IN-EAR INSIGHTS: WEEKLY PODCAST FROM TRUST INSIGHTS
Strategy Meets Data. Every Week.
In 30 Minutes or Less.
Most business podcasts are either too academic to be useful or too superficial to be actionable. We built In-Ear Insights to bridge that gap. We skip the banter and get straight to the answers you need to solve your most burning business questions.
The CEO and the Data Scientist.
Here’s the thing: Data is useless without a strategy, and a strategy is just a guess without data.
On In-Ear Insights, we bring those two worlds together using the 5P Framework (Purpose, People, Process, Platform, Performance).
CEO Katie Robbert and Chief Data Scientist Christopher Penn break down the people and processes required to make technology work for your bottom line. We share our wins, our mistakes, and the “Now What” so you can lead with authority.
