About this listen

Dale Vince never intended to start a business. Driven by a passion for sustainability, he left school aged 15 and became a New Age traveler, living for free in a wind-powered double decker bus. But after building his first wind turbine, he realized that to change the world he needed to be on the grid, not off it. In 1996, he founded green energy company Ecotricity based on principles of social, financial, and environmental sustainability, and changed the landscape of UK energy forever.

Since then, Dale has been appointed a UN ambassador for climate issues, become the owner of the first ever vegan soccer club, and amassed a fortune of over £120 million built on sustainability. He has also been a vocal supporter of Extinction Rebellion which, like Ecotricity, is based in Stroud. In this book, he shares his single-minded and uniquely purpose-orientated approach to business, with lessons learned from experience that will speak to any fledgling entrepreneur.

This is the story of a man whose unwavering mission to help save the environment has driven him all the way to the top, and a powerful manifesto for anyone who wants to change the world.

What a guy Dale Vince is. This is eye opening in respect of how simple a green world could be. Highly recommended for environmentalists and sceptics alike.

Awesome

I am richer for having listened to this, whilst I disagree about the absolute need for veganism I get the point, but a fascinating and well presented journey that is inspiring and much needed in the present day. I love that Chris Packham read part of this I hope to see political challenges made by this duo

What a journey

This is my second listen and I got so much out of it both times. It’s a memoir and a roadmap to a green economy - inspiration grounded in information that all change-makers should take to heart.

This should be on everyone’s reading list

A very interesting listen. I listen to Dale Vince's podcast but was nice to hear about his history. What an interesting character Dale Vince it. Chris Packham's narration was 5 star itself. I highly recommend this book and I will listen again.
