David Lu — Purpose, Passion and Profit Against Global Air Pollution

On this episode, your host Oz Rashid is joined by David Lu, Co-Founder & CEO of Clarity Movement Co. — a team of passionate engineers and scientists focused on making a positive impact in the world by tackling the global air pollution crisis using air-sensing technology, IoT devices, and data analytics — to discuss progress and acceleration via hiring in this space.

Something you'll find a lot with people who hire is job insecurity. They don't always want to hire people they think may advance over them, but David explains why hiring people better than you puts the company on an upward trajectory, taking the company to the next stage.

As CEO, a role he has been in for the last nine years, Oz wanted to know how David stands out amongst his peers. His answer was simple and profound: persistence. Simply showing up every day is how he has built a successful business that started in his school-going days.

David shares how he finds out the true motivation for candidates wanting to work for the company. This is a vital step because, in the environmental tech space, it is essential that employees care about the same values, as this is what drives performance.

He describes how they make the company’s mission intrinsic to company culture by sharing firsthand how their customers use their products.
