My honest thoughts on what data tools to use...

What Data Tools You Should Learn

Dear all, there's a lot of tools in the data world.

But you don't need to master them all. Here are the BEST data tools to start with:

1) Excel
Excel is still King in the data analytics world. Old? Yup. Boring? Maybe. But it's still VERY popular. It's worth learning Excel. It's required in 39% of data analyst job listings. It's also not that hard to learn. You can learn most of it in a week. Start with filtering, sorting, VLOOKUPS/XLOOKUPS, pivot tables, pivot charts, scatter plots, bar charts. That's a great start. 

2) SQL
SQL is the Queen in the data analytics world. And honestly probably the Emperor of the data universe. Learn it. You won't regret it. It's required in 31% of data jobs. It's a bit harder than Excel as it is a programming language, but it's not bad. Learn SELECT, FROM, WHERE, AND, IN, NOT, GROUP BY, AVG, MAX, SUM, HAVING and that's enough to build momentum. 

3) Tableau
Tableau is the Prince of data analytics and the most popular data viz tool. It's required in 21% of data analytics roles. Learn how to make charts & dashboards. I think bar charts, scatter plots, line charts, KPI's, and data visualization principles is enough. Power BI is it's twin. If you learn Tableau, you'll have no problem learning Power BI later.

4) Python
Python is the Wizard in the data kingdom. It's powerful, flexible, and can basically do anything: data cleaning, data modeling, data visualization. But it's hard to master - takes a long time - and is only required 14% of the time. Learn at your own risk. 

5) Power BI
Power BI is the Prince's little brother (also a prince, I guess). I personally think Power BI is easier to use than Tableau, but according to the data, it's only required in 13% of data jobs. 7% less than Tableau. And the fact that it's hard to install (especially on a Mac), lead me to recommend focusing on Tableau first. 

6) R
R is the Royal Scholar of the data kingdom. It's great at statistics and some other things, but not everything. It's not required that often - only 8%. And that 8% is probably government jobs and academia where it has a strong hold. Easier than Python, but less powerful. Personally: Python > R 

Hope this helps,

Avery

What data skills should you learn

It feels extremely overwhelming to see all the super-qualified people applying to an entry-level data analyst job. Especially when you're just getting started But here's a story that should give you hope 👇

I was talking to my data hiring manager friend who explained how he hired his last entry-level position. He didn't actually hire the person with the most data experience. He didn't hire the smartest candidate. Or who was best at SQL.

He hired the person with medium data skills, but a very strong domain background. 

He said, "I can teach them data stuff, but teaching them about the domain would take years"

👉 So apply to data jobs within your domain:

Teacher? Apply to education data jobs.
Accountant? Apply to financial data jobs.
Physical Therapist? Apply to health data jobs. 

I promise you've got this! Don't give up.

I’m excited to announce my next giveaway. This month, it's a copy of 'storytelling with data' by my friend and data viz pro, Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic. This is the absolute best data book to start with in my opinion. It had a huge impact on my work while I was a data scientist at ExxonMobil. 

If you're unfamiliar, Cole is an ex-Googler and has actually taught these data principles to companies like Google, NASA, the IRS, Coca-Cola, and more. If you're just getting started with data, or want to take your skills to the next level, this book is a fantastic resource.

And it actually got published exactly 10 years ago! So to celebrate, Cole sent me a brand new copy to give away to one of my followers (thanks, Cole)!

Landing a data job in 2026 will be hard.
Most people will unfortunately fail. 

Why? I think because it used to be easy. 
Just learn the skills and apply to 25 jobs and you're good.

That's not the case any more.
It's sadly much more involved now.

Still possible? Even with no technical background?
Yes. Here's what I would do if I was in your shoes:

Learn the skills. That's still very important. 
But it's not what lands you the job. It's what qualifies you for the job. 

Landing the job is much more about two forgotten concepts.
Networking & Portfolio Projects.

If you're ignoring these, you're likely to fail.
Luckily, it's not too late or difficult to start these.

Start an online portfolio. Even if it's ugly or empty.
Use LI, Carrd, GitHub - doesn't matter. 

Build at least one good project. Bonus points for more.
Grab a data set and answer: who, how much, when, where, etc.

Optimize your LinkedIn and resume. Spend hours.
These are the tools to actually get noticed.

But don't leave getting noticed to chance. Reach out.
Find recruiters and hiring managers and message them. 

And reach out to friends & family about data.
Just ask, "do you know any data analysts?" 

Weird? A little. Awkward? yes. 
Worth it? 100%

7 Brutal Myths About Data That Are Keeping You Stuck

AI is SO GOOD at analyzing data that it do ANYTHING to make your analysis "good" - even make up data 🤡🙃🤦‍♂️

Here's how AI almost made me lie to the THOUSANDS of you who listen to my podcast ever week. 

For an upcoming episode, I'm doing some financial analysis to compare data roles in different industries. I wanted to show case a few different industries to prove a point. I thought I could show some historic stock trends with a line chart. Should be fairly simple, right?!? 

I was using Claude to make my charts. Everything was going well until I noticed this Meta stock decline looked way too linear. I thought, "Wow! I can't believe how linear the stock fell. Almost a perfect line." And then realized, nothing in life is EVER that linear. So I looked up the actual stock chart and sure enough, not this linear. 

Then I straight up asked Claude if it was making data up. Sure enough, it was. It was "too difficult" to get the right data - much easier to just make it up. UGH! 

This is a great reminder that AI is amazing. But it definitely isn't full-on REPLACING humans anytime soon for data analysis. Is it helpful? Yes. Does it speed up analysis? Yes. Do I use it? Yes. Should you use it? Yes. 

But left on it's own, it will "analyze" "data" so incorrectly it will make you lie to stakeholders, make incorrect decisions as a business, and make you look like a fool.

Double check AI's work - always. 




p.s. did you know I have a LinkedIn Learning course on data analysis using Claude? 🤣

My 5-year back story as a data analytics coach:

-In 2020, I started teaching people Python online during the pandemic. I taught the basics by building insanely fun projects: Mario Cart, Rock-Paper-Scissors, Snake, etc. And I freaking loved it. I loved teaching others data! I then released a free "Predict The Stock Market w/ Python" course.  

-In 2021, I was bored and undervalued at work so I quit my corporate full-time job and set out to design the program I wish I had when I was breaking into data science. I launch the Data Career Podcast and start The Accelerator - all centered around building personal portfolio projects. 

-In 2022, I re-built the program completely from scratch based on what was actually working. I created simpler, more industry-relevant projects. The original projects were super fun, but too complicated. Simple wins. Also, I stopped teaching data science and only data analytics. Data Analyst > Data Scientist when you're getting started. 

-In 2023, I continued posting daily on LinkedIn and cross the 100,000 follower mark. Our students land jobs at NASA, Wells Fargo, and Rivian. I focus mostly on the networking & job hunting portion of the program. We built a job app tracker, interview question database, & resume templates. I also become a dad.

-In 2024, our students continue to land awesome jobs at General Motors, Humana, and Amazon. We built a new community for our students with better forums, live events, leaderboard, and membership directory. I start taking YouTube seriously & eventually hit 50,000 subscribers. I have my second kid at the end of the year. 

-In 2025, we doubled the number of students landing jobs. I added cool resources to the program like: job boards, an AI companion bot, monthly networking events, and co-working hours. I brought on two new coaches to help support time decrease (even on the weekend). 

-In 2026, I plan on doing more of the exact same. Just more. And better.

Which ones of these 7 data career myths is keeping you stuck on your data journey?

7 false myths keeping you stuck in your data journey

Data interviews are super scary & hard, but luckily there's one simple thing you can do to make them suck less...

Practice!

When I finally landed my first data analyst interview, I can't tell you how nervous I was. It felt my whole career was depending on it! I was so anxious I had my wife conduct mock interviews with me. And it worked! I got the offer! I owe a lot of my career to that job and I owe that job to practicing my interview questions (shout out my wife!) 

But how do you practice interviews?

I made you a FREE practice mock interview with 3 commonly asked questions that you can practice TODAY! I ask you the question, you pause the interviews and answer, and then I show you a good and bad answer. It's judgement free practice. 

Interviews stop being scary when you've already done a rehearsal of what you're going to say. I promise the more you practice, the less nervous you'll get. The less nervous you get, the better you'll do. The better you perform, the more offers you'll get. The more offers you get, the more money you make. Practice = $$$. 

Ready to practice?!? 
Video version: https://lnkd.in/eREgAfbT

A) Try the practices right now

C) Reshare this post so others can try it

It’s not about how many weapons you have. It’s not about ammunition. It’s about whether you are willing to fight and die for freedom.
 
Yes, it’s nice that NATO has a Canadian-led brigade in Latvia. But what’s their order if Russian troops cross the border? Will they shoot? We all know the answer. It will take ages to negotiate. There is no clarity. No resolve.
 
And yet we are still debating a “peace deal” drafted by a business partner of Donald Trump. A real estate transaction disguised as #strategy – designed to enrich Trump’s family while selling Ukraine’s future.
 
How can we seriously discuss forcing Ukraine to dismantle defensive fortifications that are literally protecting #Europe ?
 
We're celebrating NATO. But let’s be honest: NATO is not strong right now. NATO barely exists. It’s four letters on paper.
 
The only reason we are sitting here today, comfortably talking about NATO, is because Ukraine is dyiпg every minute. If Ukraine hadn’t stood its ground, Russian tanks would already be in Poland. You offered President Zelenskyy a ride out — he replied: “I don’t need a ride. I need ammunition.”
 
Four years Ukraine has been fighting Europe’s war. Russia has been preparing for only one kind of conflict: a war to destroy free Europe. And Ukraine is the only country fighting that war right now.
 
And yet here we are — still debating whether Ukraine should be included or not. Ukraine is the only nation fulfilling NATO’s purpose. And we owe them everything.”

☝️ Gary Kasparov is one of the very few voices of reason today. A member of thee russian opposition who stands up for Ukraine in ways many of us won't.

And Kasparov is 100% right. NATO is a joke, Trump is a grifter selling out Europe’s #security and Ukraine is saving all our a**es while we squabble.

🇺🇸 Next president of #USA ? 
"When Donald Trump was driving the Taj Mahal casino into bankruptcy, I was getting sh0t at over Iraq and Kuwait.

In 2001, after Donald Trump said that the collapse of the Twin Towers now meant he now owned the tallest skyscraper in Manhattan, I was carrying flags honoring 911 victims into space on a rocket ship.

In 2003, when Donald Trump was writing birthday greetings to the monster, Jeffrey Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts who diєd when Space Shuttle Columbia exploded during re-entry.

In 2011, when Trump was hosting a reality show, and peddling conspiracy theories against President Barack Obama, I was sitting next to my wife’s hospital bed as she recovered from a guпshot wouпd to the head."

Kelly drew the contrast Trump fears most:

A life of service vs. a life of scams.

📌 America isn’t collapsing because of external enemies.

It’s collapsing because its elites reward narcissism over service, narratives over honor, and corruption over truth.

Kelly is just pointing out the obvious.

#Leadership #PublicSpeaking

🇺🇦 The time for hesitation is over. The world must stand with #Ukraine now.

President Zelenskyy’s address laid out the brutal reality: “a very difficult choice… either loss of dignity or risk of losing a key partner,” and the threat of an extremely hard winter.

Yet he insists Ukraine “will definitely not give the enemy reason to say that Ukraine does not want peace.”

⚙️ His message to partners like the 🇺🇸#USA was clear: cooperation continues, calmly and constructively, but freedom is non-negotiable. Ukraine won’t be coerced into some Kremlin-approved “peace” that trades sovereignty for silence.

🔥 He called Ukrainians “titans” and “made of steel,” but warned that even steel can bend under enough pressure. 

Which is why the West cannot let the shield crack. russia would love nothing more than to frame Kyiv as the obstacle, and the information pressure next week will be intense.

🧩 At home, he demanded unity: “stop the mess, stop political games.” A warring parliament and government must act as one, especially when Moscow’s #disinformation is working overtime to divide them.

💛 His final line hit hardest: they did not betray Ukraine in February 2022, “and will not do it now.” The strength of the Ukrainian people, and their belief in their state, is what keeps dignified peace even imaginable.

The choice is ours too. #Europe must support Ukraine now, or watch the cracks appear where the Kremlin wants them most.

"We are finally FREE!"
📸 Liberation of Kherson, 2022. The smile and joy as he says "NO RUSSIANS" is so infectious.

We in the "Free World" have no clue what #freedom actually means.

It's something our ancestors fought and diєd for. Something we now take for granted.

We have no clue what freedom actually means.

But this guy does.

#Ukraine does.

That is why they fight the invaders.

And that is why we must #StandWithUkraine

☝️ This isn't Hiroshima in August or Dresden in February 1945.
This is Vovchansk, #Ukraine in December 2025 - just before Christmas.

And we in #Europe just let it all happen, all over again, while whispering "not our war..."

Just like last time.

#History

Occupation is 𝐧𝐨𝐭 Peace.
☝️ For those still in the dark: russian occupation means detention camps, t0rture, vi0lence, mutilati0ns, and кillings.

And all who pretend otherwise are part of the problem.

📈 Putin can't launch his next war without first mobilizing #Ukraine’s massive resources, strategic location and surviving population. In EVERY area of Ukraine that russians have managed to occupy, all men are forced into the russian #military as first-line cannon fodder, merely to absorb Ukrainian artillery and drone strikes.

This is why 16% of the 'russian' soldiers taken prisoner turn out to be Ukrainian men from occupied territories, forced to fight their own country.

No amount of ceasefires will stop this 𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐞.

And the real кilling doesn't start until Russia is given control of land. Look at ANY area of Ukraine (or Georgia or Chechnya) that Russians have managed to occupy - t0rture and worse, l00ting, кilling at an industrial scale.

🚫 It happens off camera, in basements, with a captive population. We get little footage of this - below is an exception.

And this is why the #Ethics community struggles to show to vain, peaceful westerners why occupation is not peace. The #Data about occupation is either missing or too grues0me to show.

But we know the mass 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 near occupied Mariupol are growing, year after year. We can see this from space.

Visit Ukraine to understand, feel what it's like to be b0mbed night after night, before you talk about "stopping the кilling" - because surrender to Moscow surely won't stop it.

Pacifism is a Privilege. 

#Journalism #Intelligence

Russia attacks = no escalation 
#Ukraine defends = escalation
Very suspicions #Journalism by #BBC

🛢And if you honestlt think this is a Ukrainian escalation, you missed Russia directly targeting a Ukrainian LPG ship at port causing the evacuation of towns in Romania.

🤖 Nigerian Princes are overtaking our politics #online
Because #Disinformation is a profit model.

📍 When #X began revealing user locations, something embarrassing happened for a whole swath of “white Christian Conservative Nationalists” with millions of followers:

They turned out to be… posting from Nigeria. Or Bangladesh. Or India.

Meaning:
❌ Not white
❌ Not Christian
❌ Not American
❌ Not nationalists
✔️ Outrage entrepreneurs

They farm outrage for clicks: blaming migrants, Democrats, LGBTQ people, whatever generates engagement - because it gets them paid.

📊 If you live in a country where the median income is a few hundred dollars a year…

…and you can make Western dollars by pretending to be a “concerned citizen” in the #USA or #EU and posting inflammatory nonsense…

Why wouldn’t thousands of people start doing it?

This creates a tidal wave of noise:

💩 We can debunk a single speck of this BS…but they produce BS by the truckload - because the BS itself is profitable.

You cannot “fact-check” your way out of a system where lies are more profitable and thus scale faster than truth. Where disinformation is literally a #business opportunity.

And this is only going to get worse.

☝️ So next time you see an online "concerned citizen" from your country spewing outrage rhetoric, remember:

They might not be from your country at all.

PS: Other examples include Polish "Nationalists" criticizing #Ukraine whose VPNs come straight from russia. 

Or "European farmers" on #SocialMedia who are actually from Pakistan. Or "Texans" who only publish at late at night...
