A Smarter Way to Fight Climate Change
Josh Green of Mysa is helping to cool a warming planet by making our homes energy efficient, smarter, and cozier. His light bulb moment (an LED bulb no doubt) for a smartphone enabled electric baseboard thermostat system came when he couldn’t find one at a major retailer. Fast forward several years and product iterations later, Mysa is now a household name and stocked on those same retail shelves. Josh talks to Carol about his ‘screw it, just do it’ attitude to overcoming fear, why you need to build your team before the product, and what the home of the (near) future will look like.
