Inspired by a reddit comment, let's tackle the question "what should you do if you're new to the space?" I’ve done two videos that are super popular – “If I were to start an MSP”, and “Don’t Start an MSP”. The first is about the type of business I would start now, and the second about the challenges of the market as they exist now, that did not exist when I first started. If I was starting something today.. how would I disrupt my competitors? How would I disrupt and displace those established providers? Rather than gatekeeping… how could I stand before the gates and tell the invading army how to take them down?  💼 All Our SponsorsSupport the vendors who support the show:👉 https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ 🚀 Join Business of Tech PlusGet exclusive access to investigative reports, vendor analysis, leadership briefings, and more.👉 https://businessof.tech/plus 🎧 Subscribe to the Business of TechWant the show on your favorite podcast app or prefer the written versions of each story?📲 https://www.businessof.tech/subscribe 📰 Story Links & SourcesLooking for the links from today’s stories?Every episode script — with full source links — is posted at:🌐 https://www.businessof.tech 🎙 Want to Be a Guest?Pitch your story or appear on Business of Tech: Daily 10-Minute IT Services Insights:💬 https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/businessoftech 🔗 Follow Business of Tech LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/28908079YouTube: https://youtube.com/mspradioBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/businessof.techInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mspradioTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@businessoftechFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mspradionews Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

An interview with Alex Hoff of Auvik Networks. A large percentage of IT pros don’t know what is on their network Alex thinks networks are going to get more simple: Why? Why didn’t IoT drive new adoption as predicted? How do you think about zero trust security? What is your North Star vision of network management?
