Podcast Your Data

If it takes a village, our village is lucky enough to have current and former Ambassadors and Zen Masters. Which is fortunate, because, in this episode, they dive into all the ways you can and why you should get involved in the Tableau community. You know, if you're into Tableau. And if you're listening here, you've at least heard of Tableau. From forums to blogs to social media, our panel is Social Media Ambassador David Pires, former Tableau Forum Ambassador Derrick Austin and former Zen Master Robert Rouse. They talk about their experiences in getting started, getting help and getting ahead with help from the Tableau Community. AND if that isn't enough, Mat Hughes sits down with Patrick Van Der Hyde, Tableau Community Support Manager, to get the inside scoop on the Community.

Story time with Lego! Today's episode delves into the problem with averages and how one can gain interesting insight by deconstructing the outer layers – something that kids are notoriously good at by asking the 5 Why's (though we're pretty sure they don't mean it in the same way). We also jump into several books and have our first book review. Algorithms to Live By by Brian Christian & Tom Griffiths

Magic is what happens when our panel gets together. Magic and gold.
