## Resource

Erick and Rich discuss MSP-as-a-Service, a new outsourcing option for newcomers to managed services and existing MSPs who need more time to go all-in on building an AI practice, plus three practical steps any MSP can take to ensure they’re dedicating time to growth, margin protection, and leadership instead of fighting fires all day. Then they’re joined by ex-MSP and current thought leader Alex Stanton for an insightful conversation about what MSP rollups, cyber resilience, and AI herald for the future of managed services. And finally, one last thing: the crazy price paid at auction for a Flamin’ Hot Cheeto shaped like a Pokemon character.
