Let’s talk about society’s data issue. In today’s world, we’ve got a bunch of things that should be happening with our data that aren't and a bunch of things that shouldn't be happening with our data that are. When it comes to skills, why isn’t our data more readily accessible to us? Why should we have to pay our colleges and educational institutions for copies of our transcripts and degrees? Matt Gee, data scientist, and CEO at BrightHive joins Kelly to discuss what liberating skills data would do for the future of learning and work.  

Matt believes that liberating skills data will allow a lot more people to be gainfully employed, loving what they do.
