In Episode 12 of Keeping It Real, we sit down with Power Platform legend Shane Young for a deep, honest, and energizing conversation about the Microsoft community, the rise of AI, governance, learning trends, and what it really takes to build influence in the ecosystem.

Shane shares his journey from SharePoint to Power Apps, how his YouTube content became part of Microsoft’s onboarding, and why authenticity is the secret to building community. 

We also dive into insights from the State of the Power Platform Survey, including growth trends, confidence levels, governance maturity, and how organizations are preparing for AI‑powered development.
