98: Leadership, Vulnerability and Electric Innovation with Carla Detrieux

Volta Trucks' Director of Business Development Carla Detrieux masterfully flips the script on Paul Kirby and John Curtis, transforming a standard interview into a mutual exploration of authenticity and purpose. Known to her family as "Vegeta" for her passionate temperament (after the Dragon Ball Z character), Carla shares her journey from hospitality to EV innovation, including the dramatic moment of announcing Volta's previous slip into administration at the UN. The conversation weaves between professional challenges and personal revelations, with all three participants opening up about their struggles, hopes, and what makes a "good person." Through Carla's skilled conversational judo, what begins as an interview evolves into a three-way dialogue about vulnerability, neurodiversity, and driving positive change in both the EV industry and society.
