There's actually there like five totally separate data products if you will some of them are in-house some of them we have bought but ultimately the goal is that that suite of tools tells us how we're performing from the measurement perspective. The people who are designing these products might think about this very differently and the people who are interacting with them as well, he says. "I want to give someone like an easy way in to doing these things"

Have you ever built a data-related "thing" — a dashboard, a data catalog, an experimentation platform, even — only to find that, rather than having the masses race to adopt it and use it on a daily basis, it gets an initial surge in usage… and then quietly dies? That's sorta' the topic of this episode. Except that's a pretty clunky and overly narrow summary. Partly, because it's a hard topic to summarize. But, data as a product and data products are the topic, and Eric Weber, the data scientist behind the From Data to Product newsletter, joined us for a discussion that we've been trying to make happen for months. It was worth the wait! For complete show notes, including links to items mentioned in this episode and a transcript of the show, visit the show page.
