Show Notes Chapter Markers

In this episode, we’re joined by Elisa Choy: economist, advisor, global speaker and founder of Australia's first AI-powered market research agency called Maven Data.

She’s been able to scarily and accurately predict the most recent federal election, the rise of Greta Thunberg, COVID vaccine hesitancy, the 2020 US election, and has even predicted the winners of the Voice for the last 3 years as well as Masterchef Australia 2020 just for fun.

Elisa opens up about her experiences dealing with an autoimmune disease, reconnecting with her mum after a family estrangement and also shares a few amusing clubbing stories from when she was younger.
