Have you led an effort to install 100 wells across Africa from Kenya to Cameroon? Neither have we. But Youtube powerhouse Mr. Beast has. Anchor Brock Yordy celebrates the accomplishment and challenges Mr. Beast to come on the show to talk about it (and properly fitting PPE). You may roll your eyes and think, what can a Youtube celebrity contribute to our industry? Plenty.
“We can’t just throw madness because it’s not a hydrogeologist or a driller or somebody talking about this,” Yordy says. “We need more social media champions that have advertisers and millions of dollars to shed focus on this.”
