  • HR Nightmares & Dating Policies

    HR Nightmares & Dating Policies
    2025/07/25

    Office flings, awkward disclosures, and dating policies gone sideways, Janell Zeug, Founder & CEO of P3 HR Solutions, unpacks the real stories that made HR sweat, including the infamous Coldplay incident. This episode is full of the kind of workplace drama that forces companies to rewrite the handbook, plus a look at how AI is creeping into HR decisions (for better or worse). We get into how different generations clash (and connect) at work, and what it actually takes to build a team that’s engaged, ethical, and not secretly dating in the breakroom.

  • Inside the Global Uranium Market with Eric Keller

    Inside the Global Uranium Market with Eric Keller
    2025/06/11

    Nuclear is back, baby! But there’s a catch: the world is hungry for uranium, and we're running short. Turns out, countries like China, India, and Saudi Arabia aren’t waiting around—they’re ramping up reactors faster than you can say "energy crisis." Small Modular Reactors (think mini but mighty) could totally flip the script on how we power cities, AI data centers, and your neighborhood coffee shop. Our guest knows the ins and outs of uranium investments, the weird logistics of mining, and why nuclear might just be the unsung hero of clean energy, controversial, sure, but impossible to ignore.

    Family offices are rolling into the energy game in a big way, and Chuck sits down with a couple of guys who’ve been right in the thick of it. We’re talking old-money families, London power players, and some seriously savvy strategies, like continuation vehicles, that are flipping the script on traditional deals. Keith and Brad from Stephens Inc. break it all down: what’s drawing these investors to oil and gas (hint: it’s not just the money), why Europe’s cash is flowing stateside, and how the secondary basins are getting their glow-up. If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind the curtain in today’s biggest mineral and royalty plays, this one peels it back.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

    Energy deals are popping off left and right, and it’s shaking up the whole industry, so I grabbed a few friends who know the game better than anyone to talk shop. We broke down why all these mergers keep happening, how creative insurance strategies are giving companies more wiggle room, and where natural gas fits into this ever-changing picture. Plus, we got into some juicy topics like why AI is suddenly the hottest hire in energy, the real story behind ESG investing (hint: it might not be what you think), and even how big tech might soon be cozying up with natural gas. From sovereign wealth fund moves to the secrets of disciplined investing, we’re spilling all the inside tea on energy’s biggest shakeups.

    She went from pre-med dreams to rocks and rigs and didn’t stop climbing. Nikki’s path took her from being the first in her family to graduate college to running the Ralph Lowe Energy Institute at TCU, with stops along the way in oilfields, private equity boardrooms, and global energy hubs. This episode is full of stories about pivoting careers, saying yes to wild opportunities, and mentoring the next wave of energy pros. She’s big on merging business sense with technical chops, tackling water issues, and rethinking how universities plug into the energy world. If you care about the future of hydrocarbons, AI in the patch, or what Texas energy looks like next, this one hits.

  • How Environmental Credits Are Changing Oil & Gas Forever

    How Environmental Credits Are Changing Oil & Gas Forever
    2025/05/14

    Think emission credits are just for tree huggers and big corporations? Think again, there’s serious money on the table, and most folks in oil and gas, manufacturing, or even landfill operations don’t even realize it. We're talking \$300K-a-ton kind of money. This episode pulls back the curtain on how emission reduction credits actually work and why so many small and mid-sized businesses are missing out on a goldmine sitting right under their noses. From shutting down old gear to investing in cleaner tech, there's a legit way to make money just by playing smart with emissions. It’s a no-BS look at how the system works, where the real value is, and how a little planning can pay off big time.

    Petrohawk wasn’t just another company, it flipped the whole shale game on its head, and we’ve got the guys who lived it telling the real story. From throwing out the old playbook and betting big in the Haynesville and Eagle Ford, to building a culture where collaboration actually meant something, Dick Stoneburner and Steve Herod spill the good stuff, wild deals, big risks, and billion-dollar wins. They talk about navigating private equity, spotting opportunities no one else saw, and what today’s energy world looks like compared to the wild west days of the shale boom. Plus, they share what they wish they knew when they were just starting out. It's sharp, it’s honest, and yeah, it’s pretty damn entertaining.
