#676 Pax8 Beyond-Chance Weaver: 🧠 AI Adoption Without Burnout: The MSP Leader’s Balancing Act
In this thoughtful and grounded conversation recorded at Pax8 Beyond 2025, Joey Pinz sits down with Chance Weaver, a seasoned MSP veteran and executive at High Wire Networks, to unpack the intersection of growth, wellness, and sustainable leadership in tech.
Chance shares his personal journey through multiple acquisitions, the burnout that followed, and how introspection and intentionality helped him realign with what really matters. They talk openly about the toll that tech leadership can take — especially in the fast-paced world of MSPs — and how High Wire’s growth strategy aims to be bold without breaking people.
This episode also explores the High Wire partner model, how they scale complex cybersecurity services like SOC-as-a-Service, and the importance of enabling MSPs to lead with their brand, not the vendor’s. Chance emphasizes that the secret isn’t more tools — it’s more clarity.
If you’re running an MSP or leading a tech team, this episode will resonate. It’s about listening to yourself, empowering your partners, and knowing when it’s time to let go — or gear up again.

- 🧠 Burnout recovery, reflection, and the value of stepping back
- 🔒 High Wire’s scalable partner model for delivering cybersecurity services
