To improve the world, we don't need more of the same. We need you—your unique way of seeing, doing, and building things.

In this episode, Kameale Terry, CEO and co-founder of ChargerHelp, shares how to build and lead a business from scratch to transform society despite extreme headwinds:

• America is an idea—if it’s broken, build the missing parts. Your voice is not optional.
• Put your resourcefulness to work when the ecosystem is fragmented, find the backdoor and capitalize on it
• Hire for the real game. Kameale’s first hire? Government affairs, because innovation needed rules.
• Prove the invisible. Pay for the data early → moat, credibility, and sales leverage.
• Design systems where humans win. Pair blue-collar skill with AI to raise wages, not erase jobs.
• Self-care = capacity. Let grief, loss, and doubt sharpen your mission.

Her approach is a blueprint: inner conviction + unique approach to innovation → outer systems change.
If you’ve ever doubted whether your perspective belongs, this conversation will rewire you.

About Kameale's story: 

❤️‍🔥 She's from South Central LA and the CEO and co-founder of ChargerHelp. She rebuilt an industry playbook most people never saw coming: reliability for EV charging at scale.
❤️‍🔥She raised $20M, pioneered a national technician certification, and hired government relations as her first role: She shows how policy, workforce, and AI must co-exist if you want climate tech that works at scale.
❤️‍🔥She talks about: Loss, grief, and doubt. It didn’t break her mission; it clarified it. Self-care wasn’t indulgent—it was operational capacity.
