It's a new beginning for Cloud Conversations as we introduce Kat Greenan to the team as our new permanent co-host. Kat joined Ru and Pete as a guest back in Episode 7, and we could not be more delighted to welcome her to the show. In this episode we spend some time catching up, discussing what has caught our eye in the world of M365 and Azure in recent weeks, and also chatted about music and our favourite James Bond's.
We're joined in this show by Anna Chu, who previously led and launched the Microsoft Tech Community and recently started as a Community Program Manager for Power Automate and Virtual Agents. In a wide ranging interview, we talk about the Tech Community platform from concept to where it is now, Anna's move to the Power Automate engineering team, Terminator (obviously), how to advance your career and "get lucky", and a whole bunch more.

In this slobber knocker episode, we had the legendary Jimmy Vaughan with us. Jimmy is a former MVP who's now with Microsoft, focusing on Teams. He has a prolific career with some very interesting companies, including Crestron, and most exciting to us - the then WWF, now WWE. We caught up with Jimmy on how he entered WWE at a total boom period known as the Attitude Era, his time there working for early days WWF.com, being a producer, the McMahon family, the creation of the "scratch" logo, and generally geeking out about wrestling. This is an IT show, after all, so we do also cover how Jimmy made that leap from TV producer to Teams/AV expert and guru, covering stuff like Teams Rooms.

Patrick van Bemmelen, Microsoft 365 security consultant and blogger joins the show to discuss managing secure Microsoft 365 environments and where to start; jumping from E3 to E5 - when and why; his career and how he started to focus on EMS; and being a life long learner! Pete and Ru also discuss the latest news on Teams security and compliance, and some great articles from Practical365.com on strange Microsoft 365 alert notifications and Exchange migrations.
Pete and Ru discuss another Azure AD outage (it’s always DNS…) and the end of support for classic Azure Information Protection labels. We then discuss getting ahead in IT, learning how to learn, overcoming perfectionism, and the advantages of specialization.
In this first episode of Cloud Conversations, Ru and Pete chat about the latest Azure AD outage and new Microsoft security exams, then dive into Pete's journey as a parent to a disabled child and how that lead to his own mental health journey. We discover how that made him a stronger person, and how his career progressed from a jack-of-all-trades IT manager to a Microsoft 365 specialist, book author, trainer, and Microsoft MVP.
