Recording a session is not an easy task (for me). Learnings from this one:
1. I say "so" too much
2. I move the mouse around way too much.
3. I swear like a trooper.
4. Not using Teams anymore, moving to Camtasia
5. Prefer not to record at all TBH.

Put 10 top-level Power BI experts in a room, and the amount of knowledge they "don't" have would be huge! Knowledge in Power BI comes from experience, and most people's job only requires them to do fragments of the overall capability.
