The Oil & Gas industry has had a major reset on almost every front in 2020. From investors, access to capital, lowering CapEx, low oil prices, high supply, and no demand. For energy sector investors, it has been a blood bath. Watching Gladiator with Russel Crow gives you the same impression.
In our conversation with Jay we cover his methodology to producing results for his clients. The process for an oil company to map out a plan, and deliver on the plan is unusual in our current market. I really enjoyed visiting with Jay about his book, podcast, and industry leadership.
I would classify this interview as a need to watch, or listen to the podcast, for great new ideas on successful and proven investment strategies.
Jay, it would be fun to stop by your podcast and check in - not that I am inviting myself.
Thank you for stopping by, and I had an absolute blast! - Stu
