In this episode, Peter talks with Matt Holzmann, Channel Director at Leapwork, about test automation, life in the Dynamics ecosystem, and what it really means to lead with authenticity.

They dive into:

• The business value of automated testing (and what “happy paths” really mean)

• How Leapwork supports partners with automation across D365 projects

• Why the Dynamics community feels more like family than a market

• Diversity in Dynamics — and why the “B” in LGBTQ+ matters more than people think

Matt also opens up about his journey as one of the few openly bisexual men in tech, his years at Microsoft, and how leadership and inclusion go hand in hand.

🎬 Behind the scenes at Just Peter

Not every podcast moment makes it to the final cut…

Like the times Peter forgets to press record, scrolls the wrong way in his script, or leaves in an intro that makes the editing team question everything.

Bas usually ends up laughing his way through the raw files and honestly, so do we.

The good news? The record button was pressed this time.

And the next episode with Matt Holzmann is on its way soon.

Stay tuned it’s worth it.

This Just Peter episode comes with a twist... we forgot to hit record for the first 15 minutes. Yes, you read that right. While those “lost minutes” will never be released, Holger from Hubdrive and I dove right back in, still laughing, and covered a lot of ground.

We talked about Hubdrive’s journey from SI to pure ISV, cultural differences between the European and North American Dynamics partner ecosystems, the challenges and opportunities in HR solutions, and of course… Formula 1.

Holger also shares his thoughts on AI and Copilot... what’s overhyped, what’s actually delivering value, and how customers can really benefit without even realizing AI is behind the scenes.

If you’ve ever:

• Forgotten to press record

• Wondered why some partners stick to their lane while others expand

• Debated whether AI is overrated or underhyped

• Wanted to hear a German’s honest take on Formula 1

  …this episode is for you.

Topics covered:

• The “lost” 15 minutes and how to restart with energy

• Why Hubdrive moved away from implementations

• Partner openness: Europe vs. North America

• Overhyped tech trends in Dynamics today

• HR solutions inside BC & F&O and why partners shouldn’t run from them

• The personal side of balancing travel and life
