Bourbon with Brad

Energy, Marriage, Math, and Japanese Whiskey with Eric Kowalski

Bourbon with Brad

Show Notes

On this episode of Bourbon with Brad, we sit down with a mind that feels like it was engineered in a clean room: Eric Kowalski — oil & gas and energy expert, razor‑sharp CMU grad, math philosopher, global traveler, and freshly married after a stunning ceremony in Japan.

Eric brings a rare blend of technical mastery and lived wisdom. We dive into the future of global energy, the elegance of Japanese whiskey, the philosophy behind “Math is God’s Mind”. We also talk about his two upcoming books, where he expands on his mathematical worldview and the energy systems shaping the next century.

We are also joined by Lou Scerbo for our signature “Loubricity” segment, where we attempt to define Loubricity, measure it, and understand why it seems to spike whenever Eric starts talking about thermodynamics or Japanese wedding traditions.

It’s smart, it’s fun, it’s global, and it pairs perfectly with a pour of something aged and interesting.
