For Brave and True OnlyFrom rural Brazil to one of the country’s largest banks, Matheus’ journey could inspire many. Similarly to our previous guest, Iyar Lin, Matheus was interested in politics, but switched to economics, where he fell in love with math. Observing the state of the industry, he quickly realized that without causality, we cannot answer some of the most interesting business questions. His popular online book 'Causal Inference for The Brave and True' was a side effect of his strong drive to learn causal inference and causal machine learning, while collecting as much feedback as possible along the way. Did he succeed? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ About The GuestMatheus Facure is a Staff Data Scientist at Nubank and the author of "Causal Inference for The Brave and True" and "Causal Inference in Python".Connect with Matheus: - Matheus on Twitter/X- Matheus on LinkedIn - Matheus's web pageAbout The HostAleksander (Alex) Molak is an independent machine learning researcher, educator, entrepreneur and a best-selling author in the area of causalityConnect with Alex: - Alex on the InternetLinksBooks - Facure (2023) – Causal Inference in Python- Molak (2023) – Causal Inference and Discovery in PythonWebcasts - AMA WebcastsCausal Bandits TeamProject Coordinator: Taiba Malik Video and Audio Editing: Navneet Sharma, Aleksander Molak Support the showCausal Bandits PodcastCausal AI || Causal Machine Learning || Causal Inference & DiscoveryWeb: https://causalbanditspodcast.comConnect on LinkedIn:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/aleksandermolak/Join Causal Python Weekly: https://causalpython.io  The Causal Book: https://amzn.to/3QhsRz4
