The Data Stack Show - The PRQL: Kostas Becomes a Prophet

Episode Date: September 16, 2022

In this bonus episode, Eric and Kostas preview their upcoming conversation with Astasia Myers of Quiet Capital.

Welcome to the Data Sack Show prequel. You may notice that my voice is raspy and sultry, and that's because our producer had us record four shows this week, but we are going to keep on going because we're committed to delivering you the best content in the podcast world as it relates to data. Costas, we just recorded an episode with an investor, two major milestones. It was our first investor interview on the podcast ever. And then you also issued the first official prophecy from the Data Stack Show right at the end of the show. And so that was two huge steps for us on the Data Stack show. How did it feel to sort of become a prophet officially?

I love it. I mean, I've worked with my whole life to become like the messiah of data or something. I don't know. It's time for me to start a religion or something. I don't know. It was the next step in my career, just to keep it interesting.

And for that, Cedric, you liberated me today. Thank you. Anyway, jokes aside, it was an amazing conversation that we had. And I think we need to bring more investors on the show to discuss with them. They have a very unique perspective around the things that are happening out there and very interesting ideas. And a different way of thinking, which I think is important to share this with our audience out there. So that's something for our producer to go and figure out how to bring more investors.

As I said, I love the conversation. We had the opportunity to talk a lot about the modern data stack. What is it, how it has evolved because it has been around for a while, right? Right. We talked about consolidation. We talked about M&As and there was some great advice there around that. The M&A conversation was awesome. That was really, really helpful. Yeah. Yeah. So, and obviously like we talked about what's next, which, of course, it's like, probably investors are, like, some of the best people, like, to hear about that. So, I don't want to share more because I want, like, our audience, like, to go and listen

to the episode, but I would encourage everyone, like, to do it. It's like, we had, like, a very have a very fun conversation with very unique advice and insights on what's going on in the market out there. I agree. It's a really good one. And you should definitely tune in. Subscribe if you haven't. And we will have more data prophecies

coming your way soon.
