Send us a textManaging SEO risk isn't just about playing it safe—it's about building something that lasts. After two decades in the industry, I've watched countless "guaranteed" tactics rise and fall, leaving digital casualties in their wake.The March 2024 Google core update highlights a fundamental truth: while both white hat and black hat tactics can work, understanding the associated risks is crucial. When my team at BroadbandCoUK lost 99% of our Google traffic after the Penguin update, we narrowly avoided collapse. Recovery took well over a year—a timeline that would bankrupt many businesses dependent on organic traffic.Today's controversial tactics, particularly AI content generation without significant human oversight, mirror previous patterns. Google has signalled its intentions clearly, and with thousands of brilliant engineers working on detection, it's only a matter of time before automated penalties become more sophisticated. The short-term gains simply aren't worth the long-term vulnerability for those building lasting digital assets.What many SEO influencers won't tell you is that black hat techniques create significant complications for future business opportunities. During the sale of BroadbandCoUK, I had to provide warranties about our past SEO practices—had we engaged in manipulative tactics, the entire transaction would have been jeopardized. This rarely discussed reality affects your ability to build genuine brand value or exit your business successfully.Want to ensure your content strategy stands the test of time?

This week Drew is joined by Daniel Sperry of the Kansas City star to break down all things Sporting KC this week. Cody unfortunately had some life requirements get in the way of recording this week but should be back next week as usual.Sporting KC struggled to make a substantive imprint on the match in Vancouver, as we had unfortunately predicted might happen last week. Kerry Zavagnin did make substantive tactical changes at halftime that did appear to make a positive impact on the game, but it left us wondering why these choices aren't made to start games rather than in the middle of them. There is a concern that there are two Kerry's, one who puts the tactical plan together and is fairly risk averse a la his mentor Peter Vermes, and the pragmatist game manager that makes the right changes to improve his team's prospects in games that is very different from his predecessor.We also talk about a lot of MLS Hot Stove topics(that unfortunately do not include Sporting KC yet), as well as the return of NWSL regular season play for the KC Current this weekend.Music by The Spin Wires

We all are feeling overstimulated and ungrounded, I think, generally speaking, and it's a really hard place to navigate as an employee. It's also a really hard place to lead from.” - Dr. Shonna Waters “No matter what you're selling or producing, there is a human at the beginning of it and at the end of it, at a minimum, right? It's the concept, the leadership of it, the orchestration, no matter how much you minimize humans in the process. There's human ingenuity at the top of that chain. And then at the bottom of it, you have your customers.” - Dr. Shonna Waters “There are conscious choices that you can make to lean more into that idea that you can grow and practice. And I think for any of us, one way to really encourage ourselves around that is to think back to other things that you've done that got easier over time or you were able to improve your skills.” - Dr. Shonna Waters Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

And you could just see them all sitting there, five of them with their eyes completely glazed over, having no idea what was going on. And I sort of stepped in and I said we need to speak English to people, right? And you know, it's great to throw around all the terminology and I am the biggest insurance geek. So you get me on the phone with insurance people and that's what we will speak, acronyms just like engineers will, right? We will, we will speak all of that sort of insurance ease that's there.

Imagine you're running a nonprofit. You've got a mission that matters, a staff that believes in it, and a community that depends on you. And then, without warning, a key piece of funding evaporates. Not because of anything you did—or didn't do—but because the world shifted, policy changed, or a budget line disappeared in Washington. The grant is gone, the plan is upended, and suddenly the future isn't just uncertain—it's fragile.This week, Carrie welcomes back strategist and fundraising expert Nadine Gabai-Botero to sit with the discomfort of our shared reality. Together, they offer a framework, a way to think, respond, and lead in a moment where so many nonprofit leaders are quietly asking themselves: How do I move forward when I can barely hold ground?Nadine shares stories from the field, insights from decades of advising nonprofit leaders, and practical tools for reframing your fundraising case—not just to reflect the urgency of the moment, but to invite donors in as collaborators. From building “resilience funds” to quietly rethinking the purpose of your gala, to using technology to remove friction from giving, Nadine offers a way forward that is both pragmatic and deeply humane.Along the way, they challenge the idea that scarcity must lead to silence. They talk about the courage to be transparent when things aren't perfect, about engaging lapsed donors as latent allies, and about why resilience isn't just a buzzword—it's a posture, a practice, and a way of holding steady in the storm.Somewhere between budget cuts and hopeful pledges, between the noise of a turbulent news cycle and the stillness of a personal letter from a nonprofit director who's never asked before, this episode becomes what so many leaders are craving: a companion in asking the hardest questions.In the end, this is a conversation about values, vulnerability, and the belief that missions—when stewarded with clarity and courage—do more than survive hard times. They rise to meet them.Links & NotesFocus Fundraising: 15 Years of Collaboration & ImpactConnect with Nadine on LinkedIn (00:00) - The Impact on Non-profits (01:21) - Transparency (05:49) - Managing Risk (08:08) - Movements & Pledges Toward Generosity and Action (11:22) - Donor Action (22:14) - Market Impact and Donor Heistance (24:42) - Lessons for your Notes (27:30) - The Mission Partners Commitment to Give
In this episode, Sean Martin speaks with Richard Seiersen, Chief Risk Technology Officer at Qualys, about a new way to think about cybersecurity—one that puts value and business resilience at the center, not just threats.Richard shares the thinking behind Qualys' Risk Operations Center, a new approach that responds directly to a common pain point: organizations struggling to manage vast amounts of telemetry from dozens of security tools without clear direction on how to act. Instead of forcing companies to build and maintain massive internal platforms just to piece together asset, vulnerability, and threat data, Qualys is creating a system to operationalize risk as a real-time, measurable business function.With a background that includes serving as Chief Risk Officer at a cyber insurance firm and co-authoring foundational books like How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk and The Metrics Manifesto, Richard frames the conversation in practical business terms. He emphasizes that success is not just about detecting threats, but about understanding where value exists in the business, and how to protect it efficiently.From Security Operations to Risk OperationsWhile a traditional SOC focuses on attack surface and compromise detection, the Risk Operations Center is designed to understand, prioritize, and mitigate value at risk. Richard describes how this involves normalizing data across environments, connecting asset identities—including ephemeral and composite digital assets—and aligning technical activity to business impact.The Risk Operations Center enables teams to think in terms of risk surface, not just threat surface, by giving security leaders visibility into what matters most—and the tools to act accordingly. And importantly, it does so without increasing headcount.A CISO's Role in the Business of RiskRichard challenges security leaders to break away from purely tactical work and lean into business alignment. He argues that boards want CISOs who think strategically—who can talk about capital reserves, residual risk, and how mitigation and transfer can be measured against business outcomes. In his words, “A successful business is in the business of exposing more value to more people… security must understand and support that mission.”This episode is packed with ideas worth listening to and sharing.

In this episode, Monika begins with a heartfelt discussion on the complex intersection of love, family, and money. She shares emotional real-life examples from listeners who are supporting family members burdened by financial irresponsibility. From parents with speculative debts to spouses with no income, Monika lays out a step-by-step approach to setting financial boundaries without feeling guilty. Her message is clear: love should not come at the cost of personal financial ruin. It's crucial to differentiate between support and enabling, and to prioritize long-term personal security.Next, Monika explains what a market correction is and why it isn't necessarily a bad thing. A 10% to 20% dip in the market is often a natural breather after a strong bull run. Instead of panicking and selling off equity holdings, Monika encourages investors to review their asset allocation and use the correction as an opportunity to invest more strategically. She underscores that timing the market is risky and generally unsuccessful, while a consistent investment approach tends to perform better in the long run.In the listener Q&A, Nidhi asks if she should sell her apartment or keep it for rental income in retirement. Ashwath from Chennai wants clarity on why portfolio rebalancing is necessary and how it affects returns. Alok Shahapurkar seeks help in analyzing the cap-size spread in his mutual fund portfolio, especially when funds contain blended exposures.Chapters:(00:30 – 06:32) Navigating Love, Money and Family Boundaries(06:33 – 07:47) Understanding Market Corrections(07:48 – 11:53) Evaluating Real Estate in a Retirement Portfolio(11:54 – 14:15) The Role of Rebalancing in Managing Risk(14:16 – 16:59) Assessing Market Cap Exposure in Mutual Fundshttps://investor.sebi.gov.in/https://www.valueresearchonline.com/If you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at mailme@monikahalan.com Monika's book on basic money managementhttps://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/Monika's book on mutual fundshttps://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/Monika's workbook on recording your financial lifehttps://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/Calculatorshttps://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.htmlYou can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan.

In this episode, Steve Vancore and FLC Chief of Insurance and Financial Services Chris Krepcho delve into the complexities of risk management within local government. They discuss how risk tolerance varies significantly based on factors like city size, financial reserves, and the unpredictability of certain risks like workers' compensation. The conversation highlights the importance of periodically reassessing risk strategies to adapt to changing costs and conditions.The duo also explores the role of leadership in shaping risk tolerance, noting that some city leaders are more willing to accept risks for potential gains, while others prefer to transfer risks entirely. They touch upon the challenges faced by municipalities in managing insurance rates influenced by global events and local disasters like hurricanes.
From our Exponential Risk breakout session, to joining us on InsTech podcast - this week we are spotlighting Neena Saith's valuable discussion on the science of resilience. Resilience is a familiar term in insurance, often associated with mitigating risk and protecting against natural disasters. But what about resilience at a personal level? How can individuals in high-pressure roles manage stress effectively and maintain their well-being? In this episode, Matthew Grant brings back Neena Saith, a former colleague and catastrophe risk analyst turned stress and resilience specialist, about the importance of managing personal stress in the workplace. Neena shares her journey from catastrophe modelling to working with individuals and organisations to help them recognise, understand and address stress. Together, they explore the physical and psychological impacts of stress, how organisations can create a healthier work culture and practical techniques for managing stress in high-pressure environments.
