On this episode on Not Rocket Science, I recap a post on IG that TRIGGERED me in regards to using vanity metrics - ie. blanket data metrics that are easily manipulated, and do not necessarily correlate to the numbers that really matter to make someone look good - to persuade people into buying into an agenda. I deep dive into why people use vanity metrics, how to spot them and breakdown what was flawed in the specific use case that made me throw an IG fit. This episode is basically centered around how to cut through the BS at work and figure out whether "data" that is being presented ultimately matters on any true level. In addition, I talk about the awesome current weather streak in NYC and give my quick review on Quentin Tarantino's new movie as a quick diversion from the normal biz talk. All that and more on the latest episode of NRS!

Have a request, comment, question, or hate rant against us? Get frustrated by Al at work using Vanity metrics to take credit for crap he didn’t do? Don’t care about all them damn metrics but love Tarantino? Hit us up!!
