A couple of weeks ago I posted the first two videos of a series called “How We Understand Energy”. In this series I will be interviewing people from all walks of life and perspectives with the goal of gaining a greater understanding of people’s energy literacy.
I approached a friend of mine, Michael Wetherup for an interview, and he graciously agreed. I have known Michael for over ten years. He is a husband and dad, a two-time Ironman, and a successful real estate agent in Calgary. I thought Michael would be an interesting interview because he is intelligent, eloquent, and cares about the future of the planet.
Michael did not know what the questions were and he told me he did not study before the interview.
One thing that is important to keep in mind about these interviews: it is not about being “right”. This is about understanding people’s knowledge level.
If you are interested in participating and being interviewed please contact me.
