We would like to congratulate Ann Fox on receiving the Semper Fidelis Award! Ann is a Marine as well as the President and CEO of Nine Energy Service. The Oilfield 360 podcast was fortunate enough to be able to sit and talk with her about some of the other areas she exudes excellence in her life.

Why are people watching this?

Dave and Justin discuss Sweet Tooth, the #1 show on Netflix this week. Here's the official synopsis: On a perilous adventure in a post-apocalyptic world, a boy who's half-human and half deer searches for a new beginning with a gruff protector. Ann Fox returns to the podcast to explain why she dislikes everything about this show. Justin, on the other hand, loves everything about it. Dave attempts to bring peace between the two warring factions by adopting a wishy-washy middle ground. Ann is flummoxed by fences, Justin reveals stuffed animal trauma, and Dave explains how he has prepared his children for the apocalypse. Also, there is talk of human manure. Things get weird.

It was warm spring day on Friday April 25th, 2008 in Aiken, South Carolina when 47-year-old Ann Fox Smith didn't show up for work. Ann was a beloved special education teacher at Kennedy Middle School and this was definitely out of the ordinary. As the day went on with no word from Ann, her friend and fellow teacher, Sally Ferriter drove to Ann's house on Whitney Drive to check on her. As she stepped from the sunny spring day into Ann's home, she did not realize she was moments away from a life altering discovery. Ann Fox Smith lay dead on the floor in a blood spattered bedroom.

Hart Energy’s Women In Energy podcast is back with another installment focused on managing from the top level and the path of one industry executive to leading her own company. In this episode, Ann Fox, president and CEO of Nine Energy Service Inc., joined hosts Jessica Morales and Emily Patsy to discuss what she’s learned from holding the top position at a leading oilfield services company and the advice she has for the younger generation. Fox, who served multiple tours of duty in Iraq in the U.S. Marine Corps, spoke with us about her entry into the energy industry (1-minute mark) after her service. She also spoke more about her experiences in the military (1:45) and how that molded her into the leader she is today (4:15). One of the correlations between her military service and time with Nine Energy that she shared was her approach to the downturn after assuming the CEO role in 2015 (4:45). In addition, Fox talked about the moment she felt she had found her calling in life while still early on in her career (8:25). Lastly, Fox shared advice on building a strong team (10:10), mentors (11:55) and millennials (13:10).

After Iraq, she completed her MBA from Harvard Business School. Next was a move to Houston, Texas, where Fox was evaluating and executing investment opportunities within the oilfield sector at SCF Partners.

As kids grow their bodies change. So do their thoughts, feelings and desires. When young adolescents (10-14 year olds) start experiencing crushes, it can be exciting, awkward and very confusing. Tweens need education designed for them so they can make healthy choices when they are ready to become sexually active.

Less weird." AMAZE is a partnership of three non-profit organizations: Answer, Advocates for Youth. and Youth Tech Health. Nicole Cushman, Executive Director of Answer, says, "The research shows that teens actually want to hear more from their parents about their values and expectations when it comes to sex, dating, and relationships."

At times, every child feels worried, confused, or scared. In those moments, kids need safe adults to talk to. When your child comes to you, out of the blue, with a burning question, or when your family is faced with a sensitive situation that requires your bringing kids into the loop, how do you do it effectively? Psychologist Dr. Robyn Silverman, author of "Good Girls Don't Get Fat" and "Bully: An Action Plan for Teachers, Parents and Communities to Combat the Bullying Crisis" reminds parents that conversations are "not soliloquies." Listening (without distractions) to what your child has to say is at least as important as what you have to say. Annie and Robyn discuss how to talk to kids about anything.

Family Confidential: Secrets of Successful Parenting with Annie Fox, M.Ed.

In the minds of kids as well as adults "failure" is something to be avoided at all costs. But Jessica Lahey, educator and author of "The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Kids Can Succeed" says we may be missing something important in our mistake-averse approach to life. "I don't want kids to fail. I want kids to have this adapt-positive response to making mistakes. Unfortunately, when I talk to parents these days a B- is 'failure' to them." Annie talks with Jessica about how our current hyper fixation on success hurts kids and what we can do to help them succeed while acknowledging the value of making mistakes along the way.

Many caring moms and dads today have turned away from the authoritarian parent model they may have grown up with. The new approach is often influenced by the belief that a parent should be a child's friend. In that role, it's hard to say "no." When kids only hear "Yes, of course you can, sweetheart." how can they learn how to deal with life's inevitable frustrations, obstacles, and set-backs and become responsible and resilient? And how can parents live under the stress of having to be the "perfect" parent all the time? "Perfect parents don't raise perfect children," says Karen Deerwester, parent coach and author of The Entitlement-free Child. "They raise children feel not good enough." Annie talks with Karen about we got here and how parents can give kids a "voice and a choice" without giving them the power to call all the shots.

Parenting tweens and teens is challenging. They're testing boundaries, just as they should at this age. And whether we like it or not, they're frequently pushing back and trying to establish their own independent identity (interests/values/opinions) apart from Mom and Dad. That level of conflict is reality in most intact, stable, both-parents-married-to-each-other families. When a separation or divorce occurs and either parent is beginning to date, that's likely to create extra challenges for teens and their parents. "Divorce or separation is a huge change," says Karen Bonnell, family coach and author of "The Co-Parents' Handbook: Raising Well-adjusted, Resilient, and Resourceful Kids in a Two-Home Family from Little Ones to Young Adults"."This is a huge change and there's often grief involved. So kids are recalibrating, trying to make sense out of something their parents have done that they have no control over." Annie talks with Karen about how to parent your teen once you start dating again after divorce. About Karen Bonnell (@karenbonnellcmc) Karen Bonnell has over 30 years of experience working with couples and families facing transition, loss, growth, and change. Her work as a Collaborative Divorce Coach spurred her determination to write "The Co-Parents' Handbook".

When we're worried, we are not feeling empowered (or safe or happy). That's part of the reason parents often tell our kids "Don't worry." Easier said than done. "Worrying is on one end of a continuum with fear on the other and anxiety in between," says Psychologist Dr. Dan Peters. "Fear," he says, "is a response we all need biologically to survive. It's a response to a real threat in the environment. Anxiety is an irrational fear. The thing we're anxious about (and stress and obsess over). That thing is possible, but it's highly unlikely. Worry, with a small 'w' is a feeling of nervousness where we're thinking something bad is going to happen. But when it starts moving toward anxiety, the small 'w' becomes a big 'W' and becomes a lot more problematic." And gets in the way of our kids enjoying life and reaching their potential. Annie talks with Dr. Dan about children who worry and how parents can help them master those worries. About Dan Peters (@DrDanPeters) Daniel B.

In high achieving schools, the expectations of parents and teachers can be intense. Getting top grades puts kids under unhealthy levels of stress. And is it even necessary? According to school counselor and therapist, Phyllis Fagel, "It's not clear what grades even mean any more. In today's Digital Age, with this many variables [contributing to our kids' chances for success in the workplace] I think people are just trying to control whatever they can. And grades is one of them." Many colleges are beginning to broaden their perspective to include more than just a student's GPA when considering applicants. That's an important step in the right direction. Anxious parents may also be recognizing that grades, per se, don't define a child, but they're not sure what does.

Our culture pressures mothers to conform to an ideal of "good mom." When our children are little we are often too busy with caregiving to think about who we are. As kids reach the point in their development where they aren't as dependent, we may find ourselves with more time for ourselves. According to Life Coach Caroline Greene, this new chapter of parenting can be accompanied by a "deflation and a loss of identity and feelings of loneliness, isolation, and confusion." For Caroline, ten years out of law school, she was still in the kitchen. She loved the life she and her husband built for their family, but she "wasn't happy or fulfilled." On top of that, because she knew she was so fortunate, she felt guilty. Annie talks with Caroline about honestly asking ourselves, not only "What kind of person do I want to be raising?" but also (and equally important) "What kind of person do I want to be?" **Special offer for Family Confidential podcast listeners: To get a free copy of Caroline Greene's book "MATTER: How to Find Meaningful Work That's Right For You And Your Family" simply email Caroline@CarolineGreeneCoaching.com and put the word "Matter" in the subject line.

Everyone has heard the voice of his or her own "inner critic" taking pot shots at us during times of low self-confidence. For many girls and women that inner critic often mutters (or shouts) about how we look. A running internal monologue of body-shaming can become so ubiquitous we don't even know we're doing it. And yet, without awareness of this self-abuse, how can women truly gain the confidence we need to reach our full potential? How can we stop seeing other women as competitors in a universal beauty competition and start seeing them as friends, mentors, and sister in a support network?

Parents are very tuned in to other parents. When we see something in public looks like "bad" parenting, our impulse to judge may be to strong to resist. But a snapshot of a situation doesn't often tell the whole story. You don't know what came before, and you don't know what's going to happen after. Rushing to judgment doesn't help child or parent. It takes a village to raise a child, but what's a concerned villager to do? "Instead of me assuming that (the parent under pressure) needs parenting help, and that I know what you need, it's better to say to come in with curiosity," says parent coach, Mercedes Samudio. "You might say to that parent, 'Hi. How are you doing? What do you need?' That gives the parent a chance to tell you what (if anything) he or she might need in the moment. And if you can help.

It's not easy being a child, tween, or teen with ADHD. It's not easy being the parent of one either. Whether your child has recently received this diagnosis or has lived with it for a while, how you deal with it can have a profound impact on your child's social success in life. Katherine Ellison, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and co-author (with Dr. Stephen P. Hinshaw) of "ADHD: What Everyone Needs to Know", indicates that "A really important part of being a parent of a child with ADHD is to help them understand their effect on you and their effect on kids their age so they can find different ways of relating to people." Annie talks with Katherine about the myths of ADHD and how parents and teachers need to educate ourselves so we can all do a better job providing these children with their best learning and living environments.

A parent's #1 job is to keep his or her children safe, yet 80% of all child abuse cases involve some form of neglect. We do our best to care for and protect our children in the obvious ways, but what about protecting them from child abuse? Before today's guest, child advocate and trained child forensic interviewer, Ginger Kadlec, became immersed in this work, she admits that she was, like many of us, "...one of those people who knew child abuse existed, but I didn't really have a firm grasp on just how vast a problem it is." Annie talks with Ginger about educating parents and other caring adults to help protect the children in their lives. About Ginger Kadlec (@GingerKadlec) After nearly 20 years pursuing a career as an executive in the technology sector, Ginger Kadlec was presented an opportunity to become the executive director of Chaucie's Place, a child advocacy center focused on the prevention of child sexual abuse and youth suicide.

According to Dr. Devorah Heitner, parents should assess their kids' digital and communication needs before handing over access to any digital media. Wait! Not as soon as they start bugging you for a smart phone? As Devorah puts it, "Because we supervise so much of our kids' face-to-face time with peers, they don't have a lot of practice dealing directly with other kids when there's a conflict." That's why she advocates parents' giving kids lots of practice in working through different scenarios so they can be more thoughtful and respectful when issues come up online. Annie talks to Deborah about empowering parents on mentoring kids in the digital age. About Devorah Heitner (@DevorahHeitner) Devorah Heitner, PhD is the founder and director of Raising Digital Natives, a resource for parents and schools seeking advice on how to help children thrive in a world of digital connectedness.

When Galit Breen posted an article about the lessons of love she'd learned from the first twelve years of marriage, she was stunned by the response. The comments weren't about what she'd written. They were, she says, "... all about how fat I looked in my wedding dress." As much as Galit knew she shouldn't let poison darts from strangers bring her down, the truth is cruelty hurts. Her article about that mind-blowing experience (It Happened to Me) went viral and was featured on the Today Show. Annie talks to Galit about challenging the culture of cruelty and teaching our kids to be kind online. About Galit Breen (@GalitBreen) Galit Breen is a Minnesota based writer whose work has appeared in Huffington Post, Washington Post, and TIME.

People on social media give themselves license to be incredibly rude to others. And this is the playground our kids hang out in every day. While we can't control what comes out of someone else's mouth (or keyboard), we definitely can learn to monitor what comes out of our own. When we respond to insults with insults, conflicts escalate. To teach people to respond more maturely to criticism, Dr. Jeff Rubin has delineated five different response levels, from most immature to the most respected. "There is something intuitive about this (process)," he says. "Because people would prefer to be treated that way themselves." Annie talks to Dr. Jeff about teaching kids, even teens, to move from insults to respect. About Dr. Jeff Rubin Jeffrey Rubin grew up in Brooklyn, received his PhD from the University of Minnesota and has taught conflict resolution there as well as at a psychiatric clinic, a correctional facility, and a number of public schools. He has published articles on anger and conflict resolution. His books include the "Cool Steve Trilogy", a series of novels, as well as the free ebook "Dealing with Insults, Teasing and Criticism: A Guide Illustrated with America's Favorite Comics".
