Turbine Capital

Corey, thanks for being here with us.

You get to see a little bit of the other side of Turbine Capital here.

Yeah, that was great.

Cori Willett, for anybody who isn't familiar, is our landman for Waypoint Energy.

All right, one more thing I wanted to bring up because with 60 positions, I think that you might have some good little tips, tricks, little pieces of wisdom here.

We have a lot of investors at Turbine.

I'm sure there are a lot of investors at Spartan.

that are your airline captain that's only had stock market investments for a long time, they're starting to get their first K-1s.

So who we are, we're really talking about two different companies here.

We've got Turbine Capital, which I'm Tait Duryea, by the way, founder and CEO of Turbine Capital.

That is really the investor ecosystem.

We've got an education platform through the Passive Income Pilots podcast, and we are fairly diversified.

We participate in real estate, energy, and private debt, but Waypoint, which is what we're talking about today, is a dedicated oil and gas company.

investment company within the Turbine Capital ecosystem.

And this is new as of 2026.

We took action late last year into early this year to bring all of these capabilities in-house, primarily with yours truly, Mark Fleming here on the call, who has been absolutely unbelievable, and then with some supporting roles that we have on the call today as well.

Ryan and I have been on the passive side, on the active side, both have been very active.

I think that when you are leading a company like Spartan or you're leading a company like Turbine, you have economies of scale behind you.

You have teams behind you.

You're building an organization that manages hundreds of millions of dollars, and you just have a lot of zeros behind every decision that you're making.
