Plugged In: A Guidehouse Insights Podcast

It's the 20th episode of Plugged In, the Guidehouse Insights podcast where we go deep into emerging sustainability topics and how they can affect your life.

We have an excellent conversation for your feed this month, when we get to talk to the newest research director on the Guidehouse Insights team, Ryan James! We talk shop with Ryan about his background as a research director for consulting firms and as a professor of Urban and Regional planning. Fresh onto the Insights Transportation team, we talk about his goals for the group and his overall goals as a researcher.

We keep chatting after that, as we dive deep into issues with vehicle electrification, the difference in community engagement between academia and private industry, and the new technologies he is most excited for. We also talk our least favorite acronyms, econometrics jokes, and create some new environmentalist hashtags. Take a listen, and make sure to #HOTDOG.

Thank you to Guidehouse for providing us this platform for discussion. To keep up to date on other Guidehouse Insights work, follow our Industry Insights blog on our website: guidehouseinsights.com.
