Gartner predicts that by 2027, artificial intelligence (AI) will be responsible for half of all business decisions, either through full automation or partial augmentation. This shift is driven by the increasing pressure on technology companies to deliver returns on their AI investments, with small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) rapidly adopting these tools. However, a significant skills gap remains, as 95% of SMBs report needing more training to effectively utilize AI. The report emphasizes the importance of human oversight to ensure data quality and governance, suggesting that companies prioritizing AI literacy training could see revenue increases of up to 20%.Despite the enthusiasm for AI, a study from Stanford University reveals that professionals prefer using AI for automating mundane tasks rather than more complex responsibilities. The research indicates a strong desire for human control in the workplace, highlighting a disconnect between the tasks companies assign to AI and what workers actually want to automate. This gap presents an opportunity for managed service providers (MSPs) to bridge the divide by focusing on human-centered workflow design and aligning AI deployment with employee expectations.In the realm of productivity tools, OpenAI and Anthropic are making strides with new integrations that enhance user interaction with AI. OpenAI is testing a feature that allows users to analyze emails and manage schedules through ChatGPT, while Anthropic's CLAWD code has improved its toolchain for developers. These advancements signify a shift in how end users will expect to interact with their tools, pushing providers to adapt their roles from managing infrastructure to managing intelligence and intent.Broadcom's recent changes to VMware's licensing model have raised concerns among smaller customers, with reports of cost increases significantly impacting their budgets. While Broadcom claims that many of its top customers are adopting the VMware Cloud Foundation, the dissatisfaction among smaller clients indicates a need for IT providers to offer migration services and alternative solutions. The current landscape presents a critical moment for providers to assist clients in navigating these changes, ensuring they find resilient and appropriately priced platforms that meet their needs. Four things to know today 00:00 From Hype to Help: AI Decision-Making Surges, But Poor Guidance Risks Undermining Gains05:23 OpenAI and Anthropic Expand AI Agents Into Daily Workflow—IT Providers Must Now Govern Behavior, Not Just Systems07:44 Efficiency Is the New MSP Battleground: Martello and WatchGuard Highlight Operational ROI10:35 Broadcom's VMware Pivot Forces MSPs to Choose Sides: Enterprise Loyalty or SMB Exodus This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by: https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/https://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Todd Ellis, a financial advisor and Strategic Coach® veteran, shares how a 15-day sailing voyage—completely unplugged—taught him the power of taking time off. Discover why stepping away to develop new skills builds confidence, strengthens your team, and fuels unexpected growth. The secret? A Self-Managing Company® that thrives when you disconnect. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:How Todd discovered his passion for financial services—and why helping people drives his business.The surprising ways Todd's company creates real impact for clients and team members.Why taking true time off accelerates success.The importance of making sure you have the capacity to handle a situation (before you're in it).How Strategic Coach helps entrepreneurs and their companies grow. Show Notes: The more free time you take, the more your income will grow. Taking free time flies in the face of workaholic culture, where burnout is worn as a badge of honor. Gaining a new capability gives you a new sense of confidence. To take time off, you must have a company that can develop and grow while you're away. Once you have your own company, you get to decide how you're going to serve the public. Many people measure their success by how many clients they have, but having fewer clients allows you to really invest in yourself. Taking a break from technology allows you to be with your own thoughts and experience what's around you. A Free Day™ is a 24-hour period that's uninterrupted by any work-related activities. When you step inside Strategic Coach, you get to be surrounded by like-minded entrepreneurs who are eager to support your growth. Entrepreneurs share common issues, but every entrepreneur is unique. Resources:How Free Days Keep You On Your Side Of “The Line” What Is A Self-Managing Company®? Unique Ability®

The Unauthorized episode fires from the hip—Ray's war with a price-gouging mini fridge sets the tone for a no-filter, no-safety-net ride through food taboos, tech failures, and philosophical bullshit. Rem and Randy argue the ethics of eating pets, debate whether “all pets are food, but not all food is pets,” and spiral into tales of questionable school lunches, bat meat, and the global weirdness of what people eat when nobody's looking. If it walks, crawls, or flies, someone's tried to eat it here. In between, hotel tech goes full “user hostile,” Airbnb drama erupts, and Ray tries to convince everyone that California is paradise (spoiler: not everyone buys it). Randy pitches an insane AI-driven Dickman archive that nobody asked for but now somehow must exist. But it's not just chaos for chaos's sake. Real talk breaks through—layoffs, promotions, wrestling dreams deferred, and personal failures all get dragged into the light, with the crew exposing a little vulnerability behind the relentless jokes. If you want a “safe” show, go elsewhere. If you want friendship forged in chaos, dumb ideas, and hard-earned wisdom, this is the only podcast that delivers.

Before you hire, launch, or invest, there's one number you need to know: your future break-even point. It's more than a “boring” accounting term; it's one of the most powerful tools you have in your toolkit as a business owner and CEO.  In this episode, Danielle Hayden, reformed corporate CFO and CEO of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., flips the script on how entrepreneurs look at their break-even point by turning it from a financial checkmark into a forward-thinking strategy tool. She walks through how to use it as a launchpad for smarter decisions and puts you in control of your numbers.  Key Takeaways:  Break-Even as a Planning Tool: Knowing your break-even point helps you look forward, not backward, and make strategic choices with confidence.  Know Your Break-Even Before Big Decisions: Calculate how your expenses will change first and then what new revenue you'll need to cover them. Turn Your New Break-Even into Your Revenue Goal: Add a 10–15% profit margin to your break-even number to set a clear, sustainable monthly revenue target. Create a Margin of Safety: If you're not ready to make a leap, build savings in advance so you're financially prepared to take on new expenses with confidence. Numbers Beat Guesswork Every Time: Ditch the gut-based decisions and use this method to plan investments without fear or uncertainty. Topics Discussed: What is Break-Even Point in Business & How to Use It (00:50 – 01:57) How to Calculate Your New Break-Even Number (01:58 – 04:41) Real World Example of Calculating a New Break-Even (04:41 - 06:08) Saving for an Investment & Margin of Safety (06:08 - 07:11) Using Break-Even to Plan Your Next Business Move (07:11 - 08:35)   Related Episode: Ep. 222 | From Burnout to Balance: Redefining Entrepreneurial Success Through Break-Even Analysis with Delanie Fischer of Self-Helpless Podcast   Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://www.kickstartaccountinginc.com/book    Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc

Richard Walsh's journey from the military to entrepreneurship reveals a powerful philosophy rooted in resilience, strategy, and intentional leadership. After experiencing both remarkable success and total financial collapse, Walsh rebuilt his life and business through focus, discipline, and system-driven thinking. He now helps business owners reclaim their time and profits by teaching them how to concentrate on their most valuable tasks—the "Owner's 5%"—while building teams and systems to handle the rest. His method emphasizes working smarter, not harder, and designing businesses that serve both professional and personal goals. Walsh also stresses the importance of planning with the end in mind. By starting every business with a clear exit strategy, owners can make better hiring decisions, evaluate opportunities more effectively, and align their actions with long-term outcomes. His approach is especially effective for trades and service-based industries, where improved communication and process automation—often using underutilized tools like AI—can lead to significant financial and operational transformation. His client case studies show consistent results: higher revenues, fewer hours worked, and dramatically improved quality of life. If you're a business owner feeling overwhelmed or stuck, Richard Walsh is offering a complimentary one-on-one coaching call to help you tackle your biggest business challenge right now. This is a chance to get personalized insight from someone who's helped countless entrepreneurs find clarity, regain control, and scale smarter.

Welcome to this classic episode. Classics are my favorite episodes from the past 10 years, published once a month. These are N of 1 conversations with N of 1 people. There aren't many people like Cyan Banister. Her life story is remarkable. She was homeless at a young age, dropped out of high school, and five years ago she suffered an extremely rare stroke. Yet, in spite of everything, she is one of the most optimistic and curious people you can hope to meet. Cyan is also one of the great angel investors of this era, having invested early in SpaceX, Uber, Postmates, and Deepmind to name a few winners. She became the first female investing partner at Peter Thiel's Founders Fund and now invests at Long Journey Ventures. Our conversation is as much about investing as it is about the essence of life and how connecting with that will help us in our professional pursuits. It is also full of awesome stories about people and companies like SpaceX and Bill Murray. Please enjoy this great conversation with Cyan Banister.
