USE DATA TO MAKE BETTER DECISIONS

Most people, particularly most voice actors, don't get overly excited when you mention something like data analysis. We've got quite enough to do already to run our businesses as VOpreneurs.

However, there's a lot of information that can be gleaned from data. Data that can help us make better informed decisions. Data that can help us figure out where to focus our efforts (or not focus our efforts). Data that can point us in a better direction.

In this episode, David Cui Cui, voice actor and Data Analyst, shares insights with Marc Scott and a number of different ways looking at data can help voice actors run their businesses more efficiently and successfully.
