Inside NZ's fuel industry with former Z Energy CEO Mike Bennetts

Join me for a riveting conversation with Mike Bennetts, the former CEO of Z Energy. Mike shares the trials and tribulations he faced as he tried to transition the company to biofuels. Despite his efforts, the venture was unsuccessful, leading the company to reset its vision, values, strategy, and community connections. Mike discusses the challenges they faced, the significant investment in revamping convenience stores, how the Shell brand became a limitation for their green aspirations, and shares his insights and considerable experience with fuel pricing and New Zealand's fuel security.  We also explore the potential tipping point for electric vehicles in New Zealand and the implications it could have on petrol stations, and indeed the lives of virtually all Kiwis.
