Drawing from his new book, SOLAR COASTER: The Untold Story of the Solar Industry and One Man’s Journey Leading with Soul, Jared Schoch will take audiences inside the history of the modern solar industry and share how 20 years of lessons he learned at Johnson Controls, SunEdison and SOLON, along with a four-month deeply personal sabbatical and turning point, shaped his approach to starting, building, scaling, running and stepping back from TurningPoint Energy, and his commitment to inspire, educate and pay it forward.
Schoch will sit down with award-winning journalist Scott Pelley, longtime 60 Minutes correspondent, former anchor of the CBS Evening News, and newly appointed Journalist in Residence at Columbia Journalism School, for a wide-ranging conversation about the evolution of solar energy, what it takes to succeed in one of America’s most dynamic industries and where this crazy industry is headed. They will also discuss the more personal story at the heart of SOLAR COASTER: how faith, purpose and Schoch’s belief in “soul-driven leadership” have influenced the way he builds companies, leads people and defines success.
