In this episode of the Data Career Podcast, Avery talks with his childhood friend, Paul Alstrom, about his journey into data analytics from a non-technical background.

Paul emphasises the importance of networking, understanding the business, and getting the requirements right at the start.

They also explore the day-to-day life of a data analyst, how to make yourself useful to the business, as well as how to manage senior stakeholders.
