GND#41 John Pantazopoulos Walks Away From Oil To Drill Into Calgary City Hall

John Pantazopoulos, running for City of CalgaryCouncillor Ward 6 (my ward) is a former Top 40 Under 40 as given the nod in Avenue Magazine for Calgary Alberta. He is currently the CEO of Lucky Strike Energy, and has been behind several other Oil and Gas and Lithium start ups including E3 Metals which holds Canada's largest high-confidence lithium resource. So why does a guy who seemingly has it all want to walk away for the not-so-glorious City Halls of Calgary? Turns out the Blanket Rezoning recently imposed on YYC was the last straw for the astute entrepreneur.  We get into his gripes with the previous council, and what he looks to bring to the new council if elected, is his business savy from lives past which also includes being a CFO at Petroreef whre he was the youngest of all on the TSX Venture, and in addition as part of the executive leadership team, Pantazopoulos helped raise 180 million in equity capital for Tangle Creek.  We talk about safety, transit, fiscal responsibility and various other topics including my favorite, drilling wells! John has been pounding the pavement for 7 months and had a great head start on his opponents, and he has tracked every step, every conversation and every door missed, that was ear marked for a return visit. John is meticulous, methodical, analytical, well-spoken and charismatic. This guy is one sharp cookie, and I believe he's one to keep an eye on down the road in politics, and feel he'd be an excellent councillor for Ward 6! Who knows, this guy just might be Mayor potential. Time will Tell!
