    Shootin' the Breeze with MSPs - Chris Pottrell

    Summary In this episode of Shootin' the Breeze with MSPs, Paul Croker interviews Chris Pottrell, the Managing Director of Nebula IT. They discuss topics such as AI, IT strategy, and the importance of cybersecurity in growing a business. Chris shares his journey in the MSP industry and emphasizes the value of IT communities and peer groups. The conversation concludes with Chris recommending the song 'Unfinished Sympathy' by Massive Attack for the podcast's Spotify playlist.
