    #270 - Chris Barber on How Joining a Professional Organization Can Help an MSP

    "Chief Nerd" Chris Barber insists that networking is critical to building a successful MSP. It's important to get out there and show them a side of you they won't forget. Like he tells ChannelPro Tech Editor Matt Whitlock, Barber is "kind of a cartoon character," but people remember him. The pair discuss how joining organizations — from local chambers of commerce to groups specific to the industry, like the National Society of IT Service Providers — can be a game changer for MSPs, how these memberships can result in not just new clients but leads for even more, and how these connections can make a difference in buying decisions. There are plenty of insights in this episode that you won't want to miss!

    #266 - Liability Guru Joe Brunsman Offers Tips on How Not To Get Burned

    It isn't often that MSPs WANT to hear from someone described as an "insurance dork" but Joseph Brunsman is the exception. The liability guru and former naval officer joins Tech Editor Matt Whitlock to chat about what MSPs need to do to avoid compliance traps. Brunsman shares what's happening in the world of MSP regulations right now, shares suggestions on how not to get burned — with the "million-dollar MSP lawsuit" as an example — and he answers three questions in rapid-fire format. And along with all those nuggets of wisdom, he reveals a childhood cringe moment: When his grandmother took him to a matinee show of the first "Austin Powers" movie. In her defense, she had no idea what it was about. "Throw me a friggin' bone here!"
