If your MCP server has dozens of tools, it's probably built wrong.You need tools that are specific and clear for each use case—but you also can't have too many. This creates an almost impossible tradeoff that most companies don't know how to solve.That's why we interviewed Alex Rattray, the founder and CEO of Stainless. Stainless builds APIs, SDKs, and MCP servers for companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. Alex has spent years mastering how to make software talk to software, and he came on the show to share what he knows.

Ze dachten dat ze ervanaf waren bij Philips. Patiënten, slachtoffers, de Amerikaanse toezichthouder... Met iedereen hadden ze een schikking weten te treffen in het drama rond de apneu-apparaten die vlam vatten. Toch moet Philips nog even herinnerd worden aan het schandaal dat de beurskoers jarenlang in z'n greep had. Want juist die beleggers die hun geld zagen verdampen, die willen nu hun gelijk krijgen. De VEB vraagt de rechter om een onafhankelijk onderzoek, en mocht dat grote fouten bij Philips uitwijzen dan kan er een schadevergoeding geëist worden. Hoe gaat Philips het apneu-spook weer terug in de fles krijgen? En is het dan ein-de-lijk klaar met het drama? Dat bespreken we deze aflevering. Dan pakken we ook de meetlat erbij. We gaan kijken wie de grootste heeft. Amerika of China? We hebben het over hun datacenters. Bedrijven in beide landen blijven maar keer op keer nieuwe plannen aankondigen. De geldput lijkt geen bodem te hebben. Maar wie wint uiteindelijk? En het gaat ook nog over de treurwilg van de dag. Dat is Jerome Powell, de baas van de Federal Reserve. Hij drukt de stemming met een speech vol waarschuwingen over de lage rente, de arbeidsmarkt, en: de 'redelijk hoog gewaardeerde aandelen'.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NVIDIA has made a significant move by investing $5 billion in Intel, acquiring approximately 4% ownership of the company. This partnership aims to co-develop custom data center and personal computer products, integrating NVIDIA's advanced AI and accelerated computing capabilities with Intel's leading CPU technologies. The collaboration is expected to create custom x86 chips that will be manufactured by Intel to NVIDIA's specifications, potentially generating an annual opportunity worth between $25 and $50 billion once the products are launched. Despite this partnership, Intel will continue to develop its own ARC graphic processing units, although the messaging around this dual focus may create confusion.The Federal Reserve has cut interest rates by a quarter point, a decision framed as a risk management measure amid a cooling labor market. While job gains have slowed and inflation remains high, the Fed's cautious approach indicates limited support for deeper cuts. In the tech sector, the U.S. personal computer industry is facing challenges, with shipments declining due to inventory issues and consumer reluctance to upgrade their devices, even with the impending end of support for Windows 10. This stagnation in consumer sales reflects broader economic uncertainties as buyers prioritize essential expenses.Meanwhile, global spending on artificial intelligence is projected to reach nearly $1.5 trillion this year, driven by a boom in cloud data center construction and rising enterprise investments in AI technologies. Despite the enthusiasm surrounding AI, a recent McKinsey report reveals that 80% of companies utilizing generative AI have not seen tangible impacts on their earnings, highlighting a disconnect between the hype and real-world performance. As stock prices rise, recession signals are emerging, suggesting a need for caution in an increasingly concentrated market.Managed service providers (MSPs) are strategically positioned within a $608 billion industry, despite a decline in optimism regarding significant revenue growth. The demand for managed IT services continues to rise, with many providers diversifying their revenue streams by offering consulting and design services. Additionally, IT outages are costing businesses an estimated $76 million annually, emphasizing the importance of uptime over tools. As the landscape evolves, providers must focus on delivering outcomes rather than competing solely on software, ensuring that customers receive the value they need to maintain business continuity. Three things to know today00:00 Fed Rate Cut, PC Sales Slump, and $1.5T AI Hype: Why IT Providers Must Focus on Security and Outcomes04:36 $76M Downtime Losses, Cooling MSP Optimism, 7x Security Multipliers, and Mainframe ROI—All Point to Services as the Real Value08:16 Nvidia Buys 4% of Intel in $5B Deal, Betting on Custom AI Chips for Servers and PCs This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/Webinar:   https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

In 2002, Battlefield 1942 redefined multiplayer shooters by combining infantry, tanks, ships, and planes on massive, team-based maps. We rewind to the roots of DICE and Refraction Games, from digital pinball tables to the ambitious Codename Eagle, and how their merger set the stage for Battlefield's debut. The episode highlights EA's role in finally backing the project, the Refractor engine's technical leap, and the launch maps that turned every match into a story generator. Critics praised its scale and innovation, though single-player bot matches left some underwhelmed. Our conversation explores emergent stunts, early fan culture, influential mods like Desert Combat, and Battlefield's long legacy in shaping online play. Join us as we storm, soar, and shell our way through Battlefield 1942 on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

Missing the server room? Need someone to help with an offline printer? Spend eight hours among your favorite overly refrigerated colleagues.Have you ever noticed how IT folks walk around with waiter eyes when they're outside their domain? You know, waiter eyes, like when you need a refill on your Mountain Dew and the dude or lady catches you in their peripheral… but just keeps walking?And I get it. It's lucky the people who make printers didn't make Voyager, we'd have lost Voyager by the asteroid belt. You can just look at printer funny and it will go offline, but somehow just for your computer. And that's why IT is there right? Aside from guarding their overly air-conditioned domain.Once, I had a manager ask an IT staffer to order him a new chair mat.Usually, when I see IT roaming the office, I remember all those weird mouse issues I want answered. (Mac folks: have you noticed third-party Bluetooth mice acting up? Since updating to Sonoma, I've had nonstop issues with tracking speed resetting. And any time Bluetooth headphones are in use, it somehow causes lag in mouse movement. I've switched back to a wired mouse, for ****'s sake.)So, I get why y'all hide in the server room.

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth DoughertyAlbum: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 090625 Episode #: 1793 Original Broadcast Date: 09/06/2025 Elizabeth pulls no punches in this week's Servers' Revenge, spotlighting what happens when customers lie about tipping. Restaurant workers across the country are venting frustrations over diners who promise tips on the bill but erase them later, leaving servers shortchanged. FOOD TRAVEL USA FAST FACTS About the Show Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don't normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm–7pm (Eastern) / 2pm–4pm (Pacific), we produce and distribute a dozen podcast segments each week.

While Donald Trump is bent on achieving and maintaining “unquestioned and unchallenged global technological dominance”, we're just starting to gear up for the race. There are only about 300 data centres across Canada. And about HALF of them are run by American tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. Host Noor Azrieh sits down with Don Lenihan and Vass Bednar and asks whether we can control our digital sovereignty.

In this episode, the hosts welcome back David Jarvis, co-founder and CEO of Griffin, for his second appearance on the show. The discussion centres on the emerging concept of agentic banking and Griffin's development of the MCP server. David explains how the MCP server enables AI models to interact with banking APIs using a configuration file, significantly enhancing automation and functionality. The conversation explores how this technology could transform areas such as corporate treasury, wealth management, and broader financial services. David outlines how AI agents might one day handle complex tasks traditionally managed by intermediaries like mortgage brokers and treasurers, streamlining operations and reducing costs. While still in the early stages, this innovation is already gaining interest from banks and fintech firms. The episode also looks ahead to the future of AI in banking, examining both the potential and the practical challenges of integrating agentic systems into existing infrastructure. Listeners can find out more via Griffin's website (https://griffin.com/) and blog.

Romans 3:27-31

Episode 203 is stacked, dude. Here's everything I covered this week, all in one place:First off, I'm plugging Megs' new blown booby art. It started as a bit, now it's real. One-of-one paintings made with, you guessed it, paint and boobs. You can buy them right now at wadpod.com/art. Support a local artist, hang them in your house, and flex on your neighbors.-- wawdpod.com/art Then I had to address the Olive Garden incident. Yes, I “hit” an old lady with my car in the parking lot. But before you judge me, she came at my son inside the restaurant first. He was happy, eating his chicken tenders, making a few sound effects like kids do. She waddled over, told Megs she was a terrible mom, then waddled up front to complain again. Servers literally came to apologize to us. People out here policing autistic kids like they run the parenting Olympics. What are we doing?From there we dove into the chaos that is the Cracker Barrel rebrand. New logo, new look, stock prices tanking, internet rioting. I stepped in like the digital savior I am and designed a better logo myself. I'm now officially the face of Cracker Barrel 2025, partnered with their new CEO, who is sneaky hot by the way. Everyone's mad, I think it's fine. Sydney Sweeney's joining me as brand ambassador, and we're saving breakfast one biscuit at a time.Then we had to talk about the Trump T1 phone scam. They're advertising a “gold” Trump phone, but it's literally a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra in a Spigen case… and they left the watermark on. Subscriptions are overpriced, fees everywhere, autopay only, and people are still buying it. Don't give Trump your debit card. Give me your debit card. wadpod.com/art.Trump wasn't done though. He's now using his so-called “peace talks” between Russia and Ukraine as cool points to get into heaven. He literally said on Fox News, “I want to get to heaven if possible. I'm hearing I'm not doing well.” Bro, if your afterlife strategy is saving 7,000 lives a week, maybe start by not scamming people with gold phones.Next up, internet news. AJ and Big Justice dropped their new single “Big Fat Meatballs” and it's the anthem nobody knew we needed. Central PA finally has its Drake and 21 Savage, but with marinara. Go stream it everywhere, or you're un-American.Meanwhile, Trisha Paytas linked up with Arby's. Yes, the queen of chaos is now the queen of beef and cheddar. She filmed a Jamoka Shake commercial that's peak Trisha. She's also out here naming her kids Elvis, Barbie, and Aquaman. Honestly, iconic.And finally, South Park roasted ChatGPT. They dropped a new episode where dudes are using AI to talk to their wives, and I've never felt more seen in my life. I told you already, if AI shuts down, I'm cooked. Emails, scripts, plans—gone. No more What Are We Doing podcast without it.That's the show. Episode 203, we covered:Booby art for sale.Olive Garden old lady beef.Cracker Barrel meltdown.Trump phone scam.Trump trying to buy a ticket into heaven.AJ & Big Justice meatball banger.Trisha Paytas x Arby's.South Park AI jokes.What are we doing?

In this solo episode of Life of a CISO, Dr. Eric Cole returns to the mic after a series of interviews to dive deep into the #1 foundational skill every Chief Information Security Officer must master—securing internet-facing servers. With the rising wave of breaches hitting not just Fortune 50 giants but small and mid-size companies, Dr. Cole walks through the exact steps you must take to go back to basics and become a world-class CISO. From identifying forgotten assets to hardening authentication and revamping your patching strategy, this episode is your blueprint to stop attacks before they start. Dr. Cole also shares real-world breach examples, discusses the risks of relying solely on IT, and explains why a functioning change control board and MFA implementation for admins are non-negotiable. 

Niet verwacht, toch gekregen: goede kwartaalcijfers van Apple. De verwachtingen waren laag, maar analisten zaten ernaast. En hoe. Apple komt met een recordomzet op de proppen! Apple blijkt een heffingshamsteraar. Klanten kochten nog even snel een nieuwe iPhone, voordat tarieven die toestellen duurder zouden maken. Het zorgt voor de grootste omzetgroei in 4 jaar tijd. Deze aflevering hebben we het over die comeback van Apple. Of mogen we het geen comeback noemen?Gaat het ook over Amazon. Dat overtrof de omzet- én winstverwachting. Maar het laat beleggers toch wat schrikken met de kosten. Die zorgen ervoor dat de winst van het derde kwartaal wat lager gaat uitvallen.Het is 1 augustus en dat betekent dat dé deadline voorbij is. Je weet wel, tot vandaag hadden landen de kans om een handelsdeal te sluiten met Trump. We kijken wat er tot nu toe allemaal bereikt is en wat we de komende tijd nog kunnen verwachten. Jij kan deze aflevering trouwens ook nog wat andere verhalen verwachten: De gigantisch succesvolle beursgang van Fisma Reddit, bekend van de meme's, doet het zelf ook goed Universal Music Group maakt meer winst, maar beleggers zien er geen muziek in Bodemonderzoeker Fugro heeft het zwaar Er is een klopjacht op farmaceuten.

Why We Forget Things...AKA Brain FogMedications - Drugs known to impact memory include (anxiety meds like Xanax and Valium, statins (used to control cholesterol), anti-seizure meds, beta blockers, antidepressants, opioids and a certain class of sleeping pills.Depression or anxiety - When you're depressed, your brain is not working at 100%. It's not paying attention to things as well as it usually does, and the memory areas are not doing what they usually do.Diet - Research links ultraprocessed foods with cognitive decline and an increased risk of dementia.Sleep - Not getting enough sleep can make it harder to concentrate, learn new things and create new memories, according to the National Institutes of Health.Trouble hearing - New research suggests a connection between hearing loss and brain health, but hearing aids can help. The study links hearing aids with a 19% lower risk of long-term cognitive decline.Multitasking - Being distracted affects your ability to focus and remember things, and one study finds that multitaskers often have trouble recalling information. And they were young people.Restuarant Red FlagsIt's dirtyThe place is empty - If it's a Monday night, this isn't concerning, but if the dining room is empty during peak hours on a weekend...There's no management presence - Managers are visible in the dining room, greeting customers, talking to tables and helping servers when needed, but if you can't tell who's in charge, it might be because no one is.It's overloaded with social media influencers - Sure, they can help get people in the door, but they might be getting special treatment and freebies to promote a restaurant. The staff argues with you - Mistakes will be made, but staff members should own it and try to make it up to you when that happens. It doesn't matter how good the food is, if the staff argues with you, it ruins the experience.Servers don't know the menu - It shows poor training and “a lack of pride in the product.”You're being upsold aggressively - When it feels like a script or they're harassing you, it's a sign the restaurant is struggling and doesn't care about hospitality as much as sales.New Cheating EmojisAccording to private investigator Paul Jones from ARF Private Investigators, there are some random, innocent-looking emojis that aren't really so innocent. Jones says that if you find your partner texting the croissant or padlock emojis, they're probably cheating on you. “On the surface, it might look innocent, but there's usually a deeper meaning,” Jones explained. “We've had people using a croissant emoji as a way of saying ‘meet me for breakfast,' or the letter emoji as a subtle ‘text me when you're free.'”Second Date UpdateDean and Ariel met on Hinge, and after a fun back-and-forth over messaging, they decided to meet in person. Their first date was sushi and sake bombs in Fremont. She has pulled a Casper.

Bret is joined by Andrew Tunall, the President and Chief Product Officer at Embrace, to discuss his prediction that we'll all start shipping non-QA'd code (buggier code in production) and QA will need to be replaced with better observability.

Send us a textToday's episiode introduces Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard designed to enable Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), to seamlessly interact with third-party tools and data sources. It explains MCP's architecture, including hosts, clients, servers, and external tools, and highlights its benefits such as eliminating knowledge cut-offs, reducing hallucinations, and enhancing AI's capability to perform real-world actions. The discussion also touches upon the growing adoption of MCP servers by cybersecurity vendors to facilitate natural language interaction with security platforms, while acknowledging the potential security implications of this new architectural layer.Support the showGoogle Drive link for Podcast content:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10vmcQ-oqqFDPojywrfYousPcqhvisnkoMy Profile on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prashantmishra11/Youtube Channnel : https://www.youtube.com/@TheCybermanShow Twitter handle https://twitter.com/prashant_cyber PS: The views are my own and dont reflect any views from my employer.

We moeten het echt hebben over Elon Musk. Hoe lang moet Tesla nog onder hem lijden? Voor een tweede keer op rij daalt de omzet - en flink ook. Wanneer het beter wordt, dat weet hij ook niet. Terwijl hij zelf voor heel wat problemen persoonlijk verantwoordelijk is.Beleggers schrikken van de cijfers (en de sombere vooruitzichten) en dumpen het aandeel. Tesla is het slechtst presenterende techbedrijf dit jaar op de beurs. Deze aflevering staan we uitgebreid stil bij de problemen van het bedrijf. Met de belangrijkste vraag: hoe lang mag Musk nog blijven aanmodderen? Blij werden beleggers wél van de cijfers van Alphabet, eigenaar van Google. Dat overtreft de omzet- en winstverwachting. Als klap op de vuurpijl gaat het bedrijf even 10 miljard dollar méér investeren. Christine Lagarde gaat juist even rustig aan doen. De baas van de Europese Centrale Bank verlaagde zeven keer op rij de rente, maar laat die nu voor wat het is. Ze maakt zich zorgen, zegt ze. Over de ‘uitzonderlijk onzekere’ situatie. Welke dat is, vertellen we je.Hebben we het ook over: Een beursbedrijf dat civiel én strafrechtelijk onderzocht wordt De meest geavanceerde Nvidia-chips komen tóch China in Besi maakt beleggers blij met hun blije outlook En het stopt niet met goed nieuws: SK Hynix boekt een recordwinst!

Hackers have used a serious, previously unknown flaw in Microsoft's SharePoint server software to launch a major global cyberattack. The attack has hit U.S. government agencies, universities, energy companies, and more, but only affects on-site servers—not cloud services. Stolen data and encryption keys could let hackers keep access even after systems are patched. Microsoft has released a fix for some versions, but many servers are still at risk. Authorities in the U.S., Canada, and Australia are investigating, with over 50 organizations confirmed as affected so far. The attackers' identity and goals are still unknown. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke.

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. Despite 75% of organizations reporting breaches in the past year, 89% believe they have adequate visibility into their security environments. The study highlights that many incidents stem from permission issues and misconfigurations, emphasizing the need for improved security hygiene. 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. Additionally, researchers have discovered nearly 2,000 AI protocol servers exposed online without any authentication, posing significant risks to sensitive data. Experts warn that individuals whose data is sold may remain unaware of the exploitation of their personal information, highlighting the urgent need for stronger data protections.The UK government is reconsidering its demand for Apple to provide access to encrypted user data, influenced by pressure from the U.S. government. This shift comes after Apple withdrew its Advanced Data Protection Service from the UK, emphasizing its commitment to user privacy. Meanwhile, Meta has rejected the EU's Code of Practice for Artificial Intelligence, citing concerns over regulatory overreach. In contrast, OpenAI has formed a strategic partnership with the UK government to enhance the country's AI infrastructure, indicating a growing trend of governments aligning with major tech players in the AI sector. For MSPs, these developments underscore the importance of engaging in conversations about encryption resilience and understanding the evolving regulatory landscape. Four things to know today 00:00 45% of MSPs Planning to Pay Hackers?

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on a hacking problem at Microsoft.

Gaat de beursgong verdwijnen? Die kans bestaat, als het aan de beurshandelaren in Londen ligt tenminste. De Londen Stock Exchange overweegt om het sluiten van de beurs te schrappen. Ze willen 24 uur per dag gaan handelen. Ze zien dat particulieren juist pas na het sluiten aan het handelen slaan. Daar willen ze op inspelen. Wij, traditioneel als we zijn, zien ook wat haken en ogen. Welke, dat bespreken we deze aflevering. We hebben het ook nog over autobouwer Stellantis .Die komt met een enorme waarschuwing. Beleggers gingen uit van een kleine winst, over de afgelopen maanden. Maar Stellantis helpt ze uit die droom: er komt een verlies aan, van maar liefst 2,3 miljard euro over het eerste halfjaar. We vertellen je over Prosus, dat er alles aan doet om de overname van Just Eat Takeaway door te laten gaan. Ze zijn zelfs bereid om daarvoor een belang in een ander bedrijf af te bouwen. Prosus is ook groot-aandeelhouder van Delivery Hero, een Duitse maaltijdbezorger. De Europese Commissie is daar niet blij mee, want dan zou Prosus een te groot deel van de markt in handen krijgen. Daarom komt Prosus de commissie tegemoet, door haar belang in Delivery Hero te verkleinen. Verder in deze aflevering: Een ruzie tussen een Amerikaanse grootbank en de Chinese overheid Een ruzie tussen PostNL en de Nederlandse overheid Jensen Huang van Nvidia blijft maar aandelen verkopen En krijg je weer een BNR Beurs Handelsoorlog-update?

Americans Are Struggling To Get Off The Couch.Maybe it shouldn't be so comfy.Americans just aren't as active as they used to be pre-pandemic, according to a new study.It finds that we're still logging about six hours of sitting time today, the same as it was in 2021.It seems the technology we started using during lockdown, like Zoom meetings and delivery apps are to blame for us being so sedentary.Marcus Outed His Online Bot GirlfriendMarcus can't help but mess with telemarketers, spam calls, etc. So, when he got a pretty female DM'ing him he was all in. They messaged back and forth until he mentioned the word, "bot." Her account disappeared immediately.Lies Servers Tell To Get Better TipsAislin Parker, a waitress in San Diego, recently shared the hack she counts on for extra cash during her shifts. In a TikTok video, she tells viewers that she added a baby photo to her baby book and tells customers she's a single mom to encourage them to tip her more. Are you a server and what lie have you told? One server said when he messed up, he would just tell his table it was his first day.Second Date UpdateJonah met Talia at an outdoor salsa class in Golden Gate Park.

Hosts: Dave Ross, Brian Seitz, Anthony Hamilton Tipping expectations are out of control—and your guests are noticing. In this episode of Restauranttopia, we break down the rise of tipflation, how digital guilt is changing hospitality, and what operators can do to protect their guest experience while still supporting their teams. Key Takeaways: What is Tipflation? The creeping rise of tipping expectations—from a simple jar to digital prompts that pressure consumers to tip for counter service, takeout, and more. The COVID Effect: The pandemic created a surge in empathy, making consumers more willing to tip generously. Operators quickly adopted technology that made tipping unavoidable. Consumer Fatigue: Guests feel manipulated by screens asking for 20–30% tips for basic transactions, which can damage trust and loyalty. Impact on Restaurants: While higher tips can supplement wages and improve retention, they often come at the expense of the customer experience. Alternative Models: Auto gratuities for large parties can protect staff but risk customer resentment if not communicated clearly. Flat service fees and inclusive pricing can work—but only if widely adopted in a market. Training and transparency are key to any strategy. Best Practices for Operators: Regularly review and adjust your POS tipping prompts—don't default to the highest options. Consider how tipping requests align with your hospitality values. Be intentional about communicating why you have chosen your approach. Audit how tips are pooled, distributed, and taxed to stay compliant.

Andrew Laws has back in my guest chair (if you missed our first conversation, find it here) it, you'll find the link in the show notes). This time we shifted away from SEO tips and took a different route—down a bumpy road lined with good intentions, disastrous mistakes, and a hacker with way too much free time. Andrew's story is packed with humor, hard-earned lessons, and a healthy reminder that if a business idea sounds too easy, it probably isn't really Chasing “Easy Money” Was the First Mistake: Andrew thought starting a web hosting company would be a simple, hands-off business. Instead, he discovered that businesses built on the idea of “set it and forget it” rarely turn out to be easy—or hands-off. The Danger of Blurring Business Boundaries: Hosting friends' and acquaintances' websites felt natural at first, but quickly became overwhelming. When you don't set clear expectations with clients, small favors snowball into major responsibilities. When Things Go Really, Really Wrong: A hacker infiltrated Andrew's server, and when Andrew instinctively shut the server down, it triggered a full-blown meltdown. What followed was a two-year criminal investigation and a front-row seat to the importance of cybersecurity. The Impact of Reputation Damage: Even though the hack wasn't his fault, Andrew's relationships with clients suffered. He learned that when you run a business, you're not just managing services—you're managing trust. Life Lessons Beyond Business: After everything collapsed, Andrew realized he didn't want a business that consumed his entire life. The experience shaped how he approaches work and parenthood today, favoring businesses that align with the life he actually wants to live. Conclusion with Takeaways: Andrew's story is a master class in why there are no shortcuts in business. If it sounds too easy, it probably hides a pile of trouble just waiting to unravel. Set clear expectations with clients early and often, especially about what you will—and won't—support. Understand the real risks behind your business model, and protect not just your income, but your reputation. Most of all, build a business that supports your life, not one that devours it.
