PODCAST GUEST
Tim Pawul
Founder, Minerals & Royalties Merchant Bank
The 6'8" former college golfer who bet his career on the tiniest niche in oil and gas — minerals and royalties — and now literally knows everyone in the space.
ABOUT
Tim Pawul grew up on a golf course socializing with business owners from age eight, played college golf at Rice University, and spent his early career flying four weeks a month building relationships across oil and gas — London, Calgary, Rio, Bogotá, Mexico City. Seven years into a Blackstone-owned investor relations platform, COVID froze everything except one niche: minerals and royalties, the underground real estate of oil and gas. He tripled down, started the space's leading podcast and annual conference, and built his own merchant bank connecting family offices worldwide to an asset class he compares to triple-net leases — no tenants, no toilets, pure royalty streams. His real product, he says, is compressing the trust timeline. In episode 088 of Return on Identity he joins Ahmad Ashrafi.
