Now You Can Know is a show by the founders of DataLamp (Chris Reynolds and Ben Hayden), where we document our journey of building data lakes, analytics, and data visualization to help companies measure what matters.
In this episode, Ben & Chris answer the question - "Why do Data Projects Fail?". The answer is multi-faceted, including a false belief that the project "should be easy," a lack of business-domain expertise or technical knowledge, the wrong development process, and false expectations around cost.

In this episode, Ben & Chris talk through a high-level overview of Data Lakes with several comparisons to everyday tools used in business. Data Lakes are comprised of Reports, Data Extracts, APIs, and even Database Change Data. All this data is then put into single, "golden" views that are easy to query - "Ask questions from." Users are then empowered to build visualizations and make high-quality business decisions from their data.
