One of the things that gets us up in the morning is helping people solve problems. David Pires kicks off a series of interviews we're calling "Why We Do What We Do" with Sian Davies, who leads the enablement practice for EMEA. Because we believe that if you're not learning, you're not growing.

It's something that keeps us all up at night – will the robots take over tomorrow? Okay, maybe you don't worry about it. And neither does Daniel Whitenack.

Daniel is a data scientist, professor, podcaster, and innovator in the space of artificial intelligence and machine learning. And today he's talking with Robert about some of the big questions in AI, including, yes, will the robots take over? (SPOILER: not any time soon). You can find Daniel at his website – https://datadan.io – his Twitter @dwhitena or on his podcast Practical AI.

A little change of pace this show. Today, Robert talks with Henry Zhu, one of the core maintainers of Babel, about open source and what it means for people and software, community, and development. They even talk about some real-time visualizations with Pokemon and the Super Bowl.

This week's podcast takes it back to Tableau Conference 2018. InterWorks analytics practice lead Ben Bausiliinterviews Katie Wagner, a lead Tableau trainer, about the week in her beloved home state of Louisiana. She unpacks her TC18 experience, including Brain Dates with data experts, some of her favorite sessions, like Fanalytics, and shares her excitement about TC19 in Las Vegas. If you want to hear someone talk about New Orleans and its goodness, Katie is that person. Trust us.

The podcast heads back to Singapore with Jia to talk to Duane Pierce. Duane started the Singapore Tableau User Group, so you could say he knows what he's talking about. Jia goes behind the visualizations to learn about Duane, how he got started in data AND how he got to SE Asia. For you foodies, Duane highly recommends Japan. Duane also shares his thoughts on the best way to grow your skills and getting involved in the data community, including #MakeoverMonday. Oh, and Duane is a Master Diver as well. NBD.

You want your hard work to get noticed, right?

When it comes to designing visualizations and dashboards, getting your work noticed and making it useful have typically come with some sort of sacrifices on both sides.

During Tableau Conference 2018, where are you inspired to make your vizzes more useful and more eye-catching?

Our fantastic guests are: – Sarah Bartlett and Lorna Eden – Lindsay Betzendahl and Vince Baumel about Fanalytics – Lilach Manheim – Mike Cisneros – and Joshua Smith

Who doesn't love a little magic? Many of us at InterWorks are HUGE fans of Disney. So when we heard about Disney Data and Analytics Conference, we knew it was one we had to check out. Ben and Robert graciously and humbly volunteered to be our warthogs guinea pigs and they had a blast. Of course, Disney can't just put on a conference. No. They made it a whole experience. Listen in as you get to live vicariously through Ben and Robert and hear all about how to make your data roar!
