Podcast Overview
🌟 Episode Summary:
In this authentic and motivating episode, Joey Pinz sits down with Marquel McDowell to talk about bouncing back, showing up, and doing the work that matters.
Marquel reflects on his rocky start in the MSP world—where poor culture and zero support nearly pushed him out of the industry. Fast-forward to today, and he’s thriving at an MSP that values him, surrounded by a community that feels like home. From Roost Flow to GeekCon, Marquel shares how automation sparked his curiosity, how community helped him grow, and why data—not gut—guides his decisions.
He also opens up about fatherhood, the mental benefits of early gym sessions, and the subtle but vital difference between managers and true leaders. With humor and humility, Marquel reminds us that success isn’t about perfection—it’s about effort, energy, and loving the process.
🎯 Top 3 Highlights:
- Why automation is the gateway to smarter, less stressful work
- Marquel’s definition of leadership—and why he’s a reluctant but capable leader
- How consistency and fatherhood shape his motivation

Discipline. How does it play a role in your life? How does it drive your decisions? Do you have too much or too little? Every profession, hobby, or passion requires a level of discipline. I have used it in weight loss (+130 lbs.), family death, and found a +25 year business. Am I an expert? Absolutely not! Please join me, as I speak to interesting people and find out how discipline affects their career, life, goals, and decisions.
