#182: The Edge - Mark Edge

This episode's guest is a special one, my business partner and co-founder of Ancova, Mark Edge. I'd been twisting Mark's arm to come on the podcast for 2 years, and he finally made an appearance!
Mark and I founded the company almost 9 years ago, and prior to that we worked together at Chesapeake Energy. So for the better part of the last 12 years he has been a mentor and influential person in my life and career.
This episode we recap Mark's career and he tells stories of his time at CHK and the ups and downs of the oil and gas industry. We talk about entrepreneurship and the challenges we've faced, as well as the good fortune we've had to make a living in this volatile business.
We talk about the challenges of scaling a business, the failures and successes, working with great people, and how lucky we have been to get to work in a niche segment in one of the greatest industries in the world, oil and gas.
Hope you enjoy the show!
