But on the other hand: This site is designed for open dialog. You're permitted to flame the author (that's me). Instead of flooding my voicemail with your industry favorites, feel free to post them here. And so the voicemails continue. A few fans of David S.

Since this is a blog -- where the reader comments often fill in gaps left by the author, hint, hint -- I invite readers to weigh in with other MSPs-turned-educators they're tracking. No need to email me with pundit names. Just list 'em here. All the best, -jp I suspect I’m going to take a few lumps today over the executive-turned-professor list above.

Can't wait to see what sort of wisdom he shares with partners on March 10th! j. :) We’re so excited to host Gary in our Tampa Learning Center – as a former ConnectWise partner, we’re also very excited about his new venture.
