Join me as we get to the core of data-driven success in this episode as I give a high level look at the Data Science Hierarchy of Needs. Uncover why this concept is important for developing responsible data solutions and the crucial role data professionals play in its implementation

We break down the layers, confront potential resistance to it's implementation, and understand the responsibility that comes with developing impactful data solutions. I hope you enjoy this discussion and it enables you on your journey, ascending the Data Science Hierarchy and shaping a future where innovation meets responsibility.

Welcome to the debut episode of GeoData! Join me, John, as I share my journey from South Africa to the USA, where I pursued GIS studies at university. Over the past seven years, I've immersed myself in the world of Geospatial and Data Engineering, encountering challenges, gaining insights, and shaping my path in this dynamic field.

In this episode, I reflect on my experiences, from navigating the intricacies of mapping projects to delving into the complexities of big data. I'll touch on the unique challenges I faced as a South African student in the USA and share snippets of my adventures and breakthroughs in the GIS landscape.

Additionally, I'll give you a glimpse into my business, Geoscrub, and how it emerged from a passion for solving geospatial challenges. Whether you're a GIS professional or just curious about the world of data and geography, this episode provides a personal insight into my journey and sets the stage for the exciting discussions to come on GeoData.
