203: How Uncharted Power Founder Jessica O. Matthews Is Bringing Energy Solutions to Underserved Populations

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jessica O. Matthews has covered every part of the side hustle sphere. She is the Founder & CEO of Uncharted Power, an award-winning, full-service power and data infrastructure company. At the age of 19, Jessica invented the SOCCKET ball, an energy generating soccer ball that provides off-grid power for the developing world. At the age of 22, she founded Uncharted Power (previously Uncharted Play), a global full-service power technology company that builds, owns, and operates renewable power infrastructure.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Growing up, Jessica loved the idea of tinkering, science and invention. That, paired with seeing her family in Nigeria affected by not having access to reliable, cost-effective power inspired her to do something about it and make an impact, even if it wasn’t linear. After side hustling for five years before running her business full time, Jessica shows that you don’t have to have the roadmap before you start. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen on</span> <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/side-hustle-pro/id1126021323"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Apple Podcasts</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,</span> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/13qDj08lBR4ymzGhXIKy8t"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Spotify</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,</span> <a href= "https://soundcloud.com/sidehustlepro"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Soundcloud</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, and</span> <a href= "http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/side-hustle-pro"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Stitcher</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <p><strong>This episode is brought to you by:</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://www.skillshare.com/join/premium?coupon=nicaila&utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=audio&utm_campaign=side-hustle-pro"> <strong>Skillshare</strong></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Get two free months of Premium Membership at</span> <a href= "https://www.s
