In today's episode of Category Visionaries, we speak with Jason Martin, Co-Counder and Co-CEO of Permiso Security, a cloud identity detection response platform that's raised $10 Million in funding, about the importance of knowing exactly who (or what) is trying to breach your security barrier, and building the right kind of response in real-time. With instant identity-to-event attribution, Permiso helps their clients understand the nature of the security threats they face, and make the right decisions about how to respond, both in the moment and for the future. We also speak about Jason's quarter-century career in cybersecurity, playing both offensive and defensive roles, the Permiso mission statement of ‘trying to find evil' in the public cloud, the diversity of threats and aggressors facing a firm's cybersecurity infrastructure, how Permiso differentiate themselves in the ‘threat detection' space, and why the security of any company ultimately lies in its people and the processes they adhere to.  Topics Discussed: Jason's extensive career in cybersecurity, playing roles in both the defensive and offensive software space Why the modern cloud-based economy is facing a more diverse range of threats than ever before ‘Finding evil' as a clear, concise mission statement for Permiso to make their mark on the market Building a fun, engaging website as a vital touchpoint for potential customers Differentiation in a crowded market space, and how Permiso stand apart from the general ‘threat detection'  solutions Why hygiene, process, and ultimately people are the ultimate security solution for any company   Favorite book:  Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations

In all honesty, very few of us thought about our partner's possible parenting style when we began dating them. I know that I didn't. It's mostly romance and blind hope at that stage. By the time the subject really comes into focus we're already in the thick of parenting. Louise has asked us to talk about this, and we loved the topic because so many of us lack the skills to successfully navigate a happy path with a partner who sees things differently. We talk about why consensus is so important in parenting, but also when disagreement can actually benefit your teenager. Finally, we give some top tips on how to go about finding a path to agreement that works for everyone. Also, as the world shifts in the direction of a knowledge economy - and increasing automation of jobs - our need for new skills has made a college education seem vital. But is that the right path for our teens? Gaelle asked to discuss how we talk to our teens about their future careers in a way that supports them.BOOKS MENTIONED:Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel KahnemanWEBSITE LINKS:*https://www.positiveparentingsolutions.com/discipline/parents-disagree-on-disciplinehttp://teentherapycentersv.org/2015/03/24/consistency-the-toughest-and-most-important-part-of-parenting-2/https://childmind.org/article/conflicts-over-parenting-styles/BOOKS MENTIONED:Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations by Thomas Friedman WEBSITE LINKS:https://parents.au.reachout.com/common-concerns/everyday-issues/things-to-try-exam-stress/what-to-do-if-your-teen-is-stressed-about-the-futurehttps://www.allthingscareers.co.uk/blog/how-to-talk-to-your-teen-about-careers-without-causing-tensionhttps://www.talkspace.com/blog/teen-pressure-school-career/https://magazine.lifology.com/career/career-anxieties-among-teenagers/https://www.joyfulmindmentor.com/blog/stressed-teens-and-career-developmenthttps://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/teenage-anxiety-stress-college-high-school-20190311.html?outputType=amp

One of the more celebrated aspects of contemporary media is that it seems so much more participatory. In principle, at least, anyone can for example establish a Twitter or a YouTube account, and share their experiences or views with minimal censorious intervention. Some have explained this apparently more participatory media culture with reference to the capacities of technologies. After all, people can participate more easily when so many media functions are collapsed into an internet-enabled device like a smartphone. And yet, for others, this technological explanation is flawed, underplaying longer-term cultural shifts, which these new technologies might more properly be seen as crystallizing.  In this episode, we begin with work by thinkers such as Henry Jenkins, who have notably opposed technological explanations for a participatory media culture. For Jenkins, ordinary people's participation in media creation is about more than gadgets, devices or platforms. Rather, it is a momentous cultural shift, towards new and potentially democratising forms of 'collective intelligence' that blur the old distinction between media ‘producers' and ‘audiences'. Jenkins' work has been widely discussed. For some, his model of ‘a convergence culture' overemphasises the individual agency of media participants. Sure, they may be technically freer and more enabled than in the past, but when someone creates or shares a meme, for example, they also partially reproduce or conform to cultural norms. We might also ask: does insisting on ‘culture' bring us back to the same unsustainable technology/culture dichotomy we have challenged in earlier episodes?  It is probably difficult to conceive, for example, of the cultural conditions for a so-called post-truth politics without some account of the technical affordances of social media platforms.

Eva A. Kaili spoke to Rudolf Falat, founder of the Voice of FinTech podcast, about digital transformation in the EU and the policy framework that is being created or adapted to facilitate the adoption of digital technologies.  Eva Kaili is MEP from Greece, Chair Science & Technology, Chair Centre for Artificial Intelligence and co-founder of the World Future Foundation - very active in shaping European policy regarding digital transformation, blockchain, AI and more.Here is what they talked about: Eva, you are Chair Science & Technology, Chair Centre for Artificial Intelligence, co-founder of the World Future Foundation, and MEP – how does it tie altogether? After your broadcasting career, you entered politics and there you have been focusing on new technologies, science, digitalization and blockchain. What has driven you to this? How has your life as a politician and speaker changed during the pandemic – what has kept you busy? Many commentators agree that pandemics have accelerated the digital transformation around the world. Where do you think the private sector or the governments grabbed the opportunity and where is more to be done? What can the EU do to be more competitive vs. Asia or the US when developing and adopting new technologies? Cryptocurrencies have experienced extraordinary times recently. How do you see the potential of cryptocurrencies to be used as currencies?  Where are with blockchain utilization in Europe more broadly? Lately, it seems the focus has been on tokenization and digital assets, but blockchain adoption has been more selective elsewhere. Where do you see the most significant potential for digital assets and tokenization adoption in Europe? Many people are (somewhat) worried about the rise of AI. What can we do in terms of governance of nascent technologies to benefit from their strengths while addressing the public's concerns? I know you are a fan of Black Mirror. Do you also have a favorite book related to technology (AI, Blockchain or anything else) that you recommend?

Friends, today we’re talking to Ilise Benun. She’s the founder of Marketing Mentor, a firm that specializes in helping creative professionals take their work to the next level, as well as an author, speaker, and teacher. I’m really excited to share this one -- Ilise taught us a lot in this episode. We talk about the creative life, doing creative work, and how we can position ourselves to keep doing this work without falling into the feast/famine cycle, which many of us in creative or client-based work have found ourselves in. We talk about discovering who we are and trusting our intuition, and Ilise asks us some really powerful questions: What would be the best thing for me to take in right now? What would it look like if I were ready? Am I learning anything? Is what I’m doing reinforcing the beliefs that are holding me back? What would be beautiful in this moment?This is a really juicy conversation -- you’re going to have notes from this one.Where you can find Ilise:Website: https://www.marketing-mentor.comTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/ilisebenunLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ilisebenun Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ilise.benun References mentioned:The Most Human Human: What Talking with Computers Teaches Us About What it Means to be Alive by Brian ChristianThank You for Being Late: An Optimist’s Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations by Thomas L.

In Episode 59, Quinn & Brian ask: Is Florida the harbinger of doom? (Probably) Our guest is Dr. Salvador Almagro-Moreno, an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Central Florida. His lab, The Moreno Lab, lies at the interface between ecology and pathogenesis, studying the emergence and evolution of bacterial pathogens. From what we can tell, this means they’re focusing on how and why bacteria want to eat and/or kill us.

As business owners, we all want success — but how do you go about achieving success? Even more critically, once you are successful, how do you maintain that level of success? The answer is almost certainly innovation and staying ahead of the curve, but history is full of examples of companies that failed to innovate, including Kodak, Blockbuster, and Sears. Allen Adamson, the author of Shift Ahead, joins me to talk about why success can be your biggest golden handcuffs, and how to encourage innovation in your organization. Allen is a notable branding expert, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Metaforce, and the author of BrandSimple, BrandDigital, The Edge: 50 Tips from Brands that Lead and most recently, Shift Ahead. When it comes to innovation, people, money and time aren’t enough to drive it in an organization if you don’t have the culture to support it. Allen explains how focusing on optimization can lead to success, but isn’t enough to ensure the company remains innovative — that comes from the leaders. He shares some red flags to look out for that your company isn’t shifting ahead, and strategies to balance innovation with what’s currently doing well.
