In this episode, I interviewed Kyle Pastor (aka @DataStuffPlus 70K followers on Instagram). We chatted about how Kyle got started with data, why he runs his Instagram, and why he does fun data projects. When breaking into data, it’s always important to have a portfolio of projects to show off, and who knows, these projects could turn into businesses, job offers, or sponsorship opportunities. You can follow Kyle’s writing and tutorials on his Medium. Also, don’t miss Kyle’s data viz Instagram. Want a free guide to get your data journey started? Get a free data roadmap here.
