The rise of IT generalists is becoming increasingly significant as the industry grapples with a growing talent gap. A recent report by Auvik reveals that a staggering 78% of IT professionals feel that work-related stressors hinder their ability to improve their skills, with 60% experiencing burnout. As baby boomers retire at an accelerated pace, the workload is shifting to senior employees, intensifying stress and workload issues. The report highlights the necessity for IT professionals to possess a broad range of knowledge across various IT functions, emphasizing the integration of artificial intelligence and automation to alleviate these challenges.Managed service providers (MSPs) are facing heightened security demands, yet there are concerns about whether clients are allocating their budgets effectively. A series of market reports indicate that organizations are managing an average of 45 cybersecurity tools, which calls for a streamlined approach to security controls. The landscape of cybersecurity is evolving, with a notable shift towards generative AI and the need for comprehensive strategies for machine identity and access management. MSPs are encouraged to help clients prioritize security investments based on risk rather than simply increasing spending.Recent product announcements from companies like Scion AG, Huntress, and Cisco reflect the industry's response to these challenges. Scion AG has launched Scion Guard360, a cybersecurity solution aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises, while Huntress introduced a sensitive data mode to aid compliance with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. Cisco's Meraki for Government solution has achieved FedRAMP authorization, underscoring the importance of compliance in enhancing security for federal agencies. These developments highlight the trend towards automation and AI-driven solutions in the security sector.The backlash against Broadcom's acquisition of VMware is resulting in significant financial gains for competitors like Nutanix and Scale Computing. Nutanix reported a 16% revenue increase, driven by customers seeking alternatives to VMware, while Scale Computing experienced a remarkable 400% growth in enterprise demand. This shift in buying behavior indicates that organizations are actively looking for new solutions, presenting an opportunity for IT consultants to guide clients through the migration process. As the market evolves, understanding alternatives to VMware could provide a competitive advantage for service providers. Four things to know today00:00 IT Generalists on the Rise: Auvik Report Highlights Burnout, Skills Gaps, and AI's Role04:32 MSPs Face Rising Security Demand—But Are Clients Spending in the Right Places? 08:51 Huntress, Cisco, and Cyan AG Roll Out New Security Features—Here's Why It Matters11:14 Big Wins for Nutanix and Scale Computing as VMware Customers Make Their Move  Supported by:  https://syncromsp.com/  Event: : https://www.nerdiocon.com/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

In this week's episode, Beau sits down with metal artist and part-time attorney, Alisyn Palla of Meraki Metalworks. She takes us through her unconventional journey from a 16-year career in high-stakes business litigation to discovering her passion for welding and creative metalwork. Alisyn shares the story behind the name “Meraki,” a spin on the Greek word “Meraki,” which means doing something with your heart, soul, and full creative energy. She talks candidly about facing her initial fears of failure, the humble beginnings of her very first Harbor Freight welder, and how she slowly pivoted from the legal world to metal art—ultimately finding a new sense of fulfillment and a thriving creative business. Alisyn's approach is deeply rooted in experimentation—what she affectionately calls “FAFO” (fool around and find out). She illustrates how that process has led to stunning, large-scale art pieces that beautify both public spaces and private galleries, while teaching her invaluable lessons about resilience and problem solving. Throughout the conversation, Alisyn highlights her investment in learning through hands-on workshops (like those hosted by Stephanie Hoffman, Sosa Metalworks, and Bailey Industrial) and the power of building relationships at events like Fabtech. She also reveals her passion for giving back: from speaking at local high schools and AWS chapters to empowering others—especially women—to explore the vast opportunities in welding and fabrication.  Memorable Quotes • “My worst day in the shop is still better than my best day as a litigation attorney.” • “Every project is literally a puzzle. You figure out the pieces, make them, and glue it all together.” • “There's no such thing as failure—only lessons learned for the next project.” Resources & Mentions • Meraki Metalworks • Website: merakimetalworks.net • Instagram: @meraki.metal.works • Facebook & TikTok: meraki.metal.works • Workshops & Events • Underground Metal Works @underground_metal_works • Sosa Metalworks (Las Vegas) • Bailey Industrial's Metal Shaping Workshop • Fabtech Conference (Networking & Industry Trends) • Book Recommendation: • The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron Connect with Alisyn • Instagram: @meraki.metal.works • Contact Form: merakimetalworks.net Thank You To Our Trusted Partners Upgrade your plasma cutter to a Thermacut EX-TRAFIRE - https://foxly.link/KnrZrx  Learn more about the Lincoln Electric Sprinter 180 Si - https://foxly.link/taIiwU  Connect with Beau Weld App @beaudidit Instagram @beaudiditwelding Email - ⁠⁠Beauw@weld.com Download the weld app today⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linktr.ee/WeldDotCom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

New Zealand-born Kallisto is steadily making a name for herself with ear-catching sets crafted for progressive house purveyors. Since relocating to Melbourne, it's a skill that's not gone unnoticed, landing her on lineups alongside the likes of Hernan Cattaneo, Kasper Koman, Eelke Kleijn, GMJ & Matter, Subandrio and more.

Most recent release ‘Meraki', on the Almar imprint, is a big slice of dancefloor fodder, hinting at what's to come from the young producer. Couple that with a growing Youtube channel featuring live Kallisto mixes, and all signs point towards an artist to keep tabs on. 

 On this Balance Selections mix, her ability to craft compelling stories are on full display. Featuring tracks from Hernan Cattaneo, Kostas Outta Agustin Peros and more, it's vintage progressive filled with melodic drama and spacious euphoria that is perfect for getting lost in. @kallisto_music

Summary of Arturo Marin's Transformation Journey: From Salesperson to Successful Leader Early Career Challenges Arturo Marin, the Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) of cast.ai, shares his remarkable transformation journey from being a talented salesperson to a successful leader. In the early stages of his career, Marin reflects on his time at SAP, where he was initially successful due to his "take-charge" personality. However, his inability to accept feedback and criticism from others led to a significant issue - his entire team quit. This critical moment forced Marin to realize the importance of adaptability and humility in leadership. Mentorship and Growth Marin's awakening was a turning point in his career. He met his first mentor, Bob Ranaldi, at PTC, who taught him the value of selling by emphasizing the importance of process, prioritizing transparency, and adapting to new challenges. Marin was initially hesitant to learn from Ranaldi but eventually developed the skills to lead and retain top talent, resulting in increased revenue. Marin's growth continued under the guidance of another mentor, Helio Samora, who instilled in him the responsibility that comes with leadership. Samora encouraged Marin to take on leadership roles, which ultimately led to his appointment as the director of Latin America. Leadership Roles and Success Marin's success in Latin America caught the attention of Jason Eubanks, who approached him to lead the Latin America team for Meraki, a Cisco acquisition. Despite initial hesitation, Marin took on the challenge and led the team to success. Throughout his journey, Marin credits his mentors for providing valuable guidance and support, which helped him evolve into a high-potential CRO. His mentors, including Helio and Bob, taught him the importance of following a process, prioritizing transparency, and adapting to new challenges. Key Takeaways and Insights Marin's story highlights several critical factors that contributed to his success in sales and leadership: 1. Mentorship: Marin emphasizes the importance of choosing leaders and mentors who can guide and mentor young salespeople, providing valuable advice and feedback. 2. Continuous Learning: Marin believes that being open to learning from others, asking for help, and surrounding themselves with people who are better than them have been critical to their success. 3. Adaptability: Marin's ability to adapt to new challenges and learn from his mistakes has been instrumental in his growth as a leader. 4. Diversity: Marin's experience with diverse mentors and leadership styles has taught him the value of embracing different approaches, which has greatly benefited his development as a leader. In conclusion, Arturo Marin's transformation journey from a talented salesperson to a successful leader serves as a testament to the power of mentorship, diversity, and continuous learning. His story provides valuable insights for those looking to build a successful career in sales and leadership.

Money is a topic most of us are focused on all of the time. I remember when I first started Meraki; money and the thought of it was all consuming. How could I make more of it? Was it possible to create an income I could rely on to fund my life? What about a better lifestyle? Was money hard to make? It felt like it back then, and that only made my thoughts and obsession worse.  Most information on money I see comes from social media. I see a lot of people posting fast cash methods and quick wins for money, because, let's be honest, that's what most of us want nowadays - a quick win right?  But when you actually think about your lifestyle and money, it's really what lies beneath this. What does money provide you with that you're desiring or feeling like you're lacking right now? Security? Freedom? Safety?  On this week's podcast, we are talking all things money bliss with @hannamoneybliss. You won't want to miss it!

He spent 7 years in the US Navy as a Surface Warfare Officer. Josh transitioned from the Navy and ran operations and business development for a manufacturing company in his hometown of Syracuse, NY. It was two years of record growth there before Josh and wife Kassandra knew they wanted to join the digital revolution and went straight to the heart of it all in San Francisco where they first met best friends and current Nomad Capital Ventures business partners, Jered & Carly DaCosta, and family. Josh's first tech job was at early-stage HomeSuite, think Airbnb for monthly furnished rentals (before Airbnb started doing it) – he ran all things automation on the supply side. His love for building automation tools saw him on to Cisco Meraki, a growth business unit powering Cisco's current strategy. He built a team of technical program managers and drove several strategic data projects across the organization. Concurrent with his time at Meraki, Josh earned his MBA from The Wharton School as a double major in Business Analytics and Joint Marketing and Operations Management. In 2020, the pandemic enabled remote work and Josh & Kass knew they would go straight to the Beaches of Jax, FL – originally their first Navy duty station and where they got engaged, now a new homebase for them and their four kids. They executed in rapid succession four deals, two syndicated, and bid farewell to their W-2's to fully focus on their business and family. As of 2023, NCV collectively has $60MM under management and their hospitality brand, Nomad Hospitality, has almost 100 listings.

Ever wondered why Meraki posts about skincare brands?  Well, this week we are diving into exactly why we love our skincare products and services, where this niche began to develop and why Meraki is never stingy when it comes to promoting other businesses.  I used to hear all the time, ‘Don't share people in your stories without having an agreement to promote one another,' as if it were a badge of honor to be highlighting another business on our pages. Living in fear of promoting one another because what if someone decided to buy from them instead of me?  I don't believe that sharing other people and businesses in our stories is a bad idea. Instead, I like to think about it like this…  Aren't I working with these people because I believe in their brand?  Aren't I developing content and promoting them through their own platforms anyhow?  As I promote, aren't I helping expand their businesses as well as my own?  That feels abundant to me, whereas the first mindset always felt like scarcity - what do you think?  Learn more about your ad choices.

When I think back on how we got started with Meraki, it feels like it was centuries ago. I look at that older version of myself and I understand now why my path needed to be designed the way it was - without it I know I wouldn't be able to hold the amount of space that I have for my clients the way that I do now. I would have reached capacity and continued to push, without getting the support I needed which in return would leave me burnout and unfulfilled financially, mentally, physically etc.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Join me this week for an interview with the Owner of the @themakeuphairco, Heather. Heather shares her story of shifting her business in 2020 to work better for her lifestyle, she also shares her inside scoop on how to create a skincare regime that supports your makeup routine. Since many of my clients are in the beauty industry, I love getting opinions of others when it comes to controversial topics. Such as, botox, fillers, caking on make up, etc.  @themakeuphairco, owner Heather shares her honest opinion all of these topics, in tomorrow episode. I find this is really important for Meraki to touch on as social media managers. We are constantly seeing clients comparing themselves, wanting to change their bodies or faces to fit in with the status quo - I don't believe that aging is bad - therefore I believe everyone should embody their age, never needing to change how they look, in order to get better clients. Especially something that could have an impact on your body for YEARS to come.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
