Ever wondered how credit card companies actually make money and why your rewards never seem to add up? Anil Goteti, Founder of Scapia, reveals the hidden business of cards: from interchange fees and breakage profits to why banks spend ₹3,500 acquiring each customer and still wait three years to break even. The business of cards in India is a multi-billion dollar industry built on economics most consumers never see. Anil Goteti spent eight years at Flipkart mastering consumer behavior before diving into this opaque world with Scapia, a travel-focused credit card that's raised $72 million to challenge how the card business operates. In this masterclass conversation with host Akshay Datt, Anil deconstructs the entire value chain: how merchant discount rates get split between issuing banks, acquiring banks, and payment networks like Visa and Mastercard, why co-branded card partnerships exist, and how rewards programs are designed so 50% of points expire unused, a profit center called breakage. He exposes why traditional banks charge forex markups of 3-5% on international spending, how customer acquisition costs in the card business have ballooned to ₹3,000-3,500 per customer, and why it takes six to nine years of card usage before banks see real profit. Anil also shares Scapia's contrarian approach: zero fees, zero forex markup, instant transaction visibility, and making reward redemption so easy it threatens the breakage model competitors rely on. Beyond card economics, this episode explores how Scapia survived when RBI banned their banking partner from issuing new cards, why the business of cards in India is still massively underpenetrated compared to Western markets, and how the convergence of fintech and travel creates dual revenue streams that make their aggressive customer economics sustainable at scale.

Kybernetická bezpečnosť už dávno nie je len o antivíruse a heslách. Hoci sa firmy na Slovensku v základnej hygiene zlepšili, mnohé stále podceňujú sofistikovanejšie hrozby. Často investujú do pokročilých technológií, no nemajú kvalifikovaných ľudí, ktorí by ich vedeli správne vyhodnocovať a manažovať. Prečo je dôležité oddeliť IT od bezpečnosti a aké sú možnosti pre firmy, ktoré si vlastný bezpečnostný tím nemôžu dovoliť?V novom dieli podcastu SHARE sa moderátor Maroš Žofčin rozpráva s Júliusom Seleckým, Solution Architectom spoločnosti Eset, o reálnom stave kybernetickej bezpečnosti v slovenských firmách, o najčastejších chybách a o riešeniach, ako je manažovaná detekcia a reakcia (MDR).

Positive childhood experiences (PCEs) are foundational to a child's healthy development and well-being. Listen as Dr. Elizabeth Hisle-Gorman and Dr. Binny Chokshi discuss promoting PCEs and how the Healthy Outcomes From Positive Experiences (HOPE) model supports strengthening families. This podcast is made possible by generous funding from the Team Seymour Spouses' Club. To learn more, visit https://www.teamseymourspouses.com/. Audio mixing by Concentus Media, Inc., Temple, Texas.

She began her career as a social worker working in neighborhood development efforts in Washington, DC to support and strengthen families to prevent family violence and overcome hardship. However, a move to a military town with her active-duty military spouse, re-focused her on work with military families. She served as a Child Protective Services officer in Onslow County, North Carolina and worked extensively with military families. After completing her Ph.D. in Social Work at the University of Maryland, Dr. Hisle-Gorman taught and worked in community development and was the senior author on one of the first articles to document the clinical effects of military deployment on children. She subsequently moved to USUHS to expand its research portfolio exploring the effects of military life on children. Her research interests are focused the impact of past military deployment on military children, effects of parental injury and family violence on pediatric health and mental health, and healthcare usage trends in military pediatrics. However, she has also worked on projects examining autism in children, indicators of immunization completion, neonatal health, care for transgender individuals, healthcare disparities, and the effects of medications on children. Dr. Hisle-Gorman has significant experience working with the Military Health System Data Repository and conducting retrospective research studies about military-connected children using the MDR. Dr. Hisle-Gorman most enjoys mentoring medical students, residents, and junior faculty on research projects, and teaching them the research process on an individual basis. Dr. Binny Chokshi is a general pediatrician, with a focus on adolescents and young adults. Dr. Chokshi's research and education interests are focused on understanding the impact of early life stressors on health across the life course. To mitigate the effects of trauma and stress on children, Dr. Chokshi advocates for a trauma-informed approach to healthcare. She has developed web-based e-modules to train outpatient pediatricians in responding to childhood adversity with a trauma-informed care approach and has also trained medical students and residents at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. In a prior role at Children's National Hospital, she also worked with hospital leadership to develop hospital wide trauma-informed practices. In her current role at USUHS, Dr. Chokshi examines how military specific factors may impact child and and family health, with a current focus on how social determinants of health such as food security impact military child health. Dr. Chokshi is also passionate on promoting positive childhood experiences, to foster healthy development in children and counter the impacts of stressful experiences. Dr. Chokshi has a vested interest in medical education and completed Masters in Education at the George Washington University School of Education and Human Development. On a national level, Dr. Chokshi serves on the Expert Leadership Team for the American Academy of Pediatrics project “Building Capacity for Trauma-Informed Pediatric Care”.

Neurodiverse Mediation focuses on resolving conflicts involving neurodivergent individuals, such as those who are autistic, or have ADHD, PTSD or a combination. It addresses challenges like communication differences, emotional dysregulation, and sensory needs, particularly in divorce, parenting, and estate disputes. Specialized mediators help create customized solutions and ensure fairness while managing the unique difficulties neurodivergent people face under stress. An additional part of understanding neurodivergence vulnerabilities includes a closer look at hormonal changes related to premenstrual syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoria Disorder (PMDD), and menopause. These changes may have a significant impact on emotional regulation, medication efficacy, and relationship dynamics. By understanding these factors, mediators can foster more compassionate and effective conflict resolution. Nicole would describe herself as a neurodivergent specialist. She has personal and family experience with autism, ADHD, PTSD and PMDD. Her education and training includes a focus on ASD and ADHD assessments, marriage and family therapy, family law, and conflict resolution among neurodivergent individuals, couples and families. Personally, she was diagnosed with ASD and ADHD late in life. It was thanks to her children that she obtained the correct diagnosis. Nicole is divorced after a 13-year neurodiverse relationship and was initially drawn into this area to do her part to spread awareness, help identify other untreated or undiagnosed autistics, and help families and couples separate with a long-term plan of success. Nicole had a very messy divorce and if she had the right information, everyone would have suffered so much less. She is so grateful when families opt to mediate divorce when there are children involved. You can contact Nicole at the link below:NICOLE KNOWLTON | Neurodiverse Couples

Send us a textYou can harden your network and still miss the front door: aging edge devices with elevated access, thin logging, and long‑ignored firmware. We dig into the uncomfortable truth behind “set it and forget it” firewalls, VPNs, and gateways, then lay out a practical Domain 7 playbook that helps you detect faster, respond cleaner, and recover without chaos.We start with the incident management sequence that actually works under pressure—detection, response, mitigation, reporting, recovery, remediation, and lessons learned—showing how legal timelines, stakeholder updates, and RTO/RPO planning fit together. From there, we map the controls that pull their weight: next‑gen firewalls and WAFs, IDS/IPS, smart whitelisting and blacklisting, sandboxing that anticipates time‑bomb malware, and when to lean on EDR, MDR, and UEBA to cut through alert fatigue.Then we get hands‑on with vulnerability and patch management, focusing on asset inventory, critical‑first prioritization, scanning automation, and staged deployments with real rollback plans. We connect the dots to change management so fixes don't become outages. Resilience gets its due: backup integrity and rotation, hot/warm/cold recovery sites, multi‑region processing, HA pairs, QoS to preserve critical traffic, and fault‑tolerant design that keeps services running when parts fail.Finally, we round out security operations with disaster recovery drills—from tabletop to full cutover—plus business continuity planning that aligns cyber recovery with revenue‑critical processes. Physical security and personal safety close the loop: layered access, surveillance, environmental controls, and travel and duress protocols that protect your people as well as your data. If you're preparing for the CISSP or sharpening a real program, you'll leave with concrete steps to reduce risk now and a roadmap to mature over time.Enjoyed this deep dive?

Folge 289: Eine seiner weitesten Reisen unternimmt Bach im Winter 1705/06, als er von Arnstadt zu seinem Idol Dietrich Buxtehude nach Lübeck aufbricht. Dafür riskiert er gern daheim eine Rüge wegen Urlaubsübertretung.
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are significantly increasing their spending on cybersecurity solutions, with managed detection and response (MDR) and network detection and response (NDR) expected to grow by 107% and 118%, respectively. However, despite this financial commitment, a recent study reveals that 83% of SMBs do not conduct formal security awareness training, and nearly half lack established incident response protocols. This operational gap is concerning, as the average financial loss from a security incident for these businesses is estimated at $1.6 million. The study emphasizes that technology alone cannot address the underlying issues of process and expertise that leave many businesses vulnerable.Microsoft's sixth annual digital defense report highlights a troubling trend where over half of cyberattacks are now financially motivated, with ransomware and extortion being primary drivers. Critical public services, such as hospitals and local governments, are particularly at risk due to limited cybersecurity budgets and inadequate incident response capabilities. Nation-state actors are also evolving their tactics, with countries like China and North Korea increasing their cyber espionage efforts. Microsoft stresses the importance of organizations staying informed about threats and collaborating with industry peers to enhance their defenses.For managed service providers (MSPs), this situation presents a unique opportunity. Clients are investing in cybersecurity tools but require assistance in operationalizing these tools into effective security measures. MSPs can help by building processes, training personnel, and conducting tabletop exercises to ensure that businesses are not just purchasing products but are genuinely prepared for potential threats. The podcast emphasizes that cybersecurity is not merely about acquiring tools; it is fundamentally about preparedness and having a well-executed plan tailored to the business's needs.Additionally, the episode discusses recent product updates from various vendors, including Nerdio, SureWeb, and Veeam, which are introducing new AI tools and partner updates to enhance MSP operations. The importance of human capital in maintaining complex systems is also highlighted, particularly in light of Amazon's recent AWS outage, which was exacerbated by significant layoffs leading to a loss of institutional knowledge. The podcast concludes with a call for MSPs to audit their technology stacks and focus on the impact of workflows rather than just features, ensuring that they are prepared for any chaos that may arise.

OxygenCare is delighted to announce the introduction of the Medanets integrated Point of Care Nursing app to its ever-expanding Digital Healthcare solutions portfolio. The collaboration brings together two companies with a shared vision for improving patient care through innovative digital healthcare solutions. Stephen Nicholson, Digital Health Manager, OxygenCare, explains: "Medanets simplifies nursing routines, supports decision making, complements and integrates with EHR systems, and releases time to care for patients.'The CE and MDR certified app was developed in collaboration with healthcare professionals. "OxygenCare is a multi-award-winning, family-owned business with over 50 years supporting healthcare throughout the island of Ireland. "Their dedicated digital health team and prior experience in delivering complex ICU and anaesthesia systems make them an ideal partner for us," says Medanets CEO Juha-Matti Ranta. "On top of that, their deep market knowledge and the impression made by their team further solidified our confidence in this partnership. It seems we are a natural fit in both values and working style." For over 30 years, OxygenCare has been transforming digital healthcare through clinical systems and working with innovative products and solutions throughout Ireland. The Medanets integrated nursing app supports point-of-care documentation and immediate access to key patient data, making it a natural fit with OxygenCare's digital portfolio. Combining OxygenCare's connectivity solutions with Medanets' mobile solutions can provide significant added value both to organisations already using an electronic health record (EHR) and to hospitals beginning their digital journey. "We can offer healthcare providers a fast-track way to modernise operations, even in settings where an EHR is not yet in place. For instance, Medanets supports "lightweight IT" approaches such as sending PDFs directly to a document archive - a direct impactful step forward in digital empowerment," Ranta explains. Maurice Moran, Managing Director of OxygenCare, adds: "This Medanets offering complements our portfolio, and we see strong market potential. Together, we are currently conducting exploratory efforts in the market to identify opportunities and tailor our approach to local needs. Through this new partnership, all care phases can be managed digitally through a single provider. This partnership marks a promising step toward improving healthcare outcomes in Ireland and underscores the strength of collaboration in driving innovation forward." See more stories here.

In the third installment of this Shoptalk series, host David Carothers and guest Zane Goldthorp of ProWriters shift the focus to proactive risk management for cyber insurance. They make the case that even in a soft market, a responsible business owner's focus should be on security, not just on meeting minimum carrier requirements. The conversation covers the essential security controls every business should have, including MFA, MDR, and employee training. They also dive into a real-world claim scenario that highlights a critical coverage gray area—the "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) issue—and discuss the potential conflicts between carrier-provided security services and an agent's referral relationships with Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Key Highlights: Essential Risk Management Controls Zane Goldthorp outlines the foundational security measures agents should be discussing with their clients. While carriers may have relaxed some requirements, essentials like MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication), regular backups, and email security are non-negotiable. He also notes the industry's shift from EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) to the more proactive MDR (Managed Detection and Response). The Human Element: Employee Training The conversation stresses that one of the most effective and overlooked risk management tools is consistent employee training. With phishing and business email compromise being the source of most breaches, training employees to spot increasingly sophisticated attacks can be the make-or-break difference in preventing a major claim. A Critical Coverage Lesson: The BYOD Problem David shares a story from a real claim that exposed a major potential coverage gap: whether a breach is covered if it originates on a personal device not owned by the company. This "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) issue highlights the critical importance of understanding policy nuances and working with an expert wholesaler who knows the forms inside and out. Navigating Carrier Services and MSP Relationships Many cyber carriers now offer security services as part of their policies. While valuable, David cautions agents to be mindful of their referral relationships with MSPs (Managed Service Providers). An MSP may view these carrier offerings as direct competition, potentially damaging a crucial referral source. The key is clear communication to ensure all parties are aligned.
