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.

In this flavorful and focused episode of Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations, Tanya Alfonso — chef-trained tech executive and cybersecurity leader at Vicarius— joins us from Pax8 Beyond 2025 to talk about precision, process, and performance in the kitchen and in business.
From her IBM days to knife skills in culinary school, Tanya shares how her love for cooking fuels her leadership style. Organization, attention to detail, and routine aren't just part of her home kitchen — they're baked into her approach to cybersecurity, MSP partnership, and life.
At Vicarius, Tanya helps Managed Service Providers streamline vulnerability remediation, not just detection. She explains how Vicarius goes beyond patching to include patchless protection and scripting — essential in a landscape where 50% of threats won’t have a patch available.
We also dive into Tanya’s take on discipline, mental focus, and personal joy. From 5:30 a.m. workouts to weekly fridge cleans, she shares how consistency fuels both her work-life balance and professional growth.

In this soul-rich episode recorded live at Pax8 Beyond 2025, Joey Pinz welcomes Darrin Swan — a cybersecurity strategist, vinyl collector, and espresso aficionado — to explore the habits and mindsets that drive both personal clarity and professional performance.
Darrin opens up about his nightly ritual of selecting vinyl records to guide his mindset the next morning, the art of mastering an Italian espresso machine, and how these moments of intentionality ripple into his leadership at Total Helps. He shares how setting the tone for the day—creatively and energetically—has shaped his approach to solving problems and leading high-performing teams.
On the business side, the conversation gets tactical as Darrin lays out the MSP challenges he’s tackling: client security, talent retention, and the need to move from reactive to proactive cybersecurity strategies. He also highlights how mid-market acceptance of MSPs is growing—and how partner trust, cultural transparency, and gamification are key to success in this next phase of growth.
It’s a unique blend of music, mindset, and cybersecurity that delivers both strategic insight and personal inspiration.

In this flavorful and thoughtful conversation from Pax8 Beyond 2025, Joey Pinz sits down with Louis Bagdonas, a leader at Moovila, to explore how cooking, culture, and clarity shape both personal growth and project management in the MSP world.
The episode opens with culinary banter — from turkey veal meatballs and single-source olive oil to Lithuanian heritage and the power of finishing what you start. But this isn’t just about recipes — it’s about how life in and out of the kitchen reveals the habits that lead to success.
Louis shares Moovila's mission to help MSPs take control of project management before things go off the rails. He breaks down how MSPs can assess their internal readiness, define what a “project” really means, and avoid letting one person carry the entire load.
The conversation shifts to family, discipline, and mindset — from Louis’s decision to quit drinking, to making space for impact and balance. Whether you’re managing projects or personal pivots, this episode is about owning your process and finding satisfaction in both the work and the results.

Recorded live at Pax8 Beyond 2025, Tom reflects on cycling for mental clarity, building trust with MSPs, and the mission behind Red Sift — a company founded by the creators of Shazam to deliver misconfiguration remediation at scale. Their platform empowers MSPs to secure the attack surface while freeing up senior engineers — all while staying invisible to the end customer.
Tom also discusses his own health and mindset journey, navigating caregiving for loved ones with POTS, and the mental reprogramming it took to prioritize self-care, sustainable work habits, and meaningful partnerships.
From stories of seismic concerts to seismic shifts in MSP cybersecurity, this episode is both vulnerable and visionary — a must-listen for anyone working to scale without burning out.

In this candid and compelling episode from Pax8 Beyond 2025, Joey Pinz sits down with Rex Frank, VP of Academy at Pax8 and founder of C-Level. From classic Mustangs to modern AI strategies, Rex shares what it really takes to lead MSPs through their next transformation.
Rex explains how agentic AI marks a turning point — as disruptive as the cloud, managed services, or the PC. He urges MSPs to stop waiting and start leading by becoming “customer zero” and mandating AI training within their orgs. But this episode isn’t just about technology. It's about structure, mindset, and motion.
Drawing on decades of coaching experience, Rex breaks down the “rule of 7,” the hidden costs of undertraining, and why scaling requires letting go of what once worked. He also shares his personal weight loss journey tied to climbing Mount Rainier — and why public goals, peer groups, and urgency drive real change.
If you’re leading an MSP and wrestling with growth, people, or purpose, this episode delivers rare insight and actionable guidance.

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.
