The Fuss About Rod Hightower

What does a CEO really need from data? In this episode, John and Mark sit down with retired CEO Rod Hightower to explore the business side of the data table. Rod talks about the importance of truth and insight, the biases that can get in the way of both, and why data professionals need to understand the business they support.

We also visit the Bit Bucket, a bar that will serve up an Old Bandersnatch bourbon and lend an ear when it seems nobody understands you. Favorite sketches like the 8-Bit Consultants and the Data Poetry Slam return, as well as, by popular request, our original sponsor! Finally, we kick off a new series of Dispatches from Rock Bottom exploring what AI will, and will never, do.
