And thanks to Rich Freeman at Channelholic for covering MSP Radio’s acquisition of Small Biz Thoughts and IT Service Provider University from Karl Palachuk, in a deal disclosed on New Years Day. Link to his article in the notes.
Why do we care?
If you’re an MSP operator, this is really about clarity.
Business of Tech stays what it’s always been: your daily briefing. What’s happening in the market, what vendors are doing, and—most importantly—why it matters to you as someone running an IT services business. That doesn’t change.
Small Biz Thoughts and IT Service Provider University serve a different purpose. They’re not about headlines. They’re about the work of being an operator—comparing notes with peers, figuring out what actually works, and making better decisions inside your business.
Bringing these together under MSP Radio draws a cleaner line:
- Come to Business of Tech to stay informed.
- Go to Small Biz Thoughts when you want to collaborate, learn, and work through the real operational challenges.
For podcast listeners, your daily experience stays the same. If you’re looking to go deeper—beyond the news and into how to run the business—this just makes it easier to know where to go.
Karl will be appearing with me on the Live Show broadcast on YouTube and Linkedin at 3pm Eastern on Wednesday if you have questions, or send them in at [email protected]
