In this episode, we break down the myth that “SharePoint lists are a database for Power Apps” and show why that belief quietly kills performance, scalability, and data integrity.

Stop Using Fragile Data: Fabric Snapshots Deliver The ONLY Version of Truth

Think your data is stable? Think again. Your warehouse is basically a construction zone—ETL is rewriting tables, pipelines are mid-write, replicas are copying chaos, and your dashboards refresh right through the mess. No wonder finance reruns a report and gets different answers. This episode br…

The Rebirth of Canvas Apps Is a Lie: Here's What Microsoft Is Really Building

This episode rips the mask off Microsoft’s new “canvas app revival” story and shows what’s actually happening under the hood. It’s not a renaissance. It’s a fork. A split.

Stop Training Your Users Wrong: Deploy the Copilot Learning Center

This episode rips apart the illusion that “Copilot training” is a workshop, a slide deck, or a single rollout campaign. It starts with a familiar pain: you trained users on Microsoft Copilot, pinned decks, hosted Q&As, ran office hours—and your help desk ticket queue still grew. Users got smarter f…
Stop Sabotaging Your Power Automate Email Flows
Nov. 23, 2025

Stop Sabotaging Your Power Automate Email Flows

Your Power Automate email flows aren’t clever automations, they’re HR risk wrapped in HTML. You wire a flow to a “service account,” fight through MFA once, get it working, and decide it’s done. It’s not done. It’s brittle, over-privileged, impossible to audit cleanly, and the first time conditional…

SharePoint Sprawl Is Killing Your Business

Your SharePoint isn’t messy – it’s a digital landfill you’re paying to host. Dead projects, duplicate “final_v7_REAL_final” files, ghost guest access, broken links, and a Copilot happily hallucinating on rotten content. This video shows you how to turn that chaos into a governed, measurable, adult-…

Copilot Is Broken Until You Do THIS

Out-of-the-box Microsoft Copilot sounds like a genius—but in real enterprises it’s a dangerously confident intern. In this episode, we expose where default Copilot quietly fails on the questions that actually matter: “Can I share this file?”, “Who’s on-call right now?”, “Is this HIPAA-safe?” You’ll…
Why Your Copilot Rollout Will Fail
Nov. 21, 2025

Why Your Copilot Rollout Will Fail

Your Copilot rollout is probably going to flop—and it won’t be the AI’s fault. Most organizations treat Microsoft 365 Copilot like a feature toggle: light up licenses, send a heroic memo, run one training… and three months later MAU is a rounding error. In this episode, we expose the five hidden…

Stop SharePoint Hoarding: The Blob Storage Fix

SharePoint looks confident on the surface, but under the hood it’s drowning in duplicates, forgotten drafts, and every “final final V2” that ever existed.

The Microsoft 365 Agent SDK Is Not Optional

Your M365 AI agent isn’t failing because the model is bad—it’s failing because your plumbing is. This episode exposes why DIY agents that “work in dev” die the second real users and security show up.

The 3 Ways Microsoft Hides Pixel-Perfect Reports

Your Power BI dashboards aren’t broken – you’re just using them for the wrong job. This episode shows why “Export to PDF” is a lying screenshot, and how paginated reports (in the Service, Report Builder, or Visual Studio) finally give executives the print-perfect, audit-ready PDFs they keep asking …

Stop Using DAX UDFs Wrong! The Hidden Gotchas

You thought VAL vs EXPR was harmless syntax sugar. In reality, it decides when your metrics are evaluated, which means the same function, same arguments can return a completely different “truth” — clean visuals, perfect totals, and numbers that are confidently wrong.

Think spreadsheets are chaos? Cute. In this episode we stress-test Microsoft Fabric against the worst data you own: photorealistic 3D assets and full-fidelity digital twins.

Stop Building Dumb Copilots: Why Agentic RAG Is Your Only Fix

Your Copilot isn’t smart – it’s a very expensive autocomplete. In this episode, we break down why classic RAG (retrieve-augment-generate) quietly fails the moment your truth lives in more than one system, and how “agentic RAG” on Azure turns Copilot from a context tourist into an actual reasoning e…

Stop Typing to Copilot: Use Your Voice NOW!

Typing to Copilot is the new fax machine—and your thumbs are the bottleneck. In this episode we break down how to give Copilot an actual voice, a memory, and a legal department, so it can keep up with the way you think, not the way you type. You’ll hear how GPT-4o Realtime turns Copilot from a s…
