April 28, 2022 103: Improving The Report Request Process
This is from a hot take online: https://twitter.com/WeHateData/status/1509538551993716736
Lukewarm take: nearly all request-based analytics workflows are destined to fail.
It burns out talented analysts. It fails to connect related cross-org themes. The lack of friction to ask a question leads to poor quality questions from stakeholders.
You can imagine the conversation, one of best!

April 26, 2022 104: Dealing with Data Silos In Power BI
(Note that we messed up on the live stream, so episode 103 is coming out on Thursday, you did not miss it!)
We all love Power BI for the solution it provides to manage and incorporate mass amounts of data from multiple sources to create a true model that transforms the business.
HOWEVER, what happens our organization buys into their own solution? And it doesn't just have be another BI solution. What about different CRM's, management platforms, with their own "data"?
The guys discuss their stories and what we in the BI space need to worry and focus on to help bridge the gaps.

About Explicit Measures Podcast

From the publisher's feed

Hosted by Mike Carlo, and Tommy Puglia, the Explicit Measures Podcast is a Power BI focused show that is like being around a Power BI Pro’s Water Cooler. With so many available resources in the community that focuses on the “how” in Power BI (how to do Drill Through, how to use DAX, etc.,), the Explicit Measures Podcast is all around the WHY. Why use a particular feature, does it make sense for my users?
