Well, my answer is an excellent overview of the oil and ESG market. It was an honor to sit down and talk with Jon Rogers, an experienced Board Member, CEO, and energy and ESG industry thought leader. In some inside baseball, I have had the pleasure of previously interviewing Jon and following him for years. An energy expert is not developed in a year or in a single silo, and Jon has the street cred to visit in the micro and macro views we need. Being an energy executive in companies like Locus Bio and BP working on huge energy projects is just one portion of his experience.

My talk with Jon was a lot of fun talking about things like the Clean Air Act, oil and gas E&P improving their efficiencies, and reducing the impact on the environment while delivering low-cost energy. We need more energy thought leaders to help guide us into the future learning from the past.

Thank you Jon for stopping by the podcast, and I am looking forward to our next visit.
