  • #692 Rewst:Flow-Mendy Green: 🛠️ From Help Desk to Industry Catalyst

    Send us Fan Mail

    What happens when a tech whiz with a passion for helping others builds a movement instead of a business? In this compelling episode, Joey Pinz sits down with Mendy Green—founder of Rising Tide and a key force behind MSPGeek—to explore his remarkable evolution from accounts receivable clerk to tech strategist, community builder, and nonprofit leader.

    Mendy opens up about the importance of personal motivation, the pitfalls of forcing discipline, and why community matters more than profit. From organizing an affordable, vendor-neutral MSP conference to leading by example in an industry full of silos, Mendy shares what drives him: responsibility to others. He also reflects on his love for music, the power of perspective, and how Krav Maga training taught him more about consistency than any business book ever could.

    🎯 Top 3 Highlights:

    1. How MSPGeek grew from a tech support forum to a national conference platform
    2. Why Mendy built Rising Tide to serve—not to scale
    3. The real link between perspective and personal transformation

    🎧 Tune in for a story of service, humility, and quiet leadership.
