Analytics Pitfalls & Principles

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Brian, and I've spent 25+ years leading data & analytics teams. In small businesses all the way up to the Fortune 5. But this isn't another course. Or tool. Or feed to scroll. **This is where we slow down—together.** 🏃 **The Problem:** We're all on a treadmill. More dashboards. More metrics. More feeds. More data. More content. More AI promising to accelerate everything we do. But nobody's asking: "When do we slow down and actually get better?" **I continually tell my team: "Slow down the treadmill."** But I realized—slowing down alone doesn't work. We need to slow down **together**. 🌿 **What This Is:** Analytics Pitfalls & Principles is where data and analytics leaders slow down—together. Not to consume more content. To actually learn: • **Learn through stories that stick**, not feeds that fade • **Share your scars** so others don't repeat them • **Invest in yourself**—and prove it by showing up • **Help each other get better**—because that's how YOU feel better **The Content:** • 15 Pitfall & Principle cards that rotate monthly (with 3 tactical steps each) • A 25K-word business fable following Sarah Chen's transformation, and tapping into my love of cars • Community stories from analytics leaders around the world **The Difference:** When people invest ($15/month), they show up. They engage. They help. The become part of a community. This isn't lurkers scrolling feeds. It's leaders who chose to slow down—together. 💎 **Why "Together" Matters:** You can't slow down alone. The treadmill pulls you back. But when you're part of a community that invested in slowing down? That committed to learning through stories? That helps each other get better? **That's when the magic happens.** You're not consuming content. You're part of a community where: • Stories teach better than feeds • Helping others helps you • Slowing down makes you faster (together) **Free tier:** 3 cards, chapters 1, 2 & 7 of the fable, and previews of the stories submitted by others **Premium:** 12 additional rotating cards monthly, full fable, community access 🙏 **What I'd Love From This Community:** 1. Try the free tier—see if this resonates 2. Tell me: Are you tired of the treadmill? 3. If you've lived through a pitfall, share your story This is 20+ years of scar tissue, distilled into a place where we slow down—together. **What's the analytics mistake you keep seeing repeated?** — Brian P.S. The treadmill never stops unless we choose to slow it down. Only you (or a friend) can press the speed down button when the world around you is pressing speed up. And we do that better—together.
