Shubham Garg #1344

In this episode of Coffee and a Mic, host Mike welcomes Shubham Garg, CEO of Prospera Energy and White Tundra Investment, to discuss the global energy crisis triggered by escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly the Strait of Hormuz crisis. Garg emphasizes that the world has been sleepwalking into a structural energy shortage, having neglected strategic reserves, spare drilling capacity, and infrastructure for over a decade. He argues that the era of cheap, abundant oil has ended, and the resulting supply shock—potentially removing 11+ million barrels per day from global supply—will force a violent restocking phase, higher energy prices, and a fundamental shift in global energy policy. Drawing from his technical background in petroleum engineering and experience through past oil cycles, Garg stresses that energy is the true foundation of global power, not money, and that societies must prioritize energy security, self-reliance, and education. He warns against complacency, highlights the inevitability of supply chain disruptions, and sees immense opportunity for entrepreneurs and investors who prepare now. The episode concludes with a call to action: build, invest, and take personal responsibility in a world where energy scarcity is the new normal.
