  • #671 Pax8 Beyond-Charlie Tomeo: 🎣 Fishing, Feedback & the Future of MSP Automation

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this laid-back yet deeply insightful conversation recorded live at Pax8 Beyond 2025, Joey Pinz sits down with Charlie Tomeo, CRO of Rewst, to talk automation, community, and catching kingfish.

    Charlie shares how his love for fishing helps him reset from the startup grind, offering a rare glimpse into the human side of high-stakes leadership. But the conversation quickly dives into strategy as he explains how Rewstempowers MSPs to automate both the obvious (onboarding, offboarding, password resets) and the often-overlooked “high-hanging fruit” — tasks MSPs haven’t automated because they’ve never done them at all.

    Rewst isn't just saving time — it’s transforming automation into a revenue source and making MSPs indispensable to their clients. Charlie explains how their open canvas approach lets both beginners and tech artists build powerful, customized workflows.

    We also dig into how leadership is evolving, especially for younger tech teams. Charlie discusses mentorship, motivation, and the value of listening — whether on a Rewst open mic call or in the field with a fishing rod.

     

    🚀 Top 3 Highlights:

    1. 🧠 Rewst's approach to automation as a sticky revenue stream for MSPs
    2. 🎣 Why fishing is the perfect metaphor for mindful leadership
    3. 🔄 Open mic culture: how Rewst helps MSPs innovate and share in real time

  • #661 Pax8 Beyond-Colin Britton: 🚦 From Formula One to Intune: Speed, Scale & Smart Tech

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this high-gear episode from Pax8 Beyond 2025, Joey Pinz speaks with Colin Britton, COO of Devicie, about everything from Formula One engineering to Microsoft Intune optimization for MSPs. Colin brings decades of experience scaling tech firms across the globe, and he breaks down how Devicie is helping MSPs finally extract full value from Microsoft 365 — especially Intune.

    Colin explains why MSPs face friction using Microsoft-native tools at scale and how Devicie’s automation layer bridges the operational gaps Microsoft leaves open. If you’re an MSP tired of jumping between tenants, manually configuring endpoints, or underutilizing Business Premium, this episode hits home.

    They also explore how AI is rapidly reshaping SMB agility, why consumption-based pricing could shake up business models, and how personal data (from Whoop bands to GitHub Copilot) is becoming a decision-making edge.

     

    🚀 Top 3 Highlights:

    1. 🧠 Devicie’s automation layer helps MSPs scale Intune across clients
    2. ⚙️ Formula One mindset: invest where it moves the needle
    3. 💡 Why SMBs are best positioned to adopt AI quickly & efficiently
