What happens when a finance professional clicks a mysterious purple icon in Excel and discovers a whole new world? For Mate Tóth, that moment sparked a journey from spreadsheets to becoming a Microsoft MVP. In this episode, Mate shares how curiosity, community, and a passion for learning transformed his career. From building his first Power App in production to leading Hungary’s Power Platform user group, Mate’s story is a masterclass in grassroots tech leadership and the power of showing up.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Start Small, Think Big: Mate’s Power Platform journey began with a single Excel task—proof that big transformations often start with small curiosities.
Community as a Catalyst: His involvement in Toastmasters and local tech groups helped him grow as a speaker and leader, eventually leading to his MVP nomination.
Localization Matters: Language barriers and cultural nuances shape tech adoption—Mate shares how he’s bridging gaps in Hungary’s tech scene.
AI with Purpose: While enthusiastic about AI, Mate emphasizes ethical considerations and the importance of understanding each model’s strengths.
From Goals to Impact: Ironically, Mate became an MVP the year he stopped chasing the title and focused solely on helping others.
