Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Dentist to MSP: Building a Profitable Dental IT Niche (EP 1085)
Q: What sparked your shift from dentistry to dental IT?
A mentor-like moment during a conversation with an orthodontist about a costly software setup, followed by recognizing a gap for dentists who needed IT guidance tied to dental workflows and HIPAA.
From Dentist to MSP: Building a Profitable Dental IT Niche (EP 1085)
Q: Are you still practicing dentistry in any capacity today?
No, I haven't touched a scalpel in 24 years and am fully focused on IT within dentistry, leveraging my dental background to serve the vertical.
Proofpoint Helps MSPs Secure Microsoft 365 (EP 1082)
Q: What does a good standardized baseline look like for a smaller mid-sized client?
A solid baseline focuses on identities, communication mechanisms, and permission sprawl, plus implementing MFA (and pass keys) and starting with governance tools like Permission Manager to set and enforce policies before rolling out advanced features like Co-Pilot.
Proofpoint Helps MSPs Secure Microsoft 365 (EP 1082)
Q: How do you explain the gaps in built-in 365 security and how does Proofpoint fit in?
Microsoft provides basic protections, but 365 licensing and product design often target large enterprises with siloed management portals; Proofpoint brings together email security, backup, permissions management, and training into a single MSP-focused console to close gaps and provide layered defense.
Hope Is Not a Sales Strategy (EP 1074)
Q: How much of your growth has come from sales versus acquisitions, and are you planning acquisitions now?
We have been 100% organic so far, with a strong, full-cycle sales approach. As we've grown, we've added dedicated sales roles and a sales operations function to support strategic growth, and acquisitions are now part of the plan as a new territory to explore without sacrificing our organic momentum.
