Tequila, Tech, and Turbulent Travels: AI Innovation in the Cloud Ecosystem

FULL SHOW NOTES
https://www.microsoftinnovationpodcast.com/585  

Ever wondered how tequila and tech conferences mix? We kick things off with some post-tequila laughs and the amusing reality check of my daughter preferring Miss Rachel over our podcast. Get ready for a vivid comparison of the Dynamics Minds conference to both Burning Man and Davos, as we share personal stories and the electric atmosphere that only a gathering of brilliant minds can create. Trust us, you'll want to hear about the highs and lows, especially if you're debating whether to take leave for such an event in the future.

Ever endured a 24-hour Ryanair flight? We have, and we lived to tell the tale. Alongside sharing our travel woes, we dive into a powerful recommendation for the Apple TV Plus show "Masters of the Air," a must-watch for history buffs. But tech enthusiasts, rejoice! We break down the Dynamics Minds panel highlights, shedding light on the role of co-pilots in the cloud ecosystem. You'll learn that these co-pilots aren't just a singular entity but an integrated suite of over 101 features across Microsoft products.

Tune in as we explore AI's transformative power within cloud ecosystems, comparing Microsoft's Copilot to essential utilities like electricity. Our conversation extends to the nuances of building flexible, client-centric digital ecosystems, stressing the importance of diverse technology choices. The episode wraps up with insights into creating a robust ecosystem architecture training course, born from a successful workshop. We reflect on the positive feedback and the challenge of fostering diversity, while pointing eager learners toward resources at Cloud Lighthouse. Join us for a rich, informative journey that marries humor, personal anecdotes, and cutting-edge tech insights!

This year we're adding a new show to our line up - The AI Advantage. We'll discuss the skills you need to thrive in an AI-enabled world.
