Metrics That Matter: What Do You Measure & Why Is It Important?

Get prepared for some numbers people, we're diving deep into the analytical, engineering minds of the Mere Mortals. In Episode #246 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: the reasoning behind talking about metrics & my general philosophy, realisations that it's possible to go overboard, sleep/financial/fitness/random data that we collect and analyse, qualitative metrics that are harder to measure, what happens when the process goes wrong, an example of unique podcasting metrics and a CTA to check out our Discord. As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
