In this episode, host Damien Stevens interviews Elliot Edge, who made the bold leap from oil & gas engineer to MSP CEO. With no prior tech experience, Elliot acquired a small 8-person MSP doing $2M in revenue and scaled it to over $16M with 90+ employees through seven strategic acquisitions. Elliot shares the frameworks, mindset, and leadership lessons behind his success—including why he doesn’t cut staff, how he integrates lean manufacturing into IT services, and the one mistake most MSPs keep making.
