From deep in the heart of the energy capital of North America, the Yonder Boys offer new insights and introductions to some impressive leaders in energy branding, thanks to our stint with the Charge Energy Branding Conference in Texas.

Notable takeaways: simplicity rules, humanity is the compass, innovative thinking is essential — and oh, there's a passel of bad-ass women leading the way in energy coms. We talk to one of them in this episode: Brittany Hirson, CEO of South Bay Energy. Give us your feedback!

Coming off an incredible two-day discovery session on the state of brand in the global energy transition, smack dab in Houston, TX, the Yonder Boys discuss this meeting of minds on the communication side of what's keeping the lights on (and the pe...

Fresh off a couple days of rethinking how we talk about a global energy transition at Charge Energy Branding Conference in Houston, TX, The Yonder Boys, and (pictured - holding court!) are here to report, that there are some bright, progressive minds on the case. Just our kind of party!
We met a ton of great folks but a few special shout-outs:
1. Our hosts in Houston, Fridrick Larson, Nick Rastall, Natalie Bacon and the whole Charge Energy Branding Conference team for making everything so easy. (pictured)

2. Our guest this episode, fellow CHARGE attendee and panelist, Brittany Hirson (pictured)

3. The Billy Preston to our Fab Two, the Oscar Acosta to our Gonzo-inspired journalism, third and honorary Yonder Boy, Chet Parsons (Bollinger Motors, pictured along with) Elaine Kwok-Duncan (Peak Power, Inc), K.C. Boyce (Escalent), Joachim ter Harr (Skriptor Zigila), Shirin Oreizy (Next Step) and the always camera shy Yonder Boy, at the event.

April Episode ( #13) is now live and this month we challenge conventional mobility wisdom. Ban scooters in Paris? Yes! Get ll hot and bothered about a Hyundai? You know it. Walmart turning tree-hugger? Whoa! Pump the brakes. But they are trying out some car-sharing, employee incentives.

Face palms meet head snaps. In one of our more lighthearted episodes, the Yonder Boys tap the dark side of communications for scandal, outrage, and schadenfreude. “WTF Were They Thinking” is basically the premise of the Yonder Boys podcast — because too many communicators are whiffing the sustainability conversation. But in this episode we call out a few absolute stinkers. Fortunately for you, Gentle Listener, we balance the groans with cheers in a conversation with Chet Parsons, a 10+ year EV vet leading the charge to bring VinFast, a new electric vehicle brand, from Vietnam to the US. Talk about the American Dream. From Atlanta to San Francisco, from DC to Phú Quốc, we’re going places in the week’s Yonder Boys.

Ep 7 - The Gospel of "Drive Less" hit the pod-waves a week ago. Co-hosts Geoffrey Abraham and G.B. Veerman talk about Ford's DTC EV strategy, why people in the burbs are killing at-office-culture (for better or worse) and how Volvo plans on getting you addicted to their cars. We also chat with Julia Thayne and Ben Holland about the uphill battle we face against car culture. Can Biden's infrastructure plan help or is it all just a political show. Don't miss the last episode of The Yonder Boys before our next one launches this week!
