[142] AI, The Future of Managed Services and Pax8 for MSPs: What You Need to Know

In this episode, Richard Tubb talks to Phylip Morgan, the Chief Revenue Officer at Pax8. A cloud marketplace, they believe that the distribution market and the whole channel is fragmented, and somebody needs to unite and bring it together.

Phylip shares his journey in the IT space, what drew him to Pax8 and how the industry has changed since he started, as well as one thing that’s stayed the same, and what’s coming next for Pax8.

Phylip explains to Richard why he thinks that data is like oil and why data sharing doesn’t affect your competitive advantage, and they also discuss what AI means for the MSP sector.

Richard also asks Phylip to explain more about Pax8: their approach to community and their workplace culture, the Pax8 Beyond conference and the future of live events. Phylip also talks about his life outside of work – being a father, grandfather and church pastor.

About the Podcast

TubbTalk: The Podcast for Managed Service Providers
Putting Managed Service Providers back in control!
Richard Tubb has been a leader and keynote speaker in the MSP community for the last two decades. At the helm of media company and MSP advisory business Tubblog, Richard loves to showcase tech companies disrupting the industry, as well as shining a light on new tools you might not be aware of.

His long-running and successful interview-style show, TubbTalk, features fireside style chats with the CEOs and CTOs of these businesses, to dig deep into how they got started in the industry, what inspired them to start something new and what their advice would be to anyone who wants to do the same.

But it's not all tech focused! As a former MSP owner himself, Richard knows that there are many facets to being a business owner, which is why his guests reflect that too.

Previous topics include mental health, sales, marketing, business growth, productivity, customer service and more. Wondering why you should listen? Well, as one fan put it: "It's like eavesdropping on a conversation between two friends, who are sharing their knowledge and wisdom with each other. You learn while you're being entertained."
