Finally, we discuss the outlook for Steven in his 2nd year and plans for post-graduation.Quotes:On how Steven narrowed his focus on the energy sector: “There was something that was just fundamentally different about energy, how much it impacts people's lives, and I think everyone wants to be a part of something big that's really changing lives.”On an overlooked challenge in the industry: “The lack of equity when it comes to, both access and the cost of energy, is something that really affects communities.”On virtual networking and doing his MBA during COVID-19: “It forces you to be a lot more intentional about who you're building relationships with and sort of how you're spending your time.”LinksSteven Brisley: Email | LinkedInBERCJacobs Institute of DesignCamus EnergyBook rec: Into Thin AirSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/here-at-haas/donations
