You want to be able to find those insights that you can glean that are going to have different uses for different people at different times.
A marketer who's selling a product is going to want a different kind of information to somebody who just wants to understand why there are flight cancellations today in the news, for instance.
So I think that for me, that's always been my kind of motivation has been getting those stories out to the data and making it easy for people to understand and more accessible.
I think that's really true.
I think that, look, in any organization, lots of people who get anxious about data.
It was true when I was in the newsroom.
And I'm sure it's true everywhere now because people get by numbers.
And I think the strength of data storyteller is being able to kind of see all of that mess and pull out the gems that are going to
change something for you.
Now, if you're a business, it's changing something that helps you make more money.
If you're a journalist or a storyteller, it's changing something in the way that people understand the story.
But yeah, I think it's still like that skill of being a data storyteller is different.
It's different to analytics.
It's different to statistics.
It's communication.
And it's a whole kind of skill set in itself, for sure.
I think it's hard for people to imagine what's possible.
What I mean by that is I'll often get asked, oh, well, are there demographics in Google Trends data?
And there aren't demographics.
All we have is location by city and time.
