On this first episode of "Accelerated" Season 2, I spoke with Drake Star Senior Advisor, Stefan Krause - Founder of Canoo, CFO of Faraday Future, BMW, and Deutsche Bank. Stefan shared his views on the EV revolution (and the non-obvious challenge for legacy brands in the transition), when we can expect to see autonomy on the road, building brands, making the transition from a corporate career to entrepreneurship, and why SPACs are here to stay.

Before this he has been a successful entrepreneur in the Electric Car industry.
