Joe Sinnott, Witting Partners, joins The Crude Life for a podcast series within a podcast titled “Sustainable Leadership Series: Why Narcissists Get Promoted Before You”.

The interview references an article published by the BBC titled “How narcissists climb the career ladder quickly” as a way to navigate and insert into the conversation.

Sinnott cites several positive attributes a narcissist can have as well as the obvious negative ones. Focusing on ways to create awareness regarding the negative and honing the positive behaviors.

Sinnott also hosts a podcast called The Energy Detox

In addition to behaviors, the impacts in the workplace is also discussed. Often times a narcissist is the one who pushes people and companies to new heights. This becomes a slippery slope and difficult to identify in the Wall Street “greed is good” world.

The emotional and mental abuse a narcissists often possesses is discussed in detail during the interview. In the world of mental health awareness and trigger litigation, understanding emotional and mental exchanges can be extremely impactful on your bottom line. Not to mention the whole humanitarian aspect.

Why companies need to understand the need for Executive Awareness right now is also discussed. From the ESG to COVID to working from home, there is a new workplace and companies need to understand so they can be ready for 2022.

This is the second installment of the series, the first was on “Crab Bucket Cultures” in the workplace. The next installment is titled “The Velvet Glove”.

Curtis Shuck understands oil and gas development. His background from working first hand with commodities, supply chain and an actual Port of imports exports literally has given him a fast track to capping abandoned wells.

Shuck is the Chairman of the Board for the Well Done Foundation.

Orphaned” wells are those for which no former owner or operator can be located, while the term “abandoned well” typically refers to an unproductive well with a known owner/operator. In either case, the wells remain uncapped and there are millions across the United States.

Shuck has been working on this issue for years and over the past couple of years he has found his lane and is seeing amazing growth in awareness, sponsorships and capping wells.

In this interview Shuck is fresh of capping a well that ended up being about 70-feet from a residential home. He is one his way out to Bradford, PA for his next trip. Bradford is close to Titusville, which is known to many as the birthplace of the American oil industry.

The interview also dives into the ESG chatter and what is important to note and what is still questionable. The two discuss the bottom line profit centers surrounding ESG and capping wells.

Shuck also notes their foundation has not accepted one dollar from the tax payers. It is all industry supported.

About the Well Done Foundation The Well Done Foundation is the brainchild of Curtis Shuck, a Montanan with three decades of experience in the oil and gas industry, who was working in the northern portion of the state when he noticed abandoned oil wells scattered across the landscape. Since that moment, he’s made it his mission to plug these wells and restore the surface area, thereby curtailing (permanently eliminating) their carbon and methane emissions. The WDF’s pilot project is in Montana’s Golden Triangle Region, home to some of the richest soil and most productive growing acres in the United States. And the Well Done Foundation’s plan is to plug all the orphan wells in Montana—with other states to follow, chipping away at the 3.2 million more scattered throughout the US and Canada.

Founded in 2019, the Well Done Foundation (WDF) is structured as a 501c3, relying on donations and the sale of carbon offsets (Climate Benefit Units) to fund awareness, plugging and land-resurfacing work necessitated by orphaned oil and gas wells.
