🎙️ In this episode, I sit down with Ernesto Canales, co-founder of Latinometrics, for a thoughtful conversation about data storytelling, curiosity, and the power of making complex ideas accessible.

Ernesto shares his journey from Torreón, Mexico, to studying in the U.S., discovering economics and analysis, and eventually co-building a publication that helps readers make sense of Latin America through clear, visual, data-driven stories.

We unpack how Latinometrics grew from an idea into a widely trusted platform for founders, operators, investors, and policymakers — and why its success comes from more than just charts. At its core, this conversation is about turning information into insight, and insight into something people can actually use.

We explore:
📊 How Ernesto and his team turn dense data into simple, compelling stories
🧠 Why curiosity, not complexity, is the key to building a better relationship with data
🌎 What Latin America’s growth reveals about technical talent, soft skills, and opportunity
🤝 How Latinometrics is building community by making data more human, interactive, and engaging

If you’ve ever felt intimidated by data, this episode is a reminder: the goal isn’t to know everything — it’s to ask better questions.
