In the second half of our conversation with retired CEO Rod Hightower, John and Mark dig deeper into what it means for an executive to trust data. Rod shares hard-earned lessons about recognizing bias, understanding what information actually represents, building trust between business and data professionals, and knowing when to say, "I don't know." We also explore the very real cost of getting data wrong.
An old friend visits the Bit Bucket and meets some new friends that may already seem familiar. And, of course, we have the 8-Bit Consultants, Data Poetry Slam, and best of all, Rod plays our Famous Game Show.
