How a Single Phone Call Took Him Beyond the Turbine with Amin Ahmadi Co-Founder & CTO of AP Renewables

Would you say yes to a career you never considered, just because you're curious?

That’s exactly what Amin Ahmadi did. A lifelong tinkerer whose curiosity started at age 10 with a fascination for engines, Amin has carried that same spirit into his work as Co-Founder and CTO of AP Renewables, a Hamilton-grown company making clean energy more efficient and accessible using data and a bit of hometown ingenuity.

In this episode, we talk about what happens when curiosity meets courage to go from climbing wind turbines to managing global teams. Amin opens up about the lessons learned in leadership, how “clarity over convenience” guides his decision-making, and why building a company often means rebuilding yourself in the process.

If you’ve ever faced a layoff, felt stuck in a role that didn’t exist yet, or wondered how to turn your curiosity into your career — this episode will remind you that sometimes, the best opportunities are the ones you create.
