Data Voyagers Podcast

Somewhere right now, a server is running a job that nobody remembers asking for. It spun up months ago, for a project that shipped, or maybe one that never did, and it has been quietly humming along ever since. Every hour, it costs a little. Nobody sees it. Nobody turns it off. Because turning things off was never the exciting part.

We did not fall in love with data because of the meter. We fell in love with the build. That moment an idea becomes a pipeline, a model, a dashboard that makes the whole room go quiet for a second. And the cloud made that feeling intoxicating. It told us we could have everything, right now, forever. Spin up whatever you want. Scale to the moon. Worry about the bill later.

Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador MVP Igor Alcantara, Qlik Partner and Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this episode brings Sidney Drill as a guest. Sidney is the Global Solutions Director at Qlik and a good part of her job is related to FinOps and to understand the real cost and value of data.

You ask questions every day. Always have. You asked them before you could read, before you could write, well before anyone handed you a dashboard. Questions feel natural. They feel automatic. Questions were the beginning of Philosophy and Science.

But think about the last conversation where someone walked away with completely the wrong idea of what you needed. Or the last time you got a technically correct answer that was totally useless. It happens at work, at home, in relationships. The person answering is not always the problem.

Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador MVP Igor Alcantara, Qlik Partner and Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this episode brings a very special guest, Qlik's own Data Cathedral Architect, and Chief Question Officer, the one and only Qlik Dork, Dalton Ruer.

There is a moment in every great match that nobody saw coming. The pass, no model would recommend. The run that made no sense until it did. We watch sports for that. The thing you cannot predict.

And yet, right now, somewhere behind that pitch, a room full of people is trying to predict exactly that. Measuring every step. Every sprint. Every heartbeat. The most human, chaotic, emotional thing we do, the beautiful game, has quietly become one of the most measured things on the planet.

Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador MVP Igor Alcantara, and #Qlik Partner and Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this episode talks about Data Analytics in Sports. The World Cup is here and with that, lots of data, statistics, and analysis. We start with the World Cup, we go back to where this whole thing began, and we look at how real teams use this today, from Football to Hockey and more.

There is a moment some people hit in their careers. They stop being someone who uses a tool and start being someone who believes in it. They write the blog post nobody asked for. They answer forum questions at 11pm. They drive six hours to speak at a conference they could have watched from home.

Qlik has two programs working on exactly that. One for partners. One for customers. Different audiences, but the same instinct behind both: that the most credible voices in any community are usually not the ones on the payroll.

Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassadors Igor Alcantara and Angelika Klidas, this episode features two people from Qlik's Advocacy team: Sarah Urbiss and Michael Fawcett. In this episode, they talk about these programs, what criteria are used to select people, some of the benefits and great stories and lessons learned over the years.

AI is showing up in every tool, every workflow, and every job description. But understanding how to use it is still treated like something you either pick up on your own or just don't bother with.

Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this episode features some of the members of the Women Who Qlik group: Stephanie Robinson, Priscila Paolinelli, and Gwen Stamp.

In this episode, they talk about what AI literacy actually means in practice. Not the hype version. The real one, where you have to figure out what these tools are good at, where they fall short, and how to build enough confidence to have an opinion about it.

The conversation gets into why literacy matters more than technical skill right now, what gets in the way of people actually learning, and what it looks like when a community decides to take that seriously.
