Ep38: Be Analytics-Led not Data-Driven; w/ Mark Stouse Founder & CEO @ Proof Analytics — Product Market Fit podcast

There is a huge difference between being data-driven, which honestly is like saying, I make all my decisions based on the past, and being analytics led, which is, saying, I make my decision based on how things are actually operating now in a cause-and-effect relationship. In this episode, I sit down with Mark Stouse Founder & CEO of Proof Analytics. Mark shares his experience on the importance of data-driven decision-making in B2B marketing, his thoughts on the limitations of AI, and the importance of human intuition in data analysis.
