About SoukAI & OGGN Podcast Partnership: SoukAI is an AI-powered brokerage platform transforming oil and gas transactions by eliminating traditional brokers and streamlining deal execution with AI-driven automation, trust verification, and document standardization.

We are partnering with Mark LaCour and OGGN (Oil & Gas Global Network)—the world’s largest oil and gas podcast network with over 4 million listeners—to co-host a new podcast focused exclusively on startups and entrepreneurship in the oil and gas industry.

While SoukAI’s UK-based team will host episodes covering Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), we are seeking a Houston-based representative to host the North American edition of the podcast.

Podcast Theme & Focus

This podcast will spotlight:

1. Oil & Gas Startup Founders – Entrepreneurs building innovative solutions in the industry.
2. Disruptive Business Models – Exploring new approaches in trading, operations, and logistics.

OGGN will provide guest outreach support, ensuring a steady stream of top-tier startup founders and entrepreneurs for interviews. However, SoukAI will also have the freedom to invite guests from our own network.

At SoukAI, we are committed to professionalism and ethical integrity, ensuring that all podcast content aligns with Islamic values. As part of our commitment:

1. No music-based intros/outros – We use Sharia-compliant alternatives such as vocal-only nasheeds or professional voiceovers.
2. Guest dress code adherence – Guests should dress modestly in a professional manner.
3. Respectful & professional discussions – Conversations should remain within the boundaries of Sharia Compliance, and guidance will be shared on how to adhere to these principles.

As a Podcast Host, you will be responsible for ensuring these guidelines are met, maintaining an engaging and professional podcast experience.
