#307: AI Does (and Does Not) Work for Data Storytelling (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's a version of this episode where AI replaces the data visualization expert entirely, and there's a version where it's useless without one. Neither is quite right, according to Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic of Storytelling with Data , who joined Tim, Moe, and Julie to sort out where AI genuinely earns its keep in data storytelling and where it's just producing a shinier first draft of the same shitty slide. Cole-admittedly a skeptic-turned-convert who once joked she'd retire before having to dea
#306: Decision Support Has Been the Point All Along (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before there was BI, there were "decision support systems." Somewhere along the way, we seem to have quietly dropped the "decision support" part and just kept the systems. Zohar Strinka, founder of Analytics Strategies and creator of the Meta-Problem Method, joined us to put the point back where it belongs: if nothing is going to be done differently after the analysis, then the analysis had exactly zero effect on the world.

This episode is brought to you, in part, by our sponsors, Prism from Ask-Y and Stape .
#304: I Can Haz AI? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everyone's posting their AI projects online like proud pet owners sharing videos of their cat doing something marginally impressive — cute, occasionally clever, sometimes a little cringe. And the Analytics Power Hour is no different! In this co-hosts-only episode, Tim, Michael, and Julie skip the thought leadership hot takes and just… compare notes. What have they actually built? What broke? What surprised them? From a custom GPT podcast librarian to a full-blown show production app wired up to
#303: Funnels Assume Progress. Barriers Recognize Reality. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twenty years of digital marketing created something of a monster: companies poured enormous investment into analytics teams, MarTech stacks, media capabilities, and data infrastructure—and then watched all those functions march off into their respective silos to work really, really hard at producing activity rather than impact. Rusty Rahmer , founder of Starize AI and author of Working As Designed , joined Michael, Julie, and Val to dig into why that happened, why it's still happening, and what
