In this episode of The DATA SECRETS Podcast, I sit down with Luke Komiskey, founder and CEO of DataDrive, a managed analytics consulting company that helps organizations turn data chaos into business clarity.

Luke shares how his journey from corporate analytics leader to entrepreneur revealed a massive gap in how most businesses think about (and act on) their data. We dig into:

  • Why most “data strategies” fail to produce meaningful impact
  • How managed analytics bridges the gap for organizations that can’t justify a full in-house data team
  • The hidden costs of under-utilized BI platforms like Power BI and Tableau
  • Practical ways to measure the actual ROI of analytics initiatives
  • Why starting with the business problem (not the data) changes everything
  • Lessons learned from scaling DataDrive’s team and client base across industries

From uncovering small changes that lead to big wins, to building a repeatable process for data maturity, Luke brings an operator’s and founder’s lens to what it really takes to make analytics drive revenue, efficiency, and innovation.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
