If I’m going to listen to a data science and analytics expert for nearly an hour, that person better speak a language that I can understand and that is relatable. I got lucky and found that person, and his name is Jon Daniels of BambooHR. In this episode, he talks about data lakes, data warehousing, ETL, data governance, no intelligence, BI, and AI.

I have no desire to read books on ERP project planning and implementation. This is a topic where I believe we learn by doing and by listening to the sage advice of others. One such person is Ed Kless, the co-host of The Soul of Enterprise podcast. In this show, Ed talks about what we do before, during, and after ERP implementations.

I always jump at the opportunity to visit with CEOs as I come away from those discussions energized and a bit wiser. When I learned that I had the opportunity to interview the author of Profit Wise by Jeff Morrill, I jumped at the chance. Jeff and his brother co-founded Planet Subaru based in Boston. They call their business an undealership.

Some of my favorite words in the CFO lexicon are momentum, acceleration, velocity, drive, and even thrust. Coincidentally, Mike Berland is the author of Maximum Momentum – How to Get It, How to Keep It. And it’s those very words we focused on during our conversation. Mike is the founder of Decode_M, a research and analytics firm that decodes data into momentum for clients.
