    Stop Asking Clients, “How’s Everything Going?" (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    What if your next client conversation started with the three biggest risks they’re facing instead of, “How’s everything going?” Dan and Brian Doyle of vCIOToolbox explore how AI is changing the vCIO conversation—from faster assessments and smarter QBRs to finding the mundane work clients are ready to automate. And as AI adoption grows, so does a much bigger opportunity for MSPs: helping clients implement, secure, and govern it.

    Your Client’s Data Was Already Exposed. Copilot Just Found It. (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Copilot doesn't necessarily create your clients' security problems—it may just make them much easier to find. Dan and Derik Belair of Augmentt explore what happens when AI meets years of overshared files, excessive permissions, global admins, and messy Microsoft 365 environments. Plus, they discuss how MSPs can turn Copilot readiness into a valuable security and advisory conversation with clients.
