Welcome to the Data Stack Show Prequel. This is a short bonus episode where we preview the upcoming show. You'll get to meet our guest and hear about the topics we're going to cover. If they're interesting to you, you can catch the full-length show when it drops on Wednesday.
All right. Welcome back to the data stack show. We have Ben Rogajan here with us for the third time, I believe. So welcome back, Ben. Hey, yeah. Thank you. Thank you so much. What'd you been up to? I mean, you know, some of the same, some different, you know. continuing consulting, helping companies, set up their data stacks, untangle messes, and also just trying to build some communities for both data leaders and consultants as well.
Yeah, so I got it to you up for this. Tell us more about Technical Freelancer Academy. I think you've started that since we last talked. So I'll give you a minute. Let's talk about that for a minute. And then we got a lot of topics to cover. Oh, yeah, for sure. No, I just kept having people ask me about... consulting. And I was like, all right, let me create a space where people can go. One, I can put content that's specifically around consulting.
People can learn from it. But also, you know, for people who maybe need some accountability or just want to see what other people are doing, it's a space you can go ask questions. People like to do like weekly updates where they're like, hey, here's things I did well, here's things I did maybe poorly. Here's some things I'm learning about. And so it has that accountability. It has that information. So that's what I'm really trying to do is just create a space that, again, if you're...
If you're starting to go consulting, you can kind of see what it's like. Or if you haven't made the jump yet, you can kind of see what people's problems are. You know, there's no glitz and glamour there. No one's saying like, I'm making 10 million dollars a year. People are like, hey, sometimes this is hard. And so that's really the goal of this space.
Yeah, it's a little bit different than a lot of the ones that I've seen where people, you know, you've got the screenshots of the Shopify store or the marketing, you know, campaign with like however many million dollars. It's a little bit different space than that, but I can attest to, you know, great community. I've actually...
about some people through the community. So it's a good place to hang out. It's been cool to see different people grow. I think we just saw, what is it, Jeff and Yuki both kind of go back into full time. But because sort of they were consulting, so it's kind of interesting to see that switch.
She was like, oh, we're consulting. Then we get pulled into some sort of full-time role because we were consulting. And so it's interesting watching that game out. Yeah. Awesome. All right. That's a wrap for the prequel. The full-length episode will drop Wednesday morning. Subscribe now so you don't miss it.
