Podcasts about Brandt

Real Salt Lake welcomed back Chicho Arango to The Riot after a less than ceremonial departure from the club in the offseason. RSL and San Jose seem to be heading in different directions. The Claret and Cobalt have turned the season around and with the win find themselves in a playoff position that did not seem possible in May. San Jose, even with all of their scoring talent and ability, have struggled on defense and have tumbled down and out of the a playoff spot. Brandt and Tyler share their thoughts on the RSL victory, the sloppy, sloppy, play from both sides, and their thoughts on the leagues cup and more.

He is also the Chief Risk Officer for the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (FRTIB). [4:15] Tom Brandt is here to discuss ERM and how it has been a guiding light throughout his risk career, which includes several years at the IRS. He recently participated in the RIMS ERM Q&A Series, and we're going to extend the dialogue beyond those digital pages, so let's get to it. [4:35] Interview! Tom Brandt, welcome to RIMScast! [4:42] At long last, Tom Brandt is here on RIMScast! Tom is one of the members of the Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council and one of the recipients of the 2024 ERM Award of Distinction. There's so much to discuss when it comes to ERM! Tom loves ERM. [5:18] Tom was also a 2021 ERM Award of Distinction recipient for his work at the IRS, where he worked for about 27 years, for the last eight of which, he was their Chief Risk Officer. There, he got into the whole ERM space. [5:38] Then, in late 2021, an opportunity opened at the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (FRTIB), and Tom took on the role of Chief Risk Officer. He enjoys the opportunity to work in a small organization with a different focus. [5:55] The FRTIB is sort of the 401(k) for federal employees and uniformed services. They have a singular mission around that plan. [6:13] Tom was brought into the FRTIB to integrate strategy and ERM. He stresses the importance of linking risk and strategy. When Tom started, the offices of Enterprise Planning and Enterprise Risk had just been brought together. [6:51] They were looking for the first Director of Planning and Risk/CRO. Tom applied and was selected for the role. Even though it's a small agency of 250, those functions had been siloed. [7:07] Tom's first area of focus was getting the staff to know each other and learn more about what each process entailed, and then working with the team to look at how to bring these processes together. [7:23] Tom says, when we're identifying risks and needing to mitigate risks, the next question is, where do we get the resources? When the process is not integrated into your planning and budgeting process, that becomes very challenging. [7:36] As we go through our annual planning process, we work with our business offices, and if they're risk owners, we talk about what risks they are managing or mitigating, and if there are related initiatives or resources needed. [7:51] That information gets captured in the annual plan and becomes an input to the budget process. We're not only raising the risks and talking about them, but also identifying initiatives and getting funding, support, and resources to manage and mitigate those risks. [8:16] Tom's risk group has seven or eight people. They also do internal controls, policies, and procedures. They are the agency's anti-fraud group. They do brand monitoring and run the third-party risk monitoring program. They do work beyond the enterprise risk component. [8:51] The FRTIB moved from a high-level to a medium-level cyber risk posture, which improved Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) scores. FISMA is an annual cybersecurity audit of federal organizations. [9:27] Years ago, the FRTIB was scoring in the 1s and 2s on most domains in this audit, out of a possible score of 5. That coincided with cybersecurity being one of the FRTIB's high risks. They needed to put in place better governance and protections. [9:53] Because cybersecurity had been one of the FRTIB's high risks, they require any of their enterprise risks that are medium high or higher to have a risk treatment plan. They work with their CISO and the cyber team to develop risk treatment plans each year. [10:08] The risk treatment plans identify resource needs and specific areas of focus. They use the FISMA domains, questions, and assessment criteria to keep in mind where they need to shore things up. [10:20] Justin clarifies that FISMA, the Federal Information Security Modernization Act, is a U.S. Federal law that requires federal agencies to develop a document and implement information security programs to protect government information. [10:36] Tom remarks that as a result of great work done by the CISO and the cyber team, the FRTIB scored a 5 in each domain on their 2024 FISMA audit. That moved the cybersecurity risk score down. It's still at a medium level because the threat landscape continues to evolve. [10:56] Threat actors are always out there, trying to stay one step ahead of you, so you have to stay on your game to get ahead of them. [11:15] The cyber threat is so significant that collectively, we all need to be working as hard as we can to maintain our defenses. Tom says the CISO community is working together to integrate the latest technology and developments and understand where the threat is. [11:49] The CISO community is staying on top of what's happening in the AI space to be able to share good practices across agencies and ensure that our posture government-wide is as strong as possible in detecting and preventing the cyber threat. [12:06] One of the strategic goals for FRTIB is the managed services model. Tom speaks about assessing and monitoring third-party and vendor risks in a way that's scalable and sustainable. [12:18] When Tom moved into his position, in December 2021, the agency was about six months away from implementing that managed services model for their record-keeping service. Record keeping is a huge part of the FRTIB's work. They have almost 7.5 million participants. [12:36] Managing participant transactions and keeping their information is a core responsibility for the agency. They were moving to a managed service model. [12:48] When you shift to that type of model, you don't give up accountability and responsibility for the program. You work with a provider. The Agency needed to look at what its mechanism for oversight was, to manage and understand third-party risk. [13:06] The Agency had some capabilities in place for vendor monitoring and supply chain risk management. Tom's area of focus was to build up the third-party risk management program. [13:18] Tom did a maturity assessment to compare what they were doing to good practices and look for opportunities to enhance their capabilities. He brought in some services from external providers to help with access to data about the performance of third-party services. [13:42] Quarterly, Tom reports to the FRTIB board on their top vendors, their overall operations, whether there are any risks he has concerns about, and if so, what is being done to address those risks. That has helped to put in place a strong third-party risk management program. [14:03] When Tom joined the FRTIB, his predecessor had already built a strong, mature ERM program. There was a repeatable process in place with a risk register and a risk profile. [14:22] The opportunity was in integrating risk with planning and looking at how to enhance the program and bring it to the next level of maturity and build out that third-party risk management monitoring capability.  [14:42] RIMS Events!

[16:37] Shortly after Tom won the 2021 ERM Award of Distinction, along with Melissa Reynard, for his work with the IRS, he left to go to the FRTIB. Tom talks about the switch. [16:57] Tom had a great career with the IRS. He had a range of different roles and responsibilities. For his last eight years with the IRS, he was the CRO. [17:23] Tom was ready to make a change. He learned about the opportunity at FRTIB to help them bring risk and strategy programs into one department. He was happy to be selected and see the value of having risk and strategy come together. [18:12] Tom was the second CRO at the IRS. In 2013, the IRS had a crisis, so they brought in a CRO from the GAO for about a year. Tom had been doing risk work in one of the business units of the IRS. He was chosen for the CRO position in 2014. [18:50] The IRS crisis in 2013 related to concerns about how the agency had been handling applications for tax-exempt status. It led to Congressional hearings and IRS leadership changes. [19:04] Before going to the FRTIB, Tom was contacted by a recruiter. Someone in the risk community knew of the position and suggested Tom for it. He's thankful he was contacted because it has turned out to be an excellent opportunity. [19:35] Through RIMS, Tom connects with public and private sector colleagues. He sees a lot of similarities. The public sector has been practicing ERM for just under a decade. [20:16] The most essential ingredient in ERM is leadership support. Tom has support at FRTIB from leadership and the Board. Without leadership support, ERM is a compliance exercise. If ERM is truly leveraged, it can add a lot of value. [20.42] Tom thinks we're seeing too many instances where organizations have not had robust risk programs and have had risk events that could have been prevented or had the impact lessened, had they had a risk program.  [21:02] Tom thinks the challenge in the public sector is that there isn't much room for government error. Anything that doesn't go according to plan tends to get attention. [21:22] That oversight creates an environment that tends to be more risk-averse. That's not the way we want to run our risk program, because we want to take advantage of the opportunity that risk prevents, but it's a factor of the environment we operate in. [21:44] Part of what led to the establishment of the IRS ERM program was the 2013 crisis and an after-event assessment of what went wrong. Bad news didn't make it to the top quickly enough. Information that leadership should have been made aware of didn't get there in time. [22:05] As a result, issues and problems were allowed to fester and go out of control. In the IRS, people took a lot of pride in fixing and solving their problems. Sometimes you don't have a lot of time to fix an issue before it goes sideways. [22:41] A real benefit from sharing information is that often you can find other parts of the organization that can help because they've experienced a similar type of issue. They might have additional resources. Ignoring or hiding the problem doesn't make it go away. [23:01] The key value of ERM is creating a culture where people are willing to speak up, information gets escalated quickly, and you're able to bring the right people and resources together to work collectively to manage and mitigate those risks. [23:15] At FRTIB, Tom focuses on creating an environment where people feel comfortable speaking about risk, where it's part of the regular way they operate. [23:32] Since starting in risk many years ago and working with his teams, Tom's approach has been doing risk with offices and not doing risk to offices. He wanted to meet them where they were, understand where they needed help, and nudge them, rather than drag them, along. [24:00] Tom says take time to understand the organization, the unique needs of each office, and work with them to help manage and mitigate a risk, versus trying to force something on them. [24:18] A Quick Plug! If you tuned in to the recent episode featuring James Lam, you will know he is hosting a new six-module workshop for us, the “RIMS-CRO Certificate in Advanced Enterprise Risk Management”.

Be sure to listen closely for the tips that he offers about what makes a strong nomination! [25:10] The link to the nomination form is in this episode's show notes. Good luck! [25:13] Let's Return to the Conclusion of My Interview with Tom Brandt! [25:18] Before becoming the CRO at the IRS, Tom was the Director of Planning and Research for the Large Business and International Division with responsibility for case selection, determining risk on corporate and international tax returns, and which ones should be selected for audit. [25:52] This was a compliance risk experience. That provided the stepping stone to take on a more strategic, operational view of risk within the division. When the broader CRO opportunity became available at the IRS, he was considered and ultimately selected for that position. [26:14] Tom's view of risk has evolved. Within a business unit, he focused on the day-to-day operational and compliance risk. He didn't take a view of the whole organization or what choices he made for his unit ight create risk for another part of the organization. [26:51] It's a real value for ERM to have a portfolio view of the most critical risks across the organization, and understanding how actions to address risks in one area could create or exacerbate a risk somewhere else. [27:08] Tom tells of reputational risk. Sometimes decisions don't factor in how they will be perceived. Tom helped people at the IRS understand reputational risk and the stakeholders they may need to engage to help them understand why particular decisions are made. [28:22] Tom shares advice for nominating an ERM Program for the ERM Award of Distinction. What are the results? What are the outcomes that the program accomplished that you can talk about? How did ERM help the organization? What value did it bring? [29:07] Take an example of something you can share, and explain how ERM was able to surface the risk and bring the right people together to help with that risk and help the organization. [29:24] It's critical to have letters of recommendation. At the IRS, Tom had two Deputy Commissioners write letters about what they saw as the value that ERM brought to the agency. [29:42] At FRTIB, Tom had letters from the Executive Director and a member of its Board, who had served for over a decade and had historical knowledge of how ERM had helped the Agency. [30:04] Tom notes that the process of going through the application is a great learning opportunity to reflect on accomplishments as well as areas of remaining opportunity. [30:17] If you are fortunate enough to be selected to receive recognition, it's a great way to recognize the team. Tom used the Awards to recognize his teams at the IRS and at FRTIB, who are the ones who make all of this possible. The recognition turns out to be great kudos for them. [30:41] You can learn more about Tom's achievements through the links on this episode's show notes, which feature his recent ERM Q&A from 2025. I've also included one with his former coworker from the IRS, Melissa Reynard, from 2022. [30:58] This should give you a great sense of not just the great work that Tom has done but also, what it takes to have your nomination seen and heard and get the recognition that you deserve. [31:13] Tom, it's been great getting to know you these past few years, and I look forward to seeing you in Seattle. Thank you for joining us here on RIMScast!

July 28, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 2 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the health of the Pittsburgh Steelers with four training camp practices now in the books for 2025. Alex and I discuss Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson still being on the roster through four training camp practices. (UPDATE: Patterson announced he was released by the Steelers right after the show wrapped up.) We discuss the Steelers adding veteran S Chuck Clark more in depth during this show and if that means the team will wind up keeping four safeties on their 53-man roster to start the 2025 regular season. The Steelers announced their 2025 Hall of Honor Class over the weekend, so Alex and I discuss this year's three new members, Joey Porter, Ben Roethlisberger, and Maurkice Pouncey. We also talk about Pouncey's chances of being voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame at a later date. The Miami Dolphins have now revamped the contract of new S Minkah Fitzpatrick since the Steelers traded him, so Alex and I go over the details of what that looks like. With Steelers T Broderick Jones being banged up now in training camp, Alex and I discuss his status this summer and the same with fellow starting T Troy Fautanu. We discuss T Dylan Cook getting extra reps at left tackle with the first and second team offense on Sunday. Kyle Brandt had two great interviews with Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers and HC Mike Tomlin on the NFL Network over the weekend, so we recap those during this show. We focus a lot on what all Rodgers had to say to Brandt and specifically what his rebuttal to the recent criticism he received from Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw of Fox Sports. We go over what Tomlin had to say about his long non-losing season streak. Later in this show, Alex and I look ahead to things we will be looking for once the Steelers resume training camp practices on Tuesday and how the team will begin donning pads this week. Alex and I then attempt to quickly recap a few notable things that a few other various Steelers players had to say since our last show. This 85-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap, and we make sure to answer a few listener questions at the very end. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Six years after the original “Quality of Life, Strip-Till & Fishing” episode, the crew sits down at the lake to reflect on farming, family, and lessons learned along the way. Ben, Brandt, and Sam discuss the importance of making time for family, how strip-till has evolved on their operation, the challenges of farming with family, and transitioning to the next generation. They also share insights on collaboration, mental health in agriculture, and why getting away from the farm is essential—all with a few good fishing stories mixed in.

Today on the Climbing Business Journal Podcast, host John Burgman meets with Jonathan Brandt. Jonathan is one of the co-founders of a new climbing gym in Holland, Michigan, called Shift. It's a 12,000-square-foot, bouldering-focused facility, and by Jonathan's own admission, there aren't a lot of bells and whistles in the gym, meaning there aren't a ton of fancy accouterments or amenities that are too far afield from climbing. Inside the space is primarily a bunch of really cool boulders and the community of staff and stoke that has developed around those blocks. Jonathan has been in or around the climbing industry for about 20 years. So, Shift's founding comes with a lot of expertise and experience. You'll hear Jonathan explain how and why he felt the timing was right now, after all these years, to finally open his own gym. And he acknowledges there are a ton of other bouldering gyms out there right now. So, the question becomes: How do you stand out in this day and age? How do you set your new gym apart from the pack? There are several ways to answer that question, but Jonathan's contention is that, in the case of Shift, it has a lot to do with the staff you hire and the culture that staff helps to build.

This could easily be the most over-caffeinated, under-medicated mountain bike podshow you'll ever subject your earholes to. Not a podcast—a “podshow”—because adding “show” makes everything about 17% more questionable. Welcome to Gnar Couch, where the only thing more inflated than our egos is our caffeine intake, and the only thing more shredded than our bikes are our self-images. Tonight, we brought in DJ Brandt—your favorite rider's favorite wildcard—just to see if we could make the art of the mountain bike interview as awkwardly sweaty and weird as possible. This week's podshow spiral dives helmet-first into three core themes: the existential crisis of being a professional freerider in an industry run by desk jockeys who think a “manual” is something you create in Word to guide marketing efforts, the painful evolution of mountain bike culture from “gnarly misfit circus” to “influencer hellscape,” and why the only thing more unstable than the bike industry is JP's and the Jerk Hand's digestive systems after six glizzies chased with six cups of gas station coffee. Sprinkle in debates about corporate buyouts, a discussion about how Pinkbike really was cool at one time, and our relentless need to grill and mother everyone within a 40-foot radius, and you've got yourself an audio experience that makes you wonder where the adult supervision went. So buckle up—preferably in your daily driver Corvette or whatever heap you wrench on to avoid facing your feelings. Whether you're here for the tales of bike park glory, the communal hate for TikTok “riders,” or just to hear DJ Brandt contemplate welding versus wildcarding, this podshow is the least productive thing you'll do with your day—and probably the best.

Brandt starts the show by talking about his recent game day teaching Merchant's Cove. Eric also taught Merchant's Cove at Dice Tower East. We review The DC Deck-Building Game: Justice League Dark, Inferno, Alpujaras, and Builders of Baldur's Gate before rolling the D12 of Fate, which results in us talking about Card Stock. Finally, we close the show with our Doubles Review of the latest Pandemic System game, Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship. 00:33 - Brandt's Game Day: Merchant's Cove 01:44 - Eric at Dice Tower East: 97th Play of Merchant of Venus 04:43 - DC Deck-Building Game: Justice League Dark 08:53 - Inferno 15:03 - Alpujarras 19:52 - Builders of Baldur's Gate 28:08 - The Big Roll: Card Stock 39:10 - Doubles Review: Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship ___ Check out our Sponsor: https://grandgamersguild.com Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/RightBrainRollers Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/groups/914270393090805 Discuss in our BGG forum: https://boardgamegeek.com/guild/4193

Episode Summary:This time on the Event Tech Podcast, Brandt and Will welcome industry veteran Matthew Byrne to unpack the pains and progress of event content management. Byrne introduces ShowSync, a new solution designed to streamline the collection, synchronization, and distribution of event content- eliminating versioning headaches, USB thumbdrive chaos, and other PPT nightmares. The episode explores the real-world challenges that inspired ShowSync, how it works across multiple production environments, and the future possibilities for integrating with other industry tools.Discussions Include:The origin story of ShowSync and the persistent problems it solves in event productionHow ShowSync manages real-time content syncing, version control, and secure uploads across multiple machines and locationsTechnical insights into hardware integration, cloud syncing, and InfoSec compliance for sensitive client dataThe roadmap for ShowSync, including potential integrations and expansion into new event and retail environmentsQuotable Quotes (Should you choose to share):"Essentially what it does is it seamlessly syncs all of content across production for events- and then on the back end leverages out the content that's created at an event in a much more cost effective and efficient way." - Matthew Byrne"If then on machine one, you delete slide one, every version number 29 in that package on every machine just starts to lose slide one. Like as fast as the 10 gigabit connection can make that happen." - Matthew Byrne"We always say that a live event is a content machine. If we can cut down the expense and time to be able to leverage that value out, I think that that solves a lot of problems." - Matthew Byrne"It's always nice when someone's able to go, 'how about we put it all together into one thing and make it go?' It's wonderful." - Brandt KruegerLearn more about ShowSync at https://byrneproductionservices.com/showsync/

The latest Better With Running podcast delves into the recent Gold Coast Marathon weekend, with co-host Zac Newman sharing his on-the-ground observations of the vibrant atmosphere, the massive number of participants exceeding 38,000 across all events.. Chris Armstrong, viewing from Melbourne, celebrated the impressive performances of Run2PB athletes, highlighting Andy Buchanan's win in the Hlaf and Matt Buckell's 10K victory, alongside an inspiring number of personal bests despite challenging conditions. Chris also provided an update on his own training, gradually building volume with 46K run last week, and preparing for a Cross Country hit out in Ballarat.The episode then features an anticipated interview with Liam Brandt, a returning guest, who recaps his remarkable sub-3-hour marathon debut at Gold Coast, finishing in 2:58:30. Beyond his personal achievement, Liam surpassed his fundraising goal for premature babies of $2000, raising over $5,500. He candidly discussed the challenges of the taper, admitting it was the hardest part of his preparation, and how putting his sub-3 goal public created pressure that motivated him through tough training sessions. Liam's race morning began smoothly, with surprisingly good sleep and a new breakfast routine featuring blueberry bagels.During the race, Liam meticulously stuck to his plan, relying on 5K splits and resisting the urge to push too hard early, frequently reminding himself and running partner Fraser Pope, "15 K's left of the warm up to go". He felt "very, very comfortable" up to the 30K mark, but the final 5K brought hamstring cramps, which he attributed post-race to a lack of sodium in his gels – a crucial lesson for future races. Crossing the finish line brought "instant relief" and "disbelief," as he grappled with the intense emotional weight of potential failure and the immense pride in justifying the time and effort invested.Looking ahead, Liam expressed that while he doesn't "absolutely love" the marathon race itself, he cherishes the training build-up and consistent progression. He plans to run the Gold Coast Marathon again next year, incorporating it into a family holiday, and aims to improve his 5K, 10K, and half marathon times. Liam concluded by thanking his wife Jess, coach James "Telf" Telford for his calming support, and running partner Fraser Pope for his invaluable guidance during the race, which he believes was critical to his success.With thanks to Oat Running Socks our partner, visit ⁠www.oatrunning.com.au⁠Run2PB Links:Socials Run2PB YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJxkh-FgU2Wsork-18PfSUA⁠Find us here at: https://www.run2pb.co/better-with-running-podcastReview on us: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/better-with-running/id1506419354⁠

In this powerful and faith-filled episode, I'm joined once again by the legendary Monica Brandt, someone I've admired for decades in the fitness world, but who's now become my cherished sister in Christ and go-to prayer warrior. We get real about how faith can radically transform your healing journey, whether you're facing a major health crisis like cancer or navigating the daily battles of hormone imbalances and thyroid conditions. We go deep into why mindset alone isn't enough, and how, when you dig into scripture and actually bring your requests before the Lord, true healing and peace can follow, even if the process doesn't look like what you expected. Monica and I discuss everything from breaking free of the “why me, God?” narrative to why praying for yourself is not prideful, but necessary. She shares her personal Bible study in a weighted vest routine, and we unpack practical ways to anchor your daily life and health in faith, gratitude, and scripture. Plus, I'm opening up about my own journey through thyroid disease and cancer, and why even the hardest moments can be divine gifts leading to deeper purpose. WHAT DO MY LABS MEAN?!

Episode Summary:This episode of the Event Tech Podcast explores the real-world performance of OpenAI's Operator, the agentic AI tool that promises to automate browser tasks on your behalf. Will shares his hands-on experience running Operator through its paces—from sending personalized Twitch messages to attempting LinkedIn research and even trying to buy festival tickets. Brandt and Will dissect what works, what doesn't, and why Operator currently feels less like a job-stealing super-agent and more like a well-meaning, but exasperating, digital intern. The conversation also touches on the future of agentic AI, the importance of user data, and the quirks of modern AI assistants.Discussions Include:What “agentic AI” actually means and how Operator fits the billReal-world Operator use cases: Twitch messaging, LinkedIn research, and online purchasesThe current limitations, quirks, and slowdowns of agentic AI toolsBroader implications for the future of work and the data arms race among tech giantsQuotable Quotes (Should you choose to share):"Once again, Will's taking the hit so that we don't have to, right? He's letting us know that it's not there yet." - Brandt Krueger"I think we're potentially in this world where I do think agents are starting to do things that we never would have comprehended." - Will Curran"It's like a really, really dumb intern. You show someone a task once and at least they get it, right? But this thing constantly forgets." - Will Curran"The tasks that you've given it are very close to the examples we gave when we first started talking about operator and agentic AI. It doesn't sound like it can do that yet." - Brandt Krueger

Dr. Stefan Brandt is the Director of Futurium in Berlin, a hybrid museum experience and public platform dedicated to exploring the future. With a background in literature, philosophy, cultural studies — and a lifelong interest in music — Dr. Brandt has worked at the intersection of culture, science and civic life. Before leading Futurium, he held senior roles at major cultural institutions across Germany, where he championed interdisciplinary thinking and public engagement. He says it's always been his intention to make a change, to improve the institutions he leads and, more broadly, to contribute to a better society. At Futurium, that mission continues: creating a space where people are invited to learn about the future and how they can help shape it. Futurium isn't a traditional museum, it doesn't have a permanent collection or fixed exhibitions. Instead, it operates as a dynamic, evolving space designed to spark curiosity and conversation about the future. Dr. Brandt describes this absence of static artifacts as both a freedom and a challenge: it allows Futurium to be more agile and responsive, but it also requires continual reinvention. At its core is a question posed to every visitor: “How do I want to live?” To help people grapple with that question, Futurium presents ideas and scenarios grounded in science, media trends and public discourse. Each major theme — like the future of housing, health, nutrition, or democracy — is developed over time through in-depth research and collaboration with experts. Rather than offering definitive answers, Futurium encourages people to imagine and help shape a sustainable, participatory future. In this Chatter Marks series, Cody and co-host Dr. Sandro Debono talk to museum directors and knowledge holders about what museums around the world are doing to adapt and react to climate change. Dr. Debono is a museum thinker from the Mediterranean island of Malta. He works with museums to help them strategize around possible futures.

Es war einer der folgenschwersten Anschläge auf die Weimarer Republik: Am 24. Juni 1922 wurde der deutsche Außenminister Walther Rathenau von Mitgliedern der rechtsradikalen Organisation Consul in Berlin ermordet. Die Attentäter flüchteten und wurden erst Wochen später in Thüringen aufgespürt. Beim Zugriff starb einer von ihnen durch eine Polizeikugel, einer durch Suizid, die anderen wurden im Herbst 22 vor dem Staatsgerichtshof zu eher moderaten Haftstrafen verurteilt. Deutlich weniger öffentliches Interesse als dieser Hauptprozess zog zweieinhalb Jahre später ein weiteres Verfahren gegen zwei Helfer auf sich. Einen größeren Bericht fanden wir lediglich im sozialdemokratischen Hamburger Echo vom 29. Juni 1925, der sich über das Strafmaß (Freispruch bzw. vier Jahre Haft) gegen die beiden Angeklagten und die Argumentation der Richter in blanke Ironie flüchtet. Beinahe unnötig zu ergänzen, dass auch der verurteilte Günther Brandt nur einen Bruchteil der Strafe tatsächlich absitzen musste. Später im NS-Staat machte er Karriere u.a. im Rassenpolitischen Amt der NSDAP sowie beim Sicherheitsdienst des Reichsführers SS, nach dem Krieg praktizierte er als Facharzt für Innere Medizin. Es liest Frank Riede.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHSo Benji is out in the literal field. He's watching this plane that is about to take off. And here's what you need to know - the package is on that plane. He's doing this mission with Brandt who is back at HQ. Luther pipes in cuz I guess he can help now and he makes it to where Benji can access the plane remotely. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Ethan comes running through the field and tells Benji to open the door. Once Benji figures out which door he means, he finds these canisters holding nerve gas and pushes them out the back. THEME SONG TIME!  Some time later, Ethan walks into a record store where he uses some coded language to get a vinyl which will show him his next mission. While the message is playing, it is revealed that the message is from The Syndicate which is a group Ethan has been tracking for a year. They tell him that if he continues to go after them, he will die. He looks out and sees a dude in glasses who kills the women who gave him the record as gas causes Ethan to go unconcious.  Cut to a senate meeting with Brandt and  CIA director Alan Hunley. They demand that the IMF be disbanded due to the events that happened in Russia.  We see that Ethan is being held hostage. A women comes in, takes off her shoes, and just kinda stares at him for a while. Then some baddies come in, one of which is known as the Bone Doctor. Just as he's about to do his thing, he is freed by the women. She's Ilsa Faust, an undercover British MI6 agent. But she doesn't leave with him. She convinces them that she was trying to help them as he escaped.  He calls Brandt for help but he says the IMF have been shut down. Ethan now knows he's on his own and that the CIA is going to be looking for him.  6 months later, we see Ethan in a room, He's got a very real beard. And he's just doing some pull ups. The CIA thinks they found him but Ethan is always one step ahead. Ethan is watching them with the finest Nokia cell phone. And CIA Director Hunley is not pleased. He brings Benji in for a polygraph test but Benji insists that he doens't owe Ethan anything and that they aren't friends. When Benji returns to his desk, he has two tickets to the Vienna opera. So he heads to Austria and he is immediately handed a envelope. Inside are some glasses that allow him and Ethan to communicate. Ethan catches him up to speed.  He believe that Lane is going to be at the Opera. Who is Lane? He is the glasses dude that Ethan suspects is the Syndicate's leader. Benji and Ethan discover that the opera is being attended by the Austrian Chancellor which does throw a wrench in the plan. Benji is watching the cameras and sees the potential assassin. Ethan also notices a woman moving around the backstage.  Ethan catches up with the assassin and they fight, but then Ethan notices a 3rd assassin moving into position. There's a lot of assassin's at the opera tonight.   He takes the gun of the first assassin and shoots the Chancellor in the shoulder to save his life. Benji attacks the 3rd shooter in the lighting booth, and the women, who turns out to be Ilsa from the beginning shoots that baddie to save Benji.  Ethan finds Ilsa and they escape in time to see the Chancellor's car explode. Hunt helps Ilsa escape the opera. Ilsa jumps out of Ethan's car to make it look like an escape and then is taken to Lane. It appears she's working with him when he questions her loyalty for letting Ethan escape twice.  Ethan figures out that Ilsa is going to Moracco, so he goes to meet up with her and she tells him what she knows - that the baddie is Soloman Lane who used to be British Intellegence and went rogue and started the Syndicate. She claims that Lane kept a ledger of all his operatives which was stolen by one of his operatives and placed in a secure server here in Moracco. The secure server can only be accessed if your profile is already preloaded into the security system that is housed under water. So Ethan dives in and it doesn't exactly go according to plan. He does swap out the security profile but isn't able to escape before running out of oxygen. So Ilsa jumps in and saves him. But then proceeds to take the flash drive with the ledger on it to take to her British intelligence boss who says this isn't good enough. She needs to go back to Lane so that he can confirm that thats the real ledger. So she shows back up to Lane but the flash drive has been wiped clean.  We catch up with Benji and Ethan who are found by Luther and Brandt. Turns out, Benji made a copy of the flash drive and it turns out it contains an encrypted British government virtual red box that requires the biometrics of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to unlock it.  They all travel to London, but Lane's men abduct Benji during the team's meeting and use him to blackmail Ethan into decrypting and delivering the data to him. Despite Brandt's protests, Ethan accepts the mission. Hunley is informed by Brandt to come to London. He shows up to a meeting with Brandt and the Prime Minister. Atlee is also there and has the Prime Minister confirm that the Syndicate is real which is a suprise to Hunley. Atlee then shoots the prime minister with a dart and reveals that Atlee is actually Ethan in a mask. The real Atlee shows up and confirms that he started the Syndicate to recruit former intelligence agents and perform missions without oversight and zero accountability but Lane went rogue. Hunley is like oh my bad. I done goofed.  Ethan and Brandt secure the Prime Minister's biometrics, allowing Luther to decrypt the file. When decrypting the file, it is revealed that the red box actually contains access to £2.4 billion to do with what The Syndicate saw fit.  Ethan destroys the data after deducing that Lane plans to fund The Syndicate with the money. Arriving at the meeting place arranged by Lane, Ethan finds Benji strapped to a bomb and wearing a headset and contact lens camera to serve as Lane's proxy alongside Faust. Ethan tells Lane that he has memorized the data and offers himself in exchange for Benji's safety. Benji escapes after Lane remotely disarms the bomb and Ilsa and Ethan run through the city when the Bone Doctor and his boys show back up.  Ilsa makes the Bone Doctor follow her and she kills him. And Ethan draws Lane out, who has now joined the chase, and lures him into a tunnel system where he ends up in a transparent bulletproof cell where he is gassed, like he did to Ethan at the beginning of the film and taken into custody. Hunley goes to speak to the Senate again and claims that their previous meeting served as a cover to help Ethan expose and shut down The Syndicate and he's now requesting the IMF be reinstated.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe movie kicks off with an IMF agent running on a roof, shooting back at people. He jumps off and lands on a inflatable and somehow doesn't stick around to jump on it. He spots his target but it's too late - she shoots him first. Tough break. Cut to Ethan Hunt. He's in a Moscow prison. Suddenly, Dean Martin begins to play over the loud speaker and his cell is unlocked. It's all Benji. He's outside in a truck watching on the camera. For some reason, Ethan doesn't go through the next open door. Instead, he goes to free someone and take him with him and Benji and very confused. But it works. They get to the room, the floor explodes and they escape.  Ethan knew that dude was his informer would be tortured and killed, so he rescued him and granted him his freedom. Jane is new and she tells Ethan that guy at the beginning of the movie was Agent Hanaway and he was killed while intercepting a routine courier drop. The courier was carrying Russian nuclear launch codes & these were now in the hands of the assassin that killed him. Hunt knows that IMF has been looking for an extremist, code name Cobalt. Cobalt is known to have a nuclear device and with the theft of the launch codes, his identity is now top priority for the IMF.  Cobalt was a nuclear strategist for Russian intelligence. So Ethan has to go to Russia to break into the secret Kremlin archives and locate files identifying Cobalt. Easy right? Well apparently Cobalt is already on his way to the Kremlin, which gives Ethan 5 hours to complete his mission. This mission is going great but when he gets to the archives, he finds out that what he needs is already missing. Then someone taps into the IMF frequency and their cover is blown. So Ethan aborts the mission. Suddenly, a bomb destroys the Kremlin which knocks Ethan out and he awkes up in a Russian hospital. He finds out that he is now a wanted man, so he has to escape.  The IMF picks Ethan up and catch him up to speed but their vehicle is attacked. One dude dies but another dude named William Brandt survives with Ethan. He finds out that the Russians have called the attack an undeclared act of war and the US president activates "Ghost Protocol",  which disavows the entire IMF.  Based on Ethan's description of who he saw in the Kremlin with a briefcase, they identifies Cobalt as Kurt Hendricks. They believe Hendricks bombed the Kremlin and got the Russian nuclear launch-control device, and now needs its codes from the Dubai. So off to Dubai they go! Ethan has to hack the server room. Obviously the only way to do that is from the outside with him using these special gloves hundreds of stories in the air. The plan is to make Wistrom, who is there on Hendricks behalf, believe he is getting the real codes, which are actually from Ethan and Brandt who are with the actual real codes in another room acting like they're the buyers. It's a whole thing. The plan is going great until the code women realizes that Brandt is taking pictures with his eyes. Wistom is getting away, so Ethan chases him into a sand storm. Turns out, Wistom is just Hendricks in a mask and he gets away! This is bad news.  The team is all mad at each other. Hendricks got away and Jane accidentally kicked the seller out of a window. Whoops. It's at this point that Ethan accuses Brandt of keeping secrets from them because his fighting skills show that he's not just an analyst. Brandt admits he used to be an agent on the field. He was actually security detail to Ethan and his wife Julia. Julia was killed by a Serbian hit squad, prompting Ethan to pursue and kill them before he was caught by the Russians and sent to prison, where he was at the beginning of the movie. Brandt blames himself and never wanted to be out on the field again.  They get word on where Henricks is going to be next. So off to Mumbai they go. They go to a party being thrown by Indian telecommunications guru. They believe he has struck a deal with Henricks and that he's going to use his sattelite. So Brandt breaks into the server room to take the satellite offline while Jane gets hot shot tech guy to reveal the satellite override code.  But Hendricks takes the servers offline before they can finish the plan. He fires a nuclear missile on San Francisco from a Russian submarine which would look like retaliation for the Kremlim bombing. The only way to stop the missile is via the abort sequence on the launch device that Hendricks is carrying. Hunt pursues Hendricks and the launch device while the other team-members attempt to bring the broadcast station back online so that the abort command will transmit. Hunt and Hendricks fight over the launch-control and he's able to hit the button and the power turns back on with 1 second to spare. No Nuclear war today! Plus, the IMF is proved innocent.  The team comes together to celebrate and he gives them all a new mission. Brandt refuses at first until Ethan explains that Julia isn't actually dead, it was all a cover, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Off to the next mission they go.
