Een onderneming opstarten, is een ervaring waar je gigantisch veel uit leert, ook als je niet helemaal tot de finish gaat. Neem nu het statuut van student-ondernemer, dat biedt ontzettend veel mogelijkheden om te experimenteren en te leren op jonge leeftijd. Van jongs af kunnen ouders een ondernemende geest stimuleren bij hun kinderen. Badpak vergeten? Zelf oplossen. Van dat uurtje aan de rand van het zwembad te zitten, leren die kinderen meer dan van ouders die nog snel de zwemzak gaan droppen op school. Bij ondernemers vertrekt alles van de facturen. Zo snel mogelijk het factuur uitsturen, achter de betaling van die facturen aan zitten, de juiste prijs berekenen voor een bepaald product of dienstverlening,… Als dat niet goed zit, dan zullen ondernemers belasting betalen op winsten waarvan ze de cash nooit op hun rekening hebben zien verschijnen. Verkopen, verkopen, verkopen is het adagio van veel ondernemerscoaches. De omzet opkrikken van 100.000 euro naar 1 miljoen euro lijkt wel de ultieme doelstelling, terwijl het eigenlijk om de marge draait. Ondernemers hebben beter wat minder omzet, waar ze meer nettowinst van overhouden. De omzet opkrikken kan ook door veel kosten te maken, maar dan hou je aan het einde van de rit weinig of zelfs helemaal geen winst over. De winst is de opbrengsten min de kosten. Je kunt ook je winst verhogen door te snoeien in de kosten. In Trends podcasts vind je alle podcasts van Trends en Trends Z, netjes geordend volgens publicatie.

Richardson Dackam, a solo developer known for rapidly creating AI-first SaaS products, shared insights into his development process during a recent episode of the Business of Tech. Dackam emphasizes the importance of identifying manageable problems that can be solved quickly, which he refers to as "done for you ideas." His approach involves extensive research to create a Product Requirement Document (PRD) and context engineering for AI agents, enabling him to build prototypes in a matter of hours or days. He leverages various services, such as Magic Link for authentication and Superbase for databases, to streamline his workflow.Dackam's success is exemplified by his application, 8nodes, which serves as a workflow generator for N8n, currently attracting around 500 users. He utilizes multiple distribution channels, including his YouTube channel and contributions to AI communities, to promote his tools. Although 8nodes is not yet generating revenue, Dackam is focused on improving the product's speed, which he identifies as a critical pain point for users. He tracks user engagement metrics daily to inform his optimization efforts.The episode also addresses the balance between rapid prototyping and maintaining product reliability and compliance. Dackam asserts that he builds with an SOC 2 compliance mindset, ensuring that user data is handled securely. He discusses the challenges of scalability and uptime, noting that he relies on services like AWS and Vercel to manage these aspects effectively. By separating his landing page from the application, he ensures that marketing efforts remain uninterrupted even if the app experiences downtime.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT service leaders, Dackam's approach highlights the potential for rapid development cycles while maintaining a focus on security and compliance. His insights into the challenges of integrating AI into business processes underscore the need for organizations to understand their workflows before adopting automation solutions. As businesses navigate the complexities of AI deployment, the emphasis on iterative improvement and user feedback can inform strategies for successful product development and market fit.

A number of local political races resulted in historic wins...and the breaking of what are often known as glass ceilings. Penfield elected its first Democratic town supervisor, Kevin Berry, in four decades. Berry is also the first LGBTQ+ supervisor for the town. In Perinton, Jenn Townsend will become the first Democrat to lead the town since 1918 — and she's the first woman to hold the position. In Greece, Amorette Miller is the first woman of color to serve on the town board, and the first Democrat in her ward. All three winners join us to discuss the significance of their victories and what they mean for their communities. Our guests: Kevin Berry, Penfield town supervisor-elect Jenn Townsend, Perinton town supervisor-elect Amorette Miller, Greece councilwoman-elect for Ward 3 *Note: We also invited Jeff McCann, Greece town supervisor-elect, to join this conversation.

AI proof-of-concept projects are facing high failure rates, with a recent Omdia survey indicating that nearly one-third of companies report complete failures in these initiatives. Only 9% of firms successfully transition more than half of their AI projects into operational use, while 46% manage to move over 10% into production. The primary reason for these failures is not the technology itself but rather a lack of clearly defined business problems that AI could address. Additionally, only 32% of companies have identified specific human tasks that AI should supplement or replace, highlighting a significant gap in strategic planning for AI integration.The demand for AI skills testing in the workplace has surged, with a 166% increase reported over the past year, according to Test Guerrilla. This trend reflects a growing recognition among employers that traditional hiring methods, such as resumes and interviews, are inadequate for assessing actual candidate capabilities. The 2025 State of Skills-Based Hiring Report reveals that 71% of employers believe skills testing is a more accurate predictor of job performance than resumes. However, a concerning statistic shows that 93% of candidates are not questioned about their AI skills during interviews, indicating a disconnect between hiring practices and the skills needed in the evolving tech landscape.In related developments, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has endorsed Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) as a beneficial communication solution for small and mid-sized businesses, despite the technology being well-established for over a decade. Corsica Technologies has acquired Accountability IT, enhancing its capabilities in AI-enabled managed IT and cybersecurity, while Morgan Franklin Cyber has acquired Lynx Technology Partners to bolster its governance, risk, and compliance services. These acquisitions reflect a trend of consolidation in the managed services sector, emphasizing the need for IT service providers to adapt to changing market demands.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT service leaders, these developments underscore the importance of aligning technology initiatives with clear business outcomes. As organizations increasingly seek to implement AI solutions, MSPs must guide clients in defining specific problems that AI can solve and ensuring that their teams are equipped with the necessary skills. The emphasis on skills testing and the strategic integration of technologies like VoIP and AI highlights the need for operational maturity and expertise in navigating the complexities of modern IT environments. Failure to adapt could result in missed opportunities and increased competition from larger, more agile providers. Four things to know today00:00 New Reports Show AI Failing in Deployment and Hiring Due to Strategy Gaps, Not Technology Limitations05:10 U.S. Chamber Endorses VoIP for SMBs as Corsica and MorganFranklin Expand Through Cybersecurity Acquisitions09:03 Vendors Target MSP Operational Pressure With Faster File Workflows, White-Label Staffing, and AI-Powered Search12:37 AI Isn't Failing—Organizations Are: New Research Calls Out Siloes, Leadership Gaps, and Poor Workflow Design This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/https://timezest.com/mspradio/

Zach Mack is a public radio producer whose father became obsessed with conspiracy theories. And then Zach's dad made him a bet: $10,000 — $1,000 for each of 10 predictions. His dad said that Obama would be arrested for treason, that Trump would be reinstated as president before the 2024 election. Zach took the bet, hoping it would break his father from his conspiracy theories. Zach's family, including his dad, agreed to regular interviews throughout 2024, leading up to the bet's conclusion. Zach turned it all into a podcast series, and now he joins us to discuss what happened — and what he learned about conspiratorial thinking.

New research indicates that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) is expanding beyond established guidelines, with significant implications for IT leadership and security. A study from UpGuard reveals that over 80% of employees in sectors like finance and healthcare are utilizing unauthorized AI tools, often referred to as shadow AI. This trend raises security concerns, as nearly half of these employees report regular use of these unapproved tools, with one in four trusting AI more than their colleagues. The findings suggest that while AI is becoming integral to business operations, the lack of clear ownership and governance poses risks for organizations.The evolving role of IT leaders is highlighted by a report from Atera, which shows that 63% of IT leaders are experiencing changes in their responsibilities due to AI advancements. Notably, 49% of respondents emphasize the importance of guiding business value leadership, while 47% recognize the need for orchestrating human-AI collaboration. Despite these shifts, only 12% of IT leaders report that AI ownership is clearly defined within their organizations, indicating a gap in governance that could exacerbate the risks associated with shadow AI.In addition to these developments, the episode discusses the financial landscape for managed service providers (MSPs) as outlined in a report from TopDown Ventures. The report forecasts that managed AI platforms will evolve into a $1.3 trillion market by 2030, driven by the demand for efficiency and governance. Furthermore, 418 publicly traded companies have identified AI as a significant reputational risk, with concerns about misinformation and security exposure. Despite these risks, companies are increasing their AI investments, with average spending reportedly doubling in 2024.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the implications are clear. The rapid adoption of AI necessitates a structured approach to governance and security to mitigate risks associated with shadow AI. As organizations navigate the complexities of AI integration, there is an opportunity for IT service providers to offer solutions that standardize AI usage and ensure compliance. The evolving landscape underscores the need for proactive strategies to harness AI's potential while maintaining control and oversight.  Three things to know today00:00 Consumer AI Habits Spill Into the Workplace: High Trust, High Risk, and Little Ownership Across Organizations06:49 Investors Push MSPs Toward AI-Orchestrated Platforms While SEC Filings Flag Growing AI Reputational Threats11:08 OpenAI Pushes GPT-5.1 as Model Volatility Rises While Fei-Fei Li's Marble Targets Practical 3D Digital Twins This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/https://try.auvik.com/dave-switch

The expiration of the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) on September 30, 2025, has resulted in a notable decline in U.S. cyber defense capabilities, with a reported drop of over 70% in the sharing of threat indicators. This lapse has created a legal and operational vacuum, leading to increased delays in alert dissemination and a rise in cyber threats, particularly in critical sectors such as healthcare and energy. Federal agencies and private companies are now hesitant to report incidents without the liability protections that CISA previously provided, resulting in a fragmented response to cyber threats.In response to the growing concerns over cybersecurity, the U.S. Congress has included a provision in the federal government shutdown legislation to extend CISA through the end of January 2026. This extension is crucial for facilitating the sharing of threat data between businesses and government agencies. Meanwhile, the Cybersecurity and Resilience Bill introduced in the UK mandates that medium and large IT management and cybersecurity service providers comply with minimum security standards, reflecting a shift towards greater accountability in protecting critical infrastructure.Additionally, Microsoft and 1Password are advancing passwordless technology, with Microsoft enabling the syncing of passkeys across devices and 1Password integrating a new native Passkeys plugin API for Windows 11. These developments aim to enhance user convenience and security, signaling a shift away from traditional password reliance. EasyDMARC has also launched Touchpoint, an AI-driven sales enablement tool for MSPs, while Enable has introduced a cyber warranty program offering financial protection for cyber incidents.For MSPs and IT service leaders, these developments underscore the importance of adapting to evolving cybersecurity regulations and technologies. The expiration of CISA highlights the need for private networks and MSPs to fill the intelligence gap left by government agencies. As compliance requirements tighten in the UK and the U.S., MSPs that can navigate these changes and assist clients in maintaining security and compliance will find significant opportunities in a rapidly changing landscape. Three things to know today00:00 U.S. Cyber Defense Falters as CISA Act Expires, Threat Sharing Plummets 70% Amid Budget Cuts04:35 Compliance Crossroads: New EU, UK, and U.S. Rules Reshape Data Protection and Cybersecurity for MSPs09:42 Vendors Push Simpler, Smarter Security: Microsoft Syncs Passkeys, N-able Adds Cyber Warranty, EasyDMARC Targets MSP Sales This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship

Send us a textToday's guest is someone whose work sits right at the intersection of education, innovation, and human connection.Dr. Christine “Christy” Heid is a nursing educator, simulationist, innovator, and healthcare advocate with more than two decades of experience.As a Nursing Simulation Specialist, she brings an invaluable perspective as both a nurse educator and simulation expert who has personally experienced the challenges institutions face in preparing nurses for clinical practice. A recognized innovator in nursing education, she created the Heid ATE Guide for Clinical Teaching and Learning©, which is an Innovative, Progressive Tool to facilitate the Development of Clinical Judgment Skills for real-world nursing Practice. Brilliant.But wait, there's more. Christy has led a multi-site research project funded by an OADN Foundation Grant. She has held roles as a consultant, course developer, and faculty member, contributed to national committees, and published research on simulation and clinical judgment.In this episode, we talk about how simulation is transforming nursing education, what it really means to build clinical judgment, and why innovation is as much about empathy as it is about technology. Her work reminds us that innovation and empathy aren't opposites; they're partners.I wish, as a young nursing student in 1983, that Christy had been in my life. We didn't have simulations. We didn't have nursing simulation specialists. We had to practice on each other. Yeah, I'm not kidding. So we've come a long way and I was so happy to meet Christy.In the five minute snippet: Put on your boxing gloves.

PIXIE PITCH / TOXIC SICKNESS RESIDENCY SHOW #12 / NOVEMBER / 2025 by TOXIC SICKNESS OFFICIAL

In this episode we talk to Laura Goode, author, essayist, poet, screen writer, and educator, about her latest book, Pitch Craft. Pitch Craft is all about the art of presenting yourself as a person and a writer, but our conversation doesn't just end there. From talking about the quirks and perks of being an only child to the magic of female friendship, this is a conversation that explores the hidden side of writing – the part which is less about the writing itself than it is about connecting with yourself and the people around you. To learn more about Laura Goode and to purchase Pitch Craft, you can check out her website, and follow her on Instagram.

Donald Trump is taking on "affordability" in the wake of Democratic wins last week in New Jersey and Virginia. The president is proposing $2,000 payments from tariff revenues and a new 50-year mortgage for homebuyers, while his Department of Justice opens an investigation into meatpacking companies in light of high beef prices. But are any of these proposals good for the economy? And will any calm voters' anxieties over the high cost of living?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dagen McDowell, anchor and analyst on the Fox Business Network and co-host of The Bottom Line with Dagen McDowell at 6 PM ET, joined The Guy Benson Show today to break down what's next for Chuck Schumer after Democrats lost the shutdown fight and finally agreed to reopen the government, despite not getting much in return for their shutdown effort. McDowell discussed how some Democrats eventually realized that helping Americans mattered more than political posturing. McDowell also weighed in on two of Trump's new economic pitches, including a proposed “tariff dividend” check, and his idea for a 50-year mortgage plan. Listen to the full interview below!

Volunteering is at its lowest level in decades in the United States. In some communities, this marks a possible crisis: rural hospitals are struggling and could close, and emergency relief dollars are harder to come by. Volunteer firefighting is a lifeline for many small towns. We check in on the efforts to increase volunteerism — especially where it's needed most.

The former president of the Islamic Center of Rochester says New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's victory is a seismic event for the Muslim community.

ChatGPT and Microsoft CoPilot are leading the enterprise AI adoption race, with 67% and 58% of businesses utilizing these tools, respectively, according to a study by the Wharton Human AI Research Program. This trend highlights a significant gap between these dominant players and competitors like Claude, Perplexity, and DeepSeek, which have much lower adoption rates. Despite the rapid integration of generative AI into corporate environments, a report from Salesforce indicates that 63% of business leaders consider their organizations data-driven, yet many express uncertainty about their data's reliability and the ability to generate actionable insights.Further complicating the landscape, a report from Ernst & Young reveals that while 75% of UK CEOs recognize the urgency of adopting generative AI, 68% admit to lacking a clear understanding of the technology. This disconnect poses risks for organizations as they navigate AI implementation, particularly in terms of data governance and the potential for costly mistakes in acquisitions and partnerships. The report emphasizes the need for IT providers to assist clients in validating vendors and ensuring responsible AI usage.In addition to enterprise AI developments, the episode discusses the shortcomings of current AI benchmarking practices, with only 16% of evaluated benchmarks employing rigorous scientific methods. This raises concerns about the reliability of claims made by AI vendors regarding their models' capabilities. The episode also highlights the cautious approach of small and medium-sized businesses towards AI in cybersecurity, with only 12% trusting AI to operate autonomously, primarily due to concerns over accuracy and data privacy.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT service leaders, the key takeaway is the importance of building trust in AI technologies. As the market sees an influx of new models, such as China's KimiK2, which claims to outperform established models at a fraction of the cost, the focus should be on validating these tools and ensuring they meet organizational needs. By prioritizing data governance and compliance, MSPs can position themselves as essential partners in helping clients navigate the complexities of AI adoption and implementation. Four things to know today 00:00 AI Goes Corporate: ChatGPT and Copilot Dominate Adoption as Leaders Struggle With Data Trust and Strategy04:53 Faulty AI Tests and Failing Trust: Oxford Study and Kaseya Report Expose the Gap Between Hype and Reality07:46 From Newsrooms to Courtrooms, AI Adoption Exposes a Trust Gap — and a New Opportunity for IT Providers11:11 AI Divide Widens: China's Free Kimi K2 Model Challenges GPT-5 While Google Locks Users Into a Data-Driven Ecosystem This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://try.auvik.com/dave-switchhttps://timezest.com/mspradio/

A new survey finds that more than six in ten American physicians reported that their patients have been influenced by misinformation or disinformation in the past year. The problem is particularly acute in rural health care settings, according to the Physicians Foundation. The Rochester Academy of Medicine is launching a new series of public presentations called "Demystifying Misinformation." We talk to some of the people involved in crafting a program meant to provide clarity and understanding.

The number of American adults consuming alcohol fell recently to 54% — the lowest number Gallup has ever recorded since it began tracking alcohol consumption in 1939. Driving the shift away from alcohol is the 18-34 group. As a result, more restaurants and bars are offering alcohol-free drink options. And there are more "third places" that feature menus without alcohol. In a recent piece for CITY Magazine, arts reporter Patrick Hosken wrote about how third places are emerging in Rochester. We discuss the ongoing shift in the local scene with our guests: Patrick Hosken, arts reporter for CITY Magazine Bob Hartman, co-owner of AltBar Shelley Elkovich, founder and "Flavor Maven" of For Bitter For Worse ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.

The U.S. job market is experiencing a gradual slowdown, with the unemployment rate rising to 4.36% in October 2025, according to estimates from the Chicago Federal Reserve. Despite an increase in layoff announcements, initial unemployment claims remain low at 229,000, indicating some stability. Major companies like Amazon, UPS, and Target have announced significant job cuts, but studies suggest these layoffs are not primarily driven by artificial intelligence (AI) advancements. Instead, financial pressures and a lack of productivity gains from AI are cited as the main factors, with 96% of businesses reporting no significant efficiency improvements from AI implementations.Trust in generative AI is growing, with 48% of respondents expressing complete trust in these systems, compared to only 18% for traditional AI. However, only 40% of organizations are investing in governance and ethical safeguards, raising concerns about complacency rather than genuine trust. Gartner predicts that by 2026, half of companies will require AI-free critical thinking skills assessments, reflecting a growing dependency on AI. Additionally, a trend of rehiring laid-off employees suggests that the anticipated efficiency gains from AI may not be materializing as expected.The episode also highlights the transition of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to AI-powered personal computers, driven more by the end of Windows 10 support than by a desire for AI features. Over 60% of SMBs prioritize performance, reliability, and security in their purchasing decisions. Managed service providers (MSPs) are positioned as essential partners in guiding these businesses through the upgrade process, especially as hiring slows and automation becomes more critical.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the key takeaway is to focus on delivering tangible value rather than succumbing to AI hype. As companies seek reliable solutions amidst economic uncertainties, MSPs can capitalize on the opportunity to provide guidance on effective technology implementations, compliance, and governance. The evolving landscape underscores the importance of building trust through measurable results and strategic partnerships, particularly as hyperscalers like Google and AWS enhance their AI infrastructure capabilities.  Four things to know today00:00 Everyone's Blaming AI for Layoffs — But the Real Problem Is Old-Fashioned Economics04:35 Generative AI Gains Global Trust, But Weak Governance and Deferred Spending Signal Market Correction Ahead09:29 SMBs Upgrade for Security, Not AI — MSPs Poised to Benefit as Hiring Stalls and Demand for Guidance Rises12:41 Google Unveils Ironwood AI Chip as AWS Expands MSP Program — Hyperscalers Double Down on AI Infrastructure and Partner Enablement This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship

Brantley Pearce, Chief Technology Officer at RJ Young, discussed the integration of IT services, workflow automation, and workplace technology within the managed services sector. RJ Young, a 70-year-old organization with approximately 700 employees, has been providing managed services since 2012 and has seen significant growth, now generating $12 billion in revenue. The company emphasizes a collaborative approach, utilizing account managers as liaisons who work alongside specialists to deliver tailored solutions that meet client needs while maintaining operational efficiency.The conversation highlighted the growing importance of compliance, particularly in relation to the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) for Department of Defense contractors. RJ Young is actively engaging in this area, recognizing the demand for compliance services among small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that often lack adequate security measures. Additionally, the firm is focusing on enhancing clients' security postures through network segmentation and the implementation of Security Operations Center (SOC) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services.Pearce also addressed the challenges of workflow automation, noting that many organizations struggle to implement these solutions due to their day-to-day operational demands. While there is interest in AI and automation, the most effective solutions are those that are already integrated into existing platforms. The need for human involvement in understanding and optimizing business processes remains critical, as many clients are too occupied with immediate tasks to focus on long-term improvements.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT service leaders, the discussion underscores the necessity of evolving service offerings to include compliance and security solutions while maintaining a human-centric approach. As automation technologies advance, the ability to provide strategic guidance and personalized service will differentiate successful MSPs in a competitive landscape. Engaging clients in meaningful conversations about their business goals and challenges will be essential for fostering long-term partnerships and driving growth.
