anthony goblin cattle co founder CEO other night was a fun interactive audience we had a yeah we had a good group and it seems like um yeah it's a good group it seems like people are open to asking questions and we had a good dialogue during their during the talk I think that we have had a lot of very high profile case studies of data being used to do kind of pretty sexy cool things there's the Moneyball case study where the Oakland A's were able to spend dramatically less to have a very successful team you have the Obama admitted excess Phylly into elections now to win elections and these have been published widely and they've gotten a lot of attention and they're just sort of quite sexy use cases and I think that has given a lot of business leaders the intuition that data is quite powerful and can probably do pretty interesting things for their businesses as well I think that a couple of things I think that first of all it sounds like a lot of the audience were already familiar with cattle and spend a bit of time on Carol I wanted to share some of the things that we're doing that may be useful for them that they're less familiar with the other yeah and also some of the lessons that we've learned we've we're in an unusual position in the data science ecosystem and so being able to share some of the things that we have learned from our community I think was a good opportunity obviously going to give you a very self-interested answer I which is to compete in cattle competitions I think it's I think there are different types of people who learn differently so there's the learning by doing a university course or reading and so for those people text books are good and and online courses like horse or Sarah good for those people who like learning by doing I can Carol is very good it gives you a chance to you know you sort of hit a problem and then you read the book and figure out how to solve it and it's more it's certainly a way that I think isn't particularly engaging way to learn
