Thanks for joining us for episode 264.

Hey, Mark, your face looks better.

Thank you. I actually had somebody I met on a conference call that listens to the podcast, but I had never met him before. Literally, the first thing he said after, hello, Mark, is your face looks better. So he listens to the show, he heard. So, yes, my face looks better. It feels better, too. Yeah. Glad. Glad glad glad you're doing better much better and speaking of much better we have a review do I want to read it do I want me

go ahead I'll let you do it hey guys love the podcast I'm a Canadian citizen to have my degree

in petroleum engineering from the University of Wyoming.

I grew up in Calgary and always wanted to be a part of the energy industry in Alberta.

I worked in the field for a couple years as far as able to land an EIT job in Calgary.

I just want to give advice to other people looking to get to office jobs and industry.

Start in the field.

Agreed 100%. By getting my hands during the field before we moved in the office, it's allowed me to hit the ground running and start my new position with the greater knowledge of the industry.

It's also giving me more respect with my peers in the oil and gas industry.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on this path into the energy industry.

Thanks. Keep the black gold flowing.

This is from Josh in Canada. 100% agree, Josh. If, especially, you know, if you're in school right now and you're looking to work in the oil and gas industry, try to get some internships and try to make it field experience. So number one, you'll be one up on all over your peers who's never been in the field, which is what Josh has talked about. But number two, it makes what you do in the office more real because you know what the end results are, right? So, Josh, I think it's great advice. Thank you so much for the five-store review. Yeah. All right. So let's get in the news stories. First up, Wolfpack software acquires land advantage. So this was unexpected, came out of nowhere.

We know some of those guys, right?

We know Drew and Wade and Amy.

Jim, Jim Shaw, I think.

Yeah.
