      <itunes:summary>Still working with just one monitor? You could be losing hours of productivity every week. Switching between windows, juggling spreadsheets, and flipping between emails and video calls slows you down and increases mistakes.

In this episode of The IT Smart Guy Podcast, Tony Edwards explains why dual screens — and even ultrawide monitors — are one of the simplest, most cost-effective upgrades for small businesses.

What you’ll learn in this episode:
 • Why single-screen setups hold you back
 • How dual monitors can boost productivity by up to 42%
 • Real-world examples of businesses saving time and reducing errors
 • Pro tips for setting up dual screens properly
 • Whether ultrawide monitors might be a smarter option for you
 • How to calculate the ROI of a dual screen investment

Don’t let limited screen space limit your business. A second monitor could pay for itself in days, not months.

      <itunes:summary>Welcome back to The IT Smart Guy Podcast — and welcome to Season 3!
In this episode, we’re cutting straight to the question most MSPs avoid: Do clients really care about swanky offices and designer chairs… or do they just want results?

We unpack the age-old image vs results debate in the MSP world, talk about what SME clients actually value (hint: it’s not your espresso machine), and share how Bitsmart recently won a key contract over bigger, flashier competitors — by focusing on what matters: trust, clarity, and delivery.

👉 What you’ll hear in this episode:
 • Why image isn’t everything in IT
 • What SMEs are really looking for in an MSP
 • A real Bitsmart client story that proves the point
 • Why a physical office might help — but won’t seal the deal
 • Our challenge to MSPs and business owners alike</itunes:summary>

Normally we would then go on to the Brain Dump… but instead I have a special treat in store… we have Mr Keith Blakemore-Noble joining us to talk a little bit about his journey in IT; and how he moved into the NLP and Hypnosis arena before moving on to talk about his upcoming book Antimanipulation.
