Uncle Marv interviews Andre Gilmore from ConnectWise about the IT Nation Evolve peer groups for managed service providers (MSPs). Andre explains the unique value proposition of these peer groups, which focus on both personal and professional growth by fostering close relationships and an environment of trust where members hold each other accountable. The secret sauce is the strong bonds formed through quarterly two-day in-person meetings that include social activities. Members review business metrics, get advice from peers, and define their own success goals that the group helps them achieve.
