Eric Brown leads Developer Relations at BASE, Coinbase's L2. So when he says the chain sees over $4 trillion in monthly stablecoin payments and 25+ local stablecoins now circulate worldwide, it's worth interrogating closely.Jamie Crypto sits down with Eric at Consensus 2026 for a full read on what's actually shipping on BASE in 2026 — X402 as the default agent-payment rail, sub-cent fees and 5,000 TPS bursts, the Azul upgrade, the AI red team / blue team security flip, and why seven-plus local stablecoins are getting real point-of-sale adoption in South America while the U.S. lags.We cover:- The $4T monthly stablecoin payments figure (Eric's claim)- X402 and ~2M agent transactions in 30 days on BASE- 400M gas per block, sub-tenth-of-a-cent fees, 5,000 TPS bursts- DeFi security after a brutal month of hacks — AI's role on both sides- Why the agentic cohort is "completely unbanked already"- Morpho, 4% USDC yields, and what makes an onchain app stickyFilmed at Consensus 2026.Host: Jamie Redman

An underground forum post breaks down how hackers scan, exploit, and cash out on vulnerabilities — and it reads like a step-by-step guide. Meanwhile, Microsoft is catching heat for stonewalling a researcher who found real zero-days, and a new phishing campaign is hitting small businesses through the platforms they trust most. The OG crew — Joshua Schmidt, Eric Brown, and Nick Mellem — digs into this week's biggest cybersecurity headlines with sharp takes and real-world context that practitioners can actually use.

What happens when a deepfake video becomes probable cause? Law enforcement agencies are already grappling with AI-generated evidence, doxing attacks on officers, and a training gap that's growing wider every six weeks. If the justice system can't keep up with the AI threat curve, the consequences won't just be policy problems — they'll be people's lives. In this episode of The Audit, former firefighter-paramedic turned strategic communications consultant Braden Frame — founder of Modern Cartographers and Modern Fortis — joins co-hosts Joshua Schmidt, Eric Brown, and Nick Mellum to break down the rapidly evolving AI threat landscape facing law enforcement and public safety. Braden draws a sharp parallel between law enforcement's slow adoption of social media a decade ago and the AI reckoning happening right now — and why that delay could be catastrophic this time around. 

Philanthropy has a mindset problem, and it's harming the very communities it claims to support. But what if philanthropy shifted its perspectives to see people through their aspirations, contributions, and power instead of their challenges?Co-hosts Glen Galaich and Eric Brown sit down with Trabian Shorters, a leading social entrepreneur, founder of BMe Community, and developer of the award-winning cognitive framework Asset-Framing®. Together, they explore why Asset-Framing is far more than a communications strategy—and how it fundamentally shifts how the brain understands people, problems, and possibilities.Trabian challenges the fake rule that fear is the strongest motivator, making clear that fear may trigger an initial reaction, but it cannot move us toward justice, equity, or lasting change. From there, he reframes what philanthropy can become when it stops treating communities as problems to solve and starts investing in people as the protagonists of their own lives.

Nonprofit leaders are ringing alarm bells, but foundations are still deciding whether this moment is different enough to act. In this episode, Stupski Foundation CEO, Glen Galaich, and co-host Eric Brown sit down with Elisha Smith Arrillaga, Ph.D., vice president of research at the Center for Effective Philanthropy, to discuss what CEP's recent research reveals about the widening gap between how foundations think they are showing up and how nonprofits are experiencing this moment.Together, they dig into the findings in CEP's latest report, State of Nonprofits 2026, including rising deficits, CEO burnout, possible mergers, foundation caution, and the risks facing the people who rely on nonprofit services. Elisha challenges one of philanthropy's most familiar fake rules: that every urgent problem needs a long strategy process before funders can take action. Sometimes the data is already clear. Sometimes the need is immediate. And sometimes the bridge from foundation thinking to nonprofit reality is not another plan, but the courage to move resources now.

What would you do if ransomware told you not only that your data was gone — but that it was encrypted with a quantum-safe algorithm and you have 72 hours to pay? That's not a hypothetical anymore. In this live news episode of The Audit, co-hosts Joshua Schmidt, Eric Brown, and Nick Mellum are joined by IT Audit Labs member Bill Harris for a rapid-fire breakdown of the week's most important cybersecurity stories — and a few conversations that went places nobody expected. 

This week Sr. Brenda hosts a conversation with three men – Eric Brown, Mike Laurent and Andy Wells to discuss the male perspective in truth and service in a rapidly evolving world. They delve into how news consumption has changed, with a focus on the prevalence of social media and its consequences for public discourse. The panelists argue for the necessity of diverse conversations and authentic engagement to counteract the fragmentation of society. With personal anecdotes and professional insights, the conversation highlights the difficulties of adhering to integrity and honesty amidst vast misinformation.

LBA Realty's John Garrigan and Eric Brown and CBRE's Matt Carlson discuss the resilient drivers propelling growth in the San Diego market. They also make a compelling case for value-add office investments, dissect the nuances of industrial capital markets and explore the role of relationships in navigating opportunities.• Industrial leasing is gaining momentum.• A flight to quality still defines office demand.• Smart value‑add strategies can restore positive leverage in certain sectors.• In industrial & logistics, infrastructure, power and relationships are key.• San Diego's economic diversity lessens volatility.

Most organizations think they're protected. They're not. Microsoft Defender sounds solid on paper — but in the real world, it's letting phishing, malware, and business email compromise walk right through the door. In this episode of The Audit, the crew pulls back the curtain on one of the most exploited attack surfaces in any organization: email. Co-hosts Joshua Schmidt, Eric Brown, and Nick Mellem are joined by IT Audit Labs' own Cameron Birkland — fresh off three first-place CTF wins in Vegas — for a live walkthrough of Check Point Harmony Email, a tool that plugs directly into your Microsoft 365 environment and shows you exactly what your current setup is missing. 

This one hits different. It's not just about charts or indicators, it's about how you think when money's on the line. Eric Brown shares a real, no-filter look at what actually matters in trading, and it's probably not what most people expect.The biggest takeaway here is simple. Stop stressing over every little move. Pre-market spikes, midday drops, random noise… none of that matters if there's a solid plan in place. The edge comes from staying consistent and not letting emotions take over. That's where most traders fall apart.Eric's story makes it even more relatable. From a machinist mindset to trading with discipline, everything comes back to process, patience, and staying locked in. No shortcuts, no hype. Just doing the work and sticking to what actually works.Here's what really stood out:✅ Stop reacting to noise and stick to the plan✅ Focus on process, not outcome or hype✅ Manage risk like it actually matters✅ Build mental discipline before chasing profitsIf trading ever felt confusing or inconsistent, this conversation brings it back to what actually works. Clear thinking, strong habits, and executing without hesitation.Subscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense.

If you're wondering what it takes to trade an $80,000-a-year corporate career for the grit of the open road, listen to this episode with Eric Brown of JTP Transportation, as he shares his raw and unfiltered journey from selling security systems to building a powerhouse in the Philadelphia drayage market! Eric gets frank about the "invisible" hurdles of entrepreneurship, from emptying his 401(k) to navigating the high-stakes world of white-glove temperature-controlled logistics. We also dive deep into the importance of clean books, the reality of tax liens, and why having a "figure it out" mentality is non-negotiable if you want to survive the volatility of the freight industry. Whether you're an owner-operator looking to scale or a broker trying to understand the hustle behind the wheel, Eric's story of surrendering control to find true success is the wake-up call every transportation professional needs!   About Eric Brown Eric Brown is a supply chain leader, entrepreneur, and performance-driven thinker who built his career on one principle: execution over excuses. Starting with one truck in 1999, Eric grew his company into a multi-state operation servicing major ports from New York to Texas — helping transform the drayage industry in Philadelphia by shifting it from delays and excuses to speed, precision, and results. Eric is also a CEO, founder, associate pastor, motivational speaker, and MC who is passionate about people. He loves helping businesses and charities get started and thrive, bringing energy, clarity, and momentum wherever he goes. A husband to one wife, father of five, and grandfather of three, Eric's life is grounded in faith, family, and purpose. He speaks openly about his relationship with Jesus Christ — not religion, but real transformation — and challenges others to live authentically and grow in every area of life. With a passion for science, rockets, speed, and high performance, Eric brings a unique voice that blends faith, leadership, and execution.   Connect with Eric Website: https://www.jtptransportation.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericbrownjtp/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JtpTransportation  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jtptransportation  

Your organization may have hundreds of AI agents running right now that your security team doesn't know exist. Every single one is an identity. Every identity is an attack surface. In this episode of The Audit, co-hosts Joshua Schmidt, Eric Brown, and Nick Mellem sit down with Madhav Nakar, security researcher on the Phantom Labs team at BeyondTrust, to break down one of the most underexplored threats in enterprise security today: untracked AI agents creating exploitable "ghost identities." Madhav just returned from RSA — where he noticed every booth had an AI angle and a bubble forming — and he's here to cut through the noise with hard-hitting research and practical guidance. 

What if the tools protecting your organization were the ones compromising it? In this episode of The Audit, co-hosts Joshua Schmidt, Eric Brown, and Nick Mellem — joined by IT Audit Labs team member Samuel Cala live in the St. Paul studio — unpack a wave of cybersecurity stories that all converge on one unsettling theme: trust is being exploited at every layer of the stack. From an Iranian-linked APT group targeting U.S. healthcare infrastructure, to a sophisticated GitHub Actions supply chain attack that backdoored an AI coding library used by thousands of developers — the crew breaks down exactly how threat actors are weaponizing the tools, platforms, and third-party services organizations depend on daily. They also dive into a disturbing revelation about AI-powered audit certifications: one company allegedly fabricated compliance evidence to hand out ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications at a fraction of the cost — raising serious questions about what those credentials are actually worth. In this episode: 

It's deja vu all over again – we asked back General Counsel, Mississippi Department of Public Safety, Eric Brown because there were several new driving license regulations we couldn't get to when he was here last.Didn't we just have Eric on our show? Yes! Eric was on March 5th but we had so much we wanted to cover we brough him back today.You think you know the rules of the road? But do you have the rule book? Sometimes nonfiction reading is fun – check out the Dept of Pubic Safety's Driver's License Manual from their website In Legal Terms, the show where we break down the law, explain how it works, and help make it a little less intimidating for everyday Mississippians hosted by attorney Adam Kilgore. legalterms@mbponline.orgIf you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please consider contributing to MPB: https://donate.mpbfoundation.org/mspb/podcast You can listen LIVE to us from the MPB Public Media app or from MPBonline.org/radioThursdays, following our over-the-air broadcast, you can hear Next Stop Mississippi on MPB Think Radio at 4pm Central.

We're excited to share a special feed swap this week from our friends, Eric Brown and Kirk Brown, on the Let's Hear It podcast! In this episode, you'll get to hear directly from Glen Galaich and frequent Break Fake Rules co-host and Let's Hear It host, Eric Brown, as they talk about Glen's newly released book, CONTROL: Why Big Giving Falls Short. Order your copy of Glen's book, CONTROL: Why Big Giving Falls Short. Join Glen on the book tour!CONTROL: Why Big Giving Falls Short, out now, makes an argument as simple as it is explosive: when a donor takes a tax deduction to give money away, they've made a deal with the public. That money isn't theirs anymore. But the system we've built lets donors park billions in foundations and donor-advised funds indefinitely — dribbling out 5 cents on the dollar while the rest sits on Wall Street going absolutely nowhere.Glen isn't an outside critic. He's a sitting foundation CEO who spent years reinforcing every rule he's now trying to break. Eric read an early draft, argued with him about it, and told him his central framing was too polite. Glen ignored him. They pick up that conversation here.Follow Let's Hear It and leave a rating so more people can find the show.Learn about the Stupski Foundation and Glen Galaich.

A $25 million wire transfer. A fake CFO. An entire executive team that didn't exist. This is what modern cybercrime looks like — and your firewall won't stop it. In this episode of The Audit, co-hosts Joshua Schmidt, Eric Brown, and Nick Mellum sit down with James McDowell — forensic psychology expert, cybercrime researcher, and adjunct professor at American Military University — to explore the chilling intersection of AI, human psychology, and cybercrime. James introduces the concept of "cognitive surrender": the slow, dangerous transfer of our thinking to AI tools, and how threat actors are exploiting it at scale. What You'll Learn: What "cognitive surrender" is and why it's cybercrime's greatest accelerant How a $25M deepfake scam bypassed every red flag a trained employee had The psychology behind System 1 vs. System 2 thinking — and why attackers time their strikes around your lunch break Why voice passwords and family code phrases are becoming critical security tools How FraudGPT and dark-web AI models are lowering the barrier for cybercriminals What James's wave theory reveals about how we trust — and how that trust gets exploited 

This week, the co-hosts of Break Fake Rules are taking control of the show to talk behind Glen Galaich's back about his new book, CONTROL: Why Big Giving Falls Short, out today!Eric Brown, principal of Brown Bridge Strategies and co-host of Let's Hear It, locks Glen out of the Break Fake Rules studio to bring you a conversation with all of your favorite co-hosts: Jamie Allison, executive director of the Walter and Elise Haas Fund; Ralph Lewin, executive director of the Peter E. Haas Jr. Family Fund; and Dr. Carmen Rojas, president and CEO of the Marguerite Casey Foundation.Together, they dig into the book— what resonated, where they differed, and what it made them reconsider in their own work. What starts as a conversation about CONTROL opens into something larger: a candid conversation about leadership, power, accountability, and what philanthropy owes the communities it claims to serve. They also make a compelling case for why CONTROL is worth reading. Not because it offers easy agreement, but because it forces harder questions to the surface so we can change Big Giving for good.

What if the device keeping you alive was also a cybersecurity vulnerability? That's not a hypothetical — it's Victor Barge's reality. In this episode of The Audit, IT Audit Labs' Global Delivery Director Victor Barge shares the story of his sudden cardiac event and the life-saving defibrillator now implanted in his chest and the eye-opening security questions that followed. Co-hosts Joshua Schmidt, Eric Brown, and Nick Mellum connect Victor's story to the real-world cyber risks organizations ignore every single day. What you'll learn in this episode: How modern pacemakers and defibrillators transmit biometric data 24/7 — and what happens if that data is compromised Why the 2017 Abbott pacemaker recall of 500,000 devices is a warning the industry hasn't fully heeded The parallel between reactive healthcare and reactive cybersecurity — and why waiting costs you more Why billion-dollar organizations are still storing passwords in spreadsheets in 2026 What continuous monitoring in IT security can learn from real-time cardiac telemetry Whether you're a CISO, IT auditor, or just someone wearing a smartwatch, this episode will make you rethink what "sensitive data" really means. 

This talk will introduce one of the most arresting figures of ancient Greek philosophy, Diogenes of Sinope, the founder of Cynicism. Diogenes is the subject of some entertaining stories, which will be shared, but he is also a figure of great importance to ancient Greek and Roman culture, and a figure whose provocations retain their punch. Several provocative features of Diogenes' Cynicism will be discussed, including especially the call to live as a citizen of the world.

What does it take to go undercover with international cybercriminals — with no backup, no safe house, and no script? In this episode of The Audit, Richard LaTulip, Field CISO at Recorded Future and former U.S. Secret Service agent, pulls back the curtain on three years of undercover operations spanning Thailand, Dubai, Macau, and China. From buying stolen credit card data in bulk to handing cheap government-issued laptops to disappointed hackers, Richard shares the raw, unfiltered reality Hollywood never shows you. Co-hosts Joshua J Schmidt, Eric Brown, Nick Mellem, and Jen Lotze dig into the psychology of social engineering, the stark differences between nation-state and financially motivated threat actors, and why your employees are simultaneously your greatest asset and your biggest vulnerability. Richard breaks down how SolarWinds revealed the patience of nation-state operations, why cultural awareness is a cybersecurity weapon, and how organizations can shift security from a cost center to a value driver. 

What happens when someone born into a family fortune decides that keeping control of that wealth is the real problem? In this episode, Stupski Foundation CEO Glen Galaich and co-host Eric Brown, principal of Brown Bridge Strategies and co-host of Let's Hear It, sit down with Austria-based activist Marlene Engelhorn, co-founder of Tax Me Now. Marlene inherited many millions of dollars and chose to give most of it away by creating a Citizens' Council of 50 everyday Austrians to decide where the money should go. Together, they dig into what it means to institutionalize philanthropy, and what it takes to dismantle it.Glen and Eric start with a jaw-dropping snapshot of the sector from the Center for Effective Philanthropy report: A Sector in Crisis. In it, 40% of surveyed nonprofit leaders say funders are less helpful now, while 20% of foundations believe they have little responsibility to help nonprofits navigate this moment. It's a stark disconnect: foundations feel secure while nonprofits face existential crises. Against that backdrop, Marlene talks about “rich fragility,” the ways wealth holders defend their privilege, and why she believes any philanthropic approach that keeps people dependent on private goodwill misses the point.

If you answered "yes," you'd be right, because this film doesn't just feature a teacher/student relationship but also murder, a mysterious killer, and many lives being wrapped up in the ongoing entertainment and beer specials at Campus Pub! The was directed by Howard Avedis, who directed the similarly-plotted movie THE TEACHER in 1974, which we discuss along with the complexities of owning a yacht and all the shellacking that is involved, the lack of locations involved in the movie, and the giallo vibes the movie gives, including an unusual voice of the killer! Also: what makes a handyman? Do you have to be smart to be a professor? And what's the place to feed your dog? THEY'RE PLAYING WITH FIRE has a place you've maybe never thought about! Enjoy the theme song, which this film has because most movies of the 1980s did, and is a sure-fire contender for a Worldie later this year! Should we record the Worldies at a Campus Pub? We'd be fools not to!  Listen as we start #Sextember 3 in style, at least until Mom and Grandma kick us out!  For all the shows in Someone's Favorite Productions Podcast Network, head here: https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/.

Meet Eric

In this episode, we talk with Eric Brown about Plato's views on freedom, moral psychology, and responsibility.Eric's website: https://sites.google.com/view/ericbrownphilosophy/homeEric's entry on Plato's Republic in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/plato-ethics-politics/Twitter: https://twitter.com/thefreewillshowInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefreewillshow/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Free-Will-Show-105535031200408/

Eric Brown vividly recalls his trial by fire at MicroStrategy. Joining a subsidiary, he expected to help deploy hundreds of millions from a planned secondary raise. Instead, “the parent company had a restatement…raised zero,” he tells us. Elevated to CFO, he faced layoffs of two-thirds of staff and operating margins at -40%. Over three years, Brown led a turnaround to +30% margins and a market cap recovery from $55 million to more than $1 billion. “Nothing really phases me,” he says of the experience.That resilience shaped how he later embraced growth. At Tanium, he oversaw hyperbolic expansion—ARR surging from $8 million to over $220 million in three years—while remaining operating cash-flow positive. At Electronic Arts, he guided the transformation from disc-based game sales to digital distribution. And at Informatica, he achieved what he once missed at another firm: leading a successful $1 billion IPO.Now at Cohesity, Brown sees a new frontier in AI. Comparing it to earlier waves like the internet and cloud, he emphasizes the capital intensity and strategic importance of data. Training large language models will be limited to “maybe eight to ten long-term” entities worldwide, he tells us. For Cohesity, which secures and curates customer data, AI offers both internal efficiencies—like case resolution and policy querying—and external growth through its Gaia platform.From existential crisis to IPO triumphs, Brown frames AI as the next defining wave. “The broad-based applicability is extraordinary,” he tells us, adding that the real battle will be for privileged data.CFOTL: Thank you for that perspective. You revealed to us pretty much what Cohesity is up to, and maybe you can tell us a little bit about the acquisition last year of Veritas. After that was announced, it was said you were now the largest data protection software provider by market share. How has that transformed your business strategy or competitive positioning?Brown: First of all, this transaction is a landmark deal—something that would make an amazing business school case study. To set it up: Cohesity, a private company with about $550 million in GAAP run-rate revenue, had just reached break-even. Then we bought 72% of Veritas in a carve-out from a private entity. That move doubled our size—Veritas had roughly $1.1 billion in GAAP revenue.You ask, how does a $500 million company buy a $1.1 billion company? The answer is you need a compelling case and a lot of capital. The case was horizontal consolidation: Veritas had an incredible install base but an older-generation product, while Cohesity had a next-gen hyper-converged product. Together, we could offer something better. With 4,000 Cohesity customers and 9,000 from Veritas—and only 2% overlap—we created a highly complementary enterprise customer base.To finance it, we essentially became a deal-specific private equity company, raising $950 million of equity and $2.8 billion of debt. We closed the deal in December last year. Since then, we've integrated at record speed—three to four times faster than you'd normally see in an M&A transaction. Every system has converged except customer care, which will be complete by November. Customer response has been strong, and the original thesis—that we'd be better together with a stronger roadmap and a future-proofed Veritas base—has proven absolutely true. This wasn't just financial engineering; the combined product value proposition is rock solid, and it's been great to see that play out.
