Given that this is the 10th episode of the Dear Analyst podcast, I thought it would be relevant to reflect on how I got started with KeyCuts and joined various Excel communities. I never thought I’d make it to 10 episodes, but here we are!

Excel communities

Like many online communities, I got started with the Excel community by connecting with a few bloggers who wrote about Excel back in the day. I then started attending meetups and events like Modeloff, and international financial modeling competition (read some of my previous blog posts about Modeloff here). Initially KeyCuts started as a company to sell a keyboard cover product, but it eventually transformed into freelance consulting gigs, creating blog posts and YouTube content, and more recently the Dear Analyst podcast.

Other podcasts

In the 2nd half of the episode, I talk about some episodes from other podcasts I found interesting:

* Acquired: Season 4 Episode 4 – The Lyft IPO* Software Engineering Daily: Bubbles with Haseeb Qureshi
