I like the Wednesday shows because of the occasional break from energy discussions, where we focus on a different, but timely, topic. This week, I’m joined by Victoria Kennedy, former crossover-Opera star who found herself at a crossroads in her career.  From playing castles and cathedrals in Europe to the gondola pilot in the Venetian hotel in Vegas, Victoria had to reinvent herself, her skills, and figure out what she was going to do with the rest of her life....

This week, we talk to Justin Bliffen, the Founder and CEO of Brigade Energy Services, about oilfield service companies.

As a veteran Navy SEAL, lots of leadership lessons and approaches.

Unquestionably, I hear a lot of “the industry has to do better educating people about what we do”. Step 1 of that process is to educate yourself on the data and the issues. Lots of resources to do it but one of the ones I had never heard of before but am really glad I did is the Southern Gas Association who helps educate by linking people and ideas. I had the pleasure of chatting with Suzanne Ogle about the...

In April of 2019, Vicki Hollub made a play for Anadarko that was aggressive, bold and totally out of the realm of my imagination that I instantly discovered that she was my favorite CEO. Oil was $72, consolidation needed to happen and everyone else was too afraid to do it.  My entire career was built on data driven, bold risk taking and, for the most part, it had worked out. She had a super fan and she was going...
