About
John Rodriguez
I am a data and business strategist who enjoys writing on technology, innovation, and strategy.
I started my career in the Big 4 for 3.5 years before making the switch into the intersection of sports & analytics. I traveled to the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference in college — an experience that opened my eyes to what was possible — though I didn't fully pursue that path until after my first role.
Throughout my career I've gravitated toward studying the great companies and leaders of the world. I value the pursuit of lifelong learning through books, thought leaders, and experience. I started aggressively consuming podcasts early in the industry's growth — starting with Tim Ferriss and Bill Simmons, then expanding into technology, investing, data, and business.
The way I channel those thoughts into action is through my latest project: Leaders, a podcast where I explore the world's best leaders — past and present. I'm committed to making this a lifelong mission.
