Send us a text

In this flavorful and thoughtful conversation from Pax8 Beyond 2025, Joey Pinz sits down with Louis Bagdonas, a leader at Moovila, to explore how cooking, culture, and clarity shape both personal growth and project management in the MSP world.

The episode opens with culinary banter — from turkey veal meatballs and single-source olive oil to Lithuanian heritage and the power of finishing what you start. But this isn’t just about recipes — it’s about how life in and out of the kitchen reveals the habits that lead to success.

Louis shares Moovila's mission to help MSPs take control of project management before things go off the rails. He breaks down how MSPs can assess their internal readiness, define what a “project” really means, and avoid letting one person carry the entire load.

The conversation shifts to family, discipline, and mindset — from Louis’s decision to quit drinking, to making space for impact and balance. Whether you’re managing projects or personal pivots, this episode is about owning your process and finding satisfaction in both the work and the results.

🚀 Top 3 Highlights:

1. 🧰 Why MSPs need a project definition framework — not just software
2. 🧠 How discipline helped Louis quit drinking and focus on family
3. 🍝 The surprising leadership lessons hiding in a meatball recipe
