I had Travis on the podcast and we just name dropped for an hour.  Yeah, we talked a bunch of energy stuff - Halcon and the shale revolution, debt deals with Oak Tree, nuclear powering tech, hydrocarbons powering the developing world - but then we went through celebrity encounters - Justin Timberlake, Jeff Skilling, Michael Milken, Bret Michael, David Lee Roth.  The only thing strange about this energy finance bro hash session was we weren’t wearing Pickering Energy vests.
