What if the feedback you're most hesitant to receive is actually a gift? In this solo episode, I share what 360-degree feedback really is—and what it is not—drawing on more than 30 years of experience helping leaders use feedback as a tool for growth rather than judgment. I explain how 360 feedback works, why it must always be developmental, and how it helps people see both their strengths and their blind spots through the eyes of others. I also share a personal story about 360 feedback I once received that surprised me—and ultimately helped me become a better leader. When we take the time to reflect on the data, share it openly, and make a genuine commitment to change, that's where the real power of this kind of feedback lives. Used well, it builds trust, strengthens relationships, and supports meaningful, lasting growth. Since 1994, my company, Grow Strong Leaders, has helped organizations use 360-degree feedback to support leadership development—not performance ratings or termination decisions. If you're curious about using this technology in a way that truly supports growth, connect with me on LinkedIn or reach out through growstrongleaders.com. You'll discover:Why 360 feedback should always be developmental, not punitiveHow honest input from others reveals blind spots and strengthsThe importance of sharing your feedback and your intentionsWhy commitment—not data—is where real change beginsHow 360s build trust when used with humility and careCheck out all the episodesLeave a review on Apple PodcastsConnect with Meredith on LinkedInFollow Meredith on TwitterDownload the free ebook Listen Like a Pro

Send us a textIdentifying and Addressing Common Financial Blind Spots for High EarnersIn this episode of The Retire Early Retire Now podcast, host Hunter Kelly, a certified financial planner, discusses six common financial blind spots that high-income earners often face. Using a metaphor of a surgeon's pattern recognition, he explains how financial planning works and highlights the importance of coordinating financial actions to ensure a strong plan. The blind spots covered include confusing high income with a strong plan, overfunding retirement accounts, optimizing for taxes at the expense of life, focusing on net worth instead of flexibility, over-optimizing, and waiting for confidence before making changes. Hunter emphasizes the importance of having a clear plan, understanding trade-offs, and striving for flexibility to achieve financial goals and live a better life.00:00 Welcome to The Retire Early Retire Now Podcast01:30 Understanding Financial Blind Spots02:10 Blind Spot #1: Confusing High Income with a Strong Plan04:08 Blind Spot #2: Overfunding Retirement Accounts06:43 Blind Spot #3: Optimizing for Taxes at the Expense of Life07:57 Blind Spot #4: Focusing on Net Worth Instead of Optionality10:56 Blind Spot #5: Over Optimizing and Analysis Paralysis12:47 Blind Spot #6: Waiting for Confidence Before Making Changes15:22 Bringing It All Together16:12 Conclusion and Contact InformationCheck out the Palm Valley Wealth Management WebsitePalmValleywm.comCheck us out on InstagramLinkedIn FacebookListen to the Podcast Here!

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Martin Dubin, psychologist, former CEO, executive coach, and author of Blindspotting: How to See What's Holding You Back as a Leader. Marty brings a rare combination of clinical insight and real-world leadership experience to a topic that affects every project manager and frontline leader: the blindspots that quietly shape our behavior, decisions, and impact. Together, the discussion explores how motives often drive our actions without us realizing it, why strengths can become liabilities when overused, and how emotion acts as one of the most powerful and least discussed forces in leadership. Marty explains his layered model of blindspots, including identity, motive, traits, emotion, and behavior, and shows how leaders can build awareness without trying to "fix" who they are. You will also hear practical guidance on creating a simple change plan that actually sticks, using small behavioral tweaks, prompts, and accountability rather than dramatic personal transformation. The conversation closes with thoughtful examples of how blindspotting can improve not only leadership at work, but relationships at home as well. If you want practical insight into leading with greater self-awareness, emotional range, and intentional growth, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "The hardest part of leadership is not managing others. It's managing ourselves." "Your strengths work for you most of the time, which is why it's so hard to see when they start working against you." "You know, whatever it is, it's usually invisible to us until someone or something forces it into view." "Now, if you put the modifier TOO in front of it, what happens when you're TOO confident? What happens when you're TOO organized? What happens when you're TOO creative?" "What do they tell you? You are too...." "Motives constrict under stress, and that's often when blindspots do the most damage." "Traits don't need to be changed. They need to be regulated." "Emotion is one of the most powerful tools leaders have, whether they use it intentionally or not." "Real change comes from small behavioral tweaks, not personality transformation."

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Chris Dolezalek, Executive Vice President of R&D at Hum Capital. Chris shares his journey from Silicon Valley’s most highly funded startup to leading innovation in venture capital. He discusses the flaws in traditional VC, the power of resilience, and how technology and human insight are reshaping funding for diverse founders. Listeners will hear hard-won lessons from the edge of chaos, stories of near-failure and rebirth, and practical advice for founders seeking capital in uncertain times. Four Key Takeaways: Resilience is Essential [29:46]Chris emphasizes the importance of getting up after setbacks, sharing the Japanese saying, “Get knocked down seven times, get up eight,” and how resilience is a key trait for founders. Venture Capital Needs Disruption [8:15]Traditional VC relies on personal networks and outdated data, often excluding minority and female founders. Hum Capital is using real-time financial data and AI to democratize access to funding. Human Insight Complements AI [19:35]While AI can flag promising companies, Chris explains the need for human judgment—what he calls “AI whispering”—to make the best investment decisions. Learned Resilience and Growth [36:05]Chris introduces the concept of “learned resilience”—not just bouncing back, but learning from setbacks to come back stronger and smarter. Quote of the Show (32:52):“The truth about software is the Milli Vanilli effect. You don’t have to be able to sing. You just have to look good.” – Chris Dolezalek Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

Journalist Ben Dreyfuss (writer of Calm Down and co-host of Central Air) joins us for a conversational grab bag: Zohran Mamdani's agenda; the Left's ideologues (and how to distinguish them from the cosplayers); the challenge of maintaining personal relationships across political divides; Luigi Mangione's appeal; the dearth of humor amongst Millennials; and more.

In this bonus episode of Hybrid Office Hours, the Hybrid team breaks down the most common marketing blind spots they see across the cannabis industry, from dispensaries to B2B and ancillary brands. Drawing on years of firsthand experience, this conversation outlines why many cannabis marketing strategies fail to deliver results and what brands should rethink if they want to compete, grow, and win market share. The discussion is practical, candid, and grounded in real examples from legal cannabis markets. Rather than chasing trends or vanity metrics, the episode challenges brands to focus on fundamentals like audience clarity, value differentiation, realistic expectations, and long term visibility. Below are the ten cannabis marketing blind spots covered in the episode and why each one matters. 1. Believing Your Audience Is Everyone One of the most persistent mistakes cannabis brands make is assuming their product is for everyone. While many people can consume cannabis, that does not mean everyone will. Trying to appeal to a broad audience dilutes messaging and weakens brand identity. The team emphasizes the importance of niching down and focusing on the people most likely to say yes. Brands that go deep with a specific audience conserve marketing budgets, create stronger emotional connections, and become more relevant within a defined lifestyle. 2. Relying on Educational Content to Drive Sales Educational cannabis content has value, but it rarely leads directly to transactions. Topics like terpenes, cannabinoids, and the entourage effect attract informational search traffic, not buyers ready to purchase. The episode explains that educational searches are typically global and dominated by publishers and media brands, not dispensaries or product companies. While education can support sales conversations or B2B marketing, it should not be treated as a primary revenue driver for consumer brands. 3. Failing to Clearly Define a Unique Value Proposition If a brand looks and sounds like its competitors, consumers have no reason to choose it. Every purchase decision is based on perceived value, not just price. The team stresses that brands must clearly communicate what makes them different and why that difference matters to customers. A unique value proposition only works if the market actually cares about it, which requires research, testing, and validation. 4. Assuming Consumers Will Adopt What You Want to Sell Many brands build products or features based on internal assumptions rather than market demand. This often leads to wasted time, money, and energy. The conversation highlights the importance of minimum viable products, market research, and competitive analysis. Great ideas are only valuable if customers actually want them and are willing to pay for them. 5. Underestimating the Impact of Packaging and Design Packaging is often the first and sometimes only interaction a consumer has with a cannabis brand. Strong design builds trust, signals quality, and drives trial. Examples like Wild and 1906 illustrate how distinctive packaging can influence purchasing decisions, even when consumers cannot remember the brand name. The team also notes that while compliance rules may limit creativity, all competitors face the same constraints. 6. Treating Cannabis as a Commodity Instead of a Lifestyle Successful brands align themselves with a lifestyle, values, and identity rather than just a product category. People use brands to signal who they are and what they believe in. The episode reinforces that lifestyle branding is a natural extension of niching down and is especially effective in competitive markets where products are otherwise similar. 7. Ignoring PR as a Core Marketing Channel Public relations is positioned as a visibility engine that fuels both traditional and AI driven search. Mentions from trusted publications and industry sources carry more weight than self promotion. The team advises brands to budget for PR early, coordinate announcements carefully, and avoid missing opportunities by sharing news before involving PR professionals. 8. Expecting Immediate Results and Overnight Wins Marketing is a process, not an event. Brands often approach marketing reactively, expecting it to solve urgent business problems. The episode makes clear that trust, awareness, and demand are built over time. Even paid advertising requires repetition and consistency, while organic strategies like SEO and brand building need patience and long term commitment. 9. Misjudging Market Size and Growth Potential Understanding total addressable market is critical in cannabis due to geographic and regulatory limits. Not every category is large enough to support aggressive growth targets. The team shares examples where brands set unrealistic revenue goals without accounting for category size, competition, or consumer demand, leading to frustration and financial strain. 10. Overvaluing Social Media as a Sales Channel A strong social presence does not automatically translate into revenue. Followers, likes, and engagement are not the same as customers. Social media is positioned as a tool for attention, credibility, and brand presence rather than direct ROI. The team encourages brands to set realistic expectations, prioritize relatability over rigid brand rules, and give social media managers the autonomy to create engaging content. Final Takeaway These ten blind spots are common across the cannabis industry, which means brands that address them gain an immediate strategic advantage. By focusing on clarity, differentiation, patience, and visibility, cannabis companies can move ahead of competitors who remain stuck in outdated assumptions.

Interview Segment: Tony Kelly Illuminating Data Blind Spots As data sprawls across clouds and collaboration tools, shadow data and fragmented controls have become some of the biggest blind spots in enterprise security. In this segment, we'll unpack how Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) helps organizations regain visibility and control over their most sensitive assets. Our guest will break down how DSPM differs from adjacent technologies like DLP, CSPM, and DSP, and how it integrates into broader Zero Trust and cloud security strategies. We'll also explore how compliance and regulatory pressures are shaping the next evolution of the DSPM market—and what security leaders should be doing now to prepare.

Topic Segment: We've got passkeys, now what? Over this year on this podcast, we've talked a lot about infostealers. Passkeys are a clear solution to implementing phishing and theft-resistant authentication, but what about all these infostealers stealing OAuth keys and refresh tokens? As long as session hijacking is as simple as moving a cookie from one machine to another, securing authentication seems like solving only half the problem. Locking the front door, but leaving a side door unlocked. After doing some research, it appears that there has been some work on this front, including a few standards that have been introduced: DBSC (Device Bound Session Credentials) for browsers DPoP (Demonstrating Proof of Possession) for OAuth applications We'll address a few key questions in this segment: 1. how do these new standards help stop token theft? 2. how broadly have they been adopted?

Chris Anderson speaks with Dr. Brian McCarley about his journey from a head athletic trainer to a long-time successful chiropractor, guiding entrepreneurs, business leaders, and families.From Athletic Training to Chiropractic: Dr. Brian recounts his career shift, explaining that the late-night, intense lifestyle of an athletic trainer was incompatible with being a newlywed. This led him through a brief stint in the business world before choosing chiropractic—a more natural, faith-aligned healthcare approach—necessitating a difficult move to Texas for three years of school.The Entrepreneurial Decision Cascade: Success after the initial leap requires navigating a continuous series of smaller, difficult decisions that, when stacked together, can feel overwhelming. Dr. Brian advocates for prioritizing based on what's urgent versus what's truly important, and learning to make the "least bad decision" when all options are challenging. He suggests using whiteboards and Post-it Notes to visualize and prioritize tasks, and to always assess how one decision will affect others down the road.The Value of Advisors: Having a team of trusted advisors is crucial for gaining an outside perspective, simplifying complex issues, and identifying personal "blind spots" or ego-driven blocks that cloud judgment. Dr. Brian sees his role with patients and clients not as an educator, but as a "guide" to help them become the "hero of their own life."Overcoming "Brain Fog" with Health: The episode dives into the connection between health and entrepreneurial performance. Dr. Brian pinpoints "bright shiny syndrome" and neglecting self-care as common causes of mental clarity issues that compromise business-critical decisions.Practical Health Strategies for High-Achievers:Efficient Exercise: Focus on activities that offer the greatest benefit in the shortest time, citing rucking (walking with a weighted vest) as an effective, low-impact method.Time Management & Delegation: Calculate your effective hourly rate and delegate tasks that cost less than that rate to a VA or part-time help, freeing up the entrepreneur for high-value work and personal time.Hourly Brain Breaks: Set a timer to take a 5-minute break every hour to step away from the computer. This prevents neurological burnout and increases efficiency and problem-solving.The Logic of Intermittent Fasting: Dr. Brian shares his thoughts on intermittent fasting, noting that three meals a day is a product of the industrial revolution and that bodies are designed for periods of fasting. He advises anyone trying it to be deliberate, prepare for mental shifts, and learn to distinguish between true hunger and boredom by drinking water. This episode is NOT sponsored.

Interview Segment: Tony Kelly Illuminating Data Blind Spots As data sprawls across clouds and collaboration tools, shadow data and fragmented controls have become some of the biggest blind spots in enterprise security. In this segment, we'll unpack how Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) helps organizations regain visibility and control over their most sensitive assets. Our guest will break down how DSPM differs from adjacent technologies like DLP, CSPM, and DSP, and how it integrates into broader Zero Trust and cloud security strategies. We'll also explore how compliance and regulatory pressures are shaping the next evolution of the DSPM market—and what security leaders should be doing now to prepare.

Topic Segment: We've got passkeys, now what? Over this year on this podcast, we've talked a lot about infostealers. Passkeys are a clear solution to implementing phishing and theft-resistant authentication, but what about all these infostealers stealing OAuth keys and refresh tokens? As long as session hijacking is as simple as moving a cookie from one machine to another, securing authentication seems like solving only half the problem. Locking the front door, but leaving a side door unlocked. After doing some research, it appears that there has been some work on this front, including a few standards that have been introduced: DBSC (Device Bound Session Credentials) for browsers DPoP (Demonstrating Proof of Possession) for OAuth applications We'll address a few key questions in this segment: 1. how do these new standards help stop token theft? 2. how broadly have they been adopted?

What if your garage is the biggest overlooked security risk in your home? In this episode of https://Ready-Radio.com, guest host Bill Anderson of https://www.prep2protectco.com, fills in for John Rush and welcomes Chris Hummel of Hummel's Overhead Garage Doors (https://hummelohd.com) to focus on how preparedness and safety start with securing your garage. Why do criminals target garages first? How often do garage doors compromise home security during break-ins or emergencies? Chris highlights how outdated openers, worn springs, and weak doors quietly make the garage the weak point of your home. Real-world theft stories and the lack of surveillance reinforce the urgent need to secure this entry point. The discussion sharpens practical preparedness by emphasizing: knowing how a garage door should work in emergencies, understanding that springs are the first to fail, and performing simple inspections to extend your door's life and prevent dangerous failures. Chris emphasizes that big-box equipment isn't equal to professional hardware, warning that cutting corners may prove costly. Security upgrades are also key. Can reinforced struts stop a break-in? Are garage cameras and smart apps missing from your security plan? And why do criminals skip homes that seem harder to breach? This episode connects faith-based business values, real-world preparedness, and practical home defense into one compelling question: Are you truly ready for the “what-ifs” hiding in plain sight? Tune in to discover steps you can take today to prepare.

This episode is something special. We took the audio straight from our Saturday Service here in Austin, Texas — our in person community gathering space where clarity deepens, intuition sharpens, and people from all walks of life come together to reconnect with who they truly are. If you were there, you'll feel the field all over again. If you're tuning in from anywhere else in the world, you're stepping right into the heart of Source Clarity.As we close out the year, I want to take a moment to thank you — sincerely — for being part of this podcast adventure. Whether you've listened to one episode or every single one, your presence is felt, and it matters. You are the reason this community exists.

We want your feedback and questions. Text us here.Every leader has blind spots that shape their results, relationships, and reputation. Leadership growth does not happen by accident. Growth happens when you shine a light on your bad habits and incorrect assumptions. The challenge is that it is difficult to recognize these issues in yourself. Leaders who confront their blind spots expand their influence and earn their teams' confidence and trust. In today's episode of The Champion Forum Podcast, Jeff reveals three blind spots that quietly hold leaders back and explains how to eliminate them.

Ever notice how easy it is to diagnose everyone else's mistakes while your own patterns stay stuck on repeat?  We dive into a simple, research-backed tool that cuts through bias fast: self-distancing. By stepping just a little outside your story, you cool emotional heat, spot blind spots, and see the strategic move that's been hiding in plain sight.  We start with the core problem of the inside view—how ego, fear, and history warp our decisions—and show why clarity comes from changing the frame, not collecting more facts. Then we get practical. You'll learn the Friend Test for emotional regulation, the New CEO Test to pierce organizational inertia, and how to build an outside view with base rates before your hopeful narrative takes over. These aren't theories; they're field-tested habits drawn from leadership research, decision science, and emotional intelligence.  If you want different outcomes in your business, health, or relationships, you don't need endless motivation—you need a better vantage point. Listen for the prompts, try them this week, and watch how your choices shift from reactive to strategic. If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend who needs a clearer view, and leave a review to help others find the show.  Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First, Executive, Leadership and Optimal Performance Coach 360, Change Leadership & Culture Transformation Consultant

Welcome back to the Top Contractor School Podcast, where contractors come to grow stronger, scale smarter, and build businesses that last. In this episode, Eric Guy sits down with Doug Brown — CEO of CEO Sales Strategies, revenue expert, and the mind behind the Double Your Sales methodology. Doug has built, scaled, burned down, rebuilt, and advised 37 companies, including several in the contracting space. His sales systems have powered some of the world's top organizations, and today he brings that elite-level knowledge straight to the TCS community. From navigating family dynamics to building real leverage to mastering sales follow-up, Doug lays out a blueprint that every contractor needs to hear.

Transitioning a mature organization from an API-first model to an AI-first model is no small feat. In this episode, Yash Kosaraju, CISO of Sendbird, shares the story of how they pivoted from a traditional chat API platform to an AI agent platform and how security had to evolve to keep up.Yash spoke about the industry's obsession with "Zero Trust," arguing instead for a practical "Multi-Layer Trust" approach that assumes controls will fail . We dive deep into the specific architecture of securing AI agents, including the concept of a "Trust OS," dealing with new incident response definitions (is a wrong AI answer an incident?), and the critical need to secure the bridge between AI agents and customer environments .This episode is packed with actionable advice for AppSec engineers feeling overwhelmed by the speed of AI. Yash shares how his team embeds security engineers into sprint teams for real-time feedback, the importance of "AI CTFs" for security awareness, and why enabling employees with enterprise-grade AI tools is better than blocking them entirely .Questions asked:Guest Socials - Yash's LinkedinPodcast Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@CloudSecPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AI Security Podcast⁠Questions asked:(00:00) Introduction(02:20) Who is Yash Kosaraju?

Etinosa Agbonlahor is the CEO of Decision Alpha and former Director of Behavioral Research at Fidelity Investments. A behavioral economist by training, she helps companies understand how customers actually make decisions—and how that should shape pricing. In this episode, Etinosa and Mark Stiving unpack the tension between real value and perceived value, why customers don't react to prices rationally, and how behavioral economics can strengthen pricing strategies. They explore value drivers, ethical nudging, the fear of raising prices, and why most buyers don't remember prices as clearly as business owners think. If you want clearer, psychology-backed ways to price, communicate value, and make better pricing decisions, this episode gives you practical insights you can use right away.   Why You Have to Check Out Today's Podcast: Why customers forget your prices—and how that myth makes business owners afraid to raise them. How behavioral economics expands value beyond profit into perception, context, and emotion. How to raise prices ethically using segmentation, glide paths, and clear communication.   "Understand your customer. Do the pricing research with customers—not just with quant models. Go talk to customers. It's important." — Etinosa Agbonlahor   Topics Covered: 02:08 – Pricing and Behavioral Economics. Mark and Etinosa debate where behavioral economics fits in pricing—Mark sees it as the final touch, while Etinosa argues it shapes value perception from the start. 05:20 – Defining Real vs. Perceived Value. A foundational question: is value measured strictly in outcomes, or also in emotion, context, and comparison? Their contrasting definitions reveal why pricing teams often misread customers. 09:05 – Value Beyond Monetary Price. Etinosa expands value to include convenience, safety, time saved, emotional comfort, and opportunity cost—benefits customers feel but rarely articulate. 10:37 – Value Drivers in Pricing Strategies. Behavioral research uncovers the real outcomes customers care about. Mark connects this to pricing strategy: quantify value drivers to justify stronger pricing. 15:32 – Manipulation in Behavioral Economics. Mark asks whether nudging is manipulation. Etinosa explains that behavioral tools aren't coercive—intent determines whether they help or harm the customer. 18:02 – Ethics of Choice Architecture. Every pricing page is a designed choice. Etinosa contrasts ethical nudges with dark patterns, while Mark questions how businesses balance their goals with customer wellbeing. 22:22 – Behavioral Economics in Business. Real-world examples show how behavioral insights improve retention, financial outcomes, and long-term customer relationships—not just revenue. 24:20 – Pricing Fears and Customer Perception. The Spotlight Effect is a myth: customers don't track your prices as closely as you think. The two discuss how clearer communication and segmentation reduce backlash when raising prices. 28:48 – Understand Your Customer. Etinosa's closing advice: real pricing power comes from customer conversations—not spreadsheets. Behavioral economics begins with understanding actual human behavior.   Key Takeaways: "Value is all about perception. Once you step into perception, you're in behavioral economics." — Etinosa Agbonlahor "There is no such thing as a neutral choice. Every pricing page is designed—intentionally or unintentionally." — Etinosa Agbonlahor "People are not rational. Once you accept that as fact, you can design pricing that fits how people actually behave."  — Etinosa Agbonlahor "Business owners think customers remember prices more than they actually do." — Etinosa Agbonlahor   People / Resources Mentioned: Richard Thaler – Nobel laureate; originator of transaction utility and foundational behavioral economics concepts. Dan Ariely – Author of Predictably Irrational, referenced in discussing irrational decision patterns. Weber-Fechner Law – Psychological principle used to design perceptually smoother price increases.   Connect with Etinosa Agbonlahor: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/etinosasere Email: etinosa@decision-alpha.com   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

Chemical and biological attack attempts can be hard to detect, but that doesn't mean they aren't happening, including at major events and sports games, says Jeff Brodeur in this month's Security Management Highlights podcast, sponsored by Acoem.

Ever caught yourself defending a dumb idea just to look smart? That's your ego controlling your brain. Cognitive biases and ego team up to screw your decisions daily. Picture this: confirmation bias has you cherry-picking facts that stroke your self-image, while ego whispers you're too smart for mistakes. Spot the traps like Dunning-Kruger (overestimating skill) or sunk cost fallacy (throwing good money after bad). Takehomes: Point at one bias daily: "Am I ignoring counter-evidence like a muscly Irishman blocking the door?" Test decisions: Can you drop it on your foot? If abstract, make it concrete now. Audit ego weekly: List three "wins" that were actually luck—kill the illusion. Hit play and arm yourself against yourself today. SPONSORS

There was a horrible story in the news recently where a father and son were killed by a swarm of "murder hornets" while zip-lining in the country of Laos.   That is tragic, and I don't mean to make light of it when I say your love life is being killed by a bunch of "Killer B's" too.   Those B's are: Blind Spots, Baggage, Beliefs and Barriers.
