It’s a whole new world, folks, and it just might be a great one too if you’re willing to rethink everything.

Ah, pie. Could there be a better treat in stressful times? We won’t claim it’s a substitute, but this week’s episode featuring guest host and MSP Ed Correia of Sagacent Technologies is a close-ish second. Grab a seat and listen in as Ed talks with Matt and Rich about what his company is doing to support customers during the coronavirus pandemic and prepare for tough economic times.

Erick and Rich discuss the partner relief measures that Lenovo and other vendors are rolling out, how to invest time freed up by the slow economy in your company’s future, and the sad state of affairs that has turned a truck fire involving a load of toilet paper into national news.

Stuck at home like everyone else, Erick and Rich explore Ingram Micro’s new cash-preserving credit programs, the importance (now more than ever) of using your PSA tool’s dispatch portal, and proof that supply chain issues are affecting everyone these days, including Mexican drug cartels.

Stuck at home these days? Matt, Rich, and guest host Dave Sobel, a former MSP and vendor exec who is now host of the Business of Tech podcast, have some stimulating infotainment for you about Ingram Micro’s new coronavirus-inspired finance programs, D&H’s behind-the-scenes efforts to help channel pros triage urgent client needs, and some interesting new security software and printers from HP.

In a slight departure from their usual format, Erick and Rich offer up half a dozen good, practical tips for getting yourself and your clients through the COVID-19 pandemic, then sort through the contents of a Los Angeles restaurant’s “emergency taco kit.”

Hmm, wonder what topic Matt, Rich, and guest host Mike Semel, of Semel Consulting, will talk about this week. Surprise! It’s the Coronavirus outbreak, and the challenges of coping with remote work generally and security specifically these days, a subject they get into in detail with interview guest Richard Stiennon, of security consultancy IT-Harvest.

He had too much good stuff from this year’s giant RSA security show to fit in one episode, so Joel Zaidspiner is back for conversations with Infosec, Panda Security, Respond Software, Trustifi, and XM Cyber.

In the first of a two-part series from one of this year’s biggest security conferences, Joel Zaidspiner visits with Keeper Security, McAfee, and Vijilan.

Join Erick and Rich as they discuss the latest product security investments at ConnectWise, supporting clients from home during the Covid-19 outbreak, and an amusement park operator in the U.K. who’s turned panicky toilet paper hoarding into a game.

Breakfast! It’s the most important meal of the day. Especially if you’re Matt and Rich, and you’ve got plenty of hot IT topics to discuss with guest host Bob Nitrio, CEO of Ranvest Associates. Items on the menu today include HPE’s compact new micro-server for SMBs, Nerdio’s new Windows Virtual Desktop deployment and administration system, WatchGuard’s acquisition of Panda Security, and Axcient’s new backup protection technology.

Pop into The Wiser Agency’s recent 7 Figure MSP Live event with Joel Zaidspiner for visits with Cytracom, Triafy, and MSP Lori Tisinai, of Computer Concepts USA.

Fighting bravely through hotel Wi-Fi issues, Erick and Rich discuss Axcient’s new technology for protecting backup data from ransomware, a book every channel pro should read on handling difficult client discussions, and why a guy brought a tuxedo-clad llama to his sister’s wedding.

So close, yet so far away! Both in sunny Southern California, Erick and Rich discuss the forthcoming unified Carbonite/Webroot partner program, why you should hire a forensic accountant before closing an acquisition, and the $60 million reasons an Irish drug dealer should have backed up his data.

Live from Florida, our Joel Zaidspiner checks in with High Wire Networks, SALVAGEDATA, and WatchGuard for their latest and greatest news.

Not easy to get clients to read your emails, is it? Maybe referencing this week’s episode will do the trick.
