If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.

In this guest post our CEO Alegra N Horne shares her thoughts on her early influences, likely business mentors, and how quantum mechanics could drive the energy industry. As shareholders and investors demand a higher level of accountability, the use of algorithm technology increases, which calls for stronger protection of the digital identity. Alegra is convinced that software intelligence is the driving solution for greater accountability and transparency in the energy sector.

It all started when…

I was seven years old, and found myself captivated by a 1980’s television broadcasting special on Quantum Mechanics. If my memory serves me correctly, I had just begun reading a book called the Chance that fascinated me dearly. As a child, books like the Chance and others took me on these amazing journeys that centered on space time travel and the complex small world. Needless to say, at an early age, I knew quantum mechanics would prove to have a significant place within scientific circles, and I held a place for it in the back of my mind until after my undergraduate studies.

In 2003, I began working in the oil and gas industry, and quickly began to question how the strange nature of the subatomic world of quantum mechanics could impact the industry in terms of data and energy optimization (hydrocarbon utilization and management). In early 2014, I began to see the trends, parallels, and potential of quantum applications in energy and realized that nobody was mentioning how this space would impact energy. To me, the answer lies in these smallest of realms, that reveal the most unusual activities. Like the quote above, by John D. Rockefeller, I believe that the old paths of success must be challenged to discover uncharted avenues of success. While, John D. Rockefeller is known for bring structure to the oil industry in the late 1800’s during a time of chaos. Today, I imagine he would marvel at the opportunity to uncover techniques and applications at the quantum level to jump start the industry forward once again.

History of Standard Oil Company

Another favorite of mine is traveling, around the world and even through the pages of old books (you could have guessed this easily from the tunnel of books photo above). I enjoy reading books on the history of the oil and gas industry and quantum mechanics. Particularly, the History of the Standard Oil Company and Space Time Travel. I believe the current energy transition of today is something that was foreseen by John D. Rockefeller, though it may not be fully recognized as such. My reasoning behind this comes from what we see today, the companies of the original Standard Oil Company, since its dismemberment in 1911, have continued to consolidate like a wheel spoke that rotates full circle. It appears that men like John D Rockefeller thought that innovation and technology advancements were significant drivers to maintaining an edge in the industry. And, if this holds true, then the expectation for the industry to remain significantly viable is to step into advancing technologies that harness the small world much more meaningfully. And, this launches the ground-level for companies like RMSF Corporation to use as a roadmap or framework for working on issues dealing with clean water and energy.

The industry is positioned to move to a place of transition with quantum research and science at a quantum level to address some of its biggest challenges. The industry has been involved with some of the people unique technologies and innovations that have given us the comfort that we enjoy today and I’m sure that we will continue to see the industry embrace advances which continue to meet the interest of its consumers. Even earlier than age seven (at five years old) I knew that I would always work on something disruptively innovative. I believe that I could work on something like quantum energy sources and such disruptive innovations. If I sound confident, its only because I’ve had a long time to believe in my ability to contribute and work on something within the quantum tier. One of the pain points of the oil and gas industry is the policies and volatility that comes with a significant industry, and solutions to carbon.

I’ve been asked what does it take to succeed? And, I have thought about this question from varies perspectives and I have come to the decision that the key ingredient to succeeding is faith. You have to have faith (believe) that through the setbacks and obstacles everything within reach and measurable. That’s why, I am confident that some of the outstanding questions surrounding quantum properties is within reach to address issues concerning security, energy and water, and materials, among others. And, yes I think that this Nano-sized startup will play an increasingly important role.

You could say that we are attempting to reach the stars from the simple seats of our small office in Raymore, Missouri.

Rockefeller is often seen as a ruthless man, but his contributions even onto today far out-weigh some of the less compelling actions, he may have taken to further not only a company but an entire industry. The idea that he could influences a large part of humanity. Took to further not only an industry, but a global economy and a future that has progressed generations to wealth. I believe that a strong part of my exceptional passion for advanced technology and the wisdom to see through the clouds to the other side to see the big pictures comes from the actions of those like John D. Rockefeller. He was afforded a touch that until now has gone virtually unrivaled/unmatched. He had this sense that he could impact generations far into the future and that’s what we see today. Sometimes, I wonder, what would I say to John D. Rockefeller, if he were still alive today. I image I would pat him on the back, shake his hand, wink and say “Thanks, John D. for being one of the world’s greatest champions of innovation and technology, nicely played.”’
