Quotes of the Episode:
"I clumsily use the term of like of product managers are like grout sometimes, just like filling gaps between things when there's nothing better to fill it with." - Barry
"Learning the business model, revenue model, underlying tech architecture and how people and data flow through the system gives you such a great foundation for any business you come into, it's the three number one onboarding things probably people should do when they join" - Barry
"My preferred way of working is a hub and spoke model where you have a central team, but the analysts within that team are dedicated to the different products, squads or teams. And they can always come back together and sort of like share ideas and learn off one another and really grow and elevate the analytics function." - Bhav
