In this episode, I'm joined by the ever-insightful Marianne of Thrive Admin Services, a recurring guest who never fails to deliver fresh insights. We dive deep into the world of tech stacks and explore the vast potential of Microsoft 365 tools. Maz shares her journey from corporate EA to Microsoft 365 trainer, highlighting her passion for creating flexible systems that cater to individual business needs. We discuss the allure of shiny new tech and the importance of finding a methodology that resonates with how you think and work. Maz also introduces us to lesser-known Microsoft tools like Teams, Bookings, and Power Automate, illustrating how these can effectively replace several other paid applications and integrate seamlessly with your existing stack. You'll appreciate Maz's practical advice that's relevant for listeners eager to streamline their operations and enhance tech efficiency.

**Key Takeaways:**

1. Embrace Microsoft tools you already pay for.

2. Customize your tech stack for personal workflow.

3. Explore Teams as a viable Zoom alternative.

4. Power Automate eases manual processes.

5. Systems should adapt to you, not vice versa.
