Ep015 – Justin Eckhardt and Ms. Monica Cervantes

Justin is trying to get started in the Oilfield… he reached out to Dan Morrison for advice (good choice) who put Justin in touch with Oilfield Talk for an interview.

After the interview, I connected Justin and Ms. Monica for further Environmental industry advice… sounds like they have a plan for Justin, after he graduates college.

Justin’s episode is rather short, so I added Ms. Monica’s interview from Episode 007… because hers is a very special and inspirational story.
