Snippets from the Episode
- The real power is gonna come when you can take an AI and have it retrieve and combine information from your brokerage land system with your in-house system and your well files and lease analysis and all those things. When it can marry all that seamlessly, that's when you're gonna really see the power, and when you can prompt it accordingly. -Brent
- Team building is not about the trust falls; it's about understanding what your strengths and weaknesses are, being able to read what other people's strengths and weaknesses are, and how to communicate with those people. How do you take ownership as a project manager to ensure that every time you fire up something new, it's not a new experience, right? It's just a new scenario, and you're applying those tactics. -Brent
- How do you elevate your team? Sometimes, elevating your team is delegating and letting go of some of the things that you're doing that you're not doing as well as you should be. -Brent
