We are thrilled to announce that tomorrow marks the 10th anniversary of our live YouTube show! A decade of knowledge-sharing, laughter, and exploring the ever-evolving world of Microsoft 365.What started as a simple SharePoint-focused show “SharePoint Power Hour” has blossomed into a dynamic platform that covers all things Microsoft 365, catering specifically to business users and power users who are eager to unlock the true potential of this powerful suite.

A Journey of Transformation

When we embarked on this journey a decade ago, we could have never imagined the incredible transformation our show would undergo. Together with my beloved co-host, Joelle Jobson, we’ve worked at multiple companies together, explored the depths of Microsoft 365, from SharePoint and OneDrive to Microsoft Teams, Power Apps, Power Automate, and everything in between. Our aim has always been to bridge the gap between technical complexities and practical applications, making the Microsoft 365 experience accessible to all.

From the very first “Power Hour” episode to the upcoming 10th-anniversary show, we have had the privilege of connecting with countless incredible individuals who represent businesses, and organizations all over the world that have embraced Microsoft 365 and the cloud. Our diverse community has been the driving force behind our evolution from a SharePoint-centric show to one encompassing the vast expanse of Microsoft 365 solutions. We are deeply grateful for your unwavering support, engaging discussions, and valuable feedback that have helped us shape the course of “Power Hour” over the years.
