Truly Insightful

I have worked in solar for many year. Sole continues to expand at a crazy pace and it is hard to keep up with the relevant developments. This podcast has helped me stay up to date and surveys as a pivotal jump off point for my own research. Keep up the great work! It is appreciated!

Makes keeping up with cleantech easy and digestible

I listen every week to get my right-sized amount of cleantech news, as the landscape can sometimes be a bit daunting to keep track of on my own. The guys have a great conversation flow and complement each other well in their approach to different issues. Highly recommend to anyone interested in the cleantech/renewables space. Looking forward to future episodes!

Every single episode brings value

I have never listened to an episode of the Factor This! podcast that I did not find incredible valuable, insightful, informative and rich. John Engel consistently catches the next big thing before it hits. These shows are full of content and opportunities that generate great ideas for our team!
