Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you trying to sell a service so specialized that closing new clients feels like it can only come from you? What do you think about how AI is reshaping your industry and where that leaves the human at the center of it? Today's featured guest came up through luxury automotive, spent years learning how cultural nuance can derail a campaign that looks perfect on paper, and built a niche precise enough that she can spot from two miles away when someone writing about influencer marketing has never actually run a campaign. In this episode, she'll discuss what makes international influencer work fundamentally different from domestic campaigns and what AI-generated influencers mean for an industry built on human authenticity. Jeanette Okwu is the founder and CEO of Beyond Influence, an influencer marketing agency based in Berlin. Her background spans social media strategy, brand research, and influencer marketing across luxury automotive brands including Jaguar Land Rover and Mercedes-Benz. That global scope became the foundation for her agency's core differentiation: running influencer campaigns that actually account for cultural nuance in each market rather than pushing a headquarters strategy downward and hoping it lands. In this episode, we'll discuss: Building international campaigns understanding regional nuances How to overcome the expert-owner bottleneck problem Can AI influencers replace real ones?

Why International Campaigns Break When You Treat Every Market the Same Early in her career, Jeanette managed 24 markets at Jaguar Land Rover, which helped her understand that what works in one country does not translate by default. A TV spot that runs cleanly in Europe cannot air in the Middle East if it shows upper arms or alcohol. A campaign strategy built at headquarters and handed down to regional teams will get implemented, but it will not perform, because every market has cultural specifics that only someone operating inside that market will catch. The agency she built is the direct expression of that knowledge. Beyond Influence does not run German campaigns and call it international work. It builds campaigns from the ground up with an understanding of how audiences in each target market actually consume content and what they expect from the creators they follow. That distinction is hard to replicate without the years of field experience behind it, and it is exactly the kind of institutional knowledge that becomes a real moat when the rest of the market is running generic global strategies. The Sales Bottleneck That Comes With Deep Expertise Jeanette is candid about where she is stuck: sales still runs through her. This is something she has tried to change, but influencer marketing is still a new enough discipline that clients want to hear from someone who demonstrably knows what they are talking about. She frames it as expertise selling and she is probably right that some of it is structural to the space. But she also hears herself in the answer, acknowledging a degree of control that she knows is not fully serving the agency's ability to grow. The necessary shift in cases like this doesn't point toward finding a salesperson who already knows influencer marketing. The real solution will come from finding someone with the right consultative instincts and then giving them the success stories and methodology that let them carry the conversation. Such is the case of Darby, our agency scale specialist, who did not know what an agency was before joining the team. What he had was the ability to listen, qualify, and translate client pain into a path forward. That skill can be trained on the specifics. The instinct behind it cannot. What AI Influencers Actually Mean for the Industry Jeanette knows the question that is currently on every client's mind: will AI-generated influencers replace the real ones? Her answer is more nuanced than the headlines. AI avatars already perform comparably to human creators on certain content types. Brands are building owned avatars that show up on time, never gain weight, never create a scandal, and can post from six locations simultaneously without a travel budget. That part of the market is real and growing. What AI cannot replicate is the reason people follow a creator in the first place. The parasocial relationship that makes influencer marketing work is built on the sense that the person on screen is real and reachable. When a follower knows they will never be able to meet the creator, the connection breaks. That is the line Jeanette draws: AI content can perform well for product exposure, but for the kind of community trust that turns followers into buyers over time, the human at the center still matters. The agencies that understand where that line sits will be the ones helping brands draw it correctly rather than chasing the cost savings of going fully artificial before the audience has stopped caring about the difference.

General Motors figura hoy en nuestro radar porque, según informa The Wall Street Journal, mantiene conversaciones con la empresa de defensa Lockheed Martin para proporcionarle componentes destinados a sus sistemas armamentísticos. De acuerdo con el periódico, la automovilística fabricaría piezas de uso general con el objetivo de ayudar al contratista a incrementar la producción de munición. Este posible acuerdo podría formar parte de una nueva estrategia tanto de General Motors como del sector automotriz en su conjunto. Su consejera delegada, Mary Barra, ha dialogado con la Administración Trump sobre la posibilidad de reforzar su participación en la industria de defensa. El contexto actual parece propicio para que estas compañías se involucren más directamente en la fabricación militar. Las reservas de armamento de Estados Unidos se encuentran en niveles bajos, lo que ha llevado al Departamento de Defensa a buscar empresas capaces de acelerar la producción. A esto se suma la situación geopolítica, con el conflicto entre Irán y Estados Unidos aún sin resolverse y la guerra entre Ucrania y Rusia, factores que podrían impulsar a estas empresas a explorar nuevas oportunidades de negocio. En este escenario es donde entra en juego General Motors. La compañía mantiene una estrecha relación con el Gobierno estadounidense. Es responsable de la fabricación del vehículo presidencial conocido como “The Beast”, utilizado por el presidente Trump. Este Cadillac tiene un coste aproximado de un millón y medio de dólares, y el contrato total alcanza los 15 millones, incluyendo varias unidades. Asimismo, General Motors ha suministrado al Pentágono distintos vehículos tácticos de movilidad, como el Infantry Squad Vehicle, cuyo contrato supera los 200 millones de dólares, además del ISV-Utility y el Suburban Shield. General Motors no es la única automovilística que ha encontrado en el sector de defensa una vía adicional de ingresos. Junto a ella, Jaguar Land Rover compite por un contrato de 900 millones de libras para fabricar camiones militares para el ejército británico. Por su parte, Mercedes y Renault, a través de sus divisiones especializadas, producen vehículos para diferentes ejércitos, mientras que otras compañías como Ford o Toyota han visto cómo sus modelos han sido utilizados por fuerzas militares de varios países.

PODCAST EPISODE | Redefining CyberSecurity With Sean Martin — On Location at InfoSecurity Europe 2026 On Location With Sean Martin And Marco Ciappelli The UK's threats change by the day. Its laws change over years. Sean Martin sat down with James Morris — former Member of Parliament, now Director of the CSBR — to ask how a government writes cyber policy fast enough to matter, and why “resilience” has quietly stopped being a technical word.

Something has changed at the board level. Recorded in the media room at Infosecurity Europe 2026 in London, Ian Schenkel, VP Sales, EMEA & APAC of Intel 471, describes directors who no longer take security on faith. After a year of headline breaches from Jaguar Land Rover to Marks and Spencer and the Co-op, leadership wants proof rather than promises. What does the board actually want to know? A straight answer to one question: are we okay? Ian Schenkel starts with geopolitics. Nation-state activity, supply chain exposure, and shifting global markets all shape whether a business can keep running. Threat intelligence becomes the early warning system leaders use to decide where to move and which actors have a history of targeting their industry. The next question gets personal. Does this affect us? Have we already been hit? This is where Intel 471 leans on retroactive threat detection. When new indicators of compromise surface, an analyst can build detection queries in seconds against a SIEM, SOAR tool, SentinelOne, Microsoft, or Palo Alto, then report back to the board with a clear answer. How does intelligence reach the board without getting lost in the weeds? It travels as a story the board can act on. Intel 471 pulls its three core areas, cyber threat intelligence, attack surface management, and threat hunting, into a single report that scales from an executive summary to a detailed account of what was found and neutralized. The stories make it real. During merger rumors, an attacker registered a look-alike domain and emailed employees from it. In another case, Intel 471 warned an organization it did not yet work with about a politically motivated actor that was openly discussing it. The value is the early signal, long before perimeter and endpoint defenses ever engage. Sometimes the right move is not technical at all. It might be briefing executives on targeted ransomware or reminding employees to stay alert against the email that has not arrived yet. The throughline, as Ian Schenkel frames it, is prevention over reaction, and a board finally asking the right questions. This is a Brand Spotlight. A Brand Spotlight is a ~15 minute conversation designed to explore the guest, their company, and what makes their approach unique.

Overdrive: AI cars, revived names and the Kia K4 shooting brake twist AI cars, classic shooting brakes likened to Kia K4 Short Description This episode explores how Chinese manufacturers are reshaping the car industry through AI, digital architecture and global strategy. There's debate over heritage as Jaguar Land Rover revives Freelander, while GWM backs V8 power for markets like Australia. The team also dives into shooting brake design and reviews the Kia K4 hatch, balancing style, practicality and safety. Motorsport gets a nod with a prodigy signed at just 11, highlighting the evolving pathways to Formula One. • Episode Breakdown • Geely AI and digital shift — 00:01:02 • Freelander name revived — 00:07:17 • GWM V8 strategy — 00:15:16 • Young karting prodigy — 00:21:35 • Naming and brand discussion — 00:24:45 • Shooting brake design — 00:27:53 • Kia K4 hatch review — 00:36:08 ________________________________________ • Full Summary • Geely AI and digital shift Chinese manufacturers are pivoting from traditional vehicle metrics to software-led systems. Geely's latest platform prioritises computing power, cybersecurity and lifecycle diagnostics, reflecting a broader move toward intelligent mobility and integration with urban infrastructure. • Freelander name revived Jaguar Land Rover plans to relaunch the Freelander through a China-based joint venture. The move highlights tensions between heritage branding and global production realities, especially as Chinese market dynamics reshape premium SUV strategies. • GWM V8 strategy GWM is developing V8 engines specifically for export markets like Australia and New Zealand. Despite electrification trends, advances in efficiency mean large engines still have a role when matched to real-world driving conditions. • Young karting prodigy An 11-year-old joining McLaren's driver development program shows how early talent is now identified and nurtured. While it offers a direct path to Formula One, it also raises concerns about pressure and early specialisation. • Naming and brand discussion The program explores how manufacturers use naming and branding to shape identity. From BYD naming quirks to Porsche's Christophorus magazine, it's a mix of heritage storytelling and modern marketing. • Shooting brake design The shooting brake blends sports car styling with wagon practicality. While rooted in utility, modern interpretations often struggle with proportions, though they remain an intriguing niche in automotive design. • Kia K4 hatch review The Kia K4 hatch adopts a bold, coupe-like rear design with shooting brake influences. It strengthens Kia's position in the segment but compromises rear visibility and space, while the absence of hybrid options and uneven safety specs are notable drawbacks. ________________________________________ • Program Links and Credits Overdrive is broadcast across Australia on the Community Radio Network.

Firmy čoraz lepšie chápu, že ochrana dát nie je luxus, je to existenčná otázka. O tom, ako sa zmenil prístup slovenských podnikov ku kybernetickej bezpečnosti a čo robí z firmy ľahkú korisť pre útočníkov, hovorí Andrej Kavický, riaditeľ divízie ICT spoločnosti IXPERTA Ešte pred niekoľkými rokmi bola kyberbezpečnosť vnímaná ako nákladová položka, ktorá zaujíma výhradne IT oddelenie. V súčasnosti sa vnímanie zásadne mení. Manažéri a majitelia firiem si uvedomujú, že digitálny priestor je miestom, kde sídli skutočná hodnota ich podnikov — dáta, procesy, reputácia. A práve tam striehnu najväčšie hrozby. „Ako si každý uvedomuje, že potrebujeme mať zámok na dverách alebo plot okolo výrobného podniku, tak dnes už ide o to, že si chránim svoje hodnoty vo firme nielen plotom, ale aj ochranou kybernetického priestoru," hovorí Andrej Kavický, riaditeľ divízie ICT, ktorý zodpovedá za strategické smerovanie riešení v oblasti IT v spoločnosti IXPERTA. Jedným z najväčších a podceňovaných rizík sú dodávateľské reťazce. „Útok na Jaguar Land Rover v roku 2025 dokázal fabriku vyradiť na niekoľko týždňov a straty sa pohybovali v jednotkách miliárd eur — a nebolo to spôsobené samotnou firmou, ale dodávateľským reťazcom,“ upozorňuje A. Kavický s tým, že prepojenie sietí, zariadení a partnerov znamená, že jedno slabé miesto môže ohroziť celý ekosystém. Keď sa ráno zamestnanci dostavia do práce a zistia, že dáta sú preč, nastáva chaos. Obnova môže trvať hodiny, dni, niekedy týždne. Práve preto A. Kavický prirovnáva prípravu na kybernetický útok k požiarnym cvičeniam: „Pravdepodobnosť požiaru je dnes podstatne nižšia ako pravdepodobnosť kybernetického útoku, a napriek tomu sa na takúto situáciu nepripravujeme." Odpoveďou na túto medzeru je platforma, ktorú IXPERTA vyvíjala v spolupráci s Európskym centrom pre kybernetickú bezpečnosť, univerzitami a poprednými výrobcami bezpečnostných riešení. Naším cieľom je zálohu nielen mať, ale mať ju bezpečnú a použiteľnú," vysvetľuje A. Kavický. Pre malé a stredné podniky nemusí znamenať kybernetická ochrana vybudovanie vlastného tímu bezpečnostných špecialistov. „Veľké firmy, ako sú banky, investujú do bezpečnosti milióny eur a zamestnávajú desiatky ľudí. Malá firma si to nemôže dovoliť a ani to nedáva zmysel," hovorí A. Kavický. Riešením je spolupráca s dôveryhodným externým partnerom — avšak s jasne nastavenými zmluvnými podmienkami, právomocami aj zodpovednosťou. Kyberbezpečnosť nie je jednorazová investícia s jasným koncom. Je to nepretržitý proces. „Mať bezpečnosť nie je cieľ. To je dlhodobá cesta. Keď na tú cestu raz nastúpime, nemali by sme z nej nikdy vystúpiť," uzatvára A. Kavický. Viac podrobností v podcaste.

Cyber shocks, political ripples and pop-powered spending – it's another packed week on the AJ Bell Money & Markets podcast. Charlene Young and Danni Hewson break down the latest inflation and jobs data, before turning to bond market jitters as political drama heats up. There's pressure building for businesses too, as Ryanair flags rising fuel costs, and Marks & Spencer and Jaguar Land Rover lay bare the growing financial toll of cyber attacks. We also dive into the forces reshaping what was formerly the UK high street, with more big banking brands on brink of disappearing completely, and unpack what a potential mansion tax could mean for homeowners. Plus, two insightful interviews: one exploring how supply chains are becoming a major investment theme, and another on the critical mineral antimony as surging demand drives the reopening of an Australian mine. And to finish, we move from hard economics to headline acts, and look at how Harry Styles' Wembley run could generate over £1bn in spending, proving the experience economy is alive and well.

Il Centro studi di Confindustria avverte che il protrarsi della crisi energetica e la mancata riapertura dello stretto di Hormuz stanno ampliando l’impatto sull’economia italiana. Crescono inflazione e sfiducia di famiglie e imprese, mentre rischiano di rallentare consumi, servizi e investimenti. L’industria regge grazie al Pnrr ma emergono segnali di indebolimento, con domanda più debole e ordini in calo. In sofferenza anche il settore servizi, soprattutto turismo e trasporti. L’export italiano resta resiliente nonostante il crollo delle vendite verso il Medio Oriente, compensato dalla crescita in Cina, Svizzera e nei principali Paesi Ue. Interviene Alessandro Fontana, direttore del Centro studi di Confindustria.Stellantis, accordi con Dongfeng e Jaugar Land Rover. Focus sul Nord America accordi con i produttori cinesi per gli stabilimenti europeiRaffica di annunci per Stellantis alla vigilia dell’Investor Day. Il gruppo ha firmato un memorandum con Jaguar Land Rover per valutare collaborazioni sullo sviluppo di prodotti e tecnologie negli Stati Uniti. Parallelamente, Stellantis amplia la partnership con Dongfeng con l’obiettivo di creare una joint venture europea dedicata ai veicoli elettrici e a nuova energia del gruppo cinese. Intanto Antonella Bruno rivendica la crescita del 13% dei volumi in Italia nei primi quattro mesi dell’anno. Ma la Fiom denuncia l’esclusione degli stabilimenti italiani dalle nuove alleanze industriali e accusa Stellantis di non aver investito sufficientemente su impianti e linee produttive nel Paese. Il commento è affidato a Paolo Bricco, Il Sole 24 Ore.La premier pronta ad accontentarsi della misura tamponeBruxelles lavora a una soluzione per aiutare l’Italia ad affrontare la crisi energetica senza modificare il Patto di Stabilità. L’ipotesi è quella di consentire l’utilizzo di fondi di coesione rimodulati e risorse residue del Pnrr, per un pacchetto complessivo tra i 3 e i 5 miliardi di euro. Una misura tampone che eviterebbe nuovo debito ma che resta distante dalla richiesta italiana di una clausola di salvaguardia sull’energia sul modello di quella concessa per la difesa. Secondo Gianni Trovati, il governo continua comunque a puntare sull’esenzione dal Patto per ottenere maggiore flessibilità di bilancio. Ne parliamo con Gianni Trovati, Il Sole 24 Ore.

Steve Beres and Ike Goss kick off the Underpowered Hour by reacting to a Range Rover SV Ultra (and “Ultra Mega”) promo highlighting a 21-speaker electrostatic sound system, haptic “sensory floor,” and wellness modes that spark jokes about cost, recalls, and a 4D in-car experience. They then discuss conflicting Jaguar Land Rover financial headlines, including profits reportedly down 99% due to warranty costs tied to a 170,000-vehicle recall, cyber attacks, Middle East war impacts, and tariffs, though the loss “beat expectations.” Next, they cover the UK Ministry of Defense seeking a classic Defender replacement, with potential bids from Land Rover, the Ineos Grenadier, and other manufacturers, plus rumors of a smaller Ineos EV partnership tied to Chery and the name “Fusilier.” Ike recaps attending Oregon's Rover Rendezvous in a 1957 Series I 107 station wagon, including minor repairs and a failed voltage regulator, and they close with upcoming guests and Steve's excitement about a Dutch Bros opening in Valencia.00:00 Show Intro and Hosts01:20 SV Ultra Mega Tease02:59 Electrostatic Audio Demo05:22 Wellness Modes Mockups07:50 4D Haptics and Price Jokes09:12 JLR Profits and Recalls11:04 MOD Defender Replacement Race13:28 Military Needs vs New Defender14:32 Who Will Build It15:07 Tiny Grenadier Rumors16:18 Chery Partnership Speculation17:08 Fusilier Name Reveal18:12 Tranquility Mode Banter18:47 Oregon Rover Rendezvous19:55 107 Wagon Road Trip Fixes20:59 Event Trucks and Activities21:53 Anarch 80th Planning22:47 JB Weld Head Gasket Saga24:14 Bad Repairs Philosophy25:29 Next Week and Dutch Bros27:03 Signing Off

Jedním z největších kyberútoků z loňského roku byl ten na společnost Jaguar Land Rover v Británii. Na měsíc došlo k ochromení výroby aut a ztráta činila v přepočtu více než padesát miliard korun. „Zajímavé je, že vůbec nevíme, co se vlastně stalo. Jaguar Landrover nevydal žádnou oficiální zprávu, s kým bojovali a proč se to stalo. Navíc chvíli před útokem uzavřeli smlouvu s Tata Consultancy Services za 800 milionů liber, jejíž součástí bylo i cyber security – takže udělali všechno pro to, aby se jim něco takového nestalo,“ podotkl Marian Kulhavý, obchodní ředitel společnosti GAPP System, v diskusi o kyberbezpečnosti, kterou HN uspořádaly na začátku května.

Steve Beres and Ike Goss welcome listeners to The Underpowered Hour, share two major Jaguar Land Rover safety recalls (a widespread DC-to-DC converter issue that can cut drivetrain power and affect brakes/lights, and a 2026 Defender fuel-tank defect that could leak or cause fire), then interview Defender Trophy trials finalist Nathaniel Biggs alongside Jenna Fribley about the North American Defender Trophy event near Stave Lake, British Columbia. Nathan describes team-based challenges including knot-tying and tripod skills, a high-lift jack winch task, interviews, a ropes course, a large-group “pencil” coordination game, compass navigation to collect codes, a run carrying a rotopax, night driving, and a group recovery using people power. Day two included vehicle-focused tasks like a wood-pyramid pull, a low bridge build, an off-road course with hole-punch targets, a mudflats trials-style navigation drive, and a tire-retrieval/change challenge. They discuss unclear scoring, strong camaraderie, and Nathan advancing to a New York stage announcement for who goes to Africa, before closing with Destination Defender info and teasing “Headgasket Gate.”

Mike Herzing and Jeremy Birenbaum cover this week's major industry news: Jaguar Land Rover recalls roughly 170,000 hybrids for a power loss risk with no repair available yet, Nissan issues an airbag inspection for certain Cubes, and Volkswagen recalls Taos SUVs over a fuel sensor issue. We also review the 2026 Nissan Frontier Pro‑4X, get a lively NASCAR/Talladega update from Racing Mogul Carl Benton about the Cleetus McFarland phenomenon and Carson Hosevar's first win, answer classic car Q&A, and share an Infiniti QX60 first drive.

A flood sweeps away Waymo's in San Antonio and we dig into safety claims, and why they really don't get tickets. Zook's terms are flagged for burying major warnings, forcing arbitration, and capping liability. Lawmakers are criticized for framing alcohol-impairment prevention tech as “surveillance” while carmakers already monetize driver data. Plus NHTSA is underfunded truck-safety oversight, Tesla's retrofits for “full self-driving,” police pursuit tech like grapplers and drones, and a batch of recalls from Ford, Volkswagen/Audi, and Jaguar Land Rover.Support Safety!https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/waymo-san-antonio-still-paused-212804570.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBNfHUhmdq8https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2026/04/24/robotaxis-dc-bill-charles-allen/https://newrepublic.com/article/209475/waymos-wont-solve-traffic-deathshttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/24/opinion/trucking-safety.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/ready-next-car-decide-too-145928352.htmlhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/exclusive-kill-switch-amendment-could-shake-up-the-capitol-hill-fisa-fight/ar-AA21RESZhttps://insideevs.com/news/793786/tesla-hw3-retrofit-micro-factories/https://nypost.com/2026/04/10/us-news/california-congresswoman-pushes-for-technology-to-reduce-deadly-car-chases/https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2026/RCLRPT-26V238-6269.pdfhttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2026/RCLRPT-26V240-2255.pdfhttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2026/RCLRPT-26V258-9757.pdfhttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2026/RCLRPT-26V248-5125.pdf

Five straight years. No meaningful progress.That is the headline from the 2026 Internet Lead Effectiveness study published by Pied Piper Management Company. More than half of all web leads sent to powersports dealerships receive no personal response within 24 hours. The dealers who do respond well sell 50% more units from the same leads.Fran O'Hagan founded Pied Piper in 2003 after spending years inside the dealership world at Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Jaguar Land Rover. His team has been measuring how powersports dealers respond to web leads since 2011 and publishing the results every year since. He is also a lifelong motorcycle buyer who stopped counting at 100 bikes.In this episode, Jacob sits down with Fran to break down the 2026 ILE study, what the data means for dealers right now, and what the top performing dealers are doing differently than the other 87%.What we cover:Why the industry average ILE score has been stuck at 44 for five straight yearsThe two things every dealer can do this week that will immediately move the needleWhy having a CRM does not make your response better unless you have the process to go with itHow Indian Motorcycle has held the top spot four years in a row and exactly what their dealers do differentlyWhy AI is not the shortcut most dealers think it is and when it actually helpsThe Ken Garff story: a 90-store dealer group that finished dead last, called Pied Piper angry, and became a top three performer in one year without any trainingWhy the phone call is still the highest converting response path by a wide marginWhat happens to your leads after 24 hours (spoiler: it almost does not matter anymore)OEM accountability and the misleading dashboards telling dealers they are fine when they are notService department lead response and what is coming next from Pied PiperIf you run a dealership or work for one, this episode will make you look at your lead inbox differently.Watch on YouTube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixit?si=xGw636a89UUDAK20⁠Connect with Fran: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/franohagan/⁠Learn more about Pied Piper: ⁠https://www.piedpiperpsi.com⁠Connect with Jacob: ⁠https://linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berry⁠Follow the Fixit Online: ⁠https://linktr.ee/dealershipfixit⁠Sponsor: ⁠https://dealers.motohunt.com⁠

Steve hosts without Ike  at first and checks in with Tom Pickford, Greg Fitzgerald, Bill Cooper, and Laura Stacey as they drive Pollyanna—Barbara Toy's famed Series I Land Rover—across the southern U.S. toward the Texas Rover Club's SCAR event honoring Toy. They discuss how the trip came together after Jaguar Land Rover brought Pollyanna to Pebble Beach, the convoy support vehicles, early mechanical quirks from year-old fuel, recreating Toy's Jacksonville Beach moment with the mayor, and efforts to preserve and expand Toy's legacy through barbara-toy.com, surviving letters, and the book The Free Lives of Barbara Toy, plus challenges republishing her out-of-print books (only In Search of Sheba is currently reprinted). Back in studio, Steve and Ike note Tim Slessor's death, a Tom Holland Series Land Rover ad, and a Liam Neeson horror-comedy featuring Land Rovers.00:00 Ike Is Out Today00:39 Hotel Internet Fixes01:32 Naming The Expedition02:19 Meet The Pollyanna Crew03:59 Why Recreate The Journey06:52 Picking Up Pollyanna07:24 JFK Versus Newark08:49 On The Road Glitches12:10 Laura Joins The Ride14:45 Club Shirts And Walmart15:56 Bill And The Support Cars17:40 Writing And Publishing Plans19:22 Saving Barbara Toy History22:51 Recreating Jacksonville Beach23:38 Family Ties And Legacy25:16 Rescuing Barbara's Archive26:08 Letters Become a Book26:39 Hunting Global Ephemera27:41 Reprinting the Travelogues29:27 Pollyanna and Lost Vehicles31:32 Why the Books Are Rare33:18 Secondhand Shop Strategies34:24 Farewell and Modern Contrast36:38 Land Rover News Roundup38:02 Tom Holland Series Ad39:36 Tattoo Banter Detour40:42 Pollyanna Trip Check-In44:16 Liam Neeson Zombie Film46:35 Wrap Up and Next Check-In

We start with a real-world manufacturing case study from the UK where cyber incidents are becoming routine, then zoom in on why revenue hits are so brutal in an industry that often runs on tight margins. The Jaguar Land Rover disruption adds a sobering lesson: a single breach can ripple outward into suppliers, logistics, and even wider economic impact.From there, we switch into CISSP Question Thursday with Domain 4 focused practice that sharpens how you think under exam pressure. We walk through a zero trust private cloud scenario and explain why microsegmentation with software-defined networking gives the most granular workload-to-workload control for stopping east-west lateral movement after a compromised web server. We also tackle the split tunnel VPN tradeoff that can turn an endpoint into a bridge for attackers, plus a legacy ARP weakness that opens the door to ARP spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks.We round it out with high-value protocols and technologies you're likely to see on the CISSP exam: DKIM for cryptographic email integrity and domain validation, WPA3's SAE for stronger protection against offline dictionary attacks, and VXLAN in shared infrastructure where encryption is not provided by default and must be layered in with controls like IPsec or MACsec. If you're studying communications and network security, this one connects technical decisions to real business risk.

Podcast: Security Weekly Podcast Network (Audio) (LS 47 · TOP 1% what is this?)Episode: OT Security/business resilience, lack of incentives for securing software & the news - Ben Worthy - ESW #448Pub date: 2026-03-02Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationInterview - Ben Worthy from Airbus Protect The current state of OT security and business resilience In this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly, we sit down with Ben Worthy, OT Security Specialist at Airbus Protect, to explore the evolving landscape of business resilience in safety-critical sectors. With over 25 years of experience across aerospace, nuclear, water, oil & gas, and other industries, Ben shares insights on how organizations are adapting to the surge in disruptive cyberattacks—from ransomware targeting operational technology to GPS spoofing and supply chain incidents. We discuss major cases including the Boeing/LockBit ransom demand, the Jaguar Land Rover production shutdown, and the SITA passenger data breach, examining how aviation and other critical infrastructure sectors are separating safety risk from business continuity risk. Ben also breaks down the regulatory changes reshaping the industry, including EASA's October 2025 and February 2026 deadlines that tie cyber assurance directly to safety oversight, and what ENISA's latest numbers reveal about hacktivism and ransomware trends.

The ID.4 leads the tally with roughly 901,000 units sold globally, while the brand now looks ahead to four new affordable EVs including the ID. Polo, arriving in 2026.ŠKODA GIVES SUPERB HATCH A 200 KW PHEVŠkoda has unveiled a 200 kW plug-in hybrid for the Superb Hatch, pairing a 1.5 TSI petrol engine with an 85 kW electric motor and a 25.7 kWh battery — making it the most powerful combustion-engine model in Škoda's current lineup. The launch reflects growing demand: one in four Superb models now sells with a PHEV powertrain, and more than 68,000 Superb iV models have been delivered since 2019.CANADA OPENS CHINA-BUILT EV QUOTA AT 6.1% TARIFFCanada began accepting import permit applications from 1 March 2026, allowing up to 49,000 China-built EVs per year to enter at a 6.1% tariff — a sharp cut from the 106.1% rate imposed in 2024 — on a first-come, first-served basis. Tesla, Polestar, and Volvo are considered frontrunners to use the allocation, which Ottawa plans to scale to 70,000 vehicles annually by 2030, with 50% of that expanded quota reserved for EVs below a set price threshold.CUPRA SETS 5 MARCH BORN FACELIFT REVEALCupra will unveil the Born facelift on 5 March, bringing harder-edged front and rear styling that aligns the model visually with the newer Terramar and Tavascan, plus expected interior upgrades including more premium materials and a revised infotainment layout. The refresh matters commercially: the Born has sold nearly 30,000 units in the UK alone since its 2022 launch, and Cupra will also soon introduce the smaller Raval electric hatchback from approximately £23,000.RANGE ROVER VELAR EV SPOTTED ON WINTER TESTA Range Rover Velar EV prototype has been caught in European winter testing, revealing a dramatically reshaped body with a cab-forward stance, angular haunches, and a fastback-leaning roofline that breaks sharply from traditional boxy SUV design. Crucially, it will be the first Jaguar Land Rover model built on the new 800-volt Electric Modular Architecture (EMA) platform, which is engineered to deliver over 300 miles of range and faster charging capability.RIVIAN LAUNCHES RAD PERFORMANCE SUB-BRANDRivian has launched the Rivian Adventure Department (RAD), a dedicated performance sub-brand targeting harder and faster off-road driving that puts it in direct competition with Land Rover's Octa and Ford's Raptor line. RAD formalises the engineering team already responsible for the R1S and R1T Quad Motor variants, giving Rivian's performance ambitions an official identity and a public-facing platform.TESLA TELLS MODEL Y OWNERS TO CHARGE GENTLYTesla has updated the Model Y Owner's Manual to advise owners to rely on home Level 1 or Level 2 charging for daily use — keeping limits at 80% — and to reserve Superchargers for road trips, warning that frequent DC fast charging accelerates long-term battery degradation. For long-term storage, Tesla recommends parking at approximately 50% state of charge and flagging that features like Sentry Mode and Dog Mode can silently drain the battery at roughly 1% per day while the car sits idle.VOLVO PLOTS FASTER ZERO-EMISSION TRUCK PUSHVolvo Group is accelerating its battery-electric heavy truck strategy from a position of strength, holding a 19% share of the European heavy-truck market for the second consecutive year. Its flagship FH Aero Electric packs 780 kWh of batteries for up to 600 km of range and supports megawatt charging that takes the pack from 20% to 80% in just 45 minutes — aligning recharge stops with mandatory driver rest breaks.LYTEN TAKES OVER NORTHVOLT'S SWEDISH BATTERY ASSETSLyten has completed its acquisition of Northvolt's Swedish operations — covering Northvolt Ett, Ett Expansion, and Northvolt Labs — in a deal encompassing nearly $5 billion in book value, 16 GWh of manufacturing capacity, and Europe's largest battery R&D centre. The company plans to restart lithium-ion NMC cell production at the Skellefteå site in the second half of 2026, and will use Northvolt Labs in Västerås to advance its proprietary lithium-sulfur battery technology.BRIM EXPLORER ORDERS TWO ELECTRIC TRIMARANSOslo-based Brim Explorer has signed contracts for two fully electric trimarans — each 24 metres long, carrying 180 passengers — which the firm claims will be the world's most efficient battery-powered vessels upon their spring 2027 delivery. The boats will operate silent, emission-free sightseeing cruises along Norway's coast with a battery-only range of 100 nautical miles at speeds up to 20 knots, expanding Brim's existing five-vessel fleet.

What is ransomware, and why does it remain the number one threat to businesses of all sizes? In this episode of The Backup Wrap-up, W. Curtis Preston and Prasanna Malaiyandi break down the fundamentals of ransomware attacks and explain why the question "what is ransomware" still gets searched tens of thousands of times each month.We cover the two main types of ransomware attacks: traditional encryption-based attacks where hackers lock your data and demand payment, and the newer double extortion model where attackers steal your sensitive information before encrypting it—then threaten to publish everything if you don't pay.Our hosts share real-world examples including the Sony hack, the Costa Rica government attack, and the massive Jaguar Land Rover breach that cost over $2.5 billion. Whether you're a Fortune 500 company or a small dental office, this episode explains what is ransomware, why you're a target, and why preparation is your best defense.

In this eye-opening episode of the Influence Global Podcast, host Gordon Glenister is joined by Max Corbridge, ethical hacker and founder of Secure Agentics, to unpack the rapidly growing risks that artificial intelligence poses to influencers, creators, brands and everyday users. Max discusses his decade-long career working with high-street banks, the UK government and major organisations to simulate cyber-attacks and strengthen defences. In recent years, his work has increasingly pivoted to AI-driven threats, where attackers now use autonomous agents, voice-cloning and deepfake technologies to scale scams at unprecedented speed. From major breaches such as the Jaguar Land Rover incident to AI-generated YouTube channels that convincingly mimic celebrity voices, Max explains why influencers are uniquely vulnerable—and what they must do to protect themselves, their reputation and their business. This episode is essential listening for creators, talent managers, agencies, marketers and brand partners who need to understand emerging risks in the AI era. Learn more about your ad choices.

This would allow Trump’s side to subpoena Fed documents, emails, financial records, and testimony related to the renovations.

The couple's 8-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander, were included in the process.  Clooney went on to explain that he feared raising his children in Los Angeles. “I was worried about raising our kids in L. A., in the culture of Hollywood. I felt like they were never going to get a fair shake at life. France—they kind of don't give a shit about fame. I don't want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi.

Hale's parents suggested this two years ago and this report appears to confirm that. The Tennessee Star reports: Latest FBI Release of Covenant School Manifesto Files Appears to Confirm Trans-Identified Killer Bought Guns with Pell Grant Money The FBI on Monday released another 230 manifesto pages written by Audrey Elizabeth Hale, the biological female who identified as a transgender man on March 27, 2023, when the 28-year-old killed six at the Covenant School in Nashville, the Christian elementary school she once attended. This latest journal appears to have been written sometime in late 2021, and includes lengthy sections about the weapons the killer planned to use to commit a mass shooting at a school sometime that year. Following multiple pages full of weapons to purchase, the journal includes a page labeled “Account Savings Record,” which appears to reference the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It also records multiple payments received from Nossi during the period when Hale attended the Nossi College of Art and Design in Nashville. “FASFA [sic] grant checks started at $2,050.86,” wrote Hale at the top of the entry. The page then lists a series of apparent ledger entries, starting with, “$2,656.87 (x3 checks from Nossi).” The next ledger entry states, “+$530.00 (x1 check Nossi) ($3,186.87).” This reference to Hale's federal student aid, located in the writings next to her entries about guns she considered buying, appears to corroborate the claims made by her parents to Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) detectives in 2023, when they told law enforcement their child purchased the firearms using federal Pell Grant money.  Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/2005425950306263265?s=20 War/Peace https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2005747398614847766?s=20 https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/2005757621278761205?s=20 Trump clarifies that if Hamas do not disarm like they promised, that any number of the 59 countries who signed onto the peace deal, will completely wipe out Hamas.  Protests Erupt Across Iran As Angry People Flood Streets  The mullahs have ruled in Iran since 1979. So you had millions that went to helping to prop up the terrorist state. But the Iranians are a persistent people, it would appear, especially when you hurt them in their wallets and make it challenging to survive. We’re at another one of those moments in history where hope has sparked again in the country, and people are in the streets, calling for change. Nationwide strikes and protests by merchants continued across Iran, with shops shuttered in major commercial hubs including Tehran's Grand Bazaar, Lalehzar Street, Naser Khosrow and Istanbul Square. Demonstrators chanted anti-government slogans calling for the downfall of the ruling clerics and demanding the leadership step aside. Video circulating online showed protesters inside a major shopping complex in Tehran's Grand Bazaar chanting, “Have no fear, we are all together,” while hurling insults at security forces and calling them shameless. Source: redstate.com Crushed by inflation, soaring living costs, and a future stolen by the regime, Iranians are back in the streets to protest. In a chilling echo of Tiananmen's Tank Man, one man defiantly sits down before the riot police. Desperation has met courage. Funds have been cutoff to the Mullahs/DS. They will lose control in the end and the people will rise up and take back their country. Cyber attacks ‘tipping point' warning issued after Harrods and M&S targeted Cyber attacks surged into prominence in 2025, inflicting significant financial damage on major British businesses and exposing widespread vulnerabilities across the economy. High-profile targets included automotive giant Jaguar Land Rover, retail stalwart Marks & Spencer, and luxury department store Harrods, underscoring how firms of all sizes are susceptible to sophisticated digital threats. Andrew Bailey, governor of the Bank of England, articulated his belief that cyber attacks represent one of the most substantial threats to UK financial stability, stressing the “critically important” need for collaborative defence. He stated: “Cyber attacks are far from new, but 2025 has shown just how deeply cyber risk is intertwined with economic stability and business continuity.” Source:  uk.news.yahoo.com  President Trump Responds to the 91-Drone Attack on Putin's Residence in Novgorod region During an impromptu press availability beside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Trump responded to a question about a drone attack against the personal residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin. President Trump noted that he was informed of the attack by President Putin during an early Monday phone call between the two leaders. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has denied the accusation that Ukraine carried out this particular attack.  The attack took place while Zelenskyy was in Florida meeting with President Trump. U.S. media have said the attack on Putin may be a lie; however, with physical evidence from the defense operation, it is less likely Russia just made up the attack.  At this moment in the conflict, Putin doesn't need domestic propaganda. CONTEXT: British intelligence previously confirmed their participation in the successful Ukraine drone attack against long-range Russian bombers.  That operation, highly controversial at the time, was previously confirmed by President Trump saying the U.S. was not informed in advance. The “coalition of the willing” has also expanded.  Outside the Ukraine regime, the current group making up the “coalition of the willing” includes: the U.K, France, Germany, Canada and Australia.  It is worth noting the additions are all part of the British commonwealth (U.K, Canada, Australia).   I suspect the British did it Source: theconservativetreehouse.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2005810672672624746?s=20   and utilities have materially underperformed the broader market over the last few years.

Medical/False Flags [DS] Agenda Soros family reportedly donated more than $71,000 to Letitia James campaigns Leftist billionaire George Soros and members of his family have donated more than $71,000 to political campaigns supporting New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James since 2019, according to a report published Sunday by the New York Post. The report, citing campaign finance records, said the total includes $31,000 contributed toward James' 2026 reelection bid. Soros personally donated $18,000 in July 2024, while his daughter-in-law, Jennifer Soros, contributed $13,000 in May. With earlier donations included, Soros and his family have provided James with roughly $40,000 more since 2019, the Post reported. The figure does not include the indirect support James has received through left-leaning organizations backed by Soros. The report said Soros' Open Society Foundations have given more than $865,000 to the New York branch of the Working Families Party since 2018.

I wanted to share some info with you that you might find interesting. I was trained by U.S. Military people off the books starting in college. I have been on projects since that time in Eastern Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Africa. All in the line of duty what I thought was right and in the best interest of the United States. Recently I was approached about a project that Tim Walz wanted done, and Keith [unclear] was also aware of the project. Tim wanted me to kill Amy Klobuchar and Tina [unclear]. Tim wants to be a senator and he doesn't trust [unclear] to retire as planned and this is meant to stay in the last mile with Amy & [unclear] gone. Tim would get one of the open senate seats, and [unclear] was to be VP, and Keith Ellison would be rewarded with a lucrative governing position. I told Tim I wanted nothing to do with it and that I didn't call off that plan I would go public. He said he would call it off himself if I didn't play ball. Then he set up a meeting with me and [unclear] and [unclear] to take care of me when I refused. They had some people waiting to kill me. I was able to get away by God's mercy. So I went back a short time later and shot back at [unclear]. You should notice how I didn't fire me rounds at any police officers and by God I have plenty of opportunity. Ask for the report on how many weapons and ammunition I had with me. Cops were pulling up right next to me in unmarked vehicles and I had an AK pistol across my lap. And I could have left a pile of cops dead but I did not. Short burst towards law enforcement. You can ask them. Because I snapped the police and chose not to see them hurt. But it may end up my wife and kids next time. I won't give them a pass. If you think I'm making this up just get on the phone and tell Tim you have a few questions for him. Then ask Tim Walz if he knows me and see what he says? If he says he doesn't know me, or never met me, look in the files and you will see that Tim personally approved me to be on his Governor's workforce. Bridges are the business representatives. He is probably trying to destroy that note but it is public record. Then ask Tim Walz why they kept the shots silent from the media when they first happened. Not a word in the press and I. Why? They needed to get their stories figured out. So everyone was on the same page about what happened. Tim is probably crapping bricks right now because I'm still at large and he knows what I can disclose and that I know about all the buried skeletons are. So I will be shot on sight you can bet on that. If you want me to turn myself in it need to be directly to you and then I need to be held at a military prison or in the Middle East, or at least on a ship.

One voice per 700,000 people. The founders envisioned one per 30,000. That ratio was frozen in 1929, locked by the Permanent Apportionment Act, ensuring the number would remain manageable. Manageable for whom? One hundred senators. 535 total legislators controlling the direction of the largest economy in human history. You do not need to purchase a nation. You purchase 535 people. Or fewer. Buy the committee chairs. Fewer still. Buy the leadership. A few dozen individuals, properly leveraged through money or blackmail (it's actually both), steer everything. The bottleneck is artificial. Engineered for efficient capture. The Federal Reserve arrived in 1913, transferring monetary sovereignty from the people to a private banking cartel. That same year, the 17th Amendment removed state legislatures from Senate appointments, severing the balance between federal and state power. The intelligence apparatus emerged after World War II as a parallel government operating beyond electoral accountability. The administrative state metastasized into an unelected fourth branch writing rules with the force of law. Layer upon layer. Each generation inherits chains from contracts they never signed, bound by compromises made long before their birth. Yes, the Founding Fathers intended for the House of Representatives to expand as the population grew. The U.S. Constitution’s Article I, Section 2 established an initial apportionment ratio of no more than one representative per 30,000 inhabitants (with each state guaranteed at least one), implying that the total number would increase based on census results every ten years. the framers expected regular adjustments to maintain proportional representation as the nation expanded.  James Madison, in Federalist No. 58, directly addressed concerns that the House might not grow, arguing that the Constitution’s mechanisms—such as decennial reapportionments—would “augment the number of representatives” over time, and that political incentives (e.g., larger states pushing for increases) would ensure it happened.  This intent is further supported by the proposed (but unratified) Congressional Apportionment Amendment from the original Bill of Rights, which aimed to set a formula preventing the House from becoming too small relative to the population.  However, the House was permanently capped at 435 members by the Apportionment Act of 1929, diverging from this original vision. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2005740095979069669?s=20   attempt instead chase smaller game, run interference, attack each other, send you down rabbit holes, and offer limited hangouts that lead nowhere.

Many variables must be accounted for and many pieces must be in place before we can do something of this magnitude. But if you've been paying attention, you'd see that much of these things have already been taken care of over Trump's first year. I'm more optimistic than I've ever been, and frankly I don't understand how people don't see what Trump is doing. The price to pay for striking early, could result in mass civilian casualties, the entire operation will be ruined, the Republic will fall to the Deep State, and all of us will be tax/labor slaves forever. We can't afford to miss. Everything must be perfect, and Trump is putting the pieces into place to make it happen.
