It’s 2025. You’ve automated workflows, styled dashboards in Plotly, and whispered to Python like a pro. So why are you still exporting everything to Excel?
Because Excel is not a tool. It’s a belief system. 🧠

In this Data Science Therapy video, we unpack the psychological warfare of data teams vs. Excel-obsessed execs, and offer real coping strategies for anyone who’s ever had their dashboard exported to death.

🔧 Tips you'll get:
How to automate behind the scenes and fake it with Excel
How to win over stubborn stakeholders (yes, even Cheryl)
How to survive Excel trauma with your dignity (mostly) intact
