About this listen

 In this episode I’m at the grand opening of AMG Network Hosting’s new office in a former Firestone Tire building in Montgomery, talking with Thomas Baker about his work. He runs a full service IT company that acts as the help desk for businesses from two people to several hundred, either taking over all of their IT or backing up internal teams with specialized skills. We walk through how he bought the old building from a client, saw potential under the wood paneling, and spent about seven months turning it into a functional office. We dig into how security now dominates IT conversations, with cyber threats, misconfigured networks, and hundreds of connected devices in even small offices. Thomas explains why cyber security is both technical and human, why remote work still needs strong protection, and why having a local team that can show up on site really matters.
