🎙️ In This Episode of Joe Reads the News:

The Texas Creek Perch Studio: AI Robots, Mirror Tax Philosophy & DynamicsCon Vegas Edition
Joe Christensen is broadcasting live from a rainy creek in LaGrange, Texas (watch that water rise fast!), delivering his signature Friday LinkedIn feed news roundup with zero filter and maximum tangents. He opens with thanks to the robots and dives headfirst into AI taking over the market, reframes the big young-vs-old ideas debate as mature vs. immature with his “mirror tax” philosophy (“it’s not about you — go serve the customer”), crowns Britney Burke with this week’s Algorithm Award for her DynamicsCon panel announcement, reacts to Anya Chechersky’s creativity rules post, Ryan Carolyn’s pro-football-to-D365 implementation analogy, Ben Cole at Rux, and a ton of conference season energy, then books his Fontainebleau stay for DynamicsCon 2026 in Las Vegas on the spot. Light on straight headlines, heavy on Homer/Iliad wisdom, dad-joke philosophy, customer-first truth bombs, community love, self-promo, and pure unfiltered Joe chaos from the Texas perch.
