As the space ecosystem continues to expand, the sector has become increasingly filled with new suppliers, manufacturers, and operators. However, while this development has led to the introduction of new technologies, it has also greatly expanded space's cyberattack surface. In this week's episode, host Maria Varmazis sits down with Jen Sovada, General Manager of Public Sector at Claroty. During the conversation, the two explore how vulnerabilities within the space supply chain can impact mission assurance. They discuss how the expanding space supply chain ecosystem has expanded the attack surface. Like what you heard?

This week, on the final episode of Season 21, we get to discuss the ever changing landscape of junior and college hockey from the USA Hockey perspective with the Assistant Executive Director of Hockey Development, Bob Mancini. [47:19] - With the U20 Summer Showcase wrapping up this weekend in Windsor, ON and the 2026 Hlinka Gretzky Cup about to begin in Edmonton, hockey is definitely back. It's also a busy time for the General Manager of Hockey Canada's junior teams but Alan Millar made the time for The Pipeline Show.

It's an industry that every one of us will encounter at some point in our lives, but one that we don't often talk about from a business perspective. Funeral directors provide an essential service, but behind the scenes they are also running complex businesses facing changing customer expectations, rising costs and evolving traditions. For today's Industry Review, Bobby's looking at the business of being a funeral director - the challenges, the opportunities and how the sector is adapting in modern Ireland. Joining is: Niall Mulligan of Heffernan Funeral Directors in Trim, Former IAFD President Gus Nichols, Director of Fanagans and 30 year veteran of the business, Former IAFD President And Jane Clarke, Public Relations Officer for the Irish Association of Funeral Directors and General Manager of Lakeside Memorial Park Cemetery in Portmarnock

It's all about Jon Eric Sullivan 7-30-2026

She credits three people with transforming her career trajectory at AWS and beyond. Tatiana got her into AWS. Wayne sponsored her advancement within it. Dan helped her break into venture capital as a partner at Felicis Ventures. She did not stumble into these relationships. She built them intentionally, maintained them with discipline, and gave back at every stage — even when what she could give seemed small compared to what she was receiving. Nancy was Director and General Manager at AWS Data Protection when this episode was recorded. She has since been promoted to CTO. She is also the founder of Advancing Women in Tech (AWIT), a venture partner at Felicis Ventures, and served on the board of UPenn's School of Engineering Online. She gave the commencement speech at the University of Pennsylvania. The central idea of that speech: build your personal board of directors. In this episode, she breaks down the full framework. You'll learn: Why she calls her personal board of directors the most important career strategy she has used, and what it gave her that mentors, managers, and luck could not. The three specific people on her board, what each one did for her, and how those relationships were built over time rather than asked for upfront. The right way to ask for raw, unfiltered feedback from someone who outranks you significantly — including why the first or second meeting is almost never the right time, and what you need to establish first. Why follow-through is a bigger differentiator than IQ, communication skills, or credentials. "They need to want it more than you want it for them" — the advice from her own board member that she now uses with every mentee she works with. How compound interest applies to professional relationships: why small, consistent gestures build more than a single impressive one, and what she does quarterly to keep her board relationships healthy without it feeling transactional. She was preparing to meet a Fortune 500 CEO to ask him to join her board. His dog had just had surgery. She planned to bring dog treats. The reminder: every successful person is still just a human being, and treating them that way is both the right approach and the most effective one. The Lululemon wardrobe mistake: her first Silicon Valley job, she bought a whole new wardrobe to fit in with the casual culture. Hated it. Didn't feel herself. What she learned about knowing who you are and using that as a career filter rather than a liability. Why at her leadership level she says no far more often than yes, why she uses Amazon's "have backbone, disagree and commit" principle to push back when the room disagrees with her, and what she tells her mentees about having the courage to hold the unpopular opinion. About Nancy: At the time of this recording, Nancy was Director and General Manager, AWS Data Protection at Amazon Web Services. She has since been promoted to CTO. She is also the founder of Advancing Women in Tech (AWIT), a venture partner at Felicis Ventures, and has served on the board of directors of the UPenn School of Engineering Online. AWIT's Coursera curriculum has reached tens of thousands of learners globally. Advancing Women in Tech: https://www.advancingwomenintech.org/

2026 is proving to be another year of change and evolution for the brewing industry. Both in the UK and overseas. And with that, running a successful brewery is a challenge – and opportunity – that many of us are facing. With that in mind, we are revisiting a talk from our 2025 Brewers Congress, which focused on making strategic production choices and outlined why prioritising markets is key. Speaking in London was Marian Reed, the General Manager and Head of Business Development at Sudden Death Brewing in Lübeck, Germany. Throughout her career, she has been able to connect vision to actions, identify root causes and best outcomes, while managing team members in a way that best suits their own personal development arcs. And last year she flew into London to take part in our 2025 Brewers Congress. In her talk, Marian spoke on how to make strategic production choices via data management and how to prioritize markets and know where you best ‘fit'. She argued why people are essential to a great brewery and why owners and leadership have an obligation to keep the team as their number one priority. She also outlined that strategies vary, there is no one size fits all, so mix and match which approaches work best for your crew.

Today I'm joined by Frank Esparza, General Manager at Tracy Honda. Frank walks through how his Honda store in Tracy, California, turned a stagnant pay plan into more than a million dollars in net profit growth in twelve months. He breaks down enforcing minimum sales standards, why he moved his advertising budget from broad reach to buyers already in the market, and how a lending partner is approving finance deals that traditional banks reject outright.

What can private companies learn from government caseworkers about adopting automation and using data more effectively? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with David Turner, General Manager and Senior Vice President of Government Services at Equifax Workforce Solutions, about public sector automation, data modernization, and the people responsible for delivering social services. The conversation begins with a surprising finding from an Equifax Government Services study of over 500 U.S. government employees. Every respondent expected efficiency to improve during the following year, while 95% believed automation would free time for higher value, human centered work. David explains why government employees may be more receptive to modernization than many people assume. Caseworkers operate under rising demand, staffing pressures, changing policy, and limited budgets. When technology removes repetitive administration or supplies information faster, they can see an immediate connection between the tool and the person waiting for support. We discuss how the meaning of automation has changed inside social services. A few years ago, it might have meant entering information into an online portal. Today, integrated connections can search data sources behind the scenes and return verified information during the caseworker's existing process. David describes continuous evaluation, which can identify when circumstances within a caseload have changed. Instead of searching every case for a possible update, a worker can direct attention toward the people whose income, address, or employment data indicates that further review may be needed. Income verification provides another example. Equifax says it can return income information in under one second, helping prevent the delays created when an applicant must leave the process to find a document. Those pauses matter when an eligibility decision already involves several stages and numerous external systems. The gig economy makes this work harder. Applicants may receive income from employment, contract work, digital platforms, and several side projects. Agencies need access to a fuller income picture without sending people back toward paper forms and manual verification. David also shares what Equifax has learned through its Day in the Life program. The team spends time with caseworkers to understand their processes, policy restrictions, and information constraints. He believes public sector leadership can remain closely connected to employees in the field because many agency executives previously performed those roles themselves. AI introduces further possibilities. David discusses how data and AI could eventually identify signs that someone who has left an assistance program may be experiencing financial difficulty again. Community groups, food banks, or other services could potentially offer support before that person returns to crisis. Such a system would also require careful decisions around consent, privacy, accuracy, and responsibility. The central lesson is refreshingly human. Technology creates value when it removes administrative pauses and gives experienced caseworkers additional time to understand someone's circumstances. Could public sector automation teach private companies how to connect technology investment with human outcomes? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts with me.

Most law firms spend enormous resources attracting the right attorneys — but the executives running the business behind them are just as hard to find, and just as easy to lose. Ted French is the co-founder and president of ASG Legal Search and a 35-year veteran of the executive recruiting and staffing industry.

The Big Unlock · Umesh Rustogi, General Manager, HLS Dragon & Platform, Microsoft In this episode, Umesh Rustogi, General Manager, Healthcare & Life Sciences Dragon & Platform at Microsoft, explains that meaningful AI outcomes depend on combining unified multimodal data foundations with clinician-centered design to achieve healthcare’s quadruple aim: improving care quality, patient experience, operational efficiency, and workforce well-being. Addressing the severe nursing shortage and turnover driven by administrative burnout, Umesh details how Microsoft co-innovated with nine major health systems to deploy Dragon Copilot for Nursing, a clinical assistant that works alongside nurses. By leveraging ambient AI on mobile devices, the solution helps nurses capture flow sheet documentation for their review and maintains a running cognitive memory across shifts, significantly lowering cognitive load and enabling nurses to be truly present with their patients. Umesh also emphasizes that enterprise-scale success requires far more than model selection. It demands responsible AI governance, transparent audit capabilities, deep workflow customization, and robust change management, including nurse leader sponsorship and dedicated unit champions. He envisions smart hospital rooms, multimodal AI, wearable integration, and agentic workflows transforming clinical operations by delegating non-patient-facing tasks so caregivers can focus on delivering better care. Take a listen. This guest appearance was facilitated through conversations initiated at HIMSS.

Optics is no longer a supporting accessory in the data center network. As AI infrastructure advances from 400G and 800G toward 1.6-terabit connectivity, optical components are consuming a larger share of network cost, power and operational risk. In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, DCF Editor in Chief Matt Vincent speaks with Bill Gartner, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cisco's Optical Systems and Optics business, about how AI is changing the strategic role of optics. Gartner explains that optics represented roughly 10% of a network port's bill of materials at 10G. At 400G and above, the optics can cost more than the switch port itself. Reliability has also become critical: A single unstable link can force GPUs operating in parallel to stop, return to a checkpoint and restart. According to data Cisco has seen from hyperscale customers, link flaps can reduce GPU infrastructure efficiency by as much as 40%. The conversation maps the AI network across three distinct tiers: Scale-up: Connections within the rack, carrying approximately 500 times the bandwidth of a traditional WAN environment. Scale-out: Connections between racks, commonly using 400G and 800G pluggable optics. Scale-across: Coherent optical connections between data centers as AI clusters expand beyond the power limits of a single facility. Gartner also discusses Cisco's 1.6T roadmap, routed optical networking, coherent pluggable optics and the emerging debate around co-packaged and near-packaged optics. These architectures promise lower power consumption and greater density, but introduce new questions involving interoperability, replacement and operational resilience. Looking ahead, Gartner emphasizes that optics is not constraining AI network growth. It is enabling clusters to scale across racks, campuses and geographically distributed data centers, while the coming inference wave shifts the industry's focus toward cost and power efficiency.

“The physical and the virtual can come together to deliver a consistent experience across everything the enterprise does.” In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Doug Green speaks with Tony Lama, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Avaya Software, about how Avaya is extending customer experience beyond the traditional contact center. The discussion focuses on Avaya's work with avatarin, whose AI-powered robots can be deployed in airports, retail locations and other physical environments. Using Avaya Infinity, organizations can connect those interactions with virtual assistants, contact center agents and back-office teams. The goal is to preserve context as customers move between physical, digital and human interactions. A robot may handle a routine request, for example, before seamlessly transferring a more complex or sensitive issue to a live person. “We are not in the world of building robots,” Lama says. “We are building platforms that can be used for enterprise-wide orchestration.” Lama also explains Avaya's open approach to AI. Rather than locking customers into a single AI provider, Infinity allows enterprises and partners to connect their preferred models, applications and data platforms. The platform can be deployed in the cloud, on premises or in a hybrid environment, giving organizations a path to modernization without sacrificing security, data sovereignty or existing Avaya investments. For enterprises, MSPs and channel partners, Avaya's message is clear: start with the customer experience, then connect the technologies needed to deliver it.

Michael Fader loved printing enough to pack up his life, move across the country, and see just how far he could take it. After reading a few signs the universe threw his way, he's now crushing it as the General Manager at Pacific Sportswear. Topics of discussion include: four-day workweeks, gatekeeping, justifying expansion, running a digital squeegee, doing way more than your job description, shop visits, cross-country moves, ADHD superpowers, rescuing misprints, and the defense of a deeply misunderstood villain.

In this episode of Service Drive Revolution #369, Chris, Hogi, and Adam take on one of the most widespread profit leaks in dealership service departments: the massive gap between your posted labor rate and your effective labor rate. The team pulls back the curtain on why so many shops posting a $200 door rate end up collecting an effective rate of barely $99 to $101—and why your effective labor rate should actually be higher than your posted door rate. The guys break down the silent revenue killers, including hyper-busy, heavily discounted quick lubes that drag down your entire mix, treating all labor like "competitive" labor, and letting service advisors discount repair orders willy-nilly just to cash out a customer. We also expose the danger of unbuilt op codes, inconsistent labor times, and giving away cheap labor on fleet accounts when those fleet managers actually care far more about turnaround time than price. Plus: The crew introduces "Robo-Hogi"—a hilarious, high-tech studio experiment to put Hogi in the room while he's remote—and discusses how shifting from struggle to strategy brings the fun back into running a dealership without destroying your personal life. (Note: While this episode is pre-recorded due to the team traveling to Indiana, Hogi is heading straight into the SDR Live Academy on Zoom immediately after this broadcast to teach mindset and leadership!)

In the past week, podcast listeners to this show have come from across the US, Canada, Austria, the UK, and Spain. If you’re one of our far-flung podcast listeners, "Hello!" If you live in New Orleans, you might hear us on WWNO. In which case you will have probably heard, as part of the local news, reporters from The Gulf States Newsroom. The Gulf States Newsroom is an NPR-driven news-gathering collaboration of WWNO, WRKF in Baton Rouge, and NPR stations in Alabama and Mississippi. It was launched in 2020, by NPR and the Corporation For Public Broadcasting. In 2025, the Corporation For Public Broadcasting was de-funded by Congress and no longer exists. Those same budget cuts ate into the financial viability of all public broadcasting outlets – including the member stations of the Gulf States Newsroom - forcing them to scramble to come up with strategies to stay funded. You can’t accuse the Deep South of being ahead of the game in much, but in the case of The Gulf States Newsroom, back in 2022 they’d hired Marci Schramm as their Director of Development, an HR term that roughly translates to, “The person we all depend on to go out and find money to fund this thing.” Marci’s background included 9 years as Executive Director of New Orleans’ French Quarter Festival – the years that saw its most explosive growth – and that’s when we first met her here on Out to Lunch, in 2016. Today, Marci ensures the Gulf States Newsroom continues to run at full capacity as it earns numerous prestigious Edward R Murrow Awards for journalism. When you watch the news on TV, you’re quite often looking at film of people in life and death situations in other countries, and sometimes in other cities in the US. If you live in New Orleans, you’ve probably had the unnerving experience of relying on this kind of news footage to assess the risk to your own life at the hands of a hurricane or flood. It’s essential here to have a TV news station you can trust. It’s too late for a news outlet to earn that kind of trust the day before a storm blows into town and for that reason, despite our reputation as “The City That Care Forgot,” we take local news reporting seriously in New Orleans. WWL TV is one of the oldest television stations in the South. Tod Smith began working there as a production assistant in 1980 while he was a student at Loyola University – which at that time owned WWL. Tod graduated from college, worked for a while for Shell Oil, went back to TV and was Sales Manager at WWL in the 1990’s, then went into management at stations in Arizona and Virginia before coming back home to take over as General Manager of WWL TV in 2012. He’s still the station’s General Manager today. People will tell you they’re a cat person or a dog person. They’re mountain people or beach people. And then there are NPR listeners and – believe it or not - people who have never-even-one-time listened to public radio.You can’t hate those folks – they don’t know what they’re missing. But we NPR listeners absolutely know what we’d be missing if public radio went away. So, we’re all exceptionally grateful to Marci Schramm for everything she does every day to keep public radio news on the air. And with a legacy that includes Nash Roberts, Garland Robinette, Eric Paulsen, Sally Ann Roberts, Angela Hill, Hap Glaudi, and Morgus the Magnificent, WWL-TV is a part of the history of modern New Orleans. As General Manager of the station, Tod Smith is a part of that history now too. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.
