EVERYDATA™: Understanding the Misinformation in the Little Data You Consume Every D
EVERYDATA: Understanding the Data You Consume Every Day At Work

"John Johnson is a successful speaker because he knows his stuff cold, works to understands his audience, and gets to the point in a clear and compelling way. He is one of those rare translators who can make economics matter for the rest of us by making it coherent and interesting. And he's relaxed and he likes people, both of which matter a lot in engaging with an audience."

"John has a true gift for being able to simplify complicated things - like data - and explain why it matters in each of our lives. When he speaks to a group about how to be smarter users of data, that group leaves the room as smarter users of data. And he makes it hugely enjoyable. Any group where elegant, intelligent solutions for using data are needed will benefit from what John has to say."

"Processing the barrage of information we receive every day is a challenge. One that isn't going away. As a fellow educator, I am inspired by John's ability to completely engage his audience and, through great stories, equip them to be smarter consumers of the data around them."
