#275: The Modern Data...Job Search with Albert Bellamy 1:13:01

9d ago1:13:01

1:13:01

It’s a process few people genuinely enjoy, but it’s one which we all find ourselves going through periodically in our careers: landing a new job. We grabbed MajorData himself, Albert Bellamy, for a wide-ranging discussion about the ins and outs of that process: LinkedIn invitation etiquette (and, more importantly, effectiveness), how networking is …

#274: Real Talk About Synthetic Data with Winston Li 58:05

24d ago58:05

58:05

Synthetic data: it's a fascinating topic that sounds like science fiction but is rapidly becoming a practical tool in the data landscape. From machine learning applications to safeguarding privacy, synthetic data offers a compelling alternative to real-world datasets that might be incomplete or unwieldy. With the help of Winston Li, founder of Arim…

#273: Data Products Are... Assets? Platforms? Warehouses? Infrastructure? Oh, Dear. With Eric Sandosham 1:09:39

1M ago1:09:39

1:09:39

Is it just us, or are data products becoming all the rage? Is Google Trends a data product that could help us answer that question? What actually IS a data product? And does it even matter that we have a good definition? If any of these questions seem like they have cut and dried answers, then this episode may just convince you that you haven't tho…

#272: When the Metric is Calculated and Complex with Dan McCarthy 1:03:55

2M ago1:03:55

1:03:55

No matter how simple a metric's name makes it sound, the details are often downright devilish. What is a website visit? What is revenue? What is a customer? Go one level deeper with a metric like customer acquisition cost (CAC) or customer lifetime value (CLV or LTV, depending on how you acronym), and things can get messy in a hurry. In some cases,…

#271: It Might Be Irrational, but Let's Talk Behavioral Science with Dr. Lindsay Juarez 1:00:03

2M ago1:00:03

1:00:03

Data that tracks what users and customers do is behavioral data. But behavioral science is much more about why humans do things and what sorts of techniques can be employed to nudge them to do something specific. On this episode, behavioral scientist Dr. Lindsay Juarez from Irrational Labs joined us for a conversation on the topic. Nudge vs. sludge…

#270: AI and the Analyst. We've Got It All Figured Out. 1:01:10

3M ago1:01:10

1:01:10

We finally did it: devoted an entire episode to AI. And, of course, by devoting an episode entirely to AI, we mean we just had GPT-4o generate a script for the entire show, and we just each read our parts. It's pretty impressive how the result still sounds so natural and human and spontaneous. It picked up on Tim's tendency to get hot and bothered,…

#269: The Ins and Outs of Outliers with Brett Kennedy 1:08:19

3M ago1:08:19

1:08:19

How is an outlier in the data like obscenity? A case could be made that they're both the sort of thing where we know it when we see it, but that can be awfully tricky to perfectly define and detect. Visualize many data sets, and some of the data points are obvious outliers, but just as many (or more) fall in a gray area—especially if they're sneaky…

#268: You Get an Insight! And YOU Get an Insight! with Chris Kocek 1:07:14

4M ago1:07:14

1:07:14

Do you cringe at the mere mention of the word, "insights"? What about its fancier cousin, "actionable insights"? We do, too. As a matter of fact, on this episode, we discovered that Moe has developed an uncontrollable reflex: any time she utters the word, her hands shoot up uncontrolled to form air quotes. Alas! Our podcast is an audio medium! What…

#267: Regression? It Can be Extraordinary! (OLS FTW. IYKYK.) with Chelsea Parlett-Pelleriti 1:01:11

4M ago1:01:11

1:01:11

Why? Or… y? What is y? Why, it's mx + b! It's the formula for a line, which is just a hop, a skip, and an error term away from the formula for a linear regression! On the one hand, it couldn't be simpler. On the other hand, it's a broad and deep topic. You've got your parameters, your feature engineering, your regularization, the risks of flawed as…

#265: Connected Wellness in the Age of AI with Michael Tiffany 55:03

5M ago55:03

55:03

Every listener of this show is keenly aware that they are enabling the collection of various forms of hyper-specific data. Smartphones are movement and light biometric data collection machines. Many of us augment this data with a smartwatch, a smart ring, or both. A connected scale? Sure! Maybe even a continuous glucose monitor (CGM)! But… why? And…

#264: When the Analyst’s Toolbox Includes Assessing the Zeitgeist with Erika Olson 1:08:15

5M ago1:08:15

1:08:15

We all know that data doesn't speak for itself, but what happens when multiple instruments of measurement contain flaws or gaps that impede our ability to measure what matters on their own? Turning to our intuition and triangulation of what's happening in the broader macro sense can often help explain our understanding of our customers' ever-changi…

#263: Analytics the Right Way 1:06:18

6M ago1:06:18

1:06:18

Every so often, one of the co-hosts of this podcast co-authors a book. And by “every so often” we mean “it’s happened once so far.” Tim, along with (multi-)past guest Dr. Joe Sutherland, just published Analytics the Right Way: A Business Leader's Guide to Putting Data to Productive Use, and we got to sit them down for a chat about it! From misconce…

#262: 2025 Will Be the Year of... with Barr Moses 1:08:09

6M ago1:08:09

1:08:09

Every year kicks off with an air of expectation. How much of our Professional Life in 2025 is going to look a lot like 2024? How much will look different, but we have a pretty good idea of what the difference will be? What will surprise us entirely—the unknown unknowns? By definition, that last one is unknowable. But we thought it would be fun to s…

#261: 2024 Year in Review 1:03:33

7M ago1:03:33

1:03:33

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night, a podcast was started, 'neath the pale moonlight. There were few there to see (or listen), but they all agreed that the show that was started looked a lot like we. And here we are a decade later with a diverse group of backgrounds, perspectives, and musical tastes (see the lyrics for "Long Black Veil" if you mis…

#260: Once Upon a Data Story with Duncan Clark 1:00:08

7M ago1:00:08

1:00:08

Data storytelling is a perpetually hot topic in analytics and data science. It's easy to say, and it feels pretty easy to understand, but it's quite difficult to consistently do well. As our guest, Duncan Clark, co-founder and CEO of Flourish and Head of Europe for Canva, described it, there's a difference between "communicating" and "understanding…

#259: Dateline Data 1:01:30

8M ago1:01:30

1:01:30

There's data, data everywhere, including in the media! Data often gets collected, analyzed, published in a study, covered by a journalist, and then distilled down to a headline. The opportunities for lost-in-translation (or lost-in-simplification? Lost-in-summarization?) misfires are many. We tried an experiment—each of the available co-hosts broug…

#258: Goals, KPIs, and Targets, Oh My! with Tim Wilson 1:05:52

8M ago1:05:52

1:05:52

KPIs? Really? It’s 2024. Can’t we just ask Claude to generate those for us? We say… no. There are lots and lots of things that AI can take on or streamline, but getting meaningful, outcome-oriented alignment within a set of business partners as they plan a campaign, project, or initiative isn’t one of them! Or, at least, we’re pretty sure that’s wh…

#257: Analyst Use Cases for Generative AI 1:05:35

9M ago1:05:35

1:05:35

udging by the number of inbound pitches we get from PR firms, AI is absolutely going to replace most of the work of the analyst some time in the next few weeks. It’s just a matter of time until some startup gets enough market traction to make that happen (business tip: niche podcasts are likely not a productive path to market dominance, no matter w…

For the first time since they've been a party of five, all of the Analytics Power Hour co-hosts assembled in the same location. That location? The Windy City. The occasion? Chicago's first ever MeasureCamp! The crew was busy throughout the day inviting attendees to "hop on the mic" with them to answer various questions. We covered everything from f…

#255: Dear APH-y: Career Inflection Points 59:23

10M ago59:23

59:23

To data analyst, or to data science? To individually contribute, or to manage the individual contributions of others? To mid-career pivot into analytics, or to… oh, hell yes! That last one isn’t really a choice, is it? At least, not for listeners who are drawn to this podcast. And this episode is a show that can be directly attributed to listeners.…
