In this episode of Now That’s IT: Stories of MSP Success, host Chris Massey sits down with Craig Fisher and David Izen of Technica Solutions to uncover how a chance meeting—and a well-timed kebab—sparked a complete transformation of their MSP business.

Craig and David share how they moved beyond the limitations of a technical-first approach to build a thriving, growth-driven MSP. They dive into the hard decisions, including shedding old habits, embracing EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), joining peer groups, and making bold moves to scale their business.

Listeners will gain insights into:

  • Why purely technical focus limits growth and how to shift to a strategic mindset
  • How EOS provided the structure and accountability to drive transformation
  • The role of peer groups and industry connections in fueling business growth
  • Key takeaways for MSP owners and leaders navigating today’s challenges

Whether you’re an MSP veteran or just starting out, Craig and David’s story is a testament to the power of partnership, resilience, and smart business strategy.

Tune in to discover how Technica turned a near-stagnation into an inspiring success story—and why “it takes two” to truly transform.

Let us help you unlock your business's full potential.
