China added more solar capacity in 2025 than America has installed in its entire history.

That's the most important energy chart you'll see today.

And 2025 was also the first year when small-scale distributed solar pulled in more investments than utility-scale solar farms globally.

Considering that the U.S. has hundreds of GW stuck waiting for grid connections, the conditions are aligned to start putting solar + storage on every American home.

My research team put together a Deep Dive on solar, if you want the full breakdown.

Lead with authenticity: People follow genuine conviction, not polished facades.

Empower your team: Give smart people autonomy to execute.

Communicate clearly: Ambiguity kills momentum.

Admit mistakes: Transparency builds trust.

Challenge groupthink: Encourage dissent to sharpen decisions.

Hire for grit: Resilience trumps pedigree in tough times.

Delegate effectively: Focus on what only you can do.

Inspire through action: Show, don’t just tell.

Manage energy, not time: Prioritize what fuels productivity.

Stay humble: Arrogance blinds you to opportunities.

"Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
The future belongs to those who dare to dream beyond what's already been done and have faith in their own direction."
