Anky Cyriaque, a filmmaker originally from Haiti who grew up in New York, brings a unique perspective to the cinema industry, deeply rooted in his belief that storytelling reigns supreme. Influenced by early childhood experiences with American TV shows like Sesame Street, Cyriaque emphasizes that "story is king," a philosophy he upholds in his directorial pursuits. He expresses concern over the cinema industry's current trajectory, where financial considerations often overshadow the narrative, diminishing the traditional theatrical experience and leading to what he views as a decline in storytelling quality. Cyriaque also critiques the rapid shift from theatrical releases to video on demand, arguing that this quick transition erodes the value of the cinematic experience, urging a return to prioritizing engaging narratives that captivate audiences.(00:02:45) Short Films: Directors' Personal Storytelling Investments(00:05:57) Film Influence on Career Paths(00:10:23) "Showcasing Director's Storytelling Skills Through Shorts"(00:19:11) Streaming Services' Influence on Independent Filmmakers' Visibility(00:29:34) Dynamic Landscape of Modern Visual Narratives(00:34:52) Media Consumption Shift: Streaming vs. Physical Ownership(00:44:02) Influencer-Driven Marketing in Movie Promotion(00:47:01) Evolution of Independent Film Distribution Strategies(00:52:19) Spielberg's Influence on Film Appreciationhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm3977697/

The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
This episode originally aired on April 5, 2021 (Episode 240), and I'm bringing it back because so many of you said it gave you the clarity you didn't know you needed. If you're feeling stuck in your career or wondering whether there's something more fulfilling out there for you, this conversation is worth revisiting. So many people come to me at a professional crossroads. On paper, things look fine — good job, steady paycheck — but inside, they're wrestling with harder questions: Is this what I'm meant to be doing? Where's the meaning? And what would it actually look like to feel passionate about my work? Finding your passion isn't about flipping a switch. It's about understanding how you got here, untangling what's yours from what you were told to want, and designing a career that aligns with who you are now. In this episode, we're talking about how to get unstuck, how to reflect with purpose, and how to move forward, even when it feels like there are a thousand possible directions and no clear right answer. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Getting Unstuck When You Have Too Many Options 05:12 Career Crossroads: How to Navigate Paralysis and Indecision 11:08 Life Design vs. Job Search: Shifting How We Think About Career 18:39 Finding Your Passion by Reflecting on the Past 27:26 The “Quarter-Life” Crossroads: Making Sense of How You Got Here 30:12 Burnout or Misalignment? How to Tell the Difference 34:45 The 10-Year Vision Exercise That Brings Long-Term Clarity 36:44 Why Big Career Decisions Shouldn't Happen During Burnout We cover how early life influences, past roles, and even burnout shape your career path, often without you realizing it. And we'll help you figure out whether you need a new job or a new perspective on the one you already have. What if you stopped pushing through and started getting curious? What would it feel like to move toward a career that fits you, not just the version of you who started years ago? If you're feeling ready to find your passion and design a career that actually fits, I'd love to support you as you start taking clear, doable steps. Through my Career Clarity Intensive, you can have clarity and confidence about the right next step for you, how to grow professionally and attain what you really want, and actualize the fullness of your potential in your career! The first step: join me for a free coaching call to design your next chapter. Here's the link to register. And if you want to keep this conversation going beyond the podcast, come find me on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube. I'm always sharing tools and insights to help you build a life and career that reflect your values and your worth. And if something from this episode sparked something for you, I'd love to hear how you're making sense of your path. Let's talk! xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie BobbyGrowing Self

This week, in episode 266, David C. Barnett, Jay Goltz, and Kate Morgan wrestle with one of the trickiest challenges for business owners: how to give employees room to grow without losing sight of the company's mission. David points out that every business is on its way to obsolescence unless it deliberately evolves—and one way to do that, he says, is by letting employees experiment and try new things. That approach, Jay says, is exactly what led to his building a furniture business. Plus: Kate and Jay agree that while many aspects of running a business can be stressful, nothing has been more stressful for them than the period when their businesses were growing the fastest. And the owners react to a Reddit post from someone who has found that hiring employees has created more problems than it has solved. “Is this just what having employees is like?” the owner writes. “Please tell me I'm not the only one losing my mind.”

Drawing on their personal journeys, they reflect on the persistence of gender stereotypes, the experience of imposter syndrome, and the importance of building confidence through knowledge, hard work, and supportive networks.Their conversation emphasises that leadership is not about following a rigid master plan but about vision, long-term investment, and trust in one's capabilities. Both speakers highlight the transformative role of mentorship and sponsorship, the value of inclusive groups in attracting more women into urology, and the importance of respecting individuality rather than conforming to stereotypes. Practical advice for young urologists includes taking small steps, embracing networking opportunities, and being unafraid to volunteer or step outside of one's comfort zone.For more EAU podcasts, please go to your favourite podcast app and subscribe to our podcast channel for regular updates: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, EAU YouTube channel.

When host Jenny Dempsey got laid off back in 2022, she had no clue what I was doing. She was crying on her couch, trying to figure out who she even was without my job. No one hands you a guide for that kind of loss. It honestly felt like the ground fell out from under her.And then along comes Steve Jaffe. Turns out, he literally wrote the book I wish I had back then: The Layoff Journey: From Dismissal to Discovery.Steve's been through four layoffs (yes, four!) and instead of letting it crush him, he mapped out the stages of grief that come with job loss. Reading his book brought up so many of my own memories, everything from the shock and shame to that messy process of rebuilding your identity. It made me cry, it gave me hope, and it reminded me I'm not alone.In this conversation with Steve, we talk about:Why losing a job takes you through the grieving process.The awkward shame we carry after a layoff, and how to drop it.Why slowing down to process before jumping into the job hunt can change everythingThe “baggage” you might unknowingly carry into your next role.And what you need to hear if you just got laid off yesterday.This one hit so close to home for me, and if you've ever been laid off, or even just wondered who you are without your job, I think it'll resonate with you too.Connect with SteveGrab Steve's book The Layoff Journey on Amazon: The Layoff JourneyLearn more at: thestevejaffe.comFollow Steve on Instagram: @stevejaffethelayoffjourneyConnect with Steve on LinkedIn: Steve Jaffe on LinkedIn Thanks for tuning in to The Career Flipper!If this episode made you think, laugh, or feel a little braver about your own flip, do me a favor:
Summary In this episode of Chattinn Cyber, Marc Schein is chattin' with Devon Ackerman, a highly respected figure in the digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) community. Devon shares his background, starting from his upbringing in upstate New York, moving to Georgia, and how a chance encounter with an article about digital forensics at Champlain College sparked his interest in the field. He explains his early career in IT and web design during the dot-com boom, and how his curiosity and passion for troubleshooting led him to pursue digital forensics as a career. Devon elaborates on the core concepts of digital forensics and incident response, describing digital forensics as the scientific discipline of preserving, validating, and interpreting digital data, often for legal purposes. Incident response builds on this foundation by focusing on reacting to cyber incidents, preserving evidence, and supporting organizations during and after attacks. He recounts his FBI career, highlighting a significant case involving espionage where a trusted insider stole sensitive data for a foreign government, demonstrating the real-world impact and importance of DFIR work. The conversation shifts to emerging cyber threats and the evolving landscape of cyber risk. Devon emphasizes that threat actors are highly motivated, whether financially or politically, and continuously adapt to stay ahead of defenders. He discusses the widespread availability of offensive cyber capabilities among nation-states and criminal groups, and how geopolitical tensions can influence cyber activity. The discussion also touches on the role of AI in cybersecurity, acknowledging its potential benefits but warning about risks related to rapid adoption without adequate security controls. Devon addresses the insider threat, distinguishing between malicious insiders and those who pose risks unintentionally through mistakes or misconfigurations. He stresses that human factors remain a critical vulnerability in cybersecurity, as trusted employees can inadvertently expose sensitive data. He offers advice for newcomers to the DFIR field, encouraging a mindset of continuous learning, experimentation, and resilience in the face of failure, noting the complexity and ever-changing nature of digital forensics. Finally, Devon describes his current role at Cybereason, a cybersecurity company known for its endpoint detection and response technology. He explains how Cybereason has expanded its services to include both proactive advisory and reactive incident response capabilities, supporting clients globally across the entire cyber risk lifecycle. He provides contact information for listeners interested in learning more or engaging their services, and the episode concludes with Marc thanking Devon for sharing his insights and experiences. Key Points 1. Career Path to Digital Forensics: Devon's journey from IT and web design to becoming a leading expert in digital forensics and incident response, sparked by early exposure to the field and a passion for troubleshooting. 2. Definition and Scope of DFIR: Explanation of digital forensics as a scientific discipline and incident response as the reactive process to cyber incidents, including their importance in legal and investigative contexts. 3. Notable FBI Case: A detailed recount of a high-profile espionage investigation involving insider theft of sensitive data, illustrating the practical application and impact of DFIR work. 4. Evolving Cyber Threat Landscape: Discussion on the motivations and capabilities of threat actors, the proliferation of offensive cyber tools among nation-states and criminals, and the influence of geopolitical factors. 5.

Today, I am interviewing someone I look up to in business, Kym Insana. As you will hear, Kym not only is a wife and mom to 4 boys (wow, I know!), but she has also built a very successful marketing media execution business. Kym's mantra is “You can work hard, have career success, and the family life you desire.” As soon as I heard that, I was like, “Tell me more, Kym!” Who doesn't want to have career success and the personal lives we desire?During today's podcast, Kym and I chatted about: Why Kym decided to build her multi-million-dollar business, AlwaysOn Digital.Why Kym is passionate about working parents.Kym's advice for women who want a high-powered career and life.How Kym manages her teams – both in-person and remote.Digital marketing and media, of course! I had to talk about this since I am also a marketing nerd.And more!Here is more about Kym:Kym Insana is a multimillion-dollar business owner, digital marketing expert, wife, and mother of four boys. As the founder of AlwaysOn Digital, she helps leading brands reach the masses through dynamic digital campaigns that generate consumer interaction and sales so they can scale. Top brands lean on Kym's expertise, including the US Air Force, American, Enfamil, the Texas Rangers, and Johnston and Murphy.Kym jumped into the digital marketing world before it became part of the modern fabric for business growth. For more than 20 years, she's led sales and digital campaigns for top advertising agencies in New York City. But dealing with a two-hour commute while growing her family proved to be a turning point. She felt compelled to start a business and gain her time back. The yearning for freedom quickly outweighed the desire for a corporate career.At the same time, Kym noticed other successful women quitting the workforce for similar reasons. That prompted her to ask herself, ‘What if I could build a business that fit these talented women and their ideal work schedules — while still providing them with a career?'In 2016, AlwaysOn Digital was born.
