In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jeremie Harris. Jeremie is the co-founder of SharpestMinds, a data science, machine learning and analytics mentorship program that's free until you get a job. SharpestMinds is a Y Combinator backed startup,  the world’s largest mentorship marketplace for data science, with mentors from companies like Google, Tesla, Airbnb and Shopify. He's also the host of the official Towards Data Science podcast, where he talks to world-class data scientists and machine learning researchers about everything from data careers to the future of humanity. I was actually on his podcast a few weeks ago, so definitely go check that out after this (linked below)

Jeremie has an incredibly unique perspective on the data science job market from his work at Sharpest Minds. In this interview we discuss some of the metrics associated with the data science interview process, some of the parallels between entrepreneurship and data science, and a deep dive into his incredible journey.
