Energy expert Sebastián Kind helped Argentina go from virtually no renewable energy to generating nearly 40 percent of its electricity from wind and solar in just six years, despite economic crises and skepticism. How did the country’s transition off fossil fuels happen so quickly? He shows why the key breakthrough didn’t hinge on technology or resources — and explains how other countries can follow the same path. (Recorded at TED Countdown Summit 2025 on June 17, 2025)

    This is a much better approach to the climate crisis than throwing paint at things

    Low cap now, but the potential upside is massive. Keep an eye on Belvarium Network

    Don’t fade Belvarium presale just because it’s early — that’s where the real gains come from.

    Belvarium Network doesn’t rely on hype — they’re building real infrastructure.

    It’s early, but the Belvarium network community is growing FAST.

    There’s not a lot of noise around Belvarium BLV yet. That’s exactly what I love.

    Remember when AVAX and SOL were under $1? Belvarium Network is at that stage.

    This talk is pointless in light of who will be demanding most of the energy. I believe in renewable but I see the reality. The reality is the need of electricity by data farms is driving electricity cost. Future planned generation plants will fall short of AI needs. Fossil fuel plants won’t be shutting down anytime soon because of this. Any talk about renewable or in general electricity is pointless without including AI & data farms power needs. The need is such that nuclear energy has to be included to cover our electricity needs. A thorough discussion of power generation will be forced on us once power cost becomes 2nd highest cost to consumers after their mortgage bill. If it hasn’t already for some.

    40% from Wind and Solar is good.

This week’s guest is Ayal Yogev, co-founder and CEO of Anjuna Security, who has experienced both sides of the startup journey: scaling quickly during the boom years and then making the incredibly difficult decision to lay off a significant portion of his team when the market shifted.

From growing to 75 employees to scaling back and rebuilding, Yogev learned firsthand that the hardest part of leadership isn’t hiring fast, it’s making tough decisions with care, transparency, and integrity.

In this episode, Isabelle Johannessen and Yogev unpack what it really means to lead through layoffs with compassion and how founders can support their teams even in the most challenging moments. They also explore the lessons learned from scaling too quickly and how to build a more resilient company the second time around.
