BlueRock is building an agentic security fabric to protect organizations deploying AI agents and MCP workflows. With a $25 Million Series A, founder Bob Tinker is tackling what he sees as a 10x larger opportunity than mobile's enterprise disruption. Bob previously scaled MobileIron from zero to $150 million in five years and took it public in 2014. In this episode of Category Visionaries, Bob shares the strategic mistakes that cost MobileIron its category positioning, why go-to-market fit is the missing framework between PMF and scale, and how B2B marketing has fundamentally transformed in just 18 months. Topics Discussed: Taking a company public: the killer marketing event versus the unexpected team psychology challenges of daily stock volatility Why agentic AI workflows create unprecedented security challenges at the action and data layer, not just prompts The strategic timing of category definition: MobileIron's cautionary tale of letting Gartner define you as "MDM" when customers bought for security Where enterprise buyers actually get advice now that Gartner's influence has diminished AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) replacing SEO as the primary discovery mechanism for B2B solutions Why 1.0 categories have fundamentally unclear ICPs versus 2.0/3.0 products with crisp buyer personas The "high urgency, low friction" framework for prioritizing what to build in nascent markets Go-to-market fit: the repeatable growth recipe that unlocks scaling post-PMF Unlearning as competitive advantage for second-time founders GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Time your category noun definition strategically: MobileIron focused exclusively on solving the problem (the verb) but waited too long to influence category nomenclature. Gartner labeled it "Mobile Device Management" when customer purchase drivers were security-focused, not management. This misalignment constrained positioning for years with no way to correct it. The framework: lead with verb, but proactively shape the noun before external analysts do it for you. Bob's doing this differently at BlueRock by distinguishing "agentic action security" from "prompt security" early, even while the broader market sorts out AI security taxonomy. Use customer language as category discovery, not invention: Bob's breakthrough on BlueRock positioning came from asking prospects: "How would you describe what we do to your peers?" One prospect distinguished their focus on "the action side - taking AI and taking action on data and tools" versus prompt inspection and AI firewalls. This customer-generated framing revealed the natural fault lines in how practitioners think about the problem space. The tactical application: run this exact question with your first 10-15 qualified prospects and pattern-match their language, rather than workshopping category names internally. Engineer for the "high urgency, low friction" intersection: Bob's filtering criteria for BlueRock's roadmap requires both dimensions simultaneously. When a prospect revealed they were building their own MCP security tools - a signal of acute, unmet pain - they also asked BlueRock to add prompt security features. Bob's framework forced a "no" despite clear demand because it would violate low friction. The discipline: if a feature request fails either test (not urgent enough OR too much friction), it doesn't make the cut, even when prospects explicitly ask for it. Accept ICP ambiguity as a feature, not bug, of 1.0 markets: In 2.0/3.0 categories, you can target "VP of Detection & Response" with precision. In 1.0 markets like agentic security, Bob finds buyers across three distinct orgs: agentic development teams building secure-by-default systems, product security teams inside engineering (not under the CISO), and traditional security organizations. His thesis: this lack of crisp ICP definition is actually a reliable signal you're in a genuinely new market. The response: invest in community engagement across all three buyer types rather than forcing premature segmentation. Shift content strategy from SEO to AEO immediately: Bob identifies the clock speed of marketing change as "breathtaking" - what worked 18 months ago is obsolete. The specific shift: ranking above the fold in Google search is now irrelevant. What matters is appearing in the answer box that ChatGPT or Google Gemini surfaces above traditional results. This isn't incremental SEO optimization - it requires fundamentally restructuring content to feed LLM context windows and answer engines rather than keyword-optimizing for traditional search crawlers. Treat go-to-market fit as a distinct inflection point: Bob observed a consistent pattern across MobileIron, Box (Aaron Levie), Citrix (Mark Templeton), Palo Alto Networks (Mark McLaughlin), and SendGrid (Sameer Dholakia) - all hit PMF, hired salespeople aggressively, burned cash, and stalled growth while boards grew frustrated. The missing concept: PMF proves you can create value; GTM fit proves you can capture it repeatedly. It's the "repeatable growth recipe to find and win customers over and over again." The tactical implication: after PMF, resist pressure to scale headcount and instead obsess over making your first 3-5 sales cycles systematically repeatable before hiring your second AE. Build community as primary discovery in fragmented buyer markets: Bob's most different GTM motion versus five years ago: "We're just out talking to prospects and customers - individual reach outs, hitting people up on LinkedIn, posting in discussion boards, engaging with the community." This isn't supplemental to demand gen; it's replaced traditional top-of-funnel. When prospects exist across multiple personas without clear titles, community presence in Reddit, Stack Overflow, and LinkedIn becomes the only scalable discovery mechanism. The benchmark: successful new tech companies have built communities of early users before they've built repeatable sales motions. Practice systematic unlearning as second-time founder discipline: Bob's most personal insight: "What really got in my way wasn't what I needed to learn. It was what I needed to unlearn." The specific application: he's questioning his entire MobileIron marketing playbook because "blindly applying that eight-year-old playbook to marketing or sales will end in tears." His framework: periodic gut checks asking "What assumptions am I making? How should I think about this differently?" rather than letting inertia drive execution. The meta-lesson: success creates muscle memory that becomes liability without deliberate examination. Second-time founders should actively audit which reflexes to preserve versus discard. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Lutero Simango, líder do MDM, Movimento Democrático de Moçambique, na oposição, esteve em Paris nestes últimos dias para participar nomeadamente no Fórum para a Paz organizado pelo executivo francês, com na ementa questões como a protecção do meio ambiente ou ainda o multilateralismo num mundo fragmentado. Nesta quinta-feira 30 de Outubro, o líder do quarto partido mais votado nas eleições gerais de 2024 em Moçambique esteve nos estúdios da Rádio França Internacional. Lutero Simango abordou com a RFI alguns dos destaques da actualidade do seu país, designadamente a situação em Cabo Delgado e o regresso da TotalEnergies anunciado há uma semana. Ele sublinhou a este respeito a necessidade de se conhecer os termos exactos do contrato existente entre o Estado Moçambicano e o gigante dos hidrocarbonetos. Neste sentido, ele vincou que é preciso "garantir a transparência". O responsável político evocou igualmente o contexto económico e social um ano depois da crise pós-eleitoral, com dados oficiais a indicarem que cerca de 3 mil pessoas permanecem sem emprego nem compensações depois da vandalização das suas empresas. Um desafio perante o qual Lutero Simango considera que é preciso criar um ambiente de negócios mais atractivo, para impulsionar a economia. "Nós temos que criar um ambiente em que a população tenha acesso ao emprego, que a população tenha acesso aos alimentos e que a população também tenha acesso à dignidade", insistiu. Antes destes aspectos, o líder do MDM começou por evocar de forma breve o motivo da sua deslocação a Paris. RFI: Esteve nestes últimos dias aqui em Paris, a participar, designadamente no Fórum para a Paz. Como é que foi este fórum? Lutero Simango: Foi interessante e esse fórum teve o lema de reinventar a diplomacia em fase de mudanças. RFI: Relativamente ainda à sua estadia aqui em Paris, manteve também encontros com as autoridades aqui em França. Lutero Simango: Sim. Tive um encontro no Ministério dos Estrangeiros, nomeadamente no Departamento africano. RFI: E, portanto, qual é o balanço que faz deste encontro? Alguma novidade? Lutero Simango: Novidades como tal ainda não existem, mas foi importante de partilhar o nosso pensamento sobre a situação política socioeconómica de Moçambique. E também falámos sobre a situação mundial e do papel que o MDM está a desempenhar no processo do Diálogo nacional inclusivo em Moçambique. RFI: Antes de evocarmos essa questão, se calhar iríamos fazer um pouco um balanço deste ano que passou. Há precisamente um ano, estávamos em plena crise pós-eleitoral. Um ano depois, qual é o balanço preliminar que se pode fazer? Lutero Simango: Um balanço? É difícil fazer. Mas o que se pode assegurar é que a situação está calma. Mas essa acalmia não significa que o descontentamento não existe. Ainda persiste. As pessoas estão saturadas e os níveis da pobreza tendem a subir. Como é sabido, já há dez anos atrás os níveis andavam em 40% e ultimamente andam na casa de 60 a 70%. Há duas semanas foi publicado o índice da pobreza e a posição em que se encontra Moçambique não é boa e também não podemos ignorar os níveis de corrupção generalizada que persiste e os níveis de desemprego. Tudo isto cria uma situação difícil para a nossa população. RFI: Nestes últimos dias foram publicados dados sobre o balanço para a população de Moçambique de todos estes incidentes e nomeadamente, o facto de persistirem 3 mil pessoas sem indemnizações, sem emprego, depois de as suas empresas terem sido destruídas. Lutero Simango: É isso mesmo. Essa é uma situação dramática. É uma situação difícil que nós vivemos. Para ultrapassar, isso requer políticas de reformas e, acima de tudo, requer que o governo assuma o compromisso de um combate real à corrupção e também crie um ambiente propício para os negócios. Porque neste momento que estou a falar aqui consigo, torna-se muito difícil investir em Moçambique pelos níveis de corrupção, pelos níveis de sequestro e rapto, pelos níveis da criminalidade. No entanto, é preciso que se dê uma volta em relação a tudo isto. Nós precisamos de criar um ambiente de segurança e também criar um ambiente de confiança nas instituições públicas. RFI: A União Europeia retirou nestes últimos dias Moçambique da sua "lista cinzenta" em termos de criminalidade ligada, por exemplo, com lavagem de capitais. Julga que isto pode ser um bom sinal? Lutero Simango: Bem, eu também vi a retirada da "zona cinzenta", mas o problema não está por aí, porque nós temos que criar um ambiente em que a população tenha acesso ao emprego, que a população tenha acesso aos alimentos e que a população também tenha acesso à dignidade. Nós sabemos de antemão que em Moçambique muitos trabalham de um dia para se alimentar no dia seguinte. E há níveis de corrupção. E também a nossa economia não está a gerar oportunidades de negócios, muito menos de emprego. E a pergunta se coloca é esta como é que as pessoas estão a sobreviver? Quais são os meios que usam para a sua sobrevivência? Portanto, eu penso o grande desafio que nós temos todos fazer, é trabalhar, é criar um ambiente para que a nossa economia seja, de facto, uma economia vibrante. É a condição necessária de criar oportunidades e emprego aos cidadãos. Quando o índice de desemprego tende a aumentar cada vez mais, cria um maior espaço para o branqueamento do capital. Cria maior espaço para o desemprego. Portanto, eu penso que não basta retirar Moçambique da "zona cinzenta". É preciso criar condições para que a nossa economia possa potenciar as pequenas e médias empresas. Esta é a condição necessária de promover o emprego aos cidadãos. RFI: Entretanto, o Governo também diz que está a envidar esforços, designadamente com gabinetes exteriores, para tornar a dívida do país mais sustentável. O que é que acha deste anúncio? Lutero Simango: A dívida, para que ela seja sustentável, mais uma vez, requer que tenha uma economia vibrante. Enquanto o Estado moçambicano continuar a criar empréstimos junto dos bancos comerciais para garantir salários aos funcionários públicos, torna-se muito difícil atingir esse objectivo. Enquanto o Estado moçambicano não conseguir reembolsar o IVA aos empresários a tempo útil, torna-se muito difícil atingir esse objectivo. Portanto, mais uma vez, nós precisamos estabelecer uma estratégia que possa garantir incentivos para as pequenas e médias empresas. E temos que ter uma estratégia que possa garantir uma revisão da política fiscal que não seja uma política fiscal punitiva, mas sim, promova a entrada dos investimentos nacionais e estrangeiros. RFI: Relativamente à qualidade do diálogo entre o partido no poder e os restantes partidos, como é que estamos neste momento? Lutero Simango: Até esse momento, o diálogo está no seu curso. Está-se a realizar a auscultação pública e, acima de tudo, esse diálogo vai requerer e vai exigir a todos nós, a vontade política de assumirmos de que temos que fazer as reformas no nosso país. Esta é a condição necessária para devolver a confiança nas instituições à população moçambicana. É a condição necessária de garantir que as liberdades e a democracia sejam respeitadas. E, por isso, o grande desafio que nós temos ao longo deste diálogo nacional inclusivo, é assumirmos de que temos que fazer as reformas, quer na área constitucional, quer no pacote dos assuntos eleitorais e também no sistema judiciário. E acordarmos sobre as grandes políticas públicas na educação, saúde, na exploração dos nossos recursos e na política fiscal, em que o rumo nós queremos que o nosso país possa e deve seguir. Porque nós não podemos pensar só em nós. Temos que começar a montar as bases para que as futuras gerações possam ter um ambiente de dignidade, de felicidade e o bem-estar. RFI: Tem alguma proposta concreta em termos de reformas? Lutero Simango: Claro. O meu partido tem propostas concretas e nós sempre debatemos ao longo desses últimos anos, desde a nossa criação, de que nós precisamos ter uma Comissão da República que respeite os princípios e os valores de um Estado de Direito, que respeite os princípios da separação dos poderes, em que nós tenhamos um sistema judiciário com autonomia administrativa e financeira e que os presidentes dos tribunais sejam eleitos entre os seus pares e não na base de uma confiança política. E também nós somos pela revisão da política fiscal. E também defendemos de que é preciso despartidarizar o Estado moçambicano. Nós não podemos continuar a ter um Estado moçambicano que dependa de um partido político. Nós queremos que tenhamos um Estado moçambicano que não esteja sob o controlo de um partido político, porque a democracia é isso. A democracia que nós queremos é que haja, de facto, alternância democrática. E essa alternância democrática tem que ser via as urnas e não por uma imposição. Portanto, o desafio que nós todos temos é que as reformas sejam feitas como a condição necessária de garantir a paz efectiva, a estabilidade, para que se torne Moçambique numa sociedade dialogante, inclusiva e participativa. E pessoalmente, tenho a fé e tenho a confiança que é possível fazer. E se não o fazemos agora, vamos perder a grande oportunidade de resolver os nossos problemas. E se não fizermos as reformas agora, nas próximas eleições corremos o risco de transformar o país num caos e entrar num novo ciclo da violência. RFI: O governo disse ultimamente que iria fazer um balanço do que sucedeu, que vai fazer um relatório sobre os Direitos Humanos em Moçambique. Julga que isto, de facto, vai ser fiel aos acontecimentos? Lutero Simango: O relatório não pode ser elaborado por quem é um actor do processo. Seja qual for o relatório, para que seja um relatório independente, que dê garantia, que dê confiança, tem que ser feito por uma entidade independente, por uma entidade que não tem interesse no processo. RFI: Ainda relativamente à questão dos Direitos Humanos, fez este mês oito anos que começou a onda de violência em Cabo Delgado. Nestes últimos meses, esta situação tem vindo a piorar e inclusivamente estendeu-se também à zona de Nampula. Qual é a avaliação que se pode fazer da situação neste momento no norte de Moçambique? Lutero Simango: É uma situação difícil. É uma situação complexa. É uma situação que nos remete a uma análise profunda, objectiva e mais realística, porque a experiência da vida nos ensina que um qualquer movimento de guerrilha ou uma insurreição armada, quando consegue sobreviver a esse tempo, neste caso concreto, de oito anos, temos que nos questionar e temos que perceber que, queiramos ou não acreditar, tem um certo apoio da base local. Nenhum movimento de guerrilha sobrevive muito tempo se não tiver apoio local. Eu, muitas vezes, dou um exemplo concreto do Che Guevara quando tentou lançar a guerrilha na Bolívia, não sobreviveu porque não teve apoio local. Vamos ser honestos, quem consegue conduzir essa insurreição armada durante oito anos, sobrevive e não consegue ser eliminado, tem apoio local. Então, temos que ter a coragem de usar a nossa inteligência para perceber e compreender qual é a motivação deste conflito e quem são as pessoas que apoiam e qual é a sua retaguarda segura em termos de logística, em termos do apoio e também de treinamento. Em função disso, tomar uma decisão política que para mim, passa necessariamente em abrir uma janela de diálogo. Temos que abrir uma janela de diálogo. RFI: Mas dialogar com quem? Lutero Simango: É por isso que a nossa inteligência tem que investigar para perceber qual é a motivação, qual é a origem deste movimento e qual é a sua retaguarda de apoio. E é possível encontrar com quem se dialogar. RFI: Há também quem acredite que, paralelamente, lá está, a todo esse trabalho de inteligência, é preciso também criar condições socioeconómicas para incentivar a juventude de Cabo Delgado a não ir para as fileiras dos jihadistas. Lutero Simango: Concordo. E é por isso eu disse de que se esse movimento conseguiu sobreviver a esses oito anos, é porque teve ou continua a ter um certo apoio local. E esse apoio local resulta pela incapacidade do Estado moçambicano em satisfazer as condições básicas da população destas zonas de conflito. E por isso é que a nossa inteligência tem que ser muito hábil para responder a essas questões que eu coloquei. E em função disso, temos que abrir uma janela de diálogo e o diálogo é importante para resolver o problema. RFI: Quanto à vertente militar? Lutero Simango: Na vertente militar, nós temos que ter a coragem de reconhecer de que o nosso exército precisa de mais formação, precisa de equipamento e também voltamos à base das reformas. Temos que ter a coragem de fazer reformas nas nossas forças de defesa e segurança. Temos que ter um exército terrestre com capacidade combativa. Temos que ter uma Força Aérea e temos de ter uma força naval e para isso temos que criar condições para isso. O que significa também que é preciso encontrar recursos, não só recursos humanos, que já existem, mas também os recursos financeiros. Portanto, nós temos que discutir seriamente que tipo de exército, que tipo de forças Armadas, nós precisamos para Moçambique. E não podemos esquecer que Moçambique possui uma longa costa e que ela tem que ser protegida. RFI: Julga que há vontade política para apostar em mais meios para, de facto, tirar Cabo Delgado dessa espiral de violência? Lutero Simango: Aqui não se trata de vontade política. Trata-se de uma questão de soberania e da segurança do nosso povo. Se nós queremos ter a garantia da nossa soberania, se nós queremos garantir a segurança para a nossa população, então temos que ter as forças de segurança em altura para garantir a segurança, a estabilidade, a paz em Moçambique. RFI: Entretanto, é precisamente nesse contexto delicado que a TotalEnergies levanta a cláusula da "força maior" através da qual manteve as suas actividades suspensas desde 2021. Portanto, está prestes a retomar as suas actividades em Cabo Delgado. A seu ver, como é que se pode explicar essa escolha numa altura em que há violência em Cabo Delgado? Lutero Simango: Parece que eles têm a certeza de que a existência das tropas estrangeiras, nesse caso, as tropas ruandesas, garantem a segurança. Mas eu gostaria de olhar em relação a esse assunto de uma forma global, porque Cabo Delgado faz parte de Moçambique. Cabo Delgado é um território dentro do território moçambicano. Então, quando nós falamos da segurança e da soberania, estamos a falar do todo o território nacional, do Rovuma ao Maputo, do Zumbo ao Índico. Portanto, eu prefiro discutir o assunto no âmbito da segurança geral do país em defesa da nossa soberania. RFI: A TotalEnergies tornou pública uma carta que mandou às autoridades, condicionando o seu regresso à concessão de mais de dez anos para explorar o gás em Cabo Delgado. O que é que acha dessa iniciativa? Lutero Simango: Ela pode ser boa ou pode ser má. O dilema que nós temos relativamente a todo o processo de exploração dos nossos recursos é a ausência de transparência. Eu não conheço o contrato que foi assinado, nem sei em que termos foi assinado, em que condições foi assinado. Portanto, é importante que, quando se trata desses grandes negócios, haja transparência. É com a transparência no domínio dos contratos que todos nós estaremos em condições de dar uma opinião mais correcta. Agora, se quer ficar mais dez anos, o que implica isso? Dêem-nos o contrato para a gente ter acesso e para podermos falar. RFI: ONGs consideram que a TotalEnergies está praticamente a fazer Moçambique refém das suas vontades. Lutero Simango: Isso só pode acontecer se não houver transparência. E por isso, eu estou a falar aqui de que nós temos que conhecer os contratos. Temos que conhecer o conteúdo, os termos de referência, para podermos estar à altura, para dar uma opinião mais justa. E também há outro elemento que é sabido e que o MDM sempre defendeu em particular. Quando eu fui candidato às presidenciais, defendi com muita garra que é preciso renegociar os contratos. Entretanto, se quiserem ficar mais dez anos, então vamos renegociar o contrato e estabelecer os novos termos, as novas modalidades. RFI: Pensa que as autoridades neste momento instaladas em Maputo, terão mais abertura, mais condições para efectivamente tornar públicas ou, pelo menos, divulgar aos deputados aquilo que foi acordado com a TotalEnergies? Lutero Simango: Têm a obrigação. Porque se não divulgarem, se não tornarem o contrato do domínio público, ninguém vai acreditar no posicionamento do governo. Portanto, a melhor forma de resolver esse problema é tornar o contrato público, é garantir a transparência e também poderá ser o grande instrumento de combate à corrupção. RFI: De forma mais global, e para concluirmos esta entrevista, como é que olha para a actualidade do seu país neste momento? Lutero Simango: Nós todos temos que trabalhar no sentido de renovar a esperança. Nós temos que renovar a esperança nos moçambicanos e por isso estamos engajados neste processo de diálogo nacional inclusivo e queremos que todos tenham a vontade política de resolver os nossos problemas. E os moçambicanos devem participar de uma forma activa e devemos evitar diabolizar o processo. Se diabolizarmos o processo, estaremos a cometer o mesmo erro que foi cometido em 1974 e 1975 quando Moçambique estava num processo para alcançar a sua independência nacional. É por isso que esse processo tem que ser inclusivo, tem que ser participativo e ninguém deve ficar fora. E ninguém deve diabolizar o outro, para permitir que todos os moçambicanos participem de uma forma efectiva, para que as reformas possam ocorrer. E nesse processo, não pode haver os mais importantes, os menos importantes. Todos temos responsabilidades, todos temos o dever e o direito de contribuir para que Moçambique possa atingir as reformas que se pretendem, pôr Moçambique nos carris do desenvolvimento, da paz, da estabilidade e da segurança para todos.
At the Crexendo UGM, Dave Michels, Principal Analyst & Founder of TalkingPointz, sat down with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to unpack “UCaaS Mobility 3” — a pragmatic, mobile-first model that moves enterprise calling from over-the-top apps to the cellular layer itself. Michels framed three generations of UCaaS mobility. Mobility 1 (find-me/follow-me) forwarded calls but split voicemail and caller ID. Mobility 2 (OTT softphone apps) worked well on strong internet — but faltered in truly mobile conditions (highway handoffs, variable coverage), pushing users back to personal cell numbers. Mobility 3 fixes this by placing the enterprise line on the SIM/eSIM: users choose business or personal at dial time, and enterprise calls ride native cellular voice for reliability, with full logging, recording, and policy control. The result: intuitive smartphone use (native dialer/contacts), optional UCaaS app, and clean work/personal separation without MDM intrusiveness. Michels highlighted why this matters now: Reliability on the move: Native cellular voice eliminates OTT fragility in transit. Compliance & CX: Enterprise calls and texts are captured and governed (finance, healthcare, education), and contact centers can transfer to subject-matter experts without losing recording/analytics. Frontline & deskless workers: Mobility-first roles (e.g., field services) can finally get enterprise-grade mobile that “just works.” Simplicity for IT & MSPs: One number can move across hard phone, soft client, and smartphone; less training and fewer behavior changes. Carrier convergence: With MVNO models (e.g., Crexendo's newly announced Xtend approach), service providers can bundle meetings, UCaaS, messaging, calling, and cellular — even globally — under a single brand and bill. Looking forward, Michels envisions “no more softphones” for many roles: users keep one phone, one dialer, two identities (business/personal), and enterprises preserve governance and data for AI-assisted analytics. For MSPs and resellers at UGM, the message was clear: Mobility 3 is a near-term, standard approach that elevates UCaaS into true mobile telephony, expands deal size and stickiness, and opens regulated and frontline segments.

Send us a textThe “holiday season” is filled with traditions at every turn. While they anchor us and provide familiarity and predictability, they can also be the source of stress and trigger deep sadness and grief. However, because they create a sense of belonging, gradually introducing new activities can maintain the togetherness and provide needed support for healing. Joy and sadness coexist during the holidays while grieving a loss. The answer to this paradox could be in creating new traditions. It requires great creativity and innovation. Our Founder, Dr. Mary Ellen Collins, gives us an example of both while sharing a personal dilemma for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Send us a textThe “holiday season” is characterized by family gatherings, festive decorations, gift-giving and feasts that include a large variety and amount of food. Minds and hearts are void of negativity and replaced by the spirit of kindness, generosity and good will. Great efforts are put forth and money spent to modify schedules, arrange travel and buy gifts. But there is an entirely different scenario for a large population of people that the media does not acknowledge.

Patrocinado por Fleet:Fleet simplifica la gestión IT con equipos bajo suscripción, MDM, soporte global y renovación fácil. Ya confían +2000 empresas.https://get.fleet.co/es/itnig-x-fleetEn este episodio charlamos con Pablo Palafox, fundador de Happy Robot, la “AI workforce” que está automatizando el trabajo repetitivo en la economía real: logística, transporte, energía y más. Pasamos del titular “sois el call center de la IA” a entender por qué su primer nicho (freight brokers) ya les da para construir un negocio grande y cómo sus agentes conversacionales por teléfono, email y SMS, negocian mejor que humanos, hacen customer quoting, check calls, payment collections y recruiting, integrándose con los sistemas del cliente y orquestando operaciones a escala.Pablo cuenta el viaje: pivot desde computer vision, entrada en Y Combinator, lanzamiento del primer cliente en 2024, y crecimiento acelerado que culmina en serie A con a16z y una ronda posterior significativa. Entramos al detalle técnico de su plataforma: workflow builder low-code para conectar herramientas y procesos, orquestador propio de voz (STT/LLM/TTS), detección de fin de turno de habla, reducción de latencia, guardrails y auditoría de calidad.También hablamos de anécdotas como dos bots negociando entre sí, 100.000 llamadas/día en picos, y de márgenes negociados del 20–22% en algunos casos. Más allá de la tecnología, desgranamos el go-to-market enterprise: el rol de los Forward Deployed Engineers (mezcla de producto, ventas y éxito de cliente), cómo enfocan pricing por uso vs. por resultados (minutos, emails, por llamada o outcome-based), por qué han empezado muy verticalizados en logística, y cómo están expandiendo a energía y navieras (mencionan clientes globales) sin perder foco. Tocamos el marco legal y ético (divulgación de IA en Europa vs. EE. UU.), el impacto en empleo (“¿qué pasa con el humano desplazado?”) y por qué San Francisco sigue siendo el mejor sitio para vender y financiar producto deep-tech, mientras abren presencia en Europa para captar talento.

Join co-hosts Kat Garbis & Josh Thornton with Jamf guests, Iulia Arghir (Senior Product Manager) and Alexander Dove (Senior Sales Engineer) as they introduce and unpack the exciting details of a new feature, Network Relay. Network Relay provides a modern VPN framework, built into the OS and deployable via MDM. Rather than replacing an existing VPN all together, Network Relay can work alongside it, securing admin specified destinations, helping modernize and better secure an existing infrastructure. Network Relay preserves the native Apple device experience that users expect. Some benefits are the support for app-specific, policy-driven tunneling, authenticated based on the hardware-attested device identity, ideal for Zero Trust as well as secure remote connectivity available out of the box.

Join host, Kat Garbis, with special guest, Matt Jerome (Sr. Engineer Desktops, Fanatics) to discuss a common scenario in the Mac Admin world: inheriting a Jamf instance. You didn't build the instance — someone else did. Perhaps they built it but not quite in the way you would have done it. Maybe the instance came through an acquisition, someone left the organization, regardless, this happens and is usually met with some questions and requires a strategy to navigate. Matt Jerome has plenty of experience in this and created a process of how to navigate inheriting an instance. Matt shares steps he has found to be repeatable and guidance on how to make this as easy as possible.

What if the chaos in your business isn't because you need more help—but because your systems are broken? In this episode, I sit down with Ernesto Mandowsky, systems expert, hospitality wizard, and the no-BS founder of MDM (Million Dollar Machine), to break down the biggest operational blind spots that are costing founders time, energy, and serious cash flow. From throwing a party at 18 to building systems for million-dollar brands and bootstrapped visionaries alike, Ernesto shares the truth most entrepreneurs don't want to hear: your browser tabs, your sticky notes, and your “hiring a VA to fix everything” strategy? That's not it. If you're overwhelmed, overextended, or over it—this is your wake-up call. Ernesto blends hospitality flair with engineering precision, creating five-star experiences for founders ready to run their business like a machine. He walks us through his 5 Recipes – his signature framework that helps you organize chaos into profit-driving clarity. Whether you're a 7-figure CEO or building toward your first big leap—this is a systems masterclass you don't want to miss. Tune in now and start building the company your vision deserves.

When last in Bordeaux, I spent some time with Veronique Sanders-Van Beek, the Director of Chateau Haut Bailly. And as a result, she offered an internship to one of my favorite interns who graced the Wine of the Month Club. The young girl arrives shortly in Bordeaux to start her journey. I learned from Mdm. Veronique that her husband, Alexander Van Beek, is the Director of Chateau Giscours, a third growth of the famed 1855 Classification. When I heard that Pauline was in town to share the wines...I took the call immediately. Pauline Wlodarzyck might just be the only person who can make stopping time—if only for a minute—as easy as popping open a bottle of Bordeaux. In this episode of Wine Talks, you'll discover how Pauline, export manager of the storied Château Giscours in Margaux, sees wine as a passport for both the palate and the mind—a way to travel to Bordeaux, Italy, or even back to your grandmother's kitchen table. You'll get an insider's guide to the new frontiers of wine, exploring what it means to savor an emotional moment, whether you're uncorking a celebration-worthy champagne or a third-growth vintage with 450 years of roots in its soil. Pauline and host Paul Kalemkiarian delve deep into the challenge of sharing wine's magic in a distracted, technology-driven world, and debate if there's such a thing as a bad vintage at all. Listeners are treated to tales of precision in the vineyard, from “sequential harvests” to the surprising role sheep and family play in sustainable winemaking. They examine how modern innovation in Bordeaux isn't just about new gadgets but about understanding the very DNA of the land and respecting biodiversity—a far cry from the bag-in-box revolution. Whether you're a seasoned sommelier or just a curious drinker, you'll hear firsthand how the philosophy behind every bottle—from grape to glass—shapes not just the wine, but the moment you share it. Pour a glass for this one: you'll come away not just knowing how to taste, but how to remember, connect, and celebrate wine as both a witness to history and a companion in life. ✅ Ever wondered how opening a bottle of wine can transport you across the world—and back in time? ✅ Pauline Wlodarzyck joins host Paul Kalemkiarian on “Wine Talks” to reveal how every sip is a journey of emotion, history, and unforgettable flavor. ✅ From the vineyards of Bordeaux to the heart of Southern California, explore how wine is more than just a drink—it's a story waiting to be told, shaped by tradition, terroir, and a touch of innovation. ✅ Tune in now and discover why your next glass can spark memories, connect you to the land, and introduce you to new adventures in taste. Cheers to meaningful moments!

As organizations embrace hybrid work, SaaS sprawl, and employee-owned devices, traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) tools are failing to keep up. The rise of shadow IT, unmanaged applications, and evolving cyber threats have created an "Access-Trust Gap", a critical security challenge where IT lacks visibility and control over how employees access sensitive business data. In this episode of Security Weekly, Jeff Shiner, CEO of 1Password, joins us to discuss the future of access management and how organizations must move beyond traditional IAM and MDM solutions. He'll explore the need for Extended Access Management, a modern approach that ensures every identity is authentic, every device is healthy, and every application sign-in is secure, including the unmanaged ones. Tune in to learn how security teams can bridge the Access-Trust Gap while empowering employees with frictionless security.
