A few weeks back, right after attending Snowflake Summit, I had the pleasure of chatting with Sanjeev Mohan on his podcast – It Depends. We spent an hour or so chatting about trends in modern data management, data mesh, data vault, my now semi-retired life as an advisor to several Snowflake partners, and my love of martial arts.
So sit back, relax (I did), and enjoy!
Aloha.

A PODCAST FOR DATA AND BUSINESS LEADERS
In case you missed the announcement at the end of last week’s inaugural #DataCloud event, this week, Snowflake launced a new podcast called Rise of the Data Cloud.
Rise of the Data Cloud is an original podcast hosted by award-winning author and journalist, Steve Hamm. In each episode, Steve will speak with a data leader to learn how they leverage the cloud to manage, share, and analyze data to drive business growth, fuel innovation and disrupt their industries.
In the first episode, Steve sits down with our very own Frank Slootman, CEO and Chairman of Snowflake. Frank speaks about some of the powerful new capabilities enabled by our cloud data platform, including the ability to share data with an ease and convenience that was not possible before.
This is really amazing stuff. Unlike anything I have seen in my 30+ year career in data. #LoveMyJob

Happy listening!

A few months back I had the privilege of being interviewed by Tobias Macey on his Data Engineering Podcast show. This came about because Tobias actually Tweeted at me about wanting to do the interview! In this episode we spent an hour discussing the ins and outs of the Snowflake Cloud Data Platform. You can find it here. Hope you enjoy it!
This is a great podcast series, so you might want to add it to your regular list!
Cheers.

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of attending and speaking at the Southern Fried Agile event in Charlotte, North Carolina.
It was quite an event with over 700 people in attendance. This is a primarily local event drawing people mostly from the Charlotte area. To say agile is big in that town is an understatement. There were some very large, name brand, companies present. If you are interested in learning more about taking an agile approach to development, I can highly recommend this event which draws excellent speakers (and vendors) from all over. (And the traditional southern fried lunch was pretty darn good too!)
My talk was on applying agile methods to data warehousing projects. I had a great audience of about 50 who wanted to learn how they might approach their DW projects differently.
In addition to giving my talk I got the opportunity to participate in my 2nd Agile Amped interview. This time my interviewer was Leslie from SolutionsIQ. We talked a lot about the rise of agile in the data warehousing space and how new technology solutions like Snowflake’s Cloud-Native Elastic Data Warehouse are helping organizations achieve a more agile deployment cycle.
Here is the entire interview for your viewing pleasure:
If you want to watch more Agile Amped video podcasts you can find them online here.
Enjoy.
