I was very excited to have a conversation with today's guest. Al Bellamy () is the "the Marine who smiles at spreadsheets" He was an enlisted Marine who went to the dark side (kidding Al! ) As a part of that journey he turned around multiple underperforming units through the use of data analytics. If you own a business you need to hear how quality data can turn around your business! He is the creator of #LinkedINHardMode , a program to get transitioning Vets to create their personal brand on social media through authentic messaging.  He works tirelessly to show Vets that they can transition their skills from the service to a career in data analytics.  All in all this was a fascinating conversation that provided me with a ton of insight. I know you will find value in it as well.    As always you can connect with me via my website or on . In the last month my calendar has been very active with business owners looking for assistance with their business. You can schedule directly from my site.
