  • Discover what Kurt Nauck has in common with Pink Higgins (The Good Bad Man), why the Houston Museum of Natural Science bought his venture, and when he hired his Dad (15 minutes).

    =================================================

    CEO BlindspotsÂź Podcast Guest: Kurt Nauck.

    A lifelong entrepreneur, Kurt began his first business as a freshman in high school. Upon entering Texas A&M University, he started his second business, Korwear, selling senior boots and uniforms to the Aggie Corp of Cadets. He graduated with a degree in wildlife biology (which he never expected to use), but wound up starting another business in Houston called Wildlife on Wheels. Hiring wildlife graduates out of A&M, this traveling zoo serviced the greater Houston area for 8 years until he sold it to the Houston Museum of Natural Science where it continues to exist today.

    Another business he began in 1984 was Memory Machines, a shop in downtown Houston specializing in mechanical and musical antiques. This operation morphed into Nauck's Vintage Records, the world's largest purveyor of vintage 78rpm and cylinder sound recordings made from the 1890s to the 1950s.

    His involvement in the world of vintage records led to a 2009 Grammy nomination for a historical reissue of Edison cylinders entitled "Polk Miller and His Old South Quartet."

    In 2012, Kurt formed Texas Ready, a company dedicated to teaching people how to become food self-sufficient. He and his Texas Ready business partner Lucinda Bailey sell heirloom seeds to people who wish to grow food in their own backyard, as well as food preservation equipment such as freeze dryers, dehydrators and canners, and they offer hands-on instruction pertaining to food production, preservation and storage.

    CEO BLINDSPOTSÂź PODCAST GUEST: Cole Patchell

    Cole Patchell is the President of the CRA group of companies (CRA, CRA Finished Tubes, PipeSearch, and K&B/CRA).

    He grew up in an oilfield home and started working in the pipe yard at the age of 15. Cole graduated from the Miami University with a BS in Business, Economics, Entrepreneurship, and began his career with McDermott International. In December 2008, Cole joined Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRA), founded by his father John Patchell in 2001. For the first 4 years at CRA, he spent up to 6 months of the year visiting customers in over 50 countries. It was during those years of heavy travel, Cole learned that the industry needed more innovation in the supply of OCTG. This was the start of his passion for harnessing the power of technology in their business. What started as an idea on paper in 2013, has turned into the development of some of the most advanced technology in the world to support the buying and selling of pipe.

    Today, as President of CRA, Cole is committed to leading the group of CRA companies into a future defined by sustainability and technological advancements. The unique value provided to their customers come via two vision statements and the supporting companies:

    Manufacturing Vision: Be the fastest, most reliable, quality mill provider of corrosion resistant alloy pipe and tube in the world.

    Trading Vision: Become the world’s most reliable and trusted source of quality surplus.

    Cole continues to be deeply devoted to seeking innovative solutions that contribute to their sustainability goals while creating a positive societal impact. By supporting renewable energy initiatives and promoting a more circular economy, they can drive change that resonates beyond their organizations and leaves a lasting legacy for future generations.
