    Chris Martz, MU Meteorology ‘25

    Chris has been absolutely blowing up X (Twitter) educating the world on how climate actually works.  So I had to have him on.  We chatted how good our historical temperature data really is, how good the more recent data and climate models, and what we can actually prove in laboratory.   Needless to say Chris doesn’t think the world is ending anytime soon if the climate is changing a little bit.

    Steven Hatcher. The Minerals Guy.

    Steven Hatcher. The Minerals Guy.

    You’ve probably heard me bitch about the lack of content creation by energy folks.  The reach of the internet and social media is vast and can truly turn your world from an “outbound” cold call approach to a content driven “inbound” program.  And we have amazing stories to tell in energy, fascinating, cool stories.   But we don’t tell them, we let environmentalist define the narrative.    That said, one dude is bucking that trend. My guy Steven Hatcher has been crushing it on social media with his videos and building his personal brand as The Minerals Guy.   He literally has people calling him, wanting to sell him their minerals.  Cool chat about building a brand and we also geek out on the minerals business these days.
