[157] Looking Into The Mindset Of A Successful, Modern MSP

Robert Gibbons is Chief Revenue Officer at Aabyss, and Troy Midwood is the Chief Technology Officer. This interview was recorded with Richard Tubb live at Dattocon in Dublin in June 2024.

Robert and Troy shared their experiences in the IT sector, and explained why they believe it’s important to attend conferences such as Dattocon, and why they even bring along their intern!

Robert tells Richard what the MSP community means to him, the most valuable lesson he’s learned, and what he would do differently if he was to start an MSP again tomorrow.

Richard also asks Troy to share some advice for MSPs who are stuck in the mindset of ‘being a tech guy’, why modern MSP owners need to change their attitude to achieve longevity, and what was true when Troy started in the industry that’s still true today.

Putting Managed Service Providers back in control!
Richard Tubb has been a leader and keynote speaker in the MSP community for the last two decades. At the helm of media company and MSP advisory business Tubblog, Richard loves to showcase tech companies disrupting the industry, as well as shining a light on new tools you might not be aware of.

His long-running and successful interview-style show, TubbTalk, features fireside style chats with the CEOs and CTOs of these businesses, to dig deep into how they got started in the industry, what inspired them to start something new and what their advice would be to anyone who wants to do the same.

But it's not all tech focused! As a former MSP owner himself, Richard knows that there are many facets to being a business owner, which is why his guests reflect that too.

Previous topics include mental health, sales, marketing, business growth, productivity, customer service and more. Wondering why you should listen? Well, as one fan put it: "It's like eavesdropping on a conversation between two friends, who are sharing their knowledge and wisdom with each other. You learn while you're being entertained."
