🚀 What does it take to build a successful technology company over 25 years, navigate mergers, develop future leaders, and remain committed to your people through every challenge?

In this episode of Joey Pinz Conversations, Joey sits down with MSP industry veteran Brian O’Shaughnessy to discuss entrepreneurship, leadership, succession planning, company culture, and the lessons learned from building a managed services business from the ground up.

Brian shares the emotional story of launching his company in 1999 with a young family, little money, and plenty of uncertainty. He reflects on the importance of peer groups, leadership development, communication, consistency, and why taking care of employees mattered more than maximizing an exit.
