When a bank like JPMorgan starts talking about systemic failure, I pay attention.

If the Strait stays closed long enough, this stops being a story about oil prices spiking and turns into a story about the system itself not having enough oil moving through it.

That’s what makes energy markets so fragile.

People think this stuff is just about a headline or a temporary price move, but one disruption in the wrong place can create consequences way bigger than most people realize.

People joke that nobody knows where oil prices are going.

And that’s true.

But one thing I do know is this: energy markets are a lot more fragile than most people realize.

One missile, one bad headline, one geopolitical event in the wrong place, and suddenly the entire conversation changes.

Oil moves, risk changes, and fund economics can look completely different overnight.

That’s why I pay so much attention to geopolitics in this business.

05/28/2026

There are no easy options here.

If the U.S. walks away, Iran has basically shown it can threaten one of the most important oil chokepoints in the world; and if things escalate, that opens the door to an even bigger geopolitical and energy problem.

That’s why I keep saying this isn’t just about politics, it’s about oil flow, market stability, and how one move in the Strait of Hormuz can send shockwaves through the entire energy system.

This is exactly why I pay so much attention to geopolitics in the oil and gas business.

This isn’t just a course, It’s a system.

The goal isn’t to just teach people what mineral rights are… It’s to turn them into deal finders.

They come in, learn the fundamentals, understand how deals actually work, and then plug into the ecosystem.

And here’s where it gets interesting:
👉 They get access to real lists
👉 Real pricing
👉 Real opportunities

Now instead of one person sourcing deals…You’ve got 20, 50, 100 people out there working.

All aligned.
All incentivized.
All looking for the same thing.

That’s how you scale in this business.

Not by doing more yourself, but by building a network that multiplies your reach.

That’s the vision.

There are no days off.

That’s the part nobody really tells you about working for yourself…
It doesn’t shut off at 5pm, it doesn’t wait until Monday...

It’s always there.
Problems to solve, people depending on you, decisions that can’t be ignored etc.

But here’s the difference: You don’t mind it the same way.

Because it’s yours.
👉 Your business
👉 Your outcomes
👉 Your responsibility

And when you have a team… It goes even deeper.

If they’re struggling, you step in, if something breaks, you fix it.

Because no one is coming to save it. That’s the tradeoff.

More pressure, more responsibility…

But also, more control.

And for the right person… That’s worth everything.

Everyone in this business has an opinion on oil prices.
“$200 oil.”
“$50 oil.”
“Now’s the time to buy.”
“Now’s the time to sell.”

But here’s the reality most people don’t want to admit... There’s no real edge in predicting it.
Too many variables.
Too much noise.
Too much public and political pressure.
One headline can move the market.
One policy change can shift everything.

And if you’re making decisions based purely on where you think oil is going… You’re just guessing.

That’s why the smarter approach is different:
👉 Focus on assets, not predictions
👉 Underwrite deals that work across scenarios
👉 Don’t rely on being “right” about price

Because the guys who consistently win… Aren’t the best at predicting oil.

They’re the best at managing risk regardless of where it goes.

04/08/2026

The best deals don’t show up on a list, they show up before anyone knows they’re deals.

That’s the edge.
A company goes bankrupt…
An operator struggles…
A lease starts getting neglected…
And most people don’t even notice.

But the guys in the field do.
👉 They see what’s happening in real time
👉 They hear what’s going on before it’s public
👉 They know which assets might be coming available

And that information flows back to the office.

Now you’re not reacting, you’re getting ahead of it.
Pull the leases.
Check production.
Evaluate the upside.

By the time it hits the market, you already know if you want it.

That’s how you find deals before everyone else.
Not by searching harder… But by being closer to the source.

Everyone was chasing the same thing…

Full mineral packages.
Everything bundled together.

So Ben took a different route, he only wanted the well-bores.

Nothing else.

At the time, that was unusual.
Most sellers weren’t even being approached that way, so when they heard it, it caught their attention.
👉 “You can keep everything else”
👉 “We just want this piece”

It made deals easier to get done.
Less competition.
More flexibility.

A unique angle in a crowded market.
And then timing kicked in.
Oil prices dropped…
Markets shifted…

And what started as a niche idea turned into a real advantage.
That’s how a lot of winning strategies are built.
Not by doing what everyone else is doing, but by seeing an opportunity others overlook.

Most people chase the bigger paycheck... Rick did the opposite.

He took a pay cut…

Walked away from the “safe” path… And bet on something uncertain.

Why? Because it wasn’t about the money, it was about ownership, impact and building something with people he actually believed in.

That’s the trade most people don’t understand:
👉 Short-term income vs long-term upside
👉 Security vs opportunity

And here’s the part that made it possible... The team.
Rick didn’t do it alone, he surrounded himself with people who had already done it before... People who understood financing, scaling, and how to actually build a business.

That’s what gave the bet a real shot.

Because taking risk blindly is one thing… But taking risk with the right people?

That’s how you change your trajectory.
