**Data Driven**

Data Driven: the podcast where we explore the emerging field of Data Science. We bring the best minds in Data, Software Engineering, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence right to you every Tuesday.

The field of data science mashes up the worlds of statistics, database architecture and software engineering. Data Scientist has been labelled by the Harvard Business Review, as “the sexiest job of the 21st century.” A quick search of job search sites reveal that this field is in high demand.

In a world where Data is the new Oil, Data Science the new Refineries, consider this Car Talk for the Data Age. Every week we bring the best minds in this emerging field straight to you. Our goal is to educate and inspire our listeners so that they can be prepared to thrive in a Data Driven world.

Hello and Welcome to data driven the podcast where weexplore the emerging field of data science.We bring the best minds in data software engineering machinelearning and artificial intelligence now hear your hosts Frank Lavignaand Andy Leonard.Hello and welcome back to data driven the podcasts arewe explore the emerging field.Some data science machine learning and artificial intelligence.If you’d like to think of data as the newoil and you can consider us Car Talk because wefocus on where the rubber meets Virtual Road and withme as ever on this epic road trip down theinformation superhighway.Can I fill us up with more data cliches Andyis emulated?How you doing? I’m doing great Frank?How are you? I’m doing alright?I’m doing alright so you had a birthday last week?Thank you yes? Yes, I made another trip around thesun.Yeah, yeah, you know statistics show that the more birthdays.You have the longer you live that you know,I wonder. Though if it’s one of those false.Corollary’s just just not sure is that false positive.I don’t know. I think it’s a useless correlation.I was looking for how describing the same thing justin different terms.That’s true. We’ve sound smart when we throw these wordsaround.I need all the help I can get sound insmaller.I’m just saying so last week.We had the jihadis show kicking off season 3.Let’s see 02 of season 3 and.We’ve had a lot of good feedback with that JLDhimself actually treated the.The.The episode. Lydia Oh wow,I was super excited with to hear that.We also announced speaking of super excited.I’m doing a play on super we announced the dataSoup Summit and so that’s a virtual summit that wereput together data soupsummit.com if I’m correct and coming upin. We’re recording this on the 29th of July 2019and it’s coming up in just under 16 days interestingconcept.Now we’re having people record their sessions an it’s fora couple reasons.One is it’s the middle of the night in someof the places where the authors live so the presenterswill be probably be asleep when we’re playing their recording,but we’re setting up forms and stuff like that,for questions and we’re just trying something new,and differentso.com. And if you sign up before August 5th.Then you will get a discount if you use 70%discount if you use the code data driven?And beyond that, you’ll get a 50%discount because we love our list.We absolutely do. They’re the greatest listers of our podcastever?I would say totally totally speaking of funny correlation?Or redundant correlations, maybe that’s that’s the phrase,We’re looking for but I think one of the oneof the key advantages here people like well?Why are you doing a virtual summit one we cankind of recruit talent from around the world and wecan do it now as opposed to some distant pointin future when if we do hit the Lotto orwhatever.Well, you now we talked about this.A little bit. Indiana first show last week when wedid organizing it was a lot of that was coordinatingwhen people were available and.And that sort of stuff and you’re competing nowadays inyou know against all of these other events that areout there in the calendar.Just keeps growing with all of these events that peoplewant to attend that we can have folks record theirsession.We can play it back and then jump in themiddle and do commentary and what have you and thenwe can actually compile those recordings and people can ata later date sign up and listen to the recordingso there’s a lot to like about this.I think it solves a couple of particularly nasty organizationalproblems.And I love it and I love our guest ifyou go today to seesummit.com you can see the peoplethat are speaking in this first one.There always is in my opinion,so looking forward to doing more of these we haven’ttalked about our future plans for these much.But we’re going to talk about those after we getthrough with this one that’s right.We want to get the first one.The result and kind of see how it goes.We are using somebody elses software as a solution platform?Which. It’s always easier to find the flaws and somebodyelse is software,it necessary. It’s almost like that’s a universal pattern ofhumanity.I don’t know splinters and planks and all that.But with that. Let’s get onto our guest ’cause.I hear he’s a pretty awesome guy.I’ve heard his name come up quite a bit withthe work.You’ve done and some other places always in respectful tonesjust.With that out, there just engaged.I’ll send you send you that dollar by PayPal.Later, you work with them more closely want you dothe intro Andy.Well, I’m not totally wing.This introduction our guest today from sunny San Diego.California is Brent Ozar and I consider Brenda Friend.No matter what he says about Maine.We met actually we met on Twitter and I wantto say it was 2007.Something like that, and around 2008 or 9.I landed in Seattle for a pass summit aunt,we did. I think I actually used my phone itmay be the first week.I sent on my phone had said you know,I’m at the airport is anybody want to share aride or something like that,and Brett comes back and says.Hey, I gotta car. I’ll come get back.We pick me up and we rode from the Seatacdowntown Seattle.How to great conversation. If I remember right you willfind this ironic people who follow both their blogs.These days at the time.Brent was just getting started with this blog and hewas actually picking my brain for ideas.That’s ironic now ’cause Brent is he’s a master ofmarketing through and Anna Master or Microsoft.Certified Master SQL DBA. He was an MVP I thinkyou stepped away from the Microsoft MVP program.Yeah. I did that and then I jump back inso but great guy brentozar.com.ZAR is those are if you don’t know who Brentis he’s he’s very popular in our community.Great Speaker One and in Japan,too great. Great speaker, handsome fella helper of folks withdatabase problems walk with the shell.Brett I gotta cut us where you really get intotrouble and so we’re going to regret.Well, thank thank God it is totally a pleasure tohear thanks guys.It’s funny hearing that big long winded introduction.I’m like OK now seriously.There are people who are important and worthy of that.I am not well. You’ve got engineers to season.I tell people that all the time is same way.It’s like we think the stuff we know is worthvery little and stuff.Others know that we don’t know well.That’s like millions and it’s just a hard thing,but you have done an awful lot you sold out.Pass Summit Pre Conference sessions,yet and presented all over the world.The marketing is not to be not to be besmirched.That’s that’s really important an I am I cannot snatchthe Pebble from your hands.I did might I think when I talk to somany people about what you’re going to do for yourcareer and what your long term perspectives look like thething I can’t say enough to people is that youalready know enough technically you have enough technical knowledge toget the job done for a long time in yourcareer. It’s that not enough.Other people know you know that more people.No need to know what you know you need toget out there on the blogs social media whatever inorder to say.Here’s the stuff that good at but Frank about hereare the areas where I don’t have expertise yet.But if you want to pay me,I’ll go learn those things.But these are the little areas where I presented expertiseon and if you want to save time you canhire me and avoid the same burn marks that I’vegot.Yeah, absolutely I think that’s that’s the marketing pieces.What makes careers so much more stronger.The difference between y’all sitting out there on the otherside of the podcast those of you who are hearing.The difference that it’s going to make to get onto the other side of the microphone to become podcastguests to start sharing your knowledge,a user groups. That’s when your career really hits thegas it’s bananas.Now that’s absolutely true, I can speak from personal experienceis that the more you share the more you getand you know it’s just we’ve gotten a lot ofwe put a lot into the podcast.But I think we’ve got a lot more out ofit,then we put in its especially so important.In this day and age where tools are changing continuouslytechniques are changing continuously and it’s so easy to siton the sidelines and go well.Everything I’m learning is just via googling.That same as everybody else out here,we’re all learning this stuff and building the tools asfast as we can.Is that all you have to do is jump intake the plunge and start giving back to people allthe sudden,it just makes a huge difference.Absolutely and people shouldn’t think that you know just becausesomebody’s else is already doing it that they shouldn’t tryit themselves.Because you’re going to bring your own unique voice rightso one of the things that I’d like to pointout is that?Podcasting’s been around since at least 20042 thousand 5.Yeah, there’s a number of podcasters that have started youknow as recently as 23 years ago and I’ve hadenormous success.You know if you look at John Lee Dumas rightlike I forget what he makes like 100 thousand dollarsa month or something like that.On this podcast or whatever and he only started in2012.This is not there is not so much,saying such thing as being kind of too late forthis.It’s just like musicians or poets or artists or anythinglike well.Why would I write a love song in the year2019.Everybody’s already covered love extensively.You know it’s it’s all about what you bring toit,and how you can bring things to life that sooner.There’s going to be somebody who’s waiting to hear theway you’re going to bring it to life.That’s going to be different.Now we are not by any means,saying that you should go start podcasting about love,but you know in terms of data or development oranything like that.The market is wide freaking open get out there andshare what you know,so, so true. And you’ve encouraged a lot of peoplethrough your blog Brent to begin blogging you’ve gone beyondthat,at times. You’ve I remember your week of starting ablog.I still send people to that series and it waswritten years ago,but it’s still relevant and it’s just really good advice.Thanks, it’s tough for us his data people too becauseI like I’m so for background on me.I got started in development when into systems administration,then gradually segued into database administrator.When you’re a data person and you’re looking at likewebsite.Analytics of the people who are reading.You and it’s 0000 for 6 months that disheartening butyou just remember sooner or later.You’re going to help people in those numbers are goingto start becoming larger.It’s just like starting a company or anything else startingyour career.The numbers were tiny when you started your career inthe beginning,you’re like, Oh my God.Can’t believe I’m actually getting paid to do this andthen generally overtime.Later, it starts. It’s not just about numbers.It’s also I think it’s just the weirdest things likeI would write about how to do HTTP posts likescreen scraping and you WP apps and then somebody wouldcome up to me like I read your post.It was awesome. I’m like OK like wow.So somebody other than my mom read it.If you always took my thumb.I thought initially when people would start saying there is.Like why didn’t you leave a comment?Why did he tell me what ’cause

I kept the title enterprise DNA forthose not in the know not Edna like Dame Ednathanks.Yes, not the insurance company but enterprise data and analyticsand.Yeah, we are I work there Frank works at Microsoft.Yep, which wasn’t the case during the whole podcast journeyactually.Uh I had been riffed for Microsoft ’cause.They basically said move to Seattle or else and Irejoined.But 18 months ago. Awesome has it been that longwow well April so.Yeah, well still fit OK 15 months,he was 89 since the job opportunity was like firstpresented to me.Right right so it’s been an interesting it’s been interestingjourney.I’m now they changed our titles for this upcoming fiscalyear.Microsoft fiscal year goes from July 1st to June 30th.I am now a cloud solution architect.Congratulations.I. I like that title better because it’s easier toexplain it party.My cloud solution architect oh OK,it’s cloud its architect. Where before I was a technologysolutions professional which?Requires a bit of a follow-up sentence or 2 wellit’s vague.Yeah, it is vague so.It’s nice to have something that is.Yeah, it’s funny ’cause throughout my tenure at Microsoft.I’ve always had those kind of weird hard to explaintitles like evangelist.Right you right straight folks like you and gathered 99%of our listeners.We get we know what Evangel says right writing,but to normal people. They don’t necessarily like what liketelevangelists right like like religious religious right?That’s not quite like that,Well, you weren’t although some would argue maybe it is.Well II know you’ve always had a passion for communityfor those who don’t know that I don’t know thatwe’ve ever told the back story Frank.Back story you and I when we first met itwas,it was November of 2005.I know that and I remember that because the netrichmond.netusers group was just getting going or getting re going.I’m not sure. We’d kind of so when I movedto Richmond from New Jersey I had.Wanted to restart the group,yeah, and by the time November happened.We had a pretty good momentum going on.I think you were there when we were at ourtemporary location and we ended up taking up 2 conferencerooms,which was about twice the size of the group thatwe expected.Wow, Yeah. And I was talking about starting up aRichmond SQL Group.And EDU Dot E. Who was the developer evangelist forthe area at the time suggested I meet you?Very cold and I think I told you like yeah,just sent him on by you know,I’ll be here so.And he did an II popped in an gosh whowas I’m trying to remember the guys name.It was be. I think it was from New Jersey.I want to scale Castro.It was Miguel Yes, and I didn’t come down.Yeah, that was a fantastic presentation.I had no idea who he was at the time.Uh. But he is an awesome presenter,He really is as very smart guy,very impressive. Just just all around and we also Idistinctly remember meeting Nick Harris at that meeting as well.Oh really yeah. Yeah, so we were all just wewere all kind of Newish to the Richmond area.I was born in Richmond.But I had lived in Jacksonville,Florida for the previous 3 and a half years.Anne I wish I’d gotten into community.Now there I really didn’t know much about the technicalcommunity.Although I lived in the area.You know in the Richmond metropolitan area.You know before I moved down to Florida,but It was it was very interesting an?You know, I kind of caught the bug and Ithink you and I were both at a spot inour lives where we had a little bit of extratime and we were both very passionate about this wholeidea of community so we dove in.Now absolutely and it’s funny,you mentioned Miguel because Miguel and andem sack.I think at the time.He was known as Don XML,where the guys that got me interested in community whenI lived in New Jersey.Cool, so cool, so which actually I think leads usto kind of our next topic.One of our themes if you will,for the year. ’cause now there were 3 seasons in22 and a half years,maybe? Yeah, yeah in this season was a bit delayed,but it’s not been delayed as long as of Rickand Morty season,so count your blessings sitting at Barlow.I love Rick and Morty so much love to harmand I forgot.The other guys name, but anyway,so one of the things I think we want towant to kick off on is.2 things one is inspiration like what inspired us likeyou know what?What inspired us to get into data.What can we do to inspire others.It’s kind of pay it forward.You know like what inspired us to get into this?What inspired us to stay in this and how canwe pass that onto our listeners.I think that’s really? I think that’s what gets usup in a day and keeps up late at night.And uh absolutely and then the other side of that.The other topic that I think bleeds into it iskind of takes into account our profession is tech intenseit.Right and tech intensity is one of those newfangled termsthat if you watch the inspire keynote.Last week and internally we’ve been using that a lottech intensity,which is basically.Helping shit helping spread the knowledge of Technology,too.More people like basically turning up our technology skills justturning it up A notch.Actually, maybe we don’t like these other things that we’reseeing but whatever it is that there were passionate aboutpositively or negatively.We share that exactly we just exactly it’s kind oflike a correlation measurement right like if it’s the closer.It is to zero. There’s no correlation.But the closer. It is to -1,+1, there’s either negative correlation or a positive correlation?How’s that for geeking out?I like that. That’s got data science written all overit.It’s almost like it’s a podcast or not data science,which you do want so I think really the keyhere is and what’s really cool is over the past.Over the past 6 months.We both have had challenges you know in terms ofdeaths in the family.My wife was half, collage,she’s OK now that’s really what kind of is delayedthe season from coming out,but also was part of that I managed to aspart of my job is go and.Go through an actually. How people come up to mewhen I’m presenting at a customer site like how?Yeah, I love to show you know like tell AndyI said hi.You know it, yeah, yeah that happens to me withcool.It’s like you know it’s not just my mom listening.You know, and it’s not like AI.Bots that I program. I don’t actually have that,but it’s actually something. Wait people are listening to andwe’re appreciate that we really appreciate that is so true.Well then II’ll just I’ll say ’cause now I knowFrank.You said all of this up so I’m not stealinganybody’s Thunder hear Frank did all the work once again.Frank did all the work.But we have 4 season 3 for this kickoff.We have a really cool.Guest all of our guests have been cool.I’ve said this before they are awesome.But this guest is a little higher visibility and somecircles that maybe not.Our other guests have been as high visibility in anthat’s.That’s a big tease. I’m gonna do.Frank I’m gonna let you take it from there andwaited.This inspiration theme. I want to share with you allwith our listeners.The guy who inspired me to podcast.His name is John Lee Dumas,he runs a podcast called entrepreneur on fire.It’s an award winning podcast where he interviews.Inspiring entrepreneurs, who are and his words on fire.An he has over 2000 episodes.If anyone posts more content on the Internet than me.It’s probably him 1,000,000 plus listeners a month,7 figures from his podcast of annual revenue.He’s known to his fans,is just JLD. And he’s just getting started.He’s he’s doing a lot of great stuff,he’s actually been in 2 movies.Documentaries not like Avengers or anything like that,but that is 2 more documentaries that I’ve been in.So you know much props to him and he’s beencontinual source of inspiration.You can better shut off my Alexa because soon asI start talking about her.She will start playing it.But if he actually has a flash briefing on AmazonAlexa.So if you want to do it.You could just ask play entrepreneur on fire right.He is a genius. He is a veteran you servedour country in Iraq.He is awesome, because he he’s just very inspirational.He has a program called Podcasters Paradise,which we kind of talked about.A lot in terms of the training that I did.We always mentioned the training.The Frank dude? Absolutely, you kind of help get thepodcast going?Yeah, this guy sounds pretty cool who were talking aboutoh it’s some gardening.John Lee Dumas.

Thank you for inviting me.I’m looking forward to hanging out with.You too, for a little while so Welcome to theshow.For those that don’t know.He just mentioned that you were in 2 documentaries oneof which I just got the email about today.Do you want to talk about that age of theentrepreneur it was a documentary that features 24 pretty successfulentrepreneurs and I mean,this team put in the work I mean,they actually flew down 2.Puerto Rico with a full team with the full videocrew.We recorded all day I mean,it was a definite production.It was a couple of years ago,the filming. I mean, this takes a long time forthese higher production movies to kind of obviously make the?Progress from conception to reality and it was really coolto see it come out and to sit down towatch it and to see people like Les Brown RussellBrunson T Harv Ecker Jenna Cucheron,just a ton of other successful entrepreneurs be apart ofit and think it’s really going to move the needlefor some people awesome.I was excited just watching the trailer cool well.I can drop a quick link for people to askis it still free to watch it won’t be forever,but EOfire.com slash.

*DataPoint* Amazon to Retrain Its Employees. Why That’s Big Deal. Jul 19, 2019

Show notes

Recently, Amazon announced that it will spend $700 Million (USD) to retrain its employees. Why are they doing this? Simple: automation. They know that a displaced workforce would be bad political mojo at a time when the giant is facing increasing calls for regulation, even potential anti-trust action.

Anti-trust laws in the US were made largely in reaction to the Standard Oil Company and its founder John D. Rockefeller.

In this DataPoint, Frank notes how Jeff Bezos just may be the Rockefeller of our day.
