200: Data Team Struggles: Telling Stakeholders the Truth vs. What They Want to Hear (How to Tell The Truth, Tactfully)

This week on The Data Stack Show, it’s the next rendition of the Cynical Data Guy. Eric and John are joined by Matthew Kelliher-Gibson, the Cynical Data Guy, for their monthly discussion. They engage in a lightning round, analyzing various LinkedIn posts related to data and data science. Topics include data teams' transparency with stakeholders, simplifying complex data, generative AI's role in cultural adoption, and the impact of the "sexiest job of the 21st century" article on data science careers. The group also discusses the influence of "Moneyball" on data science perceptions, the importance of understanding data models, and more.
