MD101 is Kickstarting a New Journey ✈ | Issue #47
Something new for all readers!
Drum rolls 🥁🥁🥁……….
We're excited to share that MD101 has expanded into a new space to host a much more diverse basket of actionable resources, insights, and ideas!
While our newsletters have been warmly received and shared by so many wonderful supporters, we have long felt the need to create and curate more diverse materials for our readers.
As the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre famously said, “commitment is an act, not a word.” We made a promise some time ago to bring in the best of the data domain for our readers, and we intend to deliver on that promise.
Today, we proudly announce the launch of our brand new website
for Modern Data 101!
With a dedicated website, we hope to bring in more inclusivity, more actionable resource formats, the likes of templates, canvases, or exhaustive reads, and, of course, cater to a much wider band of data citizens.
We’re building the dotcom to be packed with “all things data” that supercharges your knowledge with high-quality reads, templates, end-to-end modules, and much more. So, hop on the ride and be the Data Ninja the world clearly needs. 🥷
Building with you 🍻
With this launch, we are unhesitatingly making the next promise- to drop more cool and unique stuff, which are already brewing! 🥘
While the dotcom is still in its adolescent stage, we still wanted to bring it to you with the information we have curated so far and build from there. We’d love to hear from you on:
What type of resources would help
What features would help
Who you’d like to hear from more
Or any other feedback you may have!
Here’s a glimpse of everything we’ve prepared for you in this first release, and it’s all just the first of many things you’ll see on MD101. Behind the scenes, we are consistently working on diverse actionable assets for you in collaboration with analytics and product experts 🥸
Easy Access to Knowledge 💡
Learn all things happening in the modern data space in one place.
We could not agree more that the Internet is loaded with articles, podcasts, webinars, courses, and whatnot, and of course, redundant spinups on all, but we’ve attempted to filter out the labour of going through the endless search results. We will consistently curate resourcess and insights for you that are verified for value by us.
