The power of community in data

Finding your people in data can change everything. Not just for your career, but for your confidence, your learning, and your sense of belonging in the work.

In this episode of The View on Data, Jerrie, Faith, and Ric talk about what community has looked like for them across the data space, from Coalesce and local meetups to Slack groups, mentorship networks, and the (now legendary) era of Data Twitter.

They talk about:
• What "community" actually means in the data world, beyond networking
• Where to find your people, from conferences and meetups to online spaces
• Why mentorship is often "piecemeal" and skills-based, not one perfect guide
• How to ask for advice in a way that's specific, respectful, and effective
• How community ebbs and flows over time, and why that's normal
• The long-term value of relationships for thought partnership, support, and growth
