Ever wondered how someone goes from reading a Lotus 1-2-3 manual in 1986 to becoming a Microsoft Excel MVP nearly 40 years later?
In this episode, Mike takes you on his journey through the evolution of spreadsheets, from using Lotus 123 on an IBM XT with its 5¼ inch floppy drives to teaching himself VBA.
Along the way, discover how a sandwich course placement (nothing to do with actual sandwiches!) led to an unexpected spreadsheet career, why Mike once had to deliver Supercalc training, and how Excel transformed from just another application into the cornerstone of a training career spanning multiple decades.
If you’ve ever been curious about where spreadsheets came from and how they became such an essential business tool, this personal history lesson offers some fascinating insights.
