On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Troy Eckard, a 40-year oil and gas industry veteran and the driving force behind Eckard Enterprises. With over $1.3 billion in assets and $210 million distributed to investors, Troy breaks down the current landscape of oil and gas investing—highlighting how the space has shifted from wild speculation to a more data-driven, transparent model. They tackle everything from the political and economic chaos in the U.S. to the mechanics of working interest vs. mineral rights, and why high-income earners—like dentists—are uniquely positioned to benefit from oil and gas investments. Troy also unpacks the powerful tax advantages, long-term cash flow potential, and how to avoid common pitfalls in the industry. This is an unfiltered, honest look at what's real—and what's risky—in alternative investing.
