When big oil players like @shell and @ExxonMobil start making merger moves, it’s time to pay attention. This episode of The Crownsmen Show, powered by Crownsmen Partners, breaks down the Shell–BP merger talk, what it means for the global energy sector, and how companies should evaluate opportunities during volatile times. Rory Bamford brings the numbers, questioning BP’s valuation and leadership—while comparing it to Shell’s latest strategy.

Jerrod Downey takes a deep dive into wastewater—how Teck’s Highland Valley Copper recycles over 280% of its water, and how that compares to global cities like Tokyo, New York, and Metro Vancouver. He also gets personal about failed international sales, broken messaging, and how simple appreciation can transform team performance. Roy Slack shifts the conversation with a candid take on rejection in business, inspired by Bill Burr’s “No Means No” bit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k0ZMPGFh9w), and shares how rejection in contracting can still be a long-term win.
