The world of data is incredibly massive. For anyone looking to start their journey in a data profession, it can quickly become an overwhelming endeavor. No one knows this better than Colby Schrauth.
Colby took a non-linear path to becoming a data professional. His educational background is Finance, but he’s spent the majority of his professional career in Business Development roles – selling payroll to small businesses for ADP, helping large enterprises understand the value of online communities with Lithium Technologies, and more. However, the goal of becoming a practitioner of data persisted throughout these experiences.
Along the path to becoming a data professional, Colby was constantly battling internal thoughts of discouragement:
• I don’t have a Computer Science background, will I ever be taken seriously?
• What data tools should I learn, and how do I get started?
• The data ecosystem is complicated and evolving quickly, will I be able to keep up?
The list goes on, and on. Here’s the good news, this real-world experience is what makes him the ideal teacher for those who wish to forge their own path in the world of data. Colby believes that anyone with patience and a deep desire to learn can develop a concrete understanding of data and how to work with it. He’s on an entrepreneurial mission to share the epiphany moments he’s had along the way, and create a linear learning path so that others don’t have to learn the hard way, like he did.
