Surgical conferences are a forum of the profession–where we all gather to socialize, share clinical experiences, promote academic work, and learn from each other. But what goes into putting these conferences together? In this next installment of the BTK/ASGBI collaborative series, Jon Williams and ASGBI co-hosts Kellie Bateman and Jared Wohlgemut welcome Mr. Dimitrios Damaskos from Edinburgh and Dr. Anne Lidor from the University of Wisconsin to take a look behind the scenes of conference planning. We'll cover logistics, program selection, how surgical societies strive to support their members and trainees, and much more! Mr Dimitrios Damaskos, initially from Greece, he came to the UK for his fellowship and is a UGI and Emergency General Surgical Consultant with an interest in abdominal wall surgery based in The Royal Infirmary Edinburgh. He is the current Director of Scientific Programme for ASGBI and responsible for organising our main International Congress which this year happens to be in Edinburgh. He has also held numerous other events for surgical societies including the British Hernia Society. Dr. Lidor serves as the program chair for the Society for American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (i.e. SAGES), which is a wide-reaching US-based international surgical society that encompasses many facets of general surgery. The SAGES Annual Meeting was just last month, and is a great opportunity for surgeons to convene and share clinical experiences, academic work, and professionally connect. Dr. Lidor completed medical school at the New York Medical College, and then moved on to George Washington University for general surgery residency training. Following residency, she moved to Baltimore to Johns Hopkins where she completed her MIS/Bariatric Surgery fellowship and subsequently stayed on as a faculty surgeon. After years at Hopkins during which she held many education leadership roles both at the medical school and as fellowship director, she moved to the University of Wisconsin to become Chief of Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgery, a role she continues to hold today.

Labour grandee concerned at his party's further cuts to welfare spending. Plus: celebrations in Newcastle, live metal detecting and plant music. On the papers: Jon Williams, I. Stephanie Boyce and Ailbhe Rea.
This week, we are joined by Jon Williams, Vulnerability Researcher from Bishop Fox, discussing "Tearing Down (Sonic)Walls: Decrypting SonicOSX Firmware." Bishop Fox researchers reverse-engineered the encryption protecting SonicWall SonicOSX firmware, enabling them to access its underlying file system for security research. They presented their process and findings at DistrictCon Year 0 and released a tool called Sonicrack to extract keys from VMware virtual machine bundles, facilitating the decryption of VMware NSv firmware images. This research builds upon previous work, including techniques to decrypt static NSv images and reverse-engineer other encryption formats used by SonicWall.

What makes a city like Bentonville buzz with energy and promise? Our latest episode explores this question over a glass of Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series, a bourbon so smooth it had us all in agreement—a rarity! We toast to the vibrant business scene that has us predicting Bentonville's rise to become the Times Square of Northwest Arkansas by 2025. Join us for spirited discussions about the interplay of humor, sports mishaps, and the art of engaging an audience, whether it's on the court or in front of a microphone.Sharing the spotlight with us is Jon, whose personality is as big as his heart. Our friendship began at a charity event involving plastic forks and steak, blossoming into shared moments at everything from barbershop recruitment to Razorback games. In a world where the muscle memory of sports meets the unpredictability of live events, we laugh through stories of air balls and missed shots, reliving the thrill and occasional embarrassment that come with being under the spotlight. These anecdotes are a testament to the fun of live engagements and the community that rallies behind lesser-known sports, where talent like Izzy Higginbottom shines.Our conversation shifts to family success stories and career paths in entertainment, as we reflect on personal journeys and the small world of professional connections that support young talent like my son Jack in filmmaking. From radio partnerships that have thrived for nearly two decades to the dynamic hairstyling scene in Fayetteville, we unravel tales of hustle, dedication, and support systems that make pursuing passions possible. Listen in for a blend of humor, camaraderie, and a genuine celebration of the people and stories that shape our lives.

However, he did achieve that goal at a pretty interesting time. In his interview with WGY's Doug Goudie, he talks about how just 30 days after opening the dealership in November 2019, General Motors went on strike. About 90 days later, the Covid-19 pandemic began. At first, there was concern, not knowing which direction the automotive industry would go, but it ended up taking a turn in the opposite direction & became the best timing they could have asked for. Like so many other businesses, Guelcher & his team have also dealt with supply chain issues over the past couple years. Between the parts & microchip shortages, Guelcher has stayed true to the core values of his business to carry them thru.

Jon Williams from Bishop Fox is sharing their research on "It's 2024 and Over 178,000 SonicWall Firewalls are Publicly Exploitable." SonicWall published advisories for CVE-2022-22274 and CVE-2023-0656 a year apart after finding that NGFW series 6 and 7 devices are affected by two unauthenticated denial-of-service vulnerabilities. The research states "Our research found that the two issues are fundamentally the same but exploitable at different HTTP URI paths due to reuse of a vulnerable code pattern." They also found that when they scanned SonicWall firewalls with management interfaces exposed to the internet, they found that 76% are vulnerable to one or both issues.

Jon Williams started his outdoor living business 2 seasons ago and very quickly cracked the $1 million dollar revenue milestone. This year he's added 7 people to their team, investing in equipment, and getting the infrastructure of the business established. The biggest factor that allowed him to achieve this so quickly was his relentless focus on getting their numbers dialed in correctly from the start. So often entrepreneurs start out on business and don't fully realize just how much running business costs, and then what they THOUGHT was going to be their profit, gets wiped out by paying for all those overhead expenses. Not Jon. Be like Jon and build a budget and get your numbers dialed in. Let's be profitable in 2023!

"I had to draw on my own resilience and grit to keep believing that yes, I could do this." - Jo-Ná Williams How can firm owners achieve a version of success that reaches the top while honoring personal development? What drew the young entrepreneur to the creative industry of singing and songwriting? What fortuitous adversity was the genesis behind Jo-Ná's motivation to become a lawyer? What did she learn from 70 NOs it took her to get one YES? In a world vocal about prioritizing self-care, is there room for the grind mentality when starting a business? What habits has Jo-Ná adopted to be able to stay in the game — at peak performance — for the long term? Go the Distance Entrepreneurship whispers many promises: freedom, security, autonomy, and creative expression. Success is not possible for the faint of heart or weak-willed. To go the distance, the refrains of “grind” in the church of hustle are nonstop. While striving day after day for perfection, burnout often looms on the horizon, a seemingly inevitable byproduct of securing the win. But what if attorneys could build the firm of their dreams that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside? World-renowned attorney and business strategist Jo-Ná Williams lays legal foundations for businesses to flourish. Under her guidance, business owners have enjoyed seven-figure growth while remaining grounded in personal development goals. She helps create businesses that feel more like home than a war zone, removing the day-to-day constant battle. With 23 years in the entertainment industry, the founder of Jo-Ná Williams has dedicated her life to educating and protecting entrepreneurs. Recently named a Top 40 Lawyer under 40 by the National Black Lawyers, she has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Black Enterprise, Fortune, and more. She discusses the grit necessary to achieve her goals, the paradox of self-care in entrepreneurship, and marrying the internal measures of success with the needs of an evolving industry. The Secret to Being Happy Success is measured by internal satisfaction. Jo-Ná reminds us that the success of others should serve as inspiration for what is possible, not the ever-moving benchmark of personal achievement. Combine the achievements of others with personal goals to level up. As attorneys and entrepreneurs, the goals that dictate our measure of success can be shifted or changed entirely. Evaluate the trajectory. Trust yourself to know what you want. Chart a new course when necessary. "When I am in alignment with my values, grounded, caring for my internal and external wellbeing, I'm not worried about what everyone else thinks I should be doing. I know that I am on track, and I feel most successful." - Jo-Ná Williams Key Takeaways: Ask for help. Hire advisors to help run the firm. Even the best education can't teach you everything. Success is never achieved in isolation. Slow down to maintain velocity. To successfully navigate challenges, firm owners must be creative and malleable. Take time out to reset, recenter, and recover. Sidestep burnout and come back stronger. Give more. Shift your focus to helping others succeed. Gratitude and a sense of accomplishment are natural byproducts of each win.
