In a podcast recorded at ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Gregory Tellone, CEO of Cloud IBR, about simplifying disaster recovery (DR) testing and turning recoverability into a practical, recurring revenue opportunity for MSPs. Cloud IBR is a SaaS platform designed for organizations using Veeam backups. With a single click, the system provisions dedicated bare-metal cloud servers, installs operating systems, restores encrypted backup repositories, configures networking, VPN access, firewalls, and hands off a fully operational environment for either a live disaster or a scheduled recovery test. “Most backup products are great at backup,” Tellone explained. “The problem is knowing whether your backups are actually good and being able to test recovery easily.” The platform addresses a longstanding gap in the SMB market: the complexity and cost of maintaining secondary DR sites and conducting realistic recovery testing. Traditional DR requires duplicate infrastructure, bandwidth, replication management, and ongoing maintenance—often making full testing impractical. Cloud IBR automates that entire process in approximately 20 minutes of onboarding time, enabling monthly recovery testing by default and generating detailed PDF reports documenting every recovered server and recovery time objective (RTO). For MSPs, the opportunity is strategic. Starting at $299 per month, the service provides a low-barrier entry point into customer accounts while strengthening trust and expanding monthly recurring revenue. Tellone described it as a relationship builder: “It's always easier to sell to a customer than to a prospect. You start with something simple that works, and from there you grow.” With automated reporting suitable for cyber insurance applications and RFP responses, Cloud IBR transforms disaster recovery from a checkbox exercise into a demonstrable operational advantage.

In this master's class episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I sit down with Ryan Barone, co-founder and CEO of RentRedi, an all-in-one landlord app built specifically for independent owners from 1-50+ units. RentRedi helps self-managing investors streamline rent collection, maintenance, leasing, renewals, and accounting so they can scale without graduating to a big, clunky property-management platform or living inside spreadsheets and text threads forever.   Ryan walks through how getting buried in paperwork as a first-time renter in NYC led him to build an app for tenants, then, after thousands of conversations with landlords, evolve it into a full platform managing over $30 billion in assets across all 50 states. We dig into the data on tenant retention and on-time payments, why a fast maintenance response and automated reminders move the needle on ROI, how RentRedi boosts on-time payments just by reporting rent to all three credit bureaus, and how their new built-in accounting and tax tools turn year-end chaos into one click.    If you own even one rental, or you're doing creative terms deals and still managing doors, this conversation will show you how to run your portfolio like a real business, without losing your mind.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:14 Who is Ryan Barone? 02:37 RentRedi: All-in-one app for the full rental life cycle 04:40 Origin story: from frustrated renter to founder 05:43 The pivot: landlords wanted tools too 07:20 Bridging the "good landlord / good tenant" gap 10:17 The RentRedi demographic 11:33 Growing without changing systems 15:20 Studying $30B in assets to find what actually works 16:58 Hack #1: Fast maintenance response = longer tenure 19:15 Hack #2: Automate rent reminders, late fees & autopay 21:25 Built for our community too (from 1 deal to dozens) 22:00 Constantly evolving with the market (COVID, e-signing, etc.) 23:17 New integrated accounting & tax tools 24:40 Roadmap driven by customer chats   Quotables   "RentRedi is an all-in-one app that allows anybody to self-manage their rentals in a simpler, more affordable way and ultimately make them successful in doing so."   "Too often people get a bad rap of 'bad tenants' or 'bad landlords.' I think there's good people on both sides—they just don't have a good system in the middle."   "We've been able to boost on-time payments by 13% if we just report rent to the bureaus."   Links   RentRedi https://rentredi.com/   QLS 4.0 - Use coupon code for 50% off https://smartrealestatecoach.com/qls Coupon code: pod   Apprentice Program https://3paydaysapprentice.com Coupon code: Podcast   Masterclass https://smartrealestatecoach.com/masterspodcast   3 Paydays Books https://3paydaysbooks.com/podcast   Strategy Session https://smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast   Partners https://smartrealestatecoach.com/podcastresources

Siemens is one of those absolutely giant, extremely important, fairly opaque companies we love to dig into on Decoder. At a very basic, reductive level, Siemens makes the hardware and software that let other companies run and automate their stuff. We spent a lot of time talking about what happens to jobs when Siemens automates everything — and what happens to a company like Siemens when the free trade era we're used to gets turned on its head.

Pete Mora joins the Restaurant Unstoppable Network for a live Q+A on March 16th, 2026 at 11AM EST. To join us and engage with all our guests and events, go to restaurantunstoppable.com/live -OR- to just catch today's guest, head over to restaurantunstoppable.com/cwe and we will get you a link to join that specific event for FREE! Pedro "Pete" Mora is the founder and CEO of Fajita Pete's, a Houston-based Tex-Mex concept built around catering, delivery, and a streamlined fajita-focused menu. Born in Colombia and raised with an entrepreneurial push from his family, he opened his first full-service Mexican restaurant, Poblano's, at age 23 in 2002, discovering that guests were most excited about fajitas and off-premise catering. In 2008 he closed that restaurant and launched Fajita Pete's, reimagining the business as a compact, catering first brand that delivers fresh fajitas, tacos, and flautas directly to homes, offices, and events. A graduate of the University of Houston's entrepreneurship program, Mora has grown Fajita Pete's from a single Houston location into a fast-growing franchise recognized on lists of top emerging franchise brands, all while keeping the model intentionally simple and hospitality-driven. On this episode, Pete shares how he went from crafting tables in his garage to building a scalable restaurant system, why he believes hospitality matters more than square footage, and what he's learned about grit, franchising, and "achieving the American dream one fajita at a time."

Learn how to use the AI Accelerator effect to scale smarter not faster into failure. In this episode, I break down the AI Accelerator principle and why it's the most misunderstood concept in business right now. While everyone rushes to automate everything, I reveal the dangerous trap most entrepreneurs fall into: accelerating broken processes, bad habits, and unmanaged systems. 2026 presents the biggest opportunity I've seen in my entire career, but only for those who understand that AI is an employee not a magic solution. I share a real conversation I had with a board member who wanted to use AI to fix his team's inability to follow processes, and why I told him that's exactly the wrong approach. Joining me is my COO and good friend, Joe Beecroft. Joe specializes in helping ambitious CEOs and founders overcome their biggest scaling challenges. As part of our team at Predictable Profits, he's helped us become the secret weapon behind some of the nation's fastest-growing 7- and 8-figure companies, with 15 making the Inc. 5000 list. A former All-American soccer player and Arsenal supporter, Joe brings both competitive drive and strategic precision to everything he does. KEY TAKEAWAYS: AI is an accelerator it makes whatever you're already doing faster, whether that's good habits or bad ones. You don't accelerate problems; if you can't do it right manually, you have no business automating it with AI. AI is not a technology, it's an employee that requires management and KPIs just like your team. The companies struggling right now are the ones who built their business on a single spoke that AI has disrupted. There's no such thing as a good or bad economy only a different economy with different opportunities. Putting your head in the sand and cutting costs is the opposite of what you should be doing in 2026. AI can actually pull you deeper into the founder's trap if you use it without strategic systems in place. This is the biggest window of opportunity since the birth of the internet and those who lean in now will gain an outsized competitive advantage. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.

Jordan Ware and Cindi Kozak are the chef-and-general manager team behind Frankie's in Burlington, Vermont, a 70-seat, seafood-forward, farm-to-table restaurant in the former Penny Cluse Café space that has quickly become one of the most talked-about new spots in the country. After years working together at Hen of the Wood—Jordan as executive chef and Cindi as general manager and wine buyer—they struck out on their first solo venture, building a warm, "fine but friendly" dining room that bridges casual and special-occasion hospitality while spotlighting New England farms, fisheries, and producers. Jordan, a Culinary Institute of America graduate originally from Bennington, Vermont, leads an ever-changing, adventurous menu that works directly with local farmers and a small fishmonger to keep the food deeply tied to place, while Cindi, who came to Burlington for Champlain College, curates the wine and cocktail programs with an emphasis on sustainable, personality-driven bottles and classic-but-not-stuffy drinks. Together they see Frankie's as a civic investment in downtown Burlington and a joyful, community-driven "day-to-day place," where the next generation of Vermont hospitality can experiment with new ideas, support producers, and still feel like a neighborhood restaurant.

Is 120 days too early to talk about renewals? Not if you value occupancy and pricing power.In today's Multifamily Operator Tip of the Day, we're resetting the mindset around renewal timing. The truth? Renewals aren't just a notice—they're a relationship.Some say the renewal convo should start at move-in. Others say 90 days. But I'm telling you, 120 days out with a thoughtful communication process is the sweet spot. Why? Because it gives residents time to reflect and gives your team time to execute.And here's your bonus: Automate it.Early outreach tells your residents one thing loud and clear: We're organized, we're confident, and we want you here.If you're investing in service, CapEx, and meaningful touchpoints, then starting early isn't a risk. It's a retention strategy.When residents feel seen, they respond with loyalty.Don't wait for the lease to expire to start the conversation. Renewals handled early turn relationships into commitments.Like this kind of insight?

Spencer and Jamie break down the 10 core principles of Bogleheads investing and show how military service members can apply this simple, low-cost approach to build wealth through the TSP and other accounts. If you're overwhelmed by investing advice or tempted by day trading and crypto, this episode cuts through the noise with a proven strategy that's worked for decades. Hosts: Spencer Reese (former Air Force pilot, 12 years active duty) and Jamie (active duty officer) The 10 Bogleheads Principles Develop a workable plan - Create an investment policy statement (even informal) to guide decisions during market volatility Invest early and often - Automate contributions to remove decision fatigue; increase TSP allocation today Never bear too much or too little risk - Age-appropriate asset allocation; avoid the old G Fund default trap Diversify - Don't put all eggs in one basket; TSP funds cover entire US market plus international exposure Never try to time the market - Time IN the market beats timing the market; market dropped 19% in April 2025, now up 38% from that low Use index funds when possible - TSP offers five low-cost index funds; 90% of active managers can't beat index funds over 20 years Keep costs low - TSP expense ratios under 0.1%; avoid predatory companies charging 1-2%+ fees Minimize taxes - Leverage Roth TSP and Roth IRA; military tax advantages (BAH, BAS, combat zone exclusion) Invest with simplicity - LADS approach (Low-cost, Automated, Diversified, Simple); Warren Buffett's S&P 500 bet crushed hedge funds Stay the course - Measure performance in decades, not days/weeks; don't panic sell during downturns Key Takeaways Why Bogleheads Philosophy Works for Military: Takes power back from financial advisors and complex products Simple enough anyone can succeed with minimal effort Perfect match for TSP's low-cost index fund structure Removes emotion from investing decisions TSP Advantages: Five index funds (C, S, I, G, F) cover nearly entire investable market Lifecycle funds automatically balance risk by retirement year Expense ratios under 0.1% (incredibly low) Now defaults to lifecycle funds instead of G Fund (huge improvement with Blended Retirement System) Common Military Investing Mistakes: Old G Fund default trap - cost retirees millions in missed gains Trying to time the market or day trade Paying high fees to predatory companies Not automating contributions Measuring performance over days/weeks instead of decades The Math That Matters: First $100K took Spencer 4+ years; second $100K took 2 years (compound growth accelerates) Market will drop 30% in next 10 years (guaranteed) - but timing it is impossible S&P 500 gained 125% over 10 years vs. best hedge fund's 87% in Warren Buffett's famous bet April 2025 market drop: 19% down, then 38% up from that low within months Diversification Made Easy: C Fund: 500 largest US companies (S&P 500) S Fund: ~2,000 smaller US companies I Fund: 5,000+ international companies (20+ developed + emerging markets, excludes China/Hong Kong) Combined: Total US and international market exposure Add VXUS in Roth IRA for China/Hong Kong exposure if desired Automation is Your Friend: Log into MyPay once, increase TSP allocation, never think about it again Every promotion or time-in-grade raise = bump allocation by 1% One decision removes 100 future decisions Eliminate decision fatigue and emotional reactions Fee Impact Example: Predatory companies charge 1-2%+ fees TSP: Under 0.1% Fidelity FZROX: 0% expense ratio Vanguard funds: 0.03% Rule of thumb: Stay under 0.25%, ideally under 0.10% Resources Mentioned Books: "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing" by Jack Bogle "The Military Money Manual" by Spencer Reese (available at MWR Library, Libby app, Amazon) Investment Accounts: TSP (Thrift Savings Plan) - Military 401k Roth TSP and Roth IRA (tax-advantaged accounts) Recommended brokerages: Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab Key Terms: LADS: Low-cost, Automated, Diversified, Simple Index fund vs. active management Expense ratio and basis points Asset location strategy Investment Policy Statement Previous Episodes Referenced: TSP deep dives (search podcast) Roth TSP vs. Roth IRA explanations "Do Better" episode on predatory companies Real-World Examples Lieutenant with $50K in checking account - proves military pay allows saving, just need to invest it Service member paid off all auto and student loans in 3 months of deployment Retirees with $250-500K in G Fund who missed out on millions Enron, WorldCom, Lehman Brothers - why diversification matters MicroStrategy (MSTR) - current example of concentrated risk Who This Episode Is For Military service members at any rank TSP participants unsure how to invest Anyone tempted by day trading, crypto, or "get rich quick" schemes New investors overwhelmed by options Service members paying high fees to financial advisors Anyone who wants a simple, proven wealth-building strategy Quick Action Steps Log into MyPay and increase TSP allocation (even 1% helps) Verify you're in appropriate Lifecycle Fund (birth year + 60-65 years) NOT in G Fund unless near retirement Set automatic annual increases (1% per year) Open Roth IRA at Fidelity, Vanguard, or Schwab Read "The Military Money Manual" (free at base library) Stop checking account daily - check quarterly at most Contact Website: MilitaryMoneyManual.com Instagram: @MilitaryMoneyManual Book: "The Military Money Manual" (Amazon, $3 Kindle, free at MWR libraries) The Bogleheads philosophy has helped millions become millionaires through simple, low-cost index fund investing. As a military service member, you have access to one of the best low-cost investment vehicles in the world - the TSP. Stop overthinking it, automate your investments, and stay the course.

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into the strategies and mindset shifts that elevate coaching businesses to elite status. The hosts explore the concept of the "upgrade effect," break down lessons from world-class entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and Dana White, and share real-world stories of perseverance, resilience, and client impact. Whether you're looking to sign more clients, level up your identity, or create lasting change in yourself and your business owners, this episode delivers actionable insights and frameworks you can apply today. Key Topics Covered The Upgrade Effect for Lasting Change Karl Bryan introduces the "upgrade effect"—the idea that real growth starts with upgrading identity, not just chasing better outcomes. He shares a flywheel model connecting mindset, beliefs, values, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves, encouraging coaches to focus on root identity shifts for meaningful, sustainable success. Lessons from Elite Entrepreneurs: Elon Musk's Five-Step Problem-Solving Karl Bryan distills Elon Musk's approach: Define clear requirements Eliminate what's not needed Simplify and optimize Accelerate cycle time Automate last—not first He connects this framework to product development, coaching delivery, and ensuring you're solving the right problems before optimizing or automating. Characteristics of High-Performing Coaches Elite coaches love measurement, accountability, and competition. They seek feedback, practice to improve, take radical ownership, and avoid victim loops. The hosts emphasize focusing on building who you are, not just what you have. Perseverance and the Dana White UFC Story Karl Bryan shares the saga of Dana White and UFC: relentless setbacks, repeated rejection, ghosting from networks, and eventually a billion-dollar turnaround. The lesson? Real impact comes from what you refuse to give up on—even when success feels impossible. Creating Long-Term Coaching Value The conversation moves from chasing clients and revenue to designing businesses that are tight, profitable, and systematized. The hosts challenge coaches to build companies that could be sold tomorrow (but are so enjoyable, you wouldn't want to). Notable Quotes "The real upgrade is identity first and then outcomes. It'll make the outcomes last—for you and your clients." —Karl Bryan "If it's not measured, it's underperforming—the elite tend to be measurement geeks." —Karl Bryan "You'll be remembered for what you refuse to give up on." —Karl Bryan "True intelligence isn't about being a high performer. It's measured by getting what you want." —Karl Bryan, paraphrasing Naval Ravikant "The goal is to make you wildly profitable. That's why you hired me. Let's stay on the railroad tracks." —Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways Upgrade Your Identity First: Pause on chasing outcomes—start by shifting the stories and beliefs you hold about yourself. Encourage clients to do the same for lasting transformation. Always Measure Performance: Use data, leaderboards, and progress tracking to motivate elite behavior—for yourself and clients. "What gets measured, gets improved." Focus On Solving the Right Problems: Don't spend energy optimizing broken systems. Clarify requirements, eliminate waste, and simplify before automating. Practice Relentless Perseverance: Refuse to quit when setbacks hit. Study stories like UFC's Dana White—most breakthroughs come after the biggest obstacles. Serve and Study Before Selling: Give genuine value up front. Study the greats rather than envy them; ask questions and listen more than you justify or explain. Design Businesses for Profit and Fun, Not Just Size: Help clients build lean, profitable companies they enjoy running—rather than chasing bloat or revenue for its own sake.
