Manage episode 485381433 series 2976974
🧩 What do massive jigsaw puzzles, life insurance, and managed IT services have in common? Systems, structure, and strategic patience. In this captivating episode, Joey Pinz sits down with longtime Kaseya exec and MSP insider Max Pruger to unpack a life built on precision and perseverance. From building a 42,000-piece Disney puzzle (even though he hates Disney) to scaling an MSP before the term existed, Max shares powerful stories of endurance and insight.
🚫 Max debunks major myths around life insurance—revealing how Walt Disney, J.C. Penney, and Ray Kroc used it to launch empires. He also dives into the misunderstood world of compliance, cyber risk, and why MSPs are the silent backbone of business continuity.
🥩 Oh, and he's all in on carnivore. No rice. No nonsense.
🔑 Top 3 Highlights:
- 🧠 Why cash value life insurance is America’s most misunderstood asset
- 🔍 What compliance really means for MSPs in 2025 and beyond
- 🍖 The surprising logic behind the carnivore diet and how Max lost 35 lbs
This one’s packed with sharp insight, entrepreneurial grit, and plenty of laughs.
