Melissa Ninegar has built a career helping people navigate some of life's biggest moments, but her most valuable leadership lessons didn't come from a handbook or HR playbook. In this conversation with Ryan, the Senior Director of People & Culture at Once Upon a Farm shares the hard-earned truths that have shaped how she leads, from believing you belong in every room you enter to choosing how life's toughest moments define you. Ryan and Melissa explore imposter syndrome, resilience, grief, growth, and why some of the most important leadership skills are rarely taught. They also discuss the power of showing up authentically, finding magic in the messy moments, and why the real opportunity in leadership begins when we stop seeing people as resources and start seeing them as humans.
The future belongs to organizations that invest in people as much as they invest in technology. Whether building stronger communities, developing emerging leaders, or reducing human cyber risk, lasting success comes from creating environments where individuals are informed, connected, engaged, and empowered to contribute at their highest level. Recorded live at the Beyond 26 Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, this special episode brings together two dynamic technology leaders who are helping shape the future of the IT channel from very different—but equally important—perspectives. Brook Lee, Senior Director of Community at Rev.io, and Nihil Morjaria, Chief Revenue Officer at usecure, share insights on leadership, community building, cybersecurity, and the evolving role of human behavior in technology. Brook discusses the power of authentic relationships, meaningful conversations, and creating communities where MSPs can learn and grow together. Nihil explores why Human Risk Intelligence is becoming a critical pillar of modern cybersecurity as AI-driven threats increasingly target people rather than systems. Together, their perspectives reveal a common theme: technology alone does not drive success—people do. Highlights include: People remain the most important factor in business growth, innovation, and cybersecurity. The "secret sauce" behind meaningful engagement: listen more, talk less, and create genuine connections. How Rev.io is helping MSPs strengthen operations and community collaboration. What Human Risk Intelligence means and why it is transforming cybersecurity strategies How AI is changing both business opportunities and cyber threats. Why security awareness programs should focus on culture, behavior, and proactive participation. The growing importance of measuring human risk posture and organizational resilience.

Send us Fan MailYou roll out a new system. You cast the vision. You wait for buy-in, and instead you get silence, slow adoption, or quiet workarounds. It is not because your people do not care. My guest this week, Travis Hahler, Senior Director of Global Strategy and Transformation at Salesforce and founder of The Neurological Nomad, has spent his career studying why 70% of organizational transformations fail, and how the other 30% succeed. We unpack why resistance to change is never a character flaw, why every change creates loss (even a promotion), and why the brain weighs that loss roughly ten times heavier than any gain. Travis gives you a way to read resistance to change as information instead of an obstacle, so you can lead your team (and yourself) through it with clarity instead of force.Books MentionedRethink Resistance: Embracing Neuroscience to Lead Transformational Change by Travis Hahler (available everywhere books are sold beginning June 23rd)Connect with Travis on LinkedIn or through his website https://linktr.ee/theneurologicalnomad, where you'll find links to his new book, Rethink Resistance, releasing June 23rd.Check out Dr. William Attaway's new show, The Appreciation at Work Podcast!

Travis Hahler: Wired for Change, Part 1 | Leading Humans Through AI Transformation Travis Hahler is the Senior Director of Global Strategy and Transformation at Salesforce and the founder of Neurological Nomad. His book Rethink Resistance, publishing June 23rd, explores how leaders can embrace human biology to drive meaningful change. Fun Fact: Travis loves a good pasta. Red sauce, vodka sauce, white sauce, all the sauces. You simply cannot go wrong. What You Will Learn Why telling employees to "go play" with AI activates fear rather than innovation How the brain defaults to the worst-case narrative when faced with ambiguity Why early adopters are only about two and a half percent of any workforce How to give your team clarity around what innovation means in their role Why group exploration is safer and more effective than solo adoption How ninety percent of AI users are only chatting with it, not leveraging its potential Why building competence over time beats trying to master everything at once How resisting AI to protect your job is the fastest path to losing it Why leadership is evolving from systems thinking to challenge and reinvention Key Insights Clarity is the foundation of transformation; define innovation before you ask for it Resistance is neurological, not personal; the brain defaults to protection under ambiguity Group adoption accelerates individual progress and lowers perceived risk Competence builds confidence, and confidence enables lasting change Staying still in the age of AI is a career risk, not a safe choice Leaders who thrive will model curiosity, adaptability, and purpose-driven growth Memorable Quotes "Everyone is talking about AI, but no one is talking about how they are going to do it." "People's brains automatically go to the negative." "You do not have to solve everything. Start with the basics." "Trying to hold on to your job is not going to help you save it." "AI is the buffet. You could get whatever you want, however you want it." Who Should Listen Leaders, executives, and professionals navigating AI adoption without a clear roadmap. If you are struggling with workforce resistance, unclear innovation mandates, or leading people through uncertainty, this conversation offers practical strategy and a neuroscience-informed view on why change feels hard. Your Next Step Start with one question: what is one task in your daily work that AI could make easier? Do not try to reinvent everything. Build from there. Leadership in the age of AI means showing up with curiosity, not perfection.

I'm excited to push out a special episode of the podcast. Normally, I don't publish my live video sessions to this audio feed, but my conversation this past Friday was just too critical to keep locked away on a video player. I was joined by my good friend Travis Hahler, Senior Director of Strategy & Transformation at Salesforce and founder of The Neurological Nomad. We grabbed the steering wheel of the AI conversation and steered it away from the typical tech hype, diving face-first into the messy realities of human biology and organizational behavior. If you listened to my previous episode on AI Agent Sprawl, you know how unmapped autonomous digital tools are fracturing corporate architectures and blowing up budgets. But why are we so eager to pass the buck to a machine? That is the exact bridge we cross in this episode. When the unrelenting firehose of technological change hits us, our brains get exhausted. We hit a wall of change fatigue, and we naturally choose the path of least resistance: we either push back with heavy resistance, or we completely check out and hand our human agency over to AI because it just feels "easier." This conversation is the perfect primer for later this week, when I publish my deep-dive Substack article on the progressive loss of human agency. Consider this episode the psychological toolkit you need to understand how our biology is being played, how to build true psychological safety, and why embracing strategic friction is the only way to drive actual business outcomes without breaking your people. Plus, Travis's new book, Rethink Resistance: Embracing Neuroscience to Lead Transformational Change, officially drops this coming Tuesday, June 23rd—and we share a sneak peek of what to expect.

By Doug Green “Governance is absolutely necessary. It's no longer optional.” In this episode of the Technology Reseller News podcast, Doug Green speaks with Rajesh Kari, Senior Director of Products and Solutions at Versa Networks, about the emerging security challenges created as agentic AI moves into live network and security operations. Kari says Versa Networks is a leader in SASE, offering a unified platform that brings together networking, security and operations across enterprise infrastructure. As AI becomes more embedded in operations, Versa is focused on a new zero trust challenge: controlling not only users and devices, but also the hidden AI-driven sub-actions that can touch production systems. Kari explains that agentic AI is different from traditional AI because it can take action on behalf of users. Rather than simply answering a prompt or returning information, an agent may break a task into sub-queries, call APIs, use credentials, access systems and make changes inside the infrastructure. Those hidden sub-queries can create risk if organizations cannot see, validate and govern what the agent is doing. “People build agents. They know what the objective of the agents are,” Kari says. “But under the hood, what the agent actually deploys, which APIs it accesses, and what kinds of authorization and authentication it leverages can be unknown.” The podcast explores how this creates new exposure for enterprises, MSPs and channel partners. If an AI agent gains access to credentials or production systems, organizations need constant verification, validation and governance around each action. Kari says agentic AI can also hallucinate or generate unnecessary sub-queries, creating additional security and operational risk. Versa is addressing this through Versa Verbo and its Zero Trust MCP architecture. Verbo is designed to help network practitioners gain visibility, management and analytics through natural language interactions. Instead of searching through hundreds of alerts or dashboards, operators can ask questions about outages, performance issues, configuration changes, security incidents and branch health. The Zero Trust MCP architecture extends that capability by applying governance and access control to AI-driven actions. Kari says this enables AI models and agents to query Versa infrastructure securely, while maintaining controls around authentication, authorization, APIs and operational workflows. For MSPs and channel partners, Kari sees an important opportunity. Many organizations want to deploy AI quickly but do not have the internal capability to build governance infrastructure around it. Partners that develop practices around policy architecture, deployment, ongoing governance and human-in-the-loop approval can help customers adopt agentic AI more safely. Kari says AI operations copilots are becoming standard in SASE and network platforms. Network teams, infrastructure managers and executives increasingly want to use natural language to understand the health of their infrastructure instead of relying only on dashboards. But as those tools become more powerful, governance becomes the deciding factor in adoption. “If the agent has gained access into certain files or visuals which has violated any particular compliance standards, it becomes the responsibility of the organization to prove it,” Kari says. For Versa, the message is clear: agentic AI can simplify operations and accelerate decision-making, but it must be governed from the beginning. Zero trust principles need to be built into every AI agent connection. Learn more at www.versa-networks.com
He's back! Keith Clarke, Senior Director of Corporate and Community Partnerships at Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation and the most-listened-to guest in Real Talk history, returns for a conversation that's just as good as the first time — maybe even better. Keith manages a $7M+ community events portfolio that consistently holds multiple spots in Canada's Top 30 fundraising events. In this episode, he and Amy get into the real stuff: how you build a portfolio of events that don't cannibalize each other, why passion is still the thing that separates good fundraisers from great ones, and what Princess Margaret does differently that most organizations miss. If you've ever wondered what it actually looks like to run events at the highest level without losing the human touch, this one's for you. Key Components:How Princess Margaret manages multiple rides, walks, DIY programs, and social challenges without losing participants to their own events — and why the "competing with yourself" fear is worth rethinkingWhat white-glove service actually looks like in practice, and why Keith says it comes from putting culture first, budget secondThe best practices Keith shares with every third-party event organizer who calls him: where most people start too big and what to do insteadWhy human contact is the one thing AI can't replicate — and how Princess Margaret is doubling down on it"If people trust you and like what you're doing, they will open up their heart, open up their wallet, they will open up their network. And that's key to peer-to-peer fundraising."Connect with Keith on LinkedIn

This week on The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois welcome Jean-François Archambault, Founder and General Manager of La Tablée des Chefs, for an inspiring conversation about food recovery, food security, and the power of community action. Recorded live at SIAL Montreal, this episode showcases one of Canada's most remarkable social entrepreneurs and the national movement he has built to reduce food waste while feeding those in need. Since founding La Tablée des Chefs in 2002, Jean-François has transformed a bold idea into one of Canada's most impactful food recovery organizations. What began as a mission to rescue surplus food from hotels, restaurants, sporting venues, and major events has grown into a nationwide network that has recovered enough food to create more than 26 million meals. From the Bell Centre and NHL arenas to Formula 1 events and major hospitality venues, La Tablée des Chefs now redirects millions of meals annually to frontline organizations serving vulnerable Canadians. The conversation explores the organization's two core pillars: feeding people facing food insecurity and educating young Canadians about food autonomy and cooking skills. Jean-François shares the remarkable growth of the Kitchen Brigades program, now operating in hundreds of schools across Canada, empowering nearly 100,000 young people with practical food knowledge while building confidence, self-esteem, and life skills. He also discusses innovative initiatives such as the Solidarity Soups program and the Grand Marmite fundraising events that are helping expand school food programs across the country. The discussion also examines the growing challenges of food insecurity in Canada, the importance of food literacy, the role chefs can play in social impact, and why Canada needs a more ambitious and coordinated national approach to food security. Jean-François offers a compelling vision for how governments, businesses, community organizations, and citizens can work together to create lasting change. Before the interview, Michael and Sylvain unpack a busy week in food and agriculture news. Topics include the Competition Bureau's new examination of Canada's food supply chain, the federal government's newly announced food strategy, food waste research revealing Generation X as Canada's most wasteful demographic, the future of salmon farming, Quebec's move to restrict energy drink sales to minors, the return of frozen juice concentrate, and Foodtastic's continued expansion.

In this powerful episode, Allyson sits down with Dr. Giulia Suro, a clinical psychologist and Senior Director of Research at Monte Nido, a national eating disorder treatment company. Giulia shares recent findings from one of the largest naturalistic eating disorder research datasets in the country and what the data reveals about the undeniable link between sexual trauma and eating disorders.What We CoverKey findings: ~50% of adults and ~40% of adolescents entering eating disorder treatment meet active criteria for PTSD at admissionWhy sexual trauma is the most common traumatic experience in this population (60% of adults; 85% of those with PTSD)How eating disorders function as trauma responses including avoidance, numbing, dissociation and protectionThe bidirectional relationship between trauma and eating disorder symptomsWhat is included under sexual violence and how technology has made sexual violence more rampantWhy simultaneous treatment of trauma and eating disorders is supported by the research and why waiting to process trauma until 'after' ED recovery is not always the best optionNavigating OCD, intrusive thoughts and trauma Key TakeawaysThe eating disorder is often doing the job of trauma avoidance- you can't separate them in treatmentSexual trauma doesn't require a firm "no" - powerlessness, inequity and vulnerability create the conditions for harm and perpetrationSelf-blame after trauma is often an attempt to create predictability and prevent future harmRecovery is a feminist process: naming the systems that failed you can fuel healingAs a provider, unless someone is actively suicidal with intent, plan and means, don't wait to start trauma workFor trauma survivors, the worst day is already over, which is both a strength and source of grief.Resources & LinksGiulia's website: www.giuliasuro.comGiulia's Instagram: @giuliasurrophdAllyson's Instagram: @bodyjustice.therapistAllyson's website: www.eatingdisorderocdtherapy.comDisclaimerThe content of this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional mental health treatment or medical advice.

At Infosecurity Europe 2026 in London, Bill Peterson, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Sumo Logic, joins us to unpack a tension every regulated security team knows well. When an incident hits, the business has to keep running. At the same time, regulators expect sensitive data to stay in region. For a long time, those two demands have pulled in opposite directions. Sumo Logic has spent 15 years as a SaaS platform on AWS, processing roughly four exabytes of data a day for around 2,000 customers. The core promise is speed, driving mean time to resolve as low as possible. Peterson frames it in business terms, because the person signing the check wants to know the return, not the bits and bytes. The news from the show is Sumo Logic availability on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. EU organizations can keep their data in region, handled by EU staff, while still running the full platform for incident response. That turns a painful either/or into a checklist a regulated buyer can complete. Genesys is the first customer live in the sovereign cloud, with payment processor OpenPay preparing to follow. How does this play out for highly regulated industries? Sumo Logic is focused on finance, healthcare, telco, and government, the verticals feeling the most pressure. The path Peterson describes is simple: let Sumo Logic handle incident management, let AWS move and grow the data in region, and check the sovereignty box without giving up operational readiness. Underneath sits a full-featured SIEM and Dojo AI, the agentic approach Sumo Logic launched earlier this year. The goal is not to replace analysts but to keep a human in the loop while handing proven, repetitive work to an agent. Fix one server, confirm the solution, then let an agent patch the other 599 under oversight. A SOC Analyst Agent reaches general availability at Black Hat later this year, alongside an MCP server. On observability, the differentiator is reading both structured and unstructured data without normalizing it first. A zip code is structured; a cryptic web hook error is not. Sumo Logic reads both, which feeds directly into faster time to identify and faster time to resolve.

As enterprises expand across multiple cloud environments, on-premise data centers, and dynamic AI workloads, traditional perimeter defenses and siloed cloud-native tools are no longer enough to secure the modern network. In this episode, Ashish sits down with Murali Rathinasamy, Senior Director of Product at Cisco, to break down the next evolution of network security: the Hybrid Mesh Firewall. Murali explains why relying solely on cloud-native firewalls can create visibility gaps, and how unified policy orchestration allows security teams to manage enforcement points seamlessly. He shares a real-world case study of how Multicloud Defense is used to eliminate manual route table configurations and achieve zero-downtime, blue-green upgrades. The conversation also tackles micro-segmentation. Murali breaks down why segmentation initiatives usually stall in "analysis paralysis" and provides a practical, agentless roadmap to reduce your attack surface "one bite at a time".

For the more than 7.5 million students in the United States who receive special education services, access to a quality education is not just an aspiration—it is a legal right. Yet despite federal protections through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which guarantees students a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE), significant disparities in access, quality, and outcomes continue to exist across the country. Today, approximately 15% of all public school students—more than one in every seven children—receive special education services, making this one of the most important issues facing public education today. In this episode of Let's Have This Conversation, I sit down with Mitch Elatkin, Senior Director of Specialized Services for ReGeneration Schools, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring every child has access to a high-quality, college-preparatory education. ReGeneration Schools currently serves students through a network of schools in Chicago and Cincinnati, with a mission of developing values-driven leaders while preparing young people to lead free and fulfilling lives. Mitch oversees special education, Section 504 services, and related supports across multiple schools. Drawing on nearly two decades of experience in special education leadership—including roles with KIPP Public Schools and the Noble Network of Charter Schools—he brings a unique perspective on what schools are doing well, where they are falling short, and what meaningful improvements are needed to better serve students with disabilities. During our conversation, Mitch discusses the realities facing educators, students, and families navigating special education today. We explore the importance of inclusive learning environments, the role of co-teaching models, how administrators' mindsets impact student outcomes, and why creating systems that focus on both academic achievement and student belonging is critical for long-term success. We also examine the persistent challenges facing special education nationwide. Research shows that access to services and educational quality can vary significantly based on factors such as geography, socioeconomic status, race, and disability category. These inequities often create barriers that prevent students from receiving the support they need to thrive. Whether you're an educator, school leader, parent, advocate, or policymaker, this conversation offers valuable insights into how schools can move beyond compliance and toward truly inclusive educational practices that empower every student. If we believe every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, then conversations like this are essential. Mitch Elatkin shares a thoughtful and practical vision for creating schools where all students—not just some—have the support they need to reach their full potential.
