The Community Dig/DUG Diverse Minds - Podcast

The Community Dig/DUG Diverse Minds

Decades ago, lightning struck the Microsoft community and when the smoke cleared, a towering figure was left standing, D.oU.G. (Dynamics User Group)! D.oU.G. was a curious being eager to serve and destined to impact the folks using Microsoft Dynamics 365. Over the years, D.oU.G. learned, adapted, and created a space for the community to thrive. Now for the first time, D.oU.G. has a voice here at The Community DIG podcast!

The Community DIG podcast will allow D.oU.G. to wander down the rabbit holes and explore the quirky notions that fill our community. Join me, your host Bobby Small, your community members, and D.oU.G as we dig together in search of the stories and topics that enlighten, explore, and engage!
