Are you crazy? Probably not, but, we all need a pulse check, get our heads back in the game, feel good about what we do, who we are, what we are worth. I know we live fast paced, stressful, often painful traumatized events in our past, overwhelmed, crisis mode, health and financial problems, grief, loss, and so much more.

I stay as stoic as possible at all times and am fortunate to continue to remind myself daily as a purposely personal opportunity to grow to remind myself daily how much of a gift everything in my life is a blessing, whatever the lesson may be. Don't let a day go by or even a moment to try to help others. This conversation is with my friend Thomas Brewer, Speaker, Author, Wellness, Mental Health, and Resiliency Consultant at TB Group LLC, a consulting company specializing in Executive Coaching, Corporate Training, and Onsite EAP Crisis Response. Feel free to call him at (405) 833-7229 - tbgroupllc.com

We hope to remind our industry that we care about each other, are a family and force for daily impressive work that creates abundance of #energy for the world over many physical and mental obstacles. #oilandgas people, I hope to help you find or look for available resources to navigate through all adversity. #mentalhealth has been on my heart often this year, hearing about desperate people feeling alone and uncared for, making choices that are permanent. We can and should do better.

If we don't want to call it seeking help then find mentors or journal or make a call and just say you want to grow professionally. You may not be where you want to be today but hope you can lift others up and be inspired to see others achievements? So much to unpack. Hope you enjoy this too.

Groundbreaking (see what I did there using "groundbreaking" in this homage because Josh McCollom and scott stedman are with Pharaoh Energy Services and have frac fleets). This is epic social media content. Critics may comment, "A modern marvel masterpiece; meticulously peppered production infused with wit, wisdom, comedy, and motivational meandering covering most of life's important meanings". Yes, this must watch wonder may be the key to unlocking all of the answers to universal mysteries. We may include lighthearted, irreverent, uninhibited gaffes; however, the ideas shared here will stand as pillars to modern business development within serving our amazing #oilgas industry. Each of you decide daily to get up, plant your feet on a foundation of contributing to this generation of abundant and affordable #energy finding, harvesting, and delivering for global #humanflourishing. You grind it out. I'm fracing impressed by you all. Thank you for what you do. Have a happy fourth of July and appreciate your contribution to our liberty and freedom we are so fortunate to be proud of here in the United States Of America. We are blessed. God is good.

One of my favorite leaders in #oilgas who continually inspires many to give and do more, I'm honored to have Brittany Miller-Daugherty of Vertice Oil Tools on Oilfield Tailgate #podcast here in #Denver while meeting people and learning about #refrac from those speaking and attending Society of Petroleum Engineers International workshops. #Energy abundance and reliability demands we grow as an industry learning new methods, adapting, engineering, and developing technology.

Oilfield Tailgate oilfieldtailgate.com #podcast with Leslie Rowe in #LongBeach #California getting an amazing #oilgas and #energy tour enjoying their long history enjoying harvesting and producing reliable and abundant #naturalresources for #humanflourishing He became a friend this week as we boldly bounced about town in a truck while #networking with local community, #HSE, #fire, and #safety leaders dedicated to giving leadership, faith, mentorship, and #education. Les has impressive drive to partner with critical industries and individuals anywhere his products can protect lives and investments. As much as this week was focused on discovering peers, I assure you, there were famous plates of tasty local tacos inhaled across my palate on my travels and #entertainment. Fortunately for me the invitation to the Taco Talk Tuesday for the Men's Ministery of Parkcrest Church was a huge highlight and inspiring having newly appointed Fire Chief, Dennis Buchanan rally our burning desire to be lights in the darkness wherever we can. Another glowing ember precious moment presented itself when Les took me to a pier as workers from #offshore platforms arrived and I showed them we were fans of them and all they do with whistles, claps, cheers, pats on the back, and handshakes. Check out #THUMS, hidden production islands with palms and walls that protect and camouflage views and noise while beach goers enjoy plentiful #Petroleum provisions whom most take for granted and don't appreciate the pittance that they pay for such luxury thanks to #plastics products. The islands were named for the companies who bid for original operating contract, THUMS, a consortium named after its parent companies: Texaco, Humble, Unocal, Mobil, and Shell. You'll also see me grab one of the disembarking guys for another quick interview airing soon too. Workers should be our celebrities that give us cause for celebration. Thanks to their grind we have the pleasure of all the gifts that come from plentiful #power. Wish I had more time there but I'll be back. Maybe #Bakersfield gets a boost too. We all need to support the #oilfield there and everywhere in the #USA for life, #liberty, and security. We then made sure to meet and talk to every booth at Disasters Expo USA and find ways to hope to support their vital businesses and our combined forces against #emergency, #disaster, and #catastrophy from thermal incipient events. Les and his partners of Redline Fire Solutions are dedicated to developing non-toxic eco-friendly fire #suppression solutions to fight the fires of today and tomorrow!
