Questions:

I am in a good and not so good predicament. I’ve spent the last 4 years working with a geophysical consulting company primarily for small independent E&P companies. When the owner of that company retired, I had to choose: go off on my own or join another company. I joined a company. And to be honest, it is a great job, great company to be working for. But the thoughts linger about the ‘what if’s’ of going on my own and the skills and technological capabilities I can lend to other E&P’s. I know what I am good at and what I can bring to the table, and I never stop trying to learn new things to add to the value of my work. So my question is, two parts I suppose: What suggestions do you have as I battle the security of a job that most people would jump for, with the urge to pursue my own venture and the uncertainties of being accepted by companies? To that end, I chose to take this job because I am young (28) and I was unsure about my ability to properly “sell myself” (proclaimed introvert for sure). Now while I still don’t feel good about it, I firmly believe in my competencies as a geophysicist and the value I can add to companies. Thanks guys, love the show, love the content, keep it up!

Hi, I’m a new listener to your podcast as I’m trying to get a job as an account servicer in an energy corporation. I apologize if this has been asked but I’m just starting to make my way through your archives. As a recent college grad in a non-STEM field, I was wondering what is the best way to learn about the field or the best way to supplement my resume to put me in a position to have a great application to get a job in the energy field? Thank you in advance!

In the June 17th, 2019 episode, one of you mentioned the atmospheric CO2 averages ~2000 and has reached as high as 7000, which today sitting around 400ppm. Can you please cite your source. I cannot find the same evidence. 

I liked your podcast until recently, but you are now starting to move from fact based discussions into politics. Making the statement on your recent podcast that the CO2 PPM is high but only represents a 1/6 of a second of game of thrones is misleading. The current levels are the highest since 800,000 years. Yes maybe the CO2 levels were higher 4 billion years ago but there was no life on Earth. Do you subscribe to “I don’t care I will be dead” or should we at least report the facts and do something. Just in case there are consequences for our children.

Some questions for the QA podcast 

* What is the risk of the current situation around Iran, * Will the USA go into a full war with Iran or not, * Why can the world not kick Iran and Saudi Arabia (don’t tell me that this is a nice country. How many times they hit a woman who was raped) get off the Saudi and Iran supply,
