Is That a Weird Ingredient?

Digitas CEO says he's been working with some weird ingredients. He also has a silly story to share that will segue into talking about data. "I was visiting my mom recently in New Jersey and I came across an old my little pony lunchbox"

Speaker 1
Well,
Speaker 2
obviously, before we talk about your role at Digitas, I need to get at least one example of either a weird recipe or a weird
Speaker 1
ingredient. Oh gosh, weird recipe, weird ingredient. So I would say weird ingredient. I signed up for a CSA through a farm near my house and they give me every year of these like Japanese turnips. I forgot what they're called. It starts with an H, but anyway, they have this very like almost like a mushroomy texture and a very mild flavor. And so they're actually kind of hard to cook with because they know it's hard to bring out the flavor of them. So that would be probably one of the weirder ingredients that I have been working with at least recently.
Speaker 2
I just Googled it. It's hakure. It's it. I'm
Speaker 3
sure I
Speaker 2
butcher it. Did I butcher that? Is that I don't know.
Speaker 1
You're asking the wrong person. So I have
Speaker 3
a
Speaker 2
stupid story, silly story to share that I promise will segue us into talking about data. And it's a story I guess that harks back to when I was younger, but I was visiting my mom recently in New Jersey and I was rooting around in her basement and I came across an old my little pony lunchbox. And inside there was this little like hand written badge that was slipped inside a bit of plastic with a pin on it. Like I'd worn it. And I remembered what it was. It was from a class trip to the Liberty Science Center. We went on this mock space mission. So I have this vague memory of sitting at a control desk, like a fake mission control and punching a bunch of buttons. And and anyway, so the little badge had my name on it. And then it said job colon data. Like,
Speaker 3
I mean, I don't know.
