The median represents the conversations that are at the midpoint. They are the middle/everyday thoughts that ruminate in our minds but really don’t have a platform to be shared because in today’s world, it’s the outliers or the far ends of a spectrum, that get the attention. It’s these everyday thoughts, however, that define who we really are.

After a 17+ year career at Optus to now very much being a trailblazer in nascent industry, Geoff and I chat about:
• How an EV charging business operates
• Opportunities and challenges of working in a nascent industry
• Learnings taken from the telecommunications industry to Evie Networks
• Unpacking EV use in Australia
• What it will take to increase mindshare and expand the use of EVs
