In 2024, FutureCISO dialogues with C-suite leaders including CISOs and cybersecurity practices highlight key trends in the region including AI-driven threats, increased board-level engagement, and a focus on compliance and data privacy. In 2025, Southeast Asia's cybersecurity landscape demands that CISOs and CIOs consider integrating cybersecurity with business objectives. CISOs must frame cybersecurity as a business enabler, demonstrating ROI through narratives that emphasize resilience, regulatory alignment, and sustained growth in Asia's hyperconnected economy. In other words, CISOs must articulate their cybersecurity strategies in business terms, ensuring that security is a core element of growth and risk management.In this PodChats for FutureCISO, we are pleased to have as our guest expert, James McLeary, Group CIO and CISO, Bumrungrad International Hospital in Thailand.1.       Define for us what is a cybersecurity posture.2.       What are the long-term business benefits of maintaining a robust cybersecurity posture, and how can these be articulated to stakeholders?

Embracing business and marketing doesn't dilute the heart of practicing medicine—it strengthens it. Business and marketing are ultimately about human connection and trust. Medicine is too. As physicians, we were trained to heal—but not to advocate for ourselves, run a practice, or communicate our value effectively. The skills we need for a fulfilling and sustainable medical career aren't just clinical.  To thrive in medicine, we also need business, communication, leadership, and marketing skills regardless of our role. Honing these skills helps you build a balanced, impactful, nimble, and aligned career. We "sell" ideas, treatments, and our expertise daily. Marketing skills help with patient compliance, team leadership, and career success.  Articulating our impact isn't bragging—it's essential. Elegantly sharing our value with our patients and our institutions increases our potential impact dramatically. Public speaking and persuasion techniques play a big role in the practice of medicine. The words we choose influence behaviors in patients, teams, and institutions. When and where we choose to speak up does too. Most physicians struggle to advocate for promotions and raises. Business and marketing are about effective advocacy. When we courageously step into modeling and marketing our worth, our confidence and career trajectory can shift powerfully.

Q: Hello Dr. E. I've always been taught that if you have professed your faith in Christ you could participate in the communion. But recently our pastor is preaching that we have to be baptized in order to participate in the communion! Summary Dr. Michael Easley explores the complexities of baptism and communion in the church, focusing on the debate between believers' baptism and infant baptism. He examines historical perspectives, theological implications, and the emerging trend of requiring individuals to be 18 before baptism. The discussion underscores the importance of understanding the gospel and recognizing baptism as a public declaration of faith in Christ. If you've got a question for Dr. Easley, call or text us your question at 615-281-9694 or email at question@michaelincontext.com. Takeaways: Baptism is a debated topic within the church. Communion participation is often tied to baptism. Historical tensions exist over baptism practices. The age requirement for baptism is a recent trend. Baptism serves as a public identification with Christ. The concept of sacrament versus ordinance is significant. Church history shows the dangers of legalism in baptism. Articulating faith is crucial for baptism eligibility. The New Testament does not specify an age for baptism. Discipleship and grounding in faith are essential for youth.

Paolo De Angeli is currently leading the Customer Experience and Customer Value Management teams at Borealis AG. He has a strong background and passion for Customer Value, from Value Creation to Value Based Pricing. In this episode, Paolo shares the importance of persistence for pricing practitioners, encouraging them to confidently share their insights even when facing resistance. He highlights that pricing is not just about numbers but also about effective change management and influencing senior leaders. By staying committed and focusing on both soft skills and strategy, pricing professionals can drive impactful results.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Gain actionable strategies for understanding customer needs, framing value propositions, and making data-driven pricing decisions. Dive into valuable lessons on building strong supplier-customer relationships. Learn how pricing is as much about effective communication and influencing as it is about numbers, with tips on navigating resistance.   “If you are a pricing practitioner, you spend time learning, investing. Maybe like I did, taking some certification like the Professional Pricing Society, or you've been involved in the network. You are entitled to share your opinions.” - Paolo De Angeli   Topics Covered: 01:47 - How he found himself in pricing and what made him embrace it 03:45 - Reflecting on the evolution of the pricing profession 05:32 - Articulating the strategic reasoning behind his role as Head of Customer Experience and Customer Value Management 09:09 - Explaining how customer experience and customer value management are interconnected within a continuous commercial operations cycle 14:28 - Emphasizing the importance of having more customer value conversations, highlighting that customers are generally receptive to it 15:33 - Explaining how companies often fear customer value conversations due to the risk of their assumptions being challenged 20:08 - What process he employs when customers suggest improvements 22:05 - The importance of leading value discussions and identifying and addressing specific KPIs that matter to the customer to demonstrate value 25:20 - Highlighting the need to understand the customer's needs before discussing KPIs 27:11 - Why you need to look beyond customer feature requests to uncover the underlying problems 28:56 - How effective value management benefits both the supplier and the customer, creating a win-win scenario 30:13 - Paolo's best pricing advice   Key Takeaways: “Everything that we do internally, when we challenge our value proposition, and we try to understand where our differential value is, comes not only from our internal perception but also and above all from what our customers are telling us.” - Paolo De Angeli “Companies are afraid that customers will not talk, will not share, and will destroy these hypotheses and negotiate on price. And the solution for this is to build a relationship that is more going in the direction of partnership than a transaction with your customers.” - Paolo De Angeli “If we want to simplify two main applications for customer value management, one is when you launch a new solution in the market, you need to have a differential value, a compelling value proposition, so that you need to be convincing both internally and externally and explain why anyone in the world should be interested in buying from you this new solution and not an existing one.” - Paolo De Angeli “Managing expectations is the most important thing, it's not because they ask for something that they will get it, but it's, I think that what we owe our customers is to listen to them. Have a conversation on why certain things are possible and others are not, and then have a joint collaboration on what's possible.” - Paolo De Angeli “Before understanding the KPIs, we need to understand their [customers] needs. We need to understand what their problems are.” - Paolo De Angeli “It's important to agree on the KPIs, but what matters is, to understand what their[customers] problems are and help them understand the profit equation.” - Paolo De Angeli   People/Resources Mentioned: Professional Pricing Society: https://www.pricingsociety.com/ European Pricing Platform: https://www.pricingplatform.com/about-epp Syngenta: https://www.syngenta.com/   Connect with Paolo De Angeli: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paolo-de-angeli-cpp-b232b85/   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

Lately, I've been working with too many people who don't have a clear vision and plan of where they want to go and what they want to accomplish in their life and business. If you don't know where you want to go, then any path will get you there. You'll end up meandering and then wonder why you're not really getting anywhere in life or business. The crazy thing is recently when I was talking with Brien Gearin about coming on board to help us grow Millionaire University, he asked me if I could send him a business plan, and I realized I didn't really have one...Well, I did sorta but not anything that I could easily send over to him. This allowed me to think through our plan to grow MU to a Billion Dollar Organization over the next 10 years and helped me think through more about how I come up with and write business plans, and how and when you should write a business plan of your own. I hope you enjoy this episode.

In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host Ted engages in a profound conversation with Dr. Paul Rivera, co-founder of B Act Change. They explore themes of personal growth, the importance of recognizing one's superpower, and the impact of diversity on success. Dr. Rivera shares his journey from academia to international diplomacy, emphasizing the need for community support and mental health awareness, particularly among Black and Brown men. The discussion culminates in a redefinition of the American dream, advocating for a more personalized and meaningful approach to success. In this conversation, Paul Rivera discusses the challenges of effecting change from within organizations, particularly in the context of the U.S. government. He shares personal experiences with imposter syndrome and emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's own value and aspirations. The discussion highlights the power of listening, the significance of mental health, and the need to honor the sacrifices of elders while defining success on one's own terms. Practical steps for manifesting dreams are provided, along with insights into the importance of celebrating small wins and recognizing potential in others. Paul reflects on childhood experiences that shaped his understanding of masculinity and the importance of being open and accepting.   Takeaways Embrace discomfort to cultivate community. Recognizing your superpower can lead to personal growth. Diversity in perspective enhances problem-solving abilities. The American dream should be redefined to reflect personal values. Mental health awareness is crucial for marginalized communities. Community support can alleviate feelings of isolation. Success is subjective and should be measured by personal fulfillment. Resilience tools are essential for navigating life's challenges. Articulating one's gifts can lead to monetizing passions. Gratitude for past struggles fosters happiness. It's much more impactful to push change from the outside. Imposter syndrome is common, but you belong where you are. Asking about aspirations can transform conversations. Change lives one at a time by connecting with individuals. Manifestation requires taking action, not just wishing. Allow yourself grace to make mistakes and learn. Celebrate small wins to build resilience. Representation matters; seeing someone like you can inspire change. Defining success on your own terms is crucial.

Seth Godin: This is Strategy Seth Godin has published 21 bestselling books that have changed the way people think about work. He writes one of the most popular blogs in the world, and two of his TED talks are among the most popular of all time. His blog is at seths.blog and his newest book is titled This is Strategy. Seth writes this: “It's not clear to me why business plans are the way they are, but they're often misused to obfuscate, bore, and show an ability to comply with expectations.” In this conversation, Seth and I explore the key components of a modern business plan. Key Points Big problems require small solutions. We often skip strategy because most of us have trained our whole lives for tactics. A modern business is clear about systems and the status quo. Use the system if you intend to change the system. Assertions are the heart of a business plan. Leaders need to have empathy for someone else's “better.” Articulating alternatives helps you stay resilient when some of your assertions are inevitably wrong. Find people to support you who have a track record of shipping. A useful business plan gets easier over time and persists (any maybe even thrives) when the world changes.

This Podcast Is Episode 593, And It's About Creating A Strong Personal Brand For Your Construction Business In today's competitive business landscape, establishing a personal brand is essential for standing out in the construction industry. Whether you're a contractor, architect, or engineer, cultivating a professional image differentiates you from competitors and fosters trust and credibility among clients and partners.    The words "personal brand" are still somewhat controversial and carry an unfortunate cast of self-promotion and vanity. However, personal branding is more important than ever in the job market, and those without a clear personal brand or mission to create one are lagging behind the competition.    What is a personal brand? How you present yourself has always been important in the workplace. In the corporate heyday, it was established that to get a good job and be considered for promotion, you had to dress, speak, and act appropriately for the company with which you were employed. Consider this the forerunner of the personal brand; now, you create an impression of yourself and your company that clients and homeowners want to hire. Personality versus personal brand Do not mistake your personality for what constitutes an attractive personal brand. In the age of social media, everyone is Googling prospective companies and employees, and personal information is available at their fingertips. If there are unattractive photographs of you on Facebook, personal details about your family, or complaints about your work, delete them or make them private. Now would be an excellent time to set up work-only accounts and separate your social and corporate friends lists. Promote yourself professionally on the Internet. When creating a profile or website, what photographs are you using? What typefaces and colors do you use? What are you saying? The handwriting font may appeal to you, your favorite color may be baby pink, or that picture of you wearing a Halloween costume may show your best side, but ask yourself: would you hire you based on your tastes? Remember, this is not about changing who you are but highlighting your best assets. Though companies are growing ever larger, there is more competition for fewer jobs. Always look professional and remain visible within your community. You must update your brand and create an image of yourself showcasing your proficiency in your services and transferable skills and achievements. Here are some critical strategies for creating a compelling personal brand for your construction business: 1. Define Your Unique Value Proposition Identify what sets you apart from others in the construction industry. Consider your expertise, experience, and the specific value you bring to clients. This could be your commitment to quality, innovative design approach, or exceptional customer service. Articulating your unique value proposition forms the foundation of your brand. 2. Develop a Consistent Brand Identity Consistency is key to building a solid personal brand. This includes everything from your visual identity (logo, color scheme, and imagery) to your communication style and how you present yourself professionally. Consistent branding helps create a strong and memorable impression on your target audience and builds trust in your expertise. 3. Showcase Your Work One of the most powerful ways to establish your brand in the construction industry is by showcasing your work. This could be through a professional portfolio featuring completed projects, case studies, testimonials from satisfied clients, and before-and-after transformations. Highlighting your successful projects demonstrates your capabilities and the quality of your work. 4. Leverage Social Media and Online Presence In today's digital age, an online presence is crucial for building a personal brand. Utilize social media platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook to share valuable content related to your expertise, such as industry insights, project updates, and client tips. Engage with your audience, participate in relevant discussions, and demonstrate your thought leadership in construction. 5. Network and Build Relationships Networking is a powerful tool for personal branding. Attend industry events, join professional associations, and engage with other professionals in the construction sector. Building strong relationships with peers, clients, and industry influencers can significantly enhance your brand and open up new opportunities for your business. 6. Provide Exceptional Customer Service A positive client experience is fundamental to personal branding in the construction business. Consistently delivering exceptional customer service and prioritizing client satisfaction builds a strong reputation and fosters positive word-of-mouth referrals, which are invaluable for reinforcing your brand image. 7. Emphasize Your Expertise through Thought Leadership Share your knowledge and insights to establish yourself as a thought leader in the construction industry. This could involve writing articles for industry publications, speaking at conferences, or hosting webinars. Positioning yourself as an expert reinforces your brand and enhances your credibility. Remember that branding is just another marketing word. You are selling yourself in the construction industry daily by making yourself available and preferable for different responsibilities and projects. Do not be afraid to ask for others' input. Ask previous project managers why they chose you for specific tasks, or ask your clients what word jumps into their minds when they hear your name. Reliability? Professionalism? Authority? Or is it something negative? Ask for honesty, and receive criticism with grace. Final thoughts Personal branding is a powerful tool­ you can use to your advantage or detriment. Use it wisely; it might be the most important thing you ever do for your career. By implementing these strategies, construction professionals like you can effectively create a personal brand that resonates with your target audience differentiates you from competitors and ultimately contributes to the success of your business. Remember that personal branding is an ongoing process that requires consistent effort and a genuine commitment to delivering value to clients and the industry.

In this episode, we sit down with Mike, a first-time Enfold guest and newcomer to psychedelics, exploring his journey of self-discovery and healing. Feeling a deep-seated misalignment, Mike sought a profound shift in perspective. Through preparation, ceremony, and integration, he embarked on a transformative exploration of self. Key Points: Enfold hosts a diverse range of individuals, including professionals seeking a deeper connection with themselves. Preparation and integration are crucial aspects of the Enfold experience, helping participants navigate the journey and process the insights gained. Integration involves confronting fears and old tensions, which may resurface after the ceremony, and embracing the discomfort to release and transform. The Enfold experience provides a supportive and caring environment that enhances the overall experience and facilitates personal growth. The 5-MeO-DMT experience can be life-changing and lead to a re-examination of one's behaviors and consciousness. Articulating the experience can be challenging, as it often involves a felt sensation that is difficult to put into words. Prior to the experience, it is beneficial to spend time with oneself, embrace discomfort, and cultivate presence. Quotes: "I felt this pure feeling of like, not just joy, but it's the feeling of feeling. It's emotion, right?" "It was almost like I had this childlike curiosity about everything that was going on around me for the first time in a long time." "I feel much more separated from my ego now than I ever have." "Looking around and realizing how absolutely incredible being is." "You almost learn to relive again." "It's really like this deep permission you're giving yourself." "I put less stress value on the small things throughout my day, which allows me to appreciate them more." __ Enfold offers safe and sacred transformational experiences combining psychedelic medicines, breathwork, coaching, and somatic modalities, with a grounding in Buddhist philosophy. We come together as a community to support one another on the path of transformation with events, circles, and ongoing programs. Ready to embark on your own transformational journey?
