Guess what? I missed you! After focusing on making our first BI Data Storytelling Accelerator - 3-day live workshop a major success, I'm back! Registration is now open for the next workshop on January 28-30, 2020. It's the hottest thing since fried rice! Today, I talk to the amazing Alberto Cairo, author of How Charts Lie. He's an AoF alumni, who was on my very first AoF podcast episode where we were the first to announce The Functional Art (one of the most well-known books in our industry). Stay tuned to the end for an insane book giveaway you won't find anywhere else!

In this episode, you'll learn:

[12:00] Learn why Alberto warns: "Be aware of what some people call the Curse of Knowledge."
[19:11] Key Quote: A visualization can only be worth a 1,000 words if we know how to read it. - Alberto Cairo
[21:41] Key ways to overcome biases: Steps to read a visual. Read the title, message, and patterns
