#805 MSSP Alert Live - Tony Pietrocola: 🍷 From Grape Stomping to Cyber: A Life of Passion & Grit

Send us a text

In this high-energy and entertaining episode, Joey Pinz sits down with cybersecurity founder and unabashed Italian-American storyteller Tony Pietrocola. From stomping grapes as a child to running an AI-driven security operations platform, Tony brings a rare blend of toughness, humor, and entrepreneurial clarity.
They jump from wine, cooking, and massive NFL bodies to college football, concussions, and how elite athletes are built differently. Tony shares what makes college football the real American spectacle—and why private equity is about to reshape the sport.
On the cybersecurity front, Tony breaks down the challenges MSPs face, why most still struggle with security, and how AgileBlue helps them build profitable, white-label practices without the overhead of running a SOC. He explains the three questions every MSP should ask a vendor, the rise of AI-assisted attacks, and why consolidation and greenfield opportunities are the biggest missed revenue streams.
The conversation ends with health, habit, and personal transformation—discussing Joey’s 130-lb weight loss, Tony’s daily 5 a.m. workouts, and the childhood structure that forged their work ethic.
