Today’s headline news for Canadian IT solution providers: Fleet launches inaugural partner program: Open-source device management vendor Fleet has announced its first partner program, officially moving to a 100 percent channel sales model. According to CEO Mike McNeil, every deal will now flow through a partner. The program includes reseller and services tracks, focusing on enabling partners to build recurring revenue around Fleet’s multi-OS platform. For Canadian MSPs, the move presents an opportunity to consolidate device management across Windows, Apple, and Linux environments. Scale Computing introduces Velocity Partner Program: Edge computing and virtualization provider Scale Computing has launched a competency-based Velocity Partner Program. The new model ties advancement to verified capabilities rather than sales volume, aiming to reduce operational friction and accelerate quote-to-close cycles. The company is positioning the program as a way for partners to increase autonomy and capture more professional services revenue. N-able CEO urges measured AI approach: N-able CEO John Pagliuca is advising MSPs to focus on internal efficiency before rushing to monetize artificial intelligence. Pagliuca outlined a three-step journey: efficiency first, safe deployment next, and monetization last. He noted that the revenue opportunity will come from helping SMBs implement AI securely, but MSPs must first master their own data governance and automation. Read Full Transcript Welcome to The Buzz from ChannelBuzz.ca, our brand spanking new daily podcast, giving you the latest headlines for the IT channel community every morning in five minutes or less. I’m Robert Dutt, today is Monday, April 20, 2026, and here’s what’s happening in the channel today. Fleet, the open-source device management platform, has officially launched its inaugural partner program, signaling a hard pivot to a 100 percent channel sales model. Founded in 2020 and born out of an open-source project at Facebook, Fleet’s technology enables organizations to manage and secure IT assets across MacOS, Windows, Linux, Android, and ChromeOS. According to CEO Mike McNeil, every sales deal will now flow exclusively through a partner. The new program features two distinct tracks: a reseller track for co-selling, and a services track geared specifically toward partners looking to build recurring revenue streams through implementation and managed services. For Canadian MSPs managing increasingly complex, mixed-device environments, Fleet offers an infrastructure-as-code approach to endpoint management that can help consolidate tool sprawl. The company is actively recruiting new partners and is reportedly offering financial incentives, including enhanced margins and deal protection, for solution providers who migrate customers away from established competitors like Jamf or Microsoft Intune. Edge computing and virtualization vendor Scale Computing has unveiled its new Velocity Partner Program, shifting decisively away from traditional volume-based tiers to a fully competency-based model. The company says this new structure is engineered to help partners navigate the evolving virtualization market by reducing operational friction and increasing partner autonomy. According to Scale Computing, advancement in the Velocity program is now tied strictly to verified capabilities, ensuring that technical expertise—rather than raw sales volume—drives partner economics. The framework is designed to accelerate quote-to-close cycles and reduce dependency on vendor resources. For Canadian solution providers, this represents a faster path to revenue and far better margin predictability, especially for regional partners who might be penalized by strict volume quotas. The program also focuses heavily on enabling partners to capture more of the total value of each opportunity, specifically by driving professional services revenue around deployments of the company’s SC Platform and edge orchestration solutions. N-able CEO John Pagliuca is advising the channel to take a highly measured approach to the artificial intelligence boom. In a recent interview, Pagliuca outlined a specific three-step journey for MSP AI adoption: efficiency first, safe deployment next, and monetization last. He noted that while the broader industry is rushing toward AI-driven revenue streams, MSPs must first focus on internal productivity gains and establishing data governance. According to N-able, the monetization opportunity will materialize as small and medium-sized businesses seek third-party help to navigate their own AI implementations and security challenges. For Canadian MSPs, this serves as a pragmatic reminder to prioritize internal automation and secure operational foundations before packaging artificial intelligence as a billable service. It echoes broader industry research suggesting that data governance remains a significant hurdle to AI adoption, reinforcing the need for partners to establish internal standards first. Later today on In The Channel, I sit down with OutSystems channel chief Benjamin Yerushalmi to talk about defining the channel for three different technology waves over the years, and why AI is moving more partner revenue opportunities earlier in engagements. And if you haven’t heard it yet, check out our chat with Alex Webb and Leanne Yeatman of F12.net on what they’ve learned from 20 years and 15-plus acquisitions, which dropped on Friday. That’s how we’re seeing the headlines today. I’m Robert Dutt for ChannelBuzz.ca, thanks for listening. Have a great day.

Alex Webb, CEO of F12.net and Leanne Yeatman, chief of staff at F12.net F12.net has completed more than 15 acquisitions since founder and CEO Alex Webb and Chief of Staff Leanne Yeatman made their first deal in 2006. What started as a circumstantial opportunity evolved into a deliberate growth strategy that has taken the company from its Alberta roots to a national MSP with offices across Canada and over 500 employees. In this conversation, Webb and Yeatman open up about how they evaluate potential acquisitions – and why the criteria that matter most aren’t the ones on their website. Culture, resilience, and how distributed the workload is across the team all weigh more heavily than the financial table stakes. They also share hard-won lessons on integration, including why they stopped calling deals “mergers” and why leadership can’t outsource the transition work. The conversation takes a turn when Webb discusses F12’s recent private equity transition from Clairvest to Audax, putting him on the other side of the due diligence process he’s put sellers through for years. “Gives me a lot of empathy for what we put our sellers through,” he says. For MSP owners considering a sale, there’s practical advice throughout – from cleaning up your P&L and building leadership depth to understanding why recurring professional services isn’t managed services, and how that distinction affects your valuation when it surfaces in due diligence. Webb and Yeatman also weigh in on the AMTRA Solutions acquisition, a capability play that signals a shift in what acquirers are looking for beyond geographic expansion. Read Full Transcript Robert Dutt:  Hello and welcome to In the Channel from ChannelBuzz.ca, bringing news and information to the Canadian IT channel community for the last 16 years. I’m Robert Dutt, editor of ChannelBuzz.ca, and your host for the show. If you go to F12.net right now — one of Canada’s largest managed service providers — you’ll find something you don’t see on most MSP websites. A page that says “Looking to sell? Let’s talk!” And it’s not vague. It lists exactly what they’re looking for and exactly what a seller gets. That kind of openness tells you something. It tells you that for F12, M&A isn’t opportunistic. It’s a core part of how they’ve grown from an Alberta basement operation in 1994 to a national MSP with over 500 employees and more than 15 acquisitions under their belt. My guests today are Alex Webb, founder and CEO of F12.net, and Leanne Yeatman, Chief of Staff, who’s been deeply involved in the company’s acquisition strategy and adds some valuable perspective throughout our conversation. We cover the full picture here — how F12 decides what to buy and what to walk away from, what integration actually looks like after the deal closes, and what MSP owners on the other side of the table need to know if they’re thinking about selling someday. Alex also shares what it was like to recently go through a recapitalization of his own company, putting him on both sides of the M&A equation. Let’s get right into it. My chat with Alex Webb and Leanne Yeatman. Robert Dutt:  Alex, Leanne, thanks for joining us. Alex Webb: Thanks. Leanne Yeatman: Thank you for having us. Robert Dutt:  Not every MSP has a “looking to sell” page on their website — much less one that is as prescriptive as listing what you’re looking for and what a potential seller gets. Pretty deliberate signal. When did M&A go from something that happened at F12 — an opportunity that came along — to something that became a core part of how you grow and something that you approach intentionally? Alex Webb: Going back to the memory here — I would say that transition happened right around 2015. Prior to that, we did two acquisitions and they were more circumstantial, opportunistic, presented themselves more than us actually going out and seeking them out. But that shifted when we wanted to expand into a new region that we targeted. That region was Ontario. We were Alberta-based in 2014 and we had a plan to expand into two more provinces — Ontario being first, then BC being second. So I would say that was the date. Robert Dutt:  Your first acquisition was CPU Technologies, way back in 2006 — 20 years ago. What was that experience like, and how much of what you do now was shaped by what you learned, for the good and the bad, doing it for the first time? Alex Webb: I’ll actually let Leanne go first. She played a big role in that acquisition. Leanne Yeatman: Going back a long time in history — that was our first transaction. It was different in the sense that we had some outside influence. One of our partners at the time, Wayne Scrivens, played a big role in coaching and teaching us what to look for and how to go through that process. I would say it was foundational in that it sparked this desire to do it more and to recognize that this can be a huge part of our growth story. It’s not the only piece of the journey, of course, but it definitely was a foundational moment for us. And while no two transactions are the same, there are obviously similarities. The more you do it, the more you look back and remember the specific things that went well and the things that maybe didn’t go so well — that you would do differently if given another shot. I remember the details very clearly still to this day. What we learned in that early phase of the CPU acquisition was that when you don’t have the relationships, it’s very hard to convert clients, because they don’t trust you, they don’t know you, they don’t believe you. You have to work really hard to build that trust. That was the biggest education we had: that integration and converting clients was going to be way harder than we thought. Robert Dutt:  Obviously it didn’t scare you off, because you’ve done 15 or so acquisitions over those last 20 years. Is there a rhythm to it? Is it a “you’re always looking” kind of thing, or do you find it comes in waves? Alex Webb: I would say waves. We found it a little easier to have a few acquisitions brought in and do that integration work together, because you’re usually assembling teams, and it tends to work a little better than fully integrating one and then starting another. You can do a lot of things in tandem, because you’re generally ripping and tearing not only at their systems but at your own — learning as you go all of the inadequacies in your own systems that need to be redeveloped. That work has to happen while you’re doing integration. So we just found it a little easier to do them in waves. Robert Dutt:  The technology tradition of batching — it kind of makes sense from that regard too. Your website lists the criteria you look for: north of $5 million in revenue, low churn, a majority of managed services, healthy EBITDA. Those are the table stakes. What’s the stuff that’s not on the website? What makes you lean in on a company that maybe looks more marginal on paper but gives you a good vibe — or conversely, walk away from one that checks all the boxes but just leaves you with a “no” feeling? Alex Webb: Culture plays a big role. The depth in the organization — how distributed is the effort? Does it all sit on one or two people? Or, even if they’re smaller, have they found ways to distribute the workload across the team? The test of resiliency in the organization matters too. Sometimes longevity brings a certain amount of resilience to a team and a culture. Sometimes experience doing their own expansions or acquisitions brings some of that. That’s important, because when you go through integration, things change — and not just for one entity. A wise person in the industry once explained it to us as: there are two cultures, and both cultures change and become one going forward. The pressure integration puts on both teams is significant. So you really want to look for a team that’s going to be able to weather that storm — one that has a good amount of trust built up with their leadership and with each other. Robert Dutt:  How much of the decision comes down to the owner? Their personality, their readiness to move, what they want their life to look like after the acquisition? Alex Webb: That’s a big one. The motivation for why they want to do it is a key ingredient. We try to get to that early, because in M&A, some owners might feel like they can get a little more value out of the business if they portray that they’re staying — but it’s actually traumatic on the business when the alignment is wrong. So we work really hard up front to figure out what’s actually going on. And it’s okay if you want to transition out, or if you want to stay and we work a role around you. Those are very important ingredients for a successful integration outcome. Sometimes there’s indecision — do I want to be part of it or do I want to leave? We just help them with that. We make it okay either way. F12 is a good home for their people and their clients, so they don’t have to worry about that part. We can concentrate our efforts on the outcome the owner actually wants. Robert Dutt:  To Leanne’s point about two cultures becoming one — you close the deal, it’s Monday morning. I presume champagne pops, but that’s just my vision of how these things work. What does that first week actually look like for the employees and the clients of the company you just acquired? Alex Webb: If you’ve done it right, it doesn’t feel any different. I know that’s a bizarre answer, but I think that’s what people build up in their minds — that day one, a bunch of things are going to change. Balloons and fanfare. And really you just wake up Monday morning and, you know what, we need to collect some money, answer the phone, go to the client site. All of the things just keep happening. The only difference is generally that there’s a little more money in your bank account than there was the day before — and that’s significantly the only difference. That’s a bit of an out-of-body experience for most owners who’ve never done it. The real work starts more like two or three weeks in. You want things to be business-as-usual for a beat, and then you’re working through the integration plan and executing against it. But that doesn’t happen on Monday morning. Robert Dutt:  After 15 or more acquisitions, what have you learned about that integration process? How does the playbook look different now than it did for deal three or four — once you’d realized you were going to do this more than once, but before it had become the muscle memory it is today? Alex Webb: I can say for sure what we don’t do: don’t call it a merger anymore. That’s the tendency with people who are new to it — “we’re merging, we’re going to take the best of both businesses.” That communication is false, because inevitably an acquisition is going to become one entity, and you’re not going to change the processes of the mothership too quickly. You might learn some things and adapt, but you’re not going to adopt their RMM tool or their PSA tool — not likely, because you’ve done so much work building your own. On the communication side, we’re very clear on that now. I think we presented it more like a merger in those earlier days, and it didn’t create a better outcome. The better outcome comes when it’s highly communicative all the way through the process, so people know what’s going on and can plan accordingly. Leanne Yeatman: I’d add two things. One — you can’t outsource the integration work. You can use outside parties to support it, but the leadership team needs to be present and own those pieces of integration very intently. And two — really understand the essence of the business: the things that make the culture what it is, the things that drive people’s loyalty and love for that entity. Make sure you foster those things and allow them to continue. Robert Dutt:  What does that transition look like? When you acquire a company, they have their own name, their own culture, their own way of doing things. How do you handle that — it doesn’t sound like it’s “welcome to F12” from day one? Alex Webb: It starts with core systems — getting the tools in place so that we have shared visibility into how the business is performing. That’s the first wave. What we’ve discovered from a culture perspective is that you can still have your identity as a region, as a location. Just because the logo is different, that doesn’t need to change how you do things. You can still have that Friday lunch if that’s what you did. You can still have the barbecues. You could still race RC cars in the parking lot. We don’t need to have a brand above the door to enable those things — but it’s bizarre how people interpret that they’re suddenly not allowed to do them anymore. So for us, it’s about being, as Leanne said, very intentional — making sure people continue doing the things that kept that culture alive. Then when the logo changes over, it shouldn’t feel that different other than it’s a different brand. And now there’s marketing support, sales support, and a lot of things that help that business that they didn’t have before. If you’ve done it right, you’ve added capabilities, expanded the offerings, and people can be more successful and feel more security about their future. That’s the magic. When that occurs, retention stays high — for both clients and team members. Robert Dutt:  You mentioned that you initially started doing acquisitions to expand geographically, and a lot of your acquisitions have looked like that going across Canada. AMTRA Solutions last year looks a little different, though — that’s a capability play, adding Microsoft Cloud and AI Copilot expertise. Is what you’re looking for in an acquisition changing? Alex Webb: It certainly is — or, maybe I should rephrase: it’s not so much changing as expanding. We’re still doing what we did on the geographic side, but we’re now adding strategic capabilities as an additional objective. For us, it’s either build it or buy it, and if it makes sense to buy it and bring that capability in, we will. AMTRA really presented a very unique opportunity. In full transparency — when clients get larger, into that upper mid-market range of roughly 350 to 500 seats, their IT needs shift from what a traditional managed service provider does. We handle level one, level two, level three help desk, patch management, backup, infrastructure management — all of those things. But as those organizations get a little larger, the needs change. They want to bring in more advanced Microsoft capabilities, and we would either lose those clients to larger enterprise providers, or bring those capabilities in-house. AMTRA presented that opportunity. It’s been incredibly successful, and we’ve been able to bring those technologies to our upper-end clients in a way that’s really working. Robert Dutt:  Without tipping your hand on anything specific — where are the gaps? Is the next chapter more geography, more capability, or are you looking at different frontiers altogether? Alex Webb: For us, the primary frontier is still geographic expansion — into Central Canada and Eastern Canada. That’s still on the to-do list. We also have our eye on more advanced security capabilities, because that’s forever changing and moving more toward the AI front. And we’re not ruling out ERP — the things I like to see are capabilities that all of our clients could utilize and benefit from. When we look at ERP applications, Dynamics 365, these are technologies that the broader client base can use and benefit from, having a mid-market provider able to bring them to market at scale. And we’re not ruling out going south of the border either. We already have clients in the U.S., and we’re starting to see opportunities in states just adjacent to Canada. Robert Dutt:  In December, Clairvest exited and Audax came in. You’ve spent 20 years as the buyer. What was it like to be on the other side of that process — having someone evaluate your company the way you evaluate the companies you acquire? Alex Webb: It gives me a lot of empathy for what we put our sellers through. How’s that for an answer? It’s tiring. It was a tiring process. It’s enjoyable on a lot of fronts, and incredibly rewarding when it’s done. But the six to eight months leading up to it — that was a ton of work for the organization. We had some really good support from our banking partners, from Clairvest, and the Audax team were terrific to work with. But even with all that, a lot of work and a lot of sleepless nights. That wasn’t our first experience on that side of the table, though. That was our third private equity transaction. We’ve been through it a few times — just enough to stay in tune with what it actually feels like. Robert Dutt:  You’ve got the muscle memory built on both sides of the equation — that’s an interesting place to be. You mentioned how it gave you empathy for what sellers go through. Did going through it change anything about how you think about and deal with the sellers you work with? Or did it confirm what you already believed, having lived as an MSP in this industry? Alex Webb: I think it did both. It confirmed some things, and I think we approach the process with a little more maturity now — on how we handle due diligence, data collection, and integration strategy — because every time you go through it from the other side, you learn a little more. And even when we’re not going through a full business integration, we’re still integrating at a board level, reporting to different people, going through change when you move from one private equity partner to another. I think that leveled us up a little bit and is making us stronger on the buyer side — helping sellers through the process with a little more elegance. Robert Dutt:  A lot of MSP owners hear “private equity” and get nervous. They picture cost-cutting and layoffs. From your point of view — having been through it a few times now — what actually changes when you have an institutional capital partner? Does it speed up acquisitions? Redirect them? Put guardrails on them? Alex Webb: Every private equity firm has their own view of what a good target looks like. So for any listeners thinking about private equity, it’s really critical that you align on strategy upfront. That becomes part of the conversation — what’s the tolerance, how does this look, who’s driving the acquisitions? These are important questions. Generally speaking, the private equity partners we’ve worked with liked that we had M&A capability and could hit the ground running. But the types of businesses and the size of acquisitions does change as you grow and move from one partner to the next. As your business gets larger, you can take on larger transactions. Leanne Yeatman: I’d add — knowing what you want to get out of the relationship and how you intend to continue operating the business with that new partner is critical. What we would do leading up to any transaction is decide on the top three things we were looking for in a new partner and what our vision for the organization was for the next five years — then stay focused on that through the process, to make sure you’re finding the partner that’s going to help you execute that vision. When done well, it should be a true partnership. It comes down to alignment. Robert Dutt:  You’ve sat across the table from a lot of MSP owners who want to sell. What’s the most common disconnect between what they think their company is worth and what the market says it’s worth? Alex Webb: I would answer that with their understanding of what should be normalized in the business and what shouldn’t — as it relates to EBITDA. The multiples vary a little, but M&A is generally a multiple of EBITDA. So what is that EBITDA, and what’s normalized? The biggest disconnect usually comes from owners running what you might call a lifestyle business — where a lot of their personal world is woven into the business finances. When it comes to doing a transaction, it’s very tricky to determine what’s truly in the business and what isn’t, and to convince the accountants, bankers, and funders of what the real number is. Owners who operate with a clean separation — who take a dividend and keep their personal world out of the business P&L — those are by far the easiest transactions, and you might even pay a little more for a company that runs a pure P&L. That’s one of those intrinsic things we look for. Robert Dutt:  In your experience, how many owners who say they want to sell are actually ready to sell? And what does “not ready” look like when you’re sitting across the table? Alex Webb: Tough to quantify, but I’d say it’s usually not a matter of “no” — it’s “not right now.” Either they’re ready and it makes sense, or they just need another year or two to readjust and get things to where they need to be. Everybody has a number in their mind: “If I could get this number for my business, I would sell it.” But nobody wants to reveal that number, because maybe they’d get more. The reality is, people who know their number and understand the mechanics of what it’s going to take to get there tend to have more success. Maybe they’re there now, or maybe they can get there in six months. But that’s the financial side. The mental side is probably trickier. Am I ready to let go? Am I ready to report into an entity? Am I ready to walk off into the sunset? Because sometimes the motivation for doing the transaction is fear — fear of industry change, all of the AI coming, feeling like you’re not ready to compete. That can be traumatic for an owner, because they’re doing it from a position of fear rather than from a position of opportunity for themselves and for their family. Robert Dutt:  There’s a whole generation of MSP founders who started their businesses in the nineties and early 2000s who are approaching retirement. Is that creating a wave? And if so, does that make it a buyer’s market? Alex Webb: I would still say it’s a seller’s market. The multiples are still high, there’s still lots of opportunity, and the industry loves businesses focused on recurring revenue with multi-year contracts — there’s real value in those businesses. As for the retiring founders — I’d say we’re just at the beginning of that wave. I haven’t seen a meaningful change in M&A deal flow as a result of it yet. But I believe we’re at the beginning, as some of these groups hit their late fifties and early sixties and start thinking about succession. In fact, I just had one of those conversations recently. Robert Dutt:  If I’m an MSP owner three to five years away from wanting to sell, what should I be doing right now to put myself in the best position — not just financially, but operationally and personally? Alex Webb: I’ll let Leanne start with this one. Leanne Yeatman: Build depth in the organization — have multiple leaders present and capable of guiding the rest of the organization through that change. On the normalization side, be clear on what’s acceptable going forward: anything personal that’s wrapped up in the business should start coming out. And third — focus on organic growth. Being able to demonstrate that the business is actively growing and has the ability to keep moving forward. Those three would be my top priorities. Alex Webb: I would add — bring your management team into the conversation when you’re ready to start thinking about a sale. It’s a tough situation when an owner goes through the LOI and due diligence process and then reveals it to the team at the very end. Everybody feels like, “why didn’t you trust me with this earlier?” Bringing them into the dialogue — saying “here’s what I’m thinking about” — you get their input, you get buy-in, you work it together. We do that even when we’re going into a transaction ourselves. When we were going through the Clairvest to Audax transition, we didn’t do it as a cloak-and-dagger move. It was intentional. And I think when it’s done that way, the outcome is even better. Leanne Yeatman: Exactly. The length of the process — if you’ve been in that seat for six or eight months going through due diligence, you’ve already had the time to mentally transition yourself to what’s next. But everybody else at close is just finding out. The more people who are part of that journey earlier, the easier that first week and beyond is. Robert Dutt:  My last question — if you could sit down with every MSP owner in Canada at one big table and tell them one thing about M&A that they probably don’t want to hear, what is it? Alex Webb: That recurring contract revenue needs to actually be in managed services. Meaning: you’re getting compensated on a contract whether you put a person out there or not. Recurring professional services — that isn’t managed services. This comes out in due diligence. People take that bucket of revenue and pile it in, trying to present it as managed services. But it gets found out and the deal gets discounted. So: be really clear about your lines of business. What’s product, what’s professional services, what’s managed services. You can have recurring professional services, and if it’s contractual, you’ll get a little more for it. But if you have true managed services, isolate it — because it won’t have the same revenue volatility, and you’ll get better rewarded for it. And if you want to improve your position, convert that recurring professional services to recurring managed services. It’s a lot of work, but we’ve successfully done that through integration for years. People are afraid to have those conversations — it goes back to the old time-and-materials, block-time days. That was the first wave. But when you look at block time and ask “why does this revenue move up and down?” — well, that’s because it’s getting classified as managed services when it isn’t. To hammer again on normalizations: less normalizations will actually benefit you more. Robert Dutt:  Great insights, and I appreciate you sharing what you’ve learned through 20 years of acquisitions. Good luck on the next 15. Alex Webb: Thank you very much. Leanne Yeatman: Get it. Robert Dutt:  There you have it — Alex Webb and Leanne Yeatman from F12.net. I’d like to thank Alex and Leanne for their time and for their candor. These aren’t always easy conversations to have publicly, and they were both remarkably open about what they’ve learned across 15-plus acquisitions and 30 years of building the company. A few things that stuck with me from this conversation. First, the shift from opportunistic to intentional. 2015 was the year that F12 decided M&A wasn’t just something that happened when a deal fell into their lap, but a deliberate growth strategy. That distinction matters, because it changes everything about how you prepare, how you evaluate, and how you integrate. Second, the culture point. Alex and Leanne both kept coming back to the idea that the numbers can look perfect and you still walk away if the culture isn’t right. And on the flip side, integration isn’t about slapping your logo on the door — it’s about two cultures becoming one new thing. “You don’t need a brand above the door to race RC cars in the parking lot,” as Alex put it. And third — and this is the one I think every MSP owner listening needs to sit with — Alex’s closer about recurring professional services versus managed services. If your recurring revenue is really just project work on a retainer, that gets found out in due diligence and your deal gets discounted. That’s specific, actionable, and probably uncomfortable for more than a few people listening. If you found this episode valuable, I’d appreciate it if you’d follow or subscribe to the show.

Leading with resilience with Skye Deane and Alex Webb, is an inspirational episode of the Business Awards Show as we're joined by two powerhouse women. Skye and Alex are co-founders of the award winning Resilient Women Leaders, who took home a Silver award for Best Business at the 2025 Best Businesswomen Awards. Their journeys could not be more different. Skye brings eighteen years of experience as a British Army officer and clinical physiotherapist, including deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, while Alex has a brilliantly 'squiggly' career spanning teaching, sports TV, events and entrepreneurship. Together they make quite the team. In this episode they explore what resilience really means (and no, it is not just bouncing back). We reveal how to recognise where you are on the pressure to stress spectrum before you tip into burnout. And vitally, why asking for help is a superpower rather than a weakness. There is also a brilliant conversation about the value of business awards, the magic that happens when you sit with strangers at an awards dinner, and the credibility they confer. Our guests also explain why consistency and knowing when to step up or step back are the foundations of a great working partnership.

Born in Indiana and raised in Wisconsin, Joe is a son of the American heartland. As a child, he wasn't pointing a camera or standing in front of one; he was the blabber-mouth recruiting neighborhood talent to help tell his stories. Not much has changed since then. "When I was six, I destroyed my grandfather's brand new Hi8 camcorder by blasting him in the face with a super soaker. This work is my atonement." Matt Hoodhood was born and raised in Grand Rapids, MI where his fascination with light began. He studied Cinematography at Columbia College Chicago and has been living in Los Angeles since 2014 where he enjoys the great outdoors, playing folk music on the banjo, and photography (Todd Hido, Alex Webb, and Diane Arbus are some of his favorites). Erin Kobrin is a Los Angeles-based wardrobe stylist and costume designer known for crafting distinctive looks across fashion campaigns, editorials, music projects, and narrative storytelling. Drawing inspiration from the visionary artistry of Colleen Atwood and the rebellious elegance of Vivienne Westwood, Erin brings a bold and imaginative perspective to every project. Her work seamlessly blends creativity and precision, delivering unforgettable style that captivates and resonates.

In 1989, a month before his fourth birthday, the artist and photographer Trent Davis Bailey (our host, Spencer Bailey's, identical twin brother) lost his mother in the crash-landing of United Airlines Flight 232 in Sioux City, Iowa. Now 38 and a husband and father, Bailey is at work on “Son Pictures,” an ongoing series of photographs piecing together fragments of his family's past, including details of his mother's life and the relationship he was never able to develop with her. Leading him to take deep-dives into newspaper and family photo archives, and from Colorado to Iowa to the Adirondacks, the project serves as a microcosm of Bailey's intensely personal and place-based body of work, which continually seeks to unearth the tangled roots of his identity. This summer, Bailey's first-ever solo museum exhibition, “Personal Geographies,” opened at the Denver Art Museum, and this fall he will release the corresponding project, “The North Fork,” in book form. Bailey is also currently at work on “Son Pictures,” an ongoing series of photographs piecing together fragments of his family's past, part of which was recently published as a New York Times op-ed titled “What a Motherless Son Knows About Fatherhood.” Leading him to take deep-dives into newspaper and family photo archives, and from Colorado to Iowa to the Adirondacks, “Son Pictures” On this episode—his and Spencer's first formal “twinterview,” recorded on their 38th birthday—Bailey talks about what it was like to grow up as an identical twin; his unusual and decidedly dysfunctional upbringing; photography as a device for commemoration; and his deep pictorial explorations of the climates, geographies, and landscapes of the American West.Special thanks to our Season 8 sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: [00:28] Trent Davis Bailey[09:58] “The North Fork” [10:02] “Personal Geographies” at the Denver Art Museum[10:12] “What a Motherless Son Knows About Fatherhood” [10:18] “Son Pictures”[11:54] Paonia, Colorado[17:37] Elsewhere Studios[20:10] California College of the Arts[20:22] Museum of Contemporary Photography's Snider Prize[20:28] Robert Koch Gallery[22:34] The Sublime[22:38] Shaun O'Dell[23:52] The Hotchkiss Crawford Historical Museum/Society[26:42] Robert Frank[26:53] Stephen Shore[26:55] Joel Sternfeld[28:27] “A Kingdom From Dust”[28:32] The California Sunday Magazine[28:36] Stewart Resnick[28:49] “Who Keeps Buying California's Scarce Water?

加入摄影早自习群,请加微信:nihaoyelaoshi(暗号:喜马拉雅)早安,我是叶梓,今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第2164天。© 秋山亮二前段时间不是跟麦麦一起去看了《你好,小朋友》的展览吗,当时也给大家做了一个分享,我说秋山亮二老师是有连线,在开幕式的现场来跟我们分享一下他的经验的。其中我就知道了一些很有趣的小细节,比如说秋山亮二用的是禄来的双镜头反光镜照相机,那种相机用的是120胶卷,每一卷只能拍12张正方形的照片。那也就是说他每拍一个或者是两个孩子,然后就要去更换胶卷。作为一个新闻记者出身的摄影师,来中国抓拍中国的孩子们,用一个那样的胶卷相机,那真的是要点本事的。禄来双镜头反光镜照相机 图片来源:祥升行相机博物馆在现场中国摄影家协会的两位老师——毛老师和萨老师也提到了他当时一个神奇的本领叫做换胶卷,他说秋山老师换胶卷的时候,速度快的让他瞠目结舌,很快那个胶卷就取出来了,塞进了新的胶卷又开始拍下一卷了。而秋山亮二用的这个相机还是一个手动对焦的相机,所以他的对焦速度其实也是非常快的,同时还要手动的设置光圈和快门,这个本领真的是非常重要。秋山亮二秋山老师自己也说,说我作为新闻记者,因为有很扎实的基本功,所以我能抓拍到我想要的那些笑脸,那些场景,我想这是他这组照片成功的一个很重要的原因。那由此我就想到了现在的摄影的情况,我们现在都用数码拍、手机拍,我们不用换胶卷了,一直可以拍下去,要拍到卡满也不太容易的。再加上现在的相机自动对焦速度都很快,连后进生富士,它现在的新的相机的对焦速度也让人相当的满意了,曝光就更不要说了,早早就是自动的半自动的了。所以我们现在几乎可以毫无障碍的去进行抓拍,只要你朝向那个方向打开人脸识别,然后你打开高速连拍按就好了,比起以前来真的要容易太多了。© 秋山亮二唉,这个时候就产生了一个新的问题。过去的照片抓拍的少,摆拍的多,所以抓拍它本身就是一种价值,让我们看到了80年代的中国的小朋友最自然的状态。这种照片在当时本来就是罕见的,因为其他人拍呢,大多数是摆拍,大多是化好妆,定格在那里,让你来拍摄。© Alex Webb那在现在抓拍这么容易的情况下,我们还会这么稀罕抓拍这件事吗?其实不会了。所以现在在街头拍摄的那些摄影师们,他们除了抓拍以外,可能还会重视更多的东西,比如说一种巧合,一种人物形态和环境之间的巧合,一种人物身上的颜色和环境颜色和车辆颜色之间的巧合,或者讲究符号,讲究我的画面中的这些物体它代表什么样的意义,能给人什么样的一个想象空间等等。也就是说当抓拍不再稀罕,我们就得追求别的东西。提顿山与蛇河,怀俄明州大提顿国家公园,1942年 © 安塞尔亚当斯这种情况在摄影上其实发生过很多次。我又想到一个例子,过去美国的著名的风光摄影大师安塞尔亚当斯,他拍摄了很多美国西部高山上拍摄的无人区的照片,特别的壮观,特别漂亮。当时安塞尔朗斯为什么那么红啊,原因很简单,因为当时那些地方真的是人迹罕至,普通人根本上不去,看不到那的风景。而安塞亚当斯他最大的爱好其实还不是摄影,是登山,他是登山俱乐部的一个资深成员。所以当他开着他的车,把大画幅相机运到山的半山腰,再背着它走一段,是吧?拍下一张无人区的山顶的照片的时候,那真的是非常浪漫的,这种照片一旦发表出来,很多人都会很喜欢。可是现在呢,事情变得很简单了,哪都很容易去,有公路,大家都自驾。而且登山的条件也越来越好了,大家都有什么冲锋衣啊,帐篷啊,要是海拔太高太冷的话,还有暖宝宝啊,你总是有办法可以到达那个地方。所以这种拍山脉山区大风光的人就越来越多,那大家还稀罕吗?好像也没有过去那么稀罕了,你现在再要拍那些照片,别人就会觉得真美,然后就完事了,它并不会流传的那么的广。所以你发现没有,随着时代的迁移,时代的进步,随着条件的改变,我们过去在创作过程中一些非常罕见的或者非常难得到的画面,一些非常难做到的拍摄题材,它在现在会变得越来越普遍,它的独有性的价值就会大量的降低,然后我们就会有新的追求。这种循环其实非常有趣,一方面我们总是在追求新的东西,追求着诗与远方;另一方面,一旦到手,我们就会萌生出新的欲望去追求更新的东西。这个事儿我不能说它是个坏事儿,不能说它是个缺点,我也不想说应该小富即安,应该守在自己的舒适区里面别出来了,大家就小确幸就好了。其实在我的眼里,正是这种从追求到拥有,从稀罕到不稀罕再到追求的这种循环过程,才是我们进步的阶梯。我以前老是听到有同学在问我说:叶老师,我们就想拍点美美的不好吗?我的回答都是好啊,挺好的呀,我不会跟他说后面的话,为什么呢?因为当他大量拍摄这样的美美的照片的时候,拍摄他已经能熟练掌握的这种拍摄题材的时候,总有一天他会腻了,他就会想去追求新的东西,这种过程是自然而然的,所以我不用去劝他们。也只有从他心底生出来的这种新的追求,才是真正的能促使他进步的动力。好,今天我们就从秋山亮二的换胶卷的速度开始聊了这么多,希望多多少少对你有点启发,你也可以把自己的想法发在留言区,我们一起来讨论,一起来进步。你可以说说你有没有已经腻味的风格的照片,然后你现在正在追求什么样的风格的创作?好,那么今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第2164天,我是叶梓,每天早上6:30,微信公众号以及喜马拉雅的“摄影早自习”栏目,不见不散。

Alessia Tagliaventi"Colpo d'occhio"Le fotografie fanno coseContrastohttps://contrastobooks.com/Un libro delle meraviglie, pensato per giovani occhi, per conoscere la fotografia, osservare la realtà con sguardo diverso e giocare con le immagini.Ogni pagina sarà un invito a una scoperta, a un viaggio, a una conversazione con le foto. Giochiamo a osservarle, scoprire i dettagli, scovare le domande che ci pongono, chiederci perché ci piacciono o non ci piacciono.Colpo d'occhio. Le fotografie fanno cose di Alessia Tagliaventi è un libro ricco di immagini, diverse sorprese e molte storie di fotografia per giovani occhi.Le immagini ci parlano, scovano i dettagli più nascosti della realtà, ci pongono domande, sono ambigue perché non si svelano mai fino in fondo, permettendoci così di immaginare anche quello che non dicono. Le fotografie possono fare tante cose: ci emozionano, ci fanno riflettere, ci divertono, stimolano la fantasia e la curiosità, ci portano indietro nel tempo e lontano nello spazio, ci invitano a inventare storie. Suddiviso in quattro sezioni (Personaggi, Luoghi, Oggetti, Animali), il volume presenta una straordinaria serie di immagini di grandi fotografi e fotografe, da Elliott Erwitt a Luigi Ghirri, da Garry Winogrand a Helen Levitt fino ad Alex Webb tra gli altri. Ogni immagine è accompagnata da un breve testo di Alessia Tagliaventi che la racconta e guida nella lettura, evidenziandone gli aspetti principali, ponendo domande e dando spunti per la possibile creazione di storie sempre nuove.Al libro è allegato un cartoncino con un foro, da usare come una cornice per entrare nell'immagine, giocando a cercare i dettagli che più incuriosiscono, oppure per osservare il mondo alla ricerca di possibili nuove inquadrature. Un'educazione all'arte della fotografia in modo interattivo che stimola ad allenare lo sguardo e aggiungere il proprio punto di vista ai diversi sguardi sulla realtà. La fotografia può raccontare storie, mostrare il mondo, ma anche inventarlo. Un libro per conoscere, approfondire e prendere spunto per ideare storie, guardarsi intorno e, perché no, cominciare a fotografare quello che ci colpisce. Alessia Tagliaventi è editor, curatrice, e docente di Storia della Fotografia. Per Contrasto ha seguito numerosi progetti editoriali ed è autrice di pubblicazioni e saggi critici sul linguaggio fotografico. È stata anche coautrice, con Michele Smargiassi, dei fascicoli Maestri di fotografia, in abbinamento con La Repubblica e National Geographic.

Se me antoja difícil transmitirte el impacto que el invitado de hoy - con el que arranca la segunda teporada de Calle Oscura - ha tenido en mi vida. Recuerdo perfectamente la primera vez que sostuve en mis manos uno de sus libros, era un ejemplar de Fotografía de Viajes (https://amzn.to/3uFU6Iq) que encontré en una estantería de una biblioteca pública hace un buen puñado de años. Me lo llevé a casa y lo devoré de principio a fin tan fascinado por las imágenes como por las palabras. Con aquel pequeño volumen aprendí muchas cosas, una de las más valiosas que es posible enseñar divirtiendo. Entonces ni lo sospechaba, pero aquel libro de color amarillo anaranjado acabaría por convertirse en una de las semillas de lo que ha acabado siendo mi vida. En todos estos años Tino Soriano no ha dejado de enseñarme e inspirarme. Es uno de los pocos fotógrafos con los que en algún momento me dije aquello de “yo quiero hacer esto”, antes de entender que cuando tienes la suerte de descubrir a grandes como él lo mejor es subirse a sus hombros para encontrar tu propio camino. En este episodio hablamos de - La conveniencia de olvidarse de la cámara de vez en cuando. - Esa parte menos visible - y también mucho menos agradecida - del trabajo de reportero. - Compatibilizar encargos y trabajo personal. - La transición de la fotografía analógica a la digital. - Todo lo que nos puede enseñar los lugares que conocemos bien. - Cómo disfrutar de los lugares que visitamos. - Viajar bien. - Dedicar tiempo a las personas con las que nos cruzamos. - Que la fotografía es el resultado de la experiencia. - Y una excusa para compartir nuestra vida. Entre muchas, muchas cosas más, y es que tantas décadas de carrera profesional dan para un buen puñado de lecciones que Tino comparte con todos nosotros. Quién me acompaña Tino Soriano nació en Barcelona en 1955 y vive cerca del lago de Banyoles, un lugar que en sus propias palabras le ha enseñado mucha fotografía y al que recientemente ha dedicado BanyolesSpeculum, uno de sus, por ahora, veinte libros. Fotógrafo y comunicador, el trabajo de Tino ha sido reconocido por la Unesco, la Real Sociedad Fotográfica y las organizaciones del World Press Photo y el Premio Nacional Piedad Isla, entre otras muchas entidades que componen una lista interminable. Pensad en una publicación relevante y Tino habrá publicado en ella sin lugar a dudas: Geo, Altair, El País Semanal, Time Magazine, Paris Match, Der Spiegel… Y sí, también en National Geographic, de la que se enamoró de pequeño en casa de su padrino, con la que trabaja desde hace más de 20 años y que lo ha reconocido como docente experto.

La Fotografía Callejera es mucho más que los clichés trillados, fotos-anécdota y una determinada estética. Si buscamos – incluso dentro de las plataformas y las redes más populares – es posible encontrar trabajos de esos que nos enseñan a mirar el espacio que transitamos cada día con otros ojos. Hace mucho tiempo que sigo y disfruto de las imágenes de Ernesto pero, aunque nos conocemos en persona, nunca habíamos charla de dónde vienen y cómo ve la calle… Hasta ahora. En este episodio hablamos de Que a veces un fallo es en realidad un desvío para acabar acertando. Cómo “coleccionar objetos” puede llevarnos a series fotográficas. Localizar temas recurrentes mientras trabajamos con nuestro archivo. Pensar en el conjunto y no solo en las fotos sueltas. La importancia de llevar la cámara encima, siempre. Que la herramienta influye en el proceso. La conveniencia de vagar sin rumbo. Cómo el lugar en el que estamos condiciona lo que vemos. Que podemos construir, echar todo abajo y volver a empezar, y que eso nos puede ayudar a evolucionar. La importancia de jugar, experimentar y divertirse. Y por supuesto de muchas cosas más que surgieron durante la charla. Quién me acompaña Ernesto Peña, madrileño y nacido en 1978, tiene una de las galerías más elegantes y bellas que he visto, consecuencia de una capacidad envidiable para construir imágenes engañosamente simples (oirás su risa en el episodio cuando le digo esto), llenas de color, formas… Y espacios.

En un mundo de pantallas y pixels, donde consumimos miles de imágenes a diario casi sin ser conscientes, los libros de Fotografía y fotolibros – que no son lo mismo, aunque pueda parecerlo – siguen manteniendo intacta su capacidad para atraparnos y llevarnos de la mano a un mundo propio. Así que aquí está este nuevo episodio de Calle Oscura, en el que me siento a charlar de Fotografía y páginas de libros con alguien a quien le gustan tanto como a mí y de quien no dejo de aprender constantemente. En este episodio hablamos de - La experiencia de adentrarse en un fotolibro. - Cómo la inspiración puede colarse desde el lugar más inesperado. - La importancia de cultivar nuestra cultura visual. - Las conexiones entre palabra e imagen y cómo se influyen mutuamente. - La relación entre fotografía y otras formas artísticas. - La conveniencia de interesarte por lo aquello que está en las antípodas de lo que haces (y de lo que te gusta). - Que empezar copiando puede ser una gran manera de cultivar una mirada propia. - Por qué los trabajos clásicos son imprescindibles. - Que hay distintos fotolibros para diferentes momentos vitales. - Cómo acercarse a ese mundo desde cero. Y, claro, de muchas otras cosas que fueron saliendo durante la charla. Quién me acompaña Leire Etxazarra es una apasionada de la Fotografía y de los fotolibros, algo que se nota – y mucho – en todos sus proyectos. El primero fue un blog muy bien escrito y lleno de información valiosa (y entretenida, una combinación irresistible), a aquello le siguió un canal de Youtube dedicado a sus libros favoritos, que comparte y analiza desde una óptica muy personal. Disfruto muchísimo con todo lo que hace Leire y he aprendido tanto de su mano que no veía el momento de sentarme a charlar con ella de fotos, libros y – algo que sospechaba que sucedería – un buen puñado de cosas más.

¿Tiene la Fotografía analógica, la de toda la vida, sentido en pleno siglo XXI? ¿Por qué complicarse la vida con carretes de solo unas decenas de exposiciones, laboratorio y largas esperas hasta poder ver lo que hemos conseguido? A pesar de sus aparentes limitaciones (que, por cierto, no me parecen necesariamente algo negativo) la Fotografía química tiene mucho que ofrecernos, y precisamente como consecuencia de sus particularidades y de todo aquello que la diferencia de lo digital, puede ayudarnos a mirar y a capturar el mundo que nos rodea de otra manera. En este episodio hablamos de - Todo lo que nos aporta fotografiar en película aunque nos movamos con soltura en el mundo digital. - La posibilidad de empezar por muy poco. - Cómo cambia nuestra forma de vivir el proceso. - Lo sencillo que es montar tu propio laboratorio en casa. - Que fotografiar en analógico no es más caro que lo digital (ni siquiera tanto). - Todas las decisiones que tomamos antes de fotografiar en película. - La enorme cantidad de posibilidades creativas de lo químico. - Cómo dar el paso de forma muy sencilla. - Por qué fotografiar en analógico es sinónimo de control, aunque pueda parecer todo lo contrario. - Y que nos puede hacer mucho mejores fotógraf@s. Y, claro, de muchas otras cosas que han surgido por el camino. Quién me acompaña Chechu, aka Herman Toothtrot es un apasionado de la Fotografía química que se ha montado su propio laboratorio en casa y que ha convertido la difusión de lo analógico en su gran proyecto profesional. Por encima de todo, Chechu defiende otra forma de fotografiar, más pausada y consciente, consecuencia de ralentizar y controlar el proceso en todos sus pasos. Y todo esto con un estilo muy personal y ameno que me enganchó desde la primera vez que me crucé con él en las redes, hasta el punto de tiene gran parte de la culpa de que cada vez me sienta más atraído por la Fotografía como se hacía antes… Y ya os adelanto que este episodio de Calle Oscura no ha hecho que se me pase, precisamente.

Plus this week photographer Homer Sykes takes on the challenge of supplying Grant with an audio file no longer than 5 minutes in length in which he answer's the question ‘What Does Photography Mean to You?' If you want to hear more about Homer's friendship with Bill Jay mentioned in this episode and find out why and how Bill Jay was one of the most important people in the evolution of British photography at the end of the 20th Century you can by watching our feature length documentary on Jay's life featuring Homer, Martin Parr, Ralph Gibson, Paul Hill, Anna Ray-Jones, David Hurn, Alex Webb, Brian Griffin and Daniel Meadows here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd47549knOU www.donotbendfilm.com You can read the review of Grant's latest book by Cary Benbow here www.fstopmagazine.com/blog/2019/12/book-review-new-ways-of-seeing-the-democratic-language-of-photography-by-grant-scott/ Homer Sykes was born in 1949 and is a Canadian-born British documentary photographer. He was a keen photographer as a teenager, with a darkroom both at home and at boarding school. In 1968 he started a three-year course at the London College of Printing (LCP), and during his first year, went to New York, where he was impressed by the work of photographers - Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bruce Davidson, Lee Friedlander, Robert Frank, Burk Uzzle and Garry Winogrand — that he saw at the Museum of Modern Art. Whilst considering a new photographic project at college, Sykes came across a story on the Britannia Coconut Dancers in an issue of In Britain magazine. This led him to research other local festivals in Britain at the archives of Cecil Sharp House, London. Sykes' photography of these festivals was inspired by that of Sir Benjamin Stone, but he approached them with a modern sensibility and a small-format camera, after absorbing advice from photographer David Hurn, then a part-time lecturer at LCP, as well as other photographers that he met through Hurn, including editor and writer Bill Jay. Sykes moved on to photographing news stories for the Weekend Telegraph, Observer, Sunday Times, Newsweek, Now, Time, and New Society. He worked with various agencies including from 1989 to 2005 with the influential Network Photographers. Sykes also photographed the British landscape for various books but always found time for his own projects including Hunting with Hounds, and On the Road Again, photographs of four North American road trips taken over three decades. Sykes has taught on the Master's course in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at the London College of Communication and in 2014, the Maison de la photographie Robert Doisneau, Paris, held a major exhibition of Sykes' work from the 1970s. He photographed the glam rock, punk, new wave and other music/fashion scenes of Britain and his work has been consistently published as a series of short narratives by Cafe Royal Books and as a major monograph My British Archive: The Way We Were 1968-1983 by Dewis Lewis in 2018. Homer continues to document the British way of life today and lives in South-West London. www.homersykes.com Grant Scott is the founder/curator of United Nations of Photography, a Senior Lecturer and Subject Co-ordinator: Photography at Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, a working photographer, and the author of Professional Photography: The New Global Landscape Explained (Focal Press 2014) and The Essential Student Guide to Professional Photography (Focal Press 2015). His next book New Ways of Seeing: The Democratic Language of Photography will be published by Bloomsbury Academic in 2019. © Grant Scott 2019
