ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Quantum Quote:
"It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt
To make the transition to a sustainable civilization, we need new business models. The future belongs to clean tech startups AND traditional energy companies who evolve and lead the transition.
The Robison family business was founded over 100 years ago to deliver coal. Then Robison moved to deliver oil, then natural gas and electricity. Now - under this generation's leadership, the traditional fossil fuel company is transitioning to clean biofuels, heat pumps, and geothermal energy.
Robison aims to provide the most affordable and clean products and services to help their customers make the choice that fits their unique situation. With a 100 year commitment to their customers, Robison aims to deliver the best service, better health, and a greener future now - and for the generations to come!
Dan Singer is the CEO and President of Robison. Since his arrival in 1996, Robison has expanded its services to include natural gas supply and service, electricity supply, air conditioning, plumbing, duct cleaning, heat pumps, geothermal installations, and servicing, as well as indoor air quality solutions.

SuperNova #1. Make sure that you're working with a company that not only knows how to install the equipment, but knows how to service and maintain it.
SuperNova #2. The pro of doing it now is the amount of incentive and assistance that is available to people to do. This is a train that's moving. Eventually, everyone is going to have to make the transition. So why not do it now, when there are a lot of incentives available.
SuperNova #3. The technology we're talking about, even geothermal, isn't new technology. This isn't experimental. So it's not like you got to wait and see what's going to happen-- it works! It's here. While there will always be improvements, the technology is proven, reliable, and affordable TODAY.
Dan's AHA! Moment came when he started to become curious about ways that we can help our customers lower their carbon footprint and be more efficient, especially at times when fuel oil and gas prices are so volatile.
Best Advice He's Ever Received: Don't stop taking risks.
Personal Habit that Contributes to Success: I try as hard as I can, at least once a week, to have a genuine conversation with somebody I've never spoken to before, and just learn from them. Who are they? What makes them tick?

Magic Wand: If everybody would take a little bit more time to understand others, rather than trying to convince others. I think that will make us a little bit better. Just listen a little bit. Listen instead of talk.
Most Energized About Today: I think the pace of change is fascinating. We're doing things now leading to keeping people comfortable in their homes.
