After careers as a journalist at CNN and an environmental lobbyist, Gary Skulnik started his career as a serial entrepreneur in sustainable energy. His latest company is Neighborhood Sun, which dramatically expands access to solar power by connecting providers with local customers without the need to install rooftop panels. He shares his strategies behind his equity raise (which currently sits at around $1.7 million), how J-school prepared him to communicate as a CEO, and why he's glad he didn't follow his dad's advice to become a lawyer.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/successfully-funded/message
