Now, he works with business owners to turn their flat data into beautiful visual representations to make analyzing and understanding the data so much easier. This was a really fun conversation to have and it seriously inspired me with the possibilities. Listen in for ideas on how to turn that flat data into something more.

Key Thoughts:
The truth of the matter is, we needed to know the numbers when the pandemic hit, but we needed to know the numbers well before then. Michele (04:12)
The people, who knew their numbers, were able to quickly pivot their business and to make decisions, sound decisions. Michele (05:31)
My little tagline for it is combining the art of the gut instinct and the science of data. Both are totally necessary. Jack (08:57)
A pretty picture is great. But if you don't know what it's telling you, that's a whole other issue. Jack (23:48)
We can then actually look at and analyze the data, which is where your solution comes in to help us take that data, pull it off the page, and create it in a visual, beautiful, branded way. Michele (52:11)
