I have had the privilege of having DRW on my daily show, and other podcast several times. He always brings his opinions, thoughts, and insights. While DRW is a controversial figure, I personally have enjoyed his opinions and industry insights. We do not always agree on topics, but we have great discussions. That is what our society needs is the ability for people to have discussions and learn from each other.
This episode is no different. We have a great time and cover the energy news, and even solve some of our society issues along the way. Being banned from social media several times is a badge of honor, especially when DRW was bringing up topics and points the media was trying to shut down, and later we find out he was right.
We talk about the geopolitical issues around Russia and we both agree that sanctions do not work, and hypocrisy abounds. The only people hurt in sanctions are the consumers, and why are we spending 40 billion dollars in Ukraine when we could use that money to harden our schools and keep our kids safe? I would add that we need to spend part of the money on mental health services to get at the root of the problem.
One thing you will find out is that DRW does not need talking point cheat sheets, he has the stats and facts. So, an interview without a teleprompter or a note telling him when to stand or sit is refreshing. Not sure that I would vote for him for president, but he would make a heck of a great U.S. Secretary of Energy.
DRW also let us know that he and Mike Umbro are the new Podcast hosts for Energy Strong! This is extremely cool, and as Sandstone Group we are proud to be an Energy Strong sponsor.
DRW is the author of #hotakeoftheday and we recommend following him on his Substack, LinkedIn and other social media platforms.
