Can Numbers Really Rescue Lives?

🎙️ NEW EPISODE: How Data Became the New Currency of Influence — with Justin Evans

In this episode of Money Matters, host Chris Hensley sits down with Justin Evans, author of the soon-to-be-released The Little Book of Data, to uncover how data has quietly become the most powerful asset of the 21st century—even more influential than money itself.

💡 Key takeaways from this episode:

Data is everywhere—even in everyday moments like getting an Uber or visiting the doctor. Justin shares his personal story of how a simple day revealed dozens of invisible data collection points.

Data tells a story. Learn how data science helped New York City identify COVID-19 hotspots and saved an estimated 300,000 lives—thanks to the same military strategy used at the Battle of Thermopylae.

Good data vs. bad data. Justin breaks down why data bullies—people who use data to intimidate—are one of the biggest obstacles to data literacy.

The emotional side of data ethics. Hear the powerful story of “Priya,” a data analyst using her skills to fight human trafficking and save lives—proving that data, when used ethically, can be a force for good.

Unlocking hidden business opportunities. From Amazon’s advertising empire to local nonprofits, Justin shows how organizations can tap into the “latent gold” already sitting in their data.

📚 The Little Book of Data launches this June—making data approachable, actionable, and even entertaining for everyone, from business leaders to everyday consumers.
