If you're a Managed Service Provider (MSP) your challenges, opportunities and even the growth of your business can differ depending on the region of the world you work in. In this episode of State of Channel, Rob Rae interviews Mitesh Patel, Managing Director at Fifosys, CEO at Engage Property Technology, on the unique state of the MSP industry in the United Kingdom. The conversation covers everything from GDPR and M&A activity, to educating your clients and standing out in a crowded market.

Each MSP has a unique story about how they started their business, the challenges they've conquered, and their goals for the future. In this podcast Kevin Damghani of ITPartners+ dives into:

• How Kevin and his team made a successful transition from break-fix to MSP
• Future trends he believes MSPs need to adapt to
• Insights into why his business continues to grow and be successful
  
  

"Work/Life Balance". It's a term we've all heard many times, and in our digital and easily accessible world, it seems to be increasingly elusive to find. For Managed Service Providers, work/life balance is especially difficult, with clients expecting service and support 24/7, 365. 

In our 2019 State of the MSP Report we gathered insights from over 1,600 MSPs and found that 38% reported "Work/Life Balance" kept them up at night. So we decided it was time to dive deeper into the topic. In this episode we interview four leading MSPs and business owners, from three different countries, on their tactics and tips for finding balance in a busy life.
