<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Show Highlights:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How both Mike and Gillian got exposed to Salesforce.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why neither of them has dived into learning code.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How the modern version of Flow helped Gillian figure it out.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How developers can get better about their blind spots.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The benefits of taking on aspects of and understanding the admin mindset.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How to analyze your available tools based on their pros and cons.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What admins have domain over that developers don’t.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why we need both skills and mentors to become better at our jobs. </span></li
