Questions:
 I have been listening to your podcast for a little over a year now and I always hear you discuss how important digital marketing is. I work for a division of a primarily midstream company that doesn’t do that very well whether it be due to customer privacy restrictions or to prevent protestors. Is there anything I can do to personally market the niche market my division without getting the company in any kind of trouble with the clients. We are a new division for the company that has only been around for about 3 years. We perform groundwater dewatering and large creek pump arounds. 

Hi guys, going into my final year (May 18) and as a prior marine (3 times Iraq, 1 time Afghan vet) where is that Vet focused pod cast. Any info for veterans would be great. Thanks again guys and love the podcast.

 First of all, great podcast! Heard about it from a friend and this was the 2nd episode I was able to listen to. Definitely been able to learn a lot as a senior in Undergrad from just a hour of y’all. I heard you guys mention Drilling Info was holding a luncheon in which we could attend to listen to their takeaways about the industry. I was wondering how I could register for that? Thanks for the help fellas and a lot respect to y’all for bringing this industry closer together! 

I’m currently working in North Dakota, but I’m looking at an opportunity to do some oil service work in Bakersfield, CA. I love California and have friends that live in the area, but I’m a little worried about the future of oil in California. What are your thoughts and opinions about California’s current and long term situation with the Oil and Gas industry?

Also, if I stay in North Dakota there’s a good chance that I’ll have opportunity to work internationally. Any thoughts on sticking with North America vs going international for a while?

First off, I would like to say thank you for all of the awesome content you present on the podcast as I am an avid listener and very much appreciate what you guys do. I am a Corrosion Engineering student at the University of Akron and have heard you mention that you speak at universities. I am the founder and chair of UA’s chapter of Material Advantage, which holds our meetings with our NACE Student section and Corrosion Squad, and I am very interested in having you as guest speakers. Please let me know what information you need on my end to go forth with this. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! 

First thing is I love the show guys, I never miss an episode! I’m in a sales role and report to a senior account manager. He has been doing this type of work for over 20 years, so I really respect his experience and very large network with the major oil companies. But he and his peers seem to spend a lot of time (and money) on exhibiting at conferences and trade shows, taking clients out to eat and drink, playing golf and attending trade organizations cocktail events and lunches (Sorry Mark I know your on the board of the API). My question is this – is this really an effective approach for sales people to follow, which means I just have to keep doing this until I get better at it? And one last thing, my friends want to know if you and Jake have girlfriends/wives/significate others 😉  Keep up the awesome work!!!
