Why Battery Safety Could Be the Biggest Risk in the EV Revolution | Seth Farbman's Podcast

Electric vehicles, smartphones, laptops, grid storage modern life runs on batteries. But what happens when those batteries fail? In this episode of Startup to Stock Exchange, Seth Farbman sits down with Bryan Morin, physicist, entrepreneur, and CEO of Soteria Battery Innovation Group, a company focused on solving one of the biggest hidden problems in the energy transition: battery safety. Bryan shares his unlikely path from earning a PhD in physics to becoming a serial entrepreneur in the battery industry. After navigating the brutal lessons of the 2008 financial crisis and nearly losing his first company, he pivoted into a mission-driven venture aimed at preventing the kinds of battery failures that can cause fires, recalls, and billions of dollars in damage. Instead of competing with other companies, Soteria built a global consortium of battery manufacturers, researchers, and innovators focused on making the entire industry safer. If you want to learn more about the real risks behind the battery boom, the lessons Bryan learned as an entrepreneur, and how the future of safer energy storage is being built, listen to the full episode.
