The Sequel Show

The importance of the persuasive data team w/ Benn Stancil, chief analytics officer & co-founder @ Mode

In today’s episode, I talk with Benn Stancil, chief analytics officer & co-founder at Mode. Honestly, this might be my favorite episode of the Show to date. We had a hearty discussion about data teams and Benn's perspective as someone who started his career as an analyst with an economics degree. Our conversation turned to more philosophical notes around what makes a data professional persuasive (and why that matters), why being wrong is OK (and sometimes a pivotal part of a successful career), and the function of data teams in organizational decisions.
