Leslie Dewan and Mark Massie, the co-founders of Transatomic, are striving to make a difference in the world. They want to bring power and light to those who do not have it and they want to show a way to turn “waste” into valuable fuel.
In this Fast Company Freethink production, Dewan shares her inspirations and talks about the scale of the challenges she, Massie and their team are facing.
It’s important for anyone who shares similar goals in life to hear the message that doing important work is “really, really hard” and that the path to success is bound to be littered with failures along the way.
The way people respond to those “failures” – which are more positively thought of as learning experiences – can be the difference between accomplishment and mere existence.
This promotional version of the message is also worth sharing and replaying when needed for encouragement.
