The Data Storytellers Podcast S02E05: Alan Cruickshank, Head of Data @ tails.com

In the last few months of 2021 I was lucky enough to talk to Laszlo Mucsi at The Data Storytellers.

I think the only thing I’d add to the point I’m making here is that the kind of ‘courage’ I’m talking about at the end doesn’t need to be loud. Often courage is presented as just the knight on a horse leading the charge, but I think courage can also be a quiet confidence that doesn’t let an issue drop, or just asking the question that nobody is asking at the right time.

You can also find this episode out there on Podcast.app or wherever you get your podcasts (notably the history doesn’t go back this far on apply podcasts).
