I’ve been building out something I call the Modern Excel Playbook, a store that brings together the same frameworks, workshops, handouts, and project materials I use with real clients. The goal is to offer a structured way to approach Excel, analytics, and AI so your work becomes more reliable, more scalable, and more deliberate.
You can begin with a few free, role-based guides to get a sense of what’s possible. From there, there are short quick win courses on topics like Python in Excel, Power Query, and AI workflows.
If you’re ready to go further, you’ll find in-depth handbooks, workshop recordings, and bundled trainings. There’s also a low-pressure monthly membership with new releases to help you stay current without feeling like you have to keep up with every feature update.
If you care about doing stronger, more thoughtful work in Excel, I’d invite you to take a look and let me know what you think: https://t.co/AsQNDevzSS
LAST CALL: Modern Excel Magic in a Week starts this Monday.
If you spend too much time cleaning up messy data, fixing fragile formulas, rebuilding reports, or waiting on expensive teams and software to get answers from your data, this class is for you.
Modern Excel has come a long way. With tools like Power Query, Power Pivot, dynamic arrays, Python in Excel, and Copilot, you can build cleaner workflows, reduce manual errors, and get much more value from the software you already use every day.
This matters even more now that AI is becoming part of the Excel experience. The people who will get the best results from AI are not necessarily those chasing every new tool, but those who understand how to structure their data, ask better questions, and use Excel’s modern analytics features with confidence.

You’ll get five live 60-minute sessions with me, a Microsoft Excel MVP, plus recordings, demo notes, a certificate of attendance, and a free ebook copy of my book, Modern Data Analytics in Excel.
We’ll move through Power Query for repeatable data cleaning, Power Pivot for stronger reporting models, dynamic arrays for better formulas, Python in Excel for advanced analysis, and Copilot for working more effectively with your data.
This is a practical way to modernize your Excel skills, make fewer spreadsheet mistakes, and put yourself in a much stronger position for the next wave of analytics work.
Sales end soon, and the class starts next week.
I hope to see you there!
Only one month to go until July 4. 🇺🇸
From America’s Block Party to Giving 4th, this milestone is an invitation for every American to reflect on where we’ve been and take part in shaping what comes next.
The countdown to America’s 250th is officially on.
The Pub at Hopkins is so random. I just assumed it was like Hudson News, one of those generic airport fixtures that somehow exists everywhere.
Turns out, as far as I can tell, it’s basically one of a kind. Well, not exactly. It’s part of a Cincinnati-based chain: https://t.co/cd9YjWxaEs. But the website doesn’t even mention the airport location.
Airports really are a netherworld, aren’t they?

I'm very proud that, nearly a year and a half after launch, I've been able to keep the wheels turning on my LinkedIn Learning course, Excel with Copilot: AI-Driven Data Analysis... and it's now approaching 200,000 learners!
