This week on Security Conversations, Ryan sits down with Chris Eng, former Chief Research Officer at Veracode, to talk about life after nearly two decades at one company and the lessons learned along the way. They dig into a career start at the NSA, the early days of @Stake and the Symantec acquisition, and the birth and ambitions of Veracode. Plus, thoughts on how helping startups shape product strategy, what it takes to translate technical expertise into business impact, and how security culture has evolved since the early “hacker-to-enterprise” days. The conversation touches on defining your career beyond titles, how the perception of “cybersecurity” has changed over the years, and why the industry still has plenty of room for curiosity, reinvention, and good storytelling.
Apparently, we as a society learned nothing two weeks ago about rushing to be the first to present what we think really happened, to build our political agenda into a tragedy, and to move the conversation away from sympathy for those impacted to angrily debating the details of the assault by car and gun, the supposed intentions of the perpetrator – who is deceased by the way and cannot actually confirm or deny – and other completely unrelated things, such as if LDS are or are not also Christians. We've lost the plot. BUT statements are not supportive. This is where the anchor question comes in: What is the right thing to do?

Reserve your spot here Thank you to today's sponsors: StrongRootsResources.com InvestableWealth.com – The Wealthsteading Podcast The outrage cycle: how online reactions to tragedy move immediately to blame, politics, and division. Binary programming: left vs. right, us vs. them — why it's become the default setting and how it trains us to react in anger. A personal story about tomatoes: clinging to a narrative even when it doesn't make sense, and what it took to question mine. The anger signal: that flash of anger is not permission to post — it's your primary sign to pause and ask what the right thing to do is. Practical tools: Admit when you've been wrong. Give crises time to develop before hot takes. Share your opinion with care — or hold it until the right time. The better way: you don't change the world by yelling louder. You change it by stepping out of the game and refusing to feed the machine. Make it a great week!
The right insists — and has tried to legislate — that male and female are hardwired opposites, with no overlap or variation. But as biological anthropologist Agustín Fuentes illustrates, science tells a different story. He shows how sex isn't either/or and discusses the complicated intersection of biology and culture, which are often termed sex and gender. The post Fund Drive Special: The Biological Inadequacy of the Sex Binary appeared first on KPFA.
In this episode, we sit down with Nick Bielke, a powerhouse entrepreneur who's no stranger to the mental traps that high performers fall into—especially the seductive illusion of certainty, control, and “getting it right.” Together, we unpack how a black-and-white mindset and chronic overthinking can quietly sabotage your growth, your peace, and your next level.
Zak's Traders Cafe sat down with Paul Mathieson, CEO of Amazing AI, to unpack a fresh take on corporate crypto exposure — a strategy Paul describes not just as "Bitcoin treasury 2.0" but as crypto treasury 3.0. After a turbulent few months for London-listed companies that rushed to add Bitcoin to their balance sheets, Paul and I discussed why the old model is breaking down and how his team plans to approach things differently: more sophisticated, more diversified, and better protected. Why the Bitcoin Treasury 1.0 model is fading Earlier this year many companies followed a simple playbook: raise equity, buy Bitcoin, and hold it on the balance sheet. That headline-friendly approach produced big share price moves in May–July, but many of those gains have since evaporated — some names are down as much as 80% from their peaks. Investors and markets reacted; hype cooled. As Paul put it, the straightforward buy-and-hold crypto treasury is "pretty simple" and increasingly seen as outdated. The problem with buy-and-hold Heavy dilution: companies raising repeatedly to buy more crypto. Binary exposure: full directional risk to a single asset like Bitcoin. Market expectation vs operational reality: investors began pricing in the flaws once the euphoria passed. Introducing Crypto Treasury 3.0: a different philosophy Paul argues Amazing AI is moving beyond the one-dimensional treasury model by combining derivatives expertise, diversification across crypto assets, active risk management, and a profitable underlying business to fund the strategy. As Paul told me: "I don't think it's just crypto treasury 2.0. I think it's actually 3.0. We are going beyond the basic to diversify... and more importantly managing the exposure, not just sitting there." — Paul MathiesonKey pillars of the approach: Derivatives-based exposure: using long-dated options and futures to gain leveraged crypto exposure while defining downside risk. Diversification: exposure spread across multiple crypto assets rather than a single-asset bet. Active management: protective hedges and re-protection on the way up to lock in gains. Revenue backing: a core U.S. lending business generating strong cash flows to fund option premiums and operations. Opportunistic M&A: potential acquisitions of failed "crypto 1.0" players to consolidate and repurpose assets. How the derivatives strategy works — plain English Paul drew on decades of funds management and investment banking experience to adopt option structures that can deliver asymmetric returns. The approach is not simply selling covered calls (income-focused), but more like a strangle strategy combined with targeted protection. Strangle-like positions: buying combinations of calls and puts to profit from large moves either up or down. The structure benefits from volatility and large directional moves. Defined downside: losses are limited to the premiums paid for options, rather than the full exposure of owning the underlying crypto outright. Leverage potential: relatively small cash outlay on options can create very large notional exposure (Paul discussed scenarios of up to 100x notional exposure in upside cases), while premium cost caps the downside. Paul emphasised that the firm is comfortable paying option premiums because Amazing AI has a core business able to generate predictable revenue. That changes the math: instead of raising equity constantly to buy more crypto, small capital raises can create sizable market exposure via derivatives. Backtest results and credibility Paul shared that he backtested his strategy over two decades and, in his words, it "never lost money" and averaged around 500% returns historically, with larger gains on upside moves. He also said the approach underpins the holdings of long-term shareholders in the company today. While past performance and backtests are not guarantees, the claim signals the firm has applied a rigorous, experience-led framework rather than relying on speculation alone. Differences from covered-call or simple buy-and-hold strategies When I asked whether the approach is similar to covered-call income strategies, Paul was clear: it's materially different. Covered calls generate income by selling upside, moderating upside participation in exchange for premiums. Amazing AI's method is designed to benefit from significant directional moves while protecting capital via paid protection. Covered call = sell upside to earn premium, capped upside. Strangle/option approach = pay premium for asymmetric exposure and defined loss, large upside potential if volatility or direction materialises. Operational advantages: less dilution, more optionality One of the practical benefits Paul highlighted is capital efficiency. Because option premiums are significantly smaller than buying the underlying outright, Amazing AI can achieve large crypto exposures from comparatively modest raises. Paul also noted he remains the major shareholder and is not interested in frequent dilution, aligning management incentives with long-term shareholders. Additional operational levers include: Using revenues from a U.S. lending arm (quoted rate: 59.9% on loans) to fund premium payments and operations. Rolling and re-protecting positions as markets move to lock in gains and manage risk. Purchasing distressed "crypto 1.0" assets or companies and converting their strategy to the new model. Risk considerations and why diversification matters Paul stressed that while he believes in crypto, prudent risk management matters. He mentioned edge-case risks — for example, quantum attacks or specific vulnerabilities in mining — as reasons to diversify beyond Bitcoin alone. The goal is to construct a portfolio where only a subset of holdings needs to perform for the strategy to succeed. In short: rather than bet everything on a single outcome (Bitcoin to infinity or to zero), the approach seeks multiple asymmetric bets and defined downside exposure. What to watch next Over the coming months investors should watch how Amazing AI implements the strategy: the mix of option structures used, the degree of leverage taken, how the company re-protects gains as markets rise, and whether opportunistic acquisitions materialise. Also worth monitoring will be capital raises and how management balances funding the strategy with shareholder dilution. Conclusion The landscape for corporate crypto treasuries has shifted. Simple buy-and-hold has shown vulnerabilities in a choppy market. Amazing AI's approach, as explained by Paul Mathieson, blends derivatives expertise, diversification, active hedging, and an operating business that helps fund premiums — an attempt to deliver asymmetric upside while capping downside. If you're interested in corporate crypto strategies or the evolving ways companies are gaining exposure to digital assets, this is a model worth watching: it's about turning raw crypto exposure into a more manageable, capital-efficient, and actively managed program.

Dr. Corinne Low is not your typical Wharton professor. An economist whose research focuses on gender, discrimination, and the hidden costs of modern parenthood, she's also a mother, wife, and author navigating the very struggles she studies. I sit down with Dr. Low to talk about her new book Having It All (out September 23rd), a data-driven yet deeply personal guide to escaping the false promise of “work-life balance.” From the silent epidemic of exhausted mothers to the stubborn realities of unequal housework—even when women are the breadwinners—Dr. Low pulls no punches in showing us why the overwhelm isn't in our heads. It's in the data. With humor, candor, and hard truths, she invites us to redefine success on our own terms, reclaim our roles as the protagonists of our lives, and maybe even throw away the houseplants for a while. What you'll hear in this episode goes far beyond economics—it's a wake-up call for anyone who's ever felt like they're “failing” at doing it all. Spoiler: the system is failing you, not the other way around. From Single Mom Upbringing to Wharton Professor: How Dr. Low's childhood shaped her drive for career stability and independence.

(23:13)The 30-Year Squeeze: How careers, childcare, and aging parents collide to make midlife especially exhausting. (31:26)Reclaiming the Protagonist Role: Why women must stop being supporting characters in their own lives.

In this episode of All Rise, Kyla Gillespie joins us to explore the deeper theological debates surrounding gender and Scripture. Some voices argue that the Bible supports transgender identities—but what do those arguments really say? And how should we think about them in light of creation, redemption, and identity in Christ? With clarity and compassion, Kyla and our hosts explore what Scripture really teaches about gender, creation, and identity in Christ. Far from being a message of exclusion, the Bible offers a vision of wholeness, truth, and redemption that speaks to every human heart. Whether you're wrestling with questions yourself or engaging with friends who are, this conversation will help you see both the strength of the biblical witness and the hope it offers.

Send us a textAll-or-nothing thinking is a common mental pattern in children that can be frustrating for parents who want to help their kids gain perspective and stay emotionally grounded. We explore what's happening beneath the surface when kids think in extremes, and how we can gently support more balanced and resilient thinking.• Children's brains are still developing, especially in the prefrontal cortex responsible for complex thought and emotional regulation• Binary thinking (black and white, all good or all bad) is a normal developmental stage, not a flaw to be fixed• The emotional centers of a child's brain develop before their reasoning centers, explaining many extreme reactions• Identifying when your child is stuck in all-or-nothing thinking is the first step to helping them• Validate emotions without reinforcing extreme statements - say "losing feels frustrating" instead of "you don't always lose"• Model continuum thinking by verbalizing your own balanced thoughts out loud• Use language that adds nuance like "sometimes" and "a part of me feels..."• Praise effort, courage, and learning rather than just outcomes to build a growth mindset• Recognize that moving from all-or-nothing to nuanced thinking is a developmental journey*Did you know?

Binary Betrayal By Eleanor by 826 Valencia
SpaceTime with Stuart Gary | Astronomy, Space & Science News
In this episode of SpaceTime, we dive into the depths of cosmic mysteries and groundbreaking discoveries, including the enigmatic Long Period Transient and the stellar companion of Betelgeuse, alongside exciting findings from Mars.Unraveling the Long Period TransientAstronomers have uncovered a new cosmic phenomenon, ASCAP J1832-0911, which emits both radio and X-ray pulses every 44 minutes for just two minutes at a time. This first-ever detection of a Long Period Transient has left scientists puzzled about its nature and origins. Lead author Dr Andy Wang from Curtin University discusses the potential theories, including the possibility of a magnetar or a binary star system, while emphasizing the need for further observations to unravel this cosmic mystery.Betelgeuse's Stellar CompanionIn a remarkable discovery, astronomers have identified a stellar companion orbiting the red supergiant Betelgeuse. This pre-main sequence star, approximately one and a half times the mass of the Sun, resides within Betelgeuse's outer atmosphere. As Betelgeuse approaches the end of its life, this companion is also on a collision course with destiny, likely spiraling into Betelgeuse within the next 10,000 years. This finding could shed light on the periodic brightness changes observed in similar red supergiant stars.Mars Perseverance Rover's New DiscoveriesNASA's Perseverance Rover continues its exploration of Jezero Crater, uncovering unusual rock formations that may reveal significant geological history. The rover is investigating an intriguing contact area where clay-bearing units meet olivine-rich rocks, potentially preserving evidence of ancient intrusive processes. Despite challenges in studying these formations, mission managers remain determined to unlock the secrets they hold about Mars' past.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1538-4357NASA's Perseverance Rover Missionhttps://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 Space Time series 28 episode 90 for broadcast on 28 July 202500:47 Long Period Transient emitting radio and X ray pulses every 44 minutes07:48 Astronomers have discovered what appears to be a companion star in binary orbit12:30 NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover is continuing its exploration of Jetro Crater15:00 New study links early smartphone use to poorer mental health later in life17:39 There are new reports of Bigfoot activity in the Pacific Northwest state of Washington
We're back with science-based naturopathic doctor, Dr. Josh Levitt. No, it doesn't have to be an oxymoron - he's a myth-buster extraordinaire and this conversation is all about finding the truth in the mess of modern wellness. From essential oils and detoxes to gallbladder flushes and ear candles, we get into what's actually helpful, what's hype, and why so many people get caught in the middle. Dr. Josh and I talk about the nuance that often gets lost in clickbait culture — how real healing usually lives in the gray space between conventional and natural medicine. He shares how his own journey (which involves a blister, a Swiss pharmacy, and a serious wake-up call) shaped his approach to integrative care. And we dig into why people fall for bad health advice, how to spot the red flags, and what you can do instead. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting health info or frustrated by medical systems that leave out the whole picture, this episode is for you. 00:00 | Meet Dr. Josh Levitt (Again) 02:30 | Medicine as a Bridge, Not a Binary 05:50 | The Problem with Extremes in Wellness 08:50 | Snake Oil: The Origin Story 12:05 | Essential Oils: Helpful or Hype? 17:15 | Buyer Beware: Scams, Grifters & the Gray Area 21:15 | Ear Candles: A Hot Mess (Literally) 26:00 | Gallbladder Flushes & Detox Culture 33:30 | Life After Gallbladder Surgery: What No One Tells You 39:15 | Why We're Still So Sick Find Dr. Josh: upwellness.com instagram.com/drjoshlevitt tiktok.com/@drjoshlevitt Find Stacy: realeverything.com instagram.com/realstacytoth missionmakersart.com Learn more about your ad choices.

What if everything you've been taught about goal setting is actually working against you?What if the rigid structure of SMART goals is crushing your creativity, disconnecting you from your body, and forcing you into a binary that simply doesn't fit who you are?Today's guest, Zephyr (Zeph) Williams (they/them), is an anti-hustle business strategist who helps radical entrepreneurs build "breathe-easy businesses." When Zeph and I connected over our mutual loathing of SMART goals on social media, I knew we had to have this conversation.In this episode, we're diving deep into why traditional goal-setting methods fail so many of us—especially neurodivergent folks and anyone who doesn't fit the conventional mold. Zeph introduces their revolutionary SLIC method (Sustainable, Long-term, Iterative, Consistent) and shares why self-care isn't optional—it's strategic. But the real magic happens when we land on a beautiful reframe that might just change how you think about achievement forever.Want to see how No-BS OKRs fit into a coherent Connected Strategic Stack?This No-BS Connected Strategy Guide shows you what “good” looks like.

"I have been living an authentic and wildly courageous life ever since." How do you step most honestly into your true self? How do you combat social messaging that tells you to be someone other than who you are? In this deeply vulnerable episode, Emmeline sits down with nonbinary author, identity coach, keynote speaker, photographer, and multi-passionate creative Don Mamone. Don shares some of the details of their journey of letting people in (rather than coming out) and talks about the importance of becoming aware of and building safer spaces for everyone to live authentically. They also talk about the way their identity journey inspired them to write Different Doesn't Mean Broken: Living Courageously Outside the Binary. Don also shares how they've cultivated a creative career as a multi-hyphenate entrepreneur, and the way they've pivoted professionally to accommodate their most authentic self.To learn more about Don Mamone, or to follow their creative journey, visit their official website or follow them on Instagram.

Through the lens of Context, Contrast, and Continuum, I introduce a new mental model—one that honors nuance, invites integration, and transcends the binary habits that shape much of our perception. I like to call it the evolution of yin and yang symbol and it's very useful in everyday life. What do you think of the episode? Let's talk about it!

When singer Debbie Harry helped form Blondie in 1974 she developed a unique stage persona to front the band. Though she may have appeared to fans as a hyper-femme caricature, Harry recalls her role as androgynous or "transexual" in her 2019 memoir Face It. In the third episode of Soundscapes N.Y.C., host Ryan Purcell talks with Cornell University professor of music Judith Peraino, and University of Iowa cultural studies professor Kembrew McLeod about the stylistic and social forces that shaped gender-bending bands like Blondie and others in the early “punk” scene in 1970s New York. Judith Peraino is the author of multiple publications on rock music and constructions of gender. This includes We're Having Much More Fun: Punk Archives for the Present from CBGB to Gilman and Beyond (Cornell University Press, 2025) co-edited with Tom McEnaney, professor of comparative literature at the University of California, Berkley. McLeod is a cultural critic and documentary filmmaker. He is the author of Parallel Lines in Bloomsbury's 33 1/3 Series (2016) and the critically acclaimed history The Downtown Pop Underground: New York City and the Literary Punks, Renegade Artists, DIY Filmmakers, Mad Playwrights, and Rock 'N' Roll Glitter Queens Who Revolutionized Culture.

Text us your questions!What happens when a successful religious leader transitions genders and loses everything? Reverend Dr. Paula Stone Williams takes us on her extraordinary journey from privilege to authenticity.Paula once stood at the pinnacle of evangelical success – CEO of a large nonprofit, television host, magazine editor. But beneath this accomplished exterior lived a truth she'd known since childhood: she was transgender. When she finally answered what she describes as a "calling" toward authenticity (instigated by the TV show Lost, belive it or not!), the cost was staggering. Paula lost her jobs, her pension, and virtually all professional connections overnight, earning less than $6,000 annually for four years after transition.This conversation reveals Paula's unique perspective as someone who has experienced life on both sides of the gender divide. Her observations about male privilege are particularly illuminating – "I'll not live long enough to lose my white male entitlement. I brought it with me," she notes, while describing the jarring experience of suddenly being dismissed, patronized, and underestimated in professional settings after transition.Rather than abandoning faith after being rejected by her religious community, Paula describes developing a deeper, more nuanced spirituality. She frames this transformation as moving from a "left-brain heavy faith" focused on doctrine toward one embracing intuition and mystery, leading to a more authentic connection with Jesus's teachings.Paula brings refreshing nuance to often polarized conversations about transgender issues, distinguishing between different manifestations of gender dysphoria while expressing concerns about some current treatment approaches. For church leaders navigating these complex waters, she offers practical advice from her extensive experience leading religious communities.Through her book As a Woman, viral TED Talks, and speaking engagements worldwide, Paula now shares the wisdom gained from her journey, through both profound loss and unexpected discovery. We hope this conversation informs and challenges you as much as it did us.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.

Join us for a very special episode of Spanko! Podcast: For pride month this year, we wanted to gather with some friends and have a very important discussion about what it's like to be Trans in the Spanking Community. Returning guest, Avery, hosts this episode, as we gather at GASP this year with a group of extraordinary and wonderful spankos to discuss their journeys of self-discovery, acceptance, and how their individual eggs cracked (the evolution of the self-exploration journey and rebirth as your true self). We cover a wide range of topics such as gender identity affecting your chosen role as Top, Bottom, or Switch, and finding acceptance both with yourself and in the community. We also dive into some deep and personal territory and bring a lot of emotions and vulnerability forward. The journey is not always an easy one, but what we all experienced in creating this episode was love, support, and acceptance in ways that moved some of us to tears. Whether you have trans friends, feel awkward about discussing trans issues, have questions about playing with a trans person, are on your own journey of self-discovery or acceptance, or if you have ever felt awkward about yourself in any capacity, please give this episode a listen. We hope we've captured and shared with you the beauty and love in the room that we all felt while recording this very special episode.

This pic you see in the episode thumbnail was taken at an LA photo shoot back in 2002. I'm sharing it now because, in today's pod release, I include personal stories that challenge the gender binary. And if your brain is suddenly scrambling to try and figure me out, that feeling you have is the entire point of this episode. Rather than jumping to conclusions, I hope you'll listen in.Today's release takes a critical look at gender essentialism, the socially reinforced belief in a fixed gender binary. I kick things off with some personal stories, sharing why my girliest school photo is the cringiest, about the time I shaved my head in the early aughts, and the name of the book that had me performing "divine femininity" for over a decade. Newsflash: perimenopause can be a real bitch in the best possible way; I tell you how it's helping me shed the she-shoulds and embrace fuller expression of my humanity. I define gender essentialism and the politics that drive it, speak to how the film industry fails women who are dog-tired of performing womanhood, and offer up a reminder that cis folks are the top consumers of gender-affirming care. I speak about how the most popular nonfiction book from the 90s repackaged and reified gender norms for decades to come, then offer a deep bow and wholehearted shout-out to trans folks who bear the weight of virulent projections because of our collective unwillingness to grapple with social conditioning. Challenging gender essentialism means braving cognitive dissonance and disrupting social norms; this episode may push some long-ago-installed buttons. Before you decide how you feel about it, I encourage you to listen to the entire episode AND explore every resource provided in the show notes (there are lots of folks expressing this stuff better than I can). You might be surprised where it lands you.Referenced in this episode:The Cult of Gender w/ Maxx (TDP #70) w/ Maxx, Troy, & LainieElder Wisdom (TDP #23) w/ Katherine HowellsGender Trouble (Book), by Judith ButlerIf Books Could Kill (Podcast) - Men Are From Mars (Critique)ALOK: Biology!

I read Emmeline Clein's book 'Dead Weight' last fall in a flurry of non-fiction, memoir and journalism I was reading around eating disorder and body image. Dead Weight manages to bridge all three. Our conversation explores the cultural perceptions of anorexia and bulimia, the impact of diagnosis on identity, and the importance of pleasure and vitality in context of our perception of what disordered eating is. Dead Weight is a call for solidarity among those affected by eating disorders, which is all of us, no matter our relationship to food.Find Emmeline Clein here and order her book, Dead Weight, hereI've written about ‘eating a lot' here Guacamole FulfillmentAnd how not all poor mental health is ‘bad' - enjoy!Curious about exercise?

Being human entails an astonishingly complex interplay of biology and culture, and while there are important differences between women and men, there is a lot more variation and overlap than we may realize. Sex Is a Spectrum offers a bold new paradigm for understanding the biology of sex, drawing on the latest science to explain why the binary view of the sexes is fundamentally flawed—and why having XX or XY chromosomes isn't as conclusive as some would have us believe. In this lively and provocative book, leading biological anthropologist Agustín Fuentes begins by tracing the origin and evolution of sex, describing the many ways in the animal kingdom of being female, male, or both. Turning to humans, he presents compelling evidence from the fossil and archaeological record that attests to the diversity of our ancestors' sexual bonds, gender roles, and family and community structures, and shows how the same holds true in the lived experiences of people today. Fuentes tackles hot-button debates around sports and medicine, explaining why we can acknowledge that females and males are not the same while also embracing a biocultural reality where none of us fits neatly into only one of two categories. Bringing clarity and reason to a contentious issue, Sex Is a Spectrum: The Biological Limits of the Binary (Princeton University Press, 2025) shares a scientist's perspective on why a binary view of sex and gender is not only misguided but harmful, and why there are multitudes of ways of being human. Agustín Fuentes is professor of anthropology at Princeton University. Caleb Zakarin is editor at the New Books Network. Learn more about your ad choices.
