A bad time to plant an apple tree is when you're hungry. A bad time to start networking is when you need a job. Our latest episode with Albert Bellamy has some great perspectives and tips!

Our latest episode was a deep dive into synthetic data with special guest Winston Li. We talked all about this sci-fi sounding data, how it's made, where it shines, and where it falls short!

You get a data product! And YOU get a data product! Wait. What actually makes a data product a data product? It's trickier than we thought (and it seems useful to actually nail that down)!

Our kingdom for a metric that is simple, clear, and as easy to interpret as it is to query!

We're making the experience of listening to our latest episode, with behavioral scientist @lindsaypjuarez, as frictionless as possible!

We thought about having Claude as a guest for this episode, but we ultimately decided to keep it strictly human. The conversation was more organic that way.

Is our latest show pretty much like our past shows, or is it. an outlier? Give it a listen and you can decide!

We visited the home pages of 10 random BI and analytics platforms and 100% of them included the word "insights" at least once on them. Is that an insight? No. Our latest episode explores why it's not.

Linear regression is so often explained using visuals -- a chart with an x and a y axis -- that we thought it would be fun to try an exploration in audio format. Luckily @ChelseaParlett was able to join us so that we could pull it off!

To celebrate International Women's Day, we had an all female crew dive into the topic of AI projects with guest, @kath0134! Kathleen shares several helpful frameworks to ensure your next AI use case is set-up for success.

Out: the quantified self. In: Connected wellness. Either way, it's hyperspecific personal data collected as a continuous stream. The implications? Many! @kubla from @fulcradynamics joined us to talk about them.

Just because you can't validate your hypothesis with the tools in your toolbox you're most comfortable with doesn't mean you shouldn't try new ones! In this episode, we're joined by Erika Olson for some culture-obsessed stories and tips!

What's the opposite of a 280-character post on X? How about a 75,000 word book? The path from one to the other leads right through our latest episode: the launch of a book co-authored by @tgwilson.

We asked. You responded. We learned. Now, we want to share back! Join us for a special bonus episode where we dive into some of the surprising findings from our 2024 listener survey as well as some talk about some new listener goodies!

What's coming to the data world in 2025? We asked Claude, but their answer was a hallucination. So we went with one of the smartest humans we know and had @BM_DataDowntime from @montecarlodata on the show to see where asking the question took us!

Would you believe we've been making this little show for ten years? Thanks for listening! It wouldn't seem real to us save for the fact that our annual Year in Review episode feels like a deeply entrenched tradition.

Have you ever started a presentation, "It was a dark and stormy data set. ?" Maybe you could. After listening to our latest episode with guest @theduncanclark, you probably won't, though.

Have you ever seen (or delivered) a concise "insight" that, in hindsight, you wish you could take back? You might have something in common with various mainstream media!

We sometimes get asked if we've got KPIs for the podcast. We do. We didn't discuss that on this episode, but our special guest could have!

This post was not written with the assistance of generative AI. But it probably could have been. We're just waiting for GPT-4o to get back to us with a data-driven recommendation that we change our process.
