This was one of my favorite roundups @Nikki Zavadska [Appfire]! I agree with @Teodora V _Fun Inc_ and @Andy Gladstone that the hype got me wondering what was at the end! That you @John McKiernan for the great intro into Jira Product Discovery! 

@Nikki Zavadska [Appfire] - keep the special segments and the bloopers at the end! Those make me laugh!
