an electric interview

In this conversation, we explore a very important conversation and touch on parenting in a modern world, making informed choices around health and wellness, and why legacy isn’t built through grand gestures, but through small, consistent decisions made over time. The daily ride to school is an overlooked public health issue, how diesel exhaust impacts children’s development, and why electric school buses offer immediate, tangible benefits for kids, families, and communities. Duncan breaks down what makes fleet electrification uniquely challenging — and how Highland removes the financial and logistical barriers so school districts can focus on what matters most: education. From local school districts to the global stage of the LA28 Olympic & Paralympic Games, this episode is a reminder that progress doesn’t always mean reinventing the wheel — sometimes it means making something familiar healthier, quieter, and better for the next generation.
