    A must-listen for the new world of work
    The pandemic changed the way we work forever, and now AI has entered the conversation as another new way to work. This podcast guides you through hybrid and remote work, and the amazing guests that are on each episode have taught me that AI isn’t something to be afraid of but rather something that can make us all more productive and happier at our jobs. Love the insights!

    Interesting insights
    Somewhat surprisingly, Microsoft continues to make some of the more interesting and insightful podcasts out there. Their data backed findings are second to none. Two episodes in and I’m hooked.
  • TXRiderXTRM
    Facts not Guessing
    I just listened to episode one of the podcast and I really appreciate the research and data driven approach to the discussion. I also like that Jared admits that there’s a lot we just don’t know and that continues to evolve. Great first episode!
