Description

Uncle Marv hosts a special 10-year reunion with Chad Kempt of Fast Computers to revisit their classic “Man in the Van vs. MSP” debate and explore how the world of solo techs and small MSPs has evolved. They dig into shifting vendor landscapes, realistic service models, and why being lean, documented, and relationship-driven still wins in today’s managed services space.

This episode offers hard-won insights into scaling without losing personal touch, crafting an exit-ready business, balancing SLAs, and surviving the vendor squeeze. Whether you’re a solo tech hustling daily or running a 20-person MSP, this candid, real-world conversation reminds everyone that good service is good service—no matter the size.
