Key topics discussed
Introductions
Dave and Kelsey talk about what Dave’s job entails as well as how the Data Analytics apprenticeship has helped him with his role.

Some truths are revealed in a game of Never have I ever. They discuss funny yet frustrating work mistakes, and job interviews that haven't gone as planned.
Industry myths
Kelsey reads out a series of statements to hear Dave’s views on data analytics and working in the marketing industry. They discuss topics such as whether data is only about numbers, whether data can help us predict the future, and the many industries where data analytics is necessary.
