Raw Data with Rob Collie

Environmental Engineering Meets the Data Gene, w/ MS MVP Alice Drummond


Listen Later

On today's episode, Alice Drummond, co-founder of DiscoverEI gives the inside scoop on transitioning from environmental engineering to Microsoft Power Platform MVP. She shares her story of building a consultancy firm from the ground(water) up while increasing her own skill set. She and Rob wax poetic on the struggles of taking the plunge into the small business owners' realm and neither sugarcoats the challenges faced.

During the course of the conversation, a common thread emerges on the people who advocate for the firm and seek to move to the Power Platform. Early adopters want revolution while the early majority want evolution. The bottom line, most companies are just getting started.

This episode isn't just about starting a business, though, we get to hear the real, human side of the story. Alice highlights the best parts of the learning process: teaching, sharing knowledge and empowering others.
