MSP Unplugged

Paco's back in the studio after a packed stretch — welcome to the first episode of MSP Unplugged's return!
Catch up on the latest:
Quick tips & tricks: Affordable branded backups with Aaron's Auto Glass Fabs (just $66!), seamless data migration via SQLBackupAndFTP, and troubleshooting ControlOne VPN/DNS issues.
Big updates at ProdigyTeks: Ditching bundled Microsoft costs (saving thousands!), shifting from flat IG tiers to flexible Service Desk, NOC, and SOC offerings — now with built-in legal protections if clients opt out of security.
Real talk from the last 6 months managing a roll-up: Everyone faces the same resource challenges (time & money), no one's "better" — just different approaches, and how I can now offer MSPs real lifelines for scaling, exit, or legacy.
Community vibes: Hosting a local MSP lunch with JATAG Solutions (DM if interested!), plus big news on TechCon Unplugged (date/location reveal soon!).
