This week, YouTuber/Podcaster and Tableau Ambassador Nisar Ahmed!

Zach and Nisar discussed technical confusion with meeting platforms before sharing their experiences with podcast hosting, teaching, and content creation, highlighting how these activities led to personal growth and professional opportunities despite not always providing monetary compensation.

They emphasized the importance of soft skills in data careers, particularly stakeholder management and effective communication, which often distinguish successful professionals more than technical abilities alone.

The conversation concluded with reflections on managing client relationships, the value of mentorship, and the importance of taking chances for growth while adapting communication styles to different environments, especially in remote work settings.
