IT the Proper Way™—with Jim Smith
I loved Jim's tagline, "IT the Proper Way™," and what a great topic to discuss—I totally love it when a tagline can have a slight double meaning, given his company's name: Proper Sky.
After a recent episode with Katherine Gray, she recommended that I speak with Jim, and Jim graciously accepted the invitation. There are so many things to talk about in the realm of building an MSP but I wanted to hear from Jim and his thoughts on The Proper Way™!
Stoked to have you on the livestream this week, Jim!
