069 | Sean Larmand | The Expanding Presence of Clean Technology

In today’s show, Chris interviews Sean, another immensely successful Student Works alumni who is currently employed with Purolator. Shaun, a huge proponent of clean technology, shares his varied experiences and reveals some excellent tips for young entrepreneurs.

This show starts off with Sean recalling his life before Student Works. Always interested in personal development, Sean was quite frustrated with the menial income that he was earning. Participating in the Student Works program gave him real life learning, confidence and a network of likeminded people. 

After Student Works, Sean has a wide range of interesting work experiences. Building upon his Student Works experience, Sean was able to do extremely well as a corporate sales executive in Sharp Electronics. Later on, he worked in numerous clean tech startups like eTime Energy and Zero Footprint. In this segment of the show, listeners will develop a good understanding of the clean energy space.

Has clean technology space lost some of its momentum under President Trump? Are current government polices conducive for clean technology? Sean takes a long term view and reveals why, going forward, big businesses have no alternative but to adopt these technologies. 

Towards the end, Sean has some excellent advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. From being stoic when faced with failure to seeking career counseling, this show discusses some of the most common questions that young professionals and entrepreneurs often have. 

Tune in for some excellent nuggets!
