Episode Synopsis

Most of us hear terms like AI, machine learning, and data science thrown around interchangeably, and if you’ve ever quietly wondered what any of it actually means, you’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and data scientist, Rachel Levy⁠⁠, to break down what data science really is and how it shows up in the products we use every day.We talk through the difference between AI, machine learning, and data science in plain English, how concepts like supervised and unsupervised learning power things like Netflix recommendations, and what Rachel’s day-to-day actually looks like as a data scientist, including the tools she uses like Python and K-nearest neighbors.We wrap with a lifestyle segment on colored sneakers at the office and why the Aritzia Effortless Pant⁠⁠ has quietly become a staple in our work wardrobes.If you’ve ever wanted to feel more confident talking about data and more comfortable navigating modern work style, this one’s for you.
