Podcasts about blind spots

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.

What happens when your greatest strength becomes your biggest blind spot? In this episode, Peter and Dave sit down with Jill Macauley, COO of Behavioral Essentials, to explore how self-awareness shapes better leadership. They dig into why even talented leaders struggle with identity shifts, how generational expectations are changing the workplace, and why the best coaches focus on small tweaks rather than complete overhauls. From the reluctant engineer-turned-manager to the chef who can't slow down, this conversation gets real about the grief of letting go of old identities and the messy work of looking in the mirror.This week´s takeaway: Your gifts become your blind spots when overused. That strength that got you promoted? It might be working against you now. The key is recognizing when speed becomes recklessness, when confidence becomes rigidity, or when expertise becomes tunnel vision.Identity shifts are a grieving process. Moving from individual contributor to leader to leader of leaders isn't just a promotion. It requires letting go of the identity you've built your career on, and that loss is real. Give yourself (and others) permission to struggle with it.Skip the woo-woo, ask "why" instead. Self-reflection doesn't have to feel soft or abstract. Simple questions like "Why did I react that way?" or "What role am I playing in this?" are pragmatic tools that work in any meeting, with any team.

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

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

Seeing Your Blind Spots: Why We Make the Choices We Do In this powerful and reflective episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis explore why people make choices that go against their values—especially in the aftermath of trauma, betrayal, and emotional flooding. Drawing from clinical experience, Internal Family Systems (IFS) language, trauma reenactment, arousal templates, and the science of human behavior, they unpack the subconscious forces that drive unwanted patterns. The discussion highlights how “firefighter” parts act impulsively to stop emotional pain, why unresolved trauma often leads to repeated relational patterns, and how blind spots develop from both early experiences and generational learning. Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn explore how shame, fear, secrecy, and lack of boundaries contribute to destructive behaviors—whether as the betrayed or the betrayer. The heart of this episode centers on building self-awareness, humility, and character development through honest reflection. Listeners are invited to pause, examine the choices they're making, recognize patterns that no longer serve them, and take courageous steps toward change. Whether you're working through betrayal trauma, navigating recovery, or wanting to become a better version of yourself, this conversation offers insight, compassion, and a path forward.

Send us a textWhat if the very foundation of modern care—science alone—is the problem?You see the stats: mothers are drowning in postpartum depression, crippling anxiety, and mysterious autoimmune flare-ups. You're doing the screenings, you're following the standard protocols, but the lasting solutions are elusive. What if the very foundation of modern care—science alone—is the problem? Maranda dives into the six critical limitations of medical science that are actively harming mothers in the fourth trimester. This isn't anti-science; it's a call for a more honest, holistic postpartum health model. This episode exposes the six critical limitations of medical care actively harming the fourth trimester.

I sat down with Matt Formston and came away both humbled and absolutely wired. Matt’s story is next level... losing most of his sight as a kid, getting shoved into hard places, then using all of that grit to become a world class athlete, speaker, executive and dad. We talk about the ugly bits too... getting lost for a decade, raging at bullies, and learning to stop fighting everyone. There are mad moments, breath holds of nearly six minutes, big wave surfing, and his plan to chase freediving records... but the gold is in the practical stuff: accountability, ruthless time management, making plans from your future self back to today, and the quiet daily work that actually moves the needle. This is raw, useful, and weirdly comforting. If you want a blueprint for owning your life, not waiting for permission, and getting really good at the hard stuff, this convo is for you, kids.

Many CEOs feel overwhelmed, pressured by endless tasks, and trapped in habits that don't serve their long-term goals. I discuss why working longer hours isn't the answer and emphasize the importance of letting go of lower-value work to focus on what truly drives impact. We begin by examining the first steps of coaching, identifying what a client genuinely desires for their business. Establishing a clear vision is critical, as it not only sets direction but also aligns the team. Without a well-defined objective, leaders often operate reactively rather than proactively. Through coaching, we identify these gaps and develop strategies that align with genuine aspirations. Revealing Blind Spots & Resetting Priorities A key focus of coaching is uncovering blind spots that hinder growth. Many CEOs struggle with patterns of impatience, control, or other behaviors that limit both personal and organizational progress. Through reflective questioning, leaders gain insight into these hidden challenges, enabling them to break unproductive patterns and accelerate growth. We then explore resetting priorities, helping leaders determine what they are truly optimizing for, whether financial growth, innovation, or team development. Each leader's journey is unique, and coaching provides a tailored approach to focus energy on the highest-impact areas. Additionally, we discuss the importance of reframing challenges, demonstrating how shifts in perspective can reveal new opportunities and solutions that were previously obscured. Realigning Teams & Embracing Change Growth often requires realigning teams. The people who helped build the business may not always fit the vision for the future. Coaching provides guidance on having difficult conversations and making courageous decisions that strengthen alignment toward shared goals. I share stories from my coaching experience that show how realignment can transform team dynamics and drive substantial business growth. Throughout the episode, I emphasize that maintaining the status quo won't propel leaders to the next level. By embracing change, identifying blind spots, and making strategic adjustments, CEOs can achieve faster progress, reduced stress, and greater clarity. I conclude by inviting leaders to explore my personalized coaching programs, designed to help operators evolve into visionary CEOs. These sessions provide practical tools, mentorship, and actionable insights to unlock leadership potential and accelerate business success. Key Takeaways Vision before strategy: Growth begins with defining a clear, compelling vision that aligns your entire organization. Awareness precedes change: Recognizing control patterns, impatience, or outdated habits is the first step to transformation. Prioritize for impact: Identify what you're optimizing for, financial success, innovation, culture, and align your efforts accordingly. Perspective is everything: Reframing problems often reveals the breakthroughs you've been missing. Team alignment drives results: The people who got you here may not be the ones to take you there, lead with courage and clarity.
