What happens when an AI starts asking better questions than you?

In this 60-minute episode, I share the real story behind “The AI That Thinks Like an Analyst” — a Streamlit + GPT-4 project that changed the way I see data, curiosity, and creativity.

This isn’t a technical tutorial. It’s a journey into the mind of a data professional learning to think deeper — and how building this AI taught me the most human lesson of all: how to stay curious.

We’ll explore:

    Why the hardest part of analysis isn’t code — it’s curiosity.How I built a privacy-first Streamlit app that generates questions instead of answers.What AI can teach us about slowing down, observing, and thinking like explorers.The moment I realized data analysis and self-reflection are the same skill.

If you’ve ever felt stuck staring at your data, unsure what to ask next — this episode is for you.
