It might sound like a conspiracy to say that tech workers are subject to a rigged job market designed by billionaires for the consolidation of wealth and power. After 2+ years of continued instability, mass layoffs, a hellacious job market, wage stagnation, RTO mandates, and ever increasing workloads, we need no more proof that Big Tech bosses and their acolytes see workers as disposable cogs in a machine. Amy talks with Lauren Friedman, founder of Workforce Consulting, LLC, to unpack the hidden forces and power plays shaping the tech job market. With extensive experience in tech recruiting and workforce consulting, Lauren spills the tea on the machinations of Big Tech to hoard talent, knowledge, and money as a deliberate business strategy with disastrous consequences for millions of tech workers. Precarity has come to tech work, but you don't have to be a fish in a barrel. We have the individual and collective power to enact change and survive this together. Please support the show!

Lauren has been being treated for Adrenal Fatigue/High-Functioning Complex PTSD since December 2021 after "living" in Survival Mode unknowingly from under the age of two thru 39. Ironically, Lauren was born with a natural ability to connect with others, while being incredibly disconnected from herself.

Through Lauren's transformative, jaw-dropping, can't make this sh*t up healing lifelong Complex Trauma and Sobriety Spectrum™ journey, her soul's purpose and mission on this planet became clear. Now Lauren (LFE) is Championing the HOW-ARE U HEALING™ Revolution as a trauma-informed connector and storyteller.

With applications and users everywhere, the networks are now, more than ever, being tasked with delivering consistent protection while providing an exceptional user experience across multicloud environments (public, private, and hybrid cloud). The accelerated adoption of cloud-based applications and expanded remote workforce have also created significant challenges, including security and connectivity gaps, as well as unprecedented levels of network complexity that NetOps and SecOps teams could not have anticipated. Organizations are rethinking their networking and security strategies to meet the agenda of delivering a secure cloud-first and seamless hybrid work experience. Organizations now require a solution where networking and security functions are completely integrated into a single service. The solution – that intelligently and securely connects their users to the applications they need, regardless of where they are located. These organizations now turn to Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) to reduce complexity, bring security and connectivity closer together, and optimize experiences for users everywhere. The integration of existing networking, such as software-defined WAN (SD-WAN), and cloud-delivered security technologies (such as SWG, CASB, FWaaS and ZTNA) into a unified cloud-based secure connectivity solution is what constitutes SASE. The essence of a true SASE platform is built on SD-WAN architecture, bringing together SD-WAN's core benefits with increased cloud security. SD-WAN extends the network perimeter to the end-user and safely connects the distributed users to distributed resources, all without compromising on the application performance. Figuring out the best approach for your network security can be tricky. Which technology should you adopt? How can you reduce costs and complexity, improve user experience, simplify WAN management, and ultimately secure your network better? With over 30 years of experience in networking and security, and recognition as the leader in WAN edge and zero-trust security, Cisco is the trusted partner for your organization wherever you are on your SASE journey. SASE isn't a one-size-fits-all initiative — and Cisco is uniquely positioned to meet your needs at a pace that is right for you with a complete secure access service edge portfolio. In this episode, we dive into how Cisco+ Secure Connect Now (a turnkey SASE solution powered by the Cisco Security Cloud and the Meraki platform) brings together our best-in-class networking, client connectivity, security, and monitoring capabilities into a single subscription service that will deliver seamless, secure access to any application, over any network, anywhere users work. This turnkey SASE solution is a great option for organizations who want to transition to a single subscription model where they can pay for what they need. No upfront investment or set-up required – just take it and go to everything you need for SASE now.

It's been awhile since we came out with an episode on style or fashion. It was episode eight a long time ago, that was with Luke Storey. It was an amazing episode. If you haven’t read it, you definitely should go and read it. I don't think of myself as having a lot of fashion sense. I did not dress well a decade ago. I didn't know any better. I rely heavily on my wife and also we rely on stylists for things like closet cleanses, outfit combinations, buying new items. A lot of times we’ll buy stuff on our own, but we also will do big buys with our stylist. This topic may seem superficial to some of you. It does feel good to look stylish and to feel you have some competence in this area. It helps in business. It helps if you're dating. It's definitely something worth reading. This is episode number 162. Our guest is Lauren Friedman. Lauren is an artist, stylist and the author and illustrator of three books published by Chronicle Books including her book50 Ways to Wear Accessories. Her first book, 50 Ways to Wear a Scarf, has sold over 200,000 copies and has been translated into multiple languages. She's the creator of the My Closet in Sketches project and Illustrated Style Blog. Lauren's work as a professional illustrator has appeared in numerous publications including Lucky Magazine, Travel + Leisure Magazine and The Washington Post. Her books have been sold at MoMA, The National Gallery ofArt, Paper Source, Target and retailers across the world. In addition, Lauren acts as an image consultant and personal wardrobe stylist for clients in Washington, DC and Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Channeling her inner goddess and empowering women to do the same, Lauren Friedman talks about how fashion and style should bring out that authenticity in you. She is an author, illustrator, stylist, and blogger who creates stories with her outfits. She talks about how women are made to feel small in the patriarchal society and how we can fight back by embracing our vulnerabilities and listening to our inner voices, carrying them out into the world. Discussing also subjects like body shaming, she inspires women to be comfortable with who they are. She also offers some great style tips that can up your style, wardrobe and fashion game that all women can really appreciate.
Lauren Friedman is a US Naval Academy graduate, a veteran, an activist, and one tough cookie who's determined to work hard for the people and community in Ohio that she loves. Plus, Emily's decided on her New Year's resolution. #AugustIntention

How else can social media be used to maximize its power to market a particular brand? The concept of social media enablement seems like a novel approach. But at Adobe, employees themselves have been empowered to build their own personal brands while playing a big and active role for Adobe as it integrates social media into every aspect of its business operations. Apparently, customers have more trust for the average employee when they are active on social media. And, they can be a profound source of expertise for Adobe. Adobe has recognized their employees' crucial role with clients and are actively training them to represent the brand. In this episode, Adobe's Lauren Friedman shares how.

In this Episode: How Lauren started in a startup social media marketing company and got into Adobe through an acquisition How social enablement is defined for Adobe employees in line with its social media business integration How customers trust company employees more to represent real product insights that influence their purchase decisions How social enablement can be applied as both a B2B and B2C strategy for small and large companies The four categories of the social enablement program at Adobe including mindset, tool set, skill set, and habit How companies are implementing this concept of social enablement more than traditional advertising Guiding principles for use in social media branding How to define your purpose and rationale for adapting social enablement as a company and how to start

“In marketing we’re trying to get people to do something. We need to understand why we do what we do. What motivates us?” Building on a career at Coca-Cola and brand consulting, Daryl Weber has devoted himself to connecting the dots of human behavior and branding. He’s the author of the new book Brand Seduction: How Neuroscience Can Help Marketers Build Memorable Brands. We discussed the book and the science behind it on this week’s episode of the On Brand podcast. About Daryl Weber Daryl Weber is a branding consultant whose work has influenced many of the best brands in the world, including Coca-Cola, Nike, Johnnie Walker, Gatorade, Old Spice, and many more. He is the author of Brand Seduction: How Neuroscience Can Help Marketers Build Memorable Brandswhich explores the unconscious side of brands in a way that’s inspiring for creative marketers. Previously, Daryl was Global Director of Creative Strategy at The Coca-Cola Company, where he oversaw brand strategy for many of the company’s global billion-dollar brands. Prior to that, he was a Director of Strategy at Redscout – a boutique brand and innovation consultancy where he advised Fortune 500 companies on new product innovation and brand positioning. Weber has a BA in psychology from Columbia University and resides in Atlanta with his wife, Jennifer, and son, Avi. You can follow him on Twitter @BrandedCortex. Episode Highlights What’s the connection between psychology and marketing? As a psychology major myself, I couldn’t wait to ask Daryl this. “The two are linked I think more than people think.” But where does a marketer start to connect these dots? You have to think about brands differently. That starts with your definition … “Brands are a collection of associations,” Daryl offered a new grounding for our definition of branding. “Not just a logo or icon. Your brand is not an endpoint. It’s a starting point. A vision, a process.” What’s an example of a brand that’s great at understanding their customers’ thinking? “Warby Parker. There’s an in-depth case study in the book. They wanted to telegraph how cool they were so they put together a strategy for doing that. They created a mood board for their brand personality. They knew that they needed to be a lifestyle or fashion brand first.” “Your first step is to look inside yourself as a company.” Daryl noted that brands need to ask, “Why you’re here? Then look outside at the what I call the ‘3 Cs’ — consumers, competitive context, and culture (what’s going on more broadly). Marketers are starting to understand that humans aren’t rational. We have to embrace the messiness that comes with that.” What’s one thing Daryl would tell marketers to do differently today? “It’s not about what you say. They (your audience) won’t remember the content of exactly what you said. But they’ll remember how you said it.” What brand has made Daryl smile recently? “I’m a musician so I love Fender. I don’t even need a new bass but I still find myself looking.” To learn more about Daryl, you can follow him on Twitter and check out his website.

“Employees are trusted more than the organizations they work for.” Citing this simple stat from the Edelman Trust Barometer, Adobe’s Lauren Friedman described her job in a nutshell. As the head of Global Social Business Enablement, Friedman spends her time doing just that. Social engagement, activation, and advocacy across Adobe. We discussed all of this and more on this week’s episode of the On Brand podcast. Enjoy This Episode Now Download Episode Subscribe via iTunes Subscribe via Stitcher About Lauren Friedman Lauren Friedman is the head of Global Social Business Enablement at Adobe. She’s a social marketing authority, with extensive experience working with brands such as Safeway, Levi’s, Hyatt and Disney, to create their social personas, nurture their Facebook and Twitter communities and curate their social conversations. She is currently working across Adobe functions to enable all employees to be successful using social for marketing and community building. Episode Highlights So, what is Global Social Business Enablement? “It’s a mouthful! I infuse social into every aspect of how Adobe does business. I help employees stay true to the Adobe brand and also help them build their personal brand.” Why does personal branding matter? “We believe that people trust people. People buy from people. Relationships fuel our overall success.” While Lauren works to engage employees via social media through one-on-one coaching, they don’t want to brainwash people. “We don’t want to create an army of Adobe-bots!” “I’m product agnostic,” said Friedman. “I can work with the sales team, HR, or product teams. My favorite part of my job is finding a-ha moments.” When employees are able to see how social media engagement impacts their job. What does brand advocacy mean at Adobe? “It’s both internal and external. It started with the employees taking what they’d learned in our Social Shift program. From there, we started thinking — how can we get influencers and customers involved?” Ultimately, Adobe wants everyone to be a part of their brand experience. This was at the forefront during their recent Adobe Remix campaign, where they encouraged creatives to reimagine their logo. Talk about trust! What brand has made Lauren smile recently? “I love brands that do cool, innovative things that step outside of their corporate box.” Examples that have made her smile recently include Baileys for their Instagram soap opera (below) and IHOP’s use of Facebook Live.
