Servosity: rock solid backups done for you ➡️ https://bit.ly/43Gd3hI
What happens when a visionary tech founder has to throw out his own business model to grow? This episode with Matthew Held, CEO of Manawa Networks, is a brutally honest roadmap through business reinvention, founder separation, and the uphill battle to learn real sales.
Matthew shares the journey from a failed Uber-style IT model to building a proactive MSP that thrives on process and people. He opens up about the hard lessons, including parting ways with a longtime business partner, facing a sales function that wasn't producing, and how building structure was the only path to growth.
