Travis Boeker

I had Travis on the podcast and we just name dropped for an hour. Yeah, we talked a bunch of energy stuff - Halcon and the shale revolution, debt deals with Oak Tree, nuclear powering tech, hydrocarbons powering the developing world - but then we went through celebrity encounters - Justin Timberlake, Jeff Skilling, Michael Milken, Bret Michael, David Lee Roth. The only thing strange about this energy finance bro hash session was we weren’t wearing Pickering Energy vests. Click here to watch a video of this episode.
