Podcasts about using data

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Chris Fair, President and CEO of Resonance. Drawing on his background in journalism, destination marketing, and futures studies, Chris shares how destinations can use data-driven insights to better understand their strengths, identify opportunities, and build authentic brands that stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace. We discuss the relationship between destination development and marketing, why collaboration across organizations is essential, and how communities can align around a shared narrative that supports tourism, economic development, and long-term prosperity. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How destinations can evaluate the gap between performance and public perception Why authentic, focused place branding is more effective than trying to appeal to everyone What Resonance's Best Cities rankings reveal about livability, lovability, and prosperity How performance, perception, and community aspiration work together to shape destination strategy Why destination marketing organizations and economic development organizations should collaborate more closely How creating a shared narrative helps communities strengthen their reputation and attract visitors, talent, and investment What practical steps destination leaders can take to prioritize resources and build long-term competitive advantage Beyond "Beige": Finding an Authentic Destination Narrative Chris explains that one of the greatest challenges destinations face isn't overcoming negative perceptions—it's overcoming a lack of perception altogether. Many communities have exceptional experiences to offer but struggle to communicate what makes them distinct. Instead of trying to promote every possible attraction, successful destinations identify the unique story that reflects both who they are and what audiences value most.  He shares how Resonance helps destinations diagnose where they stand by comparing performance with perception. When communities understand whether they need stronger destination development, better branding, or a combination of both, they can focus their resources more strategically. Rather than trying to be everything to everyone, Chris encourages destination leaders to identify what belongs in their "storefront window"—the defining experience or story that invites people to discover everything else the destination has to offer.  Using Data to Guide Smarter Destination Strategy Chris discusses the framework behind Resonance's America's Best Cities rankings, which evaluate destinations through three interconnected lenses: livability, lovability, and prosperity. These rankings measure everything from parks, restaurants, shopping, and cultural attractions to economic opportunity, infrastructure, education, and quality of life, providing communities with a clearer understanding of how they perform compared to their peers.  Beyond performance data, Chris emphasizes the importance of combining research on public perception with the aspirations of local residents and businesses. By studying performance, perception, and aspiration together, destinations can uncover opportunities that traditional research alone may overlook. Throughout the conversation, he shares how this evidence-based approach helps communities prioritize investments, refine their positioning, and make informed decisions that support both residents and visitors.  Building a Shared Narrative Through Collaboration One of the most important themes throughout our conversation is the role collaboration plays in creating a successful destination brand. Chris shares examples of communities where tourism organizations, economic development agencies, civic leaders, and other stakeholders have worked together to build a shared narrative that aligns how the destination is presented to visitors, investors, businesses, and residents alike.  He also notes that creating the narrative is only the beginning. The greater challenge is sustaining it through ongoing education, leadership, and cross-sector collaboration. As organizations evolve and leadership changes, maintaining alignment requires continual investment and commitment. Chris leaves listeners with a compelling perspective: destination marketing organizations should think more like economic development organizations, while economic development organizations should become stronger storytellers. By breaking down organizational silos and working toward shared goals, communities can strengthen their reputation, attract investment, and create lasting benefits for everyone.  Resources: Website: resonanceco.com Best Cities Reports: resonanceco.com/reports LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisfairresonance/

Consistency is one of the biggest differentiators between agents who talk about prospecting and agents who actually build a business from it. In this episode of the REDX Podcast, Tyler Fenn sits down with Kent Brown, a licensed real estate agent, REDX team member, and Listing Academy trainer, to break down what it really takes to make prospecting a consistent part of a real estate business. Kent shares lessons from years of prospecting and explains why success isn't about finding a secret script or waiting for motivation; it's about making the calls, tracking the numbers, and staying committed to the process.Kent and Tyler dive deep into Kent's experience making tens of thousands of prospecting calls, including a 100,000-call challenge that he ultimately stopped after 53 days because the volume of leads and resulting business became difficult to manage alongside the challenge. They discuss how roughly 50,000 calls produced around 4,800 conversations and nearly 200 hot leads, as well as how Kent has generated more than $300,000 in commissions from those calls. The conversation also explores why agents should give prospecting enough time to produce meaningful data, why "data removes emotion," and how accountability can turn motivation into discipline. Kent explains his approach to expired listings, the importance of tracking activity over several months, and why doing the work long enough is essential before deciding whether a prospecting strategy works.Here's What You'll Discover in This Episode...• Why consistency matters more than motivation when building a prospecting business• How Kent's 50,000-call experience generated thousands of conversations and nearly 200 hot leads• What Kent learned from attempting a 100,000-call challenge in 100 days• Why tracking your numbers can remove emotion from the prospecting process• How accountability helps transform motivation into daily discipline• Why agents should give a prospecting strategy several months before judging its effectiveness• What makes expired listings a predictable prospecting opportunity when you understand the homeowner's mindset• How consistent calling can create a pipeline that continues producing opportunities over time• Why doing more and doing it long enough can be more valuable than overanalyzing every strategy• How Listing Academy teaches Kent's expired prospecting system from start to finishJUMP TO THESE TOPICS00:00 –

How can we help save the lives of our pregnant and post-partum patients?  What about doing more than just resolving their reported symptoms?We can't wait for you to hear this conversation with Katherine Sylvester - she has spent her entire career challenging the status quo and pushing for better results for her patients.  After experiencing postpartum preeclampsia herself, Katherine began asking how wearable data could help women recognize problems earlier, advocate for themselves and make better decisions during pregnancy and postpartum. That eventually grew into Operation M.I.S.T. and her work helping women use their own data to better understand their bodies. And that's just one part of this conversation!We talk about:

Health care workforce shortages aren't experienced the same way in every community and deciding where to invest limited resources requires more than just counting clinicians. Steve Holloway, director of the Primary Care Office for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, explains how his team uses data and geospatial analysis to identify communities with the greatest need for primary, oral and behavioral health providers. Holloway discusses the role of Health Professional Shortage Area designations, Colorado's state-specific approach to measuring access, and the Colorado Health Service Corps, which has supported hundreds of clinicians serving underserved communities. He also explains how partnerships with philanthropy have helped Colorado stretch public workforce investments further, directing resources toward communities where they can make the biggest difference.2026 Primary Care Office Annual Technical Assistance Assessment | ASTHOVoices From the Field: Public Health Success Stories | ASTHOUsing Data-Driven Strategy to Prevent ACEs and Improve Health Outcomes | ASTHOStrengthening Partnerships to Prevent Overdose: Key Actions in a Multi-State Learning Collaborative | ASTHORisk of Severe Arboviral Disease in Patients Receiving B Cell-Depleting or Modulating Medications | HAN | CDC

So with that, welcome to the show, Lauren.Lauren 00:00:50  Thank you so much, Josh. It's nice to be here.Josh 00:00:52  Lauren. I kind of want to point our attention to how do I find these affiliates? It all sounds great, but how do I find these affiliates, how do I manage the relationship with them? How do I make sure that the offer I'm going to give them is enough percentage of the deal or of the revenue share? Right.Josh 00:01:11  So there's a lot that I think we need to dive into there. So let's start first with like so how in the world do I go find the right affiliates? If I've decided that with organic I, I've, I'm targeting more, let's say people that are trying to lose weight. Right. how do I go find the right affiliates that are focused on talking to an audience that's wanting to lose weight?Lauren 00:01:33  Yes. Great question. And basically, we're taking somebody through the whole journey, right? Of what? Of starting of starting from the ideation stages and just of interest. And now you're you're ready to connect with affiliates. And so you by joining in the network, you get access to the affiliates. And that's one of the benefits of joining a network. And outside of a network you can absolutely connect with people on like Facebook groups and maybe on LinkedIn. and it's kind of ad hoc, right? And it does take some manual effort. So that does exist that just natural facilitation of relationships. But once you're inside a network in a company like Clickbank or another network, what they allow you to do is to join a marketplace.Lauren 00:02:15  And the marketplace is not consumer facing. It's for affiliates. And affiliates are coming every single day to be able to see what offers are there and what they can begin to promote. And so you want to be in that marketplace. You want to be just like you're on Amazon, right? And you are in that marketplace. It's kind of very similar in the sense of what products can I promote as an affiliate. And so that's how you're really going to start to connect with affiliates. So pick up your offer. And so there's some strategies around there. You know you can get your offer and require that affiliates, you know, provide information so that you can start to create these this network of affiliates that you're connecting with by email by contact. And you also can learn what is their traffic source. Maybe one affiliate is really good at YouTube and one's really good at Facebook. And you can start to be strategic around that. that is the main facilitation, the main way that you are going to connect with affiliates.Lauren 00:03:07  There are other things like events and networking and like I mentioned, kind of this ad hoc relationship that does happen, but you want to ensure your, your, you're connected on the marketplace.Josh 00:03:20  Okay. Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. So the first thing would, you know, a network that you join in the marketplace would kind of do a lot. Help expedite things. Do you have any tips or strategies? If somebody is just, you know, they're networking with people or they're in Facebook groups, have you seen any good strategies that way to maybe recruit some affiliates that you're meeting personally?Lauren 00:03:42  Yes, absolutely. Okay, so I think one thing that often gets overlooked when you create your funnel and create your campaign, you're super excited, but you want to be able to have some data around your campaign, your offer. Is it converting? What is the conversion rate? You know, what is the average order value that you see people transacting with on your on your funnel, on your campaign? Those are going to be really attractive metrics to share with affiliates.Lauren 00:04:09  And so if you did go on a Facebook group or you go to a networking or a conference, right, you'r...

Most ecommerce teams are still arguing about channel split the same way they were five years ago. Meta versus Google, who gets the budget, who gets the credit. The argument usually gets won by whoever's most confident, not whoever's most right.The deeper issue is the data underneath it. Every ad platform is built to over-claim, because the more credit it takes, the more budget you hand it. Add up what Google, Meta and your email tool each say they drove and you'll sail past two hundred percent of your actual revenue. They're all counting the same customer, so the debate gets run on numbers that don't add up.The brands getting this right do three things differently.In this playbook, based on a conversation with Paula Mitchell, Digital GM of Freedom, we cover three things ecommerce operators need to know about choosing the right marketing channels using data:Match the channel to the job the campaign needs done, not a fixed Meta and Google ratioStop trusting the platforms' own numbers and judge the whole engine on one honest top-line metric like MERBuy independent measurement, but size it to your business instead of reaching for a full modelling platform too earlyConnect with Paula Mitchell Explore FreedomSubscribe to the Add To Cart newsletter  SMS us to Suggest a Guest Connect with Nathan Bush Join the Add To Cart Community

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich discusses using data to elevate udder health in this episode sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim. Our guests are Dr. Quinn Kolar from the ProDairy team at the Cornell University Dairy Fellows Program, and Dr. Caitlin Jeffrey, professional services veterinarian at Boehringer Ingelheim.  This episode explores how bovine veterinarians can use on-farm data to guide smarter mastitis prevention and treatment decisions. From tracking meaningful metrics like relapse rates and somatic cell count trends to leveraging pathogen-based culturing, the conversation focuses on turning data into action. When veterinarians lead with data, they can help improve treatment precision, reduce recurrence and elevate overall herd performance. For questions on mastitis prevention and management options, talk to your Boehringer Ingelheim Professional Services Veterinarian or visit www.choose360coverage.com. You can also find AABP Milk Quality and Udder Health resources under the Committee Resources page. Recently added documents include KPIs for clinical and subclinical mastitis as well as records and data needed to assess milk quality. 

Today's conversation hits at the heart of what many lenders are feeling, but aren't saying out loud. The pressure on farmers right now is real and increasing, and it is showing up on lender balance sheets. The question is no longer if risk will surface, but when and how prepared are we to see it coming? Do you know how to lead through uncertainty without waiting for the warning signs to become problems? This episode of the Forward Thinking Podcast features FCCS SVP of Marketing and Communications Stephanie Barton and Cameron Burford, Managing Director of SaaS at Growers Edge. Their conversation focuses on the role that data, land intelligence, and proactive risk management can play in helping leaders move from reactive to resilient.    Episode Insights Include: Insights into the ag market The ag market is in a downturn nationwide. The farm credit commitment to support farmers in good times and bad holds true in today's cycle. Forecasts for 2026 are not promising. What, if anything, will get planted this year?   The lender risk of dropping farmland values The borrower's balance sheet is the farmland collateral coverage. Deteriorating land values decrease favorable ratios significantly. Factors that contribute to risk before stress is visible. Missing payments is not the first sign of risk. Catching early indicators gives lenders time to do something about it.   Understanding adverse assets  Definitions for key adverse asset terms. Recognizing the early indicators of a higher risk profile can position lenders to effectively partner with farmers. Workouts and adverse assets have a negative relationship with borrowers.   Lessons for Midwest lenders  High-profile bankruptcies in California can provide lessons for Midwest lenders. Input and commodity pricing, as well as geopolitical risks, are affecting balance sheets and land value. Leading lenders are watching land values and other leading indicators.   The cost of reactive mode Direct costs will show up on spreadsheets. By being proactive, high costs can be avoided. Subsequent time can be spent helping farmers grow their operations. Every dollar tied into cleanup is an hour spent not serving the farmer.   The role of land intelligence and collateral data in a portfolio's health Data can paint a living picture of a borrower's portfolio. Insights available today are vastly different from those of the past. Risk profiles are more robust today because of better data. Lenders need to focus on "seeing, saying, and serving" their borrowers.   Proactive risk management culture A proactive risk management culture can be a company's greatest growth engine. A team that is all growing in the same direction should be the goal. Winning looks like acknowledging that you can position yourself for success now.   This podcast is powered by FCCS.   Resources   Connect with Cameron Burford – Cameron Burford   Get in touch – info@fccsconsulting.com   "These factors can contribute to risk before stress is even visible." — Cameron Burford   "If you can catch these early indicators, you can do something about it." — Cameron Burford   "Every dollar tied into cleanup is an hour spent not serving the farmer." — Cameron Burford   "Lenders need to focus on 'seeing, saying, and serving' their borrowers." — Cameron Burford

Many of us become therapists because we care deeply about people, not because we want to spend our days looking at business data. So, it makes sense if tracking metrics feels a little cold, overly analytical, or disconnected from the human side of the work you're doing.But the truth is, good data can actually support you in caring for both your clients and your clinicians more effectively.In this episode, I'm joined by Tory Krone, group practice owner and creator of PracticeVital, to talk about how the right numbers can help us understand what's really happening inside a therapy practice. Together, we explore how tracking things like churn, retention, rebooking, and clinician productivity can move you out of guesswork and into clearer, steadier decision-making.Click here to learn more about PracticeVital — and get $30 off your first month when you sign up using the referral code MoneyN&B ​​Ready to feel more calm and confident about your money? Do you feel confused, ashamed, or uncertain about your finances?Are you craving support to help shift your money mindset and transform your relationship with money?Are you ready to develop the skills and confidence you need to finally take control of your business finances and build a practice that actually takes care of you?If so, I'd love for you to join me for one of my free online workshops, designed specifically for private practice owners who feel stuck—whether it's mindset blocks, avoidance, or the technical side of managing money.In just one hour together, you'll learn practical tools, strategies, and next steps to move forward in your business (and your life) with clarity, intention, and ease.Click here to explore upcoming workshops and save your spot or register to get the replay.Using Data to See Patterns You Can't Feel AloneTherapists are often highly intuitive. That intuition is a beautiful strength in clinical work, but it can only take you so far when you're trying to get clear on client flow, practice performance, or the financial health of your business.By tracking the right numbers, you can begin to notice patterns that might otherwise stay hidden. Churn rates, retention, rebooking patterns, and referral quality offer important information about client fit, onboarding, expectations, and the overall client experience. Data doesn't replace clinical judgment — it supports it.Sometimes small shifts in your practice, such as improving follow-up systems, setting clearer expectations during intake, or matching clients based on fit rather than simply availability, can make a meaningful difference. These practical adjustments can help clients stay engaged long enough to truly benefit from the care they came for.Creating More Stability Through Better Systems Many of the metrics Tory and I discuss are early signals that offer insight as to where a practice may need additional support, more clarity, or a better system before things become truly stressful.(00:04:02) Discovery of PracticeVital software(00:09:38) Tracking clinician productivity(00:10:25) Overly optimistic revenue projections(00:14:40) Introducing financial leadership tools(00:18:50) Analyzing referral quality(00:19:48) Attracting the right audience(00:25:15) Challenges of attracting therapy clients(00:32:24) Creating a safe space for clients(00:36:36) Importance of visually appealing dataStrong Practice Leadership Often Looks Surprisingly PracticalOne thing I really appreciate about this conversation is the reminder that good leadership is not only about vision, warmth, or emotional attunement. It's also about creating reliable systems that help clients stay connected to care and help clinicians do their best work.That might mean normalizing recurring appointments, improving onboarding workflows, watching rebooking patterns, or noticing when a therapist on your team may need more support. Numbers will never tell the whole story of a practice, but they can help you ask better questions. And when you can ask better questions, you can respond to your business with more clarity, compassion, and confidence.About Linzy Bonham:Linzy Bonham is a therapist turned money coach who helps private practice owners and health professionals feel calm, confident, and in control of their finances through her podcast, free workshops and comprehensive programs: Money Skills for Therapists and Money Skills for Group Practice Owners.It all started when she saw her extremely skilled colleagues struggle with the money side of business. Some had even left private practice, or were avoiding starting one, because managing finances was just too stressful.So Linzy set out to support helpers and healers with developing peace of mind about their money. Since so many were never taught money skills, she focuses on the “how” of making the business side of private practice doable — and even super satisfying.Follow Linzy Bonham: About Page: https://moneyskillsfortherapists.com/aboutLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/linzybonham/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moneyskillsfortherapists/About Tory Krone:Tory Krone is a licensed clinical therapist, group practice owner, and co-founder of PracticeVital.

Most founders treat 'scale' like a switch you flip after raising a round: hire 14 reps, 10x the ad spend, and pray. About half scale too early and burn the runway, while the other half scale too late and get caught by a more aggressive competitor. Almost nobody can tell you, in measurable terms, when they're actually ready.In this episode, Yaniv Bernstein is joined by Mark Roberge - founding CRO at HubSpot (where he scaled the company from $0 to $100M ARR), senior lecturer at Harvard Business School, cofounder of Stage 2 Capital, and author of the new book 'The Science of Scaling'.

The Parent Playbook: Navigating the "Sideline Culture" https://teachhoops.com/ In a 30-year coaching career, you learn that you aren't just coaching the 15 players on your roster; you are managing a 45-person ecosystem that includes parents, guardians, and extended "inner circles." Navigating parent behaviors is less about "conflict resolution" and more about Environmental Design. Most parent friction occurs in the Information Vacuum—the space between what you see in the gym every day and what the parent hopes for at the dinner table. To build a championship culture, you must be the Chief Transparency Officer, ensuring that the "Standard" is so clearly communicated that there is no room for a counter-narrative to grow. The greatest tool in your belt is the Mandatory Buffer. Emotions are highest in the 15 minutes following a tough loss. The Standard: No parent-coach communication regarding game strategy or playing time until 24 hours have passed. The Protocol: Require that all concerns be addressed via a scheduled meeting rather than a "sideline ambush." This moves the conversation from the emotional (the heat of the game) to the logical (the film and the data). As we often discuss in the world of analytics, "The numbers don't have feelings." When a parent challenges playing time, move the conversation away from "opinion" and toward Objective Efficiency. The "Truth Room" Metrics: If a player is struggling with their Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$) or has a high turnover rate in transition, show the data. The Probability of Success: Use the stats to explain the "Why." For example: "Our team's defensive rating improves by $12%$ when we have this specific rotation on the floor." It is very difficult to argue with a $95%$ confidence interval. Parent anxiety usually stems from a lack of Role Definition. If a player thinks they are a "Green Light" shooter but the coach sees them as a "Defensive Specialist," the parent is caught in the middle. The Solution: Conduct mid-season "Role Reviews." Give the player (and by extension, the parent) a clear list of the three things they must do to earn more minutes. The Transformation: You shift the parent from being a "Critic" of your decisions to being a "Partner" in their child's development. They now know exactly what "success" looks like in your system. You cannot coach a kid hard if you haven't made a deposit into their parent's Trust Account. The Strategy: Make it a point to send a "Positive Pulse" text or email to a parent when their child does something that doesn't show up in the box score—diving for a loose ball, cheering for a teammate, or showing "Next Play" speed after an error.

In this episode, Duane Osterlind talks with Nawal Roy, the visionary behind Holmusk, the world's largest clinical data platform for mental health. After a successful career in finance, Nawal pivoted to healthcare, driven by the realization that mental health is one of the most complex, yet least quantified, areas of medicine.They dive deep into how Holmusk has spent 11 years building a "scientific-grade" database of over 42 million patients, shifting mental health care away from "hunches and poetry" toward precision and evidence-based science.Key Discussion PointsThe Data Gap in Mental Health: Historically, mental health treatment has relied on clinician intuition rather than hard data. Nawal explains how Holmusk "normalizes" messy, unstructured electronic health records to create a searchable, scientific database.The 10-Year Wait: Data reveals a heartbreaking reality: the average journey from the onset of symptoms to receiving meaningful care is 8 to 10 years.Ending the Trial-and-Error Cycle: A typical acute patient might cycle through 10 to 12 different medications over 18 months before finding what works. Nawal discusses how large-scale data can help clinicians find the right treatment faster.The Power of Comorbidity: Mental health doesn't exist in a vacuum. Treating depression can significantly improve outcomes for physical conditions like diabetes, yet these are often treated as separate issues.Measurement-Based Care: Nawal argues that "engagement is not outcome." He highlights the desperate need to move toward a system that measures functional improvement (like GAF or CGI scores) rather than just "showing up for therapy."AI and the Future of Psychiatry: How Holmusk is using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to "read" thousands of unstructured doctor's notes and train AI models to provide clinically accurate—not just "nice sounding"—guidance."Mental health is currently closer to poetry than science... we need to bring the level of rigor found in pediatric oncology to the mental health community." — Nawal Roy"You can't improve what you don't measure. If we have data, we can actually make real, significant change to people's lives." — Duane OsterlindBig TakeawaysDemand Data: Patients and stakeholders should demand that mental health be treated with the same clinical rigor as physical health.Outcome over Engagement: Simply attending sessions isn't enough; we must measure whether the patient is actually getting better.The Role of AI: AI has the potential to democratize access to care, but it must be trained on massive, clinically valid datasets to avoid "hallucinations" and provide safe, effective support.Resources MentionedHolmusk: holmusk.comNeuroBlue: Holmusk's flagship data analytics platform.ACE Study: Referenced by Duane regarding Adverse Childhood Experiences and their long-term health impacts.LinkedIn: Nawal Roy Follow and Review: We'd love it even more if you could drop a review or 5-star rating over on Apple Podcasts.

Could the way we measure contributions at work miss the very things that make people most valuable? In this episode of Becoming Unshakable, I sit down with Jacob D. Chase to discuss pressure, performance, leadership, and the human side of data. Jacob's journey takes us from Wall Street and hedge funds to entrepreneurship and people-centered performance, where he began asking a question many leaders struggle to answer: how do we really understand someone's value inside an organization? Jacob shares the moment that challenged his leadership thinking, when he realized that one high-performing employee's contribution could not be fully captured by salary bands, job descriptions, or a single leader's perspective. That experience led him to rethink how organizations gather perspectives, recognize hidden value, and connect individual contributions to business results. We also talk about what it means to become unshakable from the inside out. Jacob opens up about learning to separate his inner peace from other people's opinions, the importance of staying aligned with who you are, and why resilience often comes down to knowing you can keep going even when circumstances feel uncertain. This conversation is a thoughtful look at data, leadership, feedback, and self-leadership. It raises an important question for every leader: are we measuring what truly matters, or only what is easiest to see? What do you think makes someone truly valuable inside an organization, and how should leaders recognize it?  

Hey there, counselor friend. Today I am sharing my must have school counseling spreadsheets to help you track the services you provide and advocate for your role with confidence. These simple systems can be used to support a data wall or an end of year report so you can clearly communicate your impact to key stakeholders. If you know me, you know I love a good spreadsheet. I use them for everything from travel planning to recipes, and they have become one of the most powerful tools in my school counseling program. In this episode, I am walking you through the core data sheets I recommend every school counselor use to stay organized and data driven. Counseling Caseload Data Sheet This spreadsheet tracks your entire caseload in one place. You can include who you are seeing, when their sessions are scheduled, what type of service they are receiving, and the topic or focus of those sessions. You can also track referral forms, parent permission slips, identifying factors, and notes. School Counseling Log Data Sheet A counseling log is one of the simplest and most effective ways to track your daily services. Using a Google Sheet, you can log each interaction by recording the student's name, the reason you saw them, and the amount of time spent together. This allows you to track direct student service minutes and capture interactions with students who may not be on your regular caseload, such as drop ins. It also helps you maintain accuracy. For example, if you planned for a 30 minute group but only met for 15 minutes, you can log the actual time spent. Self Assessments and Behavior Surveys Data Sheet For tracking student progress, I highly recommend using Google Forms for self assessments and behavior surveys. These forms automatically organize responses into spreadsheets, making it easy to analyze data and identify trends. With just a few clicks, you can view results and use that information to guide your instruction. Class Lesson Sign Up Data Sheet To streamline your scheduling, consider using a Google Form or spreadsheet for teachers to sign up for class lessons. This creates a simple and efficient system that reduces back and forth communication while helping you stay in control of your schedule. Using Data to Drive Instruction As school counselors, it is essential that our work is data driven. These data sheets allow you to collect meaningful information so you can make informed decisions about your program and better support your students. Counseling Hub One of my favorite systems is what I call a school counseling hub, which combines your counseling log and caseload spreadsheet into one streamlined dashboard. This allows you to manage your data, track services, and view your impact all in one place. If you are looking for a simple way to get started, you can download my template and begin using these systems with your own students right away.

I had a data conversation that I was excited to share with you because Brian Vinson comes at data in a way that made me excited to rethink my take on data.  If you've listened for long, you know that I think people put too much emphasis on looking backward at their data when making decisions.  Brian's POV on data is very much forward looking and it was refreshing to hear this.  In today's episode, we get into a lot of things: Using wifi to serve customers and get better data Finding data from guests that don't want to have you know they are there Making data memorable and useful internally and externally Why making people feel seen makes your data more powerful Check out my site: www.DaveWakeman.com You can get my newsletter there are by visiting the 'Talking Tickets' site.  Join our Slack Channel.

As global conversations around gender equality evolve, the focus is increasingly shifting from commitments to measurable outcomes. This includes how legal frameworks, institutional practices and representation translate into real economic inclusion for women, and how we can better understand both the progress made and the barriers that persist across countries and sectors. Tea Trumbic, manager of the Women, Business and the Law project at the World Bank, joins Andrea Correa, head of research at OMFIF, to discuss the intersection of evidence-based policy-making and women's economic empowerment. From personal reflections to the broader policy landscape, we examine where meaningful progress has been achieved, where gaps remain, the importance of language in shaping the debate and the link between gender equality and economic growth.

Most Airbnb failures don't come from bad luck. They come from bad assumptions made before the deal ever closes. In this episode, John Bianchi, founder of STR Search, breaks down how he evaluates short-term rental deals using data most investors either misunderstand or completely ignore. John has helped guide more than $100M+ into short-term rental properties and has reviewed 350+ deals nationwide, all using a strict data-first process designed to avoid downside risk. This conversation focuses on how to pressure-test Airbnb deals so they still work when demand softens, regulations tighten, or competition increases. What we cover: Why many Airbnbs fail within 1–2 years The biggest mistakes investors make when reading Airbnb data How to identify bad data vs. reliable data in AirDNA Why listings must show 270+ days of activity and consistent reviews How regulations can quietly kill otherwise "great" deals Why cash flow matters more for STRs than long-term rentals John's 20% price-to-revenue rule and how it compares to the 1% rule Why Class-A vacation markets often underperform How oversupply, foreign capital, and design arms races crush returns What data reveals about competition, saturation, and revenue durability Why management matters less than buying the right property How John reverse-engineers top-performing listings to find winners Where investors go wrong trying to "make" bad deals work John also explains why he never publicly shares specific markets, how he thinks about regulatory risk at the state and local level, and why not buying a bad deal is often the real win.
