Data Binge Podcast /// More In Common /// Season2:E080

Thursday Jun 04, 2020

This is a special episode where we bring a conversation we had on the Data Binge Podcast. This was a fun conversation and are grateful for the opportunity to talk with Derek about a lot of things.

The Data Binge Podcast, is a library of discussions with technologists and business leaders focusing on the human relationship with technology. Hosted by Derek Russell, a Data & AI specialist at Microsoft, and an evangelist of how diverse and inclusive data driven cultures can create greater good across organizations, communities, and individuals, the podcast focuses on fairly deep discussions of technologies and approaches that bring modern business forward including broad topics from augmented reality and connected everything, to machine automation and AI. Most importantly, these discussions highlight the relationship of humans and tech, the consciousness which truly separates us as living beings from the always connected and wired world of machines - our daily struggles, our mental health, and our emotional freedom, all things that we CAN control, and that WILL play a part in how we successfully co-evolve with technology. The human element, in this world of technology, is the richest component, in any past present or future tech.

Derek has also begun making these podcasts episodes available as LIVE productions via LinkedIn, Youtube, and Facebook, and invites all of you to engage in real time with guests on topics you care about, and to become a part of the discussion. The Data Binge podcast is available in all of your favorite places to stream podcasts, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify. You can find links to all these assets and how to contact Derek, in the show notes of this episode, or you can simply type "the Data Binge Podcast" in the search bar of LinkedIn, to follow the company page.
