John Giles is a legend in the data modeling world, having authored "Nimble Elephant" and "The Elephant in the Fridge," and written extensively on the topic. John and I discuss the power of using data model patterns, enterprise data modeling, "data town plans," and much more. It was an honor to chat with John, and I felt like I was conversing with someone who comes from a more advanced dimension than most data practitioners. You'll learn a ton from this discussion.
