In this episode, I’m joined by Meri Nova, Technical Founder of Break Into Data to learn more about her journey in the data industry. Meri shares more about her early career journey, how her education in business and entrepreneurial spirit drove her to become a first-time founder, and how this taught her the importance of data-driven decisions for successfully running a business. Meri shares more about how she launched an online accountability group to help her upskill in data, and how this eventually transformed into the broader community she now leads, Break Into Data. This is such a cool story of how things can evolve and grow when people come together to support one another–I think you’ll enjoy hearing about this journey and where things are heading next.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
