Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tas Gray: Why AI and Automation Will Make or Break the Modern MSP
Q: How do you decide what to automate versus keep human, and what's one thing you chose not to automate?
A structured matrix weighing time savings, error reduction, and consistency against implementation effort guides automation decisions; onboarding/offboarding is a prime automation target, though some aspects of user interactions still require human involvement.
Tas Gray: Why AI and Automation Will Make or Break the Modern MSP
Q: How did moving to Jakarta affect management and operations, and what changed to make it work?
The team leveraged remote leadership, a remote-first approach, and consistent virtual communication, proving that physical presence isn't necessary to manage an MSP effectively.
Tas Gray: Why AI and Automation Will Make or Break the Modern MSP
Q: What has been the biggest personal and professional takeaway from the last six months?
Tas highlights the rapid personal change with his family, while professionally he emphasizes embracing AI tools like Claude Code to boost productivity and streamline operations.
Why People and Relationships are the Real Future of MSP: A Conversation with Brenton Johnson
Q: What one piece of advice would you give MSP owners who feel stuck following the crowd?
Don't be better, be different. Identify what you uniquely do well and double down on that differentiation to attract the right clients and build a sustainable, high-performing culture.
Tas Gray on Building, Productising, and Selling an MSP Side Hustle
Q: Was there an intention to build and sell the MSP Magic product, and how did the exit unfold?
The hosts discuss that while selling wasn't the sole aim, there was always consideration of a future exit. The sale happened after recognizing capital constraints, market competition, and the need for larger backing to reach the next growth stage. Hornet Security emerged as the buyer, with a favorable, well-structured deal and a process that included in-person interactions and integration planning. The value of a non-emotional, well-planned exit is highlighted as central to a successful outcome.
