How One Big Risk Got Me In The Room With Energy CEOs Worldwide. Road to TEE360 Episode 20
In Episode 14 of The Energy Executive 360 Podcast, Emilio Faulmata steps away from the traditional interview format for a raw solo episode filmed in Paris — reflecting on the journey of building one of the fastest-growing independent energy podcasts from nothing.
From filming early episodes across Spain, Aberdeen, London, Kuwait and South Africa, to sitting down with CEOs, founders and some highly influential figures in global energy, Emilio breaks down what he’s learned about ambition, risk-taking, belief, and why moving with intention changes everything.
This episode is not just about podcasting or energy.It’s about what happens when you stop waiting for permission.
Emilio opens up about why he started the podcast less than a year ago, why the oil & gas industry desperately needs more honest and unapologetic conversations, and why he believes the future of energy cannot be built through ideology alone.
He also speaks candidly about fear, quitting his job, taking risks before feeling ready, and the mindset shift that happens once you start betting on yourself fully.
At the core of this conversation is a bigger mission:changing the narrative around energy, leadership, and what is actually possible for people willing to pursue something irrational enough that others initially call it crazy.
What you'll learn:
⬛ How Emilio went from zero connections to interviewing global energy CEOs
⬛ Why oil & gas leaders need to speak more openly and publicly
⬛ The mission behind changing the narrative around energy
⬛ Why the energy transition and oil & gas are not opposing concepts
⬛ The psychology of taking risks before you feel ready
⬛ Why belief in yourself changes how the world responds to you
⬛ What happens when you stop waiting for permission
⬛ Why “moving with intention” opens doors faster than people think
⬛ The real reason most people never pursue what they actually want
⬛ Why action creates pathways and clarity over time
⬛ Lessons learned from founders, CEOs and entrepreneurs across the energy industry
⬛ Why energy is ultimately about improving lives and creating opportunity
⬛ The importance of building something bigger than yourself
⬛ Why the people who fail the most often believe in themselves the most
⬛ “Trust your delusion” — and let the path define itself
This episode is for anyone trying to build something difficult, unconventional, or ambitious — especially when nobody around them fully understands the vision yet.
