Hosted by longtime IT business owner Marvin Bee, aka Uncle Marv, the IT Business Podcast delivers practical business advice, real-world lessons, candid conversations, and industry insights to help MSP owners, IT service providers, IT consultants, system administrators, and technology professionals run their businesses better, smarter, and faster.

Hear from experienced MSP owners, IT business leaders, industry experts, and technology vendors about what works, what doesn’t, and what it takes to build a stronger IT business. Get an honest look at industry trends, vendor claims, emerging technologies, and the decisions that affect your customers, your team, and your bottom line.

Uncle Marv’s IT Business Podcast: Practical Business Advice for MSPs and IT Professionals
TechCon Unplugged Hits the Road (EP 824)

TechCon Unplugged is reinventing itself for 2025, and Paco Lebron joins Uncle Marv to share the inside scoop-along with hard-won lessons on standardizing MSP operations, navigating vendor choices, and building true IT community.

Uncle Marv welcomes back Paco Lebron for an episode packed with honest MSP talk, laughs, and a fresh take on community events. Hear why TechCon Unplugged is hitting the road this year, moving away from the big annual gathering to a more intimate, city-based tour designed to spark real connections and practical conversations. Paco pulls back the curtain on the challenges of standardizing IT stacks-swapping Araknis for Unify, wrestling with BYOD headaches, and the never-ending quest to make operations smoother for both clients and techs.

They don’t shy away from the tough stuff: burnout, the grind of podcasting, and the flood of industry events that can leave even the most seasoned MSPs overwhelmed. Marv and Paco trade stories about Microsoft’s nonprofit licensing shake-up, the art of recurring revenue, and why sometimes you just have to make the hard call on legacy clients and products. Personal moments shine through, from family health updates to the latest Florida Man gator encounter, reminding us that behind every business is a real human story.
