Paul Schroeder is the CEO of HOURCAR, an effort which is currently a program of the Neighborhood Energy Connection but which is spinning off to become an independent nonprofit. HOURCAR provides car sharing services in the Twin Cities area, and what was once a small group of cars is now a fleet of over fifty vehicles.
Paul joins host Steve Boland to discuss the reasons for HOURCAR to leave (spoiler alert, NEC is merging with CEE this year!), and the challenges of a capital-intensive mission like managing car-sharing in a very dynamic world.
