Uncle Marv's IT Business Podcast (Real Talk for IT Pros & MSPs)

I sat down with Lewis and Steph from the N‑able Head Nerds crew to unpack what’s really changing in the MSP game: your clients don’t want another tool, they want outcomes and business resilience. We get into the shift from “cybersecurity” as a tired buzzword to a more powerful story around keeping doors open, maintaining revenue, and helping business owners survive their worst day without getting lost in the weeds of MDR, UEM, or whatever the latest acronym is. We also talk through CMMC, governance, and compliance as real revenue opportunities instead of scary alphabet soup. Lewis shares how he’s building executive‑level tabletop exercises and resiliency pulse checks, while Steph walks through practical ways MSPs can package services, improve their websites, and run profitable executive business reviews without immediately throwing money at another tool. We close by talking about why events like Empower matter so much for MSPs who actually want to grow and not stay stuck in a vacuum.

Frank and I sit down at Empower 2026 to unpack where N‑Able is investing, how AI and UEM are reshaping endpoint management, and what that actually means for MSP service catalogs, pricing, and security offerings. We get into the control-plane vision for UEM, the action layer for security, and how N‑Able is using Enzo and its head nerds to turn field lessons into repeatable playbooks and automation MSSPs can actually execute. We also talk about the human side of the channel: why Frank is still fired up after 23 years, how N‑Able works with 25,000 partners worldwide, and why peer-to-peer sessions at Empower often drive the next set of features and acquisitions. Frank shares how Empower is going on the road, what he’s hearing in one‑on‑one conversations about AI monetization, and why MSPs should be talking AI strategy in every QBR, even if clients haven’t figured out their plan yet.

Mike Wise runs Clockwork Networks as a one-man MSP, and he’s doing it intentionally. This wasn’t about staying small because he had to—it’s about building a business around efficiency, standardization, and control. We talked through how he niched into tax professionals and compliance-heavy clients, and how that decision simplified everything from tooling to service delivery. We also got into security, specifically identity-first approaches and passkeys. Mike shared how leaning into Microsoft Entra ID and eliminating passwords has helped prevent real-world attacks. This is one of those conversations that challenges the idea that growth always means hiring more people. Sometimes growth means doing less, better.

We dig into how their MSP quietly turned into a “ticket factory” where work piled up, documentation was thin, and a 20‑year employee held way too much tribal knowledge. From there, Dawn and Dave break down the specific steps they took to fix it: rebuilding processes, enforcing documentation standards, killing weak level one roles, focusing on root cause analysis, and putting real accountability around metrics like reopen rates and first‑time resolution. By the end, you’ll hear a practical roadmap for turning chaos into a more predictable, proactive IT services operation.

In this conversation with Tim Coach from Cynomi, I pull back the curtain on what it really takes for MSPs to offer vCISO, cybersecurity, and compliance services that actually make money instead of creating headaches.

This episode is all about the gap between what we say we're delivering and what's really happening on our clients' networks. I brought in Frank Raimondi of IGI Cybersecurity to make the case for a proactive, left-of-boom approach to cybersecurity — treating network health the way a doctor treats a patient: ongoing monitoring, honest conversations, and a real duty of care. Whether you're dealing with noisy alerts, nervous about what a scan might turn up, or trying to figure out where AI fits into your security stack, Frank and I gave you the straight talk you need to hear.

If you’ve ever stared at NIST, CIS, or SOC 2 requirements and thought, “Where do I even start?”, this episode is for you. Jared Casner from Blacksmith InfoSec joins me to break compliance out of the checkbox trap and show MSPs how to turn security frameworks into real, billable services your clients will actually value.

Most MSPs say they’re “relationship‑driven,” but Laura Jeter has turned that into a repeatable sales engine inside a large national managed services organization. In our conversation, she shares real‑world stories from enterprise deals, lessons from working with global vendors, and the exact research‑first habits she expects from her sales team before they ever book a meeting. If you’re tired of being seen as a cost center instead of a strategic IT partner, you’ll want to steal a few pages from her playbook. === Time Stamps == Guest https://www.vectorsecuritynetworks.com === Shout-outs https://www.mspassociation.com/ === Companies / Vendors / Products Mentioned https://www.linkedin.com/saleshttps://www.zoominfo.comhttps://www.itexpo.comhttps://www.mspexpo.com === SPONSORS: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/threatlockerhttps://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/netally/https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/bvoiphttps://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/trugridhttp://itbusinesspodcast.com/designerready === SHOW MUSIC: https://elements.envato.com/upbeat-fun-sports-rock-logo-CSR3UET === Connect with Uncle Marv 🌐 Website: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/ 🎙 Host: Marvin Bee 🛒 Uncle Marv’s Amazon Store (gear & tools I recommend): https://amzn.to/3EiyKoZ ☕ Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/itbusinesspodcast If you found value in this episode, share it with another MSP, IT provider, or tech entrepreneur.

If you’ve ever had a client’s “other vendor” show up, hit a wall with your security tools, and then blame IT, this episode is for you. I share fresh stories from the field on using ThreatLocker to enforce guardrails, manage AI agents and VPN tools like Tailscale, and keep control of your 365 tenant and endpoints while still letting clients get work done. Then we shift into my recap of Channel Pro Defend and ThreatLocker’s Zero Trust World, talk cyber insurance requirements, hardened RMM and identity controls, and yes—take a fun detour into the best swag, socks, hats, and gear I picked up along the way. === Chapters === Shout-Outs https://www.linkedin.com/in/dannyjenkinscyber/https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianjweiss/https://www.linkedin.com/in/reaganroney/https://www.linkedin.com/in/marissamaldonadoproda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/frankmerino/https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradleygross/https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-dwyer-bb968b36/https://www.linkedin.com/in/ali-johnston-a38a27220/ === Companies / Vendors / Products Mentioned https://superwhisper.com/https://tailscale.comhttps://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365https://msp-channel.comhttps://www.acronis.comhttps://events.channelpronetwork.com/in-person-events/https://ztw.com/https://www.ninjaone.comhttps://zaun.aihttps://www.corkinc.comhttps://www.infimasec.comhttps://www.cavelo.com/https://monjur.com/https://kiplingsecure.ai/https://www.kaseya.comhttps://amzn.to/3NDYq91https://www.n-able.comhttps://mspprocess.com === SPONSORS: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/threatlockerhttps://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/netally/https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/bvoiphttps://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/trugridhttp://itbusinesspodcast.com/designerready === SHOW MUSIC: https://elements.envato.com/upbeat-fun-sports-rock-logo-CSR3UET === Connect with Uncle Marv 🌐 Website: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/ 🎙 Host: Marvin Bee 🛒 Uncle Marv’s Amazon Store (gear & tools I recommend): https://amzn.to/3EiyKoZ ☕ Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/itbusinesspodcast If you found value in this episode, share it with another MSP, IT provider, or tech entrepreneur.

This one’s a game changer. A single court ruling just made it easier for customers and insurers to come after MSPs after a breach—and harder for you to get out of it.

In this episode, I crack open NetAlly’s brand‑new LinkRunner AT1500 and walk through a live, real‑world test of this entry‑level copper network link and cable tester. We look at one‑tap cable tests, PoE validation up to 90W, switch and VLAN discovery, and how it ties into Link‑Live to document your work for clients and MSP teams. If you’re an IT pro or MSP owner building out your troubleshooting go‑bag, this gives you a practical look at what the AT1500 can (and can’t) do.
