Lessons from Building a $38 Billion Company
Manage episode 481067645 series 3441209
Petrohawk wasn’t just another company, it flipped the whole shale game on its head, and we’ve got the guys who lived it telling the real story. From throwing out the old playbook and betting big in the Haynesville and Eagle Ford, to building a culture where collaboration actually meant something, Dick Stoneburner and Steve Herod spill the good stuff, wild deals, big risks, and billion-dollar wins. They talk about navigating private equity, spotting opportunities no one else saw, and what today’s energy world looks like compared to the wild west days of the shale boom. Plus, they share what they wish they knew when they were just starting out. It's sharp, it’s honest, and yeah, it’s pretty damn entertaining.
