In 2013, I sat on a crowded bus next to a guy with the same (bald) haircut as me. Luckily, we struck up a conversation because that talk was the catalyst for a drastic, ever-developing U-turn across my entire life, both personally and professionally.

Via analogy to specific data science and software development examples, in today’s FiveMinuteFriday on the SuperDataScience Podcast I describe how “atomic habits” have the capacity to dramatically transform your career and your very identity.
