Brian Figueroa on Graphene, Tony Robbins, and Scaling GreenTech

In this high-energy episode of Let’s Bubbl, host Hayley Melidonis welcomes Brian Figueroa, a serial entrepreneur and the CEO of GreenTech Technologies. Brian shares his journey from working in renewable energy at Intel to leading a company that is disrupting the battery storage market with cutting-edge graphene technology.

The conversation dives deep into how Brian’s commitment to personal development—including 17 firewalks with Tony Robbins—has shaped his leadership style and his vision for a sustainable future. Brian and Hayley also discuss their successful partnership using Bubbl to host intimate, high-impact networking houses at major global conferences like South by Southwest and the Global Family Office Investment Summit in Monaco.

• The Graphene Revolution: How GreenTech is utilizing graphene to create utility-level batteries that can handle 500,000 cycles, far outperforming traditional lithium-ion technology.
• The Power of Proximity: Why Brian uses "Bubbl houses" to move networking away from sterile hotel environments and into shared spaces that foster genuine human connection.
• Personal Development as a Business Strategy: How mentors like Tony Robbins and Professor Alan Tratner (co-founder of Earth Day) influenced Brian's drive to build a legacy of environmental impact.
• Arbitrage in Energy: Understanding the business model of storing energy during the day and selling it back to the grid during peak hours.

"The biggest thing is taking that first step and coming out of your comfort zone. When you apply yourself to something like this, it definitely makes an impact and helps you make things happen." – Brian Figueroa
