In this episode, we explore what long-term vehicle maintenance really looks like and why today's shops must rethink how they communicate with customers.

In this episode, you'll discover how to: Shift your shop culture from reactive repairs to proactive planningPosition service advisors as educators and advocatesUse cost-per-mile analysis to demonstrate real vehicle valueBuild trust through professional language and clear expectationsAlign inspections with long-term ownership goalsImprove maintenance acceptance without fear-based sellingCreate systems that support consistent follow-up Key Discussion Topics Why 250,000-mile vehicles are built through strategy, not chanceThe difference between transactional service and advisory leadershipUsing documentation and trends to guide decisionsStructuring pay plans to reinforce professionalismTurning maintenance into a long-term relationship Why This Episode Matters When customers understand that their vehicle can realistically reach 250,000 miles with the right care, everything changes. Trust improves. Approvals become easier. Loyalty deepens. And your shop evolves from a repair facility into a long-term partner in vehicle ownership. This episode shows how sophisticated professionalism, consistent processes, and education-first communication can transform both customer relationships and business performance.

On this episode of the Osborne Adventure Podcast, we talk about the silver linings of life on the dock in British Columbia. This season was never part of the plan, but it has given us something we didn't even realize we needed: time. Time to breathe, time to recover, time to actually enjoy the process again, and time to feel that excitement coming back instead of just grinding through another list. We talk honestly about how burnt out we were when we arrived, how much it impacted all of us, and why this slower stretch has helped our family come back to ourselves.You will hear about Val being stalked by a “raft” of sea lions on a paddleboard, the cursed dock stairs that have become a daily glute workout, and the unexpected gift of friends and family making the trip to visit us up here. We talk about Sunday dinners with Lou and Judy, the new friendships the kids have made, and the most meaningful silver lining of all: Ren having real friends who come invite him to do things, and watching him step into that in a way we've never seen before. It is an honest conversation about detours, perspective, and why maybe we're not behind at all, maybe we're right where we're supposed to be.CLICK HERE to leave a comment or ask a question.CLICK HERE to check out our t-shirts, hoodies and hats!CLICK HERE to check out the Safe Bed Model 100 by Safe Place Bedding and use discount code "sleepwell10" for a 10% discount on anything on the site.A Huge Thanks to our Partners!Battle Born BatteriesGoDuRonstanTylaska MarineWichard GroupYacht SolutionsFor more information visit our website:www.osborneadventure.comDonate Today (Osborne Adventure is a 501c3 nonprofit):https://www.osborneadventure.com/donationsFollow Us on Instagram:www.instagram.com/osborneadventure

Since her first appearance back in October 2024, Jessica's added multiple terms deals, navigated a unique mixed-use property, and even had her second baby, all while leaning heavily on our coaches and community to keep moving forward.     We talk about how she went from her first taken to stacking several more, the emotional reality of dealing with a challenging buyer who moved out, and why she now believes the only real failure is not trying. Jessica shares practical advice for moms in real estate, how she builds a schedule around naps and newborn chaos, what she took away from In The Trenches Bootcamp, and how she's using books, audiobooks, and our "26 in 26" challenge to rebuild her mindset.    If you're a working parent, a newer creative real estate investor, or someone who's tempted to quit when deals get messy, this conversation will show you what's possible when you stay in the game, rely on your coaches, and let the 3 Paydays® system work for you.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:14 18-month journey: from first taken to multiple 3 Paydays 02:52 New baby, no "pause" on deals 03:42 Real talk for moms in real estate 04:45 Navigating Mom brain vs. Builder brain 06:18 Leaning hard on coaches (and why that matters) 09:13 Book a discovery call with Smart Real Estate Coach team 11:20 Takeaways from joining the In the Trenches Bootcamp in 2023 12:26 Unique deal update & two properties on the market 14:05 Next 18–24 months: quit the job, grow a team, be home with the kids 15:02 Turning struggles into future mentorship 16:10 Advice to new investors: the only way to fail is not to start 19:01 Perspective & peace in the middle of the mess 20:06 Audiobooks, commute time & the "26 in 26" challenge   Quotables   "If I'm not making deals, I'm not going to be able to be where I want to be with you in the future."   "The only way I can be a failure is if I don't try."   "If you don't go through struggles, you're not going to get real-life experience.

Executive coach Tracy Meyer joins me for a conversation most leadership shows avoid: what happens when life doesn't politely wait for your business calendar.After losing her father shortly before our originally scheduled recording, Tracy and I talk openly about grief, disruption, and how leaders navigate loss without retreating into performance, denial, or toxic professionalism. This episode isn't about Instagram resilience or “powering through.” It's about what loss actually does to people—and how it reshapes priorities, identity, presence, and leadership capacity.We explore why disruption often exposes the false stability we cling to, how entrepreneurs confuse emotional suppression with maturity, and why being “authentic” doesn't mean being unfiltered—or dishonest. From end-of-life care to creative practice, from business pressure to personal presence, this is a raw conversation about perspective, responsibility, and what matters when the noise drops away.The takeaway isn't grief as productivity fuel.It's learning how to hold responsibility without abandoning humanity.TL;DR* Loss dismantles false stability—and reveals what was imaginary all along* Grief and leadership aren't opposites; avoidance is the real risk* Authenticity means integration, not emotional dumping or repression* Business can pause without collapsing—identity doesn't have to* Presence during transitions creates meaning that outlasts outcomes* Maturity lives between brutal honesty and emotional containment* Perspective, not optimization, is the real leadership upgradeMemorable Lines* “A lot of the stability we cling to was never real—it just lived in our heads.”* “There doesn't have to be an objective ROI for something to matter.”* “Being authentic doesn't mean being unregulated.”* “Loss doesn't end leadership—it clarifies it.”* “Perspective isn't found in performance; it's found in presence.”GuestTracy Meyer — Executive coach, keynote speaker, authorCredentialed through UC Berkeley and ICF, Tracy brings over 40 years of leadership experience across coaching, speaking, and organizational development. Her work focuses on authenticity, perspective, and navigating leadership through life transitions.

Recorded live at Cloud Connections in Delray Beach, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Jon Brinton, Chief Revenue Officer at Crexendo, about how artificial intelligence is reshaping voice communications—and why 2026 may mark a turning point for the industry. Brinton described what he sees as a “renaissance of voice.” After years in which enterprises attempted to push customer interactions toward chat, email, and other less personal channels, advances in AI are restoring the central role of voice conversations. Modern AI applications, he noted, are making voice interactions more natural, more efficient, and more valuable—reintroducing clarity and immediacy into customer communications strategies. That vision is reflected in Crexendo's recent product launch: CAIRO, an AI-powered receptionist and operator introduced earlier this year. Integrated directly into the NetSapiens platform, CAIRO is designed to give organizations of all sizes access to a highly capable, natural-language AI voice interface. Unlike generic AI assistants trained on external datasets, CAIRO is driven by each organization's own data, enabling fully customized interactions for businesses ranging from medical practices and school districts to local retailers. Brinton explained that CAIRO supports real-time, conversational voice interactions in multiple languages, including English and Spanish, with the flexibility to switch languages during a call. The AI can answer questions, route callers to departments, and assist with tasks such as scheduling—while always allowing seamless escalation to a human when needed. This blend of automation and human handoff reinforces voice as a core channel rather than a legacy one. From a channel perspective, Brinton emphasized that CAIRO represents a significant opportunity for Crexendo's partners. The solution is available both within Crexendo's VIP offering and to its global NetSapiens licensee community, which includes approximately 240 service providers serving more than seven million users worldwide. Partners can brand and bundle CAIRO as part of their own UCaaS offerings, creating new value-added revenue streams while enhancing customer experience. CAIRO is commercially available today and includes advanced features such as transcription and sentiment analysis, giving organizations deeper insight into customer interactions even after calls are completed. More information about Crexendo and its AI-powered communications solutions is available at https://www.crexendo.com/.

Are MMM listeners desirous to hear from the builder of a multi-billion-dollar investment complex, or from a guy who effuses about Dr. Dre's iconic debut album?  If so, our conversation with Jack Glover checks both boxes….and then some.    Jack is Founder and Managing Partner of Incline Equity Partners, a PE firm with over $6.5 billion in committed capital.   Today, Incline is investing out of three vehicles maintaining the firm's historic focus on differentiated distribution and service firms of varying size.  Discussion begins with Jack's Western Pennsylvania roots  – Pittsburgh childhood, college at Duquesne, first job at Westinghouse Credit.  The theme of Midwestern values returns as a core aspect of Incline's evolution and culture.  Jack's enthusiasm for Dr. Dre's seminal first album “The Chronic” is one highlight of many diversions into music, gambling and other esoteric subjects.

President Trump is hitting the road today, traveling to Iowa to kick off campaign events for this year's Midterm Elections in hopes that Republicans can keep control of both the House and the Senate. Recently, Republicans' messaging has centered around restoring "common sense and sanity" in government and putting more money back in the pockets of working families. Iowa Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson is running for Senator Joni Ernst's seat. She joins the Rundown to discuss her plans to address Americans' concerns and the importance of agriculture.As House Republicans prepare a series of high-stakes hearings into widespread fraud in Minnesota, taxpayers and lawmakers are asking a critical question: how deep does the rabbit hole go? Federal prosecutions have already exposed a $250 million scheme involving the Feeding Our Future nonprofit, and a new wave of allegations surrounding the state's Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) has brought Minnesota to the center of a national firestorm. Scott Dexter, a retired fraud investigator from the Minnesota Department of Human Services Inspector General's office, joins the Rundown to explain how the system failed, and whether Minnesota is just the beginning.

Today I sit down with two of my best friends, Moses Kagan and Rhett Bennett to reflect on how ReSeed has evolved since their first appearance (ep. 278) on the show three years ago.   ReSeed is on a mission to back the next generation of elite real estate operators. We unpacked what has actually happened since launch, how their original vision has held up in practice, and what they have learned by deploying real capital across multiple markets and operators.  We also dug into how they think about underwriting, operator selection, asset management intensity, and navigating a shifting multifamily landscape. It was a candid look at what it really takes to build a disciplined, long term real estate platform in today's market.

If you've ever been in a romantic relationship where one of you keeps reaching for closeness while the other pulls away just when things feel important, this episode is for you. If part of you feels like you're always chasing connection, or part of you feels like too much closeness makes you want to escape, you're not broken. You're likely in an anxious-avoidant dynamic. Anxious and avoidant partners don't randomly fall in love. This pairing is common for very specific psychological and nervous system reasons. Today I want to help you understand that pattern so you can stop personalizing what's happening and start seeing it clearly. This is Part One of a three-part series. Today is about naming the dynamic. The next two episodes will focus on how to love an anxious partner and how to love an avoidant partner without losing yourself.____________________________Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/anxious-avoidant-relationships Download Where Are You in the Anxious-Avoidant Cycle Right Now?

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Chris Lawson of TechnicianFind tackles a critical disconnect in the automotive repair industry: shop owners say they want a General Manager to run their business, but are only willing to hire a “babysitter.” The conversation explores what it truly takes to build real management—centered on financial transparency, clearly defined roles, and intentional recruitment. The Transparency Trap At the heart of the issue is a tension between a shop owner's desire to step away from daily operations and their fear of sharing financial information. Many owners want a manager who will “own the results,” yet refuse to share the “scoreboard” — gross profit, payroll, and compensation data — out of fear the employee will leave to open a competing shop. Lawson challenges this assumption. In reality, when employees see the true costs, risks, and pressures of ownership, many realize they prefer the stability of employment rather than pursuing ownership themselves. Defining the Roles The Owner:Responsible for vision, long-term direction, financial risk, and high-level strategic decisions.The Manager:Owns daily execution, workflow, SOPs, and tactical accountability.The Requirement:To move from “babysitter” to true manager, the individual must be trained to read and understand P&L statements so their daily decisions align with the company's financial reality. Attracting Talent vs. Hunting Unicorns Rather than passively hoping to “find” a superstar manager, Lawson argues shops must actively attract them through preparation and culture. Preparation:It starts with a detailed job description outlining specific responsibilities, outcomes, and authority.Always Be Recruiting:Don't wait until it's “raining” to fix the roof. Build a bench and maintain passive recruiting year-round.Social Media as a Window:Prospective hires—and often their spouses—observe a shop's culture long before applying. Posts that highlight team wins, birthdays, training, and certifications signal a healthy, supportive environment. Actionable Advice Lawson closes with a practical checklist for owners ready to upgrade from a babysitter to a true manager: Create a detailed job descriptionAddress personal insecurities around...

In this episode (#317), we address one of the most destabilizing experiences betrayed partners face: the collapse of reality after discovering a partner's hidden addiction. When betrayal comes from someone who appeared kind, loving, and emotionally present, the trauma can feel especially disorienting. Partners often question their intelligence, intuition, and judgment—but we make it clear that intuition cannot detect information that was deliberately concealed. Betrayal is not a failure of perception; it is the result of sustained secrecy, compartmentalization, and integrity abuse.Rather than focusing on whether the addict is truly in recovery or what the future might hold, we invite partners to gently shift their attention back to themselves. Grounding becomes essential in the aftermath of betrayal, as the nervous system is often locked in hypervigilance and survival mode. We explore the importance of pausing—not freezing—so that decisions are not driven by fear, pressure, or urgency. Authentic wants and needs are not ultimatums or selfish demands; they are expressions of self-truth that deserve to be honored, especially after trauma.Finally, we discuss what it means to reclaim self-trust. Loving another person authentically requires seeing them as they truly are, not just through hope or potential—but it also requires honoring one's own authentic limits, capacity, and bandwidth. This episode is not about making the “right” relationship decision. It is about choosing a path that allows the betrayed partner to remain congruent, grounded, and whole. Healing does not require predicting the future; it begins by staying honest with yourself in the present.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   From Shock to Self-Trust:  Reclaiming Your Inner Truth After BetrayalLearn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

Every major transformation needs a backbone—and for Cisco partners, that backbone is the Partner Experience Platform (PXP). In this episode of Shift Happens, Jeff Edwards sits down with Patrick Heenan, leader of PXP strategy and development, to explore how Cisco is redefining partner experience through co-design, simplicity, and AI-powered insights—all in support of the Cisco 360 partner program. From turning complex data into clear actions to giving partners real-time visibility into growth, performance, and opportunity, this conversation shows how PXP is becoming the central intelligence platform for partner success.

President Trump is hitting the road today, traveling to Iowa to kick off campaign events for this year's Midterm Elections in hopes that Republicans can keep control of both the House and the Senate. Recently, Republicans' messaging has centered around restoring "common sense and sanity" in government and putting more money back in the pockets of working families. Iowa Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson is running for Senator Joni Ernst's seat. She joins the Rundown to discuss her plans to address Americans' concerns and the importance of agriculture.As House Republicans prepare a series of high-stakes hearings into widespread fraud in Minnesota, taxpayers and lawmakers are asking a critical question: how deep does the rabbit hole go? Federal prosecutions have already exposed a $250 million scheme involving the Feeding Our Future nonprofit, and a new wave of allegations surrounding the state's Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) has brought Minnesota to the center of a national firestorm. Scott Dexter, a retired fraud investigator from the Minnesota Department of Human Services Inspector General's office, joins the Rundown to explain how the system failed, and whether Minnesota is just the beginning.

Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.This year's theme is Acceptance as a Path to Peace, and in this episode I return to a topic that quietly keeps so many of us stuck: blame.Blame can feel justified when life has been painful. When relationships are complicated. When we've felt hurt, abandoned, or misunderstood. But over time, blame keeps our attention focused outward, tying our sense of peace to other people's choices and behavior.In this episode, I share honestly from my own life, my marriage, my recovery journey, and what I've witnessed walking alongside hundreds of people on their healing path. For me, blame often showed up as “trying to help,” “pointing things out,” or wishing someone else would change and how spiritual practice helped me see what was really happening underneath.We explore how releasing blame doesn't mean minimizing your pain or pretending things didn't matter. It means becoming willing to be honest with yourself, to turn inward, and to stop giving your power away.When we choose responsibility ovRecover Your SOUL CIRCLE Group coaching with Rev Rachel is now open for enrollment.Join a sacred space to deepen your healing, connect in community, and walk the Recover Your Soul Process together:  1.

It was a pleasure to welcome Alex Urdea, Founder and CIO of Deep Ocean Partners to the Alpha Exchange. Alex traces his career from credit derivatives trading at a large bank to a risk management function at a hedge fund focused on distressed investing to ultimately building an asset-backed private credit platform focused on smaller, less trafficked segments of the lending universe. The conversation centers on how regulatory changes following the Global Financial Crisis, prolonged periods of low interest rates, and shifting investor preferences have reshaped where and how credit risk is priced. Alex describes how traditional public credit markets, including leveraged loans and high yield, have increasingly compressed spreads while loosening covenants, reducing compensation for bearing risk. In contrast, private credit has emerged as an alternative channel for borrowers unable to access bank balance sheets, particularly fast-growing businesses that are asset-rich but cash-flow constrained. He emphasizes that credit underwriting remains fundamentally about downside protection, liquidation value, and recovery — principles shaped by his experience in stress, distress, and complex capital structures. A  theme central to our discussion is the distinction between risk monitoring and risk management. Alex explains how Deep Ocean combines asset-backed lending with data connectivity and real-time monitoring to identify potential issues earlier in the life of a loan, rather than relying solely on periodic reporting or mark-to-market signals. The conversation also explores how macro forces — including rate shocks, tariffs, and supply-chain disruptions — can impose themselves even on carefully underwritten credits, reinforcing the importance of portfolio construction and diversification. I hope you enjoy this episode of the Alpha Exchange, my conversation with Alex Urdea.

In this podcast, Krisy Thomas, Senior Educator of The CWP Society, shares how a quiet moment at a venue changed everything: a sales manager noticed the credential and suddenly the conversation shifted from uncertainty to trust. That small recognition became the spark that accelerated a brand-new wedding planning business into a full-time career within a year.We pull back the curtain on why certification doesn't just open doors—it shortens the timeline from introduction to preferred lists, nurtures stronger vendor relationships, and helps venues view you as a safe, skilled partner.We walk through the early days of launching with just one wedding on the books and the deliberate decision to earn a recognized certification before the first event. You'll hear how that credential reframed outreach, increased email response rates, and led to venue tours and referrals without buying ads. We also break down the risk calculus venues make, why reputation protection drives their choices, and how a visible standard of training in timelines, contracts, logistics, and risk management turns "unknown" into "trusted." For vendors—photographers, florists, caterers—the shift is just as real: a certified planner signals clearer communication, smoother timelines, and calmer wedding days.Seasoned planners aren't left out. We explore how certification validates experience, exposes hidden gaps, and upgrades systems with smarter workflows and crisis plans. The community aspect matters too—shared knowledge, accountability, and support that make better outcomes repeatable. By the end, you'll have a practical roadmap: lead with proof, show up with consistency, and position yourself as the partner who protects reputations and elevates the couple's experience.Enjoyed the conversation?

Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://theultimatepartner.com/ebook-subscribe/ Check Out UPX: https://theultimatepartner.com/experience/ In this episode, we dive deep into Microsoft’s new “Frontier Firm” concept—a strategic framework designed to help organizations become AI-first. We explore the four key pillars of the success framework: enriching employee experiences, reinventing customer engagement, reshaping business processes, and bending the innovation curve. The discussion also covers critical updates from Microsoft Ignite, including the introduction of “IQs” (Work, Fabric, and Foundry) and the new Agent 365 for observability. Finally, we outline the massive opportunities for Azure partners, from core migration to building unified data platforms and deploying AI agents. Key Takeaways A Frontier Firm is an AI-first organization built on a four-pillar success framework. The four pillars are enriching employee experience, customer engagement, business process, and innovation. New “IQs” (Work, Fabric, Foundry) provide the intelligence layer for AI agents to operate effectively. Agent 365 was announced to provide security, identity, and observability for AI agents. Change management is just as critical as technology implementation for AI adoption. Azure partners have three main opportunities: migration, unified data platforms, and building AI apps. If you're ready to lead through change, elevate your business, and achieve extraordinary outcomes through the power of partnership—this is your community. At Ultimate Partner® we want leaders like you to join us in the Ultimate Partner Experience – where transformation begins.

And how can, uh, on a day-to-day, uh, basis can those people get their heads around what AI is and then help them, um, you know, leverage ai more [00:00:16] Vince Menzione: talking about leadership, Microsoft’s leadership around frontier firms. How should partners think about frontier firms? [00:00:23] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah, it’s a great question. [00:00:25] Cyril Belikoff: Uh, in the last, you know, six months or so, we introduced, uh, this concept of a frontier firm, which is really around an organization that is AI first. Yeah. Uh, now of course that’s not new. Um, but really we wanted to try and leverage all the experiences that we’ve had with many, many customers and partners and put it into some sort of. [00:00:47] Cyril Belikoff: Success framework and provide sort of, uh, uh, ingredients, if you will, on how to best get there. And so we came up with the success framework for Becoming Frontier, uh, in, in four areas. One is about, uh, enriching employee experiences, reinventing customer engagement, reshaping business process, and bending the innovation curve. [00:01:07] Cyril Belikoff: And if you look at any of the innovation that’s happened around AI and, and, and becoming AI first, um. All of the projects that we’ve done, the thousands, the tens of thousands of projects on a LA we’ve done have fallen into one of those four categories. So we really, we, we spoke about the success framework and how we can help customers, you know, become frontier. [00:01:28] Vince Menzione: Take us through it one more time. Maybe just a, a, a few, a little comment on each one of those four, because I think, yeah. Every single one of ’em standing on their own is so important for organizations. [00:01:36] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. That if you really think about it, it’s about how are we driving business outcomes. So the first one is en enriching employee experiences. [00:01:44] Cyril Belikoff: Nice. So each of us is an employee of some organization. And how is that organization enriching that experience, leveraging AI so that individuals can do great work, uh, whether they’re a developer. Or a marketer like myself or a salesperson or someone in HR or finance, AI is changing our daily operations. [00:02:06] Cyril Belikoff: And how can, uh, on a day-to-day, uh, basis can those people get their heads around what AI is and then help them, um, you know, leverage AI more? Then there’s reinventing customer engagement that’s really about. Our, our customer’s customer. And so how do we rethink that, uh, help them rethink those engagements with ai. [00:02:28] Cyril Belikoff: The third is reshaping business process. Of course, uh, we know about the opportunity with AI and agents and how we can streamline process, you know, remove hurdle, move, remove friction, make it faster and easier. Then the final is about bending the innovation curve, and that’s really about the new wave of, of experiences and applications and maybe even business models that might come up for our customers and how we help them with ai. [00:02:54] Cyril Belikoff: So, uh, like I mentioned, this concept of becoming frontier is relatively new, but we have the success framework on those four areas and, and deep experience in those four areas where we’ve helped, you know, thousands and thousands of customers over the last three or four years. [00:03:09] Vince Menzione: So you lead the Azure partner business. [00:03:11] Vince Menzione: How do you think about product strategy and can you share more about Azure partner opportunities specifically? [00:03:21] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. Um, I’ll take a little, a, a minor step back and talk just more broad, more broadly about, uh, Microsoft and then I’ll drill into Azure. It’s a great question. I love Azure. As you know, I’m Yes. [00:03:32] Cyril Belikoff: Um, part of the Azure team, um, but I, I mentioned becoming Frontier and at. At, um, at Ignite, we announced some company-wide announcements around products that we have available to help fulfill on those promises of becoming Frontier. Um, we announced three, what we call IQs, a work iq, a Fabric IQ, and a Foundry iq. [00:03:54] Cyril Belikoff: Those are really the intelligence within the organization that your AI and agents can leverage as a platform to get smarter. So Work IQ is essentially the knowledge about your employees and how your employees work. Um, of course, that’s, uh, confidential and proprietary to you, so no one else gets to see it. [00:04:12] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. But we provide you with the ability to leverage that information so that employees can, you know, work better. Then Fabric iq, that’s the how your business operates. Uh, so your business processes and then Foundry iq, that’s the sort of business knowledge, how, you know, different types of knowledge, whether it’s a database or a web storage or. [00:04:31] Cyril Belikoff: Document storage and how you can curate that so that you can have AI and agents sort of get smarter in the organization. Nice. And then of course, observability. You want to be able to observe all of this as an organization. AI can do interesting things and so you want to, you know, govern and observe. And so we announce this thing called Agent 365. [00:04:49] Cyril Belikoff: They’ve got a lot of news, which, um, just think about that as a, um. Like Microsoft 365 provides security and identity for a human agent. 365 does that for agents. So of course you want to make sure that agents, uh, have access to some things, not everything. They have an identity so you can track them and what they’ve, and what they’ve done on your behalf. [00:05:12] Cyril Belikoff: Um, and, uh, there’s observability in terms of, you know, how they operate. So we made a ton of product announcements to serve how we are helping customers becoming frontier. So lots of great new and, and lots of opportunity. ’cause as you, as you know, um, in ai it’s not only about the technology implementation or project identification, there’s a lot of change management there, um, in, in, in the technical systems, but in humans like. [00:05:40] Cyril Belikoff: We all workers today, and we, we operate our daily work in a certain way. In order to operate differently with ai, we have to train ourselves and there’s a bunch of change management opportunity for partners in addition to the technology adopt, uh, adoption implementation opportunity. So that’s sort of at the all up Microsoft level for Azure. [00:06:01] Cyril Belikoff: Obviously Azure’s, you know, fabric and foundry I mentioned earlier, that’s part of Azure and so yeah. Azure is the AI foundation, but we have other areas that customers are looking to us for. First is, you know, core migration and modernization. There are many customers that have plenty on premises estate and in order to Yeah. [00:06:19] Cyril Belikoff: Put AI around their data, it needs to be in the cloud. Exactly. Um, and so we’re still working with customers to migrate and modernize their infrastructure and then build a unified data platform. Uh, sort of the next area. Once they get the, their data in the cloud, they wanna stitch it together, whether it’s structured data or unstructured data into one sort of experience. [00:06:41] Cyril Belikoff: And then finally, obviously you wanna build AI apps and agents on top of all of that. So those are three major areas and tons of opportunities for partners, you know, in those areas. Uh, through things like our incentive programs, uh, Azure accelerates our, our, um, program for software companies or ISVs IV success, all layering out incentives, programs, and assistance to help customers in those three or four areas. [00:07:06] Vince Menzione: The Ultimate Partner Winter Retreat is gonna be here in the Boca Studio. This is the third year that we’re gonna be here in Boca. This is always a favorite of our community members, our executive members. Our sponsors and speakers, we’ll all be here in the studio, which is a really intimate setting. We can see it upwards of 40, 50 people. [00:07:29] Vince Menzione: Uh, we’ll be hosting an incredible dinner at the Boca Resort overlooking the golf course. That’s an incredible property. And, uh, we’d love to have you join us. Thank you for being part of the ultimate Partner community, and I hope to see you this year at one of our events. Thank you.
