Welcome to Industry Focus, the show that dives into a different sector of the stock market every day.

It's Thursday, October 26th, it's the Energy and Industrial Show.

Today we have something a little different from how we usually do things.

A couple of weeks ago we had a very interesting visitor to Full HQ, Mark Mills, who is a senior fellow

at the Manhattan Institute. Mark kindly took time out of his day to talk to us about all kinds of things,

policymaking, how technology will unlock efficiency in the oil and gas industry,

the under appreciation of the US manufacturing industry, and even touches on some tech stocks.

So sorry about that Dylan.

I'm joined in the studio today by Mark Mills.

He is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a faculty fellow at the McCormack School of Engineering and

Applied Science at Northwestern, and a member of the Advisory Board and Notre Dame Riley Center

for Science, Technology and Value.

He is CEO of the Digital Power Group, a partner in Cottonwood Venture Partners,

a venture fund focused on the digital oil field. He co-founded and acted as chief strategist

for Digital Power Capital. He writes regularly for the Wall Street Journal on Forbes.

He also co-authored a book, The Bottomless Well, The Twiler of Fuel and The Virtue of Waste,

and Why We Will Never Run Out of Energy. Mark has testified before Congress, served as a staff consultant to the White House under President

Reagan.

But Mark, you began your career as an experimental physicist and I just wondered what made you apply your skills to develop

policy and investing in the way that you have.

Well that's a left field thing I would have to just say it was an accident.

All the best careers seemed to be.
