## Resource

In this episode of the Pipeliners Podcast, Russel Treat talks with pipeline integrity veteran Jerry Rau about how he came to write and publish a multi-author book series designed to capture hard-earned industry lessons in a story-driven format for the next generation of pipeliners. They discuss the intent behind the books—focusing on practical perspective, leadership, and knowledge transfer rather than a textbook-style technical reference—and share highlights on what makes the second volume distinct. The conversation also includes a preview of the upcoming release and related availability details tied to PPIM, with proceeds supporting Young Pipeline Professionals (YPP) USA.
