Key takeaways:
1) Machine learning models aren't just for data scientists and can help anyone who wants to make better business decisions using data.
2) All models are wrong, but some are useful. Understanding which type of model to use for which type of problem is the most important skill
3) The FB Prophet Model is an easy way to solve time series forecasting problems without a data science team.
4) Classification and Regression Trees (CART) models are a great way to solve customer segmentation problems through predictive modeling
