Agentic AI is transitioning from demonstration to real-world application, particularly through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which transforms traditional RMM and PSA systems into more interactive and efficient tools. This shift is expected to significantly impact ticket management, service level agreements (SLAs), and profit margins for managed service providers (MSPs). The discussion also delves into the competitive landscape, with companies like PAX 8 positioning themselves as orchestration layers in this evolving market, raising questions about whether this represents a genuine transformation or merely a rebranding effort.Rich Freeman, a prominent voice in the SMB channel, shares insights on how MSPs are adapting to these changes. He highlights that many organizations are already deploying AI solutions, which are automating tasks traditionally performed by humans, such as service dispatch and help desk operations. This evolution is not just about reducing workforce size but rather reshaping the roles within MSPs, allowing employees to focus on higher-level tasks that drive customer value and differentiation.The conversation also touches on the implications of MCP, which allows AI agents to interact with various backend systems seamlessly. This capability could lead to a future where technicians no longer need to navigate complex interfaces, as they can simply communicate with AI to manage their systems. The rapid advancements in AI technology are prompting MSPs to rethink their operational strategies and prepare for a future where automation plays a central role in service delivery.Finally, the discussion explores the concept of managed intelligence providers, emphasizing the need for MSPs to evolve from merely providing tools to delivering comprehensive solutions that leverage AI for better outcomes. As the industry shifts towards this model, the role of marketplaces and distributors will also change, requiring them to support MSPs in integrating and managing these advanced technologies. The conversation concludes with a recognition of the urgency for MSPs to adapt to these changes or risk falling behind in a competitive landscape.

Nicole Tapscott, Chief Commercial Officer at Knix, dissects the anatomy of category disruption in an era where authenticity trumps algorithms. Drawing from two decades of scaling high-growth consumer brands like Casper and Mejuri, Tapscott reveals how Knix has redefined the intimate apparel industry into a movement of destigmatization through authentic celebrity partnerships. The conversation unpacks strategic insights on navigating the post-DTC landscape, premium retail expansions, data-driven personalization, and omnichannel orchestration—essential intelligence for building next-generation brands that thrive on vulnerability. PLUS: We talk Knix's latest campaign with Kristen Bell and the first U.S. store opening in New York City.Customers Are Already Telling You the AnswerKey takeaways:Next-gen brands prioritize channel agnosticism over DTC exclusivity - Success comes from meeting customers where they are, whether that's TikTok Shop, Nordstrom, or intimate retail experiences designed for vulnerable conversations.Cultural barrier-breaking requires authentic celebrity partnerships - Kristen Bell's decade-long customer relationship with Knix created campaign authenticity that audiences could immediately sense, proving that real relationships trump transactional endorsements.Product innovation emerges from customer vulnerability - Knix's best product developments, from ultra-thin technology to natural fiber collections, stem directly from customer feedback about their most personal needs and experiences.Physical retail serves emotional commerce needs - In categories requiring trust and education, stores become "vulnerability corners" where trained staff facilitate intimate conversations that e-commerce cannot replicate.Mission-driven marketing survives economic pressure - As consumer spending tightens, brands with clear purpose and authentic intention will outperform those focused solely on transactions.Key Quotes:"DTC is no longer a differentiator. It's just table stakes. These brands are no longer defined by how they sell their product, but why they sell, and how they integrate into a customer's life." - Nicole Tapscott [00:08:35]"The best campaigns are based on a true insight and great representation... someone that really represents that message in a real authentic way." - Nicole Tapscott [00:15:51]"Listen to the customer. They're usually telling you the answer... The if you build it, they will come mentality of former businesses does not work. You actually have to build it where they want it." - Nicole Tapscott [00:51:16]Associated Links:Check out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Dave Sobel interviews Robert Buda, founder and president of Buda Consulting, about the critical role of data management in the age of AI. Buda emphasizes that while the principles of data management remain unchanged, the speed at which organizations must adapt to new technologies has increased dramatically. He argues that ensuring data quality is more crucial than ever, especially as organizations begin to rely on AI models for decision-making. Buda expresses concern that some in the AI community believe that simply feeding more data into models will lead to accurate outcomes, a notion he finds misleading.The conversation delves into the tension between speed and scale in data management. Buda explains that the rapid influx of new applications requires data professionals to react quickly, making speed a more pressing issue than the sheer volume of data. He acknowledges that while big data was heavily discussed, much of it went unused, contrasting this with the current AI landscape, which he believes will have a more significant impact on how data is utilized.Buda also challenges the perception that organizations overestimate the value of their data. He argues that many companies underestimate the criticality of their operational data, which is essential for their functioning. He highlights the risks associated with data loss, such as ransomware attacks, and stresses that all data, not just sensitive information, is vital for business continuity.As the discussion wraps up, Buda emphasizes the importance of maintaining rigorous data accuracy and proper metadata management. He warns against complacency as organizations adopt AI technologies, advocating for a proactive approach to ensure that data is well-structured and labeled. This diligence will be essential as businesses increasingly rely on AI-driven insights for operational decisions, making the quality of data more important than ever.

Tariffs imposed during the Trump administration are now impacting businesses, leading to layoffs and price increases as companies adapt to rising costs. Outdoor brand KAVU has implemented cost-saving measures, including freezing marketing spending and limiting employee travel, while preparing to raise prices due to escalating tariffs on imports from countries like India and Vietnam. Public companies such as QVC Group and Allbirds are also planning price increases to mitigate the effects of tariffs, which could contribute to higher inflation and reduced consumer spending. As the stability of tariff rates becomes clearer, businesses may become more decisive about hiring and layoffs.The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) is surging, with nearly 80% of companies reportedly using generative AI. However, many firms are experiencing little to no significant impact on their bottom line, reminiscent of the productivity paradox seen during the personal computer boom. A survey indicates that CFOs are increasingly prioritizing AI for productivity and long-term revenue growth, with a notable shift in budget allocation towards agentic AI. Despite the optimism surrounding AI investments, the anticipated benefits have yet to materialize, raising concerns about skill degradation among professionals who rely heavily on AI tools.Recent executive orders signed by President Trump may have significant implications for cybersecurity, potentially reversing progress made under previous administrations. While some directives aim to enhance preparedness for cyberattacks at the state and local level, others remove critical software security requirements for government vendors. This shift could undermine existing protections and create vulnerabilities, benefiting hackers and fraudsters. Additionally, Disney's decision to cancel plans for a deepfake version of Dwayne Johnson highlights the growing concerns over copyright and AI-generated content, as studios grapple with the implications of intellectual property rights in the age of AI.As AI adoption accelerates, companies are rethinking their pricing strategies, moving from flat fees to consumption-based models to maintain profitability amid rising operational costs. This shift raises questions about forecasting costs and protecting margins, as unexpected spikes in per-task billing could impact clients. Furthermore, the limitations of AI systems in self-assessing their capabilities pose challenges for trust and validation in AI outputs. With significant vulnerabilities identified in AI systems during stress tests, service providers must ensure their AI offerings are built on robust, verified systems to deliver reliable value to clients. Four things to know today 00:00 With Tariffs Solidifying, Businesses Tighten Spending and Raise Prices, Forcing IT Providers to Prove Value03:56 Generative AI Adoption Hits 80%, Yet ROI Elusive as Healthcare Skill Loss and Data Risks Emerge07:56 Mixed Cybersecurity Signals from White House; AI Copyright Uncertainty Halts Disney's Moana Project10:50 AI Managed Services Evolve as Consumption Pricing Rises, Chatbots Mislead, and Red Teams Find 139 Flaws  Supported by:  https://www.moovila.com/https://scalepad.com/dave/  Tell us about a newsletter!https://bit.ly/biztechnewsletter All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

In this solo episode, Patrick McKenzie reads his classic essay "Seeing Like a Bank," exploring why financial institutions often appear to have no memory of previous customer interactions despite being excellent at tracking money itself. He breaks down the complex web of legacy systems, tiered support structures, and regulatory constraints that create Kafka-esque experiences for bank customers. Using the lens of institutional legibility borrowed from "Seeing Like a State," Patrick explains how banks' technical architecture and organizational design choices—from core processing systems to customer service tiers—systematically generate the dysfunction that customers experience when things go wrong.–Full transcript available here: www.complexsystemspodcast.com/how-banks-actually-work/–Recommended in this episode:Patrick's Bits about Money essay, Seeing like a bank: https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/seeing-like-a-bank/–Timestamps:(00:00) Intro(03:52) Recordkeeping systems(10:20) Sponsor: Safebase(11:50) Human accountability and its malcontents(22:57) Two embedded surprises about bank staffing(27:47) Society has goals which conflict with banks being good at banking(30:52) So what can be done about this?

Blake and David discuss how both AICPA and NASBA have officially endorsed a 120-hour CPA licensure pathway in the ninth edition of the Uniform Accountancy Act, validating Blake's long-standing advocacy against the 150-hour requirement. They also examine Baker Tilly's policy, which requires CPAs to remove their designations from email signatures and LinkedIn profiles due to alternative practice structures. They move on to the launch of GPT-5, praising its improved integration but noting concerning chart errors in OpenAI's presentation and ongoing hallucination issues. Rounding things out, they also discuss Trump's firing of newly-appointed IRS Commissioner Billy Long after just weeks in office, comparing it to his dismissal of the Bureau of Labor Statistics head over unfavorable job revision data.SponsorsOnPay - http://accountingpodcast.promo/onpay Keeper - http://accountingpodcast.promo/keeperMissive - http://accountingpodcast.promo/missive TeamUp - http://accountingpodcast.promo/teamupChapters(00:41) - AICPA and NASBA owe Blake an apology (02:35) - AI and GPT-5 Launch (04:17) - CPA License Controversy (13:04) - IRS and BLS Firings (24:54) - Tariffs and Economic Impact (37:13) - Impressive Results with GPT-5 (41:13) - Private Equity and Accounting Firms (45:16) - AI Errors in High-Stakes Presentations (56:41) - SEC's New Stable Coin Regulations (59:56) - China's Response to US Stable Coin Regulations (01:01:16) - KPMG and the Silicon Valley Bank Collapse (01:03:20) - Macy's Executive Bonuses Clawed Back (01:05:33) - Luckin Coffee's Auditor Penalized (01:08:34) - Mike Lynch's Estate Hit with $1 Billion Judgment (01:09:51) - Match Group's Stock Surge and Economic Optimism (01:12:58) - Final Thoughts and Continuing Education  Show NotesNASBA, AICPA give blessing to 120-hour CPA pathwayhttps://www.cfo.com/news/governing-bodies-of-accounting-give-blessing-to-120-hour-cpa-requirement/754033/ AICPA and NASBA Approve Model Legislation for New CPA Licensure Pathhttps://nasba.org/blog/2025/05/13/aicpa-and-nasba-approve-model-legislation-for-new-cpa-licensure-path/NASBA and AICPA Publish Ninth Edition of the Uniform Accountancy Act (UAA)https://nasba.org/blog/2025/07/22/nasba-and-aicpa-publish-ninth-edition-of-the-uniform-accountancy-act-uaa/Alaska Becomes the Latest State to Offer an Alternate CPA Pathway, With No Help From the Governorhttps://www.goingconcern.com/alaska-becomes-the-latest-state-to-offer-an-alternate-cpa-pathway-with-no-help-from-the-governor/CPA requirements by statehttps://www.cfo.com/news/cpa-requirements-by-state-cfo-accounting-updates-changes-150-hour/740328/Baker Tilly Secures Private Equity Investment in Largest CPA Transaction to Datehttps://insidepublicaccounting.com/2024/02/05/baker-tilly-secures-private-equity-investment-in-largest-cpa-transaction-to-date/Trump ousts Billy Long as IRS commissioner, names Bessent acting headhttps://www.cnn.com/2025/08/08/politics/billy-long-ousted-irs-commissionerIRS Commissioner Billy Long replaced after less than two monthshttps://www.npr.org/2025/08/08/nx-s1-5496549/irs-billy-long-trumpTrump removes Billy Long as IRS commissioner, giving him the shortest-ever tenure in the rolehttps://federalnewsnetwork.com/management/2025/08/trump-removes-billy-long-as-irs-commisioner-less-than-2-months-after-his-confirmation/OpenAI botches the charts in GPT-5 introductionhttps://flowingdata.com/2025/08/07/openai-botches-the-charts-in-gpt-5-introduction/GPT-5 Launch Demo Plagued With Catastrophically Dumb Errorshttps://futurism.com/gpt-5-demo-dumb-errorsSam Altman addresses 'bumpy' GPT-5 rollout, bringing 4o back, and the 'chart crime'https://techcrunch.com/2025/08/08/sam-altman-addresses-bumpy-gpt-5-rollout-bringing-4o-back-and-the-chart-crime/Introducing GPT-5https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-5/Need CPE?Get CPE for listening to podcasts with Earmark: https://earmarkcpe.comSubscribe to the Earmark Podcast: https://podcast.earmarkcpe.comGet in TouchThanks for listening and the great reviews!

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is facing significant criticism from state and local officials who feel abandoned due to diminishing federal support for critical cybersecurity programs. Many officials are concerned about their increasing reliance on self-driven initiatives, especially after cuts to the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center, which has been a crucial source of cybersecurity intelligence for over two decades. A recent survey revealed that a substantial portion of state and local governments lack adequate funding for cybersecurity, with 22% allocating no funds and 42% operating with annual budgets of less than $100,000. This situation raises alarms about the potential for increased vulnerability to cyberattacks, particularly from nation-state actors.In response to the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is developing new security guidance aimed at addressing the associated risks. This initiative will clarify how AI interacts with cybersecurity, focusing on securing AI systems, the adversarial use of AI, and leveraging AI to enhance cybersecurity measures. Additionally, a bipartisan bill known as the Validation and Evaluation for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence Act has been reintroduced in the Senate, aiming to establish guidelines for the responsible development and testing of AI systems. House appropriators are also proposing a significant funding increase for NIST, reflecting a commitment to bolster cybersecurity and innovation.The Federal Risk Management and Authorization Program (FedRAMP) has made strides in streamlining the approval process for government cloud services, achieving a significant reduction in wait times from over a year to approximately five weeks. This shift is part of a broader trend toward more efficient cloud authorization processes, with FedRAMP already approving more than twice as many services in fiscal year 2025 compared to the previous year. This development presents an opportunity for businesses to leverage FedRAMP-authorized stacks for government-related buyers and to build migration strategies accordingly.OpenAI has recently updated its ChatGPT platform, introducing new models and third-party tool connectors while facing scrutiny over the performance and security of its latest model, GPT-5. Despite the introduction of various user-focused options, security assessments have revealed significant vulnerabilities in GPT-5, prompting concerns about its safety and reliability. As companies like ConnectWise implement new credit card surcharges and adjust their workforce in response to market demands, the overarching theme emphasizes the need for operational discipline and strategic planning in navigating the evolving technology landscape. Four things to know today 00:00 Shrinking Cyber Budgets, Emerging AI Rules, and Streamlined FedRAMP Signal Shifts for IT Providers06:43 From Security to SaaS Management, Vendors Roll Out Agentic Features for IT Service Providers10:25 OpenAI Expands GPT-5 Options, Adds Connectors, but Faces Early Security Backlash13:41 ConnectWise Adds Credit Card Surcharges, Trims Staff in Strategic Realignment  Supported by:  https://syncromsp.com/   Tell us about a newsletter!https://bit.ly/biztechnewsletter  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
