The Texas Beehive Studio: Coffee, Cough & Community Edition (March 27, 2026)
Joe Christensen is broadcasting live from his Texas beehive with Ferdinand restored to his rightful place over his left shoulder. Amped up on Chameleon cold brew spiked with Mud Water, munching oranges, and powering through a husky sick cough, Joe dives into his LinkedIn feed with signature tangents, dad jokes, heckling, and overflowing affection for the Microsoft Dynamics/Power Platform/MVP crowd. He crowns Ben Cole with the Algorithm Award, celebrates the MVP Summit wrap-up, shares Mary Myers’ beautiful adoption/community belonging story, gives Sean Gallagher the “What the L” award for his agent-driven ERP work, shouts out Kurt Bueller’s Data Goblin plugins, and teases the big upcoming Report Factory launch plus more AI-powered product development. Light on hard news, heavy on vibes, community love, and pure Joe chaos.
