In this episode I talk with three young chemical engineers who are literally at the beginning of their entrepreneurial journey to change the world.
Constantine, Bijil, and Kushal recently formed team P2X to compete in the Peter Farrell Cup, the University of NSW's most prestigious competitive ideas program that has helped to fast-track the next generation of entrepreneurs and start-ups for the past 19 years.
The cup culminates in a final pitch competition where participants get the opportunity to win a share of a $20,000 cash prize pool to help take their ideas to the next level.
As part of the competition teams get allocated industry mentors who volunteer their time to help the teams develop their ideas and I was assigned as the industry mentor for P2X.
Whilst the outcome was not what they expected, my conversation with the guys is a great example of how to craft a compelling message to get people to buy into your ideas.
So if you have ever had an idea to change the world but didn’t know where to start or you have ever been frustrated that people just don’t get it or you have struggled to get people to support your idea then this episode is for you.
In this episode we find out what happens when you mix three young eager chemical engineers together with an electrocatalytic oxidiser, some explosive gas, an entrepreneurship competition, a no BS industry mentor (that would be me), and a vision to change the world - what could possibly go wrong?!
