You've heard it said that Product Managers and Companies as a whole should be data-driven, but did you know that too much data isn't a good thing? It's like a good wine. The right amount leads to a good time, but having too much can leave you drunk and hungover. On today's episode, Emily Reid, Product Manager at AgeRate comes on the pod to share the difference between being data-driven and data-drunk and how the difference will impact your business.

  • Why the things that tick us off as PMs can be the best sources of innovation

  • The problems with over-tracking data
  • Why data cleanup is necessary over time as old data becomes irrelevant
  • Data only matters if it's relevant

  • How to leverage data to level up your career
  • How to lead up in your company and democratize data literacy
