Panex CEO Jay Burr talks about his company’s evolution amid Biden & the left’s “green energy” shift

On this “Small Business Saturday” episode of the Furthermore video podcast, host Amanda Head is joined by the President and CEO of Panex, Jay Burr. Right now the oil and gas industry is at a crossroads, grappling with both formidable challenges and exciting opportunities. Key among these are the pressing needs for strategic partnerships, substantial investments, robust educational initiatives, and adherence to high ethical standards. Burr has been vocal about these issues, especially highlighting the potential job displacement and significant infrastructure development required as the political left tries to transition the world toward ‘green energy’ economies.

Additionally, Burr shared the unique journey of Panex, a family-owned business now spanning four generations and currently living through what he termed as their, “second life.” This historical perspective illustrates the resilience and adaptability of the company amidst an ever-changing industry landscape. Burr also highlighted how Panex has managed to thrive by continuously evolving its practices and embracing innovation. One of the distinguishing aspects of Panex, as Burr explained, is their specific data review, approach to oil extraction and their operational ethos that sets them apart in the industry. He elaborated on the technical processes involved in extracting oil from the Earth and underscored the company’s commitment to responsible and efficient practices.

Furthermore, Burr does not shy away from discussing the broader political and economic environment’s impact on his family-owned company. He voiced concerns about the policies of the Biden Administration, arguing that certain regulations have adversely affected the company’s success. Burr was particularly critical of the push towards an all-electric future, asserting that such a shift is neither feasible nor beneficial in the immediate future. He also pointed out that, “we’re all in the oil and gas business, whether you want to be or not.” Throughout this episode Jay Burr offered a comprehensive look at the current state and future prospects of the oil and gas industry.

Defying Lockdowns: NJ Gym Owner Ian Smith’s Latest Legal Victory, Community Support & Fight for Truth

On this “Small Business Saturday” episode of the Furthermore podcast, host Amanda Head is joined by fitness instructor, author, and Co-Owner of Summit Rejuvenation, Ian Smith. Head and the former gym owner of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey discuss how he and his business partner resisted against government restrictions during the pandemic. Smith and his co-owner made major headlines by keeping their gym doors open all throughout the pandemic — defying Democratic Governor Phil Murphy’s lockdown orders, and racking up daily fines of $15,000 or more. Smith shares his intense legal battles, which culminated in the recent clearing of all charges, and delves into his ongoing fight to invalidate court orders and seek justice for the penalties imposed.

Despite the challenges, Smith highlights the unwavering support the gym received from the community during this government goose-chase. Collectively, the gym’s GoFundMe raised over $500,000 from patriots across the country, and the gym continued to sell out of t-shirts which helped the co-owners reduce their financial strain from penalties imposed by the state.

Smith goes on to emphasize the importance of questioning government research, experts, or official business by encouraging listeners to conduct their own independent research and uncover the actual truth for themselves. Furthermore, Head and Smith discuss the critical role of community solidarity, standing up for personal beliefs, and resisting government overreach to safeguard individual rights and freedoms.

Keep an eye out because you may see Smith, who now resides in Florida, run for an elected position at the local level in the next election cycle.
