Data has become the gold standard for decision-making — and we've covered the 5 data points that actually matter — with businesses relying heavily on metrics and KPIs to guide their revenue strategies. But is data the ultimate answer, or is there more to successful business operations?
This week, join Dan and Nick as they challenge the notion that more data always equals better decisions. Sharing insights from their experiences at PushPress and as gym owners, they discuss why over-reliance on data can lead to stagnation and why instinct, reflection, and real-world experience need to play a role alongside the hard numbers.
