In this episode of The New CISO, host Steve Moore welcomes Sherri Douville for a conversation that sits outside the show's usual lane — less war story, more blueprint. Sherri works alongside CISOs rather than inside the role, and arrives with a pointed argument about what the job is becoming.She starts with why TTIC exists. IEEE UL 2933 gave healthcare a full-stack standard for clinical IoT device and data interoperability, but a standard on paper does nothing until it is adopted, implemented, and maintained. Getting there in a high-reliability industry means pulling in CIOs, CISOs, physicians, and engineers — and, Sherri admits, negotiating turf wars with bodies who assume you have come for their territory.Then the headline: how to make security cool. Sherri's answer starts with visibility — getting CISOs onto stages, onto podcasts, and into print in front of clinical leadership. Underneath it is a claim about trust. In healthcare, trust is the core of the business rather than an adjacent concern, which makes the CISO its natural steward. With AI pushing trust to the center of every industry, she argues that is the opening to become the rock star of the C-suite.Steve raises a banking CISO's framing of AI as a curious seven-year-old with a gun. Sherri pushes back on the spot: her analogy is the gifted teenager — capable, resource-hungry, and badly in need of direction. That leads to her real thesis. Scarce expertise used to carry economic value, and AI is rapidly compressing the worth of expert analysis. What appreciates instead is judgment, authority, execution, verification, organizational integration, and ownership of the outcome. Executives do not want more reports; they want the security problem to go away without adding coordination burden.The last stretch turns practical. Sherri walks through running Exabeam's open-source Praxen against Medigram's own code — painless to run, with remediation effort scaling to whatever standard you are chasing — and pairs it with Observra for continuous runtime telemetry. She closes on why it matters: when systems go down in a hospital, the real damage is not the outage hour but the fortnight of delays, miscommunications, and pile-up that follows for clinicians and patients.Key TopicsWhy standards bodies stall at adoption, not authorshipMaking security “cool”: visibility, stages, and executive presenceTrust as the core of the business in high-reliability industriesThe gifted teenager vs. the curious seven-year-old with a gunJudgment, authority, execution, verification, integration, ownershipSelective depth and the player-coach executiveRunning Praxen pre-deployment; Observra for runtime telemetryWhat a healthcare outage really costs, 14 to 20 days outGuest BioSherri Douville is CEO and Architect of Medigram and Founder and Chair of the Trustworthy Technology & Innovation Consortium (TTIC). She co-chairs the Trust subgroup of IEEE UL 2933 (TIPPSS), the standard for trust in clinical IoT. Medigram builds and operates Darwin, a governed AI decision platform whose agentic fleet runs in production and writes a sealed governance record at the moment of every agent action — an auditable trail for counsel, courts, insurers, and credit rating agencies. Sherri spent over a decade at Johnson & Johnson across a dozen disease states before physician leaders pulled her into healthcare IT and AI. She calls herself an accidental technologist: a domain expert who got into the code, logging 200 GitHub commits across June and July.GET A DEMO:

What if the hardest moments of your life aren't interruptions to the plan—but part of the blueprint? In this episode of Makes Sense with Dr. JC, we explore the difference between a life that simply happens to you and a life intentionally designed by you. Inspired by a recent conversation with Jack Daly and the philosophy behind his book Life by Design, Dr. JC challenges us to consider an uncomfortable question: Have you actually designed the life you're living, or have you mostly been reacting to the one you were handed? We often spend more time planning vacations, careers, and purchases than we do consciously designing our values, relationships, health, purpose, and legacy. But becoming the Architect of Your Life doesn't mean controlling everything that happens. It means deciding who you will become in response to what happens. Sometimes the greatest teachers arrive disguised as setbacks, adversity, trauma, loss, and even a life-changing diagnosis. These experiences can disrupt the life we planned while simultaneously revealing the life we actually want to live. They clarify what matters, expose what doesn't, and remind us just how precious our time really is. The Good Shift is recognizing that adversity doesn't always destroy the blueprint. Sometimes adversity gives you the blueprint. This episode invites you to reclaim the steering wheel, stop letting circumstances dictate your identity, and intentionally design the person you want to be and the life you want to live. Because if you don't consciously design your reality, there will always be people, circumstances, fears, and expectations willing to design it for you. It's time to look in the mirror, reclaim the keys of trust, and start living full out—not as the person the world expects you to be, but as the person you choose to become.

In this solo episode, Bradley Hamner maps where developing your team actually sits inside a business blueprint. Team is one of the principles in the BlueprintOS operating system, and it carries three playbooks: attract A-players, develop A-players, and retain A-players. This episode covers the middle one and picks up directly from last week's conversation on performance improvement plans.Bradley walks through the three elements of the Develop A-Players Playbook. An ongoing training and development system for people who are years past onboarding. A current state and future state accountability chart that shows each role, who holds it, and the three to five things they own. And a performance management system, which is where PIPs live. He also explains why playbooks operate like gears in a watch rather than silos, and why the accountability chart earns its keep twice, once with the team you have and once with the candidate you are trying to recruit.This conversation moves beyond hiring and into what happens after. What are you doing intentionally to develop someone who has been on the team for five years? Can your current team see what the organization looks like three years from now? And what is your actual process when a good performer drops below quota?

In this episode, I chat with Gerardo Martinez, Executive Director of Educational Technology for Westminster School District, about what educators can learn from the field of architecture when designing meaningful learning experiences. Gerardo shares how his journey from architecture to education shaped his thinking about instructional design and the role of physical learning environments. We also explore his innovative i4 teacher leadership program, why inspiration must precede innovation, and how districts can cultivate cultures in which teachers feel empowered to experiment and grow. Finally, we discuss how AI is reshaping the design process and why the teacher's highest-value work has never been delivering information, but designing learning experiences that foster curiosity, agency, and deep understanding.

1. AI's problem is not lack of usage, it is lack of public advocacy.A growing number of people already use AI in ordinary work and life, often happily and quietly. The public argument, however, is dominated by critics. That creates a false picture: the negative voices sound like the majority because the beneficiaries are mostly just getting on with using the tools.2. The strongest pro-AI case refuses the centralization-versus-distribution binary.One side argues frontier AI is too powerful to distribute broadly, so it needs centralized control by large companies and the state. The other argues it is too powerful to centralize, so capability should diffuse through open models, local hardware, and edge systems. The better answer is both: large frontier labs to fund and push capability forward, and distributed edge AI to bring privacy, resilience, ownership, and low-cost access closer to users.3. Metering intelligence is not sinister; it is how abundance becomes practical.AI requires huge investment in chips, data centers, power, software, routing, and product infrastructure. Metering does not mean charging for human thought. It means making the cost of access legible: which model is doing the work, what task is worth paying for, who pays, and when. Stripe and OpenRouter matter because markets cannot become abundant if nobody can price, route, govern, or pay for what is being consumed.4. The Human Dividend has two parts: cheap access and shared ownership.AI has 2 dividends for us humans. The first dividend will be free or very cheap intelligence for individuals, schools, hospitals, and light everyday use. The second will be broader participation in the economic surplus created by AI. Access alone is not enough. If intelligence becomes a foundational input like electricity or money, then ordinary people should have some ownership claim on the infrastructure whose value they helped create.5. Champions win permission; architects make the system work.AI needs public champions who can explain why the buildout is worth the cost. It also needs intelligent architects: people designing the identity systems, agent rails, security models, local inference, energy markets, public-feedback loops, liquidity structures, and resilience plans that make AI usable in the real world. Champions make the case. Architects make the case true. This is a public episode.

In this solo episode, Bradley Hamner makes the case that the business owner is the wrong person to document the company's systems and processes.Bradley revisits the three components of a blueprint: personal leadership, a roadmap for growth, and an operating system built on documented playbooks. He explains why appointing a systems champion, someone already on the team who owns documentation as an actual job, moves the work further than the owner will ever manage alone, and how AI now compresses the time it takes to produce a playbook.This conversation moves beyond agreeing with the concept and into the appointment itself. Who on your team is closest to how the work actually gets done? What happens to your documentation when it depends entirely on your own calendar? And what changes if the only parts you own are the first ten percent and the last ten percent?

In an un-siloed world where public spaces face evolving threats, Kirk Rose and Sergio Lechuga detail how intentional design, community trust, and “invisible layers” protect people without building prisons. This is only a part of what makes HMC Architects a people-focused firm and one built for the future. he Convo By Design Icon Registry is presented by Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home. In this follow-up conversation, I attempt to anchor a deep dive into the changing nature of safety and security in architectural design. Kirk Rose (Healthcare Practice Leader at HMC Architects) and Sergio Lechuga (Director of Interior Design at HMC Architects). The dialogue builds upon a previous conversation to explore how architects, acting as true futurists who design structures to last 75 to 150 years must proactively engineer spaces for unthinkable modern threats. From emergency room protocols to K-12 campus layouts and civic centers, Kirk and Sergio break down how rigid, intrusive security (like airport-style metal detectors) can erode human experience and mental well-being. Instead, they champion an approach of subtle, “porous” architectural layers and operational human protocols. The trio bridges these heavy commercial insights with residential realities, concluding that real safety relies heavily on human awareness, technological adaptation, and the ultimate luxury: a connected community. And this is just partly why the entire HMC Architects firm are inductees for the month of August, 2026 in Convo By Design Icon Registry presented by Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home. Architects as Futurists vs. Designers: Josh establishes that while interior designers typically plan for 5-to-25-year cycles (allowing for aesthetic refreshes), architects must project safety, utility, and durability 100+ years into the future. The Psychology of Security: Walking through metal detectors or staring through barred windows drastically alters a child’s or a patient’s state of mind. Sergio explains how HMC organizes K-12 buildings to act as a natural perimeter courtyard, eliminating the need for aggressive fencing while maintaining clear sightlines and controlled points of access. The Fallibility of the Metal Detector: Kirk highlights a counterintuitive healthcare trend: many public hospitals are actively removing physical metal detectors. Because weapons can be bypassed or thrown over gates, facilities rely instead on roving security, trained staff, and strict internal “back-of-house” zoning accessible only by keycard. The “Aleatory Space” & Community Trust: Drawing on an architectural concept of un-owned public property (aleatory space), the guests argue that the true front line of residential security isn’t just an automated floodlight or a ring camera—it is genuine rapport and old-fashioned communication between neighbors. High-Tech Human Interventions: Kirk shares sophisticated backend systems used in modern maternal wards, such as infrared infant abduction systems paired with “delayed egress” alarms. These systems demonstrate that effective security is always a blend of automated tech and rapid human operational protocol. Security as the New Ultimate Luxury: Pre-pandemic design focused heavily on air, water, and sound quality. Today, Josh and the guests observe a market evolution where invisible, seamless security infrastructure has officially shifted from an afterthought to a core luxury expectation.

Send us Fan MailYour data is not “in the cloud” in some magical place. It is on someone else's computer, under someone else's rules and that changes everything once AI enters the picture. I sit down with Ehsan Darweshi (Founder and Architect at QANAT) and Georg Schmejkal (Growth lead and founding team) to unpack the real business cost of modern tooling: the quiet trade of convenience for dependency, and the growing fear that confidential work can leak, be profiled, or be used to train models you do not control.We dig into what people get wrong about data ownership in Web2, why “free” often means you pay with personal data, and how a lack of transparency erodes trust between brands and customers. Ehsan breaks down the difference between privacy and digital sovereignty using a simple metaphor: privacy is locking the door, sovereignty is being able to move freely without being watched. From there, we explore data gravity, vendor lock-in, and why switching platforms can feel impossible once your workflows and LLM learning are baked into a provider.AI makes this urgent. We talk about LLMs acting like internal employees without NDAs, risks like prompt injection, and why private AI and zero trust, zero knowledge architectures matter for companies of any size. Georg shares why digital sovereignty is now a government and enterprise priority, with lessons from a UAE roadshow, and we close with a practical, staged path for founders and marketers who rely on Google, LinkedIn, Meta, and AI platforms but still want control.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on August 4, 2026.

The GLP-1 boom is changing how millions of people approach weight loss, but what happens to the gut when these drugs slow digestion and intestinal motility? In this episode of The Architect of Resilience, I sit down with Charlie Weingroff to break down the connection between GLP-1 drugs, gut permeability, oral peptides, inflammation, and systemic health. We explore why oral peptides are often dismissed, how formulation affects absorption, the impact of toxic mold on gut health, hormones, and mitochondrial function, and the role of compounds like lactoferrin in gut and iron management. https://chrisduffin.com/ Coaching, Peptides, Supplements, eBooks & Merch, Education, and my Free Community!

Do you remember hearing from your Higher Power for the very first time?John Novello heard a voice from Source — what he calls the Invisible Architect — telling him, “Point to the keyboard,” at the ripe, old age of three.

In this solo episode, Bradley Hamner opens a series on developing and coaching team members with a case for performance improvement plans. Most small business owners treat a PIP as a cover-your-back document and a signal that someone is already on the way out. Bradley argues that stigma costs owners good people and real money.He walks through four reasons owners skip PIPs, including corporate red tape stigma, close personal relationships with staff, and the absence of any HR infrastructure. He then lays out four reasons to use them: forcing concrete clarity on expectations, protecting the business legally and financially, relieving the invisible strain that unaddressed underperformance puts on A players, and keeping people worth keeping. He shares a client who built automatic PIP triggers into the culture and retains more than 80 percent of the people who go on one.This conversation moves beyond documentation and into how owners actually develop people. What does good performance look like in concrete numbers? Who on your team is quietly absorbing someone else's workload? And what does it cost to replace a person you could have coached?

Jacqueline van den Ende over investeren in de toekomst: waarom geld de architect van morgen is "Geld is letterlijk de architect van de toekomst." Klimaatverandering is misschien wel de grootste uitdaging van deze tijd. Volgens ondernemer Jacqueline van den Ende lossen we die niet op door minder te consumeren, maar door slimmer te investeren. Jacqueline is oprichter en CEO van Carbon Equity, een platform waarmee particulieren kunnen investeren in klimaattechnologie. In deze aflevering laat ze zien waarom ondernemerschap, innovatie en kapitaal samen de sleutel vormen tot een duurzamere wereld. Je hoort onder andere: Waarom geld bepaalt welke toekomst we bouwen Hoe ondernemers de grootste maatschappelijke problemen kunnen oplossen Waarom investeren in klimaattechnologie óók een zakelijke kans is Hoe je de beste mensen aanneemt en een high-performance cultuur bouwt Waarom grote ideeën ontstaan op het snijvlak van verschillende werelden Een inspirerend gesprek over ondernemerschap, investeren en bouwen aan de wereld van morgen.

At Timken, it was generally known that Phil Fracassa knew he would become CFO after the company separated its steel business. But first, he tells us, the board gave him a different assignment: lead the project management office and set both resulting companies up for success.The separation followed pressure from an activist investor and extensive board consideration of strategy, stakeholder impact, operating performance, capital allocation, risk, and long-term shareholder value, according to Fracassa. Once the decision was made, his team had just under a year to carve out a business that had been part of Timken for 85 years.That meant standing up and staffing a company, capitalizing it, unwinding entanglements, separating systems, establishing processes, and developing public-company protocols. Fracassa tells us the work reached virtually every function, including legal, HR, IT, operations, finance, treasury, and tax.His own position carried a particular tension. Although Fracassa knew where he would land after the spin, he says he had to remain “independent, fair, impartial.” His decisions had to serve both companies—not just the one where he would soon hold the CFO title.According to Fracassa, the experience brought together the disciplines he had accumulated across his career. It also left him with a durable conviction: “Strategy really lies in the execution.”Great ideas and thoughtful analysis were not enough, he tells us. Value emerged only when people came together, worked through the issues, and executed. For Fracassa, that is where finance becomes most powerful: beyond the numbers, serving as “an architect of execution” inside the business.

In this solo episode, Bradley Hamner shares the framework he built to take an idea from concept to rollout. He opens with the maxim behind it, ideas are everywhere and implementation is everything, and explains why a business doing $500,000 to $1.5 million cannot afford to throw ideas at the wall when money, team capacity, and owner bandwidth are all limited.Bradley walks through the five phases of the document: naming the idea and the problem it solves, filtering it through acquisition, ascension, retention, efficiency, or profit, defining a best case and a minimum win, assigning a single owner with a communication plan and timeline, running a pre-mortem on what could go wrong, and reaching a verdict. He also explains why owners are better arsonists in their businesses than firefighters.This episode moves beyond idea generation and into restraint. Which ideas actually deserve your team's capacity? Who owns the rollout after the excitement wears off? And does the door you are about to walk through swing both ways? If you generate more ideas than your business can absorb, this episode is for you.Visit https://workshop.blueprintos.com to register for the upcoming Above The Business workshop.Thanks to our sponsorsCoach P ConsultingCoach P found great success as an insurance agent and agency owner, leading a large and stable team of top-performing professionals.

The Edge of Risk Podcast by IRMI welcomes Joe Reynolds, executive vice president at RT Specialty, to discuss a framework for consideration regarding professional liability when contractors are collaborating with design professionals on design-build projects. Originally presented as a Snap Talk at the 2025 IRMI Construction Risk Conference, Joe highlights the importance of implementing appropriate contractual and coverage requirements while considering market availability in such negotiations. Joe discusses adequacy of limits requirements, limitations of liability provisions, and waivers of consequential damages, among other negotiated terms.

AI is everywhere in the headlines right now, but is it actually doing anything positive for engineers? Or is it just going to take jobs and produce less competent engineers by putting everything on autopilot? I sat down with Tobias Pohl, Co-Founder and CEO of CELUS, and Matt Bromley, VP of Product Strategy for Siemens EDA, to try to get past the hype and talk honestly about what agentic AI is actually changing, from early concept and ideation all the way through the PCB design process, and just as importantly, what it's not changing. CELUS and Siemens EDA have partnered to bridge that early, "fuzzy" stage of concept design into the traditional schematic, layout, and manufacturing flow. Toby and Matt talk about how agentic AI is compressing the design flow, from comparing datasheets and selecting components to running simulations, while the architecture and the judgment calls stay firmly with the engineer. They also talk about how agentic AI is now working across toolsets. Engineers can ask a question in one platform and have it orchestrated across another, without all the manual handoffs, file conversions, and integration work that used to eat up so much time and introduce design risks.    00:00 — Introductions Toby and Matt introduce themselves and how the CELUS/Siemens EDA partnership came together. 01:17 — Why CELUS and Siemens EDA partnered The gap between early concept design and traditional engineering tool chains, and how the two platforms connect ideation to schematic, layout, and manufacturing. 04:20 — The real bottlenecks in modern design Why comparing datasheets and chip selection can eat weeks of engineering time, and how a non-linear design process creates constant rework. 07:59 — Where AI is already delivering real value Extracting models and data from datasheets, evaluating BOM choices against manufacturability and lead time, and using AI to interpret simulation results. 11:35 — Inside agentic architecture Toby explains the shift from single LLM assistants to full agentic systems, including guardrail agents, review agents, and orchestration across multiple tools, including agents that hand off work between CELUS and Siemens EDA without the engineer manually reconnecting the two. 17:54 — Does the engineer stay in control? I push Toby and Matt directly on whether AI is encroaching on architecture and design judgment. The answer is still no, and they explain why. 19:39 — Walking the design journey, start to finish Toby and Matt trace a real workflow: describing design intent in natural language, generating an initial architecture, comparing multiple approaches, and handing off an electrically correct design into Siemens EDA tools for simulation, layout, and DFM. 28:19 — Who holds the judgment Why the designer still drives architecture and intent, and how agentic tools add robustness rather than replace decision-making. 35:00 — The hard question about jobs I ask the question our listeners won't forgive me for skipping: didn't software engineers lose jobs when AI hit? Toby and Matt respond with the historical parallel to compilers, high-level languages, and past technology hype cycles. 40:46 — What's next Toby and Matt preview upcoming agentic capabilities across both platforms and how you can start exploring the tools yourself. Key takeaway The engineer remains the design intent and architecture. Agentic AI is built to take the manual grind out of design, the spreadsheets, the datasheet comparisons, the repetitive tool-switching, so engineers can spend more of their time on the judgment calls, the creativity, and the innovation that only they can bring.

In this episode, Bradley sits down with Sean Patton, leadership coach and former Army Special Forces officer, to talk about why the growth of a company tracks the growth of the people leading it. Sean shares his path from West Point and two Green Beret detachment commands into entrepreneurship, including a bankruptcy that cost him everything and the second company he built to a million dollars in self-sustaining revenue.They discuss why vision has to come before strategy, how old beliefs have to be cleared out before new ones hold, and why business growth arrives in stair steps that break the systems built for the previous level. Sean also breaks down what culture requires in practice, including one to ones that carry real feedback instead of status updates, and why he treats self discipline as a design problem rather than a willpower problem.This conversation moves beyond leadership frameworks and into the person applying them. Who do you need to become for the business to reach the next stage? Which beliefs got you here that will not carry you forward? And are your priorities actually in the order you say they are?

Feliks Banel's guests on this LIVE BROADCAST of CASCADE OF HISTORY include Bill Yeend, longtime Seattle-area broadcaster who moved back to his native Spokane several years ago, and Spokane historian Liz Wood. In separate interviews, each describes their experiences on the periphery of wildfires that hit the Spokane area on August 1, 2026. Ms. Wood also describes a recent history project to debunk a particularly persistent Spokane history myth. We also listen to vintage audio of the late, great Spokane-born broadcaster (and radio historian) Bill Brubaker, describing the role that local radio played in Roseburg, Oregon after the August 1958 dynamite blast that leveled the town (Bill and two college friends were there running a radio station that summer - they survived the blast and got on the air ASAP). Finally, we pay tribute to Todd Scott, longtime preservation architect for King County Historic Preservation and all around good guy, whose passing was announced a few days ago.

William Taubman, Part Two: Taubman examines McNamara's "double life" during the Vietnam War under Lyndon Johnson. While acting as the public architect of escalation, including his role in securing the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin Resolution through omitted facts, McNamara privately harbored deep doubts. By 1966, he secretly confessed to aides a desperate desire to bring troops home. His personal life was marked by a close, "opaque" friendship with Jackie Kennedy, who repeatedly begged him to "end the slaughter." Facing increasing pressure from anti-war protests and a fracturing relationship with Johnson, McNamara left the Pentagon to lead the World Bank. He redirected the bank's mission toward helping "the poorest of the poor," which Taubman characterizes as a form of "repentance" for Vietnam. In his later years, McNamara issued serial confessions regarding his mistakes, Agent Orange, and the war's devastating human cost. (2)

What if your greatest initiation wasn't something to overcome... but the very thing that awakened your life's work? In this special Lion's Gate transmission, Danielle shares one of the most important messages she's ever received about the next evolution of leadership, lightwork, and the role conscious entrepreneurs are being called to play as we move toward 2027. She introduces The Catalyst, a brand-new live transmission experience designed to help practitioners, coaches, healers, and facilitators master the Wealth Codes so they become catalysts for lasting transformation in the lives of their clients. Drawing on the metaphor of the butterfly's chrysalis, Danielle explains why your greatest challenges didn't create your gifts, they activated them. She explores what it means to stop fighting for your work, step into true energetic leadership, and become known through the transformation your presence creates. If you've felt a deeper calling to share your gifts, serve at a higher level, and lead from embodied wisdom instead of constant proving, this episode is your invitation to answer it.   In this episode, you'll learn: What Danielle means by becoming a catalyst instead of simply being a coach or practitioner Why the Lion's Gate Portal marks an important energetic preparation for 2027 and beyond The difference between healing others and holding space for their awakening How your initiations activated the gifts you were always meant to share Why your Human Design and Gene Keys aren't new information - they're a remembrance of who you've always been The four identities of conscious leadership: the Advocate, the Alchemist, the Architect, and the Catalyst Why reputation becomes your greatest marketing strategy as your work matures How the PAIED Method helps clients decondition without creating codependency Why your results become more powerful when you stop trying to save people and start empowering them The butterfly chrysalis metaphor and what it teaches us about transformation and identity Why 2027 is calling lightworkers into a new level of sovereignty, service, and leadership What to expect inside Danielle's new Catalyst live transmission experience The world doesn't need more people trying to convince others they're qualified. It needs more people who have fully embodied their own transformation and are willing to stand as an example of what's possible. Your initiations were never meant to keep you small. They were preparing you to become the person whose presence alone gives others permission to awaken. The Catalyst isn't about becoming someone new. It's about remembering who you've been all along, and having the courage to finally let the world experience it.   Links & Resources Learn more about The Catalyst (Pre-Sale ends August 11) Download your Wealth Codes Chart  Get the Email Series That Pays

Samuel M. Katz is a New York Times bestselling author and one of the foremost chroniclers of Middle Eastern conflict, special operations, and intelligence. His latest book, The Architect of Espionage, is the biography of Meir Dagan — the Holocaust survivor turned soldier turned spymaster who reshaped Mossad from a cautious intelligence collector into a direct-action force of global reach. Chris speaks with Katz about the experiences that forged Dagan: rejection from Israel's elite commando ranks, the undercover war he built in Gaza under Ariel Sharon, and the Lebanon fighting that made him a man of war who hated war. The conversation traces his eight-year tenure as Mossad director — the covert campaign against Iran, the intelligence diplomacy that helped lay the groundwork for the Abraham Accords — and what October 7th revealed about the limits of the very apparatus he built.

The Architect Who Learns Fastest Wins in the Age of AIIn this solo session of the EntreArchitect Podcast, Mark R. LePage explains why the architect who learns fastest wins in the age of AI. As information becomes easier to access and technology evolves at record speed, success depends less on what you know today and more on how quickly you can learn, test, and adapt.

Along the way, Mark shares how firms can create a culture that rewards growth instead of perfection. He also explains why waiting for certainty may be the biggest risk of all in today's profession.Mark offers practical ways to develop faster learning habits for yourself and your team. Rather than chasing every new tool, you'll discover how to build a mindset that keeps you ahead no matter what comes next.

In this solo episode, Bradley Hamner continues the Friday sales playbook series with the piece most owners get wrong: how the sales team gets paid. He explains where compensation sits inside an operating system, and why a plan that looks reasonable on a spreadsheet still fails once a rep has to work inside it.Bradley walks through four guidelines every compensation plan should meet. He covers the sixty-second test and the bar napkin test for simplicity, why the plan has to point directly at the objectives the business is chasing, why the business needs a positive return on the money it invests in a rep, and why the rep has to see a clear path to their own income target. He also addresses the real cost of growth and why growing at all costs breaks bootstrapped businesses.This episode moves beyond compensation mechanics and into business economics. Can your reps explain how they get paid without help? Does your plan reward the specific results you need this year? And does it still work when you run the numbers from the company's side of the ledger? If you pay a sales team and are not certain the plan is doing its job, this episode is for you.Visit https://workshop.blueprintos.com to register for the upcoming Above The Business workshop.Thanks to our sponsorsCoach P ConsultingCoach P found great success as an insurance agent and agency owner, leading a large and stable team of top-performing professionals.

Ravi Soin has clear advice for anyone starting a security career today: don't be a risk manager, be a trust architect. In this episode, Steve Moore sits down with Ravi—CIO and CISO at Smartsheet—for a builder's-eye conversation on the modern CISO role, AI as an accelerant on old sins, and why the CISO who still says “no” is already obsolete.Ravi traces his path through Sun Microsystems, RealNetworks, a decade at Microsoft, and 15 years at healthcare software leader Edifecs to his eight months at Smartsheet. He explains what it means to think about security the way builders do—understanding where corners get cut under sprint pressure—and why that inside-out perspective changes how you defend.Steve and Ravi dig into how Smartsheet is deploying agentic AI across the enterprise: a centralized knowledge graph tied to every corporate system, Claude-powered threat models, DAST and SAST scans, SOC triage on the 80% phishing baseline, and MCP-connected asset and license management.They name the old culture directly. It was an era of risk registers where lows and mediums were quietly punted, tens of thousands of known vulnerabilities were accepted as compensating- control fiction, and time-to-exploit was assumed to be forgiving. Both push back on the panicked reaction to the Mythos disclosures, arguing AI has simply closed the exploit window on the trash environments were already ignoring.Ravi's core advice: build trust into the system, think about security through the customer's lens, and treat AI agents as first-class identities under the same IAM principles you apply to humans. He and Steve close on how incident response must be re-fit for the agentic era, why auditability is the non-negotiable foundation of AI governance, and why community remains the sharpest source of learning.Key Topics• Thinking about security like a builder, from the inside out• Why the CISO who still says “no” is already obsolete• Deploying agentic AI across engineering, SOC, and corporate systems• MCP-connected asset and license management• The old risk-register culture and how the industry was gambling• Why the Mythos reaction missed the bigger story• Advice to your 21-year-old self: be a trust architect• Building security through the customer's lensGuest BioRavi Soin is the CIO and CISO at Smartsheet, where he leads global IT and security strategy for the AI-enhanced enterprise work management platform. He brings more than two decades of security and IT leadership, including 15 years as CIO and CISO at healthcare software leader Edifecs and product roles at Microsoft, RealNetworks, and Sun Microsystems.

A ringing phone. A five o'clock deadline. A tree lighting ceremony his kids were waiting for. On this episode of The Proven Entrepreneur Show, host Don Williams sits down with Jarrod Lopiccolo, co founder of Noble Studios, for a conversation that starts with a single choice and ends up rewriting how he leads his company today.Twenty two years ago, Jarrod and his wife started Noble Studios as a creative digital agency built on family values, though never on nepotism. Since then it has grown into a name trusted across travel and tourism as well as B2B industries like fintech, healthtech and manufacturing. But this episode is not about how the agency was built. It is about who Jarrod had to become to lead it, and the moment that forced him to change for good.Don and Jarrod talk openly about the hidden weight seasoned entrepreneurs carry, the loneliness that often sits behind a confident exterior, and the quiet cost of chasing business growth while trying to hold everything else together. Jarrod shares what he calls his duck on water years, times when everything looked calm on the surface while things were moving fast underneath, and what it took to lead his team, his clients and him self through a season that tested all three.Across the conversation, the two dive into topics that matter to anyone building something of their own, from leadership and executive coaching to sales strategy, marketing and lead generation, LinkedIn and personal branding, customer experience and the growing role AI for business is starting to play in how companies connect with people. Whether you run a small agency, sit on a leadership team, or are simply trying to figure out how to grow a business without losing yourself in the process, this episode offers a story you will want to sit with.By the end, Jarrod opens up about the legacy he hopes to leave behind, not measured in revenue or years in business, but in the people who felt genuinely better for having known him. It is a story about entrepreneurship, about business consulting from the inside out, and about learning that letting go is sometimes the bravest business decision a leader can make.Press play and find out what happened the night Jarrod chose a deadline over a tree lighting ceremony, and why he says it is the best mistake he ever made.Mentioned in this episode:Guest: Jarrod Lopiccolo, Co-Founder, Noble StudiosHost: Don Williams, The Proven Entrepreneur ShowCompany: Noble Studios, noblestudios.comConnect with Jarrod: LinkedIn (search Jarrod Lopiccolo)Client mentioned: AutodeskTopics covered: Business Growth, Entrepreneurship, Marketing and Lead Generation, Leadership, LinkedIn and Personal Branding, Business Consulting, Sales Strategy, Executive Coaching, AI for Business, Customer Experience

I'll continue to preface anything regarding AI, or any tech for that matter, that I'm not convinced it will prove to be a net positive for overall human well being. As a tool however, I see some opportunities. Such as, I was sent a device that hangs around my neck like a pendant, that will record my voice when I talk. It feeds into an app where I have set an “intention” that I desire for myself, such as, “I want to be more patient” or in my case, “I want to communicate with taking full ownership of my perspective.” The app then keeps me accountable, to myself. It deeply audits my speech and along with telling me how I did regarding my goal, also helps me understand when interrupted or talked over others. When I started talking fast or used filler words. We communicate all day long and are generally on auto pilot and don't recall all we said or what others said to us, and further and I think more importantly, how we said what we said, which often belies more about us than what…we said. I'm not getting paid to promote this product, because that is not the point. The point is sharing an idea about being more aware of ourselves, and accountable to now what we do, but what we be. Not what we do, but how we are being. My guest is Lyle Maxson who is the founder and CEO of ABOVE, an AI wearable company focused on emotional intelligence and self-awareness. Lyle has spent the last decade working across AI, immersive technology, mental health, and consciousness systems—building what he calls "benevolent technology," designed to help people feel more connected and human, not less. Again, I don't make a dime if you go to https://goabove.ai/ and sign up. In this discussion I go deep into how we are missing ourselves, and how we can better show up, for ourselves and others.

He's a performance coach, TEDx speaker, and international bestselling author of One Jordan — and he built his entire professional network by mailing strangers a single Jordan sneaker with a note: want the other one? Give me a call.It worked on Damon West. It worked on Ben Newman. It worked well enough that John Maxwell built a keynote around the strategy and started naming Chris from the stage — Chris found out because strangers began messaging him on LinkedIn mid-talk.In this conversation, Chris and Josh get into what separates lived adversity from performative resilience: the four ways people show up when adversity hits, why Chris intentionally puts himself in brutal physical situations before life does it for him, and what happened at HYROX in Dallas when he went face-first into the turf twenty meters from the finish and his wife told the paramedics to back up.He also opens up about mental health, PTSD, and why men his size don't have those conversations.In this episode:- The One Jordan strategy and why most people aren't bold enough to try itWhy the gap between top producers and mediocre performers is smaller than you think- Victim, Survivor, Warrior, Architect — the four adversity paradigms- The Adversity Accelerator: training for hardship before it arrives- Why Chris moves foster-care kids to the top of the resume pile- Accountability versus ownership, and what it costs teams when leaders get it wrong- The sentence his grandmother said to him 47 years ago that shaped everythingConnect with Chris Welton:Website: https://chriswelton.liveInstagram: @onehandatatimePodcast: One Hand At A TimeBook: https://onejordanbook.com Connect with Josh Kosnick:https://joshkosnick.comLife Quotient Assessment: https://www.joshkosnick.com/assessmentSpartans — share this episode far and wide.CONNECT WITH ME HERE:FacebookInstagramLinkedInTwitterTikTokYouTubeSUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST HERE:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTube

As the creator of Nothing Much Happens and the author of the audio novel On the Street Where You Live, Kathryn Nicolai has built an interconnected world where listeners can feel safe, soften their guard and step away from the noise of modern life. In this conversation, Kathryn explains how 20 years of teaching yoga prepared her to speak to millions of listeners, why she created a genre she calls “healing fiction,” and how storytelling can quietly bring people into a state of mindfulness without asking them to meditate. She also shares the discipline behind her enormous creative output, the role safety plays in making art, the practices she uses to regulate her own mind and why our lives were never meant to be constantly optimized. This is a conversation about sleep, creativity, community and creating softer places to land—in our minds, our neighbourhoods and our lives. EXCITING STUFF!

From impoverishment to global superpower, China's supremacy happened at a breakneck speed thanks to the visionary strategy of the man who took power in 1978. Over the next decade, under leader Deng Xiaoping's firm leadership, China flirted with capitalism and transformed its socio-economic and political systems, effectively becoming the world's factory.Guests:Kerry Brown, professor of Chinese Studies and Director of the Lau China Institute at King's College London and author of several books, including Xi: A Study in PowerDan Wang, a writer specializing in contemporary China and author of Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the FutureSupport shows like Throughline with NPR+.
