Episode notes

Trent and Tyler Leon are the Co-Founders of Tilden Capital. Today, their business, Tilden Capital, has deployed billions of dollars into oil & gas minerals, royalties, and non-operated positions across the Permian and other domestic basins.

We talk about growing up in a golf-obsessed family, attending IMG Academy, and competing at the highest levels of amateur and professional golf—then making the decision to walk away and start something new.

We also cover:

- What they learned from life on the road as pro golfers

- How and when they knew it was time to pivot into business

- Early lessons from starting an oil and gas company from scratch

- The current outlook on the Permian Basin and broader energy trends

- How they build conviction around long-term bets and stay optimistic

- What it’s like working together as brothers and business partners

You’re in for a wide-ranging conversation about life, business, and the journey from competitive sports to entrepreneurship.
