In this enlightening episode of REJUVENAGING with Dr. Ron Kaiser, Dr. Ron welcomes Justin Evans, a 20-year veteran of the data and technology industry, to break down the often intimidating world of data and artificial intelligence. Justin, author of The Little Book of Data, shares his unique journey from being an English major to becoming a leading expert in data innovation, generating hundreds of millions in revenue for major companies. Through engaging storytelling, he illustrates how data is not just numbers, but observations of reality transformed into actionable insights, emphasizing that anyone—regardless of their technical background—can learn to harness its power.
Throughout the conversation, Justin explains key concepts like the origins of data, the role of big data, and how artificial intelligence works through image recognition and large language models like ChatGPT. He makes these complex ideas accessible by connecting them to everyday experiences, from photo organization on smartphones to the life-saving work of tracking disease outbreaks. Dr. Ron and Justin discuss how data impacts every aspect of modern life, from healthcare to business decision-making, and why developing data literacy is essential for staying relevant in today’s world—whether you're a professional, a retiree, or simply curious about technology’s role in shaping our lives.
Justin also offers a preview of his forthcoming book, aimed at business leaders and everyday readers alike who want to better understand and apply data without needing a background in statistics or computer science. His approach empowers listeners to stop fearing data and AI, and instead see them as tools for improving personal and professional outcomes.
