But fear not, he's not vanishing into thin air; he'll still be around to gate-crash future episodes now and again. We had the pleasure of speaking to Dara to about his journey into analytics, and some of the changes he's seen in the industry over his career. We also spoke about the process of setting up Measurelab over 10 years ago, and his advice for anyone wanting to follow in his footsteps.

    Quotes of the Episode:
    "...I think a lot of it comes down to timing and the requirement that you're trying to fill or the need that you're trying to plug in the market." - Dara
    "...I think that's such an important factor to anyone within any analytics or data field is the ability to zoom out and understand what the hell you're doing and why and who you're doing it." - Dan
