Send us Fan MailAI can write your emails, summarize your meetings, and spin up a strategy deck in minutes, but it cannot do the one thing that actually determines outcomes: execute. Grant McGaugh sits down with Peter De la Torre, a longtime executive and the creator behind the Magic of 13 Weeks, to confront a brutal truth leaders need to hear. Most teams don't have a knowledge problem. They have an execution problem, and the gap between knowing and doing is where goals go to die.We dig into the hidden “blind spots” that sabotage implementation, including AI abdication, when companies invest in artificial intelligence but ignore the human habits required to make it work. We also break down the 12-month mirage that turns yearly planning into annualized lethargy, plus the convenience of busy, where meetings and inbox churn replace results. Peter shares a clear rule of thumb for productivity and business growth: protect the time that drives revenue-producing activities or results-producing activities, and automate the rest.The conversation moves from tactics to identity: red ocean competition versus blue ocean creation, personal vision that creates an emotional stake, and ruthless honesty as the foundation for real change. Peter challenges the usual language around accountability, arguing that ownership is the only lever that consistently works, then adds a practical tool to keep execution real: predictive scorekeeping built on lead indicators, like a scoreboard that tells you whether you're winning before the quarter ends.If you want a repeatable execution framework that makes strategy real, press play now. Subscribe, share this with a leader who's stuck in “busy,” and leave a review with the one execution habit you're committing to next.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

I was kindly invited to interview the curators of Royal Observatory Greenwich to celebrate the 350th Anniversary of the first Astronomer Royal, John Flamsteed, moving in. I got to explore the whole museum, and then sat down for a chat with two curators: Senior Curator Dr Louise Devoy, and Daisy Chamberlain, Curator of First Light. The Royal Observatory is open to the public, and well worth a visit! https://www.rmg.co.uk/royal-observatory Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dark seasons don't have to be the end of the story. Chuck shares how one difficult situation became an opportunity to bring hope to someone else. Sometimes the greatest thing we can offer isn't advice or answers, it's simply being a friend. A kind word, a listening ear, and choosing to walk alongside someone can make more of a difference than we realize. As followers of Christ, we're called to love others well, even when life is hard. You never know how God might use your willingness to simply be there. "Carry one another's burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." — Galatians 6:2

Trent Kusters chats with Hakan Abrak, CEO & Co-Owner of IO Interactive. Hakan is also the Game Director on IOI's take on the Bond legacy with 007 First Light. Together they discuss how IOI met with MGM and the Ian Fleming estate to first pitch the project; the responsibilities they felt to stay true to the Bond IP; balancing dialogue and humor and how that differs from film to games; the casting process of finding a new Bond; and what they learned from the Hitman series that informed the design of a 007 experience.

Send us Fan MailMost security teams keep buying tools and still feel behind. That's not because you picked the “wrong” scanner or missed the latest AI feature. It's because many organizations are trying to secure software like it's a one-time project instead of a repeatable manufacturing process. I'm joined by Darius Radford, founder and CEO of Knights Watch Cyber, to make that idea concrete and practical for any software-driven business. Darius breaks down why applications, APIs, CI/CD pipelines, cloud platforms, open source dependencies, and identity are the real battlefield now. He shares the core insight behind what he calls the Secure Software Factory: software isn't “written” anymore, it's manufactured. When you adopt a factory mindset, you build in quality control, governance, automation, standards, metrics, and feedback loops so secure software development becomes consistent instead of heroic. We also walk through the four capabilities he sees as non-negotiable: orchestrated delivery, developer-centric application security tooling, supply chain and artifact management governance, and unified risk correlation that turns endless security data into real context. We go straight at the AI era too. Developers and AI will build the next generation of products together, which makes AI security governance and testing even more urgent. Darius gives practical guardrails for AI-generated code, including input validation, session management, authentication and authorization checks, and permission modeling. We also talk about how a mature DevSecOps approach can help you win deals by proving security by design with repeatable metrics and alignment to common risk frameworks like OWASP. If you build software, lead engineering, or sell into security-conscious customers, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share this with a builder on your team, and leave a review with your biggest question about secure software development, what are you struggling to make repeatable?Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

How’s everyone holding up? You know, with uhhh, all the recent news pouring in from Sony regarding their upcoming departure from physical media and Microsoft’s uhhh, well, departure from reality after slaughtering over 1,600 jobs, with more to cut on the way, in the same week they shared the goal to service over a billion players… Shit sucks, yeah, but there’s still hope to take stock in, like the steadily growing unionization across various game development and media jobs in the industry, and the rapid progression that indie games are making across the video game marketplace, large and small—there really are things to still take joy in! Aside from that, George, Ed, and new friend and guest on this week’s episode, Jake of the Press B to Cancel Podcast, also share their own coping mechanisms to the current state of games, like the never-ending journey to tackle their giant libraries of video games, and the thousands of more retro games they have yet to play thanks to the new translation and emulation efforts being fostered by the gaming enthusiast community at large! So, aside from the news, the panel for this episode of Press Pause Radio have also played an ass-load of games that they want to talk about, like Star Fox (2026), Star Fox 64, Magic: The Gathering-Foundations, 007 First Light, Forza Horizons 6, The Adventure of Little Ralph, Pokémon GO Fest 2026, Mina the Hollower, Mega Man 2, Veritas Tales: Witch of the Dark Castle, and much more! So gird your bits and grab your favorite guilty pleasure as Press Pause Radio leads you on a 2-hour-ish journey built with some hope, cope, and a little (or a lot) of edibles to champion you on this hot summer day!

A band that adopts a highway, cleans it with fans, then goes straight back to building a tightly synced live show is the kind of story we can't stop talking about. I'm joined by Rex Larkman, drummer for Tropidelic, for a conversation that moves from Cleveland pride to the real mechanics of modern touring, with plenty of laughs and hard-earned lessons in between. We get into the Cleveland music scene and how a “Lake Erie ocean” mindset can fuel a band whose sound blends reggae rock, funk, hip-hop, and high-energy drumming. Rex breaks down the drummers who shaped him, from Neil Peart and Trey Cool to Joey Jordison and Carter Beauford, and explains how he approaches recording versus performing so the parts serve the song but the stage still hits like a rush. Then we go deep on the gear and the why behind it: click track philosophy, backing tracks used as layered support rather than shortcuts, and Rex's practical Roland SPD-SX setup with count-offs and a kill switch for the nights when tech fights back. We also talk tour life, Warped Tour chaos, rain-soaked shows, and the surreal feeling of playing Red Rocks, plus the “basement of Red Rocks” vibe at The Caverns. We wrap with Tropidelic's new album First Light, DIY music video production, and a shout-out to the unsung heroes behind every great show. If you like artist interviews, touring stories, drumming talk, and behind-the-scenes music production, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review.

In this epsiode Chuck reflects on a peace that isn't dependent on circumstances, but one that's found through faith in the Lord. In a world full of uncertainty, true peace comes from trusting the One who never changes. Join Chuck as he shares how a relationship with Christ brings a calm that the world simply cannot offer. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

Send us Fan MailAI is getting faster, cheaper, and easier to access, but that doesn't mean it's safe or ready to run your business unattended. We talk with Wilfred Morgan, an AI systems architect working at the front edge of enterprise AI automation and multi-agent orchestration, about what actually matters when you move beyond prototypes and put AI agents into production. If you've ever wondered why an AI rollout can look “successful” on a dashboard while quietly failing in the real world, this conversation is for you.We break down the jump from prompt-driven generative AI to agentic AI: systems that don't just write a good email, but can execute tasks, pull from multiple sources, and operate like structured digital workers. That power comes with a dependency most teams underestimate: context architecture. Clean data, clear processes, and well-curated knowledge artifacts become the fuel, and legacy data becomes drag. We also talk about the competitive reality that AI-native companies can build modern workflows from day one while larger organizations often wrestle with legacy systems, governance, and compliance overhead.Then we go straight at the risk side: subtle errors, misplaced trust, and why confidence can trick humans into believing incorrect outputs. Wilfred shares a practical evaluation-first mindset inspired by high-stakes domains like aviation and healthcare, plus a grounded checklist for small business owners using systems thinking to map the customer journey and decide where humans must stay in the loop.If this helped you think more clearly about AI automation, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more builders and leaders can find it.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

This week on PS THIS IS AWESOME, Fred talks about finally beating Bramble: The Mountain King and hopping back into the action with Battlefield 6, Jake talks about his last jam of 007 First Light before the guys dive into one of the biggest PlayStation stories in years.Sony has officially confirmed that beginning in January 2028, all new first-party PlayStation games will release digitally only, signaling the end of physical game discs. While the move has felt inevitable for years, the announcement sparked passionate debate about game ownership, preservation, collecting, and what this means for the future of the PlayStation brand.That naturally leads into a conversation about the PlayStation 6, with recent reports suggesting the console has slipped to a 2029 launch window. If those reports are accurate, could Sony's next console be fully digital—and could it also become the most expensive PlayStation ever?The guys also break down the July PlayStation Plus Essential lineup featuring Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (2023), For the King II, and CrossCode, discuss Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Remaster finally making its way to PS5 after a year on Xbox, and wrap things up with thoughts on Unhinged on Netflix.As always, expect plenty of PlayStation discussion, industry speculation, and a few laughs along the way.Visit www.patreon.com/psthisisawesome to support the show and help us continue producing the content you love!Please, if you enjoyed the content — or even if you didn't quite enjoy this one — come back.

In today's Daily Fix:In an interview with Bloomberg, Xbox boss Asha Sharma has admitted Game Pass was in a period of decline when she took over for former head Phil Spencer. But now they seemed to have stopped the bleeding, after dropping the price of the service and removing Call of Duty as a Day One title. Still, Xbox has admitted that the previous strategy of pumping money and resources into Game Pass has not paid off, and are now in the process of offloading some of the studios they've acquired to boost the service's value. In other news, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag - Resynced has already sold more in pre-orders than Ubisoft's other pirate game, Skull and Bones, has sold in its lifetime. And finally, IO Interactive has closed one of its studios—despite having a hit with 007: First Light—after Xbox funding for an upcoming game was pulled.

Michael, Evan, Pax, and Rob talk about beans, Disclosure Day, Mandalorian and Grogu, Masters of the Universe, Supergirl, opera, Spider-Noir, touring Hawaiʻi, and the 007: First Light video game.

Roberto and Jon are back for another unscripted Tailoring Talk Magazine catch-up, recorded from two very different locations: Roberto at home and Jon sitting in a hot car in a country park, trying to escape the sounds of barbecues, dogs, children and general British summer chaos.The conversation starts with Roberto's new Arsenal Women Trailblazers podcast, why he's committed to building a consistent space for Arsenal Women fans, and how that sits alongside the usual Tailoring Talk mix of style, tech, cars, culture and general nonsense.From there, Roberto and Jon get into the rising cost of consumer technology, including MacBooks, iPads, Apple TV, games consoles, Steam hardware, PlayStation, Xbox and whether Apple's next wave of products could push more people into keeping older devices for longer. Roberto explains why he's trying to use what he already owns, including an old Canon DSLR and his Omega Seamaster, rather than constantly upgrading everything.They also talk Apple Watch battery life, the action button, Shazam, gaming, Nintendo Switch 2, the problems facing Xbox, and whether AI is quietly making every gadget more expensive.The second half moves through cycling, e-bikes, road bikes, mental health, summer fitness, Jon's camping dilemma, the brilliance of Sugar on Apple TV, Colin Farrell's wardrobe, Supergirl costume design, Tank Girl nostalgia, 007 First Light, and why combustion engine performance cars may suddenly be holding their value better than expected.There's also a look at Roberto's BMW M2, the reality of car ownership, salary sacrifice EVs, whether people actually need cars anymore, and why the answer depends entirely on your lifestyle.A wide-ranging, funny and very Tailoring Talk conversation covering Apple, AI, gadgets, gaming, watches, cameras, cycling, TV, films, cars, pets, camping and the strange business of trying to live a slightly more analogue life in an increasingly expensive digital world.

Most fences aren't made of wood or wire. Some are invisible. This week Chuck reflects on the unseen boundaries the Lord places in our lives. Just as an invisible fence protects without always being seen, God often guides, redirects, and guards us in ways we don't immediately recognize. We may not always understand why He says "no," changes our path, or asks us to wait, but His boundaries are never meant to hold us back. They're there to keep us close to Him and walking in His will. "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'"  — Isaiah 30:21

Send us Fan MailAI is moving faster than most organizations can govern, and that gap is where the real danger lives. From Omaha, I sit down with Naresh Samlal, CEO of Cloud Source, to talk about the side of AI that rarely makes headlines: what happens when employees upload sensitive files into public AI tools, vendors promise the moon, and leadership is left trying to protect data they can no longer see.We break down why AI supercharges both innovation and cybersecurity risk, especially for regulated industries like healthcare, legal, and financial services. Naresh shares what he's seeing from customers who love the productivity boost but fear giving away their “data gold,” and we explore a different model: bringing AI to your data in a private cloud so it stays containerized, controlled, and governed. We also talk about why the market is shifting back toward privatizing data, how small language models fit into that trend, and what practical guardrails need to exist before you scale anything.Then we go one level deeper into agentic AI. Automation can look perfect on Monday and turn into a mess by Friday if you trust it blindly. Naresh lays out a simple governance reality check: if you can't shut it down in 60 seconds or less, you've got a governance problem. If you care about AI security, private cloud strategy, managed services, and protecting intellectual property while still moving fast, this conversation will sharpen how you think and how you lead.

The EXP is back, and back in style! Taylor and Ian welcome community member and James Bond superfan Jordan AKA CreamLord to discuss the smash hit game of 2026; 007 First Light. So kick back with that martini and listen in to our classic "spoilercast" most commonly known as The Experience Point.#007FirstLight #TheSoloGamerPodcast #GameSpoilercast #007FirstLightReview

On this week's episode, Nathan and Riley are joined by Wes Fenlon of PC Gamer to discuss his new project: Warp Point, a web 1.0-style webring of video game blogs for the modern era. We discuss how the current internet is dying while a new one struggles to be born and whether or not newer generations will take to a format with which most millennials are intimately acquainted. Does that even matter, though, or is a fixation on numbers and scale one of the main reasons the modern internet turned out so rancid in the first place? Then we move on to the news of the week: Xbox layoffs haven't even happened yet, but they're already causing turmoil for companies like Hitman and 007 First Light maker IO Interactive, and—on the other side of our rapidly escalating industry collapse—Sony announced that it's phasing out physical discs entirely, a quake that will surely be followed by countless ripples. To cheer ourselves up, we invent the ultimate video game controller, which doubles as the world's most complicated guitar.Credits- Hosts: Nathan Grayson, Riley MacLeod, and special guest Wes Fenlon- Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude- Subscribe to Aftermath!About The ShowAftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post. Each week, games journalism veterans Luke Plunkett, Nathan Grayson, Chris Person, Riley MacLeod, and Gita Jackson – though not always all at once, because that's too many people for a podcast – break down video game news, Remember Some Games, and learn about Chris' frankly incredible number of special interests. Sometimes we even bring on guests from both inside and outside the video game industry! I don't know what else to tell you; it's a great time.

Things don't look great for console and game makers right now. With Xbox and PlayStation sales flagging, Microsoft preparing for big layoffs in its gaming division, and the price of everything on the rise, maybe it makes sense to save money where you can. You know, like making discs? David and Nilay discuss the end of the physical video game, before wondering whether Microsoft might be getting ready to get rid of Xbox altogether. After that, they talk about the new wave of hardware for AI coders, and the ongoing attempt to replace your laptop keyboard with... something, plus the latest iPhone 18 rumors and leaks. Finally, it's time for the Hype Desk, Brendan Carr is a Dummy, some breaking SpaceX phone news, and some truly wild BMW headlights.

Send us Fan MailIf your teams are shipping fast but the business still feels stuck, the problem probably is not talent or tooling. It is ownership. Grant McGaugh talks with five-time founder and Full Scale CEO Matt Watson about why companies quietly trade ownership for activity, then wonder why outcomes stall even when the roadmap stays full.We get practical about personal branding and LinkedIn strategy, too. Matt shares how he built an audience of more than 70,000 followers by showing up with a clear point of view, earning trust, and avoiding the spammy playbook that floods inboxes. If you sell a service, lead a team, or run a startup, you will hear why being “best known” can matter more than being “best,” and how thought leadership turns into a real pipeline when you do it with consistency.Then we go inside the product-driven leadership mindset behind Matt's book, Product Driven: Reconnect Engineers to Customers, Kill the Assembly-Line Handoffs, and Replace Ticket Management with Business Problem Solving. We also tackle AI in software engineering and why faster code does not equal faster innovation when bureaucracy and unclear decisions create friction. Matt breaks down the leadership essentials of vision, focus, and clarity, plus what it takes to scale through delegation without becoming the hero bottleneck.Subscribe for more conversations on leadership, brand, and growth, share this with a founder or engineering leader, and leave a quick review if it helped. What is the biggest thing blocking ownership on your team right now?Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

  This week on First Light, Chuck revisits the verse that started it all: "His mercies are new every morning." In a world that constantly pulls our attention in every direction, we're reminded that no matter what yesterday held, God's faithfulness never changes. Every sunrise is another opportunity to trust Him, lean on His grace, and begin again.

This week on The Expansion Pass, we're tackling one of the biggest questions facing the gaming industry: is gaming becoming too expensive? Microsoft has announced significant Xbox console price increases, Grand Theft Auto VI is launching at $80, and Nintendo's Switch 2 continues to post impressive early sales despite rising hardware costs. We discuss what these changes mean for players, whether premium pricing is becoming the new normal, and how publishers are adapting to an increasingly expensive market. We also share our impressions of Star Fox and 007 First Light, discuss the surprising value proposition of the Steam Machine, examine Bungie's latest layoffs and Marathon's uncertain future, and look at why Nintendo's first-party strategy continues to drive hardware sales. In this episode: Xbox console price increases explained GTA VI's $80 launch price Switch 2 sales momentum Steam Machine pricing reactions Star Fox review impressions 007 First Light impressions Bungie layoffs & Marathon Nintendo's first-party strategy What we've been playing If you enjoy thoughtful gaming discussions without the console war noise, subscribe to The Expansion Pass on your favorite podcast platform and join us live each week on YouTube.

For Semiotician Uklan Tel, the discovery of the object in the vaults of the New Archives was a gift he could scarcely have hoped for. The Holy City, walled and impenetrable, had fascinated him for so long. He'd pored over the Marieldan documents and artifacts that the Archives had collected over the years so many times that his name repeated in the access cards like a prayer . But here was something new - misfiled, overlooked - that had evaded his eye all this time. He was starting to take notes for a book. We could not be more excited to unveil the Marielda 10th Anniversary Vinyl Soundtrack edition in all its unfolding, kaleidoscopic color, and let you know that it is now available to preorder at lostincult.co.uk/marielda. A very limited number of signed copies still remain, to be followed by a second, unsigned run. This extra-special edition, which began in early ideas and sketches six long years ago, is based on concepts by Annie Johnston-Glick and illustrated by Elemei, and is created in collaboration with the British publisher and designworks Lost in Cult. The centerpiece, alongside the full Marielda soundtrack, is the "star book", an unfolding, layered diorama showing four scenes from that fateful High Sun Day, secured by a red ribbon. This object exists in-fiction and tells a story, discovered in the cavernous vaults of The New Archives by Semiotician Uklan Tel, and shipped (much to the chagrin of the Archives' Exceptional Loans division) to a friend in Velas. In addition to the vinyl and star book, contained inside are two enamel pins showing coinage of ancient Hieron, as well as five bone-white d6 dice emblazoned with the sigil of the second god to rule the holy city. Alongside Tel's covering letter, you can also find eight pieces of Marieldan paper ephemera: an undelivered postcard bought by a holidaymaker at a pleasure garden, a double-sided broadsheet of Marielda's newspaper "The Charioteer", and six other mysterious pieces from the City of First Light at a time of great change. Oh, and there's also a 7" vinyl with a plain red label, and we'll say no more on that for now. We've already been blown away by yesterday's response to this project from our Patrons, which has really helped demonstrate that there's an audience for physical media projects from Friends at the Table. It has been an absolute joy to return to this world in collaboration with such incredible artists and designers. Writing in character as gods, citizens, and tourists to the holy city (as well as people thousands of years later, trying to make sense of what they hold in their hands) has been a real treat and we are so excited to finally - finally! - get to share it with you.

PlayStation Network has once again been targeted by nefarious actors, this time exposing flaws in Sony's online infrastructure that we never even considered. If you've noticed weird games popping-up in your recently played list, titles that don't belong in your library, cluttered PSN widgets, and other oddities, you were affected. And while Sony seems to have begun to mend the issue, it feels like they're unable to accept their solemn corporate obligation to protect their customers. Will they ever even publicly admit their problems, nonetheless solve all of them? We discuss. Plus: Other news! Grand Theft Auto VI's pre-orders are imminent, rumors are circulating about a potential delay of PlayStation 6, Housemarque talks about its post-Saros future, Halo: Campaign Evolved's Trophies have been surreally revealed, Mark Hamill is set to appear in Twisted Metal's third season on Peacock, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Is PlayStation at risk of losing its hard-earned prestige? Why aren't more at-risk studios sold instead of shuttered? Should Capcom get more credit for their runaway success with RE Engine? Will Dustin ever return to the show, or will Sacred forever move forward as a duo?
