    In this special episode of The Shameless Plug, Saul is in San Francisco to meet up with his friend Thor Denmark.

This episode is for anyone who loves cars, clean energy, and the thrill of giving old machines new life.

    The Shameless Plug Episode 7: Katherine McConnell
    Oct 7 2025

    Electrification isn’t just tech - it’s finance. Saul and Fiona talk with Katherine McConnell, CEO and founder of Brighte, about how point-of-sale financing helps households afford solar, batteries, EV chargers, and heat pumps. They break down Australia’s new battery subsidy, why tradies are the frontline closers, and a simple way to compare loans: focus on repayments, not headline rates. Katherine also shares lessons from running an off-grid setup and how electrification can shift homes toward mindful, abundant energy use.


    You’ll learn why the transition is a move from fuels to finance, how to choose between BNPL, loans, or mortgage redraw, and what the battery rebate means for households right now.
