He challenges people to ask better questions, remain willing to change their minds, and think beyond memorized answers—especially as artificial intelligence becomes more influential.Reza also shares his journey from break-fix IT to managed services, the growing pressure MSP owners face from aggressive buyers, and why proactive maintenance must replace reactive problem-solving.Top Three Highlights🔐 Why compliance provides the structure behind an effective cybersecurity program 🧠 How philosophy develops critical thinking, curiosity, and better decision-making 📈 Why MSP owners are concerned about talent, growth, consolidation, and company value --- Join us for enlightening discussions that spark growth and exploration.

    Sep 23 2026
    Send us Fan MailWhat happens when clients adopt artificial intelligence faster than their technology providers can secure it?Roberto Elizondo has operated Trinet International since 1992, watching the technology industry evolve from hand-built computers and break-fix support to managed services, cybersecurity, and AI. In this conversation with Joey Pinz, Roberto shares the decisions, missed opportunities, and hard-earned lessons that shaped more than three decades as an MSP owner.Roberto explains why he hesitated to adopt recurring revenue—even when he had managed-service contracts drafted in the 1990s—and what finally made the model click. He also reveals why he once considered marketing a waste of money and how aging clients forced him to reconsider business growth and continuity.The conversation turns to one of today’s biggest MSP challenges: clients installing AI tools, entering private company information, and trusting answers without asking the right questions. Roberto discusses the responsibility MSPs face when customers demand innovation without fully understanding the risks.Top three highlights🤖 Why uncontrolled AI adoption has become Roberto’s biggest client-security concern🔄 How an Ingram Micro Cloud Summit changed his view of recurring revenue📣 Why losing and aging clients completely changed his opinion of marketing#MSP #ArtificialIntelligence #Cybersecurity #ManagedServices #Entrepreneurship #BusinessGrowth #JoeyPinzPodcast --- Join us for enlightening discussions that spark growth and exploration.

    #932 Andrea Waltz: 🚫 How Hearing More No’s Leads to Greater Success
    Sep 16 2026
    Send us Fan MailWhat if the fastest route to success begins with hearing “no” more often?Andrea Waltz, co-creator of the bestselling Go for No! philosophy, joins Joey Pinz to explain why rejection is not a verdict—it is information. Andrea shares how a district manager’s unexpected advice to her husband, Richard Fenton, inspired a book that took ten years to reach number one and eventually sold more than 500,000 copies.The conversation explores why people are biologically wired to fear rejection, how past experiences shape our response to it, and the opportunities we lose when we avoid asking. Andrea also distinguishes courageous persistence from aggressive behavior: “No” is a perfectly acceptable answer, but curiosity and respectful communication can reveal whether it means “not now,” “not this way,” or “never.”Andrea recounts how a last-minute rejection from a major publisher forced her and Richard to become better marketers, improve their book, and build a more successful publishing business. She also explains why failure should produce learning, how AI has changed the balance between outreach quantity and quality, and why action cannot depend on mood.🔑 Top three highlights🚫 Rejection is data: A no can expose an objection, improve an offer, or redirect you toward a better opportunity. 📚 The rejection that changed everything: Losing a traditional publishing deal helped Go for No! become more successful. 🎯 Action before emotion: Habits and visible cues make it easier to do what matters—even when you do not feel like doing it. --- Join us for enlightening discussions that spark growth and exploration.

    #933 ChannelCon 2026: Jennifer Anaya - 💡 Stop Selling Technology—Start Selling Business Value
    Sep 23 2026
    Send us Fan MailTechnology companies often talk about products, features, and capabilities when customers simply want to know one thing: “How will this help my business?”In this episode of Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations, Jennifer Baier Anaya, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing at Ingram Micro, explains why MSPs must move beyond product-centered messaging and start communicating measurable business value.Jennifer shares what MSPs should ask when choosing a distribution partner, why repeating the same growth playbook will not produce different results, and how distributors can help partners make better use of their money, people, and technology.She also offers a wonderfully clear distinction between marketing and sales: marketing gives customers a reason to come to the table, while sales gives them a reason to close the deal. The conversation expands into leadership, vulnerability, coaching, peer groups, AI experimentation, and the importance of making every employee responsible for the customer experience.Jennifer also discusses growing up around two entrepreneurs, becoming an Ingram Micro “boomerang,” supporting Girls Inc. of Orange County, and why consistency gives creative people the structure required to make meaningful progress.Top Three Highlights💼 Why MSPs should sell business outcomes instead of technical features🤝 How marketing and sales can work together without duplicating roles🌱 Why vulnerable leaders, peer groups, and coaches accelerate growth#MSP #Leadership #ChannelMarketing #BusinessGrowth #IngramMicro #TechnologyChannel #JoeyPinzPodcast --- Join us for enlightening discussions that spark growth and exploration.

    #931 Alane Boyd: 🚫 Stop Being Your Own First No
    Sep 16 2026
    Send us Fan MailWhat happens when the freedom you worked years to achieve leaves you feeling lost?Alane Boyd helped grow a business from a few hundred thousand dollars to $17 million in revenue before completing two successful exits. Yet after spending 11 years building the company, the sale brought an unexpected mix of isolation, depression, chronic stress, and identity loss.In this candid conversation with Joey Pinz, Alane explains why founders must prepare emotionally for an exit—not simply financially. She shares how an autoimmune diagnosis finally gave her the courage to leave a company that had become inseparable from her identity.Alane also reveals why businesses lose money when they hire people without first creating repeatable processes. Adding AI to that confusion only makes the existing problems move faster. Her advice is simple: fix the workflow first, establish a standard process, and then use automation to scale it.The conversation explores entrepreneurship, delegation, failure, peer groups, emotional intelligence, founder confidence, and Alane’s realization that she had been rejecting herself before anyone else had the opportunity.🔑 Top three highlights💔 Why an eight-figure exit produced loss and depression instead of immediate freedom 🤖 How AI magnifies broken workflows—and what businesses must fix first 🚫 Why founders should never become the first person to reject their own ideas --- Join us for enlightening discussions that spark growth and exploration.

    #929 Alex Stanton: 🤖 The AI Era Needs Thinkers, Not Workers
    Sep 16 2026
    Send us Fan MailAlex Stanton started building websites on dial-up internet in rural Idaho, founded Exbabylon at 14, and helped develop cybersecurity products before cybersecurity SaaS was an established category. That unconventional beginning eventually led him to build an MSP and MSSP, join a national private-equity-backed platform, and oversee technology serving thousands of businesses.In this conversation with Joey Pinz, Alex explains why successful AI transformation must remain centered on people. He shares the meaning behind his HUMAN > TECH philosophy, why most organizations are still experimenting with artificial intelligence, and how AI could help curious humans solve problems once considered impossible.Alex also explores founder conviction, the courage to pivot, transparent leadership, “blamestorming,” and why leaders should build people—not merely companies. He challenges the cultural belief that everyone should become an entrepreneur and argues that education should develop thinkers and leaders rather than compliant workers.Top Three Highlights🤖 Why the future of AI depends on human judgment, curiosity, and responsibility 🚀 How a teenage developer accidentally built an MSP and MSSP 🧠 Why leaders should share the vision and leave people better than they found them --- Join us for enlightening discussions that spark growth and exploration.

Do you have too much or too little? Every profession, hobby, or passion requires a level of discipline. I have used it in weight loss (+130 lbs.), family death, and found a +25 year business. Am I an expert? Absolutely not! Please join me, as I speak to interesting people and find out how discipline affects their career, life, goals, and decisions.
