    • Ep. #45 - Renee Hastings - Transforming Business with Virtual Assistants
      Dec 19 2025

      Send us a text

      In this episode of The Crude Cast, Travis sits down with Renee Hastings, President and CEO of Executive Help Now, to talk about delegation, leadership, and why no successful business is built alone.

      With 30 years of entrepreneurial experience and a background supporting senior-level executives, Renee explains how leaders get trapped doing work that doesn’t move the needle—and how the right executive support restores focus, productivity, and work-life balance.

      This conversation covers:

      • When executives should bring on help (earlier than most think)
      • Why delegation is hard—and how to overcome perfectionism and control
      • What a strategic executive assistant actually does
      • Leadership lessons from Dale Carnegie

      This episode is especially relevant for business owners and leaders in oil & gas and other high-demand industries who feel overloaded but know they can’t scale alone.

    • Ep. #43 - James Kell with Scratchie: Rethinking Motivation with Self Determination Theory
      Oct 4 2025

      ☝️ 📩 Have Oil and Gas Questions? Text the show!

      In this episode of The Crude Cast, Travis sits down with James Kell—carpenter turned entrepreneur—to explore how motivation, recognition, and psychology can reshape safety and productivity across industries. Drawing on his journey from construction to building Scratchie, James introduces listeners to Self-Determination Theory—the idea that autonomy, competence, and relatedness drive people to thrive. Together, they discuss why behavior-based safety often falls short, how small acts of recognition spark big changes, and how organizations like McDonald’s and oilfield operators alike are applying these insights to create safer, more connected workplaces. Whether you’re in oil and gas, construction, or any field where safety and culture matter, this episode offers a fresh take on building engaged, high-performing teams.
