Most people assume AI quietly solved the data quality problem for good. Andy Frawley, CEO of Data Axle, tells Jay Schwedelson the opposite is true: clean data matters more now, because a weak foundation just lets AI make bad calls faster. From there they get into why your B2B email list flops on Instagram, why direct mail is quietly thriving, and why Andy doubled his events budget after swearing them off.
