• Episode 86: Why Every Data Scientist Is Already Running a Business

  Every data scientist is running their own business - it's just that most of those businesses are solo operations with one client: their employer.

The reality is that while bosses usually mean well, they have their own careers to worry about.In this episode, Danny Ruspandini joins Dr. Genevieve Hayes to explore how applying a solo business mindset to your data science career can help you take control of your professional destiny, increase your value within organisations, and create opportunities that others miss.You'll learn:How to become the go-to person for specific problems within your organisation [07:11]The "secondary sale" technique that gets your projects approved even when you're not in the room [14:49]Why focusing on one shiny object at a time accelerates your career faster than juggling multiple priorities [19:06]How to find your signature service that makes you indispensable to your employer [23:00]Guest BioDanny Ruspandini is a brand strategist, business coach and director of Impact Labs Australia.
