Speed is winning deals, but speed is also feeding fraud. We sit down with CRC Specialty Professional Lines Broker Mark Waldeck to unpack the messy middle where e‑signatures, legacy policy language, and decentralized bank controls collide. From the difference between a simple e‑signature and a cryptographically protected digital signature to why underwriters hesitate when controls vary by department, we map the risk pathways that turn convenience into claims friction.We examine a headline‑grabbing fraud where a bank funded a multimillion‑dollar loan to an impersonator despite notary involvement and remote verification. The dispute with the insurer highlights a wider issue: policy forms born in the era of signature cards are being stretched to cover today's remote closings, and the gaps show up at the worst time. If you work with financial institutions, you'll get a practical checklist to help ensure your banking clients are protected, from enforcing MFA and encryption to tightening scrutiny as transaction size grows. Tune in to understand how small cracks in verification can become multimillion-dollar failures—and what you can do right now to help clients stay ahead of emerging fraud risks.

Dr. Catherine Allan, Director of the Cardiac Care Unit and Inpatient Cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic joins us to talk about readiness for teams to perform pediatric ECMO, a high-risk, high-complexity therapy that staff might only see a third as often as they see patients on ventilators. ECMO can also be called for during CPR, which greatly increases the time pressure and complexity of the procedure. During ECPR, there is not only the ICU resuscitation microteam but also the surgical team and the perfusion team, leading to potentially having up to 20 people working in the room when running an ECPR case. We discuss how leaders can help connect seemingly imposed efforts like checklists and huddles to what it is that frontline workers are trying to achieve and are meaningful to them, and how simulation program designers must do the same in order to make sure that training is not a top-down checklist but rather a mutually owned process that gets teams where they believe they need to go.

Every day, we're flooded with information–headlines, opinions, advice, noise. And beneath that deluge of input, we carry stories that tell us how we stay safe and what asking questions will cost us.Certainty too often feels like safety. So we rush to respond before we understand and defend before we discern. We don't pause to reflect or to question the loudest voices in the room–proverbial or otherwise.But certainty at the expense of discernment can damage our connections to each other and to ourselves. Leadership that builds connection and trust for the long term requires us to cultivate the courage to ask questions and follow the answers, even when it's uncomfortable. When we catch an old story running the show and stay curious instead of certain, we can metabolize what's driving reactivity and protection. It's how we stay open, grounded, and self-led in a world that rewards reactivity.My guest in this conversation refers to this practice as faithful skepticism: asking hard questions without abandoning hope. When I read his moving essay, “Groomed by the Church: How The Clash Saved My Soul,” I knew I had to invite him here to discuss the importance of refining our discernment and cultivating skepticism as a vital tool for effective leadership. And how music serves as a powerful trailhead–both as a cultural lightning rod and as a catalyst for self-discovery. David Adey is a multimedia artist based in San Diego, CA. His work has been exhibited at The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, Orange County Museum of Art, Crystal Bridges Museum, Minneapolis Institute of Art, Frist Center for The Visual Arts, Oceanside Museum of Art, Cranbrook Art Museum, and venues nationally and internationally.

Growing up at the feet of the Himalayas in northern India, Kumar took for granted her immersion in a lush natural world. After moving to North America as a teenager, she found herself increasingly distanced from more than human life and discouraged by the civilization she saw contributing to its destruction. It was only in her twenties, living in Los Angeles and working on films, that she began to rediscover her place in the landscape—and in the cosmos—by way of watching birds. Tracing her movements across the American West, this stirring collection of essays Conversations with Birds (Milkweed Editions, 2023) brings the avian world richly to life. Kumar's perspective is not that of a list keeper, counting and cataloguing species. Rather, from the mango-colored western tanager that rescues her from a bout of altitude sickness in Sequoia National Park to ancient sandhill cranes in the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, and from the snowy plovers building shallow nests with bits of shell and grass to the white-breasted nuthatch that regularly visits the apricot tree behind her family's casita in Santa Fe, for Kumar, birds “become a portal to a more vivid, enchanted world.” At a time when climate change, habitat loss, and the reckless use of pesticides are causing widespread extinction of species, Kumar's reflections on these messengers from our distant past and harbingers of our future offer luminous evidence of her suggestion that “seeds of transformation lie dormant in all of our hearts. Sometimes it just takes the right bird to awaken us.” Our guest is: Priyanka Kumar, who is a nationally-acclaimed naturalist and award-winning writer. She is the author of Conversations with Birds, The Light Between Apple Trees: Rediscovering the Wild Through a Beloved American Fruit, and her essays have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Review of Books, Orion, and Sierra magazine. She holds an MFA from the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts and is an alumna of the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is an experienced writing coach and developmental editor for academics. She is the producer and show host of the Academic Life podcast.

photo by Colin Outridge. The exhibition Change of Scenery,  marks the painter's third solo show with the gallery. It is the culmination of a year's worth of travel across the U.S., as Brennan Hinton spent extended time in residency in Corsicana, TX, Martha's Vineyard, MA, and Fishers Island, NY. Brennan Hinton's practice focuses on the sustained act of observation, the plein-air discipline, and painting's ability to capture the essence of a place. The time spent in three distinctive towns, each in its own ways divergent from Brennan Hinton's familiar Ontario, required the artist to meet each place with open eyes and a fresh palette. To situate himself, Brennan Hinton leaned on two formative texts, Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry and Moby Dick by Herman Melville, which are each set in the same landscapes in which he painted. Keiran Brennan Hinton (b. 1992, Toronto) lives and works in Toronto and Elgin, Ontario. He received his BFA from Pratt Institute in 2014 and his MFA from Yale University in 2016. His work is held in the permanent collections of the Ogunquit Museum of Art, Ogunquit, ME and The Dennos Museum Center, Traverse City, MI. Past international solo shows of Brennan Hinton's work include exhibitions at MAKI Gallery, Tokyo, Japan (2022); Thomas Fuchs Gallery, Stuttgart, Germany (2021); Charles Moffett, New York, NY (2023, 2021); Nicholas Robert Gallery, Ontario (2022); and Francesco Pantaleone Gallery, Palermo, Italy (2019) among others. His paintings have been featured in institutional exhibitions at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Ontario; James Castle House, Boise, Idaho; and Katonah Museum of Art, Westchester, NY.

Send us a textOkay, dude… if you've ever had a doctor shrug and basically say, “Yeah, you're in perimenopause, good luck with that,” this episode is going to hit hard. My guest today, Amanda McIntosh, got that exact speech right at the moment when she was gaining weight, feeling constantly hungry, and low-key convinced her body was broken.Her social feeds were screaming hormones. Her doctor was like, get used to it. And Amanda? She honestly didn't feel like doing any of the things she was being told to do. Chocolate and chips were putting up a very convincing argument.But instead of spiraling into despair, Amanda did something kind of brilliant-slash-petty-slash-genius. She decided to follow a healthy living program perfectly just so she could go back to her doctor and say, “See? I did your boring advice and it does not work. Now fix me.”Except… plot twist… it did work.In this conversation, Amanda shares how she went from that perimenopause panic to feeling strong, capable, and dare I say joyful again. From eating vegetables like a goddamn champion to doing push-ups in sets of thirty and lifting her carry-on overhead without asking some random guy for help.We get into habit loops, chocolate negotiations, why “making it fun” felt like an insult at first and the surprisingly boring thing that changed everything. Spoiler: it is not hormones. It is vegetables.If you have ever felt like your body changed overnight and your willpower packed its bags and left, Amanda's story is going to give you hope, relief and maybe a little kick in the butt.What's Inside:How panic around perimenopause and the “it's your hormones” message kept Amanda stuck and what actually moved her forwardThe shockingly boring secret behind her massive transformationHow the MFA helped her ditch all-or-nothing thinking and build habits that actually stickWhy fun matters more than willpower and how she made healthy living feel doable instead of dreadfulIf you are nodding along to this and thinking, “Oh crap, this is me,” then dude, I want to hear about it. What is your version of feeling broken and what would it look like to feel powerful again? Not in some magical hormone hack way but in the real-life, choosing-yourself kind of way. Send me a DM on Instagram and tell me where you feel stuck and what you wish felt easier in your life right now. I love hearing your stories and cheering you on.Mentioned in This Episode:Join the Healthy AF Challenge!Oonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. In this Episode, Emily interviews artist Jamil Hellu. Jamil shares his multicultural background—Brazilian, Syrian, Paraguayan, American, and queer—and discusses how these identities inform his work. The conversation explores his journey from Brazil to the U.S., his evolution as an artist, and his teaching at Stanford.Jamil talks about his latest exhibition, "In the Studio," at Rebecca Camacho Presents in San Francisco, which delves into identity, transformation, and the use of vibrant color and materials in self-portraiture. He reflects on his creative process, the influence of queer culture, and the importance of community in the Bay Area.The episode also features Jamil's thoughts on representation, the impact of artists like Claude Cahun, and the significance of residencies in his artistic development. Tune in for an inspiring discussion about art, identity, and the power of self-expression.About Artist Jamil Hellu:Jamil Hellu is a visual artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area, who creates personal and politically charged projects to expand the discourse on identity representation. Through an interdisciplinary studio practice rooted in photography, his work is a dynamic exploration of queerness, community, and cultural heritage.Born in Brazil and of Middle Eastern descent, Hellu's diverse ethnic background informs his practice and research, offering a critical lens through which to examine issues of race, discrimination, and belonging. In today's political climate, where LGBTQ+ rights, immigration, and racial justice remain central to social struggles, Hellu's projects invite viewers to consider the ways we construct, perceive, and validate identities.Through a vibrant visual vocabulary, he repeatedly engages in self-portraiture, activating conversations around visibility, cultural lineage, and the evolving nature of self-representation. His work contributes to ongoing discussions about who gets to be seen and who doesn't and the power of visual storytelling as a form of resistance.Hellu earned his MFA in Art Practice from Stanford University and has exhibited widely. His work has been discussed in publications such as The New York Times, The Guardian, Artforum, and VICE. His projects have been supported by grants and residencies such as the Fleishhacker Foundation, the San Francisco Arts Commission, and the Headlands Center for the Arts. An active participant in the San Francisco Bay Area arts community, Hellu serves as an Advisory Board member for Recology's Artist-in-Residence Program and represents local artists in the Board of Directors of SF Camerawork. He is a Photography Lecturer in the Department of Art & Art History at Stanford University.  Visit Jamil's Website:  JamilHellu.netFollow Jamil on Instagram:  @Jamil.HelluFor more about Jamil's exhibit "In The Studio" at Rebecca Camacho Presents CLICK HERE. --About Podcast Host Emily Wilson:Emily a writer in San Francisco, with work in outlets including Hyperallergic, Artforum, 48 Hills, the Daily Beast, California Magazine, Latino USA, and Women's Media Center.

professorjrod@gmail.comOne idea rewired computing: what if one machine could convincingly pretend to be many? We start with mainframes and time sharing, then move through hypervisors, virtual machines, and the moment virtualization became the backbone of the cloud. From there, the story accelerates into public, private, hybrid, and community cloud models, and the service stack that defines modern IT—Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Software as a Service—so you know exactly who manages what and why it matters.We break down how to build reliable VMs, choose the right network mode, and use snapshots, templates, and live migration to save time and prevent outages. Then we climb the stack to cloud storage options like object, block, and file; explore VDI with thin and zero clients for secure, centralized desktops; and map the virtual network layer with routers, firewalls, load balancers, and VPN gateways. Security threads through everything: shared responsibility, IAM, MFA, encryption, and redundancy. You'll learn practical troubleshooting for slow VMs, networking quirks, sync failures, and common cloud gotchas like quota limits and VPN interference.Containers and Kubernetes bring speed and resilience, turning monoliths into microservices that scale on demand. We close on the frontier—edge and fog computing reduce latency at the source, while serverless lets code run only when needed. By the end, you'll see how virtualization delivered flexibility, the cloud delivered scale, containers delivered agility, and serverless delivered automation. Subscribe, share with a teammate, and leave a quick review to help more tech learners tap into the roots and future of cloud computing.Support the showArt By Sarah/DesmondMusic by Joakim KarudLittle chacha ProductionsJuan Rodriguez can be reached atTikTok @ProfessorJrodProfessorJRod@gmail.com@Prof_JRodInstagram ProfessorJRod

In this special episode of Threat Vector, host David Moulton, Senior Director of Thought Leadership for Unit 42, sits down with Stav Setty, Principal Researcher at Palo Alto Networks, to unpack Jingle Thief a cloud-only, identity-driven campaign that turned Microsoft 365 into a gift card printing press. Stav explains how the Morocco based group known as Atlas Lion lived off the land inside M365 for months at a time, using tailored phishing and smishing pages, URL tricks, and internal phishing to compromise one user and quietly pivot to dozens more. Together, David and Stav walk through how the attackers abused legitimate identity features like device registration, MFA resets, inbox forwarding rules, and ServiceNow style access requests to blend into normal business workflows and monetize “digital cash” in the form of gift cards. They dig into why MFA alone is not safety, why identity is now the real perimeter, and how behavioral analytics, UEBA, and ITDR can piece together small signals into a clear story of compromise. You'll come away with practical steps to harden identity posture, spot early warning signs in cloud environments, and protect high value systems where trust can be turned directly into profit.

1134. This week, we look at the poetic power of personification (the language quirk that gives human traits to nonhuman things) and why style guides advise against using it for AI. Then, we look at the different names for common sayings, defining a proverb and breaking down the four main types: maxim, adage, dictum, and truism.The personification segment was written by Karen Lunde, a longtime writer and editor turned web designer and marketing mentor. Solo service business owners come to her for websites where beautiful design meets authentic words that actually build connections. Find her at chanterellemarketingstudio.com.The proverbs segment was written by Jim Norrena, MFA, who has been writing, editing, and leading grammar and proofreading workshops for more than thirty-five years. He founded TypoSuction.com, an independent editorial service, and is a member of Bay Area Editors' Forum. He also serves on the board of Professional Publishers Network. You can find him at LinkedIn.
