Lisa Liu, Corporate Marketing and Communications Manager at Stellar Cyber, says the AI noise has been running since RSAC Conference, and that what separates vendors now is whether they can back their claims with data their customers gave them. She came to Black Hat USA 2026 with figures on Agentic Auto Triage. The numbers she cites: up to 19 minutes saved per hour per analyst, up to 1.5 full-time analysts per year, and 99.7 percent agreement with the human analyst. Liu treats the accuracy figure as the one carrying the weight. Reacting at machine speed matters only if the verdicts hold, and she describes security as a low trust industry where the burden of proof sits with the vendor. Stellar Cyber is a security operations platform purpose built for MSPs and lean enterprise teams, offering full cycle, full visibility, unified security operations. Liu says the company builds its business logic around the customer pain point, maximizing the efficiency of the resources a team already has. With alerts climbing as attackers pick up the same AI tools as everyone else, she argues that hiring through the volume is out of reach for most teams. So where does reclaimed time go? Liu says that call belongs to the customer. Reported answers include customer relations, other facets of the job, and expanded roles that analysts never had time for. There is a learning effect too. Analysts can see every step of the decision making behind an AI conclusion and draw lessons from it. For managed service providers, Liu says partner analysts deliver more customized services and take in feedback more productively once their schedules loosen up. Where partners serve very different market segments, platform flexibility carries the load, along with full visibility and automation at machine speed. She also hears a shift on the floor: running many separate vendors creates expensive overlap and leaves gaps, and a single platform approach is becoming industry standard. What comes next? Liu places the industry in a proof stage. More validation is necessary, claims about the Agentic SOC keep arriving, and backing those up with more numbers is a large part of moving forward. AI has been part of the Stellar Cyber logic since the company was founded over 10 years ago, and she says that has not changed. This is a Brand Briefing.

Janice Kapner, former communications leader at Microsoft and T‑Mobile, shares expert insights on navigating high‑stakes corporate transformation, mergers and acquisitions, and leadership without formal authority. Drawing on her experience leading communications during the largest telecom merger in U.S. history, Kapner explains how transparency, strategic storytelling, and consistent stakeholder communication are critical to maintaining trust, credibility, and momentum throughout multi‑year integration processes. She highlights common leadership mistakes—such as underestimating resource needs and post‑merger execution—and emphasizes the importance of understanding business fundamentals, building cross‑functional relationships, and earning credibility over time. The conversation also explores lessons from launching Office 365 at Microsoft, working alongside Bill Gates, and more.

Don't fear losing your job to AI—fear losing it to someone who knows how to use AI better than you. It's time to stop treating AI as a tool and start treating it as your default way of working.Human by Design, AI by Default: Rewriting the Way We Work #110What does it actually look like to rebuild a global, legacy brand with years of technical debt into a completely AI-native business from the ground up? As it turns out, it isn't just a technological challenge—it is fundamentally an HR and communications mountain to climb.This week, Gary and George are doubly thrilled to welcome back Groupon's Chief People Officer, Nick Walker (marking his record third appearance on the show!), alongside Groupon's VP of Comms, Engagement, and Inclusion, Emma Coleman. Together, they take us behind the scenes of Groupon's massive cultural and structural transformation under their AI-savvy CEO, Dushan.From reshaping employee mindsets and restructuring traditional departments into lean "speedboats" to managing the psychological fear of redundancy, Nick and Emma share the unfiltered reality of rewriting the way we work. They discuss why AI adoption is actually a massive transfer of power from legacy systems back to human beings, and how human judgment remains the ultimate corporate superpower.Key takeaways from this episode:Speeding Fines vs. Parking Tickets: To build an AI-native culture, leaders must encourage risk-taking. Groupon welcomes "speeding fines" (mistakes made while pushing boundaries and moving fast) but has zero tolerance for "parking tickets" (complacency or refusing to try).Ditch the "Hand-Off Tax": Legacy organizations slow down because of continuous hand-offs between bloated, siloed teams. By structuring operations around "speedboats"—lean teams of 2 to 3 people running a complete workflow—you eliminate the friction and move exponentially faster.Close the Execution Gap, Not the Judgment Gap: AI is incredibly efficient at closing the execution gap (handling processes and grunt work). However, humans still own the judgment gap. Your ability to understand context, see around corners, and apply emotional intelligence is irreplaceable.Prompt Engineering is a Non-Negotiable Skill: Good inputs yield rich outputs. Investing time in mastering prompt engineering (sometimes spending up to an hour crafting a single prompt) is a major career differentiator that prevents "sloppy AI work."Send us Fan MailLinks & references: https://www.thecompanydoctor.com/Gary Gamp: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garygampGeorge Clode: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgeclodeGary's new book, Career Catalyst - available online now: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Career-Catalyst-Secret-Skills-School-ebook/dp/B0DFYVG6XY/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid open with a debrief from the Denver airport meetup, then dive into the mechanics of who actually controls America's communications. Cue a General Flynn clip on the FCC, ham radio, and the government's standing plan to take over telecom networks in a national emergency, which the guys connect to Trump meeting the FCC chief and their long running case that an election integrity emergency is coming. From there they reframe Trump's China speech: not a rehash of 2020, but a predicate about compromised voter roll data and 200 million stolen records. Then it is on to Iran, where strikes in Jordan, a Strait of Hormuz dispute, and suspiciously accurate missiles point toward Chinese weapons being calibrated against US defenses. Expect continuity of government theories, a lot of declassified document talk, and the usual reminder that the map is bigger than the headline. Bring context, not black pills.

Aaron McIntire covers President Trump reversing ICE's brief pause on vehicle stops just a day after it began, restoring one of the agency's main tools for deportations. He digs into Vice President JD Vance's appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, where Vance admits the administration mishandled the rollout of the Epstein files and pushes back on Attorney General Pam Bondi's earlier claims. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche takes a victory lap on fraud recoveries during his confirmation hearing, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirms the nation's gold reserves at Fort Knox remain fully accounted for. Aaron also covers Helen Comperatore, widow of Butler rally victim Corey Comperatore, sharing her personal belief that the assassination attempt was an inside job, though no evidence has been publicly confirmed. He wraps up the week's Daylight Saving Time poll results and the uncertain fate of the Sunshine Protection Act in the Senate.

Meet Neha Kumar, Brand and Design Lead at Queensland Rugby Union (Queensland Reds).Neha's career started out in retail and moved into marketing before she landed her first full-time role as social media lead at GIVIT, a Brisbane-based not-for-profit, where she taught herself graphic design, photography and videography on the job and even got to create content for a royal visit from Queen Camilla.Around the same time, she started WATCHHERFOOTY, a passion project covering the NRLW that's now grown to 22,000+ followers and put her on TV, on radio, and on The Female Athlete Project stage. That page changed everything. It sharpened what she wanted, and when a role opened at the Reds, she backed herself despite never formally studying design and getting knocked back in other roles.

John's piece: Wall Street at 250 through a Wall Street lens: Where we've been and what comes next. Today, a round-up of another session with AI hardware momentum names rocketing higher, while the broader market was largely sideways. Elsewhere, crypto and gold are both teetering near or beyond key support at critical technical levels, while we note an ugly turn in one part of the US Consumer Confidence picture. Finally, a look at Rocket Lab's acquisition of Iridium as it enters directly into the space-based communications fray with the big boys SpaceX and Amazon. And, with the USA set to turn 250 years old this Friday, we note today's link of the day on the USA through a Wall Street lens as it turns 250 years old this Saturday. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. About twice per week (in normal times, hopefully soon to resume), you will find links discussed on the podcast and a chart-of-the-day over at the John J. Hardy substack.

Hello and welcome to today's episode where I'm delighted to share my conversation with Dr Rachel Selman, all about better pelvic health conversations with athletes.Rachel is a physical therapist and coach, who shares her experience integrating pelvic health into sports medicine practice and discussed her upcoming book aimed at educating athletes about pelvic health issues. We explored challenges in communicating with athletes about pelvic health topics, including the need for sport-specific subjective questionnaires and annual in-services (for sports AND pelvic health pro's) to normalize these discussions. Rachel explained her approach to making complex pelvic health concepts accessible to athletes and coaches, emphasizing the importance of connecting pelvic health to overall performance rather than treating it as a separate specialized field. We discussed the role of stress and anxiety in exacerbating pelvic floor symptoms, particularly during high-stakes competitions. Our conversation also highlighted the need for better integration between pelvic health and sports medicine professionals, emphasising the importance of training coaches and athletes to recognise and discuss these symptoms preventatively, comparing it to how they would address other orthopedic concerns. Rachel is doing her part to change the narrative, and is planning to release her first book, Floor It, this autumn and it is available for pre-order now!Make sure you're following Rachel on instagram @dr.rachelselman for her amazing anatomy education and exercise strategiesAaaaand...don't forget, my Summer Sale is still on for a few more days, so if you're interested in helping female athletes with their pelvic health, check out The Menstrual Detective, which includes the course 'Pelvic Health for the Young Female Athlete' for free!

This episode was recorded on June 15 as part of the Policy Talks series hosted by The Conference Board.  Up to 330,000 companies could receive tariff refunds because of the Supreme Court ruling that invalidated a swath of tariffs. How can communication leaders tell a story about the tariff refunds that builds trust across stakeholders, including employees, customers, and investors?  Join Ivan Pollard and guests Davy Young, president of The CEO Center, John Gardner, head of public policy and research at The CEO Center, and Denise Dahlhoff, head of research at the Marketing & Communications Center at The Conference Board. They discuss why the court battles over tariff refunds aren't fully resolved, why new tariffs are likely to be issued, and why communications has become a central, collaborative function across the enterprise.  For more from The Conference Board:  The Tariff Refund Process  Intersections: Communications + Government Relations  CCOs Have a Seat at the Table.

NGO ads don't have to be a balance between dignity and donations. A look at the ethics and power dynamics of crisis communications, and how humanitarian agencies can do better for the communities they serve, with Levis Nderitu, a Kenyan DEI specialist, and Marie-Rose Romain Murphy, a Haitian-American community development expert.  "At the core of your communication should be people, should be dignity, should be: how would I want to be portrayed myself?"

Follow me @samirkaji for my thoughts on the venture market, with a focus on the continued evolution of the VC landscape.Welcome back to another episode of Venture Unlocked, the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the business of venture capital.In this episode, I'm joined by three deep tech investors and friends of the show, Nate Williams, Sunil Nagaraj, and Guy Perelmuter, for a roundtable on the state of deep tech and the changing venture landscape. We dig into what deep tech really means today, why it's suddenly attracting so much capital, and how economics, government tailwinds, and AI as a “killer app” have pulled these once niche technologies into the mainstream. We also explore the growing concentration of capital in a handful of hyperscale winners, the tension between consensus vs. non-consensus investing, and what all of this means for emerging managers, LPs, and founders operating at the zero-to-one stage.Thanks for listening to another episode of Venture Unlocked.

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid finally get to take a victory lap. The leaked Trump and Netanyahu phone call dropped this week, the one where Trump reportedly told Bibi he would be in jail if it weren't for him, and even Mark Levin confirmed the leak was real. Josh argues the White House leaked it themselves as a strategic move, and the entire save Israel for last thesis Alpha and Josh have been pushing for over a year just got vindicated in public. From there the guys unpack Chevron's grip on Israeli oil infrastructure, why Trump fired Rick Grenell for trying to renegotiate the Chevron deal in Venezuela, the Israel to Gaza pipeline play, the six hundred billion dollar defense pacts that make Gaza essentially untouchable, and why Megyn Kelly went on Sean Ryan in full doom mode this week. The deep state operatives got caught flat footed and the unified messaging took hours to spin up. Plus Bill Pulte rug pulling Tom Cotton for DNI and the genius double hat strategy that gives Pulte mortgage fraud and intelligence community access simultaneously, the Iranian decentralized ELF command structure, the Q plus comms cascade with double posted patriots are in control memes, and Scavino's every journey has an end tied to Ender's Game.

A Russian drone hits a Romanian apartment block, two civilians are injured, and suddenly a stray weapon becomes a case study in how Putin's Kremlin handles bad news. Why does the Kremlin's crisis management default to a belligerent, self-sabotaging sequence that turns a manageable incident into a wider political problem?It comes down to the priorities of an insecure, personalistic authoritarian system that equates any admission of failure with weakness, that regards information as a battlefield, and which lacks institutional filters between personality and policy.Details of the 23 June event in Potsdam I mentioned are:https://www.bundeswehr.de/de/marc-galeotti-autocracy-vs-technocracy-explaining-ukraine-war-6107930The podcast's corporate partner and sponsor is Conducttr, which provides software for innovative and immersive crisis exercises in hybrid warfare, counter-terrorism, civil affairs and similar situations.You can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials including the (almost-) weekly Govorit Moskva news briefing right here. Support the show
