I'm Jake Corley, and I'm Mark LaGour.

You're listening to the Oil and Gas This Week podcast brought to you by Redway.

This is the show for busy oil professionals who want to quickly get their fingers on the pulse of the industry.

Welcome back to another episode of oil and gas this week.

We are at episode 99, almost to 100.

Almost to 100.

And Jake, I am working freevishly on getting some sponsors for us to do a live event for our 100th episode. It obviously won't be for a 100th episode. But what I'm hoping to do is be able to announce it on our 100th episode. It'll be something here in Houston. There'll be food, alcohol involved. We'll invite our listeners. It'll be a good time. That'll be awesome. Hey, and if you're a company out there, it wants to be exposed to the oil and gas this week podcast audience, which is the largest oil and gas podcast audience in the world, let me know because like I said, I'm looking for sponsors for a live event. And so we were on the road this last week, Mark. You want to talk about that? Yeah, we had a great time. We went to the Mid-Continent Digital All-Fill Conference in Oklahoma.

Unfortunately, Jake and I recorded a podcast there, but the audio basically kind of sucked.

So we skipped an episode. So our apologies. It was a learning experience for all of us.

We took all three podcasts up there. So we apologize for everybody who was looking for an episode.

We just chose to, instead of putting out a kind of bad episode with poor audio quality, we decided just to skip and it would go forward to this one. But it was a fun event, though. It was a fun event. We met some good people, had a good time. It was a nice drive. I've never made that drive before. but Jake, I didn't know there are so many miles of nothing in between the north part of Texas and the middle of Oklahoma.

How about those speed limits in Oklahoma? made that drive before. But Jake, I didn't know there were so many miles of nothing in between

the north part of Texas in the middle of Oklahoma. How about those speed limits in Oklahoma?

Yeah, I got busted. I got pulled over for speeding. And thanks for the Oklahoma State Police,

they actually let me go with a written warning instead of giving me a ticket. And I would have

given me a ticket because I was, I was booking it. and we have a new on-road sponsor too

yeah so our 2017 we have actually a road sponsor for all of our trips that we're

doing is Lee Heck and Harrison they are a global experts in talent management

and they currently Jake helps 75% of the Fortune 500 oil and gas companies simplify the complexity of leadership

and workforce transformation.

So that's awesome.

A big shout out for being our travel sponsor for 2017, which means that we're able to take
