Talk Data To Me | Episode 1 | Introduction

In the first episode of Talk Data To Me, hosts Rashmi and Avinash from UXLI take us on a journey from data chaos to clarity. With Chris Gregg guiding the conversation, they uncover why so many businesses struggle to get value from their analytics despite having endless tools and platforms. From battling spreadsheet addiction to bridging the gap between technical and business teams, this episode lifts the lid on the real reason dashboards so often disappoint—and how smart systems and a ‘translation layer’ could change everything. We explore how AI fits into the modern data landscape, why proof-of-concept projects can act like Trojan horses, and how oversaturation with tools is leading to more noise, not more insight. Rashmi and Avinash share practical, real-world solutions for simplifying data infrastructure, improving decision-making, and designing analytics systems that speak your language—not just SQL. If you're tired of chasing numbers through endless reports, drowning in Excel sheets, or getting lost in dashboards that overpromise and underdeliver, this episode offers a fresh, funny, and eye-opening take on what data should be doing for your business. #TalkDataToMe #UXLI #DataClarity #AnalyticsSimplified #CorporateData #AIInBusiness #SmartDashboards #DataTranslationLayer #ExcelAddiction #ProofOfConcept #DigitalTransformation #BusinessAnalytics #DataStrategy #TooManyTools #DataDrivenDecisions #DataPodcast
