Gosh, puffins are cute. Who doesn’t love a bird in a tuxedo? Or are we thinking of penguins? What’s the difference, anyway? Never mind, we don’t have time for that, because there are way too many other topics for Matt and Rich to discuss on this week’s show with guest host Rob Boles, of managed security service provider BLOKWORX.

Erick and Rich discuss N-able’s product plans, the importance of thinking big about new opportunities in today’s changed IT landscape, and a handy new invention for people prone to walking into walls while gazing at their smartphone.

On the road again—and loving it—in the Lone Star State, ChannelPro’s Joel Zaidspiner checks in with AnswerConnect, CyberGuard360, and MSP360.

Who needs icing in the middle of their cake when they can enjoy a nice thick layer of raw baking flour instead? Actually, don’t answer that question. Just sit back and listen as Matt, Rich, and their guest host, MSP consultant Ronnie Parisella, mull over Gradient MSP’s freshly launched “data hygiene” product, Axcient’s new online-only file sync and share system, and Augmentt’s latest cloud management solution.

Erick and Rich discuss startup Gradient MSP’s first step toward building a channel pro “data intelligence” platform, explain why the best managed services sales pitch involves no selling at all, and ponder an “invisible sculpture” recently bought for 15,000 Euros.

He’s on the road and face to face with vendors again! Listen in on Joel Zaidspiner’s recent chats with Axcient, Cloudwerxe, OITVoIP, and ReachOut Technology.

There are lots of good reasons to be a channel pro. If golf isn’t one of yours, you need to listen to this week’s show, in which Matt, Rich, and guest host Andrew Sampson, of solution and managed service provider SAAI, discuss forthcoming partner resources from D&H, rising hardware prices, a new automated management solution from Extreme Networks, and ChannelPro‘s latest Vendors on the Vanguard list.

Erick and Rich discuss D&H’s new partner investments, possible hardware price spikes, using security bundles to boost margins, and soap made from snail slime, which turns out to be an actual thing.

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.

In honor of this week’s RSA security conference, Erick and Rich discuss four security tech trends, why you should make time for industry newsletters and emails, and a tech-savvy child who hacked his mom’s Amazon Prime account to order 918 boxes of popsicles.
