Community at the Core: Ken Patterson (EP 924)

Live from the energetic ASCII Cup in Philadelphia, Uncle Marv and tech community leader Ken Patterson cover what matters most to the IT channel: people, purpose, and progress. They reflect on Alan Weinberger’s legacy, the role of events in bringing MSPs together, and how shifts like COVID, cloud, and now AI continue to re-shape both operations and client expectations. Ken tells the Todyl story, emphasizing GRC and unified security, while also sharing personal advice for MSPs aiming to move from break-fix to true consultative partnership.
