In this powerful debut episode of Renewable Energy Renewable Life, Phil Teague shares his journey from having just $60 in his pocket to speaking on global stages in places like Dubai about the future of energy innovation.
After seven years in Big Oil during the 2008 economic crisis, Phil felt called to something greater — a mission to “rectify” the energy system. That calling led him to renewable energy, faith-driven leadership, and eventually groundbreaking work in high-voltage direct current (DC) technology. In partnership with Purdue University, he helped develop the first new DC powerhouse technology in over a century — enabling more efficient microgrids, reducing energy usage, and advancing the global energy transition.
But this episode isn’t just about technology. It’s about purpose.
Phil explores how solar energy connects to faith, why light is both a scientific and spiritual foundation for growth, and how innovation, responsibility, and belief intersect. This podcast is about more than renewable energy — it’s about renewing your mindset, your mission, and your life.
