#100 - I'm Comfortable. Why Would I Blow That Up? | BMK Vision Roundtable

A Chicago peer team. A confident new owner. One quiet sentence: "I'm comfortable. Why would I blow that up?" The room went silent. Josh and Gary use that moment as the opening for an honest conversation about the most expensive sentence in MSP ownership.

In this Roundtable, Josh Peterson and Gary Boyle break down the natural plateau-to-valley cycle every MSP hits, why inflation and attrition erode comfort even when you do nothing wrong, and how to know whether your real goal is growth - or protected stability.
