Erick and Rich discuss the MCP protocol’s underappreciated security risks and how to handle clients at financial risk due to the ongoing federal government shutdown. Then they’re joined by Glenn Mathis, CEO of Integris, to discuss a giant MSP’s strategy for using AI internally, selling it to clients, avoiding commoditization, and more. And finally, one last thing: why haunted car washes are the Halloween thrill ride America’s been waiting for.
