Humanity is now shifting from burning the burning of fossil fuels to a newer paradigm of energy that harnesses the natural power of the sun, the winds, and the waters. But are we changing our destructive ways quickly enough?

Jim Bunch, the founder of POWUR,  is passionate about shifting the power back to the people and helping humanity avoid the 6th Mass Extinction. 

In this compelling and informative episode of The Alchemy of Business Show, Jim tells the story of how his passion project, POWUR came to be and how it is the world’s first clean tech platform allows people to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.

POWUR allows anybody to license the software and start their own solar business from the palm of their hand for less than $100.

When it comes to the Earth, we already know the solutions; all we need to do is implement them. And in this show, Jim gives excellent advice on taking action on your vision.

Jim also has insights on how to approach the idea of failure and how important it is to experience what you came into this life to experience and accomplish what your deepest purpose is to do.

In the last 200 years, humanity has done incredible things through technology. Jim now asks: what can we do in the next 7-10 years to move into a much more sustainable place - not just for ourselves, but for our grandchildren? By following the vision of people like Jim, we will unlock more abundance and can create heaven on earth if we design it correctly, work together, and take action.

Top 3 Golden Insights shared:

1) Do something that’s worth trading your life for rather than just “spending your time” -  you should be INVESTING your time.

And where you invest your time should be aligned with WHAT YOU VALUE MOST

2)  The Importance of Executing on a Vision

“It's one thing to have a vision, it's another thing to execute on it.” We often know what we NEED to do and HOW to do it – but it is that important step of actually TAKING ACTION on what we know to be true.

3)  Accomplishing What You Are Here To Do and Try while You Still Can

“If I came here and I didn’t accomplish what I wanted to and I didn't experience what I wanted to, to me that is the only failure.”
