Ep 77: Mission-Led Business, Sustainability, and Investing in Team Culture with Norman Crowley, Founder of Cool Planet, AVA, and Crowley Carbon

For our 77th episode, host Yoni Kozminski sat down with Norman Crowley, Founder of Cool Planet, Ava, and Crowley Carbon. Norman founded and sold three businesses for more than $750 million before the age of 40. These included The Cloud - Europe's largest WIFI operator, Inspired Gaming Group - the world's largest company in the server based gaming domain, and Trinity Commerce - one of the first eCommerce services companies in the world.

He is currently on a mission to cool the planet, and has set up an electric car manufacturing company (AVA), a decarbonisation and energy efficiency firm (Cool Planet) and a solar energy firm (Crowley Solar).

This is an interesting conversation on having a mission-led business, sustainability, and investing in team culture you wouldn't want to miss.
