Rock n' Roll Research Podcast

A little diversion here for a Saturday post. Your RRR Podcast host plays the drums in a couple of bands in Dallas, TX. One of those bands - Pretty - released a brand new single today, "Only Ones." If you're looking for some new catchy, high-energy rock n' roll, this might fit the bill. Thanks for giving it a listen \m/ https://lnkd.in/ggmJyX-f

“If you have too much VC funding and it’s just like ‘Margins! Margins! Margins!,’ you can’t start a revolution. You can’t be a pirate.” Adam Stephenson founded QuantifyAI last year after a successful business development career in the research sample space. He entirely self-funded the launch of his company, a #DIY ethic that follows directly from his skate punk youth. By #bootstrapping, staying focused and creating compelling guerilla marketing, QuantifyAI is off to a great start and growing quickly. We discuss Adam’s journey from #halfpipes and videocams to becoming an #entrepreneur to mitigating #surveyfraud. Adam also shares his strong take on #syntheticdata and the albums he’d want to keep him company on a deserted island.

Start with a University of California, Berkeley background in the #hardsciences and some time working on the Valdez oil spill, take a turn toward #dataanalytics, layer in some orchestral #bassoon and #tattoo artistry and then you start to understand what makes Bryson Cwick tick.

But on the weekends, you may find Bryson tattooing at a festival or popping in as a guest artist at a friend’s shop somewhere in the US.
