Welcome to Season 2 of Google Workspace Recap! Happy New Year 2022 (I know, I can't believe it either)!

Steve and I are proud to announce the expansion of this podcast into a video show as we have been teasing for months. This is our first episode, and we invite you to check us out on Youtube if you prefer to watch us talk about all things Google instead of just listen. If you are enjoying our show on Spotify, you can watch it there as well, since we have been invited for early access to Spotify's Video Podcasts!

This will be a year of growth and experimentation for us as we launch the show on to YouTube in a video format and try new things and ways of doing things including working on this opening. We are thrilled to have you along for the ride and can’t wait to hear your input!

In our first episode of 2022 we have no official updates from Google (even they have to take a vacation once in a while) so we have a guest and have put together our Workspace Wish Lists for 2022. Enjoy!
