About this episode

In this solo episode, Veslemøy Klavenes-Berge discusses the focus of the season on collaboration in the energy transition, comparing it to rafting rather than rowing in sync.

Before diving into more guests and technologies, I wanted to pause and ask: What do I actually want this season to do ? In this short solo episode, I share: Why collaboration in the energy transition is often misunderstood Why it’s less like rowing in sync — and more like rafting What this season will focus on And how the podcast will evolve going forward The energy transition doesn’t just need better technology. It needs better conversations. 🌊 Read the Substack Post I recently wrote about the difference between rowing and rafting — and why real collaboration doesn’t mean moving in perfect sync. 👉 Not Rowing. Rafting. https://vklavenes.substack.com/p/not-rowing-rafting What’s Coming This Season Monthly deep dives into concrete energy solutions Conversations across difference (not debates) Short reflections on leadership, complexity, and mindset Occasional spotlights on people working at the intersection of inner development and outer impact If this season works, I hope we become a little less certain — and a little more capable of building something together.
