I'm James Hahn the second.

And I'm Mark LaCourt.

And you're listening to the oil and gas this week podcast.

Brought to you by Bullwork, this is the show for busy oil pros who want to quickly keep their finger

on the pulse of the industry. Episode number 78, take two. Take two, Mark Lecourt.

Yeah, we have our technical issues sometimes, don't we? We do, we do. But we have better things

to talk about than technical difficulties because we just got off of another fantastic road trip out to Tipro in San Antonio.

Yeah, we had such a great time.

It was great seeing those group of guys out there, they're doing good stuff, is great

to see the optimism, even still in the slow crew price market.

But what was even better is James, you actually did some education, didn't you?

Well, you tell me that I did an all right job.

Apparently there were some light bulbs going off for some people.

I couldn't hear from up there, so you want to you fill me in.

Yeah, so James actually was asked to speak in front of the TIPRO organization about how to

combat this anti-oil and gas rhetoric in the modern world, something oil and gas

industry struggles with. And James did a wonderful job of telling a story on how we need to communicate

and be more transparent with the people and the media out there so that the common population

understands the facts. And it was really cool because I was brought there to be general labor.

I was the cameraman. So we recorded this. You even had Tribe there to be general labor. I was the camera man.

So we recorded this. You even had Tribe Rocket on your name tag. I even had Dry Rocket on my name tag, right? So we recorded all this. So eventually we'll be able to have our listeners see what you did. But it was cool to hear the audience's reaction. As you told the story, they didn't quite put the pieces together, didn't quite put the pieces together. Then there was an aha moment.

And I literally had people, I heard them say, wow.
