The Power of Empathy & Why Drudge Work is Dying, with Microsoft’s Scott Sewell

Join us for a down-to-earth chat with Microsoft’s Scott Sewell, a guy who’s seen it all when it comes to the crossroads of tech, business, and just being human. Scott’s got a front-row seat to how empathy—yeah, that often-overlooked human quality—is actually a game-changer in today’s tech-driven world. We talk about why understanding what makes people tick isn’t just good for the soul, it’s critical for delivering solutions that really hit the mark.

But let’s get real: no one loves the drudge work, and Scott’s here to tell us why those days are numbered. We dig into how AI, especially within the Microsoft Fabric and Dynamics world, is cutting out the busy work that bogs us down. Imagine freeing up your time to focus on the stuff that truly matters—Scott shows us how it’s not just possible, it’s happening right now.

Scott’s got some great stories up his sleeve, too, about how embracing AI isn’t just a cool thing to do—it’s essential if you want to keep up. Whether it’s getting rid of those tedious manual tasks or unlocking insights that were once out of reach, Scott makes it clear: the clock’s ticking on drudge work, and the future is all about working smarter, not harder.

So, if you’re ready to hear how empathy and AI can transform your business (and your day-to-day), tune in. Scott’s insights will have you rethinking what’s possible—and why the mundane should be left in the dust.
