Tom Billington, CEO of Billington CyberSecurity and Producer of the Billington CyberSecurity Summit, joins Carolyn and co-host Mark Senell to discuss the upcoming 14th Annual Billington CyberSecurity Summit, what goes into creating a valuable community for both the government and the commercial sector, and the important topics that will be the basis for this year's conference.Key Topics[02:58] - Founding the Billington Cybersecurity Summit [09:59] - Developing Conference Topics [12:43] - Bridging Federal and Commercial Cybersecurity [16:02]- Critical Infrastructure at Billington [19:04] - Commercial Industry at Billington [21:45] - Registering for The Summit[22:49] - Preparing Key Conference Themes [24:46] - Hottest Topics at Billington This Year[27:03] - What's New About Zero Trust [28:22] - Tech Talk QuestionsQuotable QuotesOn Founding Billington Cybersecurity Summit: "I really started this business to be distinctly patriotic, to provide a serious dialogue in a way that I felt wasn't really being done at that time...So breaking into the federal cybersecurity community, to be honest, was hard as an entrepreneur. We had to build trusted relationship after trusted relationship. Over the course of 14 years, it's become decidedly easier now, now that we have had the privilege of having those trusted relationships."On Zero Trust: "Many of the areas that zero trust encompasses have been around since the profession has existed in cybersecurity. But at no other time has the U.S. government proclaimed the importance of this overarching field as it has in the last few years. So it becomes important for the government. It becomes important for the industry leaders who serve them."On International Cyber Collaboration: "So it's not just the U.S. team sport. It's an international team sport. The partnership with our international allies is crucially important."About Our GuestBefore launching his company in 2010, Tom Billington spent nearly two decades producing hundreds of events, publications and articles for four of the world's leading media companies: Reader's Digest, Phillips Business Information, BNA (now Bloomberg BNA) and Thomson Reuters. Now, Tom is the CEO and Founder of Billington CyberSecurity, a leading independent education company founded in 2010 with an exclusive focus on cybersecurity education.

Dear Life Warriors, I want to dispel the myths on mental illness! Meet my friend, Natasha Bowman, President of Performance-Renew, Attorney, Tedx Speaker, Published Author, Professor and she has Bipolar Disorder. Natasha shared in a recent post on Linked In, "This is the face of someone with Bipolar Disorder. When most people think of someone with mental illness, they often think of someone who shows visible symptoms. Because of the stigma we don't get the support we need" Overcoming mental health stigma is only one part of a larger effort to foster an organizational culture of psychological safety. That stigma prevents us from talking openly about mental health issues and prevents those who need help the most from seeking it.I had the pleasure of interviewing Natasha where she shared a little bit of her story and why it was important to let people know of her diagnosis. Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). You are not alone. Statistics shows that 1 in every 5 people suffer from this disorder and you do not have to suffer in silence.Subscribe to us on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DearLifeWarriorsPurchase my mind cleansing journal: https://www.30daystoanewyoujournal.comAbout Natasha Bowman:https://performance-renew.com/Recognized as a Top 30 Global Guru for Management, Natasha Bowman, JD, SPHR has labored to transform the American workplace from the inside out for nearly 20 years.

Which firms are best prepared to keep pace with changes in the legal market? That was the question explored in a recent survey of U.S. and European law firms, the 2019 Future Ready Lawyer Survey, conducted by Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory. Among the findings: The firms that are best prepared for the future are those that already leverage technology. In this episode of LawNext, host Bob Ambrogi discusses the survey with Dean Sonderegger, who was recently named to lead Wolters Kluwer Legal and Regulatory U.S., the division of the global publishing giant that serves legal, corporate and compliance professionals in the United States. In a conversation recorded live at the annual conference of the American Association of Law Libraries, they also discuss innovation in the legal industry and the future of Wolters Kluwer. At Wolters Kluwer, Sonderegger -- whose formal title is senior vice president and general manager -- is responsible for accelerating the vision and strategy for the business. He has a particular focus on rapid development of advanced digital products and services to enhance customers’ efficiencies and workflows. Sonderegger is also a well-known speaker and thought leader on topics including artificial intelligence, blockchain, the evolution of the legal profession, and business transformation. He writes a regular column for Above the Law on the intersection of technology and the practice of law, and his commentary has appeared in several publications including Forbes, CFO Magazine and the ABA Journal. A veteran of the information and software industries, Sonderegger joined Wolters Kluwer in 2015 as the head of legal markets and innovation. In that role, he is credited with spearheading customer-focused innovation. Earlier in his career, he was executive director of product management and marketing at Bloomberg BNA.

Hasty borrowing by Chinese consumers and corporates may leave the country's economy with a debt hangover. That's the contention of independent China economist Andy Xie. Business Daily's Ed Butler asks him whether ordinary Chinese are carelessly running up huge debts without appreciating the consequences, and whether the rest of the world should be concerned. And it's not just China. Most East Asian countries have seen a rapid rise in household debts in recent years. Among them is Vietnam, where journalist Lien Hoang of Bloomberg BNA explains that it is in large part a bi-product of the government's policy to introduce its citizens to the wonders of online banking.

Marc Bekerman joins Andrea L. Ben-Yosef in a two-part podcast about post-mortem estate planning. Marc is a solo practitioner in Long Island, New York, and an adjunct professor of law at New York Law School where he formerly served as the Associate Director of its Graduate Tax Program. Marc is also a member of the Estates Gifts and Trusts Advisory Board for Bloomberg BNA. It may be surprising to know that the death of a person does not end the ability to refine their estate plan. Marc discusses how estate planners can still take actions after a person’s death to maximize the benefit to the beneficiaries. Part 1 covers estate tax considerations, such as whether to elect alternate valuation of assets and where and when to deduct administration expenses. Part 2 will cover income tax planning opportunities.

Thanks for asking me. Debbi: Sure thing! It's wonderful to have you on and so let's talk about Lacey Smithsonian. I had to laugh when I read your bio on your website and you described Washington, D.C. as “a city rich in history, culture, political drama and crimes of fashion”. Ellen: That is true. I absolutely believe that. Although now that we've moved to Colorado, I sometimes feel I owe an apology to Washington. I'm now living in a town, I'm living in a town where people when they dress up they have to wear their good fleece. So, that's the difference in our towns. Debbi: Oh my gosh! Well at least their wearing something interesting like fleece. Ellen: Well, yes but everybody's wearing it. Or you know, just your average gym wear because everyone here's into, you know sports, gym wear, skiing and in Washington lots of people wear suits. Debbi: Right! And dull suits at that. Ellen: I know. We just want to perk them up a bit. Debbi: Well, D.C. is hardly the fashion center of the country or the world. Ellen: Well, I like to call it the city that fashion forgot. And I also think it's the home of the congressional comb over and I often wonder why, why it is that congressmen and senators don't have the typical male baldness patterns. I think that there's a lot of plugs going on. That's just a guess, and Botox. Debbi: You might have something there. I think you may be on to something. Before we actually start talking much about Lacey Smithsonian I wanted to talk about your days as a journalist. Tell us a little about your journalistic escapades. I think I spit that word out right finally, escapades. Ellen: Yes, that's great. I was a reporter in Washington, D.C. for BNA, now Bloomberg BNA for 17 years and I mostly covered the Occupational Safety and Health Administration which is great if you're a mystery writer because you learn all the horrible ways people die on the job. Debbi: Yeah absolutely, wow! Ellen: Yeah. Debbi: It's funny how real cases like that can inspire so much can't they? Ellen: They really can and you know I was horrified to find out that people have actually died in vats of chocolate. Debbi: Oh my gosh! Ellen: You think you make that stuff up but it turns out it's real. So that was, yeah it was great and you know someone died in a vat of cherries. So, very tragic but odd you know. Debbi: It is. It's just amazing! Truth truly is stranger than fiction. Ellen: Yeah, it really is. And of course I started out on a small western newspaper. And I think the highlight of my reporting days then is when I crawled through a massage parlor window. Debbi: [laughs] Ellen: To get inside to interview the girls as it were. Debbi: Whoa, very Brenda Starr. Ellen: [laughs] Debbi: Old reference. Ellen: Yeah, it was a crazy town, so I was happy to get back east. Debbi: Well, I have to ask you what inspired Lacey Smithsonian as a character. Ellen: Well, I love mysteries and I was reading them constantly and I love women characters, you know sleuths, the detective character and they were rough and they were tough and they were smart...

Today the Supreme Court hears arguments in Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc., a case that will determine whether companies have the right to patent human genes. The case centers on Myriad Genetics, a company that patented the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in 1994. For women, the presence of either BRCA gene indicates increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Myriad Genetics discovered the genes and developed the test to determine whether patients have them. Myriad claims that their patent corresponds to the effort their scientists expended to find the genes, rather than the genes themselves. The Association for Medical Pathology and its supporters, on the other hand, argue that the genes themselves are being patented and that, because the genes are naturally occurring, Myriad did not create a new product deserving of a patent. Tom Taylor, assistant managing editor at Bloomberg BNA and US Law Week, explains the legal issues at hand, along with Harriet Washington, who examines the potential medical and bioethics consequences of this case.
