Doug Campbell, an Albuquerque native, has launched the "Leaders of Enchantment" podcast to inspire and support New Mexico's growth by featuring influential leaders and their stories.

 Campbell's journey began in Albuquerque, where he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in civil engineering from the University of New Mexico (UNM). He then moved to Colorado, where he spent two decades building and selling two successful companies. The first, Roccor, LLC, provided space deployables and small satellite components and was sold to Redwire Space in 2020. The second, Solid Power Inc., focused on solid-state batteries for vehicle electrification and went public in 2022.

 After the IPO of Solid Power, Campbell returned to Albuquerque and became involved in the local start-up ecosystem and the UNM community, contributing to the School of Engineering and serving on the UNM foundation board.

 “After being gone for 20 years, it was disheartening to see how stagnant the growth is in New Mexico compared to Colorado,” Campbell said. “I’ve never been one to complain, so I’ve decided to use my talents to help New Mexico thrive.”

 The "Leaders of Enchantment" podcast is Campbell’s effort to drive growth and innovation in New Mexico by sharing stories of success, resilience, and leadership from local and national figures.
