From scrubbing tanks in Indiana to leading an energy company, Matt Gallagher’s story is anything but boring. He’s seen it all—booms, busts, wild innovations, and even a UFO (or maybe just Starlink?) from a hot tub in Colorado. We get into the early days of horizontal drilling, what it was like growing Parsley Energy during the shale boom, and where he sees U.S. oil production headed next. Plenty of laughs, plenty of insight, and maybe even a conspiracy theory or two—this one’s got it all.
