We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir , Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times . Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary ( InnSæi: The Power of Intuition ), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

The Fuss About Creativity and Engagement 22:53

1 day ago22:53

22:53

This week we introduce Nick Guy, Data Detective. A knock at the door. A new client. And a mystery that will take us through the next several episodes. Maybe Nick wishes he had grabbed dinner earlier. Or maybe not. Joining John and Mark is Irene Dirks , one of the passers-by that sat down and actually talked with us at DGIQ. She has some very creative and engaging ideas for using Lego sets to get across information management concepts. Sounds like a lot of fun. Next time we find ourselves in Utrecht we'll have to drop in on one of her workshops.

The Fuss About Data Governance Disruption 30:32

29 days ago30:32

30:32

A recent CDO Magazine article begins, "Data governance, as it is currently practiced, is failing. Despite being positioned as essential for data quality, regulatory compliance, and strategic decision-making, data governance often falls short." In this episode we continue our exploration of how and why Data Governance isn't working out so well for most companies. We'll also check in on Todd Corporate as his confirmation hearing for Secretary of Data continues. John and Mark are joined by Laura Madsen , author of Disrupting Data Governance . The idiot light is flashing. Do you see it? Does leadership know what to do about it? Do you?

The Fuss About Data Governance, Now What 34:02

34:02

Would anybody disagree that Data Governance isn't working out the way we had all hoped? Yes, we've seen successes, but for the most part it's been like trying to throw an angel food cake under water. As long as you're pushing there's movement. As soon as you stop everything falls away. This episode is the first in a three part series that takes a hard look at Data Governance. We are honored to welcome Gwen Thomas , one of the pioneers of the field to join us at Rock Bottom. Returning this season are the Rock Bottom Players: Evan Goldt, Kasey Griffin, Johnathan Whited, Pam Ladley, and Karen Cooper.

Recently, John and Mark brought the Rock Bottom Data Feed to the Data Governance & Information Quality (DGIQ) conference in Washington, DC. We let out our nets to see what we could catch, so to speak. Well, the nets came back full. So many great conversations, observations, and insights. Some folks sat down and chatted for a long time. We'll be hearing from a couple of them in upcoming episodes. Others just dropped by for just a few minutes. We've accumulated those bits of conversation into this special episode.

The Fuss About the Constraints of Time 31:04

Sometimes when recording interviews we ended up with more material than we could use. Certainly not because it wasn't interesting, but rather because we chatted longer than was practical to include or because we veered into topics beyond the scope of the particular episode. Never ones to waste anything, we have accumulated those interesting bits into an episode all their own. Perhaps hearing some of our past guests again will inspire you to go back and listen to their full episodes!

The Fuss About Legal Stuff 30:04

30:04

Data is a new type of business asset from a legal perspective. The traditional legal methodologies don't fit. You have confidentiality obligations, licensing and usage considerations, and data quality requirements, especially when it comes to AI. A legal strategy for data needs to be top of mind for leadership. Before it's too late. In this episode we talk with William Tanenbaum , a pioneer in the area of data and the law.

The Fuss About Analytics Management 30:10

30:10

When you look in the dictionary between "hard place" and "rock" you will find "analytics management." Data Consumers demand high-quality data. Data Producers say it's good enough to run the business so it's good enough for you. Management wants peace and quiet. When everything is running smoothly you're invisible. When it's not... Our guest is Deep Sogani , Vice President and Chief of Enterprise Data at Personify Health. He has lived analytics management at all levels at several companies, bringing a breadth and depth of experience here to Rock Bottom.

Everyone says that data has value, but what does that mean? How do you measure that value? This week we talk a little less about people and a little more about business and monetization.

The Fuss About Data Driven 30:53

28 weeks ago30:53

30:53

According to some research, about half of large organizations are“Data Driven,” meaning they are "driving business innovation with data." According to other research, that number is about half of that. But wait, isn’t that what data is for in the first place? Not good enough! So in this episode, we call BS on Data Driven. Our guest is Randy Bean , bestselling author of Fail Fast, Learn Faster: Lessons in Data-Driven Leadership in an Age of Disruption, Big Data, and AI , and a regular contributor to Forbes , Harvard Business Review , and MIT Sloan Management Review on Data & AI leadership.

Data Debt is both a measure and a message. It helps businesses grasp how important data can be, because when all else has failed, many organizations have examined Data Debt and discovered a significant aspect of data resource management.

The Fuss About Data Quality 31:08

31:08

For so many of us, Data Quality is like a healthy diet and daily exercise. You want the benefits, but you don’t want to do what it takes to get them. Interrogating the data is the easy part. Sustaining a Data Quality program requires discipline and culture. It’s what we’ve been saying all along. It’s people. And one of those people is Tom Redman , whom we are excited to welcome to Rock Bottom. Chapters 00:00 - Open & Introduction; 03:34 - Monologue; 06:18 - Tom Redman; 26:06 - Dispatches from Rock Bottom; 28:12 - Audio Rorschach Test; 30:19 - Recap & Close…

The Fuss About Data Ethics 20:08

20:08

So many times we get our words reversed when naming subject areas. Instead of Data Ethics, for example, we should be talking about ethics as applied to data. This ties our interest to the broader discipline. Our guest, Daragh O Brien , is an expert in the field and gives us a lot of food for thought both about how we use data and how we allow our data to be used.

The Fuss About AI 28:17

28:17

The most common fears about artificial intelligence are from movies, and while there are reasons for concern, Skynet becoming sentient and terminating humanity aren’t among them. A lot of great progress is being made in several fields using artificial intelligence and machine learning. Our guest, Wendy Lawhead , shares her experience as a data science and AI practitioner for several companies across multiple industries. Most importantly, successful and sustainable AI requires well understood data so that time is spent on the analytics, not on the preparation. And well understood data requires culture and discipline. It’s all about people. Chapters 00:00 - Open & Introduction; 02:13 - Monologue; 05:47 - Wendy Lawhead; 23:11 - Dispatches from Rock Bottom; 25:18 - Audio Rorschach Test; 27:16 - Recap & Close…
