Most organizations are drowning in dashboards, KPIs, and visualizations, but starving for insights.

In this episode of Mavens of Data, we’ll chat with Brent Dykes, Founder of AnalyticsHero and author of Effective Data Storytelling, to break down one of the biggest misconceptions in analytics: a chart is not a story, and a data point is not an insight.

Whether you're a data scientist, business analyst, product manager, or analytics leader, this episode will reshape how you communicate with data. If you’ve ever wondered why your dashboards aren’t driving decisions, this conversation will hit home.

What You'll Learn:

• What actually qualifies as an insight

• How to distinguish reporting ("the what") from storytelling ("the why")

• Why answering “so what?” is the key to influence

• The role AI will play in generating insights and telling stories
