Ep. 069: Pulling Appalachia Back from the Precipice

  Nick Deiuliis is a chemical engineer, attorney, and business executive. During a career spanning 30 years, he served as the CEO or Chairman of the Board of five public energy companies. During that time, Nick has been on the front lines of the war being waged by elites against working men and women of Appalachia, the "doers" of the American economy, and the free-thinking individual.     Nick is a lifelong Pittsburgher and considers himself a proud capitalist and free enterprise advocate. He joins Garrett today to discuss the city of Pittsburgh and its place among Appalachian cities, the energy industry's role in society and the future of the region, and Nick's book, Precipice: The Left's Campaign to Destroy America.   Nick shares about the thinkers who inspired his own personal philosophy and the path his career in the energy industry took. If you're wondering what Appalachians can do to build a brighter future and fight back against coastal elites, you'll want to listen to this episode of Forgotten America.   Learn more about Nick's work here.
