Inspired by Energy Transfer’s recent “That’s Gas!” commercial—where a narrator pops up in everyday situations to inform unsuspecting folks that the products they’re using are made with natural gas—Episode 112 of The Energy Detox challenges you to spot everyday examples of leadership and say (to yourself or others), “That’s leadership!”

Most meetings? Unremarkable.
Most resumes? Forgettable.
Most leaders? Replaceable.
Most LinkedIn posts? Unbearable.
Agree?
Then check out this Arbor Day episode of The Energy Detox that challenges you to follow the path of differentiated energy leaders who stand out in a forest of mediocre managers by continually asking:
"How can we make this the best ____________ ever?"
Energy is at the core of developed societies.
Feedback is at the core of developed leaders.
Those two core truths converge on Route 50 in Avella, PA, site of Episode 110 of The Energy Detox podcast, which draws on:
1) The 50-50-50 Energy Corps vision announced by EQT’s Toby Rice and Dr. Scott Tinker last month at CERAWeek—50 MWh and $50K GDP per capita within 50 years to lift people out of energy poverty ...

In what ways are you or your team unwittingly polishing a cannonball?
To help you answer that question, check out Episode 108 of The Energy Detox, recorded outside Pittsburgh's PNC park, home of the Polish Cannonball (a new food item introduced for the 2025 season) and home to a 14-foot bronze statue of Bill Mazeroski, the Polish-American Pirate who launched a cannonball that won the 1960 World Series.

"Strive for mediocrity" probably isn't the advice you want your company's mentors giving to new hires.
But without a proper understanding of mentorship, your mentors may—wittingly or unwittingly—be setting future talent up for years of apathy and mediocrity.
So, take a moment during the final few days of National Mentoring Month to check out this mentor-inspired episode of The Energy Detox, whi...
Notre Dame hasn’t beaten Ohio State since 1936!
But ND did score a big victory over OSU in a 1960s recruiting battle that not only brought All-American receiver Thom Gatewood to South Bend, but also turned Thom into an enthusiastic Notre Dame advocate that helped attract future talent to the university.
That being said, Gatewood's story isn't just a nice footnote in the lead-up to Monday's national ...
The second Friday of each new year is Quitters Day.
And there is no better way to mark the occasion than by consciously quitting (qWitting) poor leadership habits that are holding you and your team back from long-term success.
Look up, step out from your echo chamber, challenge your assumptions, don't limit your giving to the holiday (and mandatory performance appraisal) season, and tune in to episode 102 of The Energy Detox podcast.
Are people REALLY altering their Thanksgiving plans due to politics?
Regardless of the answer, Episode 101 of The Energy Detox translates lessons from the 2024 election into 9 apolitical questions you can use to avoid the "peaceful silence" that may be damaging your reputation, your team, and your organization.
Celebrate Election Detoxification Day with Episode 100 of The Energy Detox podcast, which lays out two tools that can help you better manage the toxicity faced by oil & gas leaders (...or pretty much anyone subjected to the last several months of election-related toxicity).
#ConsciousLeadership
Are oil & gas workers "fearless" or simply desensitized by constant employer & industry surprises?
Are fear-focused campaign ads (and fear-focused management styles) a sign of desperation?
Are Marcellus-based external affairs teams the ideal model of how industry leaders can address fears and division among their internal stakeholders?
To answer these questions, check out this #Halloween...
Range Resources and Weird Al Yankovic have at least two things in common:
💡 On October 23, 2024, Range Resources celebrates the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking Marcellus frac, and the world celebrates the 65th birthday of Weird Al Yankovic.
💡 Both Range and Weird Al are undoubtedly pioneers—although some might question those claims. [See "Range Resources Responds To Magnum Hunter’s Marcellus Claim" from Hart Ener...
This company pioneered the Marcellus with its frac of the Renz #1 well in October 2004.
What is Range Resources?
To honor 20 years of shale development that helped save Western PA from economic jeopardy, this Jeopardy!-inspired episode of The Energy Detox asks 20 questions that 1) highlight the story of the first Marcellus frac, and 2) provide practical ways to unleash the full potential of your stakeholders.
Just because you work in a roller-coaster-esque industry doesn’t mean your leadership style needs to be filled with twists and turns and surprises.
So, take a few minutes to be inspired by the odd sight of a Ferris wheel in the middle of a bridge and ask yourself these three questions:
💡 Do you lead others with the consistency, reliability, and predictability of a Ferris wheel or the dramatic, uncertain, and pote...
When you hear the name Expand Energy, what's the first thing that comes to mind?
A) "If you're talking about the company HQ'd in OKC, then I'll always call them Chesapeake."
B) "They're the largest natural gas producer."
C) "That's Aubrey McClendon's company."
D) "Didn't they rise from massive debt and bankruptcy to dominance like some k...
What can we do to create a Natural Gas epidemic?
What small steps can we take to boost the stickiness of our industry's message?
And how can you—as an individual leader—overcome the natural immunity of your stakeholders so that they infect countless others with knowledge of the differentiated value you generate?
Inspired by the Marcellus Shale Coalition's SHALE INSIGHT® 2024 conference, 400 bottles of maple syrup, and Malcol...
Did you know that maple syrup inspired the first commercial natural gas well drilled in the world? [Note: While some point to the Fredonia, NY gas well of the 1820s as the “first commercial natural gas well,” it was actually dug by hand—not drilled. Moreover, the Fredonia well did not produce gas at the scale, volume, or pressure necessary for long-distance transport.]
Did you know that the Haymaker brothers who drilled the well wer...
