S03E08 is with actor and data scientist,  Lauren Neal.

Lauren is the resident data scientist for Castability, an app for actors to audition and learn about their best genre's and archetypes.

Lauren shares her journey of combining her passion for acting with her interest in data science. We discuss the role of data in acting, the concept of archetypes, and how Castability uses data science to help actors improve their skills and understand their strengths and weaknesses. The app allows actors to practice self-taping and receive feedback from real casting directors. It also provides insights and trends based on the data generated by actors' performances.

The conversation explores the role of Castability in guiding actors in their career development and the use of data and AI in the acting industry. It emphasizes the importance of self-growth and understanding one's strengths and weaknesses as an actor.
