What does it take to accidentally invent a solar cooker and go on to power EVs, fridges, and entire lives with nothing but sunshine? Patrick Sherwin, the “mad solar scientist” behind GoSun, joins me to share how a single hot dog, a vacuum tube, and a passion for clean energy led to a revolutionary product line—and a whole new way of thinking about how we live, move, and cook.

From launching GoSun through crowdfunding to building solar-powered appliances that work in your backyard or during blackouts, Patrick’s story is a masterclass in purpose-driven innovation, scrappy product development, and building community around big, audacious ideas.
