  • Very inspiring and informative

    Love the podcast, thanks for taking the time to create it. It is useful to have a podcast that discusses the different aspects of our industry and the varied group of people that make it all happen!

    So good to hear a diverse range of experiences - I particularly enjoyed the latest episode with the guest ‘Saskia’. I found her story to be very inspiring in the way she is so driven at such an early point in her career!

    Would recommend to anyone in the industry!

  • Interesting to hear a US take on the industry

    Just finished the first episode and learned quite a lot such as that sonic drilling is about 30 years old whereas I always assumed it was less than 10 years at most and good analogies from Brock about how drillers and engineers communicate as neither wants to offend the other. Looking forward to the next episode.
