One Knight In Product - Episode 74

I really enjoyed this conversation with Jason Knight on the One Knight in Product podcast. Some of the topics we got into:

  • Data is a representation of a part of the world where you’re trying to add value; recognize where your data is a good representative and where it’s not (and possibly doesn’t need to be anyway).

  • If you can’t represent your value proposition to a user in as concise a format as a simple message (e.g. a notification), then you’re missing out on a major opportunity to add value at less cost (in terms of users’ attention).

  • If you’re a data scientist trying to build a business, don’t try to build it out of a model or algorithm. Embed your data science in a product that adds value and that customers can use.

Plus I got to talk a little more about what we’re building at Aampe, and that’s always my favorite part.
