In this episode of "Chuck Yates Needs a Job," Chuck and Collin McLelland sit down with Jonathan Farber of Lime Rock Partners for a conversation that’s equal parts financial acumen and unapologetic razzle-dazzle. Farber, fresh off his 79x windfall from the CrownRock sale, unpacks the nerve required to sit on an asset longer than most marriages last. And speaking of enduring relationships, Farber also spills on his side gig—helping Chuck’s ex-wife pick out a Ferrari, because apparently, private equity doesn’t stop at energy investments.
What starts as a humble brag session quickly turns into a dissection of why the divestment movement is as logically sound as a lead balloon and how surviving the oil patch requires the kind of stubbornness usually reserved for mules and billionaires. With a blend of razor-sharp wit and sardonic insights, this episode is for those who appreciate their financial wisdom served with a side of roast. If you’re looking for a finance podcast with the intellectual sting of William Buckley and the comedic bite of Don Rickles, buckle up—this one’s for you.
