I’m not allowed to have favorite episodes and honestly, each one is pretty different. But my interview with Bud Isaacs is certainly one of my favorites. Mines grad, Vietnam vet, a career in oil and gas, lover of the outdoors, and most recently advocate for the water shed on the western slope. The co-authored book- “Oil and Water” is a fascinating dive into the world of water and what keeps 40 million Americans hydrated from the Colorado River.
Water is THE crisis of the next 50 years and the book is a pretty powerful introduction to the concepts and thoughts around how society gets its water.
Oh yeah, and he, his wife and most of his direct family had COVID in a February. Lots of learnings, insights and just a wonderfully enjoyable day for me to spend with Bud at his house.
