    Brian has become one of my favorites for podcasts. He provides insights without really pushing anything. This is frankly, rare.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Andrew Jordan | The Financial Fundamentals Every MSP Needs
Q: What are the steps I should be taking if I'm a new MSP to set up my books for long-term health?
Start by building out cost of goods sold to separate product and service lines, then segment direct costs so you can see true gross margins. From there, align labor costs, onboarding expenses, and SG&A in a way that reflects operational reality, and use those numbers to guide hiring and marketing decisions.
James Davis | Surviving the Commoditization of MSPs: Strategies for Future-Proofing
Q: Is AI hype something MSPs should embrace or avoid, and why?
AI is a tool, but the real value comes from translating data and workflows into actionable, business-level improvements; avoid treating AI as a magic button and instead integrate it into a broader advisory capability.
James Davis | Surviving the Commoditization of MSPs: Strategies for Future-Proofing
Q: How should MSPs approach conversations with non-technical leaders like CFOs or COOs?
Prepare to discuss metrics that matter to the business, such as profitability, efficiency, and risk, and show how technology initiatives align with those strategic goals, not just with IT improvements.
James Davis | Surviving the Commoditization of MSPs: Strategies for Future-Proofing
Q: What is the core shift you see MSPs needing to make to avoid commoditization?
Move from a pure technical/operational focus to a client-centric, advisory role that understands the client's business, data, and industry, and leads with business outcomes rather than just technology fixes.
Paul Knittle | Why Community Wins Every Time in the MSP Industry
Q: So let's kick off, though, with who you are, for those that don't know you, what is your background?
Paul describes his ascent from sales roles at telecoms to founding MTMG, highlighting how his experience with mobility and IT sales shaped MTMG's focus on service enablement and community-driven growth for MSPs.
