Hey everyone! I'm diving into PowerShell with 'PowerShell in a Month of Lunches,' which has been awesome so far. However, I really want to see the practical applications of what I'm learning. After a long day at work, I often don't have the energy to practice, so I've been thinking it might be helpful to watch people using PowerShell in real job scenarios—like troubleshooting, automation, and team scripting. I'm particularly interested in how they think through problems, plan, and handle mistakes. If you know any creators who share this kind of content, I'd love to hear your recommendations!

I really like Jeff Hicks! He does a lot of instructional content, including podcasts and newsletters with PowerShell presenters. His insights are always insightful and can give you a fresh perspective on using PowerShell.
You could also check out V. Anton Spraul's work. He has some interesting content that might help you develop your problem-solving skills. Here’s his YouTube channel link: [V. Anton Spraul](https://youtube.com/@vantonspraul?si=YOiRNUvGN3EWf00z).
You might want to check out Adam the Automator! He shares a lot of great tutorials on his site. While it's not exactly the raw problem-solving approach you're looking for, he's a solid resource for learning the basics and building from there.
A great way to learn is by coming up with your own projects and figuring things out as you go. Try to avoid relying too much on AI, since it can sometimes hinder your learning experience. Instead, think about creating simple UI forms in PowerShell—it's a fun way to build your skills!
I appreciate the suggestion! I was hoping for something more real-world though—like watching someone tackle an actual work scenario from start to finish. Just learning the basics doesn't quite hit the mark for me.
