E106 - CLASSIC - Steve Nouri - On Growth and Branding for AI Professionals

Last week, the response to our Classic throwback episode was
amazing!


Thank you to everyone for your support and kind words for our
journey since 2019 on The Analytics Show.


Because of this, we have decided to deliver another special
episode this week - another classic.


This is Episode 40 - a jump from last week’s Episode 5 - first
released back in December 2020, almost a year after beginning TAS
and during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.


And it’s now being rereleased as Episode 106.


Where were you in 2020?
