This week’s episode is with one of my favorite data experts and thought leaders in the industry and I’m so excited to release it to you all. For EP 22, I sat down with none other than Tristan Handy, CEO and founder of dbt Labs. If you’re a dbt user (or a member of their massive online community), you probably know of Tristan, especially if you’re also subscribed to his newsletter, The Analytics Engineering Roundup (co-written by the also-awesome Anna Filippova). In the episode, we take a deep dive into the role community plays in pushing the data industry forward, inspiring us all to do better, and educating the next generation of data experts to pick up our torch. Don’t worry, we also dive into some nerdy, technical topics (including the subject of Tristan’s last newsletter: the semantic layer).
