In this episode, Warwick Merry chats with Simon Doble, the Founder and Global CEO of SolarBuddy. He narrates how the darkest moment in his life led him to what would be his true passion and purpose.
While he was going through the depressing stage of divorce (one of his own dark phases) he came across an article in Time magazine about a global reality that billions of people don’t have safe and reliable lighting.
