This podcast is mostly for people interested in data-analytics!  Vincent currently works at Google as a data analyst and specializes in detecting phishing cases and builds models that prevent people from being scammed or cheated from a macro level. I ask him about his journey on how he got into Google, as well as the core fundamentals that it takes to be a solid data analyst. We talk about investing, consulting, his university life at the Singapore Management University, and how he deals with imposter syndrome.   I love his perspective on how he emphasizes that it's the impact of our work that makes a difference in the business, more so than the hard/tangible skill that we acquire, regardless of whether if it's in the field of data analytics of any expertise!
