What are you grateful for this year?
There are a lot of things to be worried about right now – budgets, politics, climate, etc., etc. – you know all the things. Which means it’s a good time to step back and reflect on what you’re grateful for. It’s U.S. Thanksgiving this week, so I asked our Slack Community, Analytics for Marketers, what they are grateful for. It’s a great reminder that not everything is terrible.
Here is a sample of what they said:
- Katie:
- my little family
- my cozy home
- built a company that allows for good work/life balance
- coffee
- Christopher:
- me and my loved ones’ continued good health
- Hannah:
- a family I love and that loves me back (In-laws included!)
- Todd:
- to make it through the year!
- that the bar I went to on Fridays reopened (as a BBQ restaurant) so I have an excuse to leave the house and meet up with friends, who keep me sane(-ish)
- wonderful online communities like Analytics for Marketers, Measure Chat, SmarterX, and others
- Kelsey:
- finally work for a company that cares about the employees
- still have a job in this insane economy
- friends who carry the ability to show our love for one another and who continue to love me all these years later
- Taco Bell
- Joy:
- my person
- our fluffy kitty
- our home
- family and friends
- the clients I have keeping us afloat
- this group and our silliness and brainpower!
- Kaye:
- my family and friends
- Jim:
- got added to the ChatGPT Enterprise pilot program at work and encouraged to mess around with it
- Lisa:
- the giant family I found through a DNA test
- have broken the generational stuff on my mother’s side
- My adult kids actually like my company
- my husband of 26 years and his equally giant family
- an incredible community
- Anthony:
- this “virtual” community who shares more, helps more, and checks in more than almost all of my IRL groups, friends, and “community”
- Sunny:
- a strong community of friends
- healthy family
- a squad of incredible women who speak my name in rooms when I’m not there
- John:
- things are ok in all three circles: health, family, work
- Tris:
- still here kicking around
- getting healthier (down nearly 20 lbs since July)
- my family is healthy
- all you in this community for giving me a place to be as geeky as I truly am
- Leslie:
- Almost being finished with my PhD
- Podcast is super fun to record and has more listers each month
- Having a great doggo who loves all dogs and people
- Having such a big friend group that shares my science-first airborne illness aware protocols so we can keep hanging out
- Margie:
- I can buy food though the prices are high
- I have graduated from pickle plate girl to side dish cooker for Thanksgiving
- this community – everybody is amazing
- you and that Chris guy. You’ve taught me so much this year!

Almost every AI course is the same, conceptually. They show you how to prompt, how to set things up – the cooking equivalents of how to use a blender or how to cook a dish. These are foundation skills, and while they’re good and important, you know what’s missing from all of them? How to run a restaurant successfully. That’s the big miss. We’re so focused on the how that we completely lose sight of the why and the what.
This is why our new course, the AI-Ready Strategist, is different. It’s not a collection of prompting techniques or a set of recipes; it’s about why we do things with AI. AI strategy has nothing to do with prompting or the shiny object of the day — it has everything to do with extracting value from AI and avoiding preventable disasters. This course is for everyone in a decision-making capacity because it answers the questions almost every AI hype artist ignores: Why are you even considering AI in the first place? What will you do with it? If your AI strategy is the equivalent of obsessing over blenders while your steakhouse goes out of business, this is the course to get you back on course.
