On this episode, we have Laura Pommer Fidler (CEO - Energyfunders) back on the show to discuss her new role at Energyfunders. We discussed how Energyfunders allows individuals to invest directly into oil and gas projects and make serious returns. We chatted about how this platform is disrupting the traditional Wall Street and private equity financing models. 

On this episode Tim Taylor (Founder - Midnight Marketing) joins us to discuss how his company operates and why it chooses to operate under the radar. For a marketing company that creates engaging marketing material, original content, and various oil and gas customers as clients, they choose not to market themselves and let their work speak for itself. We discuss creating content that people want to engage in and if it feels like an advertisement, then that means it's not working. We chat about companies trusting their employees to put out content in these current times as well as how to generate genuine and creative content that pierces through the noise.

We discuss various internships he had throughout his college career, and how when an offer was pulled last minute, he was disappointed however looking back it was the best thing to happen to him.  We chatted about how pursuing his MBA allowed Tri-C to pivot and engage with different backers when looking for capital and deals.  We chat about the future of the industry and much more. Thanks Cullen for your time and wish you and your team success moving forward!
