This is the introduction episode explaining the purpose of this podcast.

Welcome to the ExOilfield Resource (EOR) podcast.

If you Google "How to Transition out of oil and gas" you might be shocked to find... no one is investing heavily in this space.

And what's even more interesting is that most search results are Canadian - not from USA souces.

There are Reddit threads, one off blogs, and a few free resources. But no one has made it their passion to figure this out.

So I'm going to solve this problem - if you wish to (or are forced) to leave the oilfield... what do you? Where do you look?

Hi I'm Reed Stiles and I'm creating this podcast for 1 main reason - in 2016, I wanted it to exist. Almost 4 years later, here I am still shocked it doesn't currently exist. As a Petroleum Engineer by trade, I've relied on the Oil and Gas Industry to exist and thrive to pay my salary.

As I look at the economy, the technological advancements, and negative sentiment toward the industry - it makes me wonder what opportunties exist in other industry and how other folks found them. So here's the goal of the podcast: Interview folks that successfully transitioned away from traditional oil and gas industry jobs (engineers, landmen, geoscientists, finance, etc.) Pick their brains for useful tidbits that send you down a positive path of career discovery.

We're not here to talk much about the oil and gas industry, there are other podcasts for that. You should walk away with career inspiration, actionable ideas, and specific resources So, if you're in the industry - give a few of these podcasts a listen! If you know someone that needs this podcast - share it with them! And if you or someone close to you should share their story.
