When Tim Wise was young his father, an attorney, gave him some invaluable career advice. He described pursuing a professional career as a baseball game — those that stepped up to the plate to swing were the ones starting businesses.

Tim has built a career on that advice of stepping up to the plate and taking a risk—albeit with some great data and life lesson-learning—and these days he’s helping other tech and IT leaders step up to the plate with their company and use all data and information at their disposal to make great business decisions. Relying on that baseball metaphor again, effectively, improving their at-bat percentage.

In this episode, Tim talks with Net Effects Podcast co-hosts, Les Ottolenghi and Mark Bavisotto, about digital, social, and personal transformation.
