    needless to say, “I voted for Trump and I’d do it again”.. clearly his judgment is clouded (at best) and his morality is absent.

  • Self serving

    It’s tough listening to the host Joe continually praise himself and/or the companies he’s involved with, while criticizing others for seemingly no reason. He’s a got peak small man energy.

    Thankfully, he brings on great guests most of the time who help bring interesting knowledge to the conversation.

  • Full of great perspective on his experiences in the Lithium market

    I’ve only recently began peaking an interest in the lithium space, honestly I didn’t about it so I have to admit I’m uneducated and I look forward to this podcast to gain knowledge and perspective in a space Joe knows so well. You don’t earn the name Mr. Lithium without knowing your stuff. Keep up the great work thank you for what you do Joe.

  • Joe has a point of view!

    Joe’s experience and contacts are ‘must listen’. While Joe did not get the price movement right last year, he did provide a lot of useful context for what was happening as the lithium price melted down. The best aspect of the podcast is his vast knowledge of all of the companies and especially how China operates. I have deep respect for his willingness to put himself out there on his podcast. Very grateful for Joe Lowry.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 241: Dr Yuan Gao
Q: What do you see as the two or three most important trends going on in battery?
The lithium market is tightening, energy storage is at an inflection point with ESS taking off, and while there isn't a single earth-shattering battery tech, solid-state and lithium metal are approaching commercialization but require overcoming significant cost and integration challenges.
Episode 242: Standard Lithium
Q: When do you think you'll be building project number two?
Planning assumes roughly a two-year gap between Southwest Arkansas phase one and the next project in East Texas, with parallel optimization of procurement, contractor readiness, and learning from the first project to improve efficiency and cost. The aim is to keep experienced teams in place to accelerate execution and avoid reinventing the wheel for the second project.
Episode 242: Standard Lithium
Q: Tell us about this long and winding road. How did the offtake process evolve for Southwest Arkansas?
The process began years ago with a strategy to secure two or three creditworthy offtake partners representing a large portion of production, ensuring exposure across market segments. They evaluated many potential partners, learned from market cycles, and ultimately aligned with LGES for a comprehensive, bankable framework supported by real demonstrations and time-tested data from their brine processing.
Episode 239: Venkee Sharma
Q: What is Pearl and how does it fit into the broader strategy?
Pearl stands for purification, extraction, and refining of lithium, acting as a platform that licenses technologies, delivers modular equipment, and provides ongoing digital optimization to cover the full flow sheet from brine interface to battery-grade lithium.
Episode 239: Venkee Sharma
Q: How does Aquatech handle the bespoke nature of DLE across different brines and regions?
Aquatech argues for a best-fit approach to each resource, using LiPro where suitable but also applying other DLE technologies when needed to match brine chemistry and contaminants; the emphasis is on the full flow sheet integration to maximize performance and cost efficiency rather than applying a single universal DLE solution.
