MSP Well: Mental Health for the Channel (978)
This conversation centers on one core theme: MSPs and channel partners should not have to struggle alone. Larry shares the vision for MSP Well as a dedicated mental health and wellness resource for MSPs, MSSPs, vendors, and media, with plans for education, referrals, and community-backed support across the channel.

Show Notes
We talk a lot about cybersecurity, tools, and MSP growth, but not nearly enough about what all that pressure does to the people running these businesses. If you run an MSP or work anywhere in the IT channel, this is one you don’t skip. From the floor at Zero Trust World, Larry Meador joins me to introduce MSP Well, a nonprofit built specifically to support the mental health and wellness of MSPs, vendors, and everyone in our ecosystem.
