“Welcome your enemy, welcome the darkness. Let everybody come and sit with you at the table. Welcome with open arms, with love, with light. …That is when everything dissolves, and you are free.” – Tamsyn Strydom Before discovering the Hoffman Process, Tamsyn Strydom shares that her life had “quietly begun to shut down.” She felt overwhelmed, facing unexplained health challenges and struggling to get out of bed after relocating to a new country. Coming to the Process with a Hoffman scholarship and a quiet, desperate urgency to heal, Tamsyn felt hope. She knew that doing the Process would mark a profound turning point in her life. At the Process, Tamsyn gave it her all. She met all parts of herself, the light and the dark. She faced everything with a willingness to change. Tamsyn left feeling incredible. Yet it only took a week back home for her to fall back into the darker patterns that had brought her to Hoffman in the first place. Once home, Tamsyn had shared with others how good she felt. Now, she felt shame that the patterns had returned. Rather than saying anything to anyone, she began to isolate. This is when she found a profound willingness within. With nowhere to run to, nowhere else to go, she had to surrender again as she’d done at the Process. Now, she had to do it on her own. It was time to sit with the darkness, time to come to know and love herself deeply. Listen in to hear how Tamsyn made her way through this challenge and into her new life. She credits the Hoffman Process as a pivotal catalyst that helped her reclaim her capacity, deepen her self-trust, and step fully into this next chapter of her life. Content Warning: This episode references disordered eating. Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Tamsyn Strydom: Tamsyn is the founder of Radiant Growth and Khanyisa Institute, and the co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Lo Sono Integrative Health.

She partners with physicians and clinical teams, serving as the bridge between patients and providers to integrate the often-missing “healing from within” dimension alongside medical care. Tamsyn – Cape Town, South Africa A keynote speaker and leadership performance expert, Tamsyn Strydom helps high-performing founders and leaders elevate business results, performance, and health. Most leaders try to think their way through burnout, culture issues, and performance gaps. But real change starts on the inside. Tamsyn works with those who appear successful on the outside but feel disconnected, reactive, or stretched thin behind the scenes. She equips them to rebuild self-trust, emotional resilience, and clarity so they can lead more effectively and create real impact without burning out. Personally trained and certified within Dr. Joe Dispenza's authorized practitioner network, this is one of several dimensions that inform her approach. Originally from South Africa, Tamsyn is building a life in the U.S. that feels like a story worth telling. A story of new countries, getting intentionally lost in new cities, and deep talks at 1 AM about purpose, passion, and why we're really here. Learn more at TamsynStrydom.com. Follow Tamsyn on Facebook and Instagram. As mentioned in this episode: Willingness:  Willingness is a concept and a corresponding skill that supports healing. When we are willing, we choose to be and engage with what we are experiencing. We don’t have to like it. We don’t have to believe that what is here is okay or even good. It’s the choice we make to be right here, right now, with everything just as it is, even if it means feeling pain or discomfort. Our instinct might be to pull away, yet we can develop the skill of willingness. Self-compassion: “I define self-compassion as the ability (and practice) of holding myself amidst failure, disappointment, and suffering of any kind, and in the face of these life contractions, to still be able to offer myself love and kindness. …It is the practice of loving ourselves out of shame and into wholeness – the place where we can connect to and embody our own capacity for radical self-love.” Jasin Deegan (Read the full quote here.)

"Your Customers Aren't as Loyal as You Think They Are - The Fragile Nature of Loyalty"A CMO Confidential Interview with Nicolas Chidiac, Chief Strategy Officer of Razorfish, formerly Chief Strategy Officer of Rokkan and EVP/Head of Planning at Leo Burnett. Nic discusses why brands often overestimate consumer loyalty, why repeat purchase trends can be misleading, and the dramatic increase in speed and velocity of competition. Key discussion topics include: why it has never been easier to try a new product; how influencers have "democratized celebrity endorsement;" why marketers should focus on "removing relative friction;" and how to measure your loyalty deficit. Tune in to hear stories about White Lotus, Chewy, Dubai Chocolate and Pop Tarts. Your customers aren't as loyal as you think. Razorfish Chief Strategy Officer Nic Chidiac joins Mike Linton to unpack groundbreaking research revealing the fragile nature of brand loyalty — and why most marketers are dangerously overconfident about it.65% of marketers believe repeat buyers stay out of emotional connection to their brand. Only 15-17% of consumers agree. That gap is costing companies billions. Nic breaks down the loyalty deficit, why switching has never been easier, and what confident marketers should actually be measuring.Whether you're defending a market-leading brand or building a challenger, this episode will change how you think about loyalty programs, customer retention, and the metrics you're relying on.

In this episode of Great Business Minds, João Marques Lima speaks with Krupal Raval, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at CyrusOne, about the forces reshaping global digital infrastructure. With a career spanning leadership roles at Digital Realty, Equinix, and now CyrusOne, Raval has witnessed - and helped shape - the industry's evolution from post-dot-com consolidation to today's AI-driven capital supercycle. The conversation explores how the sector has transformed into what Raval describes as a “land of giants” - an environment where access to capital, power and long-term partnerships increasingly determines who can compete at scale.   The AI inflection point According to Raval, the scale of change now underway is without precedent. While traditional cloud infrastructure is forecast to nearly double in capacity over the coming years, AI-driven workloads are projected to expand at multiples of that. The implications are profound: Data centre design is shifting toward higher density and advanced cooling architectures. Capital requirements are moving from billions to trillions. Power strategy is becoming as critical as real estate strategy. At CyrusOne, this has translated into a “power-first” approach - securing long-term energy partnerships and investing in net-new generation capacity to support future growth responsibly.   Capital, competition and discipline The episode also examines the structural shift from public to private ownership across the sector, and what that means for long-term value creation. Backed by KKR and BlackRock, CyrusOne operates with a multi-decade investment horizon - a model Raval argues is particularly well-suited to infrastructure cycles of this magnitude. He discusses: Why the industry requires patient capital The risks of overextension amid record demand How to avoid “building snowflakes” in an era of rapid technological change The importance of maintaining operational discipline during hypergrowth   Power, community and long-term responsibility Beyond gigawatts and growth projections, Raval emphasises the importance of trust - with employees, customers and communities alike. From energy partnerships in Texas to workforce development initiatives and local engagement programmes, the conversation highlights the delicate balance operators must strike: enabling exponential compute growth without triggering community backlash or grid instability. As AI accelerates discovery across healthcare, materials science and climate research, Raval argues that digital infrastructure is no longer a background utility - it is becoming central to global competitiveness and societal advancement. “In ten years,” he says, “we could see a hundred years of discovery.”   Leadership in a hypergrowth cycle The discussion closes on leadership - the role of humility in hiring, the importance of working with people you trust, and the necessity of passion in sustaining performance through relentless growth cycles. Quoting Steve Jobs, Raval reflects on a philosophy that has shaped his career: “You don't hire smart people to tell them what to do. You hire smart people so they can tell you what to do.”

In this episode, Woojin Kim, MD, Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Medical Information Officer at HOPPR, shares his remarkable journey from his early years navigating life in the U.S. as an undocumented immigrant to becoming one of radiology's most influential innovators in imaging informatics and AI. Drawing on formative experiences, arriving in the U.S. as an undocumented child, learning English through painstaking self‑translation, and finding stability in a supportive Korean church community, Woojin reflects on how those early years shaped the resilience, curiosity, and drive that underpin his professional journey. During this inspiring conversation, host Geoffrey Rubin, MD, MBA, FACR, traces Woojin's evolution from MSK radiologist and imaging informatics fellow to serial entrepreneur, co‑founding companies including Montage Healthcare Solutions (acquired by Nuance), Equium Intelligence (acquired by Rad AI.) Woojin discusses the origins of his informatics mindset - the Amtrak train rides where he taught himself to code, the team culture that fueled multiple successful exits, and what he learned about scaling technology, leading through acquisition, and deploying AI across diverse health systems worldwide. The conversation dives into the current frontier of radiology AI from foundation models, automated reporting, and agentic AI systems to the critical role of governance. Woojin explains why cognitive‑load reduction, not speed alone, will define the next generation of tools, how practices can prepare for rapid technological shifts and why radiologists must remain stewards of clinical judgment as AI becomes increasingly capable. Through a blend of personal perspective and deep technical insight, Woojin offers a compelling roadmap for radiologists, leaders, and trainees navigating a future shaped by continuous learning and transformative technology. Production support for this third annual William G. Bradley Memorial episode of the RLI “Taking the Lead” podcast has been provided by the California Radiological Society Foundation. The CRS Foundation was established to honor the legacy of Dr. Bradley, a pioneer in radiology practice, research, and leadership, and is committed to advancing the future of radiology in California.

In this episode of Pulse Check: The Reputation Rethink, we turn to two areas where public skepticism about higher education becomes more pronounced: money and local community impact. Ologie's national study revealed that most people believe colleges and universities provide value to society, but when the conversation shifts to how institutions are funded and how they show up in their communities, confidence begins to waver. Host Dayana Kibilds is joined by Doug Edwards, Chief Strategy Officer at Ologie, and Dr. Cassie Dutton, Research Director at Ologie, to unpack what the data tells us. Only 39% of respondents believe taxpayer dollars are being allocated to the areas they care most about. At the same time, only about half say they see meaningful benefits from their local colleges and universities. Together, they explore where that skepticism comes from, what people actually want to see prioritized, and how institutions can respond in ways that feel clear, visible, and grounded in everyday life. This episode is about understanding the gap between value and visibility, and what it would take to close it. Guest Bio (Doug Edwards): Doug is a seasoned professional who's dedicated his career to helping brands do more good for the world. With 20 years of experience across healthcare, education, cultural institutions, and non-profits, Doug helps senior leaders and marketing teams navigate their toughest brand related challenges.

Today's episode of the Punk CX podcast features three interviews I recorded whilst at Medallia's Experience event in Las Vegas on the 10th, 11th and 12th February. The interviews are with Sid Banerjee, Chief Strategy Officer at Medallia, Mike Murchison, co-founder and CEO of Ada, and Paloma Paraja, Customer Experience Manager at Santalucia Seguros. We cover the big themes of the conference, the latest developments at Medallia, agentic CX, building an ACX team, the importance of context in empathy and what it takes to deliver an award-winning customer experience. This interview follows on from my recent interview – The dangers of a CCaaS monoculture – Interview with Paul Hughes of Mitel – and is number 574 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders who are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees.

Michael Gray is the Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer at Spacial Working. He is based in London, UK. Spacial Working is focused on helping companies to create a flexible work environment that embraces both working from home and working in offices. The aim is to create a flexible arrangement that works well for the company and employees. The media often reports that WFH is finished and most employees are heading back into offices, but the reality is quite different. There is less WFH than during the pandemic period, but it has plateaued and is not dropping much further - so there is much more flexibility today compared to 2019. But many companies still struggle to make it work well so what does Michael advise? https://spacialworking.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelgray7/   Summary: In this CX Files episode, Mark Hillary speaks with Michael Gray, Chief Strategy Officer at Spacial Working, about what the pandemic really changed — and what it didn't — in customer experience operations. Gray explains that work-from-home in the contact center industry is not a temporary COVID experiment but part of a much longer evolution enabled by technology and workforce expectations. While some executives continue pushing return-to-office mandates, the evidence shows the future is hybrid: organizations must redesign recruitment, training, management, and performance measurement rather than simply sending agents home with laptops. Flexible working can improve retention and productivity, particularly for parents, carers, and geographically distant employees, but only if supported by proper monitoring, communication structures, and culture. The real challenge for CX leaders is no longer deciding whether remote work works — it is learning how to operationally manage a permanent hybrid workforce.

Malcolm kicks off the show with a look at current headlines, including UPS's optimization plan to close 22 sortation centers and the FMCSA's crackdown on CDL non-compliance in Illinois. The segment also highlights rising cargo theft data, noting that California and Texas accounted for 58% of US incidents in 2025. Headlines are followed up with two great interviews. Robert Nathan, Co-founder and CEO of Envoy AI, shares insights from his 20-year career that began in the warehouse and led to building a top-50 freight brokerage. He emphasizes the need for a shift toward human-centric technology, specifically building “carrier copilots” that empower the individual user rather than just the enterprise. Nathan also highlights the reality of systemic margin compression, advising brokerages to prepare for a future where they must operate profitably at margins as low as 7%. Following Nathan, Chris Torrence, Chief Strategy Officer at MapUp, brings a perspective shaped by military logistics and over 25 years in the industry. Torrence argues against the “pressure cooker” mentality of transactional sales, advocating instead for the cultivation of “reputation capital” and long-term relationships. He stresses the importance of personal branding and authenticity, noting that while technology can always be replicated, the trust built through genuine human connection remains the ultimate differentiator in a crowded market. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

In this Bright Spots in Healthcare episode, Medicare Advantage leaders confront a hard truth: high activity does not guarantee high impact. As Stars cut points rise and margins tighten, traditional segmentation and broad outreach strategies are no longer sufficient. This discussion explores how leading plans are shifting from static stratification to dynamic signal monitoring, identifying which members are realistically movable, and embedding behavioral intelligence directly into operational workflows. The focus is not on doing more. It is on doing what measurably drives lift. Our guests include: Amin Serehali, Chief Data and Analytics Officer, Independent Health Mike Leiper, Director of Government Quality Programs, Highmark Brendan Generelli, Director of Medicare Stars and Quality, Johns Hopkins Health Plans David Burianek, Chief Strategy Officer for Health Plans, MedOrion Together, they explore: How plans are distinguishing between theoretical risk and practical movability, concentrating outreach on members whose behavior can realistically change within a defined window. How leading organizations are integrating claims, pharmacy, grievance, complaint, and social drivers data with behavioral science modeling to move beyond rules based campaigns. Why simultaneous pressure across HEDIS, CAHPS, and Part D often reflects fragmentation in engagement strategy rather than isolated measure failures. How targeted pilots within defined populations create clarity before scaling enterprise wide changes. Why timing is emerging as a strategic lever, with continuous signal monitoring replacing annual segmentation refresh cycles. How embedding intelligence into frontline workflows improves alignment between engagement effort and measurable Stars influence.

Angela Tangas, the new Global Oliver CEO and The Brandtech Group's Chief Strategy Officer, and Jack Smyth, Brandtech and Jellyfish's Country Lead in Australia, discuss the transformative impact of agentic AI on marketing.  We explore the definition of agentic AI, its applications in real-world marketing scenarios, and the benefits it brings to efficiency and decision-making. The conversation also delves into the importance of building consumer trust in AI, the evolving landscape of branding, and the role of creativity in the age of AI. Additionally, they discuss how organizations can attract and retain talent in this new environment and provide methodologies for implementing AI effectively in marketing strategies. If last year was the year when Generative AI took centre stage with some high-profile brand film productions, then this year is looking to be the year of the agents. Agentic AI is not just the hot topic; it is driving brand transformations as the new operating system for brands, for creativity, for growth and for talent attraction and retention.

Steven Forth is a pricing strategist and AI innovator with decades of experience building value-based pricing models.  As the founder of Value IQ, he blends rigorous pricing theory with emerging AI applications—often pushing the boundaries of how pricing professionals think about data, modeling, and buyer behavior. In this episode, Mark and Steven step into another live debate aka 'intellectual challenge' about AI-generated synthetic data  with real pushback, not polite agreement. They challenge whether synthetic data is a breakthrough for pricing or just smarter-looking "fake data" that distances us from buyers. What unfolds is an unscripted stress test of the idea itself, and it ends with a surprisingly human conclusion you should definitely listen to.   What You'll Learn in This Episode: What synthetic data actually is—and how it differs from simply "making up numbers." Where synthetic data becomes dangerous, especially when assumptions about buyer behavior go untested. Why even the most advanced AI modeling cannot replace direct conversations with buyers.   "Go out and talk to buyers and understand their buying process." – Steven Forth   Topics Covered: 00:00 – Why synthetic data is suddenly a pricing topic. Steven introduces Value IQ and the idea behind AI-generated pricing intelligence. The setup: why synthetic data is gaining attention—and why Mark is skeptical from the start. 03:45 – What is synthetic data (without the buzzwords)? A plain-language definition of synthetic data and how it differs from CRM or ERP history. Why backward-looking data limits pricing strategy. 06:30 – The "fake data" objection. Mark challenges the idea head-on: Isn't this just inventing numbers? A sharp exchange on statistical misuse, p-values, and the danger of generating data that simply confirms what you want to see. 09:30 – Interpolation vs. extrapolation in pricing models. Why most pricing data isn't normally distributed. Discussion of fat tails, clustering, segmentation signals, and what synthetic data might distort—or reveal. 12:30 – The three types of synthetic data. Steven outlines three practical applications. (1) AI-generated buyer simulations. (2) Stress-testing value and pricing models. (3) Modeling competitive and economic scenarios. This is where the conversation moves from theory to use cases. 16:30 – Can AI predict buyer behavior? Mark pushes the core issue: pricing changes behavior. So how can synthetic data anticipate it? A discussion about assumptions, validation, and ground truth. 20:00 – A practical example: AI-driven Van Westendorp studies. A concrete scenario: simulate 100 real buyers, test pricing sensitivity, validate with actual survey data, and refine the model. A tangible way to experiment responsibly. 23:30 – The risk: Are we moving further from real buyers? The philosophical tension of the episode. Does synthetic data create insight—or another buffer between pricing teams and customers? 26:30 – The surprisingly human conclusion. After 25 minutes of AI debate, Steven's final advice is simple and grounded: talk to buyers and understand their buying process. 29:00 – Closing thoughts and where to connect. How to reach Steven and Mark—and a final reminder that AI is a tool, not a substitute for customer insight.   Key Takeaway: "Synthetic data is data that is generated for you by your AI." – Steven Forth "With synthetic data, you can explore scenarios that do not yet exist or parts of the market you do not yet touch." – Steven Forth   People and Resources Mentioned: Craig Zawada – Former McKinsey partner, co-creator of the pocket price waterfall; now Chief Strategy Officer at PROS  Benoit Mandelbrot – Referenced in the discussion about fat-tailed distributions and why pricing data is often not normally distributed. Pocket Price Waterfall – A pricing analytics framework originally developed at McKinsey. Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter – Used as a practical example of how synthetic data could simulate buyer responses. Conjoint Analysis – Discussed as a potential future application for synthetic respondents. Bayesian Updating / Bayesian Statistics – Mentioned as a way to iteratively improve models by aligning synthetic data with real-world results. Interpolation vs. Extrapolation – Statistical concepts debated in the context of synthetic modeling. Normal vs. Fat-Tailed Distributions – Discussion on why pricing data often violates normal distribution assumptions.   Connect with Steven Forth: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenforth/  Email: steven@valueiq.ai Subscribe to Steven's Substack: Synthetic data in pricing: https://pricinginnovation.substack.com/p/synthetic-data-in-pricing   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

Higher education's reputation is being shaped by a familiar set of headlines: rising costs, political pressure, campus conflict, layoffs, and closures. It's the story we keep hearing, and it's loud.But in this episode, we ask: is that the story most people actually believe?In the first episode of this five-part Pulse Check series, host Day Kibilds is joined by Doug Edwards, Chief Strategy Officer at Ologie, and Dr. Cassie Dutton, Research Director at Ologie, to introduce The Reputation Rethink, Ologie's national study on public perception of higher education.Together, they define what “reputation” really means in this research, explain who was included and why, and share the study's most encouraging (and challenging) insight: people believe colleges and universities contribute real value to society beyond educating students, but they struggle to see that impact in their everyday lives. This episode sets the foundation for the five specific areas institutions can address to close that gap and reconnect with the public.Host - Dayana Kibilds (LinkedIn)With 15 years of experience, Dayana Kibilds has led award-winning work with universities around the world.

In this episode, Brad Hibbert (COO & Chief Strategy Officer at Brinqa) joins Ashish to explain why traditional risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM) is no longer enough in a cloud-first world .We explore the evolution from simple patch management to Exposure Management a holistic approach that sits above your security tools to connect infrastructure, code, and cloud risks to actual business impact . Brad breaks down the critical difference between a "Risk Owner" (the service owner) and a "Remediation Owner" (the team fixing the bug) and why this distinction solves the "who fixes this?" problem .This conversation covers practical steps to uplift your VM program, how AI is helping prioritize the noise , and why compliance often just "proves activity" rather than reducing real risk . Whether you're drowning in Jira tickets or trying to automate remediation, this episode provides a roadmap for modernizing your security postureGuest Socials - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brad's LinkedinPodcast Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@CloudSecPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you are interested in AI Security, you can check out our sister podcast -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AI Security Podcast⁠Questions asked:(00:00) Introduction(02:50) Who is Brad Hibbert?

Desmond Patton is the 31st PIK University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, with joint appointments in the School of Social Policy & Practice and the Annenberg School for Communication, where he is the Waldo E Johnson Jr. Professor of Communication. He also holds secondary appointments in the Department of Psychiatry at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia & Perelman School of Medicine. He is founding director of SAFElab, founding faculty director of the Penn Center for Inclusive Innovation & Technology, and Chief Strategy Officer for the School of Social Policy & Practice.Professor Patton's groundbreaking research examines the relationship between social media and gun violence, grief, and loss, focusing on how online communities influence offline behavior. His work has made him the most cited and widely recognized scholar in this critical area of social science. Early research focused on detecting trauma and preventing violence on social media has evolved into broader investigations of language analysis and algorithmic bias in artificial intelligence. He currently serves as a member of Spotify's Safety Advisory Council, the Ethics and Equity Advisory Council (EEAC) at Axon, TikTok's U.S. Content Advisory Council, and is a trusted advisor to several AI startups.As a social work scientist, Patton identified that traditional data science methods often fail to capture the cultural and linguistic nuances of predominantly Black and Hispanic youth. In response, he developed the Contextual Analysis of Social Media (CASM) framework, which integrates culture, context, and inclusion into machine learning and computer vision analysis. He is also pioneering a new research agenda on joy, developing a practical and theoretical framework for integrating joy into AI model development as a tool for equity, imagination, and human connection.Dr. Patton is a member of the National Academy of Medicine, an Obama Foundation USA Leader, a Mozilla Rise 25 Change Agent, a Presidential Leadership Scholar, and one of RockHealth's Top 50 in Digital Health.Links:https://sp2.upenn.edu/person/desmond-upton-patton/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:dxheqqkccc6z5kqgw34shta7https://www.linkedin.com/in/desmond-patton-49a7b59/ Hosted on Acast.

We wrap up Setting Course 2026 this week with part two of our conversation with Robert Friedland and Jeff Currie. Robert is Executive Co-Chairman of Ivanhoe Mines and Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of I-Pulse. Jeff Currie is Chief Strategy Officer of Energy Pathways at Carlyle.   David Greely sits down with Robert and Jeff to discuss what's happening at Davos, what the revenge of the miners and the real economy means for copper and other commodity prices, and the other big themes that Jeff is seeing for 2026 and beyond.   We'll pick up with last week's conversation as Jeff discusses how the need to build out infrastructure for AI data centers is leading traditionally asset-light big tech companies to become asset-heavy.
