Podcast

Evolved Radio

The MSP operations podcast. Real conversations about the challenges of running service delivery, managing teams, and scaling without losing your mind.

About the Show

Evolved Radio is where I talk about the real challenges of MSP operations. Not the vendor-sponsored talking points. Not the theory from people who've never run a service desk.

Episodes cover team management, KPI discipline, delegation, hiring, service delivery optimization, and everything in between. I bring on guests who've been in the trenches and have something practical to share.

If you manage people at an MSP, this podcast is for you.
