Do you want to be seen as more than just another vendor? 

🌎Try this: always know what's really moving in your client's world.

Too many sales reps and consultants fall into the trap of showing up with the same pitch, the same materials, and the same assumptions. 

The reality is the leaders making decisions in Oil & Gas, Energy and Construction are dealing with new questions every day. 

They're watching commodity prices, supply chains, geopolitics, and safety all at once.

If you're not speaking to what's keeping them up at night this quarter, you're just another name in their inbox.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of joining the Joint Meeting AADE Houston and American Petroleum Institute (API) Houston Chapter where Jeff Krimmel from KSG - Krimmel Strategy Group was the keynote speaker. 

♻️He didn't show up with recycled slides or recycled wisdom. 

He broke down his latest research on what upstream (E&P) and oilfield service companies are actually prioritizing now, not just what made headlines last year.

One thing that stood out: he dove deep into the latest developments around Venezuela. 

That sparked real debate in the room. 

The risks, the future potential, the uncertainty for U.S. energy. 

It made me realize truly valuable partners aren't repeating what's already in the Wall Street Journal. 

They're connecting the dots, making sense of the noise, and helping clients see around corners.

So, why does this matter for anyone in the business of branded workwear, custom apparel, or promotional products? 

Because being relevant goes beyond the fabric and the logo. 

📉It's about knowing how those details fit into your client's strategy. 

When you walk into a meeting or send out a proposal, your clients will remember the person who referenced the latest merger in their sector, 

or who understood how new regulations might impact site safety standards and, in turn, uniform requirements.

Clients want someone who can speak their language. 

The stakes are often bigger than the apparel order form. 

It's about brand reputation, safety compliance, team morale, and sometimes, even community perception. 

If you're up to date and curious about what's happening in their world, you're immediately in a different league.

The takeaway here is simple: never stop learning. 

Carve out time each week to scan the latest news in your target sectors, 

ask clients about their biggest challenges, 

and don't be afraid to bring up tough topics. 

Even if you don't have all the answers, showing that you care enough to ask the right questions sets you apart.

I'm interested to hear how others are staying ahead of the curve. 

Are you finding creative ways to keep your industry knowledge sharp? 

How do you make sure your suggestions are timely, not just "good enough"?

What's your go-to method for staying relevant in a changing market?

Co-Founder

The journey to founding Dottie's Designs began during the challenging times of COVID-19. After being laid off from a major corporation, I faced uncertainty about the future. My dog, Dottie, was a beacon of light, providing comfort and joy when I needed it most. Inspired by her unwavering support, I named my business after her, symbolizing resilience and hope.

As a mompreneur, balancing home life and starting a new business was no easy feat. With a family to support, I knew I could do more with my life and decided to jump in feet first into the world of custom apparel. I took on multiple roles—salesperson, marketer, logistics manager, and accountant—learning and adapting as I went along. Each day presented new challenges, but also new opportunities to grow and innovate.

Starting from scratch, I immersed myself in learning about custom apparel, driven by a passion for creativity and a desire to make a meaningful impact. Overcoming initial doubts, I embraced each challenge, gradually building confidence and expertise. Dottie's Designs quickly grew from a small venture into a thriving business, known for its unique designs and personalized service.

Balancing the demands of entrepreneurship with my responsibilities at home required a great deal of perseverance and dedication. Late nights and early mornings became routine as I worked tirelessly to build a brand that resonated with customers. The support from my family and the joy of seeing my business grow kept me motivated.

Through dedication and perseverance, I transformed a difficult period into an opportunity for growth and innovation. 

Little did I know, this was setting me up for my next opportunity. My journey with Dottie's Designs not only allowed me to create a successful business but also reinforced the importance of resilience, passion, and believing in oneself. This experience showed me that even in the face of adversity, we have the power to redefine our paths and achieve remarkable success.

AI just crashed the Oil and Gas party.

It's changing the industry from the inside out.

Recently, I had the opportunity to guest host at the Cognite User Forum for the OGGN Digital Doers podcast. 

My guests were two standouts from Cosmo Oil Co., Ltd. , Noriko Rzonca and kiyohide yoshii

Noriko tackled the biggest challenge right out of the gate: data quality. 

She didn't sugarcoat it. 

Cosmo Oil's journey with AI-powered operations begins and ends with data, and it hasn't been easy. 

Investing in data quality isn't glamorous.

But it's where digital transformation actually starts. 

Kiyohide got practical. 

He's been leading the shift from reactive to proactive maintenance, 

and AI is turning that vision into a necessity, not just a goal. 

Cosmo Oil is moving from waiting for breakdowns to predicting and preventing them. 

But it's not just about the tech. 

The human side? 

It's huge. 

Both Noriko and Kiyohide made it clear.

AI is rewriting job descriptions almost overnight. 

I've experienced this myself in my work, 

and it's the difference between real transformation and just running on a treadmill.

What did I take away from this conversation?

Start with your data, even if you feel miles behind. 

AI is only as good as what you feed it.

Proactive maintenance isn't just a best practice.

It's the new standard in a competitive market.

Good governance is important,

but chasing perfection will freeze progress. 

Quick wins matter.

Don't underestimate how much people will need to adapt. 

Invest in their growth as much as the technology.

If you're a leader in oil and gas or the industrial sector and planning for AI, 

these voices offer a real-world roadmap. 

The disruption isn't hype, it's here, and it's found in both the work and the people.

How about you?

Are you tackling data gaps, team buy-in, or finding that first AI project?

Or maybe you've started and learned lessons the hard way?

I walked into my first Oilfield Helping Hands Lunch today not really knowing what to expect. 

I've been to a lot of industry events. 

Most of them follow the same script. 

Quick handshakes. 

Business cards traded over lukewarm coffee. 

But this one felt different before I even found a seat.

There's something about a room full of people who are there for more than just a sale or a deal. 

You can feel it. 

The air is charged with a different kind of energy. 

It's not about contracts or company swag. 

It's about people.

I realized I'd spent years in the business but somehow missed the heart beating at its center. 

The numbers, the deadlines, the deals, they matter. 

But what matters more is what happens when nobody's watching. 

When somebody is struggling. 

When someone can't pay the bills. 

Or needs a shoulder. 

Or just isn't sure they can make it through another day. 

That's when we have a choice.

It's easy to talk about "community" when things are going well. 

It's harder to live it when things get messy. 

This group does. 

Quietly, with no spotlight. 

They show up for each other, every time.

The speakers didn't just talk about profits or projections. 

They talked about impact. 

About dignity. 

About what it means to be human in a business that can feel anything but personal. 

I looked around and saw the faces of people who've weathered a storm or two. 

People who know that giving back isn't a line item. 

It's a way of life.

I left the event with more than a stack of business cards. 

I left with new perspective. 

In our drive to hit targets, gain market share, and grow brands, it's easy to forget who we're really working for. 

The faces behind the hard hats and coveralls. 

The families waiting at home. 

The friends who stand by you when the dust settles. 

That's the real story.

If you've never been to an Oilfield Helping Hands event, I hope you'll consider it. 

There's no better reminder that real success isn't measured in contracts closed or deals signed. 

It's measured in how we show up for each other, especially on the hard days.

Who in your career has shown up for you when it counted? 

Let's make sure these stories are part of our industry's legacy, not just a footnote.

Sometimes, the smallest gesture changes everything.

Thanks Nohemi McRae and @rick-cannon for the invitation!! I can't wait to get more involved.

Oilfield Helping Hands

Partnering with companies to secure the right professional talent to drive change and deliver transformational initiatives across Accounting, Audit, Finance, FP&A, Tax, Supply Chain, Technology, and more.

Charity golf tournaments do the same thing every year. ⛳

Show up. 

Swing the club. 

Maybe shake a few hands, grab a donut, write a check, feel good for a few hours, and go home. 

It's a nice gesture, but let's be honest, 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗹𝗲.

Redeemed Golf for Good doesn't play by those rules.

I'm not interested in events that check the box or offer a photo op. 

When you step onto the course at Golf for Good, you're not just there for your company's logo on a banner. 

𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

Here's what people miss: Purpose scales when leaders act with intention. 

I've watched competitors become collaborators on these greens. 

I've seen sponsors double their donations because of a single conversation by the putting green. 

𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦, 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦, 𝘦𝘨𝘰 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯.

Every single interaction matters. 

That first handshake at the registration table? 🤝

Might turn into a partnership that changes a nonprofit's trajectory. 

The business cards exchanged over lunch? 

Could be the missing piece a support organization needs to reach more survivors. 

The sponsorship dollars? 

They buy more than signage.

They pay for safe housing, trauma counseling, legal support, even basic dignity for people who had it taken from them.

Golf for Good is more than a fundraiser. 🏌️♂️🏌️♀️

It's a reminder that the best leaders don't separate business and giving back. 

They leverage every asset, every connection, every bit of influence to move the mission forward.

Over the years, I've seen relationships formed on the fairway turn into action off the course. 

New initiatives, new revenue streams, new allies in the fight. 

This isn't about who takes home the trophy. Or last place like I did last year 😆

It's about which teams show up ready to do real work.

If you're an executive, a business owner, or even just someone in Houston who wants to see our community do better, this is your invitation. 

Not to play golf, but to step up and use what you've built to make a dent.

Charity isn't a side project. 

It's a use of power. 

That's what Golf for Good gets right.

I've witnessed firsthand the change that comes from leaders who don't just open their wallets, they open their networks, their time, and their minds. 

𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘩 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘴.

Thanks to everyone who shows up not for the cameras, but for a cause.

Will you join us?

Most networking events are a waste of makeup for women executives. 💄

You show up. 

You get a name tag. 

You circle the room making forced small talk with people who barely listen. 

You leave with a pile of business cards and no real connections.

That's not good enough.

Women executives deserve real allies and real community. 

We need warm, strategic relationships that actually matter. 

We need a space where the conversation is honest, the energy is high, and every introduction counts.

That's why we're doing this differently.

Tee Up! Presented by Oil and Gas Global Network A Stronger Tomorrow Wellness LLC

Monday, February 23, 2026. The Woodlands Country Club.

This event is exclusively for women in the C-suite, founders, VPs, and senior leaders who want to connect with other high-impact women in business. 

Not just for the game, but for the game changers.

No random assignments. 

Every guest is hand selected. 🤝

Foursomes are curated. 

Pre-event introductions are made so you walk in knowing who matters to your business and why you're there. 

You're paired with real peers, women who know exactly what it means to lead, risk, and deliver.

You'll spend a day on the course with people who don't need your resume recited. 

People who get your pressure, your wins, your struggles. 

Conversation is encouraged. 

Honesty is welcome. 

Ambition is expected. 

After the game, we drop the formality. 

The cocktail hour is about real talk, not just business pitches. 

Share what's worked, what's failed, and what you're building next. 

Listen, learn, and tap into the unspoken lessons you won't hear at panels or on podcasts.

You're not here to collect contacts. 

You're here to find partners, confidants, maybe even lifelong friends. 

People who pick up the phone when you call because you've actually spent quality time together.

And there's purpose behind it all. 

Every dollar raised will go to redM Join The Movement , an organization bringing awareness to human trafficking. 

Our goal? 

Raise $10,000 in one day and equip more women and children with the chance for a future. 

Real women lifting up real women, with measurable impact.

You can sponsor, play, or simply show up and support. 

Bring someone who needs this. 

Show the next generation that this is how business gets done. 

No elevator pitches. 

No "networking hacks." 

No empty handshakes. 

Just driven women building a new standard for what executive community looks like.

If you're an executive woman tired of transactional events, this is the table you want to sit at. 

If you're serious about opening doors and not just being seen, this is your spot.

Ready to show up? 

Ready to bring your authentic self, and meet others doing the same?

Tag a woman leader who needs to be there. 

Register, sponsor, or just reach out if you want to know more.

Stop settling for less. 

This is your room.🏌️♀️

If you're a founder still ignoring personal branding, you're leaving money on the table. 💰

No sugarcoating.

Content is not a side hustle. 

𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁.

Here are the straight facts:

Most business owners talk about "word of mouth" like it's magic. 

But in 2026, your digital voice is louder than any handshake. 🎙️

If you aren't showing up, you're invisible. 

𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙙.

Here's reality:

𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯.

I've recruited top talent, no headhunter required. 

People come to me because they know my values before we ever talk.

I've tested new offers before launch, my audience tells me in real time if it's a winner or a dud. ☑️

I've been invited on podcasts and panels, just because my name kept coming up online.

𝙰𝚕𝚕 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚋𝚎𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝙸 𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝 𝚖𝚢 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚒𝚝'𝚜 𝚊𝚜 𝚌𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚕 𝚊𝚜 𝚙𝚊𝚢𝚛𝚘𝚕𝚕.

Personal branding is the difference between waiting for business and creating it.

Here's what most founders get wrong:

They post once a quarter and expect results.
They hide behind their company logo.
They wait for "the right time."

There is no perfect time. 

Your competitors are already telling their stories, building trust, locking in market share that should be yours.

Here are my recommendations:

Audit your feed. 

𝘞𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘠𝘖𝘜 𝘣𝘶𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘺𝘰𝘶? 
𝘞𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶? 
𝘞𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶?
𝘐𝘧 𝘯𝘰𝘵, 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘷𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰.

Start with these three moves:

1. Share what you know. Don't gatekeep. Industry tips, lessons learned, wins and mistakes, 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆.
2. Show your face and your voice. Your story is your leverage. 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁.
3. Engage,don't just broadcast. Respond, comment, ask questions. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀.

None of this costs you a dime. But ignoring it WILL cost you opportunities.

Still skeptical? 

Keep doing what you've always done. 

See where it gets you. 

But if you want to actually grow in 2026, use your personal brand like the growth engine it is.

What's stopping you?

𝗛𝗲'𝘀 𝟰𝟱 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆.

We've been together for what feels like at least three lifetimes. 

If marriage had frequent flyer miles, we'd have enough for a trip to space.

𝘍𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘴 20 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥, 25 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳. 

If you need advice on "how to survive close-quarters cohabitation," 

I'm probably overqualified.

Some actual, factual time-tested marriage lessons, 

learned the hard (𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨) way:

1. You will never finish picking up socks, shoes and hats. 

𝗛𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺. 

He will never find the laundry basket. 

Give up. 

Accept these items are now part of the home's natural ecosystem or pick them up myself. (the path of least resistance by the way)

2. Your spouse will develop entire communication languages made up of sighs, eyebrow raises, and muttered phrases. 

𝘋𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦, 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 2.

And I will never stop mumbling, BTW.

3. Saying "I'm fine" never means "I'm fine." 

Just skip to apology 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺, whichever applies.

4. You will have arguments over the dumbest things imaginable. 

Did you really just debate the correct way to load a dishwasher? 

Yes. 

Yes, you did. 

𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵.

5. There is no such thing as "just one more episode." 

It's 1am, you both have work in the morning, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀'𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻. 

We will finish it this week! HA!

6. Your partner's quirks will either drive you crazy or make you laugh. 

Sometimes both, simultaneously.

Let me be clear, he feels the same way about me. 

𝘼𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 25 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨, 𝙄 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙪𝙩. 

Some days are smooth, others are loud. 

But there's laughter, there's stubbornness, 

𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘢 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘶𝘱 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸.

If marriage is teamwork, sometimes we're the Dream Team.

If I had a dollar for every generic sales demo I sat through, I'd have enough to buy out the entire PowerPoint stock.

Most demos are a parade of bad jokes, fake excitement, and screensharing anxiety. 

It's the only time grown adults pretend to care about how a button changes color when you click it.

You know the type:

"Let me just share my screen... wait, can everyone see this?" 

"Oops, not that tab. Ignore the 27 Chrome windows. I swear I'm organized."

Then comes the slide deck. 

Fifty slides. 

Forty-nine are full of buzzwords like "synergy" and "leverage." 

Nobody knows what any of it means, including the person presenting.

The chat is silent. 

The prospects are probably checking emails, texting their dog, or mentally escaping to a beach in Cancun. 

When the demo finally starts, here's the routine:
𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘰𝘯. "𝘐𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘭?"
𝘗𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘴𝘮. 
𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦'𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘭 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺.

The questions are legendary:
"Does it integrate with our 17 other platforms?"
"Can it also make coffee?"

The unspoken dynamic: 
𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴. 
𝘈𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘦.

My favorite move is when the rep's WiFi dies right before the ONE feature they bragged about. 

Nothing says "trust us" like frozen video and a spinning wheel.

Here's what nobody tells you about sales demos:
𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦, 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮.
𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶.
𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘢 𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘵, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘈𝘐.

I stopped pitching and started roasting my own product. 

I'll admit when a feature is weird. 

Prospects laugh. 

Suddenly, people unmute. 

They ask real questions. 

Someone cracks a bad joke back. 

The deal is already halfway done.

Here's my best advice for sales demos that don't suck:
1. Lose the script. Talk like a human. 
2. Find the weirdest thing your tool does. Show it first. 
3. Tell a story about the WORST use case. Everyone's seen perfect,they remember disaster. 
4. If you crash the software, own it. Nothing builds trust faster than blatant honesty. 
5. Always ask, "What's the worst demo you've ever seen?" You'll get the room laughing and the real pain points.

At the end, forget the "next steps" slide. 

Just say, "Was this the least painful demo you've seen all week?" If you get a laugh, you're already ahead of 99 percent of salespeople.

If your demo feels like a hostage situation, it probably is.

How bad are your demo stories? 

Drop your funniest or most painful one below.

Because if we can't laugh at the process, we should at least get hazard pay.

Everyone claims AI will change everything.

Most of the industry talk is just that, talk. 

Slide decks. 

Buzzwords. 

Abstract ideas that never make it from the boardroom to the rig floor.

That's why today felt different.

I sat in on Timbergrove session about Real Time Monitoring and AI for Offshore Safety Operations. 

I didn't walk in expecting anything groundbreaking. 

I've heard it all before.

But about ten minutes in, that changed.

Instead of theory, we got a conversation stacked with real data and actual use cases. 

They described live feeds from an offshore site. 

Not archived screenshots. 

Not canned footage. 

AI wasn't a magic black box. 

It was a tool, tracking gas levels, machinery status, and worker locations, second by second. 

Alerts popped up within seconds of simulated incidents, no delays, no missed signals. 

Not a consultant's dream, but something built to handle the chaos of a real site.

They answered every tough question without dodging. 

What happens when the network goes down? 

How do you handle false alarms? 

What does this look like on a muddy, noisy, hazardous rig, not some pristine demo room?

They had answers. 

Not perfect, but honest and grounded.

And here's where it really landed: I walked out with a plan. 

Not a theory or another buzzword, an honest-to-goodness action item for my team.

Our clients are mapping out how to pilot real-time monitoring on two of our job sites.

We're going to see what breaks, what works, and what needs tweaking.

It's not about chasing AI for the sake of being trendy. 

It's about making people safer, faster, better.

This is where the conversation finally gets interesting for me. 

Less about questions like "Will AI take my job?" and more about "How can I use these tools to get everyone home safe and on time?"

There's no shortage of opinions or predictions out there. 

But fewer companies are putting real-world, dirt-under-the-fingernails solutions on the table.

Today showed me what that looks like.

Here's my take: If you're bored of the AI hype, stop listening to the noise.

Find the people actually solving problems on the ground.

They're not always the loudest. 

But they're the ones bringing the future a little closer, one real-world use case at a time.

That's the side of AI I'm betting on.

Thanks Ian Uriarte for an engaging discussion. Looking forward to the next event!

LinkedIn likes to remind us it's a "professional platform."

Translation: Please, only post things that make you sound like a management textbook with a pulse.

You know the type. "𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀-𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁."

Meanwhile, I'm over here sharing stories about my kids, my first epic fail as a rookie entrepreneur, or that time I got stuck at a conference in a branded polo two sizes too small.

Doesn't fit the executive mold? 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥.

Because here's what years in corporate sales, boardrooms, and Houston BBQ lines have taught me, 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙮 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬, 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩!!!

They remember the person who helped them fix a last-minute apparel order, not the one who attached a PDF of "corporate solutions." 

They remember the handshake, the joke, the small talk about Astros baseball, the human moments.

I've lost count of how many deals started with someone saying, "𝘚𝘢𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘳'𝘴 𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵. 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦!" Or, "𝘏𝘦𝘺, 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳. 𝘓𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴."

Not once has a deal started with, "𝙒𝙤𝙬, 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙢 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙜𝙢 𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙛𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨."

I get it. 

LinkedIn wants us to be polished. 

But honestly, the most memorable people aren't the ones quoting leadership gurus or posting humblebrags with inspirational stock photos.

They're the ones who show up as themselves. 

Messy, genuine, sometimes funny, 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭.

So when you see me sharing about spilled coffee in the showroom or why our branded jackets double as toddler-proof shields, understand: that's not me straying from "professionalism." 

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝗦 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱.

Want to stand out in Oil & Gas, Energy, or Construction? 

Want people to remember your business when it's time for custom workwear or swag? 

Give them a person to connect with, not just a logo.

𝘞𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩.

If you're tired of reading posts that sound like they were written by a bot stuck in 2009, you're not alone. 

There's room for more humor, honesty, and humanity here.

Let's make LinkedIn less about buzzwords, and more about people we actually want to do business with. 

If you think this is just a glorified business card exchange... let's agree to disagree and 𝙢𝙖𝙮𝙗𝙚 𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙭𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙣𝙞𝙘.

Here's to the real ones. 

The people behind the profiles. 

The reason business gets done.

I once tried to win over a Houston construction company with a creative approach.

We'd been reaching out for weeks, 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. 

Calls, emails, you name it, nothing stuck.

So, I decided to send a box of custom-branded cupcakes to their office. 🧁

Each cupcake had their logo on it, along with our company colors. 

I figured, at least it would stand out from another email.

But Houston's summer had other plans. 🔥

By the time the cupcakes arrived, the icing had half-melted. 

𝙄𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙥, 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙤𝙨, 𝙞𝙩 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙗𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜. 

I debated whether to follow up at all, convinced I'd just embarrassed our team.

But then the office manager called me directly.

She laughed and said, "We had a good laugh in the break room. It was a nice surprise, even if the cupcakes turned out...unique."

𝘈 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘸𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨. 

No hard sell needed, the ice (or icing) was already broken. 🧊

Being memorable doesn't always mean being perfect. 

Sometimes, the things that go a little sideways actually get you noticed.

𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽. 

What cuts through isn't the slickest presentation. 

It's the human moments, the attempts to do something genuine, 

𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘶𝘱.

And in the Houston business scene, people remember effort and authenticity more than anything. 

We still joke about those cupcakes years later. 😅

Since then, I've taken the same approach with branded workwear and promo products. 

Custom, thoughtful, a little bold, and sure, sometimes a little risky.

The story sticks. 

The gesture stands out. 

And the next conversation isn't so stiff.

𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁. 

Real beats perfect every time.

Lean into humor if things go wrong. 

People appreciate authenticity.

Creativity shows you care enough to try something different, 

and that gets remembered.

If you want to make an impression, on clients, prospects, even your own team, don't be afraid to show some personality. ✨

Do you have a story where things didn't go as planned, but it somehow worked out for the better?

A couple of days ago, someone I met in person for the first time said, 

"Wait, you have almost 7,000 followers on LinkedIn ?" 

I laughed. 

To be clear, seven thousand is not exactly TikTok influencer status. 

I don't have teenagers lining up for selfies at the Jordan Ranch H-E-B. 

But for a business platform? 

That's a crowd. 

A real, authentic crowd. 

I started posting awkward thoughts about branded workwear and the weird things that happen when your life goes from corporate to full-on entrepreneur. 

Lots of personal things. About my kids and family life too.

Why?

Because even though this is a professional platform, we are all humans after all.

That's it. No secret formulas.

Eighteen months ago, I opened LinkedIn, stared at that blank box, and wondered if a post about safety vests would send me straight to digital purgatory. 🦺

Some of my first posts got three likes. 

One of those was my brother-in-law. Thanks Calvin Powell !!! Fam foreva!!!

I kept showing up, even when my stuff felt about as compelling as a list of OSHA regulations. (𝗡𝗼 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆. 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀. 𝗜 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗲 "𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲" 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝗻.)

Fast forward 📽️: 

750 qualified leads. That's not a typo. Real people. Real projects. All from the services tab that most people ignore. 

Thirty-five podcast episodes. Did I know how to host a podcast? 

Absolutely not. Did I just put myself out there and run with it?

Yup. And I encourage you to do the same.

Invites to speak at conferences where people actually stayed in their seats. 

A weekly branding column for the OGGN newsletter with over 50,000 subscribers.

Two board seats, which sounds way fancier than it is. I still eat lunch at my desk. 🥪

You know what matters more than all of that? 

Last week, three different people told me they keep coming back to my posts because I don't try to sound impressive. 

They said, "You're honest, and you actually sound like a human." 

Not "super professional." Not "influencer material." 

Just... real.

Most LinkedIn feeds look like a highlight parade. 

Everyone's winning awards, closing deals, running marathons, volunteering, and solving world hunger, before breakfast. 

If that's the standard, I'm underqualified for my own posts.

Real brand building isn't about highlight reels. 

It's sharing what happens when your branded polos show up two sizes too small, or the time you realized your supplier printed your company logo upside down (again). 

It's about the pivots, the panic, and the punchlines. ☠️

This is what still gets me.....everytime. 

By the time I walk into a first meeting, half the room already knows me, funny faces, bad coffee habits, and all. 

That's the ROI.

If you want trust, try being yourself.

I want to hear your real, messy, behind-the-scenes story.

Promise I won't call your brother-in-law for a pity like.

People in sales fool themselves.

They move fast. 

They blast out messages. 

They flood LinkedIn. 

They act like it's a numbers game.

Spray and pray. 

Hope something lands. 

If you hustle enough, someone will bite, right?

Wrong.

I learned early there are two types of salespeople.

First, the shotgun crowd. 

They try to hit everything at once. 

Cold emails by the dozen. 

Calls all day. 

Generic pitches with zero personality. 

Their activity numbers look good. 

But deals? 

They vanish as fast as they came.

The shotgun feels safe. 

It hides you from rejection. 

It lets you blame the process instead of yourself. 

But it never builds real relationships.

Then there's the rifle approach. 

This is rare.

You pick your target. 

You slow down. 

You focus.

I had a mentor who was the best I've ever seen. 

He'd walk into a meeting and barely say a word at first. 

Instead, he listened. 

He asked real questions, the kind that make people stop and really think. 

Not "What's your budget?" or "When do you need this?" 

He'd ask, "What keeps you up at night?" 

Or "What's the biggest risk if this fails?" 

He wanted to understand their world as well as they did. 

He ignored the shiny opportunities. 

He chased the ones that actually mattered.

Here's what happened. 

He built solutions around real needs. 

The clients stuck with him. 

They didn't want just a vendor. 

They wanted him in the room when things got tough.

He never chased quick wins. 

He aimed for real partnership.

That changed how I work.

Anyone can sell once. 

That's easy. 

The real test is this: When the stakes are high and trust is on the line, do they call you first? 

Or do they scroll past your number?

Most pick the shotgun. 

It's busy. 

It's loud. 

But busy doesn't build loyalty.

The rifle is quieter. 

Requires patience. 

But when you finally pull the trigger, it hits. 

And more often than not, you're the only one clients want to hear from.

I get why the shotgun feels tempting. 

We all have quotas. 

We all want activity. 

But nobody remembers you for the hundredth email you sent them with "Just checking in" as the subject line.

They remember the person who got it right the first time. 

Or the one who showed up when nobody else did.

You can keep playing the volume game. 

But if you want to stand out, slow down. 

Pick your spot. 

Listen harder. 

Get curious.

Stop pitching. 

Start solving.

Stop chasing. 

Start building.

Next time you think about firing off another round of generic messages, ask yourself: 

Do you want a client, or do you want trust? 

Do you want a transaction, or do you want to be the first call when it really matters?

I know my answer.

Which one are you?

Golf tournaments for charity have become a reliable part of our community calendar.

You wake up early, head over to the course, and spend a relaxing day outdoors.

There's the familiar rhythm to the event.

Shake some hands. 

Try a few practice swings.

Catch up with familiar faces. 

Maybe enjoy a breakfast taco and a cup of coffee before tee time. 🌮

Tradition matters. 

People appreciate the chance to slow down for a moment and give back, even if it's just for an afternoon.

But is that all there is? 

Golf for Good by Redeemed steps onto the scene with a fresh approach, but the heart of it is still about community, collective effort, and simple acts of generosity.

Your presence helps raise awareness for tough issues like human trafficking, and even small contributions can mean a real difference for the survivors and organizations fighting on the front lines.

During these tournaments, I've seen conversations start between strangers that lead to real collaborations. 

Support grows in ways we can't always predict.

A business card exchanged over lunch might become a partnership that allows a nonprofit to expand their services.

A sponsorship dollar might cover more than the cost of the event, helping with safe housing, therapy, or legal aid for someone who needs it most.

What stands out to me year after year is how many leaders and companies find ways to keep supporting long after the last hole is played.

Friendships begin on the fairway. 

Ideas get shared in passing. 

Sometimes these little moments lead to new initiatives, bigger donations, or projects that no one planned when they woke up that morning.

Golf for Good isn't just a fundraiser, it's a reflection of what happens when business leaders, entrepreneurs, and community members come together with a common purpose.

The trophies and prizes are a nice bonus, but the spirit of the event lives in the connections and the shared sense of mission.

You don't have to be a golf pro, a major donor, or a nonprofit expert to make a difference.

You simply have to show up, listen, and add your name to a long list of people willing to help.

If you're in Houston, if you care about making an impact, or you're just looking for a way to get involved, this is an open invitation.

Bring your coworkers, your clients, your friends. 

Bring your questions, your curiosity, and your willingness to play for a cause that matters.

The best outcomes come from showing up together.

Join us on the course. 

You'll go home with more than a scorecard. 

You'll walk away knowing you helped set real change in motion, one swing at a time.

Most sales demos fall flat for one reason.

They're about the product, not the person.

I've seen it too often. 

The salesperson rushes through slides. 

They show every feature. 

The prospect tunes out. 

Then comes the dreaded "Let me think about it."

I used to make the same mistake. 

I thought more was better. 

More features. 

More data. 

More talking. 

But more isn't better. 

It's just... more.

So, I changed everything about how I run demos. 

Here's what actually moves the needle:

Pause more than you think you should. 

Silence feels awkward at first. 

But in those quiet moments, people open up. 

They share their real concerns.

Listen for debate. 

If your prospects start talking to each other, stop talking. 

Let them work it out. 

This is where the gold is. 

They're telling you what matters most.

Before you end the call, recommend the next action. 

Put it on the calendar. If you don't, momentum dies. 

Deals fade away.

Leave out the features that don't help. 

More info doesn't persuade. 

It overwhelms. 

Stick to what solves their pain.

Read the room. 

Know when to stop selling. 

Too much talk kills trust. 

Sometimes, less is more.

Repeat what they told you. 

Say: "Earlier, you mentioned..." 

This shows you're listening. 

People want to feel heard.

Talk in their words, not yours. 

Drop the jargon. 

Speak plain and clear. 

The simpler, the better.

Share a quick story of a similar customer. 

Show how they got results. 

People picture themselves in the win.

Ask for feedback during the demo. 

Not at the end. 

"Is this on track?" or "Am I hitting on what matters to you?" 

Adjust in real time.

If you get off track, admit it. 

Say, "Let me get back to what matters." 

Honesty builds trust. 

Prospects can tell when you're authentic.

After the demo, follow up with a recap. 

Summarize their goals and the steps you discussed. 

This keeps everyone aligned.

Invite questions. 

The uncomfortable ones are the best. 

That's where objections hide. 

Handle them with confidence, not fear.

If you don't know the answer, say so. 

Promise to follow up. 

Then deliver. 

Reliability beats a perfect pitch.

Sales demos aren't about being perfect. 

They're about being real. 

Show you care more about their problem than your product.

I've closed more deals doing less talking and more listening. 

I've built better relationships by making the customer the hero.

Want stronger demos? 

Flip the script. 

Stop selling features. 

Start selling outcomes.

What demo mistake do you see most? 

What tactic actually works in your world? 

Let's swap stories below.

What's it really like to watch a whole industry transform, one algorithm at a time?

I sat down with Jacob Vizinat at the Cognite User Forum for the Oil and Gas Global Network

If you haven't met Jacob, he's the founder of Iron Stag Advisory.

And someone who knows digital transformation in oil and gas from the inside out.

Jacob's career has taken him from hands-on roles in tech to high-level advising. 

That blend makes his perspective a rare find.

So, what did we talk about?

First, the elephant in every oil and gas boardroom: AI.

Jacob broke down exactly what's changing. 

AI isn't some shiny tool on a shelf anymore. 

It's showing up on rigs and in control rooms. 

Operations teams aren't just experimenting. 

They're seeing measurable impacts. 

Downtime is dropping. 

Predictive maintenance is gaining ground. 

There are fewer "Hail Mary" guesses and more data-driven decisions.

I asked Jacob a simple question:

"What's the most surprising human reaction you've seen to AI?"

He didn't hesitate. 

Some folks fear the unknown. 

Others are skeptical. 

Many, though, are starting to trust the data when they see it deliver results. 

It's a shift, but it's happening.

And that shift doesn't come easy. 

It takes more than good tech.

Jacob hammered home one foundational truth: 

None of it works without quality data. 

You can have the flashiest AI tools, but if your data is a mess, your results will be, too. 

Data integrity isn't the "fun" part of digital transformation. 

It's the heavy lifting that makes success possible. 

He compared it to building on solid ground versus quicksand.

Then, we looked forward. 

What's next for AI in oil and gas? 

Jacob thinks physics-informed neural networks are a big piece of the puzzle.

Sounds complex, but here's the gist: 

These networks combine the precision of data with deep knowledge of the real-world systems they manage. 

It's not just about crunching numbers. 

It's about understanding the forces at play underground, on the rig, across the supply chain.

Why does this matter, right now, in 2024?

Because the rules are changing fast. 

Competitive advantage is shifting. 

Real-time insight, delivered by AI, puts new players on the map and keeps legacy operators nimble. 

As we wrapped up, I could see how much opportunity and challenge sits in that gap between technology hype and operational reality. 

Some leaders are straddling it well. 

Some aren't. 

It comes down to this:

The winners in oil and gas tech aren't the ones loudest about AI. 

They're the ones quietly building the right foundation. 

Step by step. 

Data set by data set.

One conversation with Jacob, and it's clear: 

Success is less about flashy innovation, more about disciplined execution.

Because in this industry, it's not the talkers who win. It's the doers.

Let's clear up a dangerous myth about human trafficking.

Most people think trafficking victims are always moved across borders. 

They picture secret vans, fake passports, and long-distance travel. 

Movies and TV shows get this wrong, too.

But here's the truth.

Human trafficking does not require moving anyone anywhere. 

You don't have to cross a border or even leave your own town. 

Exploiters can commit this crime without anyone ever leaving home.

Victims can be trafficked in their own neighborhoods. 

In their schools, workplaces, or even at home. 

Sometimes, it's someone they know. 

A family member. 

A neighbor. 

A friend. 

Or even a romantic partner.

The heart of this crime is exploitation, not transportation.

Traffickers use force, fraud, or coercion to control victims. 

They make people do things against their will. 

Victims may be forced to work without pay. 

Or pressured into commercial acts. 

They may have their documents taken. 

Or be threatened with violence to keep them silent.

And all of this can happen right next door. 

It's not just a big city problem. 

It's not just an "overseas" problem. 

It's happening in small towns, suburbs, and cities in the U.S.

You might ask, 

Why is this myth so dangerous?

Because it blinds us to reality. 

If we only look for trafficking victims who have crossed borders, 

We miss the warning signs happening in our own communities. 

We tune out when friends need help. 

We overlook cries for support because we're looking for some "movie version" of this crime.

Awareness starts with knowing the facts.

Human trafficking is about exploitation, not movement.

Anyone can be a victim.

Anyone can be an exploiter.

It happens everywhere, in every state, in every neighborhood.

What can you do?

First, drop the old myths. 

Second, learn the signs of exploitation. 

Isolation. 

Sudden behavior changes. 

Unexplained absences. 

Signs of fear or control from someone else.

And speak up if something doesn't feel right. 

You don't need all the answers to help someone. 

You just need to care enough to act.

Share this message. 

The more people know the facts, the closer we get to ending human trafficking, everywhere. 

Not just at the borders.

Some stories are bigger than business.

Venessa Homewood and I recently recorded an Oil and Gas Global Network Special Feature, and let’s just say...this one’s a fave.

We spent a weekend at Redfish Lodge on Copano Bay with long time manager, Brian Holden.

He told us how Redfish Lodge was built from the ground up, only to be completely destroyed when Hurricane Harvey hit. 

𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥. 

Instead, the story took a turn. 

The community rallied. 

They rebuilt, board by board, memory by memory. 

Today, the lodge stands stronger than ever, full of the same fishing tales, legendary sunsets, and a new sense of pride.

What is even more exciting is the plans for the future development of the Lodge, adding a larger hotel space and community.

We filmed, we listened, and yes...we fished. 🎣 (Venessa was way more competitive than she let on.) 

There were tropical drinks on the deck, a few wild stories, and food that’ll make you want to come back just for Chef Esteban.

I won’t spoil whether or not we caught the big one. 

But I can say this: 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙤𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙊𝙂𝙂𝙉 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙁𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚.

If you want a look at the resilience, spirit, and humor that keeps our industry moving and maybe a couple of surprises along the way...make sure to watch.

Every January, we hear about transformation. 

New routines. Big goals. Fresh starts. 

But once the momentum of the holiday's fades, reality usually feels a lot more... familiar.

If I'm being honest, my transition back into work mode isn't packed with magic or dramatic resolutions.

For example, my loyal "footwarmer." 

No matter how ambitious my task list becomes, my dog takes up her usual spot under my desk. 

There's nothing quite like the quiet confidence of a four-legged coworker claiming your feet as a pillow, reminding you that not everything has to change just because the year has.

Coffee helps too. ☕

So does a quick walk in the cool Houston air, even if it's just to stretch my legs and reset my head between back-to-back calls. 

These tiny habits aren't glamorous, but they keep me grounded and ready for whatever the week throws my way.

If you're in the Oil & Gas, Energy or Construction world, you know routines matter. 

Whether it's starting the day with a safety huddle or slipping into branded workwear that signals "game on," those rituals make all the difference. 

I've learned that consistency, at home and at work, is what really fuels progress, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆.

Here's my take, don't underestimate the power of your favorite mug, a loyal dog at your feet, or that first phone call to a client you genuinely enjoy working with. 🐕

If you've found comfort (and productivity) in small routines or furry coworkers, I'd love to hear about it.

Is it all fresh starts, or are you leaning on those tried-and-true rituals that get you through?

Drop your favorite New Year "secret weapon" below. 

I guarantee someone else will relate, and maybe even steal your idea for their own routine.

A first-generation Latina looking to make a positive change in the world. One voice at-a-time. One story at-a-time. One connection at-at-time.  Based in Houston, Raquel has dedicated herself to healthcare advocacy and healthcare education for the last 12 years. 

Having a multi-lingual background, she has been able to expand her reach by educating different neighborhood groups around the Houston area. Through her efforts, many members of the communities who otherwise would go without proper health care have benefitted from her advocacy and received health services.  Her efforts have decreased the high percentage of members who go without basic health needs. 

She works directly with state, city, county, and other local officials to educate communities on important health topics. Raquel is also involved in active research in partnership with various entities such as her world-renowned alma mater Texas A&M University, BakerRipley, and the City of Houston.  This active research aims to identify the external environmental factors which may cause physical stressors on the elderly when participating in physical activities within their communities. Based on the results of the research, enhancements will be made to improve the neighborhood surroundings to be more age-friendly. 

Raquel possesses excellent leadership skills and is looking forward to building a coachable team that will increase the reach potential thus expanding the efforts of her "Mission with a vision". She looks forward to empowering women and contribute globally to spread her message of love and kindness to the world.

Raquel has called Houston her home for the last 30 years. She is a sports enthusiast and labels herself "gung-ho" about all things "Aggies".  Avid salsa dancer. Foodie. Lives with her furbabies and children. Enjoys the beach and quality time exploring the city and seeking adventures. Raquel is currently working on publishing her book and looks forward to sharing her life journey through speaking engagements.

As a Social Media Director at Brilliant Beam Media, my days are fueled by crafting strategies that not only captivate but also drive results for both B2B and B2C ventures. Fluent in Spanish-speaking and Spanish to English translation, I've had the privilege of bridging cultural gaps and amplifying brand voices across diverse audiences.

Beyond the boardroom, I wear the badges of a Walking Tall Movement Ambassador and a proud member of The Outlier Project with immense pride. These roles aren't just titles; they're opportunities to pay it forward. My heart beats for empowering fellow Latino entrepreneurs, especially the resilient women who navigate through cultural and personal barriers with grace and grit.

Through the intimate avenues of my podcast, coaching sessions, and the pages of my soon-to-be-released book, "Culture Clash," I don't just share stories—I share journeys. My own journey from the tumultuous streets of El Salvador to the corridors of opportunity in the United States serves as a beacon of hope. But more importantly, it's a roadmap for those who dare to dream, guiding them from the realm of possibility to the realm of action.

My mission is simple yet profound: to give voice to the voiceless, to provide platforms for the overlooked, and to equip aspiring entrepreneurs with the tools they need to thrive. And as we continue on this transformative journey together, let's not forget the power of community. On LinkedIn, I've cultivated not just connections but a family—a tribe of diverse souls united by shared dreams and mutual support.

Join me, not just as a spectator, but as a fellow architect of change. Together, let's shatter barriers, rewrite narratives, and pave the way for a future where every dream is not just realized but celebrated.
