Snippets from the Episode
- "You just can't beat the go-get-them attitude. That's what a landman is. They're the guys and gals that are going to drive out to the middle of nowhere or go somewhere that they've never been just to try to learn and take an opportunity. And if you put in the work, the opportunities keep coming." - Steve Virant
- "If you want to stay in this business, whether you're in-house or in the field, you just have to be open and never say no. You never know what the next opportunity is going to bring you." - Brent Broussard
- "As a kid, you always just want to explore and tinker with everything, and that's what you've got to keep going throughout your career. Otherwise, you'll get stagnant and it won't be fun. Once it's not fun, what's the point?" - Steve Virant
