So whether you are either laughing at me (like I do LOL) or using my stumbles to help you save you time, thank you for giving it a shot and riding with me during this fun time!

Initially this was a year long journey but I DO intend to continue to share my experiences through the many blogs and podcasts for the foreseeable future – you’re stuck with me, I guess haha. – thank you all so much for your continued support!

Voting is easy, and quick, and you can only vote once per category! Voting ends September 4th, so vote now! VOTE HERE

There are several folks nominated and I am honored to be considered in this same list – honestly, not just saying that. If you feel so inclined to vote for me, thank you (sincerely)!!

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed sharing my journey and look forward to continuing using Microsoft Copilot every single day, trying to be a better version of myself; The World’s Okayest Shawn.
