"A pirate flag beats a corporate headshot every time."

In this conversation, Bill Yost, a data analytics veteran (ex-Google) and accidental LinkedIn creator, comes on the show.

We discuss how he transitioned from a corporate auditor to a data storyteller who caught fraud with a single scatterplot, the story behind the pirate flag (🏴‍☠️) in his name, and his approach to using ChatGPT for content creation.

We also dive into how he handles trolls (the great "SQL vs. SQL" debate), why he believes commenting is a better growth lever than posting, and our "Good Idea / Bad Idea" segment covering everything from ads in dashboards to posting at 8:00 PM on a Saturday.

If you want to understand how to build a personal brand through satire, use data to tell better stories, or just want to know how to pronounce SQL, this episode is for you.
