Now to today’s episode, I’m delighted to have the very focused Srini Ramaswamy on as my guest! Srini is a matter of fact, down to earth no nonsense kind of guy! I don’t think I’ve met anyone as focused and to the point on delivery and success. He doesn’t even listen to music as he doesn’t have time for it! A professor turned industry expert, he decided to go into industry after being reaching the ripe old age of 40 in professordom, and wanted to take his knowledge of strategy and implementation into the big wide world! Nothing bothers him and he tends not to take things seriously! A man after my own heart! Srini is currently VP Cloud and Emerging Technologies at iWorks Corporation and he has a passion for setting up cross-functional teams delivering innovation through successful project delivery and product development. A HUGE cricket fan, and traveler and is an educator at heart, mentoring students and making sure they reach their potentials. I loved the conversation with Srini and he reminded me that you can get through anything if you don’t take life or yourself too seriously! I hope you enjoy this episode please do like, share, and comment, and enjoy listening to Srini. Behind every data leader there is a person and here is Srini unplugged.…

She's a singer and is currently being coached by a child prodigy. She also loves the song "Jalebi Baby" - for those who don't know a "jalebi" is the name for an Indian sweet dish made of sugar and flour, then fried into circular form and it results in an orange color. Yummy! She doesn't interview people she understands their background and their purpose. That's cool and you tend to get more out of people instead of canned responses. Joti is the Founder & Managing Director, Freshriver.ai - Creative Architects designing and delivering complex enterprise grade transformations with AI, Data and Social Sciences. What I loved about our discussion was her openness about the education system that she currently believes is broken and there should be more of an "apprentice style" system in the US. Her passion is to own a cafe by the beach and get to know all of those people who pass by, buy a coffee and something to eat and get to know their stories. A powerful story teller Joti looking at data in the same way we look at the blood in our bodies and how it can affect us when diseased, just like the data if it's bad, it's going to give you a bad output. As you can tell I had a lot of fun with Joti and she loves to be in flow. I hope you enjoy this episode please do like, share, and comment, and enjoy listening to Joti.

Plus his tenacious and almost infectious passion for data and analytics, his lifelong application of learning with his daughters, and his love of Python. What resonated for me is simply this: in the world of data and analytics with all the trends that are amassing, the one piece of advice that he gave which equally supports my values is this: if you are thinking about or are already in a data career – make it your objective to sit, study, and learn everything about what your business does.
