Data Storytelling with AI

His work & clients include
// Sound Familiar?
Does this sound like you?
I know with analytics I can save my company time and money, but I don't know where to start.
I love dashboards and data visualizations but I feel overwhelmed when I get into them.
I dive into Excel and Power BI projects but I can never finish my projects on time.
I love to tinker but without direction I am my own worst enemy.
I know I'm good at what I do and I want to sell my services, but I don't know what services to market.
// The Problem
You built the chart. Nobody remembers it by Monday.
A dashboard shows a snapshot. It doesn't carry the story that made the numbers matter in the first place, that part usually just lives in your head, or gets lost the moment you stop narrating it out loud.
✕ What most people ship
A dashboard full of correct numbers and zero narrative. Stakeholders nod, then forget it by the next meeting.
✓ What Jordan teaches
The same data, structured as a story with a setting, a hidden problem, a turning point, and a clear recommendation, the version people actually act on.
01
Setting
Where things stood before the numbers moved.
02
The Hero
The trend or growth everyone's excited about.
03
Rising Tension
The hidden problem nobody's said out loud yet.
04
The Villain
The actual root cause, found, not guessed.
05
Resolution
A clear recommendation people can act on today.
// Inside The Free Course
30 minutes, one real dataset, no slides you've seen before.
This isn't a highlight reel. Jordan works through an actual public retail dataset with Claude, mistakes, tangents, dad jokes included.
Audit before you trust it
Why he has AI interrogate a dataset for quality issues first, missing values, formatting problems, anomalies, before drawing a single conclusion.
Charts are the easy part
Watch how fast AI builds the dashboard, and why that speed is exactly why it's not the finish line.
The judgment AI can't do
Jordan critiques the AI's own chart choices in real time, what to cut, what to emphasize, what a trained eye catches that a prompt won't.
// Who's Teaching This
“
This really isn't about me. It's about you, and the story sitting in your data that nobody's telling yet.
Jordan Goldmeier is on a mission to create 100 data solopreneurs. He's the author of Dashboards for Excel, Advanced Excel Essentials, Becoming a Data Head, and Data Smart (2nd Ed.), a 9-time recipient of the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Award, and an adjunct analytics instructor at Wake Forest University. His work and techniques have reached teams at H&M, Principal, EY, Booz Allen Hamilton, and the American military. He's pro-AI, not an AI-maximalist, his take: 'it's not about the prompt.' AI speeds up the work. The judgment that makes a data story land is still on you, and that's what he teaches.
// In Their Words
Real results, from real students.

// Before You Go
Questions people ask before signing up.
Anyone who works with data and has to explain it to other people, analysts, managers, founders, nonprofit teams. My students range from new hires all the way up to CFOs. If you open a spreadsheet or dashboard nearly every day, this is for you.
Completely free. You'll get the watch link by email. There's a paid deep-dive this feeds into, but there's zero obligation and no hard pitch on the watch page itself.
Claude. He walks through the real prompts and outputs on camera, including the parts where AI gets it wrong and needs a human to fix it.
No. It's Jordan working a real dataset start to finish, auditing it, finding the story, building the presentation. No canned slides. Watch on your own time, whenever works for you.
It's built for working analysts. If you use Excel, Power BI, or dashboards regularly, you're well suited for it, no prior storytelling or stats background required.
You can always reach Jordan by email, and he answers most questions with a quick Loom video. If you want more, that's exactly what the deeper paid path is for.
