“You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss” with Barry Barksdale on Tripping Over the Barrel

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.
