Brent Franklin: The Real Landman

from The Better Way · host The Better Way Podcast

I flew out to Houston to give my dog Brent Franklin his flowers. Three years ago we were out hunting while he told me what he wanted to build. Now I'm sitting in his 10,000 sq ft office watching him actually do it.Brent went from the Navy to a drilling rig in West Texas to running Rise Capital Group, and in this one he breaks down oil and gas like nobody else will - the real pay on the rigs (it's not what Instagram tells you), why oil and gas is one of the only places you can write off up to 100% against active income, and exactly how mineral rights, leasing, and working interests actually work. We get into accredited investing, securities law, the difference between a syndication and a fund, and the micro-syndication model behind his Energy Flex Fund. Then the fun stuff: the jet, the Bitcoin mining rigs running off stranded gas, and rolling up blue-collar oil service companies.If you've got money burning a hole in your pocket and you keep hearing "oil and gas" without understanding it, this is your masterclass. Not financial advice - do your own diligence, check sec.gov, and remember: you can lose all your money.Learn more: risecapitalgroup.com / energyflexfund.comAs always - there's always a better way.
