Episode: 00321 Released on June 1, 2026 Description:  This week on Analyst Talk with Jason Elder, we celebrate six years of LEAPodcasts and Analyst Talk. Jason is joined by co-founder Mindy Duong for a candid conversation reflecting on more than 300 episodes, the evolution of the law enforcement analysis profession, and the lessons learned from building a volunteer-driven podcast community. Together they discuss generational perspectives in the workplace, annual reviews, mentoring, information sharing, survey results, future podcast initiatives, and the importance of preserving analyst stories for future generations.

The episode also provides a behind-the-scenes look at the podcast's growth since launching during the COVID era, including upcoming plans to explore professional associations beyond IACA and IALEIA, demystify vendor tools used by analysts, and expand educational content for the profession. As always, the show wraps up with a fan-favorite edition of "Don't Be That Analyst," featuring practical lessons and humorous reminders from listeners.

Whether you've been listening since Episode 1 or recently discovered the show, this anniversary episode is a celebration of the analyst community and everyone who has helped define the profession one episode at a time. 🎧 Listen, share, and keep talking! [Note:  Description produced by ChatGPT.]
