Episode 187 | The AI Paywall: Navigating Copilot Licensing and Expectations with Peter Ward

About this episode

The episode discusses the discrepancies between Microsoft Copilot demos and actual licensing availability with guest Peter Ward.

For this episode, I spoke with Peter Ward, a fellow Microsoft MVP and CEO of NYC-based SoHo Dragon, on the growing gap between what organizations see in Microsoft Copilot demos and what is actually available through their existing licenses. We explore how licensing complexity can impact adoption, create unrealistic expectations, and even lead to an emerging divide between AI-enabled employees and everyone else.
