Matt flies solo with guest host Manuel Palachuk, business coach and author of Getting to the Next Level: A Blueprint for Taking You and Your Business to the Top, this week, who somehow manages to turn the show into a drinking game.

Get ready for a sucker punch of IT news, views, and insights. Joined by guest host Vince Tinnirello, of Anchor Network Solutions, Matt and Rich chew over IT Glue buying TruMethods, Pax8 buying Sea-Level Operations, Sophos entering the XDR market, and Cytracom adding team texting to its UCaaS solution. Then your hosts catch up with Darren Gottesmann of Ingram Micro for a look at the crazy year behind us and the “golden age” we may be entering now.

Hungry for IT insights? Good, because Matt, Rich, and guest host Ro Kolakowski, founder of 6th Street Consulting, have a heaping helping for you on this episode, spanning from D&H’s new esports and gaming business unit to Intel’s outlook on the year ahead, BitTitan’s emerging “data synchronization as a service” plans, and the characteristics that make great MSPs great, according to Service Leadership’s Paul Dippell.

Erick and Rich are intrigued by BitTitan’s “data synchronization-as-a-service” strategy, certain you should do quarterly business reviews internally as well as with customers, and amused by the guy now walking from LA to San Francisco in a bear costume.

Actually, SCSI is an interface. Not sure who this bear is. Neither are Matt, Rich, and returning guest host Dave Seibert of managed service provider IT Innovators and the SMB TechFest event series. They do, however, have plenty to say about the change of channel chief at Microsoft, the latest firewalls from Sophos, the pending SYNNEX/Tech Data merger, and work-from-home security stacks.

Join Erick and Rich as they ponder the significance of Ingram Micro buying a PSA vendor, advise you to take a fresh look at your mission, vision, and values, and marvel at the guy who donated some old sweaters and $42,000 in cash to Goodwill.

If it feels like an obstacle course out there these days, you’re not alone. With Matt on vacation this week, Rich is hosting the show solo for the first time ever. Wonder how he’ll do? While the suspense builds, you’ll hear Rich and returning guest host Michael Goldstein, of LAN Infotech, discuss Ingram Micro buying a PSA vendor, Acronis introducing an innovative licensing model, and business tips from two superstar providers of cloud and managed services.

Thanks to some last-minute complimacations, Matt and Rich have no guest host this week and no guest interview. But that doesn’t stop them from discussing Datto’s interesmating backup deletion defense and Azure continuity solutions, plus AMD’s latest server processors and the implimacations of last year’s PPP and EIDL loans for your tax bill.

Don’t recognize a few of those words? Technically, that’s because they’re not words. They just should be.

Going a little stir crazy these days? Thinking about cybersecurity a lot? Matt, Rich, and guest host Brian Weiss, of ITECH Solutions, certainly are. More specifically, they’re thinking about Datto’s acquisition of threat detection vendor BitDam and its implications for the vendor’s security plans, not to mention the latest SMB-friendly enhancements to Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s GreenLake platform and Schneider Electric’s managed power partner program.

Check in on the latest from Solutions Granted and Zomentum and meet a channel newcomer named Gradient MSP courtesy of your guide to all things vendor, Joel Zaidspiner.
