If you have been active in Microsoft web collaboration technologies, then you have probably heard of Joel Oleson. Joel has been around since the early days of what became SharePoint and has had a tremendous impact on the customer and partner communities for SharePoint and then later Office 365 and Microsoft 365 today. In fact, his latest endeavor is a global spanning, virtual initiative, that promises to set the standard around online events for years to come. Along the way Joel has embarked on some epic adventures with other leaders in the Microsoft Collab community space and he has left his mark across the globe.

In this Social Sessions, Joel and I discuss his path to the present professionally at Perficient, his globetrotting adventures with the SharePoint/Office 365 community, and his latest endeavor with the Microsoft 365 Virtual Marathon.
