Description:

What do colors, soup kitchens, and mountain climbing have in common? They're all part of the mental models that have shaped how we think about analytics, and they're exactly the kind of durable wisdom that matters more than ever in an age of AI slop. This campfire-style conversation among the co-hosts reveals the concepts, books, and aha moments that have stuck with us across decades of analytics work. From the magic of randomization to the critical distinction between outputs and outcomes, we share the frameworks that guide our thinking whether we're writing SQL by hand or asking Claude to do it for us. It turns out the most valuable analytics wisdom isn't about tools or techniques—it's about understanding how humans actually make decisions, build trust, and collaborate effectively. Some things never go out of style. For complete show notes, including links to items mentioned in this episode and a transcript of the show, visit the show page.
