MSP Journey: Kyle Kenyon, The Pro Tech Guy (EP 914)

Uncle Marv's IT Business Podcast (Real Talk for IT Pros & MSPs)

Uncle Marv welcomes back Kyle Kenyon, “The Pro Tech Guy,” for a lively, no-fluff conversation about cybersecurity, running an MSP, and working smarter — not harder. Kyle opens up about his origins, growing his space, and moving away from “man in the van” operations toward a more structured MSP approach.

They dive into key challenges like client education, tool overload, and balancing personal passion projects with business demands. From SonicWall’s mess to the importance of MFA and password management, this episode delivers tactical IT talk and fun anecdotes alike. Kyle’s humor and real-life stories will resonate with every tech who’s ever had to rebuild a client relationship — or a website — from scratch.
