OpenAI has launched the O3 Pro Artificial Intelligence model, which focuses on delivering enterprise-grade accuracy and enhanced tool integration, albeit at a higher cost and slower response times compared to its predecessor. The O3 Pro model is designed for complex inquiries where precision is prioritized over speed, making it particularly appealing to businesses and developers. However, the pricing structure, set at $20 per input and $80 per output, may limit access for smaller businesses and mid-market clients, potentially widening the gap between larger enterprises and smaller players in the tech landscape.The launch of O3 Pro coincides with OpenAI's significant growth, reporting 3 million business users and $10 billion in annual recurring revenue, a remarkable increase since the previous year. To support this growth, OpenAI has partnered with Google Cloud Service, diversifying its computing capabilities and reducing reliance on Microsoft. This partnership highlights a shift in the competitive landscape of artificial intelligence, as both companies prioritize meeting the massive computing demands of their clients.In addition to OpenAI's developments, DeepSeek has announced improvements to its R1 AI model, enhancing its capabilities in mathematics, programming, and logic while reducing hallucination instances. Meanwhile, Reddit has filed a lawsuit against Anthropic for allegedly using its data without permission to train AI systems, emphasizing the ongoing conflict between social media platforms and AI firms over data usage and user privacy. This legal battle underscores the importance of data sourcing and compliance for AI providers.Cisco Systems has introduced new routers and switches aimed at optimizing AI deployments in campus environments, collaborating with NVIDIA to enhance network management through automation. Apple has also announced that Intel-based Macs will no longer receive major software updates, marking a significant transition to its in-house processors. Lastly, Evergreen Services Group has reached a milestone with its 100th acquisition of a managed IT service provider, indicating the scalability of the buy-and-hold strategy in the IT services sector and the evolving landscape of ownership frameworks.  Four things to know today  00:00 OpenAI's o3-pro Targets High-Stakes AI Workloads as Adoption Soars Past 3 Million Users06:06 ChatGPT Dominates, But AI Market Fractures Amid Legal Risks and New Model Momentum10:06 Cisco Launches Smart Networking Gear as Apple Phases Out Intel Macs12:31 Evergreen Hits 100 MSP Acquisitions, $1B in Revenue, Signals Global Expansion with REDD Deal  This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorshiphttps://www.huntress.com/mspradio/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

We all want teams that are energized, engaged, and operating at full potential. The key? Tap into what truly drives people. When we leverage strengths and give flexibility around how work gets done, we create an environment where people don't just perform—they thrive. It starts with knowing our team members well and aligning their work with what lights them up. From there, we shift from rigid expectations to empowering autonomy—keeping the “why” and “what” clear while letting the “how” be a co-creation. Trust deepens when we take the time to connect beneath the surface, share our own leadership purpose, and show real vulnerability. That's when teams bring their best—not because they have to, but because they want to.Key Takeaways:1. Lead with Strengths. Recognize and align work with what energizes each team member to unlock resilience, flow, and creativity.2. Flex the How, Anchor the Why. Be clear on purpose and outcomes, but flexible on the path forward to fuel ownership and innovation.3. Know What's Below the Surface. Get curious about what drives behavior and create space for deeper understanding and connection.4. Lead from Your Legacy. Clarify your leadership purpose and use it as a consistent thread that inspires and guides your actions.5. Vulnerability Builds Trust. Showing up authentically encourages others to do the same and strengthens team engagement.

(1) The first article I'm reviewing appeared on insidermonkey.com. It's titled 11 Cheap ESG Stocks to Buy According to Hedge Funds by Rameen Kasana.

(2) The second article comes to us from the renowned Morningstar site. It's titled 2 Undervalued Automation Companies for Sustainable Investors. It's by Liz Angeles. Now, some quotes from her article. “The Morningstar Rating compares a stock's current price with Morningstar's estimate of its fair value, which is based on the present value of the company's future cash flow. A 4-star stock is undervalued, and a 5-star stock is significantly undervalued. 1) Sika Group (SKFOF) Established in 1910, Switzerland-based Sika produces specialty chemicals primarily used by the construction sector (85% of sales). Its products are mainly used for bonding, sealing, reinforcing, and protecting in the construction and automotive industries. Approximately 70% of its products have a positive impact on sustainability for customers. Sika has a global manufacturing footprint of more than 400 factories spread across over 100 countries.

Analyst: William Kerwin, CFA Price/Fair Value: 0.75 Morningstar Rating: ★★★★ ESG Risk Rating Assessment: Negligible Sector: Technology” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Great Stock Picks in 18 New Articles! (3) This third article has a perspective that many investors concur with and posits it regarding Netflix. The title of the article is Possible Stock Split? This Stock Has Surged 284% Since 2023 -- Here's Why You Shouldn't Wait to Buy It. It's by Adam Levy of The Motley Fool and found on finance.yahoo.com. Here are a few brief quotes from Mr. Levy's article. “But enacting a stock split can be a very strong signal from management to investors. Management will usually initiate a stock split after a run-up in the price of the stock. When it announces a split, it's suggesting the current run-up in price is justified and that it expects the price to continue climbing. On the other hand, the confidence boost provided by a stock split will only go as far as the company's next earnings report or news item. If the fundamentals of the business are no good, or the stock has gotten ahead of itself, it doesn't make sense to buy it just because of a stock-split announcement. One stock I've had my eye on looks poised for a stock split this year. It's up 284% since the start of 2023, and investors have an opportunity to get in now, whether management announces a split in the near future or not. [That stock is] Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX).” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Great Stock Picks in 18 New Articles! (4) The fourth article I'm posting appeared recently on one of the finest sites I know. That is corporateknights.com. The article's title is Pandora's big bet on sustainability pays off. It's by Naomi Buck. Here are a few quotes from that article. “Pandora (PNDORA.CO) According to those who study consumer habits, millennials and Gen Zs are looking for two things when they go shopping: sustainability and individuality. One jewellery company is capturing hearts and wallets by offering both. Pandora, launched as a family-run jewellery shop in Copenhagen in 1982, has grown to become the world's largest jewellery maker, by pieces sold. And unlike much of its industry in recent years, Pandora's star is rising. As competitors like Tiffany and Signet see diminishing returns, Pandora ended 2024 with 31.7 billion krone (US$4.5 billion) in annual revenue, representing 13% organic growth… In 2019, following several years of declining sales, Pandora embarked on a new strategy: to expand its product line beyond the luxury charm bracelets for which it had become famous and go all in on sustainability. It established three new priorities: to decarbonize, push circularity and promote a more diverse corporate culture. While sustainability may be front of mind for younger buyers, [Pandora CEO Alexander] Lacik admits that the average jewellery shopper is looking primarily at design and price. But even if customers weren't clamouring for it, Pandora's sustainability push has proven a sound business decision; according to its 2024 annual report, the company has grown by 45% since 2019. No doubt, others in the industry are watching with interest.” End quotes. Also, see this New York Times article on Pandora How the World's Largest Jeweler Is Surviving the Trade War. It's by Eshe Nelson. ------------------------------------------------------------- Great Stock Picks in 18 New Articles! (5) This fifth article was also posted on corporateknights.com with the same author as the previous article, Naomi Buck. Its title is Italy's ERG proves you can trade oil for renewables and win. Again, here are a few quotes from the article. “ERG (ERG.MI) In 2008, the Italian oil company ERG faced a crossroads. Having sold its 49% stake in a Sicilian refinery to Russian oil giant Lukoil just before the markets crashed, it had cash to burn. And it had a fundamental choice to make… By 2013, ERG had become Italy's leading producer of wind energy. It now has installed capacity in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Sweden, making it one of the continent's top 10 wind companies. It also owns major solar installations in Italy, Spain, France and the United States.  ERG's wholesale transition from black to green took little over a decade, and with it the company redefined itself: no longer responding to Italy's demand for oil, it sees itself – in its own words – ‘inspiring change to power the future.'” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- More articles of interest for ethical and sustainable investors from around the world 1.

It's easy to take for granted how much social media pervades our lives. Depending on the survey, upwards of 75-80 percent of Americans are using it daily—not to mention billions of people around the world. And over the past decade, we've seen a major backlash over the various failings of Big Tech. Much of the ire of policymakers has been focused on content moderation choices—what content gets left up or taken down. But arguably there hasn't been much focus on the underlying design of social media platforms.What are the default settings? How are the interfaces set up? How do the recommendation algorithms work? And what about transparency? What should the companies disclose to the public and to researchers? Are they hiding the ball?In recent years, policymakers have started to take these issues head on. In the U.S. more than 75 bills have been introduced at the state and federal level since 2023—these bills target the design and operation of algorithms, and more than a dozen have been passed into law. Last year, New York and California passed laws attempting to keep children away from “addictive feeds.” Other states in 2025 have introduced similar bills. And there's a lawsuit from 42 attorney generals against Meta over its design choices. While Congress hasn't done much, if anything, to regulate social media, states are clearly filling that void—or at least trying to.So what would make social media better, or better for you? Recently, a group of academic researchers organized by the Knight Georgetown Institute put out a paper called Better Feeds: Algorithms that Put People First They outline a series of recommendations that they argue would lead to better outcomes. Evan is joined by Alissa Cooper, co-author of the paper and Executive Director of the Knight-Georgetown Institute. She previously spent over a decade at Cisco Systems, including in engineering roles. Her work at KGI has focused on how platforms can design algorithms that prioritize long-term user value rather than short-term engagement metrics.

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Matt Weinschenk back to the show. Matt is the director of research at Stansberry Research. He's also the editor of the free weekly newsletter This Week on Wall Street and a member of the investment committee for Stansberry Portfolio Solutions. Matt kicks things off by describing what he does at Stansberry Research and what type of investor he is. Because his career began right before the great financial crisis, he says he tends to lean more conservative. This leads to a discussion about controlling risk, preparing for market surprises, and needing to "get slapped in the face a few times" to understand the stakes. After, Matt gives his nuanced take on crypto – from its use for diversification to the "scam" meme coins. (1:39) Next, Matt weighs in on artificial intelligence ("AI") and the huge amounts of capital flowing into the sector. He explains that there are safer ways to invest in AI than buying the headline-making names, using Nvidia versus Cisco Systems as an example. And he points out that even if AI is currently experiencing a bubble, the technology will both benefit the economy and make companies more productive in the long term. (21:40) Finally, Matt goes in depth on the current macroeconomic environment and his outlook for the future. This includes President Donald Trump's tariffs disrupting specific industries, what the VIX and high-yield credit spread are signaling, fears of a recession, and the bond market expecting a growth slowdown. (37:46)

Dave is a co-founder and investor in a number of innovative companies, such as Blaze (acquired by Akamai), Cybersaint (a leading Cyber Risk Management company), Greenlight Biosciences (EPA approved breakthrough RNA bio-chemical platform for clean food), Lufa Farms (a leading agricultural technology company), Lumicell (an FDA approved platform for Cancer therapy) and Virsec (a breakthrough cyber protection company).

David believes, and we at FOX agree, that families are uniquely positioned and endowed to create, build, and innovate by putting their family capital, their entrepreneurial spirit, and creativity to work to solve the big problems our world is facing. He talks about why he has this conviction, how he sees it play out today, and why and how families play this key role in innovation and building new solutions and products. The topic of our conversation with Dave is encapsulated in a relatively new term: “Builder Capitalism”. Dave defines Builder Capitalism for our audience, describes the tenets of this investment philosophy, and outlines the mindset and skills it requires. He also paints the picture of how Builder Capitalism is manifested in reality through the activities and behaviors of entrepreneurs. Dave offers many practical tips and suggestions to the different market players who are interested in Builder Capitalism, starting with what investors need to know or do if they want to participate in this movement and allocate their capital (financial and non-financial) to Builder Capitalist ventures. He also provides his advice to entrepreneurs and founders who share this belief system and see themselves and their startups as members of this Builder Capitalism economy. Finally, Dave offers his insights into the resources available to both investors and founders to become better educated about Builder Capitalism and to be better connected into the emerging ecosystem of this rising entrepreneurial movement. This is a must-hear conversation with one of the leading thought leaders, practitioners, and innovators in the Builder Capitalism movement, who is also a family principal and leader of his own multigenerational entrepreneurial family.

Pulling on the threads of our last conversations, Gregg opens up about the current state of the world: from transhumanism to artificial intelligence, giving a warning message about these innovations.

Send us a textAndrew Carothers is a Senior Customer Experience Leader and a CCXP who has significantly shaped the field of customer experience (CX). His career began in public relations, where he worked both in agencies and in-house. He transitioned into the technology sector at Autodesk and even worked for the Electric Vehicle Association of America before the concept of electric vehicles became popular.Over the years, Andrew expanded his expertise beyond public relations into various marketing communications roles. His pivotal move came when he joined Cisco Systems, where he transitioned from marketing to the newly established customer experience function. At that time, Cisco primarily sold hardware with long sales cycles and minimal customer interaction. However, the company's shift towards a recurring revenue model and the rise of software as a service (SaaS) transformed customer engagement.As part of a small team at Cisco tasked with redefining customer interactions, Andrew gained extensive experience in digital CX, voice of the customer initiatives, and journey mapping. This journey laid the foundation for his later successes in customer experience, where he has won multiple international awards and contributed to thought leadership in the field.Evolving Customer ExpectationsAndrew identifies two major trends currently shaping customer expectations:Consistency Across Experiences: Customers now expect seamless and consistent interactions across all channels. This shift has been heavily influenced by leading companies like Amazon and Apple, which have set high standards for user experience. The ease of searching for, purchasing, and returning products has raised customer expectations across all industries, including B2B environments.Digital-First Interactions: The demand for digital experiences has surged, particularly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Customers now expect to engage with companies through digital channels first, regardless of their size. This expectation includes easy access to information and services, marking a significant change in customer interaction dynamics.The Importance of Self-ServiceResearch indicates that up to 80% of customers seek information independently before contacting a company. This trend highlights the necessity for robust self-service options. Companies should invest in knowledge bases that feature diverse content formats—text, video, infographics—to cater to different customer learning preferences. By enabling customers to resolve issues on their own, organizations can enhance overall satisfaction and engagement.Harnessing Data for Enhanced CXAs Andrew looks ahead to 2025, he emphasizes the critical role of data in shaping customer experience strategies. He advocates for organizations, regardless of size, to consolidate data from various sources to create a holistic view of customer interactions. Understanding customer needs through predictive analytics will be essential for delivering personalized and effective experiences.In conclusion, Andrew Carothers' journey reflects the evolution of customer experience driven by changing expectations, the rise of digital engagement, and the strategic importance of data. His insights and experiences position him as a leader in the field, guiding organizations toward more customer-centric practices and enhanced satisfaction.

Brent crude is on track for its biggest weekly gain since early 2023, up around 10% from recent lows.Companies Mentioned: Barnes Group, Apollo Global Management, Cisco Systems, CoreWeave, Spirit Airlines
