Today is the 100th episode of the KNN podcast! I wanted to do something special for this monumental occasion. Taking a page out of  @Lex Fridman's book, I brought my dad Art Jee in for an interview. This may sound like a weird choice since he is an oral surgeon and has very little to do directly with the data domain, but honestly, this conversation is one of the most meaningful ones I’ve had in my entire life. I was able to learn about my family history and take dedicated time to document the experiences that shaped who my dad is and his relationship with me. I don’t think I’ve ever had quite as much of an appreciation for his life, his work and his individual philosophy as I do now. For those tuning in, I hope this is a window into how our parents and loved ones view our work, our happiness, and decisions. I also hope that this inspires you to take the time to truly get to know the people in your life before the opportunity to do that dissipates.
