In this episode of The Conscious Investor, I sit down with Troy Eckard, the CEO of Eckard Enterprises, who brings over 40 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. Troy's background is impressive—starting his career in the 1980s, he’s been a pivotal figure in oil and gas exploration, pipelines, and mineral rights. Now leading a family-run business, Troy has built a dynamic portfolio, working with over 2,200 high-net-worth investors. His deep understanding of the industry's evolution—from the challenges of vertical wells to the high-tech advancements of horizontal drilling—offers conscious investors like you a unique perspective on how oil and gas fits into a modern, diversified investment strategy.

Throughout our conversation, Troy challenges common misconceptions about oil and gas, especially in today’s push for green energy. He breaks down how oil isn't just about transportation but is embedded in the very fabric of our daily lives—from the clothes we wear to the products we use. Troy also shares why, even with global efforts toward sustainability, oil demand is still rising and why savvy investors should consider it a valuable addition to their portfolio. We dive into the importance of vetting investments to avoid Ponzi schemes and how understanding industries like oil can give you a competitive edge in a rapidly changing economy.
