Imagination and Strategy in Organizations Michael and Rebecca explored the role of imagination in organizational development, focusing on how it can help teams break free from routine and avoid burnout. Rebecca emphasized the value of developing strategy collaboratively and embedding it into systems so it becomes actionable. Michael shared a personal story about a team exercise that strengthened his relationship with his CEO, showing how facilitation can break down silos and build vulnerability within teams. Proactive Leadership in Volatile Times Rebecca highlighted the importance of facilitated conversations to create shared language and vivid pictures of possible futures. She stressed that leaders must take agency in shaping the future during times of uncertainty. Michael reflected on his leadership experience during the Great Recession, noting how proactive strategies and market exploration were essential. Both agreed that preparation and action are far better than waiting passively for challenges to unfold. Constraints Spark Creative Solutions Rebecca explained how constraints can ignite creativity, comparing children who produce better art with limited supplies to organizations that innovate within boundaries. She pointed out that major failures like the 2008 financial crisis and the 9/11 attacks were tied to a lack of imagination and unpreparedness for unexpected events. Imagination for Effective Planning Michael and Rebecca discussed how imagination can help leaders plan for multiple scenarios, both positive and negative. They emphasized that envisioning different futures calms the nervous system and prepares people for surprises. Michael encouraged leaders to think beyond worst-case scenarios, exploring opportunities for growth and using positive goal-setting to shape desired outcomes. Imagination in Strategic Decision-Making Rebecca emphasized the need to align emotions with rational decision-making and create compelling shared visions that motivate people. She argued that imagination should be treated as a serious, forward-looking tool rather than relying only on traditional approaches that analyze past performance. Imagination not only makes strategy development more effective but also more engaging and enjoyable. Website and Merchandise Rebecca shared details about her work and invited listeners to visit RebeccaSoutherns.com, where they can explore free resources and her "Possibility Packs," merchandise designed to spark imagination. Dr. Rebecca Sutherns – Imagination Strategist for Purpose-Driven Leaders Rebecca Sutherns, Ph.D., is the CEO and Founder of Sage Solutions, where she helps purpose-driven leaders close the gap between what matters most to them and what they actually do. With more than 27 years of global experience as a bestselling author, master facilitator, and coach, Rebecca is known for turning imagination into a strategic advantage. She brings analytical rigor, warm energy, and adaptability to strategy, governance, and decision-making. Her work began with a simple but powerful observation: many leaders stay stuck in past patterns, overlooking new possibilities. She discovered that a “failure of imagination” is often the hidden reason behind team misalignment and even global challenges. Today, she equips Boards and executives to distinguish what is fixed from what is flexible as they shape the future in times of rapid change. Through her ELASTIC framework, Rebecca helps non-profit leaders reimagine their next chapter with creativity and clarity. Whether through strategic planning facilitation or her innovative Possibility Packs, she champions imagination as a learnable skill and a collective practice—helping leaders co-create vivid mental pictures of what's possible and proactively "dent the world."
If we treat the universe as being filled with some kind of elastic solid, can we get any closer to understanding the nature of light and gravity as the product of physical processes, or is there still some deeper principle that needs to be uncovered before we can develop a unified theory of the universe?

Maintaining consistency across a sprawling codebase is one of the hardest challenges in software engineering. Denis Rechkunov, a Principal Software Engineer at Elastic, joins Robby to share how his team turned consistency into a cultural practice rather than a technical checklist. From managing open source projects with hundreds of contributors to experimenting safely with new patterns, Denis believes maintainability begins with shared ownership, not just clean code.He explains how Elastic introduced automation and linters to improve cohesion without discouraging creativity. Instead of enforcing perfection across the entire system, Denis' team scopes their changes to manageable areas and rewards steady progress over sweeping rewrites. Their annual “On Week” tradition gives engineers space to fix what frustrates them most, showing how small, focused bursts of work can produce big leaps in stability and morale.The conversation also explores the human side of maintainability. Denis recalls early lessons about unclear expectations, the importance of documenting decisions in public pull requests, and how open feedback loops build trust across remote teams. Whether it's stabilizing a flaky CI pipeline or mentoring new engineers, Denis argues that technical excellence thrives when consistency becomes a habit shared by everyone.Episode Highlights[00:01:02] Defining Well-Maintained SoftwareDenis identifies consistency, documentation, testability, and agility as the key ingredients of maintainable systems.[00:02:22] Balancing Standards and AutonomyHow automation and linters help preserve code cohesion while minimizing interpersonal friction.[00:04:08] Experimenting SafelyElastic scopes new patterns to low-risk modules before broader adoption, avoiding mass rewrites.[00:07:19] Incremental CleanupLinters only apply to changed files, helping the team fix issues gradually without overwhelming contributors.[00:08:02] Maintainability as a People ProblemDenis highlights that sustainable systems depend more on culture and mentorship than on architecture.[00:10:13] Lessons from MiscommunicationAn early experience showed the cost of undocumented conventions and unclear onboarding.[00:17:09] Making Space for Technical DebtElastic's engineers dedicate part of each sprint and an annual “On Week” to tackle maintenance work.[00:23:05] Restoring CI ReliabilityDenis shares how the team revived a pipeline with only a 10% success rate by categorizing failures and focusing on data.[00:32:00] Practicing Software ArchaeologyHe stresses the value of documenting discussions in pull requests to avoid historical guesswork later.[00:36:09] Feedback and TrustOpen communication, humility, and mutual feedback loops form the backbone of a maintainable culture.[00:51:00] Embracing Chaos in Open SourceDenis encourages teams to accept a degree of entropy and focus their efforts on user-facing stability.[01:00:00] Security and PrivacyWhy maintainability, trust, and privacy are inseparable pillars of long-term sustainability.[01:01:06] Where to StartInstead of rewriting code, start by cultivating maintainability as a shared value across the team.Resources MentionedElasticgolangci-lintAppSignalThe Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov — Denis' recommendation inspired Robby to finally pick up a copy and start reading it himself.Denis's Blog – rdner.deDenis on GitHubDenis on MastodonDenis on LinkedInThanks to Our Sponsor!Turn hours of debugging into just minutes!

"You got to remember that you don't own time, it's time that owns you." --Stephen King, "My Pretty Pony" Alan dives into the elastic nature of time this week, a concept he got from a Stephen King short story. He argues that time is totally weird and feels different depending on a person's situation, age, and mood. The Bonus Day: The whole thing started when Alan woke up at 3:30 a.m., convinced it was a work day (Tuesday). Then it hit him: It's Monday. He doesn't work Mondays! It felt like he got an entire day given back to him—a huge, weird, little time-traveling gift. The "Freakout" Factor: He observes that things that are stressful right now—like when his office phones were down for three days—feel like they'll be a nightmare forever. He quickly realized, though, that those things are usually forgotten by next week, proving that "this too shall pass." Time's Sandpaper: He looks back at the big, scary things, like being terrified about becoming a dad or the stress of dental school, and notes that now those sharp edges are all smoothed out. Time has a funny way of making those tough memories almost fond. The "Old Person" Cliché: Now he's the one saying it: "just hold onto these moments." Seeing his oldest son's marching band career wrapping up hit him how fast it all goes. That "blink and you'll miss it" thing is totally real, he says. The Light at the End: On the financial side, time actually works out. Those massive commitments, like the mortgages on his house and office, that felt endless when they started? Mead is finally seeing the finish line. He finds it wild that they eventually just... end. He wraps up by encouraging listeners to think about their own perception of time and remember: whatever you're dealing with, it's going to work out and move on.

Son parcours l'a mené d'un grand fournisseur internet et de télécommunications vers la gestion d'un SOC (Security Operations Center), puis vers des rôles de recherche sur les menaces pour des vendeurs de SIEM et d'EDR. Aujourd'hui, il occupe le poste de product manager pour BloodHound Community Edition chez SpecterOps, une position qu'il a obtenue grâce à ses nombreuses présentations sur BloodHound au fil des années. BloodHound version 8 et la révolution OpenGraph La version 8 de BloodHound représente une évolution majeure de l'outil. La fonctionnalité phare est OpenGraph, qui permet d'ingérer n'importe quel type de données dans le graphe et de créer ses propres chemins d'attaque pour différentes technologies. Historiquement, BloodHound se concentrait exclusivement sur Active Directory et Azure/Entra ID, mais cette limitation appartient désormais au passé. Avec le lancement d'OpenGraph, SpecterOps a publié plusieurs nouveaux collecteurs pour diverses technologies : One Password, Snowflake, et Jamf (pour la gestion des postes de travail Mac). La communauté a réagi avec enthousiasme, puisqu'en seulement 48 heures après l'annonce, un contributeur externe a créé un collecteur pour Ansible. Plus récemment, un collecteur pour VMware vCenter et ESXi a également vu le jour, démontrant l'adoption rapide de cette nouvelle capacité. La distinction fondamentale : access path versus attack path Mathieu utilise une analogie éclairante avec Google Maps pour expliquer la différence entre un chemin d'accès et un chemin d'attaque. Google Maps montre les chemins autorisés selon différents modes de transport (voiture, vélo, transport en commun), chacun ayant ses propres règles et restrictions. C'est l'équivalent d'un graphe d'accès qui indique où on a le droit d'aller. Un chemin d'attaque, en revanche, représente la perspective d'un adversaire qui ne se préoccupe pas des règlements. L'exemple donné est celui d'une voiture roulant sur une piste cyclable à Montréal : c'est interdit, on sait qu'on risque une contravention, mais c'est techniquement possible. Dans le monde numérique, les conséquences sont souvent moins immédiates et moins visibles, ce qui explique pourquoi les attaquants exploitent régulièrement ces chemins non conventionnels. L'évolution du modèle de données BloodHound a commencé modestement avec seulement trois types d'objets (utilisateurs, groupes et ordinateurs) et trois types de relations (member of, admin et session). Depuis, le modèle s'est considérablement enrichi grâce aux recherches menées par SpecterOps et d'autres organisations. Des propriétés comme le Kerberoasting ont été ajoutées, permettant d'identifier les objets vulnérables à ce type d'attaque et d'élever ses privilèges. La vraie puissance d'OpenGraph réside dans la capacité de relier différents systèmes entre eux. Par exemple, si un attaquant compromet le poste d'un utilisateur ayant accès à un dépôt GitHub, il peut voler les tokens et sessions pour effectuer des commits au nom de cet utilisateur, potentiellement dans une bibliothèque largement utilisée, ouvrant ainsi la voie à une attaque de la chaîne d'approvisionnement (supply chain attack). Cette interconnexion multi-dimensionnelle des systèmes était difficile à visualiser mentalement, mais le graphe la rend évidente. Créer des collecteurs OpenGraph : exigences et bonnes pratiques Pour qu'un collecteur soit accepté dans la liste officielle des projets communautaires, certains standards doivent être respectés. Il faut créer le connecteur avec une documentation détaillant les permissions minimales nécessaires (principe du moindre privilège), expliquer son fonctionnement, les systèmes d'exploitation supportés, et les dépendances requises. La documentation devrait également inclure des références sur comment exploiter ou défendre contre les vulnérabilités identifiées. Bien que non obligatoires, des éléments visuels personnalisés (icônes et couleurs) sont fortement recommandés pour assurer une cohérence visuelle dans la communauté. Le projet étant open source, les utilisateurs peuvent toujours modifier ces éléments selon leurs préférences. Un aspect crucial est la fourniture de requêtes Cypher pré-construites. Sans ces requêtes, un utilisateur qui ne connaît pas Cypher pourrait importer toutes les données mais se retrouver bloqué pour les exploiter efficacement. Le langage Cypher et l'accès aux données BloodHound fonctionne sur une base de données graphique, historiquement Neo4j, mais maintenant également PostgreSQL grâce à un module de conversion. Le langage de requête utilisé est Cypher, qui possède une syntaxe particulière. Pour rendre l'outil plus accessible, SpecterOps maintient une bibliothèque Cypher contenant de nombreuses requêtes créées par l'équipe et la communauté. Ces requêtes peuvent être exécutées directement depuis le portail BloodHound. L'entreprise explore également l'utilisation de LLM (Large Language Models) pour générer des requêtes Cypher automatiquement, bien que le corpus public de données spécifiques à BloodHound soit encore limité. Les pistes futures incluent l'utilisation de MCP (Model Context Protocol) et d'approches agentiques pour améliorer la génération de requêtes. Usage défensif et offensif : deux faces d'une même médaille Mathieu souligne que les mêmes requêtes Cypher peuvent servir tant aux équipes bleues (défensives) qu'aux équipes rouges (offensives). La différence réside dans l'intention et l'utilisation des résultats, pas dans les outils eux-mêmes. C'est l'équivalent du marteau qui peut construire ou détruire selon l'utilisateur. Pour l'usage défensif, BloodHound Enterprise offre des fonctionnalités avancées comme le scan quasi-continu, l'identification automatique des points de contrôle critiques (choke points), et des outils de remédiation. Même la version communautaire gratuite permet de découvrir des vulnérabilités majeures lors de la première exécution. Exemples concrets et cas d'usage Mathieu partage des exemples frappants de découvertes faites avec BloodHound. Dans une entreprise de plus de 60 000 employés, il a identifié un serveur où tous les utilisateurs du domaine (domain users) avaient été accidentellement configurés comme administrateurs locaux. Comme un compte administrateur de domaine se connectait régulièrement à ce serveur, n'importe quel utilisateur pouvait devenir administrateur du domaine en seulement trois étapes : RDP vers le serveur, dump de la mémoire pour récupérer le token, puis attaque pass-the-hash. Un autre cas récent impliquait le script de login d'un administrateur de domaine stocké dans un répertoire accessible en écriture à tous. En y plaçant un simple script affichant un popup, l'équipe de sécurité a rapidement reçu une notification prouvant la vulnérabilité. Nouvelles fonctionnalités : la vue tableau Bien que moins spectaculaire qu'OpenGraph, la fonctionnalité “table view” répond à un besoin important. La célèbre citation de John Lambert de Microsoft (2015) dit : “Les attaquants pensent en graphe, les défenseurs pensent en liste. Tant que ce sera vrai, les attaquants gagneront.” Bien que la visualisation graphique soit le paradigme central de BloodHound, certaines analyses nécessitent une vue tabulaire. Par exemple, une requête identifiant tous les comptes Kerberoastables retourne de nombreux points à l'écran, mais sans informations détaillées sur les privilèges ou l'appartenance aux groupes. La vue tableau permet de choisir les colonnes à afficher et d'exporter les données en JSON (et bientôt en CSV), facilitant l'analyse et le partage d'informations. Deathcon Montréal : la conférence pour les défenseurs En complément à son travail sur BloodHound, Mathieu est le site leader de Montréal pour Deathcon (Detection Engineering and Threat Hunting Conference). Cette conférence unique, entièrement axée sur les ateliers pratiques (hands-on), se déroule sur deux jours en novembre. Contrairement aux conférences traditionnelles, tous les ateliers sont pré-enregistrés, permettant aux participants de travailler à leur rythme. L'événement se limite volontairement à 50 personnes maximum pour maintenir une atmosphère humaine et favoriser les interactions. Les participants ont accès à un laboratoire massif incluant Splunk, Elastic, Sentinel et Security Onion, et conservent cet accès pendant au moins un mois après l'événement. Sans sponsors, la conférence est entièrement financée par les billets, et l'édition 2024 a déjà vendu plus de 30 places, avec de nombreux participants de l'année précédente qui reviennent. Conclusion BloodHound avec OpenGraph représente une évolution majeure dans la visualisation et l'analyse des chemins d'attaque en cybersécurité. En permettant l'intégration de multiples technologies au-delà d'Active Directory, l'outil offre désormais une vision holistique des vulnérabilités organisationnelles. Que ce soit pour la défense ou les tests d'intrusion, BloodHound continue de démontrer que penser en graphe plutôt qu'en liste constitue un avantage stratégique décisif en matière de sécurité.

When most people think about blood pressure, they think about a once-a-year reading at a doctor's office. But one measurement on one day doesn't tell you much about your cardiovascular health. Just like a single fasting glucose number doesn't reveal your metabolic state, a one-off blood pressure check is largely meaningless. Blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day based on stress, sleep, exercise, hydration, and countless other factors. And even more important: the cuff on your arm measures brachial pressure — not the central pressure your heart and organs actually experience. That distinction matters. The true risk isn't just the number on a cuff, it's how elastic your arteries are and how much pressure your aorta is under. Elastic vessels absorb the shock of each heartbeat, while stiff ones reflect it back toward the heart and raise central pressure. That's why arterial stiffness is such a strong predictor of cardiovascular risk, especially as we age or when diet and lifestyle accelerate inflammation and plaque buildup. In this episode, I explain how modern devices can go beyond a simple systolic/diastolic reading. Using pulse wave analysis, they can estimate central blood pressure, pulse pressure, augmentation pressure, augmentation index, and oxygen supply-demand balance in the heart muscle. I share some of my own readings — including cases where a cuff reading looked “high” but the deeper markers showed excellent elasticity and low central pressure. It's a reminder that context matters far more than one isolated number. The takeaway is clear: don't let a single reading define your health. Look at patterns over time. Pay attention to central pressure and vessel elasticity. And above all, address the lifestyle drivers that really move the needle — diet, sleep, movement, stress, and balancing electrolytes like sodium and potassium. Elevated blood pressure is not written in your genes; it's usually written in your habits. Learn more:

One of the many diverse educational opportunities at the U.S. Army War College are specialized seminars that deep-dive into specific areas of interest. Kurt McDowell and Mike Smith participated in the AY25 Futures Seminar, and they're in the studio with host Darrell Driver to discuss their findings. Sponsored by the J-7, Lieutenant General Anderson, the seminar was tasked with exploring innovation for maneuver warfare in 2040. , McDowell, Smith and the team advocate for an "elastic mindset" and "effectual logic," a means-based approach that focuses on what's available, rather than a traditional causal, end-state approach. They contrast this with the military's current high-certainty planning scenarios, which are often based on specific threats like Russia and China. The first kind of foundational key finding is that the elastic mindset is essential for U.S. military innovation.

Today's guest is Dr. Michael Schofield. Mike is a New Zealand sports scientist and track and field coach with a PhD in biomechanics and strength and conditioning. He has coached athletes to Olympic, World Championship, and Commonwealth Games finals in the throws, while also developing national-level sprinters and weightlifters. His strength and conditioning work spans multiple sports, from golf to stand-up paddleboarding. Mike has done substantial research in, and is a subject matter expert in the role of connective tissues in athletic movement and force production. This podcast explores the crucial functions of connective tissue in athletic performance. We examine how tendons, ligaments, and fascia support movement, prevent injuries, and contribute to force production. Mike also disperses exactly what fascia and connective tissue does, and does not do in animal (and human) movement profiles. Through the podcast, Mike reveals the mechanisms of connective tissue and how understanding it can improve training outcomes. Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength.

Actionable Takeaways: Treat connective tissue as a system that adapts to training, not just something that “holds things together.” Prioritize training methods that build elasticity and responsiveness, not just muscle strength. Recognize that resilience often depends on connective tissue health more than raw muscular output. 5:27 – Exploring Elasticity in Motion Key Idea: Elasticity allows athletes to move with efficiency and rhythm, reducing the need for constant muscular effort. Actionable Takeaways: Integrate bouncing, skipping, and plyometric variations to sharpen elastic return. Train for rhythm and timing, not just force—elastic qualities emerge from how energy is recycled. Monitor whether athletes rely too much on muscle and not enough on elastic recoil. 7:25 – Muscle vs. Fascia: A Complex Debate Key Idea: Muscles and fascia work together, but fascia often dictates how well force is transmitted through the body. Actionable Takeaways: Don't train muscle in isolation—consider the connective tissue pathways that carry the load. Include multi-planar, whole-chain exercises that respect how fascia links segments. Shift perspective: strength is more than hypertrophy; it's about integration across systems. 16:14 – Understanding Strength and Sequencing Key Idea: True strength is about sequencing—how joints, tissues, and muscles fire in the right order. Heavy lifting too soon can actually disrupt this process. Actionable Takeaways: Build foundational movement skill before layering on maximal loads. Use exercises that emphasize timing and rhythm, not just raw output. Ask: is this athlete strong because they're sequenced, or are they muscling through inefficiency? 23:49 – The Importance of Movement Literacy Key Idea: Movement literacy—the ability to explore, coordinate, and adapt—is a prerequisite for higher-level strength. Actionable Takeaways: Encourage athletes to explore different movement tasks, not just rehearsed drills.

In this episode of The Revenue Builders Podcast, hosts John McMahon and John Kaplan dive deep into the critical role of the CFO in sales deals, especially in uncertain times. Joined by Elastic's Chief Sales Officer, Michael Cremen, the discussion revolves around the importance of understanding and addressing the CFO factor, failing fast, and asking the hard questions. The episode provides valuable insights for sales professionals on navigating financial implications, engaging champions effectively, and using strategic language to secure deals.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:36] Competing Beyond Competitors: Salespeople must recognize they're not just competing against direct competitors but against all the other potential investments the CFO could make.[00:01:44] Stacking Up Against Priorities: The real competition lies in how your cost justification compares to all the other initiatives the CFO is juggling.[00:03:24] The Timing Dilemma: Discussion on whether to go early and seek advice or go late and face critique from CFOs. Emphasis on the importance of early engagement and seeking guidance before formal proposals.[00:05:08] Champion Dynamics: The significance of going with a champion and the potential pitfalls of leaving them out of crucial conversations with CFOs.[00:07:36] Strategic Language: The hosts and Michael Kremen discuss the importance of using precise language that conveys the value proposition and justifies the presence of the sales team at the CFO level.[00:09:28] Embracing Paranoia: Encouragement for sales teams to be paranoid and vigilant, especially when dealing with high-stakes deals and engaging CFOs.HIGHLIGHT QUOTES[00:08:18] "The best sales teams on the planet are paranoid, like viciously paranoid. If you think it's going to sail through and everything's fine, be careful, be paranoid."[00:10:09] "People rarely argue with their own conclusions. When you ask them to walk you through a scenario and they realize that they've just answered the question, it just makes it a lot easier."[00:11:38] "It needs to be in their language, in their parameters. If you're forcing your goals, the way you read things, the way you're measuring your customers, they don't understand it."Listen to the full episode with Michael Cremen through this link:https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/connecting-to-value-with-michael-cremenCheck out John McMahon's book here:Amazon Link: https://a.co/d/1K7DDC4Check out Force Management's Ascender platform here: https://my.ascender.co/Ascender/

Gigi Robinson grew up with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a disease that turns your joints into overcooked spaghetti. Instead of letting it sideline her, she built a career out of telling the truth about invisible illness. We talk about what it takes to grow up faster than you should, why chronic illness is the worst unpaid internship, and how she turned her story into a business. You'll hear about her days schlepping to physical therapy before sunrise, documenting the sterile absurdity of waiting rooms, and finding purpose in the mess. Gigi's not interested in pity or polished narratives. She wants you to see what resilience really looks like, even when it's ugly. If you think you know what an influencer does, think again. This conversation will challenge your assumptions about work, health, and what it means to be seen.RELATED LINKSGigi Robinson Website: https://www.gigirobinson.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gigirobinsonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsgigirobinsonTikTok: @itsgigirobinsonA Kids Book About Chronic Illness: https://akidsco.com/products/a-kids-book-about-chronic-illnessFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins attempted to assuage lawmakers' concerns Tuesday over how the agency plans to deliver critical health tech services amid drastic cuts to its workforce. Appearing before the Senate Appropriations Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, Collins said the VA is full steam ahead on planned deployments of its oft-troubled electronic health record at additional facilities, and is also pushing forward on the rollout of its External Provider Scheduling tool. The VA said in February that it had dismissed 1,000 employees, while the Associated Press reported in March that it planned to cut 80,000 staffers. The Oracle EHR system, meanwhile — plagued by technical problems since its launch during the first Trump administration — is scheduled to be deployed at 13 medical facilities by 2026. A suite of Elastic products will be discounted for agencies by up to 60% under a new deal announced Tuesday by the General Services Administration. The agreement, part of the GSA's OneGov strategy to modernize how the government purchases goods and services, will give agencies access to discounts of Elastic's self-managed solution starting at 27.5%, climbing to higher savings based on governmentwide annual spending. Stephen Ehikian, GSA's acting administrator, said in a press release that the pact “represents a significant step in our efforts to drive cost efficiencies and modernize IT infrastructure across the federal government.” Additionally, discounts start at 15% for FedRAMP Moderate cloud deployments via GovCloud, jumping to 32% at the top volume tier. The pricing options are locked in for orders made prior to Sept. 30, 2027. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: The New York Times would not allow itself to write a news headline asserting that the president is abusing his power, but it's perfectly happy to go fishing for a quote that will say that. In this case, the fishing line is still visible, as what Trevor Potter, the president of the Campaign Legal Center and a former Republican chairman of the Federal Election Commission says, specifically is, “and yes, this is an example of Trump publicly and improperly threatening,” etc. which points back to his having been asked by the reporter to affirm the proposition that Trump is abusing his power. So he got the quote, the quote goes in quotation marks, and the Times simply reports it, as a thing in the world that someone factually spoke.

What if you could use ElasticSearch serverless? While at Build, Carl and Richard chatted with Ken Exner about the new announcements around Elastic providing serverless storage and search! Ken talks about paying for only the data you move and store with serverless, rather than needing to operate any infrastructure for Elastic. The conversation digs into the potential of Elastic in Azure AI Foundry to provide ultra-fast access to current company data for your LLM implementations. Elastic did vector databases before LLMs made them essential for RAG - and you can take advantage of it!

Martin Mao is the co-founder and CEO of Chronosphere, an observability platform built for the modern containerized world. Prior to Chronosphere, Martin led the observability team at Uber, tackling the unique challenges of large-scale distributed systems. With a background as a technical lead at AWS, Martin brings unique experience in building scalable and reliable infrastructure. In this episode, he shares the story behind Chronosphere, its approach to cost-efficient observability, and the future of monitoring in the age of AI.What you'll learn:The specific observability challenges that arise when transitioning to containerized environments and microservices architectures, including increased data volume and new problem sources.How Chronosphere addresses the issue of wasteful data storage by providing features that identify and optimize useful data, ensuring customers only pay for valuable insights.Chronosphere's strategy for competing with observability solutions offered by major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, focusing on specialized end-to-end product.The innovative ways in which Chronosphere's products, including their observability platform and telemetry pipeline, improve the process of detecting and resolving problems.How Chronosphere is leveraging AI and knowledge graphs to normalize unstructured data, enhance its analytics engine, and provide more effective insights to customers.Why targeting early adopters and tech-forward companies is beneficial for product innovation, providing valuable feedback for further improvements and new features. How observability requirements are changing with the rise of AI and LLM-based applications, and the unique data collection and evaluation criteria needed for GPUs.Takeaways:Chronosphere originated from the observability challenges faced at Uber, where existing solutions couldn't handle the scale and complexity of a containerized environment.Cost efficiency is a major differentiator for Chronosphere, offering significantly better cost-benefit ratios compared to other solutions, making it attractive for companies operating at scale.The company's telemetry pipeline product can be used with existing observability solutions like Splunk and Elastic to reduce costs without requiring a full platform migration.Chronosphere's architecture is purposely single-tenanted to minimize coupled infrastructures, ensuring reliability and continuous monitoring even when core components go down.AI-driven insights for observability may not benefit from LLMs that are trained on private business data, which can be diverse and may cause models to overfit to a specific case.Many tech-forward companies are using the platform to monitor model training which involves GPU clusters and a new evaluation criterion that is unlike general CPU workload.The company found a huge potential by scrubbing the diverse data and building knowledge graphs to be used as a source of useful information when problems are recognized.Subscribe to Startup Project for more engaging conversations with leading entrepreneurs!→ Email updates: https://startupproject.substack.com/#StartupProject #Chronosphere #Observability #Containers #Microservices #Uber #AWS #Monitoring #CloudNative #CostOptimization #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #LLM #MLOps #Entrepreneurship #Podcast #YouTube #Tech #Innovation

Marketing isn't just about tactics, it's about strategy. And most times, the smartest move is playing the long game.That's the strategy behind Settlers of Catan, a board game built on resource trading, calculated risks, and thinking three steps ahead. In this episode, we're drawing inspiration from its gameplay with our special guest, Jen Grant, Chief Marketing Officer at Dialpad.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from staying focused on their own path, anticipating competitor reactions, and building a diversified strategy that drives long-term growth. Because in both Settlers of Catan and marketing, the real power play is thinking beyond your next move.About our guest, Jen GrantBefore joining Dialpad as Chief Marketing Officer in October 2024, Jen served on the Dialpad Board of Directors, held C-level positions at Cube and Appify, led Looker's marketing, drove the rebrand of Elastic, and grew Box to an industry-leading enterprise content company. Jen holds an MBA from Wharton, a BA from Princeton, and has been recognized as one of the Top 100 Princeton Technology leaders.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Settlers of Catan:Play your own game. In Catan, constantly reacting to what others are doing can leave you scrambling. The same applies in B2B marketing. Jen encourages a more grounded approach: “You do much better, sort of very quietly focusing on your own growth.” Instead of chasing competitors or mimicking market leaders, build a strategy that aligns with your own long-term vision. Because sustainable growth isn't won through noise, but through quiet, deliberate moves.Always be forecasting. Winning at Catan means thinking ahead, not just about your next move, but the ones after that. Jen says, “I actually really love the strategy part of it. Thinking about, okay, we're about to launch a particular feature. What's that gonna make the competition do?” In a competitive landscape, it's not enough to plan for what you control; you also need to anticipate how others will react. Great marketers operate like strategic game players. Don't bet on just one road to victory. Catan punishes one-dimensional players. You can't win by hoarding sheep alone, you need balance. Jen explains, “It is never one thing…It's all of the things at the same time, executed perfectly well.” Diversification isn't just about spreading risk; it's about orchestrating a full-spectrum effort that compounds over time. The most impactful marketing isn't siloed, it's symphonic.Quotes*“The thing about Catan, and other board games, this might come into play too, but you could potentially spend all of your time trying to crush the other players…And when you play a game a lot, you're like, oh, I'm gonna try this strategy this time, see what happens. And one of the things that I've definitely never seen work is if you focus all your energy on messing with other people. You do much better sort of very quietly, focusing on your own growth.”*“ I actually think the reason I like the game so much is the game theory of thinking ahead, 2, 3, 4 steps ahead. And so you're thinking how am I gonna achieve my goals, but what are they gonna do when I do, whatever it is, buy this road. I love that part of the game. I love thinking out ahead, okay, if we do this, then what are they gonna do? And for marketing, I think we often get caught up in the fun, creative part of marketing. But I actually really love the strategy part of it, of thinking about, okay, we're about to launch a particular feature. What's that gonna make the competition do? Are they gonna freak out? Are we kind of catching up to them? And maybe we shouldn't be so loud about it 'cause we should have had this before. All of the different implications of what you do in a market and then how the competition actually responds.”*“ So the thing about Catan at the very beginning of the game is that there are numbers on every square. And so you get to choose two places to put your little settlement, and there are three numbers for each of those settlements. So right there, you have six numbers, and the numbers are on resources. And what's really important, and many people don't think about this, is you wanna have all of the resources available to you on numbers that get rolled frequently, but you can't be on only two numbers. And it kind of speaks to diversifying tactics. So that to me goes right to marketing. Oftentimes, we'll get CEOs or CFOs, probably more likely. Just find that one thing that works really well and put all your budget into the one thing, and you're like, it is never one thing. Never, never, never is it one thing. It's all of the things at the same time executed perfectly well.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Jen Grant, Chief Marketing Officer at Dialpad[02:10] Why Settlers of Catan[03:08] The Role of CMO at Dialpad[04:52] Dialpad's Evolution[09:19] Dialpad's Super Bowl Ad[10:40] Origins of Settlers of Catan[16:23] B2B Marketing Lessons from Settlers of Catan[49:47] How Jen is Investing in Brand and Content[56:25] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Jen on LinkedInLearn more about DialpadAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES—Psychedelia has an image problem. At least that's what editor and journalist Hillary Brenhouse realized after she saw through the haze.Both in art and literature, psychedelia was way more than tie-dye t-shirts and magic mushrooms. Instead of letting that idea fade into the mist, she kept thinking about it. And the more she looked, the more she realized maybe she should create a magazine to address this. And so she did.Elastic is a magazine of psychedelic art and literature. It says so right there on the cover of the beautiful first issue that just launched. So this is not your standard issue lit or art mag. After all, this is one backed by … Harvard, and UC Berkeley, and a couple of major foundations. Hillary Brenhouse has learned a lot about the craft and the business of making and selling magazines this past year. Lucky for us, she and her team are quick studies. You can see it on every page of Elastic. And she also may have redefined the literary magazine. Without a single tie-dyed t-shirt or magic mushroom in the lot, man.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025
