I stumbled upon The Salesforce Admins Podcast and I am so glad I did! As a new "Accidental Admin," navigating the world of Salesforce can be overwhelming. But this podcast has been invaluable in helping me stay on top of important things to look out for and the newest features to explore. It's not just informative, but also entertaining, with episodes that make me laugh and sometimes even shed happy tears while listening on my daily walks.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is its ability to make complex Salesforce topics accessible and relatable. The hosts, Mike and Gillian, are engaging and easy to listen to, making it easier to absorb the information being shared. They bring in knowledgeable guests every episode who provide valuable insights, tips, and best practices for admins at all skill levels. Listening to their stories and journeys in the Salesforce ecosystem has been inspiring and motivating.
Another great aspect is the sense of community fostered by this podcast. As a technology undergraduate with a passion for business, I have finally found a place where my enthusiasm for technology and my passion for business can intersect. The Salesforce platform has an amazing community that genuinely cares about others' success, and this podcast is a testament to that. It pushes me to learn more, build new things, and support others who are on similar paths.
While there aren't many negative aspects to this podcast, one possible drawback is its duration. Some listeners may wish for longer episodes to dive deeper into topics or hear more from guests. Additionally, one reviewer mentioned difficulty finding older episodes beyond the 10 displayed on the platform they were using. This could be improved by providing easy access to previous episodes or creating an archive on the show's website.
In conclusion, The Salesforce Admins Podcast is an invaluable resource for anyone in the Salesforce ecosystem. Whether you're a new admin trying to navigate the platform or an experienced professional looking for fresh insights and inspiration, this podcast has something for everyone. The hosts and guests bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to each episode, making it a must-listen for anyone in the Salesforce community. Kudos to Mike and Gillian for producing such engaging and informative content!
