In this no-fluff conversation, Jeremy Luth unpacks what it really takes to survive—and thrive—in the chemical industry. With Erin Fair, and Ryan Rice steering the dialogue, Jeremy shares the gritty reality of launching Neptune and Nomad Chemical, where innovation meets relentless volatility.
The group dives into early missteps, market gaps, and the brutal honesty required to pivot when things break (sometimes literally). Jeremy adds hard-earned perspective on the ethical grey zones of oil and chemicals—where transparency isn’t optional, and chemistry isn’t just science, it’s strategy.
It’s a raw look at what happens when entrepreneurial drive collides with real-world complexity—and why adaptability isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s survival.
