I've had a Tesla since 2020. This is the first time FSD didn't feel like glorified cruise control. Turns out the cabin's been built for a driverless car for years. The job-to-be-done was never driving.

Measuring the wrong company

A general-purpose technology rarely just lowers the cost of what you already do; what it offers is a different cost structure, and different cost structures get used by different companies.

New products don’t need to be revolutionary, life-changing, or disruptive breakthroughs to succeed.

Entire categories can roll downhill, gathering complexity as they go. Each product one-upping the next until more becomes too much. The cycle feeds itself, never satiated. Competitors locked in a loop of mutual destruction through perpetual over-improvement.

When that happens, the door cracks open for something new.

The newcomer doesn’t have to meet the others where they are. It just has to feel right — like someone opened the curtains and let the sun back in. The type of product that lets people exhale and say, “finally!”

Not groundbreaking. Just grounded. Standing where everyone else forgot to.

That's what happens when your email security just works.

10 days offline.
4 emails waiting.
✅ All legit.

Here's the thing about email security that most people don't realize:
It shouldn't be work.

🤙 We're FIRED up! So was the crowd at Kaseya's TruMethods Peer Quarterly Meeting.

The Mailprotector CTO hit the stage to break down why email security is broken—and how zero trust fixes it.

Check it out for yourself 🤙 Zero Trust Email Security https://t.co/fAn3hrdSsY

Every email demands a decision: Is it safe? Is it urgent? Should you trust it? The mental toll of managing all that noise leaves you drained and distracted from strategic work.

Ben Hathaway outlines a plan for MSPs to fix that using a zero trust approach.

Mailprotector's Chief Technology Officer, Ben Hathaway, takes the stage at the TruMethods Peer Quarterly Meeting to discuss 'The Email Security Reset'.

It's time to change to something that actually protects you and your clients, zero trust email. https://t.co/PHyoeun0vv

Why is business writing so dry?

One reason is that so much of the writing we do in school is fake. The essays are fake in grade school and the business plans are fake in grad school. Teach kids to write fake things as kids and they'll end up writing fake things as adults.

@shawnblanc Love the keyboard. What model is it?

[Werner Vogels @Werner]

I know this sounds sarcastic, but I am serious. What is it that we/our customers want, what are our/their current real pain points we need to solve, and lets then find the best way to do that. Working from tech up, to force it on customers, never is the way.
