In this episode, we are joined by the creator of the popular PowerShell module ImportExcel, Doug Finke. Doug shares the story of how he got into PowerShell, the Monad Manifesto, and the PowerShell AI module. He also dives into the details of how ImportExcel works and provides plenty of tips on how to make the most of it. Tune in to learn more about the power of PowerShell, ImportExcel, and PowerShellAI! 

Guest Bio and links: Doug has been a Microsoft MVP since 2009 and has been working with PowerShell since it was called Monad. He wrote a book, 'PowerShell for Developers,' and loves to play with new technology. Doug's first experience in the computer industry was with the Mainframe, after punch cards. He got his first exposure to scripting and its power with TSO/CLIST, and watched the progression to Unix sed/awk/grep, Tcl/Tk, Excel VBA, bat files, vbscript and many more. When Doug first saw Monad, he was impressed and knew it would be around for a few decades, so he decided to dive in.
