What The Funk?

Matt Vivian

collide. — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 14:56:00 +0000

Plymouth roots, Detroit suburbs, and a water ski club team romance somehow turn into running a huge Eagle Ford production machine, plus parenting, hockey nights, and still finding time to chase a 14er. Matt Vivian from bpx energy shares how he went from Shell training to startup chaos to leading 1400 plus wells, why bottom up daily habits beat top down chaos, and how LinkedIn went from lurking to actually connecting with people again.

Will Dotson

collide. — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 17:59:34 +0000

RegretShield isn’t your typical OT consulting shop, it’s a crew built on service, straight talk, and actually fixing the messy stuff that slows operators down. Will Dotson walked us through how he went from the military to building a company that’s obsessed with modernizing well pads, tightening up workflows, and giving clients the kind of communication they wish every vendor had. He opened up about the mentors who shaped him, the reality of working in OT (equal parts chaos and reward), and why RegretShield puts such a big emphasis on doing things the right way instead of the loud way. It’s a conversation full of stories, lessons learned, and the mindset that’s helping his team carve out something genuinely different in the OT world.

Jeremy’s story is straight out of the “bet on yourself” playbook. From growing up in tough circumstances to building a $14M powerhouse with Encore Search Partners, he’s turned every obstacle into fuel for growth. We get into how he built his executive search firm from scratch, the marketing smarts that gave him an edge, and the leadership lessons that helped him scale through downturns and even COVID. Beyond business, Jeremy opens up about his engagement, family, and his surprisingly serious pickleball game. It’s a raw, inspiring look at grit, growth, and the kind of mindset it takes to turn zero into $14 million.

Kinetics Controls & Innovation Limited isn’t your average oil and gas maintenance company, they’re the guys quietly rewriting the playbook. Kevin Watt and Graham Steele stopped by to talk about how their Scotland-based team is bringing some seriously smart well integrity solutions to the U.S. oilfields. With over 20 years in the game, they’ve seen it all, wellhead problems, aging assets, safety risks, and they’ve built tech and processes to tackle them head-on. We got into KCI’s journey, their plans to shake up American operations, and how they’re blending innovation with sustainability. Oh, and Graham’s U.S. road trip? It’s going to be one to watch.

Reed Goodman

collide. — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 05:00:00 +0000

Reed’s story is one of those classic oil patch tales with a modern twist, starting out fixing wells on a tight budget and somehow turning that grind into building his own company. He grew up around oil, gas, and cattle, and instead of running from it, he leaned all the way in, carving out his own path with Jaybird Resources. What makes him stand out isn’t just his business chops, but the way he refuses to play by anyone else’s rulebook, owning who he is while chasing bold ideas like modular refineries. This conversation is full of grit, humor, and the kind of honesty you only get from someone balancing business, family, and life in South Texas, all while redefining what it means to be an oilman today.

Justin Pines

Justin’s story is all about turning struggle into strength. After racking up over 1,400 days of sobriety, he’s faced the heavy loss of both parents and some huge life shifts, yet somehow, he’s managed to carve out a sense of peace and purpose in the middle of it all. Growing up as an athlete and later working in management consulting, Justin learned discipline, resilience, and how to channel energy in ways that lift both himself and others. We talked about what it really means to live with intention, find joy in the present, and create momentum even when life feels uncertain. It’s a raw, uplifting conversation that reminds you how powerful acceptance can be when you’re trying to find your flow.

From Spring, Texas to the helm of his own startup, Tyler’s journey is all about turning big ideas into real change for oil and gas. He cut his teeth at LSU, sharpened his skills leading innovative projects at EOG Resources, and now with CT Evolution, he’s tackling downhole logistics in a way that’s shaking up how operators and service companies work together. We got into the grit of launching a business, the headaches and breakthroughs of bringing patented tools to market, and how those innovations are unlocking better reservoir and production diagnostics. It’s part startup grind, part industry insight, and part “how the hell did you even think of that?”, all with a good dose of humor along the way.

Relationships are at the heart of everything Mary does, from building out tech solutions in oil and gas to swapping baking tips and golf stories. We got into how she went from Baltimore to becoming the face of Welland, the consulting firm making data reporting way less painful with tools like Unidata and SQL (but don't worry, she keeps it human). Mary’s one of those people who makes remote work look effortless, balancing serious technical chops with genuine connection. Also, her dog’s name is Drago, which basically makes her cooler than all of us.

He shares stories from a globe-spanning career (50+ countries!), the year Egypt cracked open his worldview, and how he went from petroleum engineer to Microsoft-powered problem solver. We get into why tech in this industry actually matters, how AI isn't just a buzzword, and why being a new dad might just be the ultimate crash course in leadership.

Steve Cooper went from mining rocks in the UK to mining insights in the oil and gas world, building and eventually selling EnergyIQ, a company that tackled the chaos of industry data before COVID flipped the world upside down. He breaks down how a background in computer science and a bit of stubborn problem-solving turned into a business that stood out by actually giving a damn about data quality. Jeremy digs into the story behind the scenes, what it took to lead through downturns, why timing is everything, and what Steve’s up to now as he backs the next wave of clean energy and tech startups.

Joshua Owens

Vendor management in oil and gas is usually a mess of outdated systems and constant compliance headaches, but VenLink is flipping the script. We’re talking boots-on-the-ground experience turned into a sleek platform that’s using automation and AI to cut out the inefficiencies, slash risk, and give operators real-time visibility into their vendors. Joshua Owens, who’s been in the trenches with companies like Oxy and Parsley, built VenLink after years of watching vendor oversight go sideways. From rising insurance costs to stalled operations, he’s seen the ripple effects—and built a smarter way to manage it all. This one’s for anyone who’s tired of juggling spreadsheets and wants to see how tech can actually simplify things in the field.

Authenticity, Always with Matt Harriman

collide. — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 13:51:52 +0000

The beauty of podcasting is that you never really know what turns the conversation will take until after you hit record. This episode, with the king of making "work suck less" himself, Matt Harriman, is a perfect example. Sure, there was some discussion around his growing consulting and software company, Pod2, and his recently published book, "Integrated Upstream Planning", but the meat of this recording was about treating employees fairly, mental health, and finding harmony and meaning in both life and work. I hope you tune in to one of my favorite episodes ever!

Here we Grow...with Novus

collide. — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 05:00:00 +0000

One of the best parts of podcasting is bringing back guests who came on a few years ago. All four of the Novus consulting leaders - Chevy, Kate, Robert, and Kevin came on "Tripping Over the Barrel" in 2021, around the time they launched their own consulting firms. In that time, Novus and Peake have experienced significant growth- organically and through acquisition. Despite rapid growth, it is certainly not all rainbows and unicorns, and these entrepreneurs don't shy away from discussing those challenges. A great listen for anyone thinking of "taking the plunge" and starting their own business. Bonus: A no-holds-barred Oklahoma-themed Lightning Round. Enjoy!

Tripping Over the Final Chapter: The Spotfire Crew

If there was one thing that I KNOW T-Lo loved besides A & M football and his family...it was his colleagues at Spotfire. It has always been a firm belief of mine that a huge part of Tim's emphasis on building culture at Energy Navigator was born out of his time in the early 2000's at Spotfire. Laura Dye, a recurring guest, was his work wife. Joseph Taylor was his brother from another mother. Peter Allen was his favorite business beer buddy while John Dinning and Rock Gnatovich (still the undisputed best name of anyone to come on this pod) set the example of servant leadership, compassion, and success. They all come on to roast and toast one of our all-time favorite colleagues, and dear friend.

Becky and Sanjay sitting in a tree e-v-o-l-v-i-n-g. The Evolve Collective is a new age idea that will spawn many copycats. The collective is a worldwide “village” made up of a group of accomplished professionals, energy industry veterans, and somehow, Dr. Funkenstein. The goal is to help startups get the most out of their company. The variety of skillsets amongst the villagers has created a Swiss Army knife of options to assist. We talk about the collective, Sanjay and Becky‘s path to entrepreneurship, and why Sanjay‘s daughter chose Tufts over Brandeis.

We handed out superlatives for funniest, favorite episode, best guest… and of course, most awkward moments. Good times and an easy listen.

Thomas the Feighn

Digital Wildcatters — Thu, 27 May 2021 14:36:56 +0000

Two months ago, Kyle Golden, P2 executive and a good friend of TOTB had a simple message: “you guys need to have Thomas Feighny on your podcast, the guy is electric”. And boy, was he right. Thomas was born with the gift of gab, a passion for storytelling, and a desire to march to the beat of his own drum. Buying a used police cruiser at an Amarillo, TX auction? Sure! Starting a new company in the middle of a pandemic? Why not? Moving to Houston in the middle of the Summer? Of course. Bike riding at 5 AM in 15 degree weather? You already know. Thomas brings an undeniable passion, energy, and youthful exuberance to this weeks TOTB.

Ian Stoneberg and the Calgary – Houston Shuffle

Digital Wildcatters — Thu, 14 Jan 2021 14:53:38 +0000

The US-Canada border is littered with companies that couldn’t transition across it. But Ian “King Moves” Stoneberg can tell you about one that was a smashing success. He also knows a thing or two about Oil and Gas Accounting – going all the way back to when people smoked cigarettes in the office, “Mad Men” style. But that is probably the LEAST interesting thing about Ian, a guy who traded the Calgary ice box for the Houston sauna. Why did he make that move? All for the love of a big red dog. In this unique episode, Ian talks about first meeting Dr. Funkenstein, who was wearing lime green shoes at a conference…how selling in the US is a different world from selling in Canada…and that friend of the podcast and longtime rival of Ian’s, Barry Barksdale, still owes him last month’s rent on his Nantucket house.

Rock Gnatovich (Probably the best name to ever come on this or ANY podcast) joins the guys to detail the backstory of Spotfire, dating back over 20 years ago to the Year 2000. Tim couldn’t help but drag Rock into the mud and discuss the epic corporate meetings from the early days, including a tale of how Spotfire got banned from the largest hotel in New Hampshire. As is common when two New Englanders start chatting – the topic turned to The Pats and Bill Belichick (A Wesleyan classmate of Rock’s)…Rock confirmed that What you see is what you get with Bill, even back in college.

Alex Flournoy was born to be in the Oil & Gas industry…as an Engineer. For better or worse, Alex was given the gift of gab and after a chance encounter, bang – he’s a Sales guy instead. Growing up in Shreveport, LA, and seeing his father help start and run O’Brien Energy lit a passion for the Industry that burns like hot lava. Alex takes us through his time at LSU, to Dallas, to buying his first ever winter coat in Calgary, and eventually to Lafayette, CO, where he and Dr. Funkenstein crossed paths. Alex dispenses the gospel on why Colorado is the cleanest producing Oil state, and why the 2019 LSU Tigers are the GOAT College football team. A fun one!

Why would the guys bring a Senior in college on a “Professional” podcast? Well, listen to Andrew Chan for a couple of minutes and you have your answer…Better Question: Why would a College student (Cal Tech, Go Beavers) attend O&G Networking events or be active on LinkedIn? Conversation ranges from going to school – or not going TO school - during COVID, to Andrew dispening a lesson on Venture Capitalism. NOTE TO HIRING MANAGERS: Look no further, Andrew will probably be the most impactful hire in the history of your company. T-Lo and Dr. Funkenstein are confident that someday…sooner than later…they will call Andrew “Boss”. Bonus: The Doctor talks about meeting Donald Trump, which resulted in 45 calling him an a$$hole, and T-Lo reminisces on the easiest classes A & M had to offer.

We brought the Demo Guru, Peter Cohan, back for another session. Last time Peter blew our minds and completely changed our approach to speaker switches (76 seconds, come on!). We talked about how in this session. What about discovery though? We go deep into discovery and how to do it. Yet again, Peter shows that most of us simply aren't doing enough. We also got Peter's opinion on virtual technologies, sorry Microsoft.

“You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss” with Barry Barksdale

Jeremy Funk and Tim Loser — Thu, 15 Oct 2020 06:00:00 +0000

What is your favorite TV show of all time? Maybe “Breaking Bad”, “Seinfeld”, or “The Walking Dead”? Well, If you haven’t seen “The Wire”…what have you been doing with your life?! One of the great lines from that epic series is the title of this episode, and is particularly relevant to the Data King of the Oil and Gas industry, Barry Barksdale. Barry breaks down the differences between what it means to run a Data Company in 1990 vs 2020, how to KEEP your customers while adapting to rapidly changing technology and industry landscapes, and spending summers with his family on Nantucket. Barry also reminds us of just how small of an industry this is, as former podcast guests Corey Scott and Kevin Decker get shoutouts. A fun episode with yet another industry legend.

D.R.W

Jeremy Funk and Tim Loser — Thu, 08 Oct 2020 06:00:00 +0000

Get your hot takes here!! Does this man really need any introduction? Probably not but he gets one anyway:
How do you go from a few fun and hot (borderline scalding) takes...to becoming LinkedIn famous...to being kicked off LinkedIn? The Woodsman covers this, his well publicized crush on Vicki Hollub, his golf game, growing up in New York (huh?), and the #1 thing he has learned about podcasting. That and much more with DRW!

The Godfather of #EFT

Jeremy Funk and Tim Loser — Thu, 01 Oct 2020 06:00:00 +0000

Dan the Man, “Pick”, “The Wiz of the Oil Biz”. Whatever moniker you choose for Dan Pickering, you better also call him this: Sharp. Humble. Brilliant. And one of the most well liked dudes in the Oil & Gas investment community. Dan dives into his history, and introduction to the oilfield: As an Engineer in Alaska. The formation of Tudor Pickering & Holt, and Dan’s creation of Pickering Energy…and THE Topic on everyone’s minds these days: The state of the industry. A fun and informative look inside the unique investment mind of Dan Pickering. A great follow up to Chuck Yates, another #EFT’er.

BONUS: Dr. Funkenstein, an absolute minnow compared to The Godfather, beats his chest about his own luckbox stock picks (Hello, Tesla), while T-Lo pleads the 5th :)

Who the fu&# is Chuck Yates?! Besides someone who needs a job and NOT a Podcast? Well, he’s friends with Jewel, Dave Grohl, and Michael Linn. He lives in a glass house (seriously – and it’s famous). Take a listen as Chuck goes all over the map with tales such as: “The Million Dollar Tattoo”, the “plumber-ification” of the oilfield, his passion for helping Houston’s 5th Ward, and the crucial role that technology will play in the future of the industry.

You Dennant, Did you?

Digital Wildcatters — Thu, 20 Aug 2020 06:00:00 +0000

Where is the “Most Leaningest” building in the world? The tallest? The Roundest? Turns out UAE has a lot of “ests”.

And Jeremy and Tim thought they had travel headaches, try flying to some remote part of Algeria with plane cancellations and no driving options. Generally, Andrew educated us that you can’t generalize about the countries of the ME or Africa. A great listen.
