Chandon, I have been a big fan for many years. I began my PBI journey after signing up for your Dashboard course and then later your PowerPivot course where you teamed with RC. I run a large BI team for a Fortune 50 company and we cannot find / hire the talent we need fast enough. You and Jo are good people, appreciate all your doing to develop the talent pool - we need it. And, thank you for how you’ve contributed to my personal career and our company’s success. Best wishes to you and Jo - great video!

You two are so beautiful together. I love how you think and react off of each other and it’s clear you have a nice relationship. Thanks again for sharing your expertise with us and it’s really nice to hear Jo’s perspective. I hope we see more of her in the future. Take care and stay well. And thanks for the scenery too!
