from The MSP Sales Podcast · host Brian Gillette

Most MSP owners don’t struggle because they lack technical skill. They struggle because they’re stuck operating instead of leading. In Episode 35 of The MSP Sales Podcast, Brian sits down with serial entrepreneur and MSP growth strategist Shawn Freeman to unpack what it really takes to transition from hands-on operator to visionary CEO.

In this episode, you’ll hear: → Why MSP owners stall when they stay in operator mode → How AI and automation should actually be integrated into your firm → The leadership shift required to build something scalable → What resilient, future-ready MSPs are doing differently If you want to stop being the bottleneck and start building an MSP that scales with intention, this episode lays out the path. _____________________________________________________ Learn all about Feel-Good MSP and our end-to-end MSP sales training, growth and development program at: www.FeelGoodMSP.com Recent News: Brian's book "How To Sell a Sh*tload of Managed Services (without selling your soul)", has just been released in audiobook format!
