What happens when economic chaos hits, but you're financially trapped by your own "responsible" planning? Victor lost his first business in 2008 because he had $2 million in net worth but couldn't access cash when he needed it most. When he rebuilt, he did something different. During the pandemic, when competitors were closing or taking on crushing debt, Victor was buying equipment at liquidation prices, forward-purchasing inventory before price spikes, and hiring top talent from failing businesses. In this episode, we explore how "playing it safe" with traditional financial planning can actually make your business more vulnerable during economic turbulence, and reveal the strategy that helped business owners not just survive but strategically thrive during some of the most uncertain economic times in a generation. Key Quote: "Everyone was playing defense, just trying to survive. Because of our financial position, we could play offense when nobody else could." What You'll Discover: How a salon owner lost two locations despite doing "everything the financial experts told me to do" (and what her competitor did differently to expand instead) The food distributor who used inflation as a competitive advantage while others got crushed by rising costs Why the fitness center owner with $500K in retirement accounts had to watch once-in-a-lifetime opportunities pass by How accessible capital creates strategic opportunism with reduced risk during economic volatility The 7 financial levers that separate businesses that merely survive from those that capture market share during downturns Perfect for: Business owners who want to build long-term wealth without being financially handcuffed when economic opportunities or challenges arise. Listen now to discover how to create certainty during uncertain times through financial preparation, not economic prediction. Ready to recession-proof your business?

This conversation delves into the intersection of quantum computing and cryptography, focusing on the implications of quantum computers for current encryption methods and the necessity for post-quantum cryptography. Dr. Dustin Moody from NIST discusses the threats posed by quantum computing, particularly through Shor's algorithm, and the ongoing efforts to develop new cryptographic standards that can withstand these threats. The discussion also covers the role of NIST in standardizing post-quantum algorithms, the mathematical challenges involved, and the importance of preparing businesses for the transition to these new systems. All opinions are of the individual scientist and do not reflect the opinions of NIST or the federal Government.Takeaways Quantum computers harness principles of quantum physics for computation. Shor's algorithm can efficiently factor large numbers, threatening RSA encryption. Post-quantum cryptography aims to develop algorithms resistant to quantum attacks. NIST is leading the effort to standardize post-quantum cryptographic algorithms. Lattice-based algorithms are promising for post-quantum cryptography due to their efficiency. Businesses must be proactive in transitioning to post-quantum cryptography. The Harvest Now, Decrypt Later threat highlights the urgency of transitioning. Quantum key distribution offers theoretically perfect security. Different cryptographic algorithms are needed for various applications and devices. The future of cryptography will rely on new mathematical challenges to ensure security.Keywordsquantum computing, cryptography, post-quantum cryptography, NIST, cybersecurity, Shor's algorithm, digital signatures, lattice-based algorithms, encryption, quantum threatsSubscribe to Breaking Math wherever you get your podcasts.

Monday's third hour.

How do you keep complex digital experiences running smoothly when every layer, from networks to cloud infrastructure to applications, can break in ways that frustrate customers and burn out IT teams? This question is at the heart of my conversation recorded live at Cisco Live in San Diego with Patrick Lin, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Observability at Splunk, now part of Cisco. In this episode, Patrick explains how observability has evolved far beyond simple monitoring and is becoming the nerve centre for digital resilience in a world where reactive alerts no longer cut it. We unpack how Splunk and Cisco ThousandEyes are now deeply integrated, giving teams a single source of truth that connects application behaviour, infrastructure health, and network performance, even across systems they do not directly control. Patrick also shares what these two-way integrations mean in practice: faster incident resolution, fewer blame games, and far less time wasted chasing false alerts. We explore how AI is enhancing this vision by cutting through the noise to detect real anomalies, correlate related events, and suggest root causes at a speed no human team could match. If your business depends on staying online and your teams are drowning in disconnected data, this conversation offers a glimpse into the next phase of unified observability and assurance. It might even help quiet the flood of alerts that keep IT professionals awake at night. How is your organisation tackling alert fatigue and rising complexity? Listen in and tell me what strategies you have found that actually work.

The AI revolution doesn't have to feel overwhelming for small business owners. In this enlightening conversation with branding expert Phil Palin, we explore how entrepreneurs can harness artificial intelligence as a productivity tool rather than viewing it as a threat to their business.Phil brings a refreshing perspective as someone who wears two professional hats – running a branding agency for 14 years and working as a content creator with nearly 400 YouTube videos under his belt. His journey into content creation happened almost accidentally when a client commented on how entertaining his tutorial videos were, eventually leading to partnerships with over 100 brands, including Adobe.The heart of our discussion centers on practical AI implementation strategies that won't leave you feeling like you're racing against time. "I get irked when people say if you don't jump on the AI bandwagon now, you're going to be too late," Phil explains. "I just don't think there is a too late." This permission to approach AI at your own pace sets the tone for a conversation focused on sustainable integration rather than panic-driven adoption.We dive deep into Phil's actual workflow for using AI tools, revealing the critical missing step many entrepreneurs overlook – providing sufficient input before expecting quality output. Speaking from experience, Phil shares how this approach has allowed him to preserve his unique voice while doubling his hourly rate in some instances. His advice on navigating AI tools while protecting intellectual property and creating an "avoid words" list to prevent cringey AI-generated content offers immediate value you can implement today.Perhaps most reassuringly, Phil addresses the fear of AI replacing human jobs, citing research that shows 63% of jobs are actually complemented by AI rather than threatened by it. "I'm the conductor and I still have to conduct the symphony, but I don't have to play every instrument," he explains, perfectly capturing how AI can enhance human capabilities without diminishing our essential role in business.Ready to explore how AI can serve your business?

The Trump Administration's immigration raids have cast a cloud of fear over communities across the state. They've also dealt a blow to small businesses and economic life, particularly in Los Angeles County. Reporter: Saul Gonzalez, The California Report The deployment of National Guard troops sent to Los Angeles by President Trump has been at the center of a see-sawing legal battle between California and the Trump Administration. For now, the soldiers are staying as the dispute is before a judge on Monday. Reporter: Marisa Lagos, KQED The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday dealt a blow to California's ability to set its own vehicle emissions standards. That will likely strengthen the fossil fuel industry's ability to challenge the state's energy policies and goals. Reporter: Manola Secaira, CapRadio Learn more about your ad choices.

Small business resilience is masking deeper economic strains, as recent surveys reveal that while many small businesses report growth and have maintained or increased their workforce, a significant portion still feels the adverse effects of current economic conditions. Despite 56% of small businesses indicating growth and 90% maintaining or increasing their workforce, 43% of entrepreneurs express that the economic landscape is detrimental to their operations. This contradiction highlights a fragile optimism among small businesses, which may continue to invest in technology but will demand more tangible value for their expenditures.In contrast, the sentiment among large corporate CEOs has plummeted, with the CEO Economic Outlook Index dropping to its lowest level since 2020. Over 40% of CEOs anticipate workforce reductions in the next six months, reflecting widespread concerns about hiring, investment, and sales growth. This decline is attributed to uncertainties surrounding trade policies, which could have ripple effects on vendor spending and longer sales cycles, particularly impacting high-end managed service providers (MSPs) that cater to mid-market or enterprise clients.The podcast also discusses the challenges posed by data blind spots in strategic planning, as federal hiring freezes and budget cuts are beginning to affect the quality of economic data produced by the U.S. government. The erosion of reliable statistics complicates decision-making for both policymakers and service providers, making it increasingly difficult to advise small businesses on risk and compliance. Additionally, a significant drop in employee confidence, particularly among young workers, raises concerns for MSPs managing support desks, as anxiety may lead to higher turnover and a greater need for effective communication and leadership.Finally, the episode highlights the rapid growth of the managed services sector, with projections indicating that the market will reach $608 billion globally. Companies like NinjaOne, Halo PSA, and Nerdio are experiencing significant growth, driven by their focus on user experience and cloud-based solutions. The competitive landscape is shifting, with smaller players outpacing larger incumbents, emphasizing the need for MSPs to choose their platforms strategically and adapt to the evolving demands of the market. Three things to know today 00:00 Growth Without Confidence: SMBs Forge Ahead as Economic Signals Flash Caution for IT Advisors06:15 GenAI Growth Plans Clash with Security Concerns as AI Search Disrupts Digital Visibility10:38 MSP Sector Surges to $608B as Platform Wars Reshape PSA/RMM Landscape Supported by:  https://mspradio.com/engage/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
