Our guest brings sisu, that legendary “dig your way out with a spoon just to prove a point” stubbornness, into the world of data and AI.Expect sharp takes: “I don’t work with dashboards, I work with products,” and a masterclass in why data needs purpose, not just pipelines. Along the way, we detour into melancholic Finnish music (where everything burns down but somehow teaches you a life lesson) and how that mindset oddly fits building global data standards.It’s equal parts tech, philosophy, and dark humor with a sprinkle of Linux Foundation credibility. If you’ve ever wondered what connects heavy metal heartbreak, AI, and the future of data products, this one surprisingly nails it.Guest: Jarkko Moilanen (Ph.D.)Abu Dhabi, United Arab EmiratesTime stamps[ 01:10 ] - Introducing Dr. Jarkko Moilanen and sharing his background of ODPS within the Linux Foundation [ 06:33 ] - Talking about openness in Data Products and what it means for Jarkko? [ 11:34 ] - how to integrate global feedback into an open standard [ 15:50 ] - The cultural journey from Finland to Arabics [ 19:25 ] - using AI to support Data Product acceleration [ 24:44 ] - continuing the (musical) journey from Abu Dhabi to Hanoi with Vinahouse [ 29:11 ] - Jarkkos entry in the AI & Data Hyttebok ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/EsBmU25dDpcYLwl5nyR0b4tKl0HNWRg5KFUza9wCIZ8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jMDA0/NWEyMzFjZTBjN2Zk/OGUyOTRiNDE0MmI3/YjBlYi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
