Season one of <em>MSP Legends<\/em> gives viewers insight into the unique nature of the managed service provider (MSP) community and the IT channel from the perspective of Rob Rae, Pax8 Corporate Vice President of Community and Ecosystems. The first episode is now available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Pax8\">Pax8 YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur desire for this documentary is to capture the essence of this ecosystem of partners, marketplaces and vendors as we all move in the same direction toward helping the world\u2019s small and medium businesses with their IT needs,\u201d said Rae. \u201cWe wanted to deliver a new approach and a fresh look into what makes this community different. I spend a lot of time with MSPs and partners, and I wanted to show all the amazing work and collaboration that goes on daily through my own eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The global small and midsized business (SMB) IT spending market size was $243.32 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $261.29 billion by 2033, according to a Business Research Insights <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessresearchinsights.com\/market-reports\/smb-it-spending-market-103394#:~:text=The%20global%20SMB%20IT%20Spending%20Market%20size%20was,rate%20%28CAGR%29%20of%20about%204.49%25%20during%20forecast%20period.\">report<\/a>.

Future seasons will be shown through the eyes of other industry legends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been part of the MSP community for nearly 20 years, and I am so excited to see a video series focused on us, featuring the legend, Rob Rae, that showcases the way we do business, support our SMB clients and collaborate together,\u201d said Corey Kirkendoll, President and CEO of 5K Technical Services. \u201cPax8 takes the lead in innovation and now they\u2019re taking the lead in show business by putting our IT channel on the map with this cool documentary series.
