Presentation Title: The successful failures of a 25-year geologist: How my biggest failures led to my greatest accomplishments

 My journey from Wyoming, where my grandfather encouraged me not to become a geologist, to starting my career during layoffs in the late 1990s, to finding my biggest discovery after my costliest dry hole.  Later, after getting into the high-stakes private equity game, I was forced to shift tactics again, creating Western Underground Exploration, LLC.  Today, my largest client heard me speak about my costliest dry hole and hired me once I went out on my own.  Every step of the way, my biggest failures have led to my greatest accomplishments.
