The Founders Playbook

Happy Wednesday!

In today's newsletter I will share some of my observations on Big Data and AI, past present and future.

Power BI meets Xbox

Well I hope so!

The other day it struck me that data analysts are like superheroes in many ways.

I mean, we “save” our clients from the pitfalls of bad data on a daily basis and undertake multiple quests as we navigate the challenges that come with extensive datasets.

So, with the help of AI, I thought I’d see what this game could look like.

I imagine the game would play out as “the journey of a data analyst,” who, like many of us, wears multiple hats:

→ Data modeller

→ Data engineer

→ Data visualiser

...And more, all in one role.

I would like to see this product on the market! On the weekends or after work this would be such a great game to play to unwind.

(PS: This photo shows that AI generated media is not foolproof - even though it's striking visually there are still multiple spelling mistakes and inconsistencies!)

Being A Founder Is Hard Work!

It does in fact get extremely lonely.

The three main reasons why I feel this way is:

1)The long hours

It's not a 9 to 5, I am working longer hours than my employees. I do this as ultimately I believe I carry the weight of the company.

2) Difficult Decisions

As a founder I constantly face tough decisions which could pivot the business and make sacrifices to benefit my company.

3)Imposter Syndrome- I do experience times where self-doubts take a toll on me when hit comes to my goals and ideas I have. I know this is a normal feeling to have!

Founder life can be difficult and It can make you feel like it's you against the world. Great ideas often come to you when you are alone.Don't give up - every big thing started small and ignored. Just keep believing in yourself, embrace the loneliest as a way to reflect on personal growth.

Sports to Data

There's a growing trend of athletes transitioning from the field to the world of entrepreneurship, particularly in the data space.

Athletes cultivate a unique skill set that translates perfectly to the challenges of building a startup.

Lessons from the Game that Fuel Business Success:

  • Resilience: Bouncing back from setbacks, a crucial skill for both athletes and entrepreneurs.
  • Goal Setting & Strategy: Clear vision and planning approach, vital for winning in sports and business.
  • Data-Driven Decision Making: Analytics to optimise performance, essential in modern sports and data-driven startups.
