Hey, what's up, everybody?

Patlin here and welcome to episode 1,213 of Ask Pat 2.0.

You're about to listen to a coaching call between myself and an entrepreneur just like you.

And today we're speaking with Alexandra Mannerings. And she is working on something pretty big,

in fact. And we talk about a lot of things with relation to data, which is her business.

It's her love. She also has a podcast called Heart, Soul, and Data. And her superpower is using data to help organizations, raise more money, understand better decision making, all that kind of stuff. But unfortunately, she costs a lot. But she doesn't want to leave out those who might not be able to afford her. So we come up with some interesting ideas,

in fact, and she has some ideas of her own that we dive into, and I help shape it a little bit,

and we come out of this with some amazing energy, and I hope you enjoy this episode. This is

Alexandra Mannerings. You can find her on LinkedIn, too, and here we go. Alexandra, welcome to Ask Pat 2.0. Thanks for joining us on the show

today. Thank you so much for having me here today. I am thrilled beyond words to join you.

I'm thrilled to learn more about what you do and how I might be able to help you and everybody

else is wanting to know. Alexandra, what do you do? And tell us a little bit about yourself.

Thank you. So the reason I get to be here is that I am the sole proprietor of a company called Moracanos, which is a data services and analytic education company that is devoted completely to helping nonprofits and mission-driven organizations amplify their impacts through data. Now, when I'm not wrangling data, I'm also the mother of two toddlers, three and

five-year-olds. So my life is very full and very busy. That's a little bit my background.

Nice. So very data-driven. Were you always sort of a data-driven type of person growing up?

The funny thing, you always think that your life is normal, right? Like your family is normal. And so like you get to high school or college and you see this diversity. So my mom's a food microbiologist. My dad's a psychologist. My brother

went on to be like a rocket engineer. He works for Lockheed Martin. So I've always been surrounded

by science. But I also have this deep appreciation for literature and the human soul.
