  • 13. #LeadershipGoals w/Ward Polzin
    As I (Sally) mention in the intro, Ward Polzin, CEO at Camino Natural Resources, is one of the kindest, most authentic leaders I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His approach on leadership is one that is rare in the oil & gas sector and in my opinion, should be emulated more.
    With a degree in engineering from Colorado School of Mines and an MBA from Rice University, Ward was able to develop his career from the field to the C-Suite through a variety of experiences. Our discussion includes valuable leadership tips, including why it's important to hire people smarter than you, as well as insight into which basin he thinks is best. I truly believe that every listener - regardless of gender, skill or sector – will glean tips from this episode. Enjoy!

  • 11. The Oilfield Impact, sponsored by QEP Resources

    Undoubtedly, we live in a world with very mixed feelings about the US oil and gas industry. Sometimes, those conversations mute the positive impact the industry has made on the rural and urban communities in which we operate. And it’s not just the companies in the industries. Employees in the industry are some of the most generous people you will ever encounter. Enter today’s guest, Rex Korslien.

    I had the pleasure of working with Rex at Whiting before he moved over to QEP Resources. He is now a Superintendent with QEP based out of Watford City, North Dakota. In this episode, sponsored by QEP Resources, we dive into the type of leadership Rex has developed, how passion for the industry keeps him motivated during a downturn and most importantly, why The Bakken is the place to be.

    Fun fact: Rex is a man of many talents, including volunteering his auctioneer skills on the side, which you get a taste of in this episode (17:15).

  • 8. Embracing the Suck w/Nick Williams

    Life is a roller coaster, full of ups and downs, and it’s how we handle the ride that makes us the people we are. Are you one to close your eyes and hold on for dear life or do you take the ride with eyes wide open and embrace the fear, knowing you’ll make it to the end? Today we get to speak with Nick Williams, father of three, a salesman with Leam Drilling Services and one of the most resilient and positive men I have ever met.

    In this episode, Nick talks about how he’s embraced challenges of our industry (14:16), the genesis for starting Down for a Cure (29:00) and how you can support it (31:40) as well as his personal tips for being in sales regardless of your industry (38:32).

  • 7. BLM - it’s not just a land thing w/Kathy Dawson
    On May 25, 2020 our country saw the murder of George Floyd through a video that showed the world how easy it was for someone in power to take the life of another. This video showed the reality that many BIPOC Americans live every day of their lives and ignited a fire under people to fight harder for equality and real, sustainable change.
    I found myself in a position of uncertainty - a feeling I abhor. Uncertain if I was being supportive of Black Americans and if I wasn’t, uncertain of how I could be. This episode captures only a portion of how my coworker, Kathy Dawson, has helped me to open my eyes and ears to a part of our world that needs major change.
    Normally this is the part where I would give highlights of our conversation and tell you where in the track you could find it; however, in my mind, this episode is worth the full listen so I’m skipping the CliffsNotes. After talking with Kathy, I was inspired to learn even more about the history of Black Americans and the Black Lives Matter movement, and have included a few of the links I’ve found below. I hope that like me, this episode inspires you to educate, listen and support our fellow BIPOC Americans. #blacklivesmatter
