It's a place to learn, to innovate and to connect with the minds that are shaping this industry. Today I'm excited to announce that we'll launch a new sponsorship program.

If this resonates with you hop over at discoveringdata.com/sponsors, you'll be able to send a quick application through so I can review it and get back to you as soon as possible!💬 Other ways to get in touchOne of the things I always struggle with when listening to podcasts is the disconnect between me listening and consuming content and the people that are thinking who to interview and what to talk about. So to make this journey more interactive and perhaps more useful you can now get in touch directly with the form at discoveringdata.com/review. On the same page you'll find some quick links. If you have time to deliver a review only takes 30 seconds and it really helps us to get these ideas out into the world. I really hope that this is going to open up a new way to shape the direction of the podcast and make it more fun, more engaging, more relevant!Quick linksReview the show: https://www.discoveringdata.com/reviewWant to guest?
