Will Gray, from New Era Helium, and John Lipman, from Roth CH V (ROCL)

Most people don’t spend much time thinking about helium, but the resource is critical for some key industries and much of the supply lies with the US’ geopolitical adversaries. There are also no helium mining companies listed on a major worldwide exchange, but that could soon be changing.

This week, we speak with Will Gray, co-Founder and CEO of New Era Helium and John Lipman, co-CEO and co-Chairman of Roth CH Acquisition V Co. (NASDAQ:ROCL). The two announced a business combination in January that would see New Era become a unique stock representing a resource that is not trading like most other commodities.

Will describes how New Era has positioned itself in a helium market that can be tricky to play at a time when supply is tight. John lays out what could be next for New Era once the combination is complete and what he sees taking shape in the new SPAC cycle now that he's on his fifth SPAC deal himself.
