Listen to "All Things MSP" on Your IT Podcasts!
[00:00:15] Today's episode is something special for Christmas Eve. Make sure you stay tuned for a very special rendition of the 12 Days of Christmas featuring our very own podcast host, Justin Esgar. Speaking of Justin, I want to thank him for being the thorn in my side that got me to finally launch the podcast.
[00:00:35] I know that it's been a while, we're 92 episodes in, but I really need to thank him because without Justin, this podcast would probably still be just an idea on my to-do list.
[00:00:48] Now, in addition to that, I also need to thank our sponsors. Without our sponsors, All Things MSP would pretty much just be an expensive hobby.
[00:00:57] I say that because I would still do it even if we didn't have sponsors. There's something special about the MSP channel that I want everyone to recognize.
[00:01:08] And that's one of the things that we really try to talk about here on All Things MSP is what makes the MSP channel weird, sometimes is what we call it.
[00:01:20] It is different. It is special. And that's why we're all here.
[00:01:24] Lastly, I want to thank you, the MSP community. There are lots of other communities out there and we love them all, but we are especially grateful that you choose to spend time with us.
[00:01:36] Now, before we bring up Justin and his very special song, I want to give a shout out to all of our sponsors very quickly.
[00:01:44] And a special thanks to our elite sponsor, CoreView, for managing your 365 tents.
[00:01:49] Also, our premier sponsors, SuperOps, an AI-based tool for RMM and PSA.
[00:01:55] Easy DMARC, the easiest way to manage DMARC.
[00:02:00] GoZinta, a lot of great products in GoZinta and their new GoZinta Research Institute. Check it out.
[00:02:07] And MoveBot, probably the easiest way to migrate data, not just files, but also emails and calendars as well.
[00:02:15] Shout out to our sponsors, Compliance Scorecard, Griffin IT, and Produce8.

[00:06:02] Until then, please spend these last moments of 2024 reflecting on the year, spending time with family and friends, and recharging.
