Ep #19 Dr. Dean Foreman, Chief Economist at American Petroleum Institute “The Petro Dollar Meets Covid”
Good morning!
I actually unplugged this weekend (well… mostly). Much needed recharge, hopefully you got some quality non-work time in as well!
So we’re going to stomp on the gas pedal to start you off right this week. We keep amping up the podcast with more brain calorie-burning stuff.
As the Chief Economist for the American Petroleum Institute, R. Dean Foreman, Ph.D., is one of the most knowledgeable economists in the world. He joins Jonathan and I to discuss the global oil supply chain, the petro dollar, and innovation in the oil and gas industry.
