In this episode of The Street Smart Podcast, we explore the journey of Brian Cook, whose roots in the oil and gas industry run deep.
Introduced to the field by his father and grandfather, Brian's passion for this sector was ignited early on. After graduating from Texas A&M College in Kingsville, he quickly discovered the hard work and lucrative potential the industry held, not just for himself but also for his family.
In November 2019, Brian embarked on a groundbreaking initiative called Oilfield NextGen.

Designed with industry insights, Oilfield NextGen not only focuses on career and educational guidance but also emphasizes rapid advancement, thorough training, and crucial safety awareness to equip the workforce for today's demands and future challenges.
Having founded several successful companies since the age of 24, Brian continues to be a significant player in the global oil and gas market. His story is a testament to what it means to be STREET SMART in a complex and evolving industry.
