Podcast Overview
<p><i>One Version of the Truth</i> is an executive interview series about how innovation and growth actually happen. After more than a decade working in data, I’ve heard the phrase “one version of the truth” repeated inside countless organizations. In practice, it is rarely that simple. Best practices alone do not drive transformation. What moves companies forward are leaders who make judgment calls, weigh trade-offs, and commit to a version of reality they are willing to act on, even when it is incomplete or contested.</p><p></p><p>Season one focuses on data, analytics, and AI as levers for business change, with future seasons expanding into leadership, entrepreneurship, and growth.</p>
