Summary
Data isn't just dashboards — it's a reflection of decisions, politics, and organizational maturity.
In this episode, data veteran and Calon founder Nathan Jones joins us to cut through 25 years of consulting noise and tell you what "data-driven" actually means in practice.
For early career analysts, this is a masterclass in understanding why your most important skills have nothing to do with Power BI or SQL.
