July 09, 2025 Digital Grit: How Saga Wisdom is Reinventing Energy Learning
In this episode, John Thompson, co-founder of Saga Wisdom, joins hosts Erin Fair and Ryan Rice for a sharp, story-driven dive into the future of technical education in the energy sector.
What started as an idea scribbled down in a bar has grown into a digital learning platform that blends Netflix-style access with Masterclass-level expertise. John unpacks the entrepreneurial leap from reservoir engineer to platform builder, and the growing need for education that actually meets today’s workforce where they are—digitally, flexibly, and intelligently.
They tackle the friction of adapting to new learning styles, the push to make technical content binge-worthy, and the rise of AI in transforming how professionals are trained. And of course, they touch on Saga’s signature conference—equal parts tech bootcamp and Viking-themed bash.
This is about more than education. It’s about evolution.

June 25, 2025 The Alchemy of Adaptation: How Neptune & Nomad Took Shape with Jeremy Luth | EP 01
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.
