    Investing Ahead of the IPO with Marcus Laun of Sky Quarry

    In this episode of The Proffitt Show, host Monika Proffitt sits down with Marcus Laun, Executive Vice President of Business Development at Sky Quarry, a company at the forefront of sustainable, fully integrated energy solutions. Sky Quarry is tackling the significant environmental challenge posed by asphalt shingle waste, which accounts for over 15 million tons in North American landfills annually. Their innovative approach not only diverts this waste from landfills but also transforms it into valuable products like sustainable crude oil, sand, granules, limestone powder, and fiberglass, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable environment. Marcus brings over two decades of experience in advising and taking companies public, with an impressive background that includes a BS in Hotel Management from Cornell and an MBA from Columbia University. In 2019, he co-founded Sky Quarry with David Sealock, focusing on creating circular economy solutions that are pivotal for the global energy transition. During the episode, Marcus discusses the upcoming milestones for Sky Quarry, including their anticipated NASDAQ listing, and explores the role of innovative technologies in shaping the future of the energy sector over the next decade. The conversation also touches on the emerging market of carbon credit exchanges and how Sky Quarry is positioning itself in this new landscape, while transforming waste into wealth. Join Monika and Marcus for a deep dive into how this innovative process can lead to substantial economic and environmental gains, and how companies like Sky Quarry are paving the way for a more sustainable future.

    Executive Coaching for Life & Business with Luis Quiles

    “At the “ripe old” age of 20, Luis was fortunate enough to experience his first life transformation, thanks to some outstanding coaches and mentors. He learned that he didn’t have to be a project kid for the rest of his life, and that there were other routes to take. He became empowered to forge his own path despite his circumstances, and used various coaching tools that he honed to create a better life for himself and his family. Over time, his own transformation wasn’t fulfilling enough, he wanted to help others create a better life for themselves as well. Upon receiving his first coaching certificate, at age 24, he started helping people get the most out of their lives - and hasn't stopped since. He now offers free coaching sessions to those who feel the pull to explore what life can be like beyond a perception of limitations.
