On the last episode of the podcast I explored the 10 things I would introduce or change if I suddenly became the Program Manager for Dynamics 365 and CDS security at Microsoft.

A new year represents new beginnings for a lot of people and that got me thinking on what I would do if I was beginning my tenure as the newly appointed PM of Dynamics 365 and CDS security at Microsoft?

Well, I had a few things in mind, and I wanted to share them with you and Microsoft.

These are the first 10 things I would do if I was a PM of Security at Microsoft.

For the last episode of 2019 I decided to compile a list of 12 New Year's Resolutions for 2020.

This list will include things that are challenging for some, and some that might be too easy, but every listener should be able to select at least 1 option from this list and make it a goal for the year.

Get ready to take some notes and decide whether you will pick 1 or more options from this list as your New Year's Resolution(s) or will you take on the Ultimate CRM MVP Challenge and complete all 12 resolutions within the next 12 months!

Since every item in our list to Santa these holidays are all improvements to Microsoft Dynamics 365 we figured it would make more sense to just ask Microsoft Directly.

So I invited fellow CRM MVPs Chris, Gustaf, and Nick to jump on a mic and share their list LIVE so you can hear our reactions and recommendations to each other and to Microsoft.

Microsoft MVPs Antti and Kyle share their best practices and expertise regarding Microsoft Azure capabilities and features that every Solution Architect and Functional Consultant should know.

Microsoft announced some new limitations being placed on API calls and Portal visits/logins, so I invited two CRM MVPs to discuss these changes and whether organizations are on a collision course with skyrocketing licensing costs or whether they should celebrate these changes.

There are currently ONLY 90 CRM MVPs in the World, so the chances of you directly interacting with one or more of us is very small.

This lack of access to Microsoft MVPs creates a sense of mystery or perhaps misunderstanding about what MVPs are, or even more importantly what they are not.

This episode is all about the common misconceptions people have about MVPs.

Some of the biggest hits include: "Do MVPs work for Microsoft?", "Do MVPs get free stuff?", "Do MVPs get to decide who becomes an MVP?", "Do all MVPs get paid to attend conferences?", "Can MVPs criticize Microsoft?" and many more.

Tune in to this special and non-technical episode of the show.
