Host Mike Vanderpool sits down with Louis Lane, a Toledo-based data professional, for a down-to-earth conversation about data, AI, and life in Northwest Ohio.

Together they explore:

• The difference between a data scientist, data engineer, and data professional

• How data powers AI (and why cutting through the hype matters)

• Why every career is becoming a data career

• Big questions around privacy, ownership, and representation

• Louis’ venture, MyVue, rethinking knowledge management for organizations

Along the way, Louis shares why he’s committed to building both his career and his community here in Toledo—highlighting the city’s culture, affordability, and growing tech scene.
