Every MSP journey starts somewhere, often in the most unexpected ways. In this first episode of the MSP Growth Podcast, we sit down with Joe Goldstein, founder of Optimized Computer Solutions (OCSIT) and co-author of Tech or Lose Out, to dive into his path from Fortune 500 consultant to building a top-ranked MSP.
Joe shares his early struggles, the turning points that shaped his business, and the lessons he’s learned along the way—including how doubling down on a niche can transform an MSP’s growth trajectory.
In this episode, we cover:
- How Joe went from CIO to wiping viruses off home PCs (and why that was the best move he ever made)
- The real story behind his first six-figure MSP contract
- Why betting on yourself is the key to long-term success
- The power of specialization in growing an MSP
