Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kyle Christensen | AI Consultants Are Coming for Your Clients

Q: It is truthfully a three to four week engagement where you have to really understand the company's business at a higher level. Come out with maybe a pipeline of 12, these could be projects, and whittle it down to the top three that are going to give them the best value back for it, right?

Christensen agrees that discovering a client's needs takes paid time. He says MSPs should explain that they need access to the business and time to identify the highest-return opportunity, rather than give away an assessment or take on the risk without a defined scope.

Kyle Christensen | AI Consultants Are Coming for Your Clients

Q: I'd love to get your take on what you're seeing out there, especially as somebody that's helping train the folks that are going out there and doing these projects.

Christensen says AI adoption is still experimental for providers and clients. MSPs have an opportunity to guide customers who are early in their learning, but should first understand client-specific business processes rather than impose standardized solutions.

Abe Garver | Secrets to a Multi-Million Dollar MSP Exit

Q: What other things have you been seeing and hearing that need to be taken into consideration when somebody is looking to sell?

Garver says owners should think through what life will look like after closing and test possible next steps before selling. He describes using Halftime and reflective exercises to help sellers identify their priorities and decide whether a sale is right for them.

Abe Garver | Secrets to a Multi-Million Dollar MSP Exit

Q: What are some of the steps that an MSP should do before they say, okay, let me sign an NDA or push one out to get signed?

Garver recommends clarifying the seller's goals, choosing a limited set of buyers based on relationships and fit, and avoiding premature disclosure of confidential information. He also advises choosing an experienced, properly licensed M&A advisor and using an independent third party for quality-of-earnings work.

Larry Meador | The Real Threat Is Hiding in Your Clients' Data

Q: Where does a Cavelo fit in that security stack, and how does it help people close the gap on some of those fears?

Meador explains that Cavelo discovers assets and sensitive data, identifies who can access it and what they do with it, and combines that visibility with vulnerability and configuration management. Its AI analyst Cora correlates these signals to prioritize risks and recommend remediation, with future automated actions subject to MSP-controlled guardrails.
