    The course was pretty successful - thousands of certificates awarded, very high rating. One of several Google <> Coursera certificates. I learned a ton about project management from the folks who ran the show.

    I don't do a lot of hands on data viz these days, so I appreciate the opportunity to use the knowledge. Teaching this course is super fun, I love talking about data viz with other people. Hit me up if this material sounds interesting!

    I opened a shopify store that sold digital maps. I wired up Google Ads & Facebook Ads to learn the platforms from the user perspective. I didn't sell many digital maps, but learned a lot.

    This wasn't a successful store, but it was a great learning opportunity.
