"Chief Nerd" Chris Barber insists that networking is critical to building a successful MSP. It's important to get out there and show them a side of you they won't forget. Like he tells ChannelPro Tech Editor Matt Whitlock, Barber is "kind of a cartoon character," but people remember him. The pair discuss how joining organizations — from local chambers of commerce to groups specific to the industry, like the National Society of IT Service Providers — can be a game changer for MSPs, how these memberships can result in not just new clients but leads for even more, and how these connections can make a difference in buying decisions. There are plenty of insights in this episode that you won't want to miss!

It isn’t often that MSPs WANT to hear from someone described as an “insurance dork” but Joseph Brunsman is the exception. The liability guru and former naval officer joins Tech Editor Matt Whitlock to chat about what MSPs need to do to avoid compliance traps. Brunsman shares what’s happening in the world of MSP regulations right now, shares suggestions on how not to get burned — with the “million-dollar MSP lawsuit” as an example — and he answers three questions in rapid-fire format. And along with all those nuggets of wisdom, he reveals a childhood cringe moment: When his grandmother took him to a matinee show of the first “Austin Powers” movie. In her defense, she had no idea what it was about. “Throw me a friggin’ bone here!” Links mentioned in this episode: Brunsman’s most popular YouTube video on the million-dollar MSP lawsuit. - https://youtu.be/7reZYdTmjhs Brunsman’s YouTube channel, and on LinkedIn. - https://www.youtube.com/@JosephBrunsman/featured, https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephbrunsman/ Brunsman’s books - https://www.amazon.com/Books-Joseph-E-Brunsman/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3AJoseph+E+Brunsman New Cybersecurity Center of Excellence Aims to Build Stronger Workforce,  Provide Key Services - https://www.channelpronetwork.com/2024/07/01/cybersecurity-center-of-excellence-seeks-to-build-stronger-workforce/?utm=cpw Tips to Equip SMBs with Effective Cybersecurity Communication Plans - https://www.channelpronetwork.com/2024/06/25/tips-to-equip-smbs-with-effective-cybersecurity-communication-plans/?utm=cpw Understand Your Audience: How to Build a Community via Organic Social Media - https://www.channelpronetwork.com/2024/06/25/understand-your-audience-how-to-build-a-community-via-organic-social-media/?utm=cpw CrowdStrike and NinjaOne Executives Weigh In on Why Their Strategic Partnership Is Great News for MSPs - https://www.channelpronetwork.com/2024/06/21/crowdstrike-and-ninjaone-executives-weigh-in-on-why-their-strategic-partnership-is-great-news-for-msps/?utm=cpw Join us at our upcoming ChannelPro Network events, free for qualified attendees: ChannelPro Deep Dive: Strategies on Selling Cybersecurity Services on July 17 - https://events.channelpronetwork.com/channelpro-deep-dive-strategies-selling-cybersecurity-services?utm=cpw ChannelPro Defend East on Aug. 7-8 in Iselin, NJ - https://events.channelpronetwork.com/2024-channelpro-defend?utm=cpw ChannelPro Defend West, Nov. 12-13, in the Los Angeles area. - https://events.channelpronetwork.com/2024-channelpro-defend-west?utm=cpw Use promo code Podcast24 when registering.

There’s just no stopping that guy, is there? Sigh. In any event, Matt, Rich, and returning guest host Bob Coppedge, of managed services provider Simplex-IT(link is external), aren’t about to let that prevent them from diving into the new cyber insurance pact between Sophos and Cowbell Cyber, the upgraded endpoint protection solutions Sophos released recently, or the first Dynabook laptops to sport 13th Gen Intel processors. Then they’re joined by Eric Kokonas, head of MDR product marketing at Sophos, for a look at why MDR adoption is climbing fast and how MSPs should employ it.

Oh, Florida Man. Will you ever cease to amuse us with your zany antics? Actually, we know two Florida men who you’re wise to take seriously. One is Matt Rose, co-founder and director of technology services at Tech Rage IT, who joins Matt and Rich this week to talk about ConnectWise’s AI-based automated scripting tool, Kaseya’s forecast for the year ahead, and why cyber liability just might be your new best friend. The other Florida man you don’t want to miss is the always insightful Jay McBain, chief analyst for global channels at Canalys, who joins the conversation to explain how current economic trends are impacting vendors and their partners, and why everyone in the channel is living in “the decade of the ecosystem.” Crazy!

This week's episode might remind you of that oddly misformed candy that spent a little too much time in your pocket with regular co-host Rich Freeman out on vacation, but is still just as delicious as Matt and guest co-host Erick Simpson take you door-to-door for some ChannelPro trick-or-treating. And what should you expect in your candy-bag when you get home? A sweet and sour discussion on why you should think about firing some customers this quarter, a chocolaty story on using gaming PCs as rendering engines, and a Twix-like look at two very different Dynabook laptops just to name a few. Then stick around for a little Halloween fun as Matt and Erick's break out some top scary movie picks to check out while you wait for the next episode. How can you do that?

A little shame in your life isn’t a problem. Piles of the stuff is a different story. While we ponder how things went this badly wrong, you can enjoy this week’s episode, in which Matt, Rich, and returning guest host—MSP, security expert, and ChannelPro Peer of the Year Oli Thordarson of Alvaka Networks—discuss the latest enhancement to Sophos MDR, the latest partner resources from D&H, the new partner program from NetApp, and the secrets to successfully onboarding and offboarding managed services clients. Then they’re joined by Corey Nachreiner, chief security officer at WatchGuard, for a tour through that vendor’s latest Internet Threat Report. Scary yet fun stuff just in time for Halloween, and not the slightest bit shameful.

Though Matt and Rich don’t know exactly what wobblypop is, they both have a strong hunch they’d enjoy it, thanks to input on the topic from this week’s returning guest host, Scott Beck, of BeckTek. Scott’s a Datto partner, so he has plenty of thoughts to share during an in-depth look at this week’s DattoCon event, what was announced there, and how the channel pros in attendance reacted. Scott’s also a security-first MSP, so he has plenty to contribute during an informative conversation with Matt Brennan, SonicWall’s North American channel chief, about the surprisingly less than totally depressing state of the security landscape per SonicWall’s latest cyber threat report.

If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a thousand times: Billing customers is exactly like a 3D puzzle involving wooden blocks. Actually, it’s quite possible you’ve never heard anyone say that, but you’ll understand what we mean after listening to this week’s episode, in which Matt, Rich, and returning guest host Ro Kolakowski, of 6th Street Consulting, discuss ConnectWise getting in the automated managed services payments business, Augmentt rolling out real-time cloud security alerting, Addigy introducing automated policy enrollment for Macs, and a new 17-inch foldable PC from ASUS (pronouced ah-SOOS, we think) that may or may not have a use case. Then your hosts are joined by Sanjay Mehta, chief cloud officer at Tackle, for an enlightening conversation about the future and importance of cloud marketplaces for channel pros that’s guaranteed not to result in a pile of blocks on the family room table.

Seems like you can’t trust anyone these days, and ESPECIALLY not zoos, where the “animals” always seem to be “napping.” Really burns us up. While we seethe with outrage, we encourage you to join Matt, Rich, and guest host Rick Smith, of Renactus Technology, the MSP Unplugged podcast, and the Techcon Unplugged IT conference, as they discuss all the news from the Microsoft Inspire partner conference, the where, how, and why of Windows 365, and Matt’s latest, politically-themed roundup of cool hardware from the first half of the year. Then they’re joined by channel consultant MJ Patent, of Alveo, for a conversation about go-to-market strategy, portfolio strategy, and service portfolio management.

If you love ice cream as much as we love ice cream it won’t surprise you that ice cream loves ice cream too. Please don’t waste any time making sense of that sentence, though, because there’s too much good stuff in this episode, in which Rich (flying solo while Matt’s on vacation) and returning guest host Eric Long, of Teracloud, examine a new product bundle from N-able for early growth MSPs, new data on cloud security and PC sales, and best practices for conducting employee performance reviews. Then they’re joined by Jon Murchison, CEO of MDR vendor BlackPoint Cyber, to discuss a scary recent incident in which attackers turned everyday IT management systems into nearly undetectable ransomware delivery tools. Not as sweet as ice cream, but no MSP should miss it.

Why does so much nautical terminology sound vaguely naughty? While we ponder that vital topic, please enjoy this week’s ChannelPro Weekly, in which Matt, Rich, and guest host/MSP consultant extraordinaire Manuel Palachuk, of Manuel Palachuk International, discuss N-able buying a cloud management vendor, Augmentt offering free cloud management tools, and Acronis integrating with Splashtop. Then stick around for an important discussion with insurance expert Justin Reinmuth, of Techrug, about risk management for channel pros (hint: there’s a lot more than insurance involved).

How about that Sven? You do know Sven, right? Everybody knows Sven! Especially Matt, Rich, and their returning guest host for this special episode of ChannelPro Weekly sponsored by Exclusive Networks, Chris Ploessel of RedNight Consulting. When not reminiscing about Sven, they discuss the state of the desktop as a service market, the rise of vertical industry clouds, and the secrets to successful networking (the professional kind, not the IT kind). Then they're joined by Mark Leff of Exclusive Networks for a can't-miss conversation about the authorized Fortinet training services Exclusive now offers, a first among distributors, and more broadly about the importance of security training in attracting employees in a tight labor market, retaining the employees you have, and growing your security business. It'll change your thinking on a topic you thought you knew all about. Take it from Sven!

Fear not, channel pros. Matt and Rich will protect you from nosey little talking paper clip icons. And with help from returning guest host Angel Rojas, of DataCorps Technology Solutions, they’ll also discuss Kaseya closing its acquisition of Datto, the new, possibly breakthrough RMM solution Kaseya says it has coming later this year, and the new AI-powered recommendation engine Kaseya just launched that they swear isn’t Clippy. Plus, we’ll dive into the keys to building sticky customer relationships. All of which is followed by a visit from Managing Editor Colleen Frye for a can’t-miss conversation with David Rose, of Rose Computer Technology Services, about his inspiring contributions in the local community and how you can start making an impact helping people in need too. Try as he might, even Clippy couldn’t spoil this episode!

Remember your first Walkman? No? Then you’re a lot younger than Matt and Rich, who are joined by returning guest host Lisa Shorr, of MSP branding consultancy Shorr Success and Secure Future Tech Solutions, a managed service provider in Rhode Island, to discuss cyber insurance news from Augmentt and ConnectWise, partner program news from Mailprotector and Malwarebytes, and the latest scary threat news from last week’s RSA Conference. Then all three of your hosts are joined by Splashtop channel chief Justin Windsor to discuss that vendor’s 2022 State of Remote Support Market Trends Report and its disturbing stats on help desk technician burnout. It’s a conversation so interesting you’ll want to hit rewind and then play a few times.

Put ‘er there, pal! Or come to think of it, maybe don’t per ‘er there just yet. While we think that through, we invite you to join Matt, Rich, and returning guest host Michael Goldstein, of LAN Infotech, as they discuss the new threat intelligence portal from Kaspersky, former Microsoft channel chief Rodney Clark’s new gig, the current state of play in the hardware market, and whether or not cloud vendors selling direct to end users is a threat to channel pros. Then stick around for a ChannelPro Weekly first, as Matt and Rich are joined by MSP and business guru Rick Jordan for a simulcast conversation about the tech landscape, the M&A market, and more that will appear both here and in Rick’s ALL IN podcast.
