5th Generation Grit: Oil, Drilling & Leadership with Andy Brickley | Ep 29

In Episode 29 of the Killer Growth Podcast, Samuel sits down with Andy Brickley, owner of AJ Services and Lighthouse Drilling, for a deep dive into the realities of the Kansas oil field.
A fifth-generation oilfield operator, Andy shares how he started a pipe testing business straight out of high school, grew it through trial and error, and expanded into roustabout services, production ownership, and eventually drilling rigs. He breaks down how an oil well is drilled, completed, produced, and maintained—along with the hard lessons learned from equipment failures, volatile oil prices, and managing crews in one of the toughest industries in America.
The conversation covers:

The full lifecycle of an oil well
Why drilling is “the hardest way to make a buck”
How global oil prices affect small operators
The difference between Kansas fields and Texas horizontals
Why production ownership is his real passion
And the leadership philosophy behind AJ Services: Faith, Family, Finances
This episode is a masterclass in grit, long-term thinking, and building something durable in a boom-and-bust industry.
