If you didn't hear, I have a crazy goal this year: help someone land a data job every single week. 52 new analysts, 52 life changes, and a lot of data dreams coming true. Welcome to Mission 52! 🙌🥳💪

📈 What is Mission 52? 

I've been helping people land data jobs for a couple years now...so this isn't my first rodeo. But let's be honest, the job market is a bit crazy right now. It almost feels impossible to land a job. But it is possible...you just have to take the right steps. I wanted to show all 17,000 of you on this newsletter that it IS possible. So, I decided to do this mission publicly.

Am I nervous? Yup. I could honestly fail. And all of you will know it. And that would be embarrassing, wouldn't it? But I'm confident in my methods and I'm confident in you. The SPN Method works. It's just a matter of following it. 

So let's freaking do it. 

For every one that I help land a job this year, I'll also be personally funding a celebratory billboard at Times Square to highlight your journey. Here's an example of when I did this previously to highlight my student, Erin Shina, landing her first data job. 

So if you want to bankrupt me financially, all of you should land a data job and make me buy you a billboard in The Big Apple 🤣

👇 Here's How I Plan to Help You

There are a couple ways I will be working every day to try to help you land a data job this year....

1. Share 1000+ Job Opportunities 👔

I run a data job board, FindADataJob.com, where I post 30-50 data jobs daily. These are jobs that might not get posted on Indeed or LinkedIn so there might be less competition. Best part? It's free! Well, for you anyway. It costs me money. But free for you...so please, bookmark it, and use it. I'm paying for it so you might as well put it to good use. 

I also have sports analytics job board called SportsAnalyticsJobs.com (original name, I know). And one more called Premium Data Jobs that has "Hidden Job Market" postings. You can read about that one here.

2. 52 New Action-Packed Episodes 🎧

Every Tuesday, I drop new podcast / YouTube episodes filled with actionable insights to boost your data career. 

Sometimes, it's a solo show (like this week's). Other times, I interview a data expert like Zach Wilson, or Alex the Analyst. 

Either way, I try to design the episodes to help you land a data job. So make sure you're subscribed on YouTube or on your favorite podcast player.

In upcoming episodes, I try DeepSeek out for data analytics, interview Daliania Lui, and learn from Sundas Khalid. 

3. Free Educational Content Daily 📱

Follow me on LinkedIn, Instagram, or even TikTok (if it survives) for daily doses of data wisdom. I'm all about sharing tips that you can use right away, no fluff, just the good stuff.

I've been posting to my IG story every day, giving some behind-the-scenes of what's going on and how I run my business. We've also been posting podcast highlights there as well. 

It's fun, and useful, and heck, if you're going to doomscroll, at least doomscroll stuff that's good for your career!!! 

4. The Data Career Newsletter 📧

Every Wednesday, I send an email to 17,000 other aspiring data analysts. I try to provide useful tips, job listings, memes, giveaways, etc. It's quick, it's free, and it might just save you hours on your data journey.

If you're reading this, you might already be subscribed, but if not, subscribe here! I promise it's worth the inbox space.

5. The Accelerator Program 🏫

For those who want a little more hands-on guidance, my Data Analytics Accelerator is a 12-week bootcamp that teaches you everything from Excel to Python, with real-world projects and 24/7 community support. We'll optimize your LinkedIn, update your resume, and even help you job hunt. 

I'm going to be honest, I think most of the 52 will be DAA students. It just allows me to give them all my resources and attention. Of course, all the other ways are free and will certainly lead to some jobs, I see this one being the biggest boost. 

No matter your background, we'll work with you to follow the SPN Method to land a data job. We've helped hundreds land their first data job, and you could be next! We helped Thomas land a job. We helped Rachael land a job. We helped Tim land a job. Why not you next?

🤗 Join Mission 52!

I'm going to be honest, I have no chance of completing Mission 52 on my own. I'm going to need some help, probably from you. Are you game? If you are, here are some easy, free ways you can help me:

1. Tell me if I help you land a data job this year (just shoot me an email: [email protected]) and I promise a billboard in exchange.

2. Send my newsletter, podcast, or YouTube over to a friend. Hopefully it'll help them learn something new. 

3. Post about this mission on LinkedIn or Instagram! Tag me and I'll amplify your message.

Let's friggin' do this! 

Thanks for your attention, your help, and may the odds be ever in your favor! 

Together, we got this.
