Len DiCostanzo has been a mainstay of the global IT channel and is a sought-after consultant and speaker. For decades, he has been providing thought leadership and best practice guidance for senior leaders who want to understand the channel's roots and its future. DiCostanzo consults and collaborates with leading and emerging channel vendors, as well as managed service providers and business technology solution providers who want to accelerate growth and better serve clients. He has worked with thousands of partners helping them build their managed services practice with a focus on service catalog development, pricing and bundling, and go-to-market strategy development and execution. His recent work has focused on helping SaaS and cybersecurity vendors and specialty distributors to grow their MSP and VAR channels by building comprehensive partner programs. The programs are designed to drive internal awareness across the business while accelerating partner go-to-market motion and recurring revenue for the vendor and their partners. Len has consulted with and led the buildout and execution of Partner Programs for top channel vendors including ConnectWise, LogMeIn, and LastPass. 2:08 – Len has been in the business for a long time, having started a solution provider business in 1984. He was a solution writer for 20 years and sold his business to a publicly traded company in 2001. He then moved to consulting and helping them build out their global MSP partner community and eventually found a role at Auto Task. 5:51 – Tim believes Len just made an important point about the number of MSPs they've spoken with over the years who simply don't know how to wrap all of those into one service. Despite his belief that people are far more advanced than they have ever been, there is still a great need. 9:10 – Brian believes that products are becoming more specialized and that MSPs should form a partnership with their vendor partner to better support their needs. This includes educating the vendor on how to better meet the needs of the MSP. 9:50 – Len said that it depends on the vendor and how they intend to market. They are aware that they are an outsourced partner. The bottom line is that every vendor must become a more strategic partner for the MSP, which begins with having a comprehensive and robust partner program. 11:43 – Robb's message is that MSPs often go to vendors with great ideas and don't implement them, leading to a loss of the vendor 6 months later. It is a powerful message that can help both the sale and implementation sides. 16:07 – Len spent a year and a half with Cordo before COVID sold the business, building a product called Cloud Optimizer for offices of sixty-five. He now consults on the MSP side and talks about the vendor's offering. 21:25 – Brian believes that the only way to increase the amount per seat charge is by consolidating products, building them into the service offering, and providing services around it. The products are just enablers for him to get to that service offering.

In today's episode, we talk about the possibility of centering your lifestyle around what you love to do through a real-life example.My friend and fellow Renegade, Jessica DiCostanzo, shares her journey of discovering her love for horses as a child to designing a life around horses as an adult. The journey, while clear in reflection, wasn't linear. It was a winding, ever evolving dance with the Universe. At every stage, Jessica had to iterate and recenter her focus on what mattered most to her - spending the most time possible on and with horses. Along the way, she learned some valuable skills and lessons. Every career and life step had something to offer that was valuable to her growth and trajectory. She just had to take the time and space to figure out what each of those gifts was. Through that lens, Jessica has crafted a lifestyle that puts her passion first. Today, she is not only spending time riding and competing, but she is also helping humans help their horses through her business Equivont.com, an online marketplace for horse people.Jessica's story is inspiring in that it's relatable AND aspirational. She has shown how hard work, reflection, and intentional design really can lead to a life of doing more of what you love.We know it's not the end of this journey, Jessica, and we can't wait to see how you continue on serving these majestic animals and people through your passion.

She is an active competitor in eventing and dressage and serves as a board member on the San Juan Capistrano Equestrian Coalition. She's shaped her days around horses and horse people.

Join us for the inaugural PEDEGO PODCAST with Don DiCostanzo discussing the many epiphanies that led him to start his own electric bike company and turn it into one of the biggest brands in America (all based here in OC). Recalling how he saw the need in his own life (trying to ride down to the beach and then back up the hill). Which led him to test the concept by opening a small shop next to the Crab Cooker on Balboa Peninsula to see if he could sell a few. And with that "proof of concept" set out to build his own bikes and a dedicated dealer network (a first for this industry) that's closing in on 200 stores. Ride along as he recalls it all in what he describes as just the first inning of this EBike Revolution. Here on Orange County's only community radio station, OC TALK RADIO. Streaming live from the University of California Irvine's BEALL APPLIED INNOVATION CENTER. Brought to you by PEDEGO Electric Bikes.

Don DiCostanzo has a really cool current company, Pedego, which is also his passion. That's clear in how he talks about it. Don is the co-founder and CEO of Pedego® Electric Bikes, the number 1 electric bike brand in the United States, according to Navigant Research. They are sold at more than 100 Pedego-branded stores in the United States, plus in Canada and Europe. The bikes have electric motors that help riders over hills and through headwinds, and traveling up to 60 miles on a single battery charge.The company was founded here in 2008. I love their tagline - “Hello, Fun!” And you’ll love the many celebrities on his website who have and love his bikes.Don is a serial entrepreneur – he founded and invested in another company, bringpro in 2014; he also has another company in the equestrian space with his daughter. Before that he was the CEO of Zak Products and worked with auto dealers for over 5 years, and he was the president of Wynn Oil Company, an 80 year old company in the automotive industry. Don and I also share a life experience. We were both presidents of our fraternities in college, a job I still consider as one of the hardest I’ve ever had. Don's energy and enthusiasm are infectious - he's a great cheerleader for Orange County and an inspiration to other entrepreneurs and aspiring ones here.
Our first ever special bonus episode is a doozy! Today we take a deep dive with our friend Paul DiCostanzo from the A.D. History Podcast into the early Soviet Union and their situation prior to the invasion by Germany in 1941. The conversation flows from Stalin and his views of Hitler to a theoretical communist French state.
Trish Glose talks about it all with local boutique owner, Amy DiCostanzo. She opened Papillon Rouge after working in a boutique in Arizona. She was told it wouldn't make it, but didn't let that stop her. She now has two stores under her belt, with the help of a partner. The two talk about their love of animals, why the library can be dangerous at night, and some marital advice Amy says worked for a friend.
I recently interviewed my good friend, John DiCostanzo. He’s a father, a business-owner, a musician, has a girlfriend, and managed to lose 80 pounds so far in his health journey. In this interview John and I chat about some of his life, where he grew up, the things he’s involved in, and the stressors and events that lead to his health issues and weight gain up to nearly 330 pounds. Learn about what lead him to finally turning his life around while maintaining all of these things he’s involved in. It’s a long interview and well-worth the time to hear our deep-dive into what makes John a true inspiration. If you want to learn more about Deathcode, check out: Bandcamp Facebook
A lifelong love of cycling and hatred of hills prompted serial entrepreneur Don DiCostanzo to co-found Pedego Electric Bikes in 2008 with his best friend Terry Sherry. Starting with his own capital and no experience in the bicycling industry, Don parlayed his automotive industry experience and entrepreneurial know-how to build the best electric bike company. And today, Pedego is the #1 electric bike brand in the U.S. according to Navigant Research. Don is here to share more of his endeavors.
Trish Glose sits down with Paisan's Pizzeria & Bistro to talk about the restaurant business, how his family got to the states and the reason he made the trek to the West Coast. Life hasn't always been easy for Vinny and he talks about how his wife got sick and his oldest son ended up in prison. There are also a lot of laughs and fun chats about the meatball wedge.
Many people know Len DiCostanzo from his years at Autotask and Datto. Now he’s out on his own, helping IT consultants under the moniker MSP Toolkit. Len is a huge fan of ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) and best practices. He’s also dedicated to models that focus on recurring revenue. I ran into Len at the NexGen Conference and Expo in December. We sat in on each others’ sessions and took notes about each others’ advice. We mostly agree on best practices! A mainstay of the channel community, Len provides thought leadership and best practice guidance to technology channel vendors, Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and other Business Technology Service Providers (BTSPs). Most recently, Len was SVP of Channel Development at Datto where he focused on helping partners drive recurring revenue with Datto’s cloud-based solution portfolio. Len was with Autotask for a decade prior to Autotask being acquired by Vista Equity Partners for the second time, and merging with Datto in December 2017. You can find him at MSPToolkit.com – where he helps both vendors and MSPs. He helps MSPs get the right processes and procedures in place. He helps vendors find a broader audience in the MSP space. Watch the interview: Len is very well steeped in the ITIL best practices for ITSM (IT Service Management). In this interview, he gives some great guidance about how you approach problems (or are they incidents?) with clients. As you’ll see, Len’s a firm believer that our industry is better off when more of us follow these best practices. Len has a few introductory offers. Contact him (email is in the video) to find out more about how you can engage him. Listen to the Interview (mp3)

Don DiCostanzo is Co-Founder of Pedego Electric Bikes. After 30 years in the automotive world, Don started an electric bicycle shop in Newport Beach, California. This was a labor of love. Over time, he developed an interest in electric cycling and tried to find quality electric bikes for his bicycle shop. His frustration with existing suppliers led him to contact his friend and future Pedego partner Terry Sherry. In 2008, the two men co-founded Pedego Electric Bikes, where quality, innovation, and customer service are among the top core values of the company. *** For Show Notes, Key Points, Contact Info, Resources Mentioned, & the Fabulous 4 Questions on this episode visit here: Don DiCostanzo Interview. ***

In the last episode, the audio on the interview with Vincent DiCostanzo was a little low and a little wonky. So I tinkered a little bit more and hope it sounds better (I think it does), so I'm reuploading the interview again, mostly because I loved talking to Vincent so much.
