  • #660 Pax8 Beyond-Kim Simmonds: 🎨 Creativity Meets Contracts: Where Art, Law & Tech Collide

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this deeply reflective episode recorded at Pax8 Beyond 2025, Joey Pinz chats with legal-tech leader, artist, and founder of Cloud Contracts 365, Kim Simmonds. From songwriting at the piano to transforming legal AI for MSPs, Kim opens up about the intersections of creativity, leadership, and transformation.

    The conversation begins in melody and moves into mission — how Kim’s self-taught songwriting parallels her bold move to launch an AI-powered legal tool designed just for MSPs. She shares her views on the ethical risks of careless AI use (including lawyers being debarred for citing fake case law), and how her platform avoids hallucinations by not relying on LLMs.

    They explore differences between US and UK work culture, the undervaluation of MSP services in England, and why shifting from revenue-chasing to meaningful service is the ultimate mindset upgrade.

     

    🚀 Top 3 Highlights:

    1. 🎹 Kim’s emotional songwriting process and artistic reinvention
    2. 📄 Cloud Contracts 365 — AI-powered legal tech for MSPs, built with safety in mind
    3. 💡 The mindset shift from “exit thinking” to authentic service & joy

  • #659 Pax8 Beyond-Shlomi Gian: ✉️ Smarter Email Security for MSPs: The Block & Coach Revolution

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode recorded live at Pax8 Beyond 2025, Joey Pinz speaks with Shlomi Gian, a tech veteran driving the next chapter of email security with Inky. From anti-phishing to international expansion, Shlomi offers candid insight into how Inky is reshaping the MSP channel with a channel-only model and a coaching-first security approach.

    We cover Inky’s evolution from an enterprise solution to a platform built exclusively for MSPs, leveraging AI, QR-code detection, and banner-based user feedback to block threats and educate users in real-time. Shlomi unpacks the “block and coach” model, Inky’s proprietary LLM deployment, and why they run GenAI in-house for both privacy and cost control.

    He also shares his view on pricing transparency, vendor consolidation, and why MSPs should stop buying “50-cent security.” It’s a conversation packed with real value for tech leaders navigating modern threats.

     

    🚀 Top 3 Highlights

    1. 🧠 How Inky’s AI flags and explains suspicious emails in real time
    2. 💡 Why MSPs must ask vendors about QR codes, banners, and actual AI proof
    3. 🌍 Inky’s expansion into Canada, Australia & Pax8 Marketplace — and what’s next
