What does it take to transition from the oil industry into the future of renewable energy?
In this episode of the WS Podcast, Wojtek sits down with Niall Gibb to discuss his remarkable transition from 13 years in oil and gas to managing operations on one of the world’s largest offshore wind farms.
But this conversation goes far beyond energy.
Together, they explore:
the future of offshore wind and renewable energy
leadership and high-performance work environments
the importance of discipline, exercise, and routine
intermittent fasting and modern nutrition
the hidden dangers of technology, distraction, and burnout
work-life balance in rotational offshore careers
building resilience through challenge and responsibility
Niall also discusses the unique work-life balance created by rotational offshore work and how it allowed him to spend more meaningful time with his family while continuing to push himself physically and mentally.
This conversation goes beyond careers and energy systems.
It’s about adapting to change, building resilience, and creating a life with intention in a world filled with distraction and comfort.
Whether you’re interested in renewable energy, self-improvement, discipline, or modern masculinity, this episode offers practical insights into growth, balance, and long-term thinking.
All the love, all the power, all of the time!
