Morgan joins us as a guest to talk about the big leap into entrepreneurship. We took a lot of live questions and chatted through the motivations to make the move, the timing feeling absolutely crazy, and how Morgan's been slowly building this through experimentation and LinkedIn posting.

David Cohen of Superposition joins us for a discussion on how he's positioning himself as "your favorite consultant's favorite consultant". We ended up taking a lot of live questions - thanks to the audience for a TON of engagement on this episode.

Jess Ramos of Big Data Energy, a top Voice on Linkedin, and cruise ship aficionado joins us to talk about SQL, AI, and how to get ahead in today's ever-changing technology landscape.

We welcome Tris Burns, a former global head of data who now works 1:1 with data leaders across multiple industries on data leadership strategies and careers. We talked about what makes a good analyst, how to manage ad-hoc requests, and the transition into a strategic partner.

We both grew our LinkedIn presence considerably this year. We debrief about all the things we learned about making it work on the platform.

Join us live for a convo with our role model, Mary Kate Stimmler about how to influence execs, win buy-in, and tell better data stories.

We decided to do a LinkedIn Live in June of 2025, where we talked about:

• Our first jobs, favorite Dashboard Confessional songs, and unpopular data opinions
• Our lightning fast intros
• A day in the life of a People Analyst
• Small moves that made big waves in our careers
• How to find a mentor
• How to use humor in the workplace
• Live questions!
