Our dynamics podcast called D365 Shot First is where we geek out to the Microsoft tech stack and the wider Microsoft community… We also try to have a bit of fun and banter along the way.
Welcome to Dynamics 365 Shot First, the dynamics podcast from FormusPro where we explore the Microsoft Tech Stack, Data & AI, and the wider Microsoft community.
Hosted by our Technical wizards, this series dives deep into the world of Microsoft, AI tech and geekery, discussing latest developments, hidden gems and how it can all be used to empower organisations and individuals alike.
From Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform to Azure, Data & AI and beyond, we bring our expertise and unique perspectives to uncover the tools, trends, and innovations shaping the world today, tomorrow and in a galaxy far, far away.
Whether you’re a seasoned tech enthusiast or just curious about what Microsoft has to offer, the podcast will deliver valuable insights, thoughtful analysis and plenty of engaging conversations.
Join us on this journey through the Microsoft landscape… and it wouldn’t be a real dynamics podcast if we didn’t tell you to like, subscribe, and share your thoughts in the comments.

In this episode, Charlie Rodgers and Cam Dry dig into one of the biggest debates in consulting: should you go for the quick fix, or take the time to build something that lasts? 👉 From vibe coding “shortcuts” to designing solutions that clients actually adopt, they unpack the reality of what works in the long run, and why trust, communication, and planning matter way more than plastering over problems.
In this episode of FormusPro’s D365 Shot First, Charlie and Phil share proven tips for future-proofing your career in Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Business Central, and the wider Microsoft ecosystem.

From cost and risk to compliance and user adoption, nothing’s off limits.
We talk about the real-world mess of syncing CRM and BC. When Power Automate works, and when it doesn’t, and how AI is shaping (or breaking) dev habits.
