If your company relies on call centers to support your customers, you'll want to listen to this podcast.  The Federal Communications Commission just put out a sweeping proposal to require the significant onshoring of non-US based call center operations implementation of new customer service standards, such as language proficiency requirements.  FCC mandates would normally only apply to companies that the FCC historically regulates—telecom carriers, cable providers, and wireless and satellite companies, etc.—but in this recent proposal, there's a shocking twist: the Commission is exploring whether to use a somewhat obscure statutory provision to extend its call center customer service mandates and onshoring requirements to any business that uses a U.S. phone number—retailers, banks, healthcare providers, you name it.    In this 12-minute episode of Staying Connected, Tony Mangino and Andrew Brown discuss the proposed rules, why the FCC thinks it has the authority to mandate customer service standards and call center operations of companies it does not regulate, and what enterprise customers need to do before these rules reshape their costs and vendor relationships.

Come on a journey with me to another era and another place. Cabaret Boreale aren't from these times, though the band's members, Katie Lynne, Don Reinholm, Phil LaDouceur and Andrew Brown certainly are.Katie, Don and Phil formed this ensemble around the time Andrew Brown was earning acknowledgment for his project Djangophonique (another act that leans heavily into another era).

We're proud to have provided 100 informative, humorous, and occasionally thrilling episodes of Little Questions - the podcast for all of us working with or working in Corporate Affairs, Communications and PR. To mark our 100th episode, we have gone back into the archives and pulled moments from the conversations that still resonate. In this special episode - the last to be hosted by Matt Young and Andrew Brown - we look back at some of the best moments from our last 100 shows: PR - is it a trade, an art, a profession - or are we just making it up? The challenge of explaining what you actually do for a living - to anyone, but especially your mother - gets a proper airing. The CEOs who get it. Amanda Blanc (CEO @ AVIVA) "total brutal honesty, no smoke-blowing please". Henry Englehart (Founder of Admiral), who heard himself discussed in the storytelling episode, asked to come on, and delivered a very direct conversation about leadership communications. Winners, losers in the world of Comms: Shania Twain. Matt Hancock. Elon Musk. A Jaguar rebrand with no actual plan behind it. Thank You for Smoking. Edina Monsoon. Deciding who you will and won't represent. And the statistic that still surprises us… some of you have listened to several of the episodes more than once. What are you all doing with your lives!? Little Questions will remain at batting crease and will be looking to make another 100 episodes. So Apella partners, Jenny Scott and James Kirkup, will shortly be putting on the pads and helmets, and ready to knock up another century of wisdom and wit.

In this episode of the Exceptional Sales Leader Podcast, I am joined by Andrew Brown, a veteran in B2B referral program management. We delve into the art and science of developing effective referral systems, touching on how businesses can ethically and efficiently leverage this powerful tool to boost sales velocity, volume, and value. Andrew, drawing on decades of experience and insights from his book “Get Referred,” underscores the significant discrepancy between successful and unsuccessful referrals, emphasising the need for structured and strategic referral programs that focus on growth rather than mere scale. Andrew discusses common misconceptions about referrals, such as the over-reliance on existing customers for referrals and the erroneous belief that monetary incentives are the sole motivators for referral partners. He highlights the critical nature of understanding the skills, willingness, and opportunities of potential referral sources, and he shares practical methodologies for achieving transformed, bottom-of-the-funnel referrals that deliver superior ROI, block competition, and hasten the buying process. This episode is rich with insights on how disciplined management of referral networks can lead to swift and reliable business growth, ultimately establishing referrals as a vital arrow in an organisation’s business development quiver.

In this message from Matthew 18:15–20, Pastor Andrew Brown explores Jesus' teaching on correction, accountability, and reconciliation within the family of God. While often misunderstood, this passage reveals the heart of church disciplinenot punishment, but restoration. Jesus gives His followers a clear path for addressing conflict in a way that protects the community, pursues truth, and seeks to win our brothers and sisters back into healthy relationship.Series: The Book of Matthew | Date: March 15th 2026

In a world that occasionally feels like it's teetering on the edge, the demand for "wise counsel" has never been higher. In this episode of the Little Questions Podcast, we turn the spotlight on advice, the good, the bad, and the confidently delivered but completely wrong. Because in Corporate Affairs and Communications, advice isn't just part of the job, it is the job. Whether it's guiding reputations through choppy waters, helping leadership navigate tricky moments, or answering the unexpectedly high-stakes question of what a CEO should wear to an awards dinner, we're in the business of judgement. And most of the time, we get it right. …most of the time. Apella Partner Andrew Brown shares some of the best advice he's given (and received), alongside a few moments where things didn't quite go to plan. From genuinely valuable insights to the kind of counsel you politely ignore, and occasionally wish you had, we explore what separates wisdom from hindsight. Along the way: Why demonstrating commercial impact is non-negotiable The uncomfortable truth about hiring (and being judged for it) When leaders need a "suck it up" moment Why getting ahead of an issue matters more than reacting to it And some truly questionable guidance that's best left in the past We also reflect on the reality that even the most experienced advisers get it wrong sometimes and why that's not just inevitable, but useful. After all, as one famous cinematic strategist once proved… even the most confident advice can have fatal flaws.

CT Mirror's Andrew Brown talks about the possibly shady story of funding given to Hartford home renovations that were rescinded when they were probed and audited.

If your organisation's culture were described anonymously tomorrow, would it match what's written in your annual report? In this episode of The Little Questions, we explore how culture failures move from being internal concerns to full-scale reputational crises, often catching leadership by surprise, despite long-standing warning signs. We examine what happens when aspiration outruns operational reality, how purpose language can over-promise, and why boards so often ask, "How did we not see this coming?" Apella partners Andrew Brown and Matt Young examine why culture scandals so often become governance, trust and market stories, and ask a deceptively simple (little) question: when culture failures hit the headlines, are they HR problems or corporate affairs failures?

In this episode, Denise Garth is joined by Sarah Woodrow and Andrew Brown from Aviva to share how they've transformed loss control from traditional site visits to a digital-first model using video inspections, self-surveys, and powerful analytics. They reveal how launching Aviva Self-Assess during COVID reshaped customer engagement, unlocked major time and cost savings, supported sustainability goals, and set the stage for new capabilities like an impairments module and data-driven risk insights that deliver greater value for commercial customers.

Do you remember when we were told the world was heading inexorably towards globalisation? That technology would dissolve borders, that liberal stability was the model forevermore, and that everything was, more or less, under control? Yeah. About that. In this episode of The Little Questions, we're not here to solve geopolitics (there are people far better qualified doing that already). Instead, we take a grumpy, passionate look at how recent stories have been handled - or more accurately, mishandled - from a PR and communications perspective. From accidental emails and executive ego clashes to corporate silence and spectacularly bad judgment calls, this episode is a masterclass in what not to do when things go wrong. Joining Apella's Matt Young to mutter into the microphone is Andrew Brown. What we cover in this episode Amazon's accidental email nightmare What happens when job losses are revealed by mistake and why leaning in might not always be the right communications strategy. Musk vs O'Leary: PR genius or performative chaos? Ireland's greatest-ever swearer meets Silicon Valley's biggest ego – grab the popcorn for a PR cage-fight masterclass Quelle horreur! Why banning children from first class on French high-speed trains tells us more about brand values than policy documents ever could. Trust, values and social fracture New research suggesting most Britons don't trust people with "different values" and what that means for brands trying to speak to everyone. The Spotify star who might not exist AI artists, manufactured authenticity, and what happens when the audience realises the emperor may have no clothes. South East Water's communications disaster Yes, the operational failure was bad. The CEO hiding made it worse. A reminder (again) that visibility, accountability and clarity matter. Holiday Inn's 'Waitrose moment' When a brand says "no" to homeless people and why it might be a sign that something more serious is amiss. If you enjoy a slightly exasperated take on PR failures, corporate ego, and avoidable messes, this one's for you.

In this episode of Sales Is King, host Dan Sixsmith kicks off the show's 10th year and the launch of a brand new studio with a powerhouse guest: Andrew Brown, Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer at Red Hat. Andrew shares how Red Hat is driving double‑digit growth with its hybrid platforms, automation, and AI capabilities—while staying anchored in long‑standing values like freedom, courage, commitment, and accountability. He also breaks down how AI is really changing sales, what separates top sellers from the middle of the pack, and why “happy customers” is his simple, non‑negotiable definition of success.​Red Hat's growth engines in 2025Three core platforms: Enterprise Linux, OpenShift (containerization/virtualization), and automation.​Why true hybrid (on‑prem, private cloud, hyperscalers) is resonating with customers globally.​The acquisition of Neural Magic and how Red Hat is playing in AI inference.​Values that customers actually feelHow Red Hat's long‑standing values—freedom, courage, commitment, accountability—show up through products and people, not posters.​Stories from customer visits (including India) where clients proactively praise the team, not just the tech.​The call to become CRO and first 90 daysHow Andrew was tapped from IBM by Rob Thomas to run “anything that touches revenue” at Red Hat.​Why he changed almost nothing at first: two ears, two eyes, one mouth—used in that ratio.​Moving the organization from “growing” to truly unlocking the next growth curve, with alignment on one vision and one belief.​What really separates top sellers from the middleActive listening as a true differentiator—probing pain, impact, and outcomes versus just hearing words.​Never settling: aiming beyond the renewal, operating on the “front foot,” and treating success and failure the same way.​A sports mindset: being ready for the clutch moments, orchestrating stakeholders, and failing at least 50% of the time but getting back up.​How AI is reshaping sales at Red HatBuilding and buying: Red Hat's own AI assistant embedded in sellers' workflow (Slack → CRM opportunity creation) plus tools like People.ai to free managers from data validation and focus them on coaching.​The big challenge: not building AI models, but getting them into production at scale with governance, cost control, and the right deployment (cloud vs. on‑prem).​Why only a small percentage of AI projects show real value today—and what needs to change.​Channel and ecosystem as revenue multipliersWhy a significant share of Red Hat's revenue runs through partners and how they're enabled pre‑ and post‑sales.​Technical certifications, revamped partner programs, and advisory boards to keep value and alignment high.​Customer success and value realizationConsolidating scattered customer success pockets into a central, technical CS team that engages the day after the contract is signed.​Focus on hands‑on deployment, embedding Red Hat tech in customer architectures, and rescuing under‑utilized hybrid commitments.​The direct link Andrew sees between CS, value realization, and recurring revenue uplift.​Andrew's personal journey and leadership lessonsFrom aspiring soccer player to IBM intern to CRO at Red Hat.​Doing an MBA nights/weekends to bridge technology and business outcomes in C‑level conversations.​Early “bad” first management role and learning from white‑space, door‑to‑door style selling.​Influences from Lou Gerstner and other mentors: keep it simple, communicate clearly, don't define your life only by work.​Andrew Brown is Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer at Red Hat, where he leads all revenue‑touching functions globally across sales, services, and ecosystem partners. Prior to Red Hat, Andrew spent nearly three decades at IBM in a variety of technical, sales, and leadership roles, combining a deep technology background with a strong commercial track record.​

In this episode of Weld Wednesday with AWS, I sit down with Andrew Brown, host of The Lost Art of Skilled Trades Podcast, live from FABTECH 2025 in Chicago. Andrew and I dig into the real numbers behind the Skilled Trades shortage — including the projected need for over 320,000 welders by 2029 and the retirement wave that could pull more than 157,000 welders out of the industry in the next decade. I share how I first discovered the workforce gap when I moved into teaching, and Andrew breaks down why so many companies are struggling to connect with Gen Z. We talk about wage issues, soft skills, entry-level expectations, and why companies can't just post an ad and expect welders to line up anymore. We also get into a topic that both of us feel strongly about: mentorship vs. gatekeeping. I talk openly about my own early struggles finding someone willing to teach me, and Andrew explains why passing knowledge down is critical if we want the next generation to succeed. We wrap up with a discussion on automation, co-bots, and why welders, pipefitters, ironworkers, and aerospace fabricators continue to be irreplaceable in a world that's becoming more digital every year. If you care about the future of the welding workforce, this is an important conversation.   To get involved with AWS click here

Ever feel like you were headed one way and life blew you somewhere else? In Acts 27–28, Paul is promised Rome, then runs into hurricane winds, a shipwreck, and a snakebite. Yet God keeps His word in the middle of the storm. Jesus had already said Paul would testify in Rome, and even as the waves rise an angel reaffirms the promise. Our call is to trust what God has said more than what we can see and to obey Him while the seas are still rough.    When the ship breaks, everyone reaches shore safely and a “detour” named Malta becomes a three-month ministry assignment. By the end, Paul is in Rome preaching “without hindrance.” The route changed; the promise held; the mission advanced.     Here’s a couple key takeaways • When your plans break, hold to God’s promises. He keeps His word even in the storm.   • Detours are often assignments. Serve where you land and watch God work • Chains cannot chain the gospel.

Because they're solving the wrong problem.In this episode, Dr. Andrew Brown, author of “Taming Your Dragon: Addressing Your Technical Debt,” reveals a profound insight: technical debt isn't fundamentally a technical problem. It's a trade-off problem rooted in human bias, organizational systems, and economic incentives. Through his innovative “Technical Debt Onion Model,” Andrew shows how decisions about code quality happen across five interconnected layers, from individual cognitive biases to wicked problem dynamics.Andrew explains why the financial debt analogy is dangerously misleading and, more importantly, how others can rack up debt you'll eventually pay for. Drawing from behavioral economics, systems thinking, and organizational theory, he reveals why our emotions, not logic, drive most technical decisions, and how to work with this reality rather than against it.Key topics discussed:Why technical debt is a trade-off problem, not technicalHow emotions override logic in critical decisionsThe Technical Debt Onion Model framework explainedPrincipal-agent problems sabotaging your codebaseExternalities: who pays for shortcuts taken today?Why burning down debt is already too lateUlysses contracts for managing future obligationsSystems thinking applied to software developmentWicked problems: why different teams see different solutionsAI's impact on technical debt creationTimestamps:(00:00:00) Trailer & Intro(00:02:24) Career Turning Points(00:06:06) The Importance of Skilling Up in Tech(00:06:49) The Definition of Technical Debt(00:09:08) The Broken Analogy of Technical Debt as a Financial Debt(00:09:58) The Role of Human Bias and Organization Issues in Technical Debt(00:12:41) Tech Debt is a Trade-off Problem(00:13:07) Building a Healthier Relationship with Technical Debt(00:15:15) The Technical Debt Onion Model(00:18:17) The Onion Model: Trade-Off Layer(00:25:10) The Ulysses Contract for Managing Technical Debt(00:33:03) The Onion Model: Systems Layer(00:36:32) The Onion Model: Economics/Game-Theory Layer(00:41:50) The Onion Model: Wicked Problem Layer(00:48:10) How Organizations Can Start Managing Technical Debt Better(00:52:03) The Al Impact on Technical Debt(00:56:16) 3 Tech Lead Wisdom_____Andrew Brown's BioAndrew Richard Brown has worked in software since 1999, starting as an SAP programmer fixing Y2K bugs. He realized the biggest problems in software development were human, not technical, and has since helped teams improve performance by addressing these issues.Andrew coaches organizations on software development and quality engineering, focusing on technical debt, risk in complex systems, and project underestimation. He investigates how cognitive biases drive software problems and applies behavioral science techniques to solve them. His research has produced counterintuitive insights and fresh approaches. He regularly speaks at international conferences and runs a growing YouTube channel on these topics.Follow Andrew:LinkedIn – linkedin.com/in/andrew-brown-4b38062YouTube – @behaviouralsoftwareclub705Email – brownsensei@hotmail.com Taming Your Dragon – https://www.amazon.com/Taming-Your-Dragon-Addressing-Technical/dp/B0CV4TTP32/Like this episode?Show notes & transcript: techleadjournal.dev/episodes/239.Follow @techleadjournal on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram.Buy me a coffee or become a patron.
