#122 - Nelson Spencer - Building AI Agents & The Original Moneyball

Directionally Correct, The #1 People Analytics Substack

Nelson Spencer, the Founder & CEO of efora.io and previous people analytics leader at Sonos and Figma, joins the Directionally Correct podcast to discuss how he’s building AI agents to tackle different business problems with his new venture. In this episode, we discuss Nelson’s history as starting as an analytics guy in baseball for the major leagues (i.e., Moneyball), how to future proof your skills for the AI revolution, the idea of “skill stacking” and what it means for staying up to date, why Nelson is an I/O psychology hater (we kid, we kid) and what his first SIOP was like, and more shenanigans in this episode.
