Live Interview with Peter Schryvers – Feb. 6, 2020 – Ol’ Beautiful Brewing Co.

More than just the contents of the book, Schryvers and Krause talk about the challenge of writing a book, some of the roadblocks along the way and some of the most compelling data sets.

In a book about measuring data, Krause asked Schryvers if measuring book sales was the proper way to determine the success of the book – find out he has to say!

Schryvers also teases a couple of potential new book ideas now that he’s got a taste for putting pen to paper.

Enjoy the listen!
