With Wen Nottebohm—Managing Director, Wealth Advisor at Cresset Overview Wen Nottebohm of Cresset joins Mindy Diamond to share the next gen perspective: how advisors can design their own growth path, earn credibility among UHNW clients, the value of mentors, the influence of AI, and much more.

Watch… https://youtu.be/jmtqqBQ9C80 About this episode… There's a fairly well-defined career path for most financial advisors. You spend the early years learning the business, supporting senior advisors, and gradually taking on more responsibility. When it comes to ultra-high net worth clients, that timeline tends to stretch even longer, given the complexity and expectations that come with those relationships. But the path isn't always linear. And in some cases, it moves faster than people expect—especially when the focus shifts from simply accumulating experience to developing real expertise and “a seat at the table” early on. That's part of what makes Wen Nottebohm's perspective so compelling. Wen is part of the Atlanta team at Cresset, a $230B+ multi-family office. The team manages roughly $7B in assets, and Wen herself is advising on $1.6B for UHNW families and entrepreneurs. What stands out is not just the scale, but how early in her career Wen stepped into that level of responsibility—and what it actually required to make that work. In this conversation with Mindy Diamond, Wen offers a very real look at the next gen perspective, including: The wirehouse environment—and what made it a successful training ground. The value of a mentor—and how working with Justin Berman helped her move to the next level. Building a book to over $1B—and how she did so in a much shorter timeline than many of her peers. Earning credibility—and what it really takes to build a business and client trust with less of a track record. Working with a sophisticated client base—and how to manage expectations and identify what they really value. The benefit of a firm like Cresset—and how the more personalized culture and boutique feel creates a foundation for growth. The influence of AI—and how it's both changing the dynamic and raising the level of the advisor-client conversation. This episode is a masterclass for next gen and seasoned advisors alike, identifying what it really takes to build a billion-dollar business in a rapidly changing environment and questioning whether the traditional timeline for building an advisory practice is being rewritten in real time.

Justin discusses his work on full-chain membership proofs++, which he's been developing for over six months. He explains that this upgrade, along with Carrot (being developed by Jeff Row), represents significant improvements to Monero's privacy and security features. Justin expresses optimism about implementing these changes before the end of 2025, with code potentially ready for testing within 1-2 months. The conversation also covers the current state of cryptocurrency, including Trump's involvement with meme coins, quantum resistance in cryptocurrencies, and various technical improvements being made to Monero. Justin details how wallet sync times could improve by 60-70% with upcoming changes, and discusses the growing developer community, particularly around the Cuprate project (a Rust implementation of Monero).

TODAY'S

Originally recorded in September of 2021...today's guest is Justin Berman, the Vice President of Infrastructure and IT and the CISO at Thirty Madison. Thirty Madison is aiming to be a platform that everyone can use to deal with their chronic healthcare needs. Justin's main focus is on building out the teams that enable scaling. With his development background, Justin has some unique ideas when it comes to cloud security, which makes for a fascinating interview. You'll walk away from this episode with a new perspective on how to build security into products from the start and a better understanding of how to transition smoothly from on-prem to the cloud.Tweetables“I see security as an engineering problem. What I mean by that is not that there aren't things that you solve with process, or with policy, or training, but rather that in as many places as possible if you want to have a scaled effect within security, you need to write code to solve a problem.” — @justinmberman [0:06:03]Justin Berman on LinkedInPhoenix ProjectSimon SinekComprehensive, full-stack cloud security Secure infrastructure, apps and data across hybrid and multi-cloud environments with Prisma Cloud.

Justin Berman, CISO of Thirty Madison, and Michael Coates, CEO and Co-Founder of Altitude Networks, discuss the unique challenges CISO's face, as well as the security demands of taking a startup from Zero to One.

Should it be run internally, by a third party, or should you open it up to the public? Or, maybe a mixture of everything? Check out this post for the basis for our conversation on this week’s episode which features me, David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series, co-host Allan Alford (@allanalfordintx), and guest Justin Berman (@justinmberman), head of security, Dropbox. Thanks to this week's podcast sponsor, Cmd. Cmd provides a lightweight platform for hardening production Linux. Small and large companies alike use Cmd to address auditing gaps, implement controls that keep DevOps safe, and trigger alerts on hard-to-find threats. With out-of-the-box policies that make setup easy, Cmd is leading the way in native protection of critical systems. On this episode of Defense in Depth, you’ll learn: Like red teaming, you need outside eyes looking at your environment and vulnerabilities. There was much debate between internal, private, and public bug bounty programs. But it was agreed that if you do them, that you do them in that order. There was another concern regarding the cost of a bug bounty program. Whether you do them or not, you're still going to pay for coding errors and vulnerabilities one way or another. It's either upfront or later. Those new to bug bounty programs are not aware of the additional costs of management and engaging with the researchers and white hat hackers. That is a critical part of the bug bounty program. Before you begin, set up a system to manage the flow of problems reported. If not, you and your staff could very quickly be overwhelmed. Having a consistent and clear way you handle the findings is often more important than the findings. Have you allocated budget to remediate the findings? Are you going to need to make cases as each weakness is found? Keep in mind that companies don't go into bug bounty programs for the same reason. Some go into it for reasons of publicity or forming relationships with researchers. Communications between your engineers and the bug bounty researchers is critical. If your team is non-responsive, the bug bounty program could backfire. Most people are wary of public bug bounty programs because of the low signal-to-noise ratio. As there is a rush for attention and money, the whole effort may implode.

Vulcan’s vulnerability response automation platform allows enterprises to automate their TVM programs. Vulcan integrates to existing IT DevOps and security tools to fuse enterprise data with propriety intelligence which allows to accurately and subjectively priorities and remediate vulnerabilities - either using a patch workaround or compensating control. On this episode of Defense in Depth, you'll learn: As the CIS 20 concurs, vulnerability management is the first security measure you should take right after asset inventory. Vulnerability management needs to be everyone's issue and managed by all departments. Lots of discussion around vulnerability management being driven by culture which is a very hard concept to define. To get a "vulnerability management culture" look to a combination of awareness and risk management. Vulnerabilities don't get patched and managed without someone taking on ownership. Without that, people are just talking and not doing. Increased visibility across the life cycle of a vulnerability will allow all departments to see the associated risk. Who are the risk owners? Once you can answer that questions you'll be able to assign accountability and responsibility.

In such a hyper-competitive market for security talent, the natural inclination would be to try everything you can to keep your best employees. Unfortunately, even when you do everything right, your best employees just get up and leave. Can you and should you fight it? Or should you go out of your way to make the exit as smooth as possible for your staff? What's the benefit to you when they do leave? On this episode of the CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast, we discuss: 10-second security tip: Vanity metrics aren't going to create a more secure environment. Pitching the latest crisis: We've talked endlessly about how CISOs don't respond well to fear pitches. Similarly, salespeople need to understand that CISOs are aware of last week's Facebook hack. Don't bring the news they already know. Provide some insight. Selling the latest APT: If it's a new threat, it's sexy. It may make for great news, but focusing on it doesn't necessarily make for good security. Shouldn't you be starting with the boring basics? Can security basics ever be sexy? We play "What's Worse?!" Listen up security vendors. You're going to want to pay attention to this one. What do you think of this pitch? This week's pitch comes from a CISO. It's not his pitch to us, but a pitch he received. It kind of misses the mark. We explain why. Retaining security talent: We discuss the InfoSec manager's role in retaining security talent. How do you form a relationship that all exits or near exits go as smoothly as possible? This show, like all the previous ones are hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), founder, Spark Media Solutions and Mike Johnson, CISO, Lyft. Our guest this week is Justin Berman (@justinmberman), CISO of Zenefits.
