Welcome to the show notes! 🎉 I always put interesting things in the show notes, so make sure you check them every episode!
In today's podcast episode, I'll be sharing a recording of a seminar I gave this week to about 50 undergraduate students, specifically in the chemical engineering program at the University of Utah.
I'll be talking about: 1) what I wish I knew while I was in college and trying to break into data science 2) how data science can be applied in industrial systems and engineering
Although this was given to a live audience, I do think a lot of the advice you might find applicable to you and your situation.

In this episode, I interviewed Kyle Pastor (aka @DataStuffPlus 70K followers on Instagram). We chatted about how Kyle got started with data, why he runs his Instagram, and why he does fun data projects.
When breaking into data, it’s always important to have a portfolio of projects to show off, and who knows, these projects could turn into businesses, job offers, or sponsorship opportunities.
You can follow Kyle’s writing and tutorials on his Medium.

Here are some of the topics we covered in this episode… warning, we covered quite a bit.
Data books recommendations, an update on my complete data science bootcamp, and what background is best for data science (spoiler: all backgrounds are welcome), is data getting oversaturated, and how to get a job with no experience.
With that being said, we are at 742 downloads. I’m really excited to hit 1,000. If you could just pause for 30 seconds and think of anyone you know that could benefit from this podcast, and share it with them, I would love you forever.

Super exciting episode today. I got to interview Scott Taylor - The Data Whisperer. What a cool guy. We talked about data governance and data management. What are they? What does that even mean? We talked about Scott’s decades of experience in the data industry and how his use of branding has helped him build his career.
I’m always impressed with Scott’s branding. Let’s start with his name; the data whisperer. Great slogan, catchy, gives you an idea of what he’s about. Then there’s his truth hat, and we talk about that in the episode, and then he has puppets.

We talk about Matt’s journey from chemical engineering to working at Intel Micron and becoming a data scientist, and finally switching into FinTech and becoming a data engineer.

This is probably my favorite Ask Avery show of all time, at least of the last few months. We had some folks show up live to ask questions. Ricardo and Quincy asked awesome questions and it was so fun to talk to them face to face. We talked about how to stand out in getting a job in data with Ricardo. And Quincy asked about my opinion on bootcamps. We then took two written questions from Robert and Adnan. They asked about a structured plan for data science as well as how to know if you like data science.
I’m going to be ending the giveaway for the podcast rate and review. Please if you have one second and are on apple podcasts, please give us a review as it really helps the show. I’ll be choosing two random people to get shout outs on my linkedin as well as the podcast.

The first official interview of the data career podcast! It was right after out launch party for the podcast and it was with the awesome. Thom Ives was our guest. Be sure to follow him on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomives/. Total stud. Love the guy. Seriously so nice. We talked about his long career in data and his transition from engineering to data science.
That is the way to become a data scientist, you do data science before the role is ever assigned you. Don’t forget that.
I do want to also apologize for my tech issues on this episode. I somehow unplugged my nice mic for my audio, and my headphones weren’t working to listen to Thom’s. That being said this audio is NOT the best. I am super sorry.
There's also a giveaway going on for the pod, all you need to do is rate and review on Apple Podcasts.

My computer had to reset and it took hours so I ended up having to do this one from my phone. I covered what my favorite business and data books are, and the importance of data projects and a personal portfolio.

Today’s episode is a conversation I had with Dustin Schimek who is the director of analytics at the master lock company. He had me on his LinkedIn live to talk about what Python is, why it is important, how to get started, and other random stuff.
We chatted for about 50 minutes. Hope you enjoy.

Welcome to the Data Career Podcast. This podcast is for you! It is to help you, inspire you, motivate you, educate you, entertain you. It is all about YOU. And then it’s all about data. How to use it. Where to get it. What to do with it. Ect. Whether you’re trying to get into data, or you’re already there and want to learn more, or if you just want to connect to the community more. This podcast is for you.
Episodes will contain a few formats, and may evolve over time. To start now, there will be clips from the Ask Avery Show. If you haven’t heard about this, this is a weekly “Ask Me Anything” show I do where people can ask me anything they want. It can be data related, career related, LinkedIn related, whatever! Everything is fair game and I try to be as honest, helpful, and transparent as possible.
Next, there will be interviews I do with other data professionals telling their story on how they broke into data and how they got started. I’m so excited for these! I’m really looking forward to them. Finally there will be random episodes of me just talking about something I’m passionate about or something that could help you in your career.
I’m going to try to release episodes frequently as I know I appreciate when podcasts come out often. That’s just more fun. I’m not going to do too many edits, just keep things low tech, raw, and fast. It’s going to be a great podcast and I think you’re really going to enjoy it. See you soon in future episodes!
