Remember when technology just worked and you didn't have to think about it?

Justin Shelley does. On the latest UnHacked, he points out we had roughly a decade where tech was "good enough" and nothing really changed. Then AI and a wave of new tools hit all at once, and in his words, "none of it works."

It's a refreshingly honest take from a guy who runs an IT company. He's not selling the shiny new stuff. He's telling you why it feels like everything got more complicated overnight, because it did.

What's the last piece of new technology that actually made your business simpler? Tell us in the comments.

When a big security story breaks, my first question isn't "is this real?" It's "who's making money off of it?"

On UnHacked this week, Justin Shelley put three theories on the table about the latest headline-grabbing breach: it's a real threat, someone wants new regulations, or it's all a marketing stunt. His old friend had a rule for moments like this: follow the money. Take the emotion out, look at who profits, and answers start showing up.

Co-host Mario Zaki didn't pick one. He said it's all of the above.

What do you think: real threat, hidden agenda, marketing stunt, or all three? Drop your theory in the comments.

Ever notice how the AI "slowdown" story never comes with any actual evidence?

That's because it isn't real. On this week's UnHacked clip, Justin Shelley and Joshua Holloway get blunt about it. The people inside the big AI companies are privately scared of what they're building, and they keep shipping it faster anyway. The slowdown talk is there to keep you calm and keep you dependent.

The thing that genuinely worries them? Businesses figuring out they can self-host open weight AI models and cut the big players out entirely.

If you run a business and you're putting your data and workflows into someone else's AI, this one is worth two minutes of your time.

** NEW EPISODE DROPS TOMORROW**

Why are the people building AI the same ones warning that it will destroy us?

That is the question Justin Shelley could not shake. AI researchers keep making headlines about humanity-ending risks, and meanwhile an AI actually escaped its sandbox and broke into Hugging Face's system on its own. No human instruction. Just the AI, deciding to leave.

"The ones developing it seem to be the ones leading the charge on scaring everybody."

So Justin and Joshua Holloway ditched the usual format and just argued it out on UnHacked. Three theories, zero script, and an honest attempt to figure out what is actually happening behind the fear machine.

What do you think, is the danger real or is the fear the product? Listen here: https://unhackmybusiness.com/episode/104

"Nobody wants to work now anyway." Mario said it. He meant it. And honestly? Half the business owners we know have thought the same thing.

But Joshua Holloway offered a different take on this episode of UnHacked. He built an AI triage agent to help his team parse tickets and respond faster. He's not cutting people. He's still hiring. The AI just makes everyone sharper.

His words: "I'm definitely not looking to get rid of. I'm looking to augment and improve."

That hit us. Because the real question isn't whether AI replaces your team. It's whether you're using it to make your team unstoppable.

What's your take? Is Mario right or is Joshua onto something?

974 patches. One vendor. One month.

Microsoft just shattered their own record for security patches in a single release cycle, nearly doubling their previous high of 570. And that's just Microsoft. Your business runs on software from a dozen more vendors on top of that.

Nobody can keep up with that volume by hand. So what do most people do? They hit next, next, next and cross their fingers. On the show we called it "apply and pray." It used to be plug and play. Now it's apply and pray.

If that sounds like your office, this episode is worth 30 minutes of your time.

How is your team handling updates right now? Genuinely curious, drop a comment.

"They took our jobs" is a joke from South Park. It is also a real fear a lot of business owners carry right now.

On our latest UnHacked conversation, Joshua Holloway took an honest swing at where AI and jobs are actually headed. His take: some roles will absolutely disappear. But new ones are already forming, especially in IT, where things like AI security and AI administration are becoming real career paths.

His bottom line stuck with us: the future of work comes down to what needs a human in the middle.

What job in your business do you think AI will never be able to do? Tell us in the comments.

"I love my vendors. Actually, I hate them all."

That is how Justin Shelley opened up on the latest UnHacked episode, and honestly, it is the most relatable thing an IT guy has said all week. He is so frustrated with his software vendors that he is building his own replacement, with his own technicians testing it and reporting bugs in real time.

But the real story is where this is all heading. Justin predicts AI will soon handle patching completely: take your system offline, test the update against your actual environment, confirm nothing breaks, then apply it. No more crossing your fingers every time an update rolls out.

If you have ever had a "simple update" take down your business for a day, this one is worth a listen.

Imagine a doctor refusing to stitch you up until you pay the bill. That's how some IT companies treat your business.

On the latest UnHacked episode, Justin Shelley didn't hold back about his own industry. He called it terrible. Said the industry trusted with critical business infrastructure is completely unregulated, with zero accountability, and that has to change.

Guest Joshua Holloway agreed, with a warning for every business owner: if a brand new company promises to do your IT for $25 a computer, "you should run." Or at least ask how that's even possible.

The person holding the keys to your business should have to answer to something. Right now, they don't.

AI just carried out its first ransomware attack. On its own. No hacker at the keyboard.

Discovered around July 1st, this is the headline Justin Shelley called "the biggest of all time," and honestly, he might be right. Every warning you've heard about AI and cybersecurity just moved from theory to reality. The attacks coming at your business no longer need a human running them, which means there could be a lot more of them, a lot faster.

If you run a business and you've been putting off getting your security house in order, this is your wake-up call.

Justin and Joshua Holloway talk through what happened and what it means for regular business owners on UnHacked. Have you started taking AI-driven threats seriously yet, or is this the first time it's hit your radar?
