The 2025 Data Recap

Dec 31, 2025

Today is New Year's Eve and we're somehow at the end of 2025.

Time truly flies.

But what better time to look back on the last year than...today?

So that's what I wanted to do in this week's video.

Today, I'm going to recap:
- Some of the big happenings over the past 12 months
- Common things I've noticed with clients
- Some personal reflections as we head into 2026.

We'll cover things like AI, the dbt/Fivetran Merger and why access to unlimited information won't solve everything.

My hope is that by going through some of those things, they might be helpful for you as well.

Or simply serve as a good reminder to look back on in the future.

Enjoy and Happy New Year!
