In this podcast episode, I interview Jake, founder of Day One Data, about his career path from studying politics to entering the marketing and data analytics field. Jake recounts his time at Tesco, where he developed an interest in data analytics and transitioned into product management. He later joined Farfetch as a product manager, influenced by his mother and LinkedIn opportunities. Jake emphasizes the value of continuous learning, networking, and being proactive about career progression. He also shares his experience starting a consultancy after being made redundant, the challenges of entrepreneurship, and the role of empathy in leadership, aligning with his ENFJ personality type.
