In this critical episode, Hosts Justin Esgar and Eric Anthony sit down with Trevor Hardy, the "Cyber Cowboy," Founder and Head Nerd of NEXTGen Tech LLC, to dive deep into a topic often overlooked in the heat of a crisis: client communication during an IT incident.
Trevor introduces his powerful concept, the "Right-of-Boom Mindset," which challenges MSPs to shift their focus from the immediate event to the recovery and resilience that follows. This episode isn't just about RTO and RPO; it's about RCE—Resilient Client Enablement. Learn why transparency and honesty are non-negotiable, and how saying "I don't know" can actually build more trust than trying to be a superhero.

Discover:
- Why setting communication expectations with your clients is the most important pre-incident tool you have.
- The difference between a reactive (Left-of-Boom) and a resilient (Right-of-Boom) business posture.
- The essential information to share—and what to absolutely withhold—when a client's business is on fire.
- How to build a trusted relationship so strong that a security incident becomes a test of resilience, not a moment of potential separation.

Don't let your technical prowess be overshadowed by poor communication. Tune in to master the art of talking to your clients when it matters most.
