Mike Gerholdt is the Senior Director of Admin Evangelism here at Salesforce. His voice may sound very familiar to you. Mike is one of the longest-running podcasters in the Salesforce community and currently hosts the Salesforce Admin Podcast. Aside from Mike, I will also be joined by Gillian Bruce, a Principal Admin Evangelist at Salesforce, and another host of the Salesforce Admin Podcast.   Though we usually hear from developers, today we’re bringing in the admins. The roles of developer and admin may be different, but there are a few places where they overlap. That is what we are talking about in this episode. Mike, Gillian, and I are discussing our shared experiences and perspectives.   Show Highlights:  How both Mike and Gillian got exposed to Salesforce. Why neither of them has dived into learning code. How the modern version of Flow helped Gillian figure it out. How developers can get better about their blind spots. The benefits of taking on aspects of and understanding the admin mindset. How to analyze your available tools based on their pros and cons. What admins have domain over that developers don’t. Why we need both skills and mentors to become better at our jobs.     Links:  Mike on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MikeGerholdt Mike on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikegerholdt/ Gillian on Twitter: https://twitter.com/gilliankbruce Gillian on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gilliankbruce/ Salesforce Admins: http://admin.salesforce.com  Salesforce Admin Podcast: https://admin.salesforce.com/salesforce-admin-podcast  ***   EPISODE CREDITS:   If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.

Navigating Your Career with Mike Gerholdt - Wizardcast 75

Cloud TnT and Mike Gerholdt chat about how community is built, and the means by how people become empowered.  Building community is taking information that is being put out there, and helping others make the world a better place with it.  You can curate content, or connect people, and at the end of the day there’s a ton of ways to contribute. We also talked about System Administrators and bus drivers.
