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.

When clients come to work with me, one of the most common stories I hear is: "I've already spent THOUSANDS of dollars healing." This story often comes with a mix of bitterness, grief, and discouragement, but the most dangerous emotion it can come with is distrust. While other emotions like bitterness and grief can be painful or heavy to bear, distrust is one of the most dangerous emotions I see potential clients have because it breaks their ability to rely on others. Relying on others is something we all need to heal, because whether it's a matter of paying an expert to help us do something or simply trusting a friend or family member to care about us and bear our burdens with us, distrust sows the seed of unwillingness to move forward and get what we actually need to heal - others. That's why, on today's episode, I'm digging into the topic of how to handle the distrust that comes along when multiple providers or "solutions" you've paid time, money, and effort on end up in disappointment and pain. On this episode, I'll be sharing parts of my own personal story with distrust and discouragement in my health along with quotes from a book I've been digging into on trust, and stories from the lives of my clients. Whether you're trying to heal your gut, hormones, thyroid, brain, or any other set of symptoms or diagnoses - I hope this episode encourages you and gives you brain something new to chew on as you move forward in healing.

Managed service providers (MSPs) are increasingly allocating budgets for ransomware payments, with a recent report indicating that 45% have set aside funds specifically for this purpose. This trend raises concerns about normalizing the act of paying criminals, as many experts argue that such practices inadvertently support criminal activities. While some MSPs are turning to cyber insurance for protection, a significant portion remains vulnerable due to a lack of allocated budgets for ransomware payments or insurance. Additionally, MSP leaders are increasingly worried about artificial intelligence threats, which have surpassed traditional concerns like ransomware and malware.A study by AppOmni reveals a troubling disconnect in the security posture of organizations using software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications.

Providers are urged to focus on addressing these basic issues rather than preparing for ransom payments, as this is where they can truly add value and protect their clients.In a concerning development, a startup has been found selling hacked data from over 50 million computers to various industries, including debt collectors and divorce attorneys. This practice raises ethical and legal questions, as the sale of such information may not be illegal in many jurisdictions.

SummaryIn this conversation, Sean Weiss and Terry Fletcher discuss the complexities of accountability in healthcare billing and coding. They explore the challenges providers face in ensuring compliance, the role of coders, and the importance of accurate documentation. The discussion highlights the need for clear communication and responsibility among all parties involved in the billing process, emphasizing that while providers have ultimate responsibility, everyone in the chain must be held accountable for their actions.TakeawaysProviders must ensure accuracy in claims submitted to insurance companies.The buck stops with the provider, regardless of third-party involvement.Coders should not make clinical decisions without proper credentials.There is a significant issue with billing compliance in healthcare.Providers need to educate their staff regularly on coding and billing guidelines.The importance of maintaining meticulous documentation cannot be overstated.Everyone involved in the billing process shares responsibility for compliance.Bad advice from consultants or attorneys can lead to serious consequences.The healthcare billing process is often a vicious cycle of blame.Providers should be proactive in understanding their billing practices.

In this episode, I sit down with Erin Sullivan Wagner for a raw and powerful conversation about something that's too often ignored—sexual health in the context of cancer. Erin shares her personal experience with anal cancer, and what it was like to navigate the trauma of diagnosis and treatment while also feeling abandoned when it came to intimacy and her sexual well-being. We talk about the gaps in cancer care, especially when it comes to women. Why is it that sexual health is often dismissed or completely left out of the conversation? Erin and I unpack how deeply cultural biases and medical liability fears impact the way sexual health is (or isn't) addressed—especially for women. We also dive into the concept of prehabilitation—starting sexual health conversations before treatment begins—and why it's critical that providers get educated and empowered to offer resources, referrals, and support for their patients. Because survivorship isn't just about staying alive—it's about staying connected to your body, your relationships, and your pleasure. This is the conversation I wish every oncology team would hear. Cancer profoundly affects sexual health, yet it's often ignored. Erin's story is a powerful reminder of the trauma that comes with being left in the dark. There's a huge disconnect in how cancer care approaches female sexuality. Male sexual health gets prioritized—female sexual health, not so much. So many patients feel invisible when it comes to intimacy concerns. These conversations need to happen early, not after damage has been done. Cultural discomfort and medical fear of liability keep people from addressing sex. Women are rarely told what to expect sexually after cancer treatment. Quality of life includes sex, pleasure, and connection. We have to normalize sexual health in survivorship care. When we ignore it, the damage can be long-lasting and irreversible. Emotional intimacy matters as much as physical recovery. Prehabilitation should be standard practice. Providers need training—patients need validation and direction. Advocacy matters. This change starts with conversations like this.
