What The Funk?

From Twitter hot takes to tech innovation, Zac Coplon’s journey to co-founding 4cast is a masterclass in resilience, adaptability, and good timing. With roots in Oklahoma and a background as a mineral buyer, Zac saw an opportunity to shake up the oil and gas industry with a fresh, user-friendly approach to forecasting. Along the way, he’s balanced building a brand on social media with navigating the personal and professional curveballs of starting a business during COVID—and doing it all while moving his family across the country. In this episode, Zac gets real about the challenges of entrepreneurship, the importance of patience and authenticity, and his big vision for 4cast: becoming the go-to platform for simplifying oil and gas evaluations in a no-nonsense way.
