Gaurav Keerthi, Head of Advisory and Emerging Business at Ensign InfoSecurity, joins Kopi Time to provide a fascinating overview of the current state of affairs in cybersecurity. We begin with the intersection of geopolitics and cyberattacks. From state sponsored defensive and offensive teams to independent actors with a range of motives, the number of agents attacking the integrity of national power grids, airports, water supply, along with healthcare and education systems, has proliferated at an extraordinary pace in recent decades. In addition to nations, large companies and individuals face millions of attacks a day that are increasingly sophisticated. Even with a tiny fraction succeeding, cyber crimes have become an economy worth hundreds of billions of the dollars. Gaurav works through the processes behind building systems that are not 100% immune from cyberattacks, but capable of bouncing back in the event of an attack. With AI in play already, and quantum on track to disrupt cryptography, new waves to technology are making cyber defence more challenging, but the same tech is also being used to build tools and practices for higher degrees of surveillance and resilience. Gaurav's views are more realistic than pessimistic, focused on risk management. A must listen.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sophie Cartledge joins Catherine in this episode to talk about her autism discovery via an ADHD diagnosis in perimenopause at the age of 44.  After researching why so many women were being diagnosed ADHD in perimenopause, for her work and simultaneously really starting to struggle with a number of things in her own life, she put two and two together and sought a diagnosis. Looking back now, she can see how the years of not knowing, have taken their toll both mentally and physically, leading her to a place of extreme burnout and feeling broken that have made perimenopause and her early 40's such a rough ride.  She can also see how perimenopause wasn't just about her hormones changing, they were the catalyst for the ‘unmasking' process.  Discovering she is AUDHD has made so much sense of her life. Sophie always knew she was different somehow, often described as quirky, creative, sensitive and caring too much. And with this, she had always carried this feeling that something was ‘off', she just couldn't place what.  She had put a lot of it down to trauma, yet despite therapy, much of these feelings remained.  Sophie is really passionate about sharing her experience and knowledge to raise more awareness of the intersection that exists between Autism, ADHD & perimenopause in the hope that it might help others make sense of their combined hormone and neurodivergent journey's too.  :::: Sophie is a Menopause and Hormone health educator & founder of Hormones on the blink.  Delivering CPD accredited menopause and hormone health training to workplaces and support to communities.

The Singapore Parliament passed the Cybersecurity (Amendment) Bill (the Bill) on 7 May 2024, amending the Cybersecurity Act 2018 (the Act). The Act is Singapore's legal framework for the supervision and maintenance of national cybersecurity by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA), setting out measures to prevent, manage and respond to cybersecurity threats and incidents, and the Bill seeks to extend the scope of the Act over new technologies and business models that have emerged over the past few years.In this PodChats for FutureCISO, Gaurav Keerthi, head of Advisory and Emerging Business at Ensign InfoSecurity, shares his views on what the amendment bill means to organizations in Singapore, and perhaps to those that operate in the ASEAN region.1.       Can you give us a background of the CSA-proposed Cybersecurity Amendment Bill? What are the main regulatory changes proposed and new requirements?2.       What will be the projected effects (both positive and negative) of this new law on Singapore enterprises? [Singapore CCOP]3.       Outside of the banking and financial services industry who follow stringent cybersecurity regulations, what kind of enterprises (type of businesses) will be most affected by such regulatory changes?4.       Speaking of compliance, what steps can enterprises take to comply with new requirements and regulations? To what extent will the amendments require changes in how organisations currently cybersecurity practices? 5.       Singapore has led the ASEAN region when it comes to cybersecurity readiness. How do you see these developments in Singapore influencing other regulators in ASEAN?6.       Finally, what is your advice for CISOs and CIOs as it relates to processing cybersecurity regulations in the years to come?

This week on #PropertyRoundup on iPropertyRadio.com, host Carol Tallon is joined by Alan McKenna, Director at REA Halnon McKenna. Alan talks through the mechanics of operating two agencies at opposite sides of the country (Dublin and Galway) and we explore his interesting business model of acquiring estate agencies when the owner wishes to retire. If you own your own agency and are thinking about an exit in the coming years, you won't want to miss this episode. 

To paraphrase Lenin (Vladimir, not John), “there are decades where nothing happens, and then there is NDC”. For those of us who have worked in travel tech for more than a few years, it may feel like decades are suddenly happening in months, if not weeks.And it's not just technology innovations like NDC and AI that are shaking things up. The pandemic gave many companies breathing room to experiment with new commercial models that give their businesses more solid footing to ride out unexpected economic dislocations like Covid, as well as more evolutionary changes to the industry.The agency model in particular (both corporate and leisure) is facing disruption from multiple angles. Suppliers are testing social commerce channels and moving budgets away from traditional paid advertising like Google and metasearch players. Loyalty programs are shifting from usage-based points earn to spend-based status tiers. Subscription models and membership programs are gaining traction in surprising new corners.What does all this turbulence mean for the traditional supplier, agency and distribution ecosystems, not to mention ad-based models like metasearch and Google that have dominated budgets? What will the travel world look like once these new commercial models take hold, and who will be the winners and losers?We'll talk to two experts who weigh in on some meaty topics: NDC to the rescue? The future of the GDS…is there one? The next gen distribution model: lower costs, higher prices, more value Subscription v. transaction models The impact of AI on new commercial models: packaging, personalization, ancillaries and service The emergence of social commerce channels and new types of travel sellers: is this the end of the OTA as we know it?Follows:Gilad Berenstein - hostCara Whitehill - hostJeff Klee - guestAlice Ferrari - guestGo Deeper:ASTA continues public fight with American Airlines - TravelWeeklyFor Amex GBT, NDC Takes A Village And 162 Items To Solve - The Beat [$]CitizenM Looks for Emotional Connections Through Fledgling Subscription Model - SkiftInfluencers and Social Commerce in Travel - PhocusWireTripadvisor Plus Is Case Study in Online Travel Hype - SkiftHow Influencer Content is Reaping Rewards for Travel Companies - PhocusWire

Everyone is adapting to the technology they need, in their work and life. We want you to have the best tools that will benefit you and your clients. In this episode, Ali Whitley discusses working with our mature clients. The Seniors Real Estate Specialist Designation (SRES®) is an amazing class that the Center for REALTOR® Development offers. This class discusses things you need to know. We discuss the technicalities of senior living, reverse mortgages, estates, taxes, and more. We also discuss helping our mature clients get established in communities and be connected in the ways that help them best. Thanks for joining us!   [2:22] Ali is an educator and loves all things education. She is happy to be the chair of the Emerging Business and Technology Forum for NAR this year. [4:56] A person of the same age could have a very different lifestyle than another person. It depends on your activity and health and your ability to be active. [8:16] Ali talks with clients about their interests. She finds out their activity level and the things they like to do. [9:07] Art museums, libraries, and different types of opportunities in your community may have senior or 50-plus programs. When you get plugged into something, you find more to do. Do pre-work and find links for your clients to find their way. [10:39] If we have things available for someone and we can start to identify it for them, their interests and their ability to meet people is going to “explode,” so they'll be able to be connected in their communities. [10:59] The Seniors Real Estate Specialist designation covers three generations: Gen X, Boomers, and the Silent Generation. These generations have different characteristics. They are very diverse in technology. [11:59] As real estate professionals, we help clients across any technology abilities, know where they are, and meet them there, encouraging them to use technology in their transactions and their lives. [12:20] Stereotypes are helpful for some conversations but don't ever over-assume things. Ali sees different generations using technology differently. [13:36] Video chats and social media are useful for people to keep that connection and feel that they're in the know with their community and their family. [15:18] Ali sees older people using video doorbells to keep an eye on who's coming up on their porch and when they're getting deliveries and having visitors. They're using health trackers and video medical appointments. [16:52] When Monica's parents find something that satisfies a need that they have determined, like their Ring doorbell, they are thrilled to have the technology. But they still don't want “all of that technology.” [20:15] We need to talk with our clients and learn their communication preferences. [20:40] Our young clients don't want to talk on the phone but our older clients want to talk on the phone and see us in person. This is a relationship-building business. We need to build the relationship in a way that the client is comfortable. [26:19] There are all sorts of opportunities to use technology to make connections but face-to-face or voice-to-voice are important for people to feel connected. [26:39] Ali is the chair of the Emerging Business and Technology Forum that works with the REACH program. The REACH program comes out of Second Century Ventures, the strategic investment arm of the National Association of REALTORS®. [28:08] NAR chooses both REACH commercial and residential companies for technology that may be utilized in homes or businesses. Ali recommends some digital technology clients can use.  [32:40] Ali suggests looking at the REACH program and Second Century Ventures to see all the REACH programs and classes. [34:58] The Seniors Real Estate Specialist is one of many excellent offerings and you can find out more at Learning.REALTOR.   Tweetables:   “A person of the same age could be in a very different lifestyle than another person. It really depends on your activity level, your health level; how you really feel about yourself, and your ability to have activity.” — Ali Whitley   “Maybe someone had a real interest in something particular and their job took them in a different direction. Now, as they're retiring, they can start to take those classes that they thought that they would enjoy.” — Ali Whitley   “As REALTORS®, we need to help clients across any technology abilities and we need to know where they are and meet them there and see if we can help to encourage new technology within their transactions.” — Ali Whitley   “They can see your smiling face on the video or they get to meet you in person and they get a feel for who you are, and then later, if … you're sending a text, or you're sending something through email, now they can put your face to it.” — Ali Whitley   Guest Links:   Ali Whitley, REALTOR® ABR, CIPS, CRS, GRI, SRES, SRS, AHWD, e-PRO, PSA, RENE, RSPS, SFR, C2EX Endorsed RE/MAX Crossroads Aliwhitley.com Prisid.io REACH Second Century Ventures REACH Program Companies nar.realtor/newsroom/second-century-ventures-announces-14-companies-for-2023-reach-scale-up-program   NAR Resource LinksSeniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) NAR NXT, The REALTOR® Experience   Additional Links:   Microcourses found at Learning.REALTOR.

The VP for automotive and smart mobility at research firm Gartner discusses how new functions-as-a-service business models and a Right To Repair Law are changing the way everyone thinks about car ownership.

Join Susan as she interviews Craig Weiss - a Venture-Capitalist, serial entrepreneur, and published author.  In this interview, Craig shares some of his predictions on emerging technologies that will revolutionize the world in the coming decades.   Craig says that there are complicated problems that need solutions that have yet to be developed.  But the good news is that these solutions ARE complicated - complexity prevents your competition from solving the problem that could make you successful.  If it were easy, everyone else would be doing it. Craig's company, Flagstaff Ventures, invests in early-stage consumer products and services.  He meets a lot of entrepreneurs and says that qualifying the entrepreneur is even more important than qualifying the product or service they are offering.  Craig feels a successful founder is someone who has passion and a “never quit” attitude.   However, a good founder must also be able to identify when it is OK to pivot when things are not working. Pivoting is not quitting, it is keeping your eyes on the big picture, and being willing to try something else to achieve your goals.   About Craig:  Craig has founded or co-founded half a dozen companies.  During his three and half years as President & CEO of NJOY, Inc. he led the company to a $1B valuation.  An inventor, Craig Weiss has 14 patents to his own name, including five for medical devices.   Craig is the Managing Member of Flagstaff Ventures, a Venture Capital firm focused on early-stage consumer products and services.  He is also the Co-Founder & CEO of venture-backed Retainer Club & Mouthguard Club.   Before becoming an entrepreneur, Craig Weiss was a patent attorney, where he focused on the drafting and prosecution of patent applications for medical device, e-commerce and business method inventions.   A published author, Craig co-authored I Am My Brother's Keeper, which features a foreword from Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu.  The book is also the subject of the Nancy Spielberg produced documentary, "Above & Beyond,” in which Craig appears as one of the historians.  Craig's newest book, "Fighting Back" was published on May 17, 2022.     Connect with Craig: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-weiss-9890127/ Websites: flagstaffventures.com retainerclub.com mouthguardclub.com fightingback.com   About The Host Susan Sly is the Cofounder and Co-CEO of RadiusAI, a tech investor, best-selling author, keynote speaker, entrepreneur and host of the highly acclaimed podcast – Raw and Real Entrepreneurship.

The impact of the pandemic means that in 18 months, we've moved from discussing theories around the future of work to debating the practicalities. Fully remote, fully back in the office, hybrid working, the discussion and the publicity around the decisions companies make will dominate the HR news cycle for months if not years to come. One of the key advantages of remote working is the ability to broaden talent pools across borders. However, this does come with complications. To discuss the challenges and advantages, my guests this week are Shane Nolan, Head of Technology & Emerging Business at IDA Ireland and Louise Kelly, a tax partner with Deloitte in Ireland. In the interview, we discuss:    ▪   The work of IDA Ireland    ▪   Productivity improvements from remote work    ▪   Enhancing skills and retraining    ▪   Tax implications of employers working remotely across borders    ▪   When is remote too remote?    ▪   From theory to practicalities    ▪   Regulatory and compliance issues    ▪   What will the next 12 - 18 months look like Listen to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.

In this episode of the Practice of Therapy Podcast, Gordon talks with Alison Pidgeon, LPC about growing your private practice by diversifying your income.  Alison and Gordon talk about what they have learned about growing private practices and then getting to the place where they both bought their own buildings. They also talk about some of the ways in which group practices can be formed and why they have chosen the business models they are using in their practices. Alison and Gordon talk about some of the things they have learned “the hard way” and what how they might have done differently in those beginning stages of their private practices. Meet Alison Pidgeon Alison Pidgeon, MA, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor and the owner of Move Forward Counseling (www.moveforwardlancaster.com) in Lancaster, PA. Her private practice,  which focuses on women's issues, currently consists of six other therapists and two assistants. Alison has recently purchased an office building to house her private practice and will be expanding to a total of 12 therapists in the fall of 2018. In addition, for the past two years, Alison has been working as a business consultant along with Joe Sanok, from Practice of the Practice, (http://www.practiceofthepractice.com/our-services/consulting-with-alison/) for other private practice owners. She loves being an entrepreneur and helping others achieve their dream of being their own boss. Alison's specialty as a consultant is how to have an insurance-based practice, helping those who are just starting out and how to grow from a solo to a group practice. Alison has garnered local media attention for her private practice on TV, radio and in print. She has been a featured guest on the Practice of the Practice podcast, Selling the Couch podcast, and The Therapist Experience podcast. In 2017 Move Forward Counseling won the “Emerging Business of the Year” Award from the Central Penn Business Journal. Buying a Building One of the big steps that Alison and Gordon talked about was the step they both took in buying an office space.  For many therapists and counselors, this step seems very intimidating. But if you think about it, it is really not that much different from buying a house and there are usually more financing options for commercial property.  Especially if you are willing to work with private investors. It's all a matter of doing the research and looking at options. Owning your private practice space, many times actually ends up being much more cost effective when you run the numbers.  Alison gave the example of a non-profit she is involved with. When they ran the numbers, they realized they had paid double what the building was worth through leasing it. Passive Income and Diversifying Income Streams One of the things that helps solidify growth in your practice comes from diversifying your streams of income. There are a lot of ways to do this. One is to create other less traditional products or services to offer clients. Groups, workbooks, seminars, and supervision are just a few. Another great way to create “passive income” is to add other counselors and therapists to form a group practice. What this does, of course, is allow the practice owner to reap the benefits and income from the efforts of others in exchange for providing a place for them to practice. Thinking Long-Term One of the “wish I had known…” issues that Alison mentioned, was she wish she had thought more long-term when she first started her private practice.  She would have spent more time thinking about growth and what that would look like. Especially in terms of adding other counselors. She also realized that she should have thought about what her practice would look like 3-5 years down the road. Insurance vs. Self-Pay One of the ongoing debates in the private practice space is if a practice should get on insurance panels or be strictly private pay. For Alison and Gordon, they do a combination of the two.  Alison talked about really understanding your “break even” point in terms of how much you need to be reimbursed to cover your practice's overhead and expenses. She only stays on the panels that meet or exceed this criteria. The other factor to consider when thinking about being on insurance panels or not, is knowing the demographics of your area and what people can generally afford.  Typically, rural areas are more insurance dependent and a clinician needs to accept insurance in order to get the volume of clients they need to sustain their practice. Group Practices and Their Structure Alison and Gordon talk about some of the ongoing discussions they have had in their mastermind groups around having group practices.  In particular, whether to follow a “1099 Contractor” model or a “W2 Employee” model. Ultimately, it is an individual decision based on the practice owner's preferences and how much oversight they want to have with their therapists. Other factors around this issue depend on state laws and what sort of corporate structure the practice has. In addition, the benefits and “perks” the practice owner wants to provide their employees.   There are any number of ways to set this up, from doing a “fee split” to a flat rate per case or giving a salary or hourly wage.  Again, how it is set up depends solely on individual preferences and business structure. Starting a Group vs. Working in a Group For many clinicians, the idea of being in private practice is very intriguing.  But for some, the idea of running a business is not that appealing. For these folks, joining a group practice really makes more sense.  But for those people that have a bit of an “entrepreneurial spirit” and enjoy the logistics of running a business, becoming a group owner makes more sense. Systems and Processes to Help You Grow One important piece of being able to have sustainable growth in a private practice is to have the systems and processes in place to support this. Alison talks about the importance of documenting your processes and having set systems that help you operate more on “auto-pilot” with your practice. Alison talks about the importance of being able to also collect data about your systems and processes.  For example, knowing how well your intake processes are working and the ability to retain clients and get new clients to actually book appointments. Other processes to focus on are with your onboarding processes for new therapists and making that as seamless as possible. The other very integral part of private practice systems and processes are having a reliable EHR system or other system (like Google G-Suite) that works well for you in your practice. Most EHR's are able to track data and give the reports you need to see how your practice is growing. Getting the Help You Need Finally, one of the things that always is a great ROI (return on investment) for most people in private practice is in doing some consulting and/or coaching with someone.  Alison and Gordon talk about the benefits and huge return they have gotten by being part of and also leading mastermind groups. It is a way to be with like-minded people that all have common goals for their practices.  It's usually the boost people need to take their practices to the next level.
