"At the busy intersection of policy and politics, there is no one keener in assessing potential outcomes — and solving actual problems — than Mike Cantrell. For 40+ years, he has developed relationships across political, cultural, and business differences. There is no individual in Oklahoma political circles with a more complete understanding of the multiple layers of thought and work needed to conceive and implement effective political strategies or campaigns. Mike knows grassroots. He knows the media. And he knows fund-raising. And if he doesn't know, he'll find who does and learn. What other small oil and gas businessman has taken on Exxon? Or OPEC? Or the Environmental Protection Agency?"

"Mike Cantrell has never met a problem he couldn't solve, and in fact, unlike most of us, he thrives on them. Mike is an out-of-the-box thinker who can see 360 degrees around any issue before him. He is also an unparalleled strategist, and when you combine these three rare attributes, you have a remarkable recipe for success. Having worked with Mike for years in strategic consulting, I am always amazed at the powerful (and mostly elusive to the rest of us), insights he brings to the table. Not only does he have the track record to prove his innate abilities when it comes to making a difference for companies, professionals, and politicians, but he brings something else that few are able to bring – tact, diplomacy, and respect. I, for one, am thrilled that he is willing to share his playbook with the rest of us. We will all be more successful because of it."

"Mike has an uncanny ability to grasp the public's true sentiments, paired with the strategic and tactical acumen to navigate complexity and align organizational or movement goals with the broader public interest. His historical knowledge, coupled with a deep understanding of today's political and business climate, makes him a force to be reckoned with."

"Mike Cantrell has the unique ability to identify, organize, and unify divergent groups behind issues for the long-term common good. He is unabashed, bold, and optimistic. In many instances, Bubba will figuratively head out after a 'Moby Dick' issue in his rowboat and be successful. His only question in such matters is: how much tartar sauce will we need?"

Former Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner and a Political and Regulatory Affairs consultant.

"Mr. Cantrell is a fearless and astute oil field expert who knows the federal, state, and local regulatory and political realities behind the business of oil and gas production. Whether it involves big corporations or small producers, when it comes to planning, executing, or analyzing a policy dogfight, there's no one else I'd rather have on my side."

Former head of the Texas Railroad Commission's oil and gas division and former executive director of the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers.

"Knowledgeable of business, politics, government, and media. Normally, expertise in one or two of those four makes a winner. Mike has the handle on all four!"

Director of Communications and Government Relations, Shangri-La Golf Club, Resort & Marina

"Mike is one of those super bright and motivated individuals who has seen most of it and learned from everything he has touched, as well as being a class act in every aspect of his life. I would certainly recommend him for any interest he may have pertaining to any project he finds challenging."

Owner/Broker, Margaret Barton & Associates Real Estate

"Mike Cantrell taught me so much about the reality of business and politics and how it all must work together and how you need to engage with vigor not only to win but truly be successful. Mike brings a unique perspective to big issues; time with Mike is time well spent."
