Dryer vent cleaning.
https://www.dryerventwizard.com/
The Dryer Vent Wizard franchise system was founded in 2004 in the Boston area by David Lavalle, who also founded the Mr. Handyman franchise. The idea was born when Lavalle realized the need for a specialist for dryer vents. He had frequently encountered homeowners having dryer vent issues that required an urgent response, but who had no one to look to for service. The issues he commonly saw were the result of dryer vent lint accumulation, blockages, disrepair, or improper venting configurations.
With such a great need for dryer vent specialists, the franchise quickly expanded into a successful business specializing in dryer fire prevention and energy savings through vent cleaning, inspection, repair, and maintenance for residential and commercial properties. In 2009, Terry Reuer joined Dryer Vent Wizard, using her experience in operations, business ownership, and accounting to help continue growing the franchise. Reuer became a partner in 2011 and quickly stepped into the position of CEO in 2013, helping Dryer Vent Wizard increase its footprint through the addition of new locations and international expansion.
Dryer Vent Wizard has now grown across the United States and Canada with nearly 90 locally owned and operated franchise locations. These franchise locations, although independently operated, receive national support from our headquarters, located in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Dryer Vent Wizard is a member of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) with franchisees across the country working with local fire departments to help raise awareness on how to prevent dryer fires. Dryer Vent Wizard is ranked in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 List and was also listed as one of the Top Home-Based Franchises in 2011 by Entrepreneur Magazine.

The Oil Patch Bible
https://oilfieldchristianfellowship.com/
In 1991, a drilling engineer Jim Teague, and a salesman, John Bird, decided to host a breakfast in order to get to know other Christian's in the oil industry. Only advertised by word of mouth, remarkably 46 men and women showed up at 6 AM for the first meeting! Everyone enjoyed the camaraderie so much they decided to meet monthly for lunch, thus the Oilfield Christian Fellowship was founded and within a few months, as many as 250 were attending.
Today OCF luncheons and dinners are held in Canada, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Wyoming, and Pennsylvania, with more chapters in the making. Here speakers share how they came to know Christ and what He is doing in their lives. Because of this, thousands of men and women have been encouraged, lives have changed and many have accepted Christ for the first time.

We are energy. For more than 80 years, Southwestern Energy Company has thrived because of a deep commitment to providing the energy that powers our world. Our success continues to be dependent upon the dedication of our employees to the company and to the communities in which we operate.
Southwestern Energy Company is an independent energy company whose wholly-owned subsidiaries are engaged in natural gas, natural gas liquids and oil exploration, development, production, gathering and marketing.
We are explorers and producers.Though we search far beyond our current operating footprint, our work is principally focused on the development of natural gas and natural gas liquids in the Appalachian Basin in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and the exploration of oil and natural gas in other new venture plays in North America.
We are Midstream Services. Our commitment to creating value through innovation is evident in our Midstream Services segment, which primarily supports our E&P operations. Midstream Services generates revenue from gathering fees associated with the transportation of natural gas and natural gas liquids to market and through the marketing of our own gas production and some third-party natural gas.
Nearly every day people ask what our company’s Formula means. Simply put, it’s the way we go about our business. Ask virtually any employee and they will tell you the Formula is an important part of the company’s identity and something that positively influences people’s actions on a daily basis. It’s been described by employees in many ways: an ever-present reminder to create exceptional value, the key to the company’s success, a guide for decision-making, a reinforcement to do the Right Things, and an appreciation for being the Right People.

This dinosaur is one of my favorite things at NAPE, and a little blow up dinosaur is a great little gift for the kids when I get home.
https://www.sinclairoil.com/dino-history
Sinclair’s advertising writers first had the idea to use dinosaurs in Sinclair marketing back in 1930. They were promoting lubricants refined from crude oil believed to have formed when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
The original campaign included a dozen different dinosaurs, but it was the gentle giant, the Apatosaurus, that captured the hearts of Americans.
Dino was called a Brontosaurus when he was first used in Sinclair advertising. So why do we call him an Apatosaurus now?
Dinosaur fossils are rare, which makes it difficult to study and classify them. Since 1903, paleontologists have had conflicting opinions about whether the Brontosaurus is its own unique genus, or whether it’s the same as the Apatosaurus. Sinclair has followed the prevailing opinions of the scientific community, which currently favors calling Dino an Apatosaurus – though new research may eventually change that.

Contender Energy buys minerals and has a golf drive competition at their booth.
http://www.contenderenergy.com/
Contender Energy Partners, LP is a well-funded mineral and royalty acquisition firm headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Contender was founded by Chase Gibson and Kevin Christian, who cut their teeth in the Permian by buying and selling minerals with their own capital earned from successful drilling and operations efforts. Success and growth came quickly to the team. Their track record and transaction history soon enticed expanded funding opportunities, and Contender Permian II, LP was formed in partnership with a group of Texas-based family offices. Contender is Texan managed and Texan funded. Since May of 2016, we have closed over 120 mineral and royalty transactions covering over 250,000 gross acres in the Permian. This acreage stretches across 10 counties in Texas and New Mexico, including over 150 producing or permitted horizontal wells.
We utilize proven analytics to target buy areas, evaluate prospects, and acquire mineral interest while working directly with mineral owners to improve the speed and quality of our deals. Sometimes the process can get complicated, but our educational approach builds confidence in seller and our experience and flexibility enables us to reliably execute.
We diligently strive for clarity and transparency at each step in the process, providing succinct, time-tested documentation sellers can easily absorb and understand. We are happy to work with a family’s legal, tax, and financial planning advisors to ensure the deal is structured clearly, properly, and tax efficiently. Through proper alignment with mineral owners, we leverage our knowledge to efficiently secure and close deals time and time again.
