What is up fraud fighters, and welcome to Fraud Forward!AI is accelerating fraud, 100 percent. But the bigger risk, the thing that should keep every fraud leader up at night, is what happens when fraud teams stop thinking strategically because the queue never ends.In Part 2 of Fraud Forward, I'm back with Ted Josephson, VP of Bank Fraud & Credit Strategy at Synchrony Financial, and we are getting into fraud leadership at the enterprise level, where strategy, AI, automation, and culture collide.Because let me just assure you, fraud prevention at scale requires more than tools. It requires fraud leadership strategies, fraud team leadership that protects time for long-term planning, and strategic fraud solutions that can separate normal fraud noise from the signals of a true fraud shift.Then we get direct about AI. Where it's delivering real value today, where the industry is still overhyping “AI” that is not actually learning, and why certain decisions, especially first-party fraud, should never be fully automated without human accountability and empathy.And fraud fighters, we close with what Ted thinks is being underestimated right now, and it's big. Agentic commerce creating a new accountability and disputes nightmare, plus the rise of casual “friendly fraud” as a cultural norm. Because fraud prevention evolution is not just a technology program, it is bank fraud leadership and credit risk leadership in action. This is fraud prevention innovation, and it demands strategic fraud decisions.What you'll hear in this episode:How enterprise fraud teams protect time for long-term strategy when fraud never stopsWhy planning cannot be an extra, it has to be scheduled like any other critical operating functionHow to tell the difference between normal fraud noise and the signals of a systemic weaknessWhat separates a short-term spike from a true fraud shiftWhere AI is delivering real value today, including consistent case narratives and operational efficiencyWhere the industry is still overhyping “AI” that is not actually learningWhy certain decisions, especially first-party fraud, should never be fully automated without human accountability and empathyWhy agentic commerce could create a new accountability and disputes nightmareHow casual “friendly fraud” is becoming normalized, and why that cultural shift mattersHow banking fraud strategy and credit strategy leadership collide in enterprise fraud teamsYou should listen to this episode if you:Lead fraud solutions leadership efforts and you feel like the urgent is crowding out the importantRun fraud prevention at scale and need a better framework to separate noise from true fraud shiftsAre building fraud leadership development for your team and want practical, real-world strategyManage enterprise fraud teams and need strategic fraud insights you can apply immediatelyOwn bank fraud leadership responsibilities and want to pressure test your strategic fraud solutionsAre navigating credit risk leadership decisions alongside fraud risk and disputesAre worried about agentic commerce, dispute accountability, and what comes nextAre watching “friendly fraud” become a cultural norm and need fraud leadership strategies to respondIf you liked this episode, be sure to subscribe and review the podcast on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Michael Hunter — Leading from the Inside Out: The Science of Calm in Chaotic TimesWhat if calm isn't the absence of chaos — but your competitive advantage?In this episode of the People/AI Strategy Forum, Sam Reeve sits down with Michael Hunter, author of The Resilient Tech Leader, to explore how leaders can metabolize turbulence instead of being consumed by it.As AI accelerates change, urgency multiplies, and burnout rises, many leaders feel like everything is a priority — which makes everything impossible. Michael shares a science-backed, field-tested approach to building calm from the inside out so you can make cleaner decisions, execute consistently, and help your team do their best work — even when the fire alarms are blaring.Drawing from his background in high-pressure tech environments, Michael explains why the most important system you'll ever upgrade isn't your tech stack — it's you.In this episode, we cover:Why multitasking destroys effectiveness (and what to do instead)How to triage chaos in 10 minutesThe hidden cost of context switchingA practical one-page focus routine to protect your attentionThe power of “tiny experiments” to build resilienceHow to align heart, mind, body, and spirit in leadershipWhy anxiety about the future is often a confidence gapThe “chain of meaning” exercise to clarify what really mattersHow leaders can design a legacy that outlives their titleMichael reframes resilience as a learnable process — not a personality trait. Through small steps, lightweight rituals, and awareness of your “notice me nudges,” you can build the internal steadiness required to lead in chaotic times.Key takeaway:You don't need perfect calm to lead well. You just need the next tiny step.If this conversation resonates, subscribe, rate, and share with a leader who needs to hear it.Guest: Michael Hunter, Author of The Resilient Tech Leader Host: Sam Reeve, CEO of CompTeam Show: People/AI Strategy Forum (powered by CompTeam)If you enjoyed this episode, follow the People/AI Strategy Forum on your preferred podcast platform and join the conversation!

In On the Other Side of Pain, Laurel Boivin explores pain as an inevitable part of the human experience—and a powerful catalyst for transformation when it is met with honesty, care, and time. Rather than bypassing or minimizing pain, this episode invites listeners to slow down, feel what needs to be felt, and trust the nonlinear process of healing.Laurel reflects on how pain lives in the body, why we are not meant to carry it alone, and what it means to be truly resourced while healing. From honoring grief and loss to choosing whether pain hardens or softens us, this conversation gently guides listeners toward the awareness, perspective, and compassion that often emerge on the other side of pain.This conversation focuses on: Why dismissing pain—or rushing to meaning—can slow healing rather than support itThe importance of allowing grief, loss, anger, and disappointment to be felt and honoredWhat it means to be “well resourced” while processing pain, and why support mattersHow pain can shape who we become without defining or diminishing usThe choice pain presents: hardening for protection or softening with awareness and compassionJournaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration. Who am I now, on the other side—or in the midst—of this experience?How has this experience changed my path, my priorities, or the way I see my life?What did I learn about myself during the healing and processing, not just from what happened?What knowledge, wisdom, or insight do I now carry that I didn't have before?Who might benefit from what I know now, and how might I share it in a human, grounded way?Where do I notice pain living in my body, and what might help me release or soften it?In what ways has pain clarified what truly matters to me?When I think about this experience, do I notice myself hardening or softening—and what choice feels most supportive right now?What beliefs, faith, or inner trust help me remember that my life is still unfolding?What feels different in me today, even if I don't feel “better”—and how can I honor that shift?Host/Cohost/Guest InfoGuiding others to become effective leaders of their own lives, Laurel Holland has been on a journey of awakening and transformation throughout her life.

Summary In this episode of the Faith and Work podcast, Ross Chapman and Brian Gray explore the complex relationship between identity and work from a Christian perspective. They discuss how societal pressures often lead individuals to derive their sense of worth from their professional accomplishments, contrasting this with the biblical view that identity is rooted in being in Christ. The conversation delves into the implications of this understanding for personal fulfillment, burnout, and the nature of work itself, emphasizing the importance of recognizing work as a good thing but not the ultimate source of identity.

Saunders and OT/ICS security expert Mike Holcomb, founder of UTILSEC, for a candid discussion about the weaknesses attackers exploit inside industrial environments. Mike shares what he repeatedly finds during assessments of large OT and ICS networks: no effective firewall between IT and OT, flat networks with little segmentation, stale Windows domains, shared engineering credentials, exposed HMIs, and OT protocols that will accept commands from any reachable host. He explains how attackers move from IT into OT using familiar enterprise techniques before pivoting into PLCs, RTUs, safety systems, and historians. Joe outlines why secure-by-design practices, higher software quality, and “secure by demand” procurement are critical to long-term resilience—especially as cloud connectivity and AI accelerate modernization in industrial environments.

This week on RUNWITHALLI LIVE, I'm joined by David Machin, Lead Community Organizer for Health Poverty Action, the charity I'm fundraising for as I prepare to run the 2026 London Marathon.I'll be honest: there were things I learned in this conversation that I didn't even know before diving into the topics David breaks down in this episode. It was eye-opening. I believe it will be for you, too.We discuss the reality of health poverty and why it's not a quick fix. This conversation goes beyond temporary solutions or ultra-processed “quick” foods. It's about long-term infrastructure funding, access to healthier food options, and healthcare systems that sustainably serve communities.David also explains why unrestricted funding is so critical. When funds aren't tightly restricted, organizations have the flexibility to respond where needs are greatest. Something that's especially urgent right now as government aid is being cut in ways we haven't seen before, creating widening funding gaps across global health systems.In this episode, we explore:The difference between health and health equity, and why that distinction mattersHow systemic barriers, the climate crisis, and political decisions directly impact access to careWhy NGOs are under increasing pressure, and how resilience means continuing the work even when it feels like getting punched in the faceWhy advocacy and holding decision-makers accountable for healthcare and funding cuts are JUST as important as fundraisingThe hard truth is this: things may get worse before they get better. Health poverty is systemic and deeply rooted, leading to preventable illness, disease, and loss of life in communities with inaccessible health resources.And yet what left me hopeful is that Health Poverty Action is doing the work anyway.

Let Your Body LeadIn a world that moves at relentless speed, many of us find ourselves living almost entirely in our heads—rushing, pushing, managing time, and overriding the quiet wisdom of the body.In this episode, I invite you to slow down and explore sensual, non-linear movement as a gentle yet powerful pathway back into presence, healing, and inner rhythm.We explore the difference between Kronos time—clock time, productivity, and pressure—and Kairos time, or soul time: the spacious, cyclical rhythm where the body naturally heals, digests, and integrates life.Through reflection, teaching, and a guided embodied practice, you'll be invited to release story and let sensation lead you home.This episode is especially supportive if you've been feeling:overwhelmed or overstimulateddisconnected from your bodyemotionally stuck or looping in your mindtense, numb, or out of synccurious about movement as medicine rather than exerciseIn this episode, we explore:Why the body heals in Kairos time, not Kronos timeHow digestion, repair, and emotional processing require safety and slownessWhat “sensation over story” really means—and why it mattersHow sensual, wave-like movement supports nervous system regulationWhy pleasure, breath, and rhythm are essential for modern womenA gentle 5-minute sensual movement practice to help you drop into soul timeThis is an invitation to let your body lead, to listen inwardly, and to reconnect with the wisdom that's already alive within you.Let's dive in!

Motherhood overwhelm is something nearly every mom experiences — even in a world filled with modern conveniences. In today's heartfelt and practical conversation I chat with Jamie Erickson, homeschool mom of five, author of The Overwhelmed Mom, and host of the Mom2Mom Podcast, to explore why overwhelm feels so pervasive for twenty-first-century mothers and how we can find peace without trying to fix everything at once.Jamie shares her personal journey into homeschooling, how her background as a classroom teacher shaped her convictions, and why God's calling for one family isn't a mandate for all. Together, Amy and Jamie unpack the difference between everyday tiredness and deeper overwhelm, identifying three distinct types of overwhelm that require different responses.You'll hear Jamie explain how comparison, overcommitment, and taking on responsibilities that belong to others often fuel exhaustion. She offers a freeing perspective on “living in your season,” encouraging moms to see God's boundaries not as limitations, but as protection — especially when seasons feel long or unending.One of the most powerful moments in the episode comes when Jamie shares a deeply personal story of crisis while writing her book, when her son became critically ill. Through that experience, she witnessed how faithful routines and a strong Christian community became tangible expressions of God's care during acute overwhelm.This conversation is filled with practical wisdom, including:How small, incremental changes can dramatically reduce stressWhy narrating a better story about your life mattersHow five-to-ten-minute pockets of time can be redeemedWhy community is essential during overwhelming seasonsHow the Gospel meets us in burnout and sufferingIf you are a mom who feels stretched thin, burdened, or stuck in survival mode — whether you homeschool or not — this episode will encourage you to slow down, release unnecessary guilt, and trust God with what you were never meant to carry alone.

The post-holiday letdown, cold weather, darker days, disrupted routines, snow days, travel, sick kids — it all adds up. And suddenly those well-intentioned New Year goals feel heavier than expected. In today's Weight Loss Wednesday episode, we're having an honest conversation about pivoting instead of quitting — and why the “I'll start later” mentality keeps so many women stuck. You'll hear why every choice still matters, even when the day doesn't go as planned, and how learning to flex with life (instead of fighting it) can be the difference between long-term success and another restart cycle. We also dive into a powerful coaching moment around “Last Supper Syndrome” — that urgent, sneaky mindset that shows up when change feels temporary or restricted (like waiting on a medication switch or a disrupted routine). Recognizing it early can save weeks — or months — of lost momentum. This episode is your reminder that: You don't need a perfect day to make progressYou don't need to wait for Monday, February, or “when things calm down”And you are not failing — you're simply navigating real lifeIn this episode, we cover: Why January often feels harder than we expectHow rigid planning leads to the “start over” cycleWhat to do when routines are disrupted by travel, weather, or family lifeThe “Last Supper Syndrome” mindset and how to stop it in its tracksWhy 10 minutes of movement still mattersHow small choices compound into real resultsA simple visual tool to help you see your daily “votes” for healthWhy accountability and coaching accelerate awareness and changeJames Clear says every positive action is a vote for the person you want to become — and you don't need all the votes to win, just the majority.
