I was inspired to start this podcast because you didn’t ask me to. Most people who reached out to me asking if I can teach them how to use data viz software or create a course on the latest data tool everyone is talking about.
It’s precisely because of these requests that I created a show dedicated to communication skills for data people because we obsess over technical skills and do not work enough on these other so-called “soft” skills. So I decided to create this podcast to help you hone these skills.
