About Me
Šimon Šiplák
Once upon a time, there was a data analyst who loved hunting for ‘aha moments’: the small discoveries in data that change how people think and open up new possibilities.
Every day, he turned numbers into stories that engage, surprise and help teams reach real business goals. But one question kept coming back to him: how do you measure your own life?
One day, he realised the answer was not in a spreadsheet. It was in experiences.
Because of that, he started saying yes to things a little off the usual path: curling stones on the ice, a baseball bat, drumsticks, a motorbike, TEDxBratislava, and a camera pointed at the guests of heroes.sk.
Because of that, he met people who taught him more than any dashboard ever could. One of them once told him: “In life, if you work hard and you are brave, take chances and fight for what you want, you always get where you want to be.” It scared him. It also became his religion.
Until finally, he understood that the best stories are not only found in data. They are lived, and shared with the people you meet on the road.
Off the usual path
Biggest lessons from my experiences
For a reason I still can't explain, I have always been drawn to things that are a little unusual. I have slid curling stones across the ice, stepped up to the plate in baseball, sat behind a drum kit and ridden a motorbike. Each of them taught me something, and I would not trade a single one.
But when I look back, the biggest lessons never came from the sport, the stage or the job itself. They came from the people I met on the road.
Hover over a tile, or tap it, to see what it taught me.
