Microsoft is making changes on how you can authenticate your logins and recover your accounts. Part of that starts in September 2026, when the tech giant will strongly "encourage" its users to move to Passkey logins and eventually change the methods you can use to recover your account if you get logged out.
There are three deadlines between September 2026 and February 2027 all Microsoft users should be aware of.
Charly breaks it down in todays episode:
✅ The three deadlines and how they affect you
➡️ What to think about if you set a passkey, including the risks

Experimenting with AI can help you find ways to make your business work better however, it's not without it's drawbacks. Knowing its limitations is essential, particularly if you’re asking it to do work you need to rely on.
Dave Pengelley, a technology adviser who spent a decade at Salesforce and now runs Valid Agenda, joins Charly to talk about what he's doing with AI and what he's learned along the way. There’s plenty of enthusiasm, some frustration and a shared interest in finding uses that deliver something worthwhile.
Their conversation raises some questions worth considering:
✅ Are you asking AI to interpret information or follow a process that needs the same result every time?
➡️ Is it helping you think through an idea, or just agreeing with whatever you say?
⚡ Have you saved yourself work, or created more things you need to check?
⭐ If you’ve saved time, could you finish earlier instead of taking on another task?

➡️ Why the relationship matters in selling.
⚡ How technology can aid the process as much as hinder it.
