Need to Know podcast–Episode 338

A change of format for this episode. I recorded an interview with Andrew Bremner and Tim Stephinson around insurance for MSPs which I think provides a lot of value. Been a while since I have done an interview episode, so let me know what you think and whether you want to see more interviews like this? In the meantime, the news in the Microsoft Cloud never stops and I’ll bring you up to date with the latest as well.
