PODCAST | Now That’s It – A Mission to Protect: John McCoy’s Path to MSP Ownership
By N‑able
When John McCoy walked away from a high-paying corporate job, he wasn’t chasing freedom—he was answering a calling. In this episode, John shares how his commitment to helping others led him to launch MidSolv, an MSP rooted in community and built on trust. But it wasn’t until he caught a ransomware attack in real time that his purpose fully crystallized: protecting clients from the threats they didn’t see coming. From mandating a security upgrade for every customer—before they even asked—to shifting his entire client base to fully managed services, John’s story is one of bold leadership, cybersecurity-first thinking, and values-driven growth. Whether you’re an MSP owner rethinking your tech stack or an IT leader navigating risk and resilience, this episode offers a masterclass in leading with conviction—and securing what matters most.
