Once upon a time in aviation and defense, tier 1 operators held all the cards and led all the innovation. Now the days of “you need us more than we need you” are squarely in the rearview mirror and smaller operators have a lot more power than they ever did before.   In a supply-constrained environment, the big operators rely on every single deliverable from small operators to keep their lines afloat. In terms of innovation, it's no longer the Boeings, Airbuses, and big OEMs leading in the adoption of new technologies.   What does this mean for the future of the whole industry? Could this lead to disruption?   In this episode, Executive Business Editor at Aviation Week Network, Michael Bruno returns, and we discuss what's going on in aviation and defense and the innovation storm headed our way.   There is a tremendous amount of opportunity for suppliers to grow and really shine in a supply constrained environment. -Michael Bruno     Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    - The shift in aviation power dynamics In such a supply chain constrained environment, do the tier-1 operators need the smaller guys more than they need them?    - Business aviation, from zombie industry to profitable powerhouse Have the last few years brought many ailing sectors back from the brink?    - Getting Boeing back on track There's no way Boeing will emerge from this decade the same, what can we expect to change?    Guest Bio   Michael Bruno is the Executive Business Editor at Aviation Week Network. A recipient of the Jesse H. Neal award, known as the 'Pulitzer Prize of business media', Michael covers aviation, aerospace, and defense businesses, their supply chains, and related topics.

It’s the initial installment in her Hacker Trilogy series.  Deb is the first investigative journalist to make cybercrime a beat. Since 1996, she has been embedded in the hacker and law enforcement communities learning their techniques, lifestyles and philosophies that make them unique.

Look Left’s Davida Dinerman caught up with Deb to discuss her novels, the latest threats in cybersecurity and a look at some of the pioneering women in cyber security. Here are some highlights of the conversation:01:28 - Overview of Breaking Backbones and a look ahead to the second installment, Information Should be Free.03:51 - Covering from cybersecurity over the past 25 years06:22 - Cyber attacks are longer and better planned than ever10:14 - New cybersecurity roles in IT12:46 - Living in an era of zero trust online15:07 - Pioneering women in cybersecurity 21:21 - Common traits of groundbreaking women in cybersecurity23:47 - Growing diversity in cybersecurity

The aviation business is currently coming off the biggest reset the industry has seen since World War II, and while that brings a host of challenges, it also comes with fantastic opportunities. The sky's the limit, and we're living in exciting times.    What should we expect to see in the near and further-off future in our business? Are we likely to see a bigger move towards eVTOL in the next few years? What are the innovations we're most likely to see implemented?    As we get back into the swing of things after the challenges posed by COVID-19, how can we set ourselves apart from our competitors?    In this episode, Business Editor at Aviation Week, Michael Bruno shares his thoughts on the future of our industry.    "By getting on board with lowering the industry's carbon footprint, we'll be able to show young people that they won't be hurting the world by joining defense and aviation companies." - Michael Bruno     Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    Why an eVTOL revolution might NOT be imminent Helicopters have given us the capability to navigate smaller spaces for years, but for the average person, the concept hasn't completely taken off. Urban mobility is an exciting idea, but it's unlikely to become the next big thing (at least soon).    How increased space travel will impact aviation At the moment, there are so few spaceports that they're not affecting aviation as we know it, but as more people look to explore the next frontier, that's something we'll need to think about. From increased traffic to physical obstructions like spaceports, space exploration will require a new way of thinking.    How to combat competition moving forward With competition comes hostility, but it also makes for better competitors. Instead of finding ways to disqualify other big players, it's up to aviation leaders to up their investments and fine-tune their innovation.   Guest Bio -    Michael Bruno is the Senior Business Editor and Community and Conference Content Manager at Aviation Week.

But even as we look ahead to where we want to go, it’s important to also remember where we came from. With Her Story of Success in Review, we’re revisiting some of our favorite conversations, giving you another chance to be inspired by the amazing women who helped mentor and shape Her Story of Success into the company we are today.  In this episode, Vicki Saunders, Hayley Dickson, Maria Aspen and Arlan Hamilton share their stories of working in finance, an industry predominantly led by white men.

How the Instant Pot Helped This Indian-American Forge Her Ethnic Identity Chandra Ram To be Indian-American means you have a foot in two cultures. For Chandra Ram, author of The Complete Indian Instant Pot Cookbook, America is home, but some part of her identifies as Indian as well. She didn’t want to let go of Indian culture as her parents were encouraged to do when they immigrated a generation ago, but she didn’t always know how to claim it for herself. Although she was always interested in food and cooking and went on to study at the Culinary Institute of America and cook at restaurants including Blackbird, it was hard to find her footing with Indian dishes that required hours in the kitchen, simmering lentils, curing pickles and fermenting dosa batter. She didn’t have as strong a background in Indian food as she would have liked, and felt a barrier to really explore the cuisine. Weirdly, it took buying an Instant Pot to bring generations of family meals back into her kitchen. The Instant Pot opened a door to making her feel connected to her family and their food traditions, even while living a whiplash-fast American life. She could cook chana masala on a weeknight (starting with dried chickpeas!); make rasam at the first sign of a cold; and look her visiting auntie in the eye and tell her that she was making — not buying — her lime pickle. Do join us as Chandra recounts Indian food culture and reveals how she found her ethnic identity while creating both traditional and modern Indian recipes for the Instant Pot. Copies of her book will be available for purchase. Chandra Ram spent 15 years working as a cook, bartender, server and consulting chef before turning to food writing and editing Plate, an award-winning food magazine that challenges chefs to take food further. She is a James Beard- and IACP-nominated cookbook author and holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from Loyola University Chicago, an associate's degree in culinary arts from The Culinary Institute of America, and has passed the certificate level of the Court of Master Sommeliers exam. She is a member of the International Association of Culinary Professionals, Les Dames d’Escoffier, and the James Beard Foundation award committee. Chandra has won multiple awards for her writing and editing, including the Jesse H. Neal awards, the Folio awards, the Association of Food Journalists award, and the McAllister Editorial Fellowship http://www.culinaryHistorians.org

Scott and I focus on how we make good use of Data Visualization skills that I believe are critical for CIOs to have. Listen to the interview to learn more on how to be a better data visualization guy and methods of being a good data storyteller. Major Take-Aways From This Episode: Why to avoid “click+vis” The importance of incorporating prototyping, sketching, and charting your data visualizations The key to presenting data is not the data or the perfect design, it is the design thinking process Automatic output of data tools is not enough to convey your ideas How to overcome obstacles with conveying ideas + concepts; How to avoid being intimidated Tools Landscape: plot.ly and exploratory The idea of “the power of a beautiful constraint” What you barely need is data; you need to know what the data is telling you (@23:00) When are you putting yourself at a disadvantage with DOT plots It isn’t the slide quota that is important for your presentation, it is the amount of information on a slide that is important Best Methods for Visual Storytelling: Maximum one or two ideas per slide Wrong Metric: The number of slides Correct Metric: Ideas per visual field/ slide About Scott Berinato Scott Berinato is the author of Good Charts: The HBR Guide to Making Smarter, More Persuasive Data Visualizations.
