Why More Cars Won’t Solve Mobility | Sandra Phillips of Modo

What happens when the obvious solution isn’t actually the solution?

Electric vehicles promise a cleaner future. But replacing every gas car with an electric one won’t solve congestion, affordability, or how cities actually move.

In this episode of Builders & Believers, Amanda Stassen sits down with Sandra Phillips, CEO of Modo, to explore what it takes to build better mobility systems when affordability, infrastructure, convenience, and sustainability all have to work together. From launching carshare in North America to building her own mobility consultancy and now leading a long-running co-op, Sandra shares what it looks like to create change across corporate, entrepreneurial, and operational environments.

Rather than focusing on outcomes alone, this conversation explores what it looks like to build while the path is still unfolding, where communities need more choice, legacy models need to evolve, and leaders have to keep making decisions before the system is fully solved.

You’ll hear how Sandra navigated:

• building new mobility options inside existing systems

• the trade-off between convenience, sustainability, and affordability

• creating belief in alternatives before adoption was mainstream

• moving from intrapreneur to entrepreneur to operator

Because building something that matters takes both the builder and the believer.
