She Co-Founded a Solar Company, Then Built Something Bigger

What does it actually look like to build a solar company with purpose, and not lose your edge? In this episode, Joe Marhamati sits down with Maria Kingery (360Impact, Southern Energy Management) to unpack the real journey: scaling into utility projects, implementing operating systems that don’t break your team, and why B-Corp isn’t just a badge. They get into conscious leadership, employee ownership, and the “above vs. below the line” mindset that changes how decisions get made. If you’re trying to grow without burning out your people (or your mission), this one’s worth it!
