100+ Ideas for AI, Data, Analytics & Leadership!

Over the last 30 weeks, I've gotten in the habit of doing a video recap every Monday AM of the best AI, Data, Analytics & Leadership resources I read the week before.

The format is simple: Less than 3 mins. No more than 5 ideas. Every Monday morning.

The process has been incredibly rewarding. Your comments have made me better. Your participation has sparked new conversations and created new connections in and outside my LinkedIn network.

More than 110,000 of you have participated by either viewing, commenting or sharing these posts so I thought that it would only be fair if I took a few minutes to assemble in this post 'best' ideas you've commented on. See them below and feel free to add any I might have missed!

Thanks again all for the comments and feedback! I hope to see many of you continue to comment and join me in participating in the Data, AI and Analytics conversation. Join every Monday morning @ https://bit.ly/33gQbnJ
