I highly recommend Josiah as an engaging corporate data science trainer... my only wish at the end of the course was for it to last longer.

The knowledge I gained was not for an isolated event. It permeates every environment in which data is involved no matter what software is being used.

...the tools it gave me to go out and continue teaching myself have provided just as much benefit for me.

Josiah is an EXCELENT teacher! ... He is like a coach who will train you to get better in a way that might be impossible or very inefficient on your own.

Josiah's understanding of not only analytical tools such as Python, but their applications to tangible business problems is very evident.
