Elliot Kim, CEO of Checkbox, explores why online survey tools are now largely a solved problem—and why the real differentiator lies in the company behind the product. He explains how Checkbox is building a people-first, purpose-driven business focused on trust, transparency, and customer-centric policies. Elliot also discusses Checkbox's broad range of research use cases, and explains how its combination of cloud and on-premise deployment options gives organizations greater control over sensitive data and supports data sovereignty requirements. The conversation also examines the challenges of modern B2B research, from identifying “dark” prospects outside CRM systems through awareness and perception surveys, to reaching niche audiences with small sample sizes. Elliot shares how persistence, creativity, trusted research panels, and aligned incentives all play a role in driving honest, high-quality responses.   About Checkbox Checkbox is a research-grade survey platform trusted by enterprises and public-sector organizations since 2002. With both SaaS and self-hosted deployment options, Checkbox gives teams full control over their data while making it easy to design, distribute, and act on research at scale.   About Elliot Kim Elliot Kim is the CEO of Checkbox and an engineer at heart with two decades of building and scaling products.

In this episode, Raylene Whitford, Director of Canative Energy, and John Cook of Mackenzie Investments break down the legal and economic realities of Indigenous rights in Canada's energy sector.   From the Northern Gateway pipeline to the rise of First Nations-led LNG projects, we explore why consent is foundational, not a formality.

In this episode, Lex chats with Immad Akhund, CEO and founder of Mercury, a leading neobank for businesses. Immad shares his entrepreneurial journey, explaining how frustrating banking experiences inspired Mercury's creation. They discuss Banking as a Service, open banking, embedded finance, and core banking systems. Immad details Mercury's product philosophy, team structure, and migration away from Synapse before its collapse. He also outlines Mercury's impressive growth, with 300,000 customers, $650M in annual revenue, and three years of profitability. The conversation concludes with Mercury's future plans, including lending expansion, a bank charter application, and hopes for smarter AI-driven regulatory compliance. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS: Banking-as-a-Service Has Been Completely Restructured - and the Original Model Is Dead: The fintech BaaS layer that enabled the 2019–2021 neobank boom - middleware providers like Synapse, Unit, and Bond sitting between fintechs and partner banks - has effectively collapsed. The replacement model is banks themselves exposing modern APIs directly, with Column Bank and Lead Bank emerging as the new infrastructure layer. Mercury navigated this shift early, moving entirely off Synapse months before its April 2024 failure, but the broader lesson is that the hundred-program BaaS model broke under the weight of compliance and reconciliation complexity. Mercury's 40% Startup Market Share Is Just the Entry Point to a $2 Trillion Opportunity: Mercury captures over 35% of early-stage US startups, but broader SMB banking represents 30% of all banking revenue - a $2 trillion market. The company is now expanding into personal banking (launched December 2025), lending (bank charter application filed), and subscription software. Akhund frames Mercury not as a bank but as a financial operating system - the “Google suite of banking” - where deposits are the entry point to invoicing, bill pay, spend management, and eventually underwriting. Stablecoins Don't Magically Solve the Ledger Problem: Akhund pushes back on the narrative that stablecoins eliminate reconciliation risk. In practice, most stablecoin providers pool customer funds into shared wallets and run their own abstraction layers and internal ledgers - recreating the same reconciliation challenges that exist in traditional banking. The benefit only holds in the narrow case where users truly own their own keys and wallets, which is rarely how scaled fintech products operate.

Live from Legalweek 2026, David Cowen sits down with Evan Wong, co-founder and CEO of Checkbox, to unpack a problem most legal teams still haven't solved: legal has software, but it still doesn't have a true operating system. This episode gets into why intake remains broken, why legal ops is becoming one of the most important roles in the business of law, and why the next wave of AI value will come from embedding legal into the tools the business already uses. Hosted by David Cowen Key Topics Covered Why Evan built Checkbox to become the operating system for legal, not just another point solution The core problem Checkbox solves: legal intake is still messy, manual, and invisible across most organizations Why the first major champions of this category were legal ops leaders who understood legal as a business function How Checkbox evolved from a no-code workflow tool into a system of record and front door for legal Why the future of legal intake is not forms and ticketing systems, but AI embedded into email, Slack, Teams, Salesforce, and everyday workflows Evan's view that the GC is increasingly a wartime role, creating space for legal ops to evolve into a more strategic chief-level business function A hard truth about the market right now: the biggest challenge is not lack of tools, but too much noise, too many AI labels, and not enough clarity on what to implement first

In dieser Folge tauche ich tief in das Thema Technical Win ein – einen der wichtigsten, aber am wenigsten strukturiert gemessenen Meilensteine im B2B Softwarevertrieb. Ich erkläre, was ein Technical Win wirklich bedeutet, wie er sich vom Business Win unterscheidet und warum diese Unterscheidung essenziell für den Erfolg deines SE-Teams ist. Du erfährst, wie du den Technical Win sinnvoll definierst, sauber trackst und als Frühindikator für Umsatz und Forecast-Genauigkeit nutzt. Außerdem teile ich meine persönlichen Erfahrungen und kontroverse Standpunkte aus der Branche, damit du die Metrik nicht nur als Checkbox, sondern als echten Performance-Booster einsetzt. Höre rein und finde heraus, wie du den Technical Win als Sprungbrett zum Business Win nutzen kannst! ----------

If you think a risk analysis is just another box to check on the HIPAA compliance to-do list, this episode might feel a bit like a reality check… with receipts. Using a real OCR settlement involving a phishing attack and nearly 2,000 patients' data, this discussion digs into what regulators actually expect when they say "risk analysis." Spoiler alert: it's a lot more than running a quick scan and calling it a day. More info at HelpMeWithHIPAA.com/551

Security doesn't fail because you missed a tool, it fails because “secure today” tricks you into relaxing tomorrow. This episode exposes why the real fight isn't compliance… it's whether your defenses hold up once attackers hit you with machine-speed pressure. Ron sits down with Sonali Shah, CEO of Cobalt, to talk about how human-led, AI-powered penetration testing is evolving into full-spectrum offensive security. Sonali shares how Cobalt can start a test in 24 hours, push findings directly into Slack/Teams and Jira, and use learnings from 5,000+ pentests a year to continuously sharpen what gets caught. The big takeaway: automation finds the easy stuff as humans find the business-logic traps and attack chains that actually break companies. Impactful Moments 00:00 - Introduction 02:21- Sonali's unexpected CEO path 06:10 - Compliance isn't real security 10:19 - PTaaS: start in 24 hours 12:33- 5,000 pentests yearly scale 17:01 - Humans beat automation limits 20:16 - AI behavior vulnerabilities emerge 27:54 - Indirect prompt injection explained 30:51 - Why juniors + AI is risky 38:27 - 2026 becomes AI battleground Links Connect with Sonali on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonalinshah/ Check out Cobalt: https://www.cobalt.io   ____ Check out our upcoming events: https://www.hackervalley.com/livestreams Join our creative mastermind and stand out as a cybersecurity professional: https://www.patreon.com/hackervalleystudio Love Hacker Valley Studio?

Die CES 2026 ist vorbei, aber die eigentliche Arbeit beginnt jetzt. In dieser ersten von vier Episoden ordne ich die Show als Ganzes ein: Wer war da und wer auffällig nicht? Warum dominierten Tech-Giganten, Software-Ökosysteme, Zweiräder und Micromobility die Hallen, während klassische OEM-Schwergewichte fast komplett fehlten? Ich spreche über die spürbare Verschiebung der Automotive-Aussteller und darüber, was das für die Beziehung zwischen CES und Autoindustrie bedeutet. Dazu meine drei persönlichen Highlights, meine größten Enttäuschungen und den gruseligsten Moment der Messe. Zum Schluss geht's um das, worüber die CES kaum gesprochen hat: Ethik nicht als Checkbox, sondern als Designfrage. Kognitive Belastung, Skill Erosion, Vertrauen statt Abhängigkeit. CES 2026 zeigt, was möglich ist – aber selten, was sinnvoll ist.

Long before “diversity, equity, and inclusion” became the reigning orthodoxy of American institutions, I warned that the obsession with ethnic categorization would end not in justice, but in absurdity. The warning was simple and, at the time, widely dismissed: when a society replaces citizenship with identity checkboxes, it ceases to evaluate individuals as human beings and begins managing them as statistical assets. The result is not fairness, but a bureaucratic parody of it.I was told that these boxes were harmless. Necessary, even. That they were temporary correctives meant to level a historically uneven playing field. But systems have inertia, and incentives harden into norms. What begins as remediation ends as entitlement. Today, one can be biologically white, check the box marked “Black,” and face no meaningful scrutiny. Questioning the claim itself is treated as a moral offense. The system does not care about truth. It cares about compliance.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Oftentimes, organizations view training simply as another obligation; however, tailored and hands-on privacy and cybersecurity training are essential to safeguard data and ensure operations run smoothly in the event of a breach.

Why do whiskey drinkers chase after marketed checkboxes - like age statements, mash bills, or bottle rarity - that don't always guarantee quality, while overlooking great-tasting whiskey that may lack the same level of hype? Is the playbook always used? Are there products that break the cycle? What started as a casual conversation turned into today's episode: a deep dive into the psychology of the whiskey consumer, and whether a bottle can truly "walk the walk" without the constant buzz of online enthusiasts.

The primary focus of this podcast episode revolves around the distinction between a mere religious practice and a profound relationship with God. We delve into the challenges faced when transitioning from traditional religious obligations to a heartfelt connection with the divine. I share personal anecdotes reflecting on my journey of faith, particularly the pivotal moments that illuminated the importance of relying on God's grace rather than striving for self-improvement through a checklist of actions. The conversation also emphasizes the significance of being present with God in our daily lives, urging listeners to contemplate whether they are engaging in a genuine relationship or merely checking off religious boxes. Ultimately, we invite our audience to reflect on their own spiritual journeys, encouraging them to foster a deeper connection with God that transcends ritualistic practices.Takeaways: In preparing for this weekend's sermon, I undertook the challenge of covering four chapters of Daniel simultaneously, a significant departure from our usual pace of one chapter per week. As I delved into the sermon preparation process, I discovered that the outline and direction for my thoughts were divinely inspired, facilitating my understanding of the material. Throughout our discussion, we reflected on the complexities of balancing life and ministry, acknowledging the mental challenges that arise when juggling multiple responsibilities and commitments. We explored the notion that our relationship with God should transcend mere ritualistic practices, emphasizing the importance of genuine connection over checkbox-style adherence to religious duties.

We delve into the challenges faced when transitioning from traditional religious obligations to a heartfelt connection with the divine. I share personal anecdotes reflecting on my journey of faith, particularly the pivotal moments that illuminated the importance of relying on God's grace rather than striving for self-improvement through a checklist of actions. The conversation also emphasizes the significance of being present with God in our daily lives, urging listeners to contemplate whether they are engaging in a genuine relationship or merely checking off religious boxes. Ultimately, we invite our audience to reflect on their own spiritual journeys, encouraging them to foster a deeper connection with God that transcends ritualistic practices.Takeaways: In preparing for this weekend's sermon, I undertook the challenge of covering four chapters of Daniel simultaneously, a significant departure from our usual pace of one chapter per week. As I delved into the sermon preparation process, I discovered that the outline and direction for my thoughts were divinely inspired, facilitating my understanding of the material. Throughout our discussion, we reflected on the complexities of balancing life and ministry, acknowledging the mental challenges that arise when juggling multiple responsibilities and commitments. We explored the notion that our relationship with God should transcend mere ritualistic practices, emphasizing the importance of genuine connection over checkbox-style adherence to religious duties.

Enterprise Connect 2025 Podcast | Technology Reseller News Previously LIVE from Enterprise Connect 2025 “If you're relying on mobile triangulation, your 911 location could be half a mile off—meanwhile, your DoorDash order is on the doorstep,” says Robert Harris, President of Communications Advantage. Speaking at Enterprise Connect 2025, Harris and Melinda Sensabaugh, ENP, joined Doug Green to discuss the realities of enterprise 911 compliance—and why Next Generation 911 (NG911) is far more than a telecom upgrade. Sensabaugh, a certified Emergency Numbering Professional (ENP) and longtime consultant in public safety communications, outlined how legacy analog systems and selective routers limit the information public safety can receive. “Today's 911 still runs on technology designed for landlines,” said Sensabaugh. “NextGen 911 will run over IP networks, delivering location, device, video, even floor plans—getting the right information to the right PSAP faster.” For enterprises, complying with Kari's Law and the RAY BAUM's Act is more complex than just updating a phone system. Harris emphasized that ambiguous terms like “to the extent technically feasible” require interpretation. “Enterprises need expert help to translate regulatory language into action—whether that means mapping every wired port or accounting for Wi-Fi mobility,” he said. Both Sensabaugh and Harris have built their consulting practice around a holistic approach to 911—helping enterprises assess and update not just their phone systems, but their policies, safety planning, and PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) readiness. Their work includes consulting on legacy upgrades, educating IT and safety teams, and advocating for proactive compliance before tragedies expose gaps. “The bottom line,” said Sensabaugh, “is that 911 isn't just about technology. It's about protecting your employees and knowing that when they dial, help gets to the right place—fast.” To learn more, visit communicationsadvantage.com, or connect with Robert Lee Harris on LinkedIn. He also offers a white paper on integrating 911 compliance as a core worker safety discipline.  

" We hide and we think it's keeping us safe, but it's actually keeping us small. It's keeping us hidden in the shadows" -Ruth RathblottWhat are you hiding? And how is it holding you back?Ruth Rathblott returns to Diversity: Beyond the Checkbox to explore the concept of unhiding—the act of shedding the fears and societal pressures that make us conceal aspects of ourselves. Ruth shares her journey of embracing her own identity as a person with a limb difference, revealing how years of hiding held her back from true connection and fulfillment. Through her latest book, Unhide and Seek, and her thought-provoking Time Magazine op-ed, she continues to challenge organizations and individuals to rethink the way we approach inclusion and belonging.Learn More About Ruth RathblottOfficial Website: https://www.ruthrathblott.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruthrathblott/TEDx Talk – "Unhiding: The New Inclusion": https://www.ted.com/talks/ruth_rathblott_unhiding_the_new_inclusionBooks by Ruth RathblottSingle-Handedly: Learning to Unhide and Embrace Connection: https://www.ruthrathblott.com/singlehandedly-bookUnhide and Seek: Live Your Best Life, Do Your Best Work: https://www.ruthrathblott.com/unhide-and-seekInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/diversity_beyondthecheckbox/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/diversity-beyond-the-checkbox-podcast/Website: https://beyondthecheckbox.com/Hosted by Jackie Ferguson, award-winning business leader, best-selling author, and co-founder of The Diversity Movement.

In this episode, host Russel Lolacher tackles  the pervasive issue of "checked-box leadership" in leadership training — when organizations send employees to leadership programs without a strategic plan for continued growth. Education and professional development are vital, but without follow-up, support, and real opportunities to apply new skills, they become wasted efforts. We'll share stories like the HR professional who left a conference inspired but unsure how to implement her newfound knowledge back at the office. Join us as we outline actionable steps to move beyond ticking boxes, including providing ongoing coaching, setting measurable goals, fostering peer learning communities, and integrating leadership skills into performance evaluations. Let's explore how organizations and leaders can truly invest in their teams' development, turning initial training into a stepping stone for continuous growth.And connect with me for more great content!

In this episode, Tyler demonstrates some of VoiceOver's command customization capabilities on macOS.If you find a particular VoiceOver command difficult to perform, or discover a function in the Commands menu that doesn't have a default command, you can assign your own custom command to it. In addition, you can configure commands to open apps and run scripts, so you don't have to locate them manually.Commands can be configured by going to VoiceOver Utility > Commands, selecting the “Command set: user” radio button, and clicking “Custom commands edit.” For ease of navigation, you can choose the type of commands you want to view or change, such as numpad, trackpad, keyboard, etc from the "Filter commands" popup menu, or use the search field to locate a particular command.In this dialog, commands can be presented in either column view, which organizes commands into categories like general, information, and navigation, or table view, which displays a list of all VoiceOver commands, including user-configured ones, which you can navigate with the up and down arrow keys. To add a command, in column view, locate the command, interact with the table of assignments, and specify your new one using the "Add input" popup menu. To add a command when in table view, click the Add button, interact with the table, and specify the input assignment from the popup menu labeled "None: edited." Then, press VO-Right-Arrow passed an empty cell to another popup menu, and choose the command you want your new input assignment to perform.transcript:Disclaimer: This transcript is generated by AIKO, an automated transcription service.

In the wake of last year's Supreme Court decision to overturn affirmative action, certain media personalities and recalcitrant business leaders have falsely claimed that “DEI is dead.” This claim may very well be true for the businesses that were never serious about setting this work up to succeed.    Yet, for businesses that want to remain relevant for the workforce and customers of the future, many are doubling down on their commitment. In fact, 75% of HR leaders believe DEI interventions are a crucial strategy to prepare for the future of work, which may be why 60% are increasing their DEI investments in 2024.    While the demand for DEI interventions remains high, employers are seeking evidence and evaluation that these interventions are working. They want to know if the needle is moving in the direction of building healthier workplace cultures and diverse teams, which lead to better decisions, innovative ideas, business success, and even industry breakthroughs.    So how do we design and evaluate the effectiveness of our work? Given the volatile, uncertain, and complex times we are living through, it's first important to ask better questions, starting with what kind of interventions does this current moment demand, and how can we link those interventions to our organization's broader strategic goals?    Fortunately, McKensie Mack, founder of MMG Earth offers their insights on this episode of the Imagine Belonging Podcast. McKensie's company recently partnered with Catalyst, a global nonprofit designed to accelerate progress for women through workplace inclusion, to design the Virtue Economy survey to better understand how organizational leaders, DEI practitioners, and other change-makers continue to learn grow and evolve as they strive to build healthier workplace cultures in the face of systemic and political adversity.    https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/953FGN2   McKensie is a leading voice on power, politics, and pop culture in a global marketplace. A trilingual tech enthusiast, future economist, and award-winning entrepreneur from the Southside of Chicago, they are the Founder and CEO of MMG EARTH, the first Black and nonbinary-led research and change management firm in the U.S. and Boundary Work, a public service platform dedicated to raising collective awareness on boundaries and offering educational information for the betterment of culture, systems, and society.    This conversation is specifically designed to support organizational leaders, DEIB practitioners, HR professionals, and other people leaders seeking everyday actions they can take to better assess the kind of L&D required to support, grow, and nurture leaders to advance their DEI interventions to build healthier workplace cultures.    Together, we will: --Learn about the Virtue Economy and how it's influencing our workplace culture. --Strategies on how to assess the kind of L&D support org leaders and DEI professionals need. --Actions required to survey such a large group of professionals, and ways we can support. --Ways to leverage the MMG World & Catalyst report to ensure our DEI interventions succeed.   Savor this insightful talk, and if you're looking for more ways to connect with inspiring leaders like McKensie, be sure to join the Belonging Membership Community – a community of leaders, visionaries, and change-makers committed to advancing their DEI goals while practicing community care.
