Always Be Building

This episode’s guest is Alex Epstein the author of the Moral Case for Fossil Fuels and the founder of the Center for Industrial Progress. 

Alex is a Philosopher by trade and is known for his objectivism and using critical thinking to craft his arguments. Many may think of Alex as just an advocate for the fossil fuels industry, but in practical terms fossil fuels are just a means to his end. 

Alex’s true loyalty lies in whatever form of energy will bring prosperity and flourishing to human conditions around the world. 

This episode is filled with discussion around social media censorship, the paradoxes of the modern energy debate, and if there is a possibility for fossil fuels and renewables to co-exist. 

The show is available for audio on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and the video/clips are available on YouTube.

Between main episodes of the podcast I’ll be release “Talk Energy Direct” (TE Direct) which will be a solo cast series where I talk directly with the listeners. These episodes will also be available on the main Talk.Energy channel for Spotify and Apple Podcasts. We are also going to be posting the full TE Direct episodes along with clipped out versions to the YouTube channel. 

The Talk Energy Direct series is a way for me to connect directly with listeners in an unscripted way that is unformatted and therefore open ended on how I take it each episode. I’ll likely be doing recaps and behind the scenes commentary on the main episodes as well as talking about topical issues in the energy industry. More than anything I just wanted another way to connect with listeners and keep creating content. 

This episode covers:

·        The format of the Talk.Energy podcast

·        Why I decided to start a podcast

·        What my goals are with the show

·        The work I did to get the show up and running

·        A recap of the first episode 

This episode’s guest is Ashley Zumwalt-Forbes. Ashley is a born and raised Oklahoma native with a bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering from the University of Oklahoma, and an MBA from the Harvard Business School. 

Ashley is the co-founder and President of Black Mountain Metals, where her company is betting big on the raw materials that will supply the future growth in energy storage. 

This episode is filled with international travels, hostile takeovers, and the savvy business dealings of a young and talented woman executive in Energy.

The future of energy is constantly evolving, and the goal with this show is to learn as much as I can about the possibility of what that future could look like.

Join me on Talk Energy and hopefully we can walk away with not only a better understanding of energy, but also of the amazing stories of the people that bring it into our lives.
