Rhett Bennett

Welcome to the Jay Young Show.

Today we're going back to a conversation I had at the 2024 NAPE Expo with Rhett Bennett, founder and CEO of Black Mountain.

Rhett has built an impressive career in the ener- energy industry, and in this conversation we talk about his journey from growing up in a Kentucky coal mining family to building and scaling businesses across oil and gas.

We get into how he identifies opportunities, how Black Mountain grew the frac sand business, and how he has navigated major changes across the energy industry.

We're now in the fourth quarter of 2026, which means there are only a few months left in the year to evaluate potential tax planning opportunities.

As always, be sure to consult with your own tax and finance professional to determine what may be appropriate for your individual situation.

Now, here's my conversation with Rhett Bennett at the 2024 NAPE Expo.

Hey, everybody.
