"There's a very big difference between what you say and the reality of how you behave, right? I was gonna say the same thing though, as Mo is like, they will say they want to be data driven. But when you bring it to them, it actually doesn't change their behavior," he says.

This topic was such a big deal that we managed to have no guests, and yet we had five people on the mic! Why? Because this episode doubles as a marker of a shift in the show itself. Beyond that, though, we had a lively discussion about how every business stakeholder professes to being committed to being data driven. That should make every stakeholder super easy to work with, right? And, yet, analysts often find themselves struggling to get on the same page with their counterparts due to the realities of the data: what it can and can't do and how it is most effectively worked with. Not a small topic! There were even pop quizzes (feel free to let us know how you'd score the answers)!
