    #964 Matt Tomlinson: 🤖 AI vs. Automation: What MSPs Need to Get Right
    Oct 28 2026
    Send us Fan MailWhat happens when AI starts doing the repetitive work inside an MSP—but still cannot replace the human qualities customers sometimes need most?Matt Tomlinson, Senior Director of MSP Partnerships at Fixify, joins Joey Pinz for a wide-ranging conversation about AI, automation, sales, leadership, MSP operations, and the human side of technology.Matt has lived on both sides of the MSP/vendor relationship, and that experience shapes how he thinks about technology adoption. He argues that AI should take repetitive work off people’s plates rather than simply eliminate people. In Tier 1 support, that could give technicians more room to develop into higher-skilled roles. Matt Tomlinson-transcript Part …Matt also challenges one of technology’s most important questions: when is an automated outcome enough, and when does a customer genuinely need another human being? His answer comes back to empathy—something he believes remains part of what an MSP sells. Top 3 Highlights🤖 AI ≠ Automation: Why MSPs need to understand the difference.🧠 The human advantage: Where empathy still makes human involvement necessary.🎯 Sell outcomes, not features: Matt’s core sales philosophy is understanding what someone is actually trying to accomplish. --- Join us for enlightening discussions that spark growth and exploration.

    Oct 21 2026
    Send us Fan MailAI can suggest what a technician should investigate. But can it investigate the problem itself?At MSP Summit in Orlando, Joey Pinz sits down with Mike Casey, CRO of FlowMind, to explore AI for MSPs through a practical lens: live diagnostics, better service desk intake, and measurable operational value.Mike explains why historical documentation alone cannot tell the whole story when a customer’s Wi-Fi slows down or email starts landing in spam. He describes FlowMind’s approach to examining network, cloud, and security systems together, then returning findings to a PSA ticket while keeping a human involved in the final decision.The conversation also examines technician development, customer satisfaction, and how MSP owners can evaluate potential savings using their own operational data. Beyond technology, Mike shares lessons from team sports, his changing career expectations, and a daily routine built around exercise and putting family first.Top 3 Highlights🔍 Live diagnostics versus historical lookup: What Mike believes MSPs should ask before choosing an AI partner.👥 Helping technicians grow: How guided intake can support newer engineers and improve information gathering.📊 Measuring meaningful results: Why owners should examine time savings, ticket completion, and service capacity.#MSP #ArtificialIntelligence #ITAutomation #Leadership #ServiceDesk --- Join us for enlightening discussions that spark growth and exploration.

What happens when they ask what it actually improved?In this episode of Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations, Joey Pinz sits down with Chance Weaver, Global Vice President at Pax8, at MSP Summit in Orlando.

    #958 Kneet Nauvneet Sachdev: 🎵 How Music Helped Her Find Her Voice Again
    Oct 14 2026
    Send us Fan Mail🎵 How Music Helped Her Find Her Voice Again | Kneet | #958Kneet grew up in Bangkok surrounded by music at Sikh religious ceremonies. But singing, dancing, and expressing herself the way she wanted brought disapproval from people around her. As a teenager, she began writing and performing anyway. Years later, she came to New York hoping to build a life with more room for her voice.In this conversation with Joey Pinz, Kneet shares how music returned to her during a difficult period involving her son and the family court system. Feeling unable to tell the whole story in court, she took her producer’s suggestion to write it down. Those words became her debut single, “Rise.” She explains why hearing the song now feels different from recording it, and tells the surprising story of its one-take vocal.Kneet also talks about making music across languages, trusting her creative instincts, finding strength in spirituality, and using her platform to advocate for children and families.Three highlights:🎹 How religious music first introduced Kneet to singing.🎙️ Why she turned a painful experience into “Rise.”🤝 What she says helped most when she needed support: feeling loved and heard.#Kneet #FindingYourVoice #IndependentMusic #Songwriting #Resilience From --- Join us for enlightening discussions that spark growth and exploration.
