In this episode, I’m joined by Avery Smith to talk about how to actually land a data job right now without getting ghosted by resume bots. He shares his SPN method: Skills, Portfolio, Networking. We get into how to build just enough skills, why personal projects matter way more than you think, and how to reach out without being weird. If you’re job hunting (or might be soon), this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m trying out a brand-new game called Next Question to help you sharpen your data storytelling skills by exploring the kinds of clarifying questions experts ask when facing challenges. I’m joined by Kat Greenbrook, author of The Data Storyteller’s Handbook, and together we tackle real-world scenarios and share what questions we’d ask to steer data storytelling projects in the right direction.

In this episode, I share the introduction of my book, Chart Spark, to inspire you to take the first steps towards a more fulfilling career, whether you’re trying to transition into dataviz or integrate more creativity into your work.

I’ll redefine what creativity means, share why you need it in your dataviz work, show you how to cultivate a powerful creative practice, and finally, I share my personal story of having a fractured career at age 30 and turning it all around — including what everyone’s calling the oh-so-relatable “trash can story”.
