Avinash these are both must listen podcasts, thanks so much for sharing them (I guess that credit should go to Bryan!). As you mention it was clear that you guys had fun.

Great podcasts Avinash & Bryan. It was very educational, there was so much in there. I agree with your point of view on enterprise class analytics tools and your 10/90 and 80/20 rules are awesome!

Like Nate I am strongly encouraging my boss to read your book.

Avinash,

Happened to meet you at the ACCM Conference in Boston and was impressed with your presentation (both content and enthusiasm). I heartily concur with Jim Sterne’s assessment of your passion and zeal (intro of your book). Hell, I was impressed enough to come back to my new boss with a recommendation that he purchase your book so I could get a proper grasp of Web Analytics.

Regarding the pods, I found them excellent distillations of your books principles. A major takeaway for me (spoiler warning) is the idea of immediately looking at bounce rate. As a newcomer to the field, and as one hired from a totally different training venue, I’ve kept my eyes open for a good starting point to apply the principles of your book/presentations and I'm grateful for a focus point such as this to latch onto. Anyway I appreciate all your insights and hope to see you back in Boston sometime.
