Alexander sat down with fellow Data Platform MVP Valerie Junk to talk about how to get stakeholders to listen. We ended up discussing kitchens and why it might not be a good idea to see the business as the enemy.

We're getting the band back together again! Introducing the format 'Knee-Deep in Tech Topics', where we will be discussing single topics per video episode going forward. We had a great opportunity to kick things off at the DevRel Studios at the Microsoft Campus in Redmond, and here we are!

In the words of Simon - it's been a journey. We started 8.5 years ago and fully expected to have the podcast for two weeks.

In this episode the trio talk about the reasons for ending the podcast and what is in store for the future.
