Ep 75— Why the Wealthy Still Invest in Oil & Gas | Paul H. Graham Returns
🎙 Episode 75 is live — Oil & Gas Investing with Paul H. Graham (Part 2) In this episode, we go beyond the surface. Paul—founder of Sandstone Group—returns to unpack the real structure behind oil & gas investing and why most professionals never hear the full story. This isn’t a pitch. It’s a masterclass in how capital flows, what accredited investors should be asking, and how to think like a principal—not just a participant. 💡 We get into: ✔️ Why oil & gas isn’t going away—and how firms are using reserves as collateral to structure real deals ✔️ How select strategies can legally offset up to 100% of active income ✔️ The five types of oil & gas investing—and why Sandstone avoids some entirely ✔️ How Sandstone vets operators like a private equity advisory group—before capital is ever raised ✔️ What most CPAs and high-income earners misunderstand about this space (and what it costs them) ✔️ Why Paul’s team often invests their own capital into deals before bringing them to others This episode is also a reminder: you don’t need to be born into this space. You need the right people, real due diligence, and the courage to lean into your strengths—not someone else’s playbook. If you're earning over $200K, advising clients, or looking to diversify beyond typical asset classes—this is a conversation you won’t hear from mainstream finance. 🎬 Watch Episode 75 on 👉 🎧 Also on If you want to connect with Paul directly, the best way is through —just send him a message and mention you heard him on the Lightspeed Investing Podcast. From there, you’ll get access to his investor and CPA-focused eBooks, plus deeper insights into how his team vets oil & gas opportunities. 🤝 Ready to Share Your Story on Lightspeed Investing Podcast? 📅 Schedule your call with our host, Philip: 📞 #lightspeedinvesting #alternativeinvestments #oilandgas #privateequity #taxstrategy #capitalallocation #accreditedinvestors #highincomeskills #capital #financialstrategy #entrepreneurship #wealthmanagement #podcast #wealth

Ep 74| From Shark Tank to Legacy: Investor’s Guide to Joy (Part 1) w/ Paul H. Graham
🎙 EPISODE 74 IS LIVE Paul H. Graham | From Shark Tank to the Investor's Guide to Joy (Part 1) This one goes deeper than deal flow. I sat down with Paul—entrepreneur, investor, capital raiser, and co-author with Shark Tank’s Kevin Harrington—to unpack the real conversations happening behind closed doors in the world of eight- and nine-figure founders. But we didn’t just talk money. We talked meaning. 🔎 What happens when high achievers hit their financial goals—but still feel empty? 📈 Why most professionals build for ego before realizing they should’ve built from alignment 🧠 The mindset difference between 6-, 7-, and 9-figure operators 📣 Why the “talk to 100 people” principle might change how you build your next offer, hire, or even make a life decision 📕 And what led Paul to create The Investor’s Guide to Joy—a physical guidebook to living and leading with more intention (not just metrics) This episode isn’t hype. It’s real frameworks, real conversations, and a call to play the long game—not just with your portfolio, but with your purpose. 📺 Watch Episode 74 (Part 1) on 👉 🧭 Part 2 drops next week—follow to stay in the loop. 📩 Want to connect with Paul?

🔊 Lightspeed Investing Podcast – Episode 69 is now live. Back with us for Part 2 is Nicole Daeila of MAG Capital Partners.
