Matt Muller, Field CISO at Tines, knows all about revolutionizing security operations through strategic AI integration and intelligent automation. In his conversation with Jack, Matt explores how traditional SOC models create problematic feedback loops where junior analysts make critical decisions while senior practitioners handle escalations, limiting learning and growth opportunities.  Instead, Matt envisions AI-assisted workflows where senior expertise gets encoded into intelligent systems that teach junior team members while they work, transforming security operations from reactive alert-chasing to proactive strategic defense. He also emphasizes communication skills, relationship building, and moving beyond being perceived as the team of no to become strategic enablers. Topics discussed: Evolution from banning ChatGPT to strategic AI integration in security operations, emphasizing augmentation over replacement strategies. Model Context Protocol implementation challenges and the importance of safe-by-default approaches when integrating emerging AI technologies into production. Traditional SOC tier models create problematic feedback loops where junior analysts make critical decisions but lack learning opportunities. AI-assisted workflows can transform security operations by encoding senior expertise into systems that teach while automating routine tasks. Practical approaches to AI adoption including demystification techniques, validation methods, and breaking complex problems into manageable components. Strategic implementation of AI agents in security workflows, particularly for non-deterministic tasks like phishing investigation and alert triage. Importance of maintaining human oversight and guardrails when deploying AI systems in critical security operations and incident response. Communication skills and relationship building as fundamental competencies for security practitioners working with both AI systems and human stakeholders. Safe experimentation with AI technologies through controlled environments and understanding system limitations before production deployment. Listen to more episodes:  Apple  Spotify  YouTube Website

Most people get travel information about road closures from Google Maps, Apple Maps or a similar smartphone-based application. But when a road is closed, most transportation agencies put out a press release. And this disconnect is not only annoying—it can be a public safety hazard. So after the recent catastrophic flooding in his Southeast Wisconsin community, Dusty wants to start a conversation about how public officials can modernize the way they communicate about road closures in 2025. Because, in order to maximize the impact of potentially life-saving information, municipalities and departments of transportation need to take their message to the channels that the public actually uses. In this episode, we speak with Scott Oppmann, ArcGIS Solutions Director at Esri. Esri's ArcGIS is the leading mapping and spatial analytics software in its field, allowing organizations to leverage location-based digital insights across a wide variety of fields. And Esri's Community Maps Program and Road Closures solution helps local governments get time-sensitive travel information out to the apps that people actually use when they travel. We'll discuss the imperative for pushing live travel updates to maps apps, different methods for doing so, and why it's important to have a plan in place BEFORE an emergency strikes.

California homeowners are facing a growing wildfire insurance crisis. With rising rates, reduced coverage options, and increased wildfire risk due to climate change and inflation, understanding your insurance options is more important than ever. In this episode of the All Things Wildfire podcast, host OP Almaraz speaks with Sharon Smith, Outreach Analyst at the California Department of Insurance, to discuss the challenges, solutions, and legislative changes shaping wildfire coverage in California. Why Wildfire Insurance Rates Are Rising in California Wildfire insurance premiums are increasing due to multiple factors: Climate change is driving more frequent and severe wildfires. Inflation has pushed up construction and repair costs. Outdated regulations under Proposition 103 have made it difficult for insurers to adapt pricing to today's risks. Sharon explains why Prop 103 needs modernization to better protect homeowners and keep insurance available in high-risk fire zones. Understanding Proposition 103 and Its Impact Proposition 103 is a decades-old regulation that governs how insurance rates are approved in California. While it was designed to protect consumers, many experts argue it hasn't evolved to address the current wildfire landscape. Modernizing Prop 103 could help stabilize the insurance market while ensuring fair treatment for policyholders. The Safer from Wildfires Program The Safer from Wildfires program is a state-led initiative to improve home resilience against wildfire damage. By completing specific home-hardening measures, homeowners may: Reduce their risk of fire damage. Qualify for potential insurance discounts. Increase their chances of keeping existing coverage. The California Fair Plan: Last-Resort Coverage For homeowners unable to find traditional coverage, the California Fair Plan acts as a safety net. However, it's meant as a temporary solution. Modernizing the Fair Plan is essential, especially for high-value homes that require broader protection. Admitted vs. Non-Admitted Insurance Carriers Understanding the difference between admitted insurance carriers (regulated by the state) and non-admitted carriers (not backed by the state's guarantee fund) is critical when comparing wildfire insurance policies. Sharon provides insights on the pros and cons of each option. Smoke Remediation and New Task Force Efforts Smoke damage after a wildfire can create serious health hazards. The California Department of Insurance has established a task force to address smoke remediation standards, helping homeowners get better results from their claims and contractors. Legislative Changes and Homeowner Resources Sharon discusses new legislative proposals designed to: Ease the recovery process after a wildfire. Improve claims handling by insurance companies. Provide more resources to homeowners navigating wildfire-related claims. The California Department of Insurance offers free resources to help property owners understand their rights, find coverage, and take preventive measures.

In this episode, Alex speaks with transportation policy expert Robert Poole about his book Rethinking America's Highways. Poole makes the case for replacing the current tax-funded, politically managed highway system with a customer-focused, market-based model. He outlines how tolling, public-private partnerships, and long-term concessions can improve infrastructure, reduce congestion, and provide sustainable funding. The discussion examines lessons from international examples, the political and technical barriers to reform, and why a shift in mindset is essential for meeting America's future mobility needs.

Marshall Rabil is the third-generation President and CEO of Hubbard Peanut Company, the country's oldest specialty peanut brand, famously known as "Hubs." Founded by his grandparents in 1954 in Sedley, Virginia, Hubs is a household name celebrated for its super extra-large Virginia peanuts. Before taking the helm, Marshall cultivated a global perspective, working in sustainable development and education in Japan and around the world. He later gained invaluable industry experience as a specialty food buyer at Whole Foods, inspired by the principles of Conscious Capitalism. In 2016, Marshall returned to his roots, bringing a vision to blend the company's rich tradition with modern innovation, community engagement, and long-term growth.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode, host Jonathan Goldhill sits down with Marshall Rabil to explore the journey of leading a 70-year-old family legacy into the future. Marshall shares how his experiences abroad, from Japanese villages to international development projects, shaped his desire to use the family business as a catalyst for positive change in his own rural Virginia community. We dive into the nuts and bolts of this transformation, from turning an old grocery store into a vibrant community hub to competing against private equity-backed giants. Marshall offers a candid look at the delicate balancing act of honoring his grandparents' legacy while implementing new technology, marketing strategies, and, most importantly, navigating the complex dynamics of family ownership and succession.KEY TAKEAWAYSBusiness as a Community Catalyst: Marshall is using the business as a force for good, transforming an old grocery store into "The Hubs Vine," a community event space, and forging deep partnerships with the local food bank through initiatives like the "Homegrown Harvest" festival.The Value of Outside Experience: The Rabil family mantra was to "go and work for someone else first." Marshall's time in international education and at Whole Foods provided him with a unique perspective that has been crucial for innovating within the family business.Navigating the Private Equity Wave: Instead of selling to private equity firms that are acquiring competitors, the Rabil family chose to reinvest in their business. Hubs differentiates itself by focusing on its premium quality, its authentic story, and strategic partnerships with brands like Orvis.The Toughest Challenge is Family Alignment: Marshall reveals that the most critical and time-consuming challenge isn't operations or scaling, but getting the multi-generational family owners aligned on corporate governance, especially the buy-sell agreement.Modernizing a Legacy Brand: Marshall is spearheading the adoption of new technologies, from a sophisticated Shopify Plus website and data analytics tools to exploring automation on the production line, ensuring the brand remains relevant.Patience in a Legacy Business: Leading a 70-year-old company requires patience. Marshall emphasizes the need to take a step back, understand different family perspectives, and accept that meaningful change takes time.QUOTES"I was really starting to think how can business, um, be a catalyst for change in our community?""I was always encouraged to go out and do something before you want to come back here. So that was always kind of our family mantra was, you need to go and work for someone else first.""I think our value has multiplied because of some of those efforts. But it required a lot of work.""Of the seven things that you mentioned, that [family alignment on corporate governance] is the one that is taking the most time and attention... because you have to get the family on board.""I have to remind myself too, you know, take a step back. You'll get there. I like things to happen a little quicker than they do sometimes."Connect and learn more about Marshall Rabil and Hubbard Peanut Company:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marshall-rabil-83a24a15/Company LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hubbard-peanut-company-inc/If you enjoyed today's episode, please subscribe, review, and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.

Greg Farnum, Senior VP and General Manager at Audacious Inquiry, a PointClickCare company, brings expertise in health information exchange, public health, and health IT policy. Audacious is using AI to reduce administrative burdens and improve clinical workflows, facilitating data exchange, enhancing decision-making, and providing a better patient experience. Working with the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy and other federal and state agencies, Audacious is developing tools to summarize lengthy test results, generate educational materials, and suggest relevant responses to public inquiries. Greg explains, "We have a full-stack engineering team, a managed services team, expertise in health IT policy and regulation, health IT standards, public health, and now artificial intelligence. So we work with ASTP (Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy), which is also known as the old ONCCDC, plus a bunch of other federal and state agencies, HIEs, and public health. We are part of PointClickCare, a leading health tech company with one simple mission -- to help providers deliver exceptional care across thousands of facilities." "ASTP has some really interesting challenges that are perfect for AI. They're dealing with some complex data analysis challenges and the creation of content for industry and the public. They also respond to thousands of public inquiries yearly. So we're helping them with all of those things and leveraging AI tools to do that."   "I'll get a little more specific. Every year, hundreds of health IT organizations and developers submit these things they call testing results associated with their real-world test plans. But there's no standard format for this. So, ASTP staff have to manually read through each of these documents. And these are big documents. They can be 50 pages, they could be 200 pages, and the staff need to go through and figure out where the answers are to these specific questions. So we've built some AI tools that can read the entire document and automatically extract the answers using things like natural language processing and other AI components."  #PointClickCare #AudaciousInquiry #AI #MedAI #ResponsibleAI #AdministrativeBurdens #DigitalHealth #Healthcare #HealthcareRegulation #ClinicianBurnout #Clinicians pointclickcare.com/audacious-inquiry Download the transcript here

    About this episode:  GPS, drones, laser-guidance—all modern marvels that have served mankind in both peace and war. Nothing new, for there were creations and adaptations for a conflict contested in the 1860s; enough so that that confrontation has been called, by many, the first “modern war.”  This is the story of enterprising inventors and engineers and their ideas and machines—their taking theory and making it practical.  The ongoing marriage between innovation and war, this is the story of Science and Technology in the American Civil War.   ----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: Joseph Bailey Henry Pleasants Richard Gatling Samuel Morse Horace Lawson Hunley   For Further Reading: Trial by Fire: Science, Technology and the Civil War by Charles D.

Celine Song, writer-director of the new film Materialists, uses a similar framework that garnered her a lot of admiration from moviegoers. In her feature directorial debut, Past Lives, the lead character Nora struggles to manage a love triangle, only for her to discover what the differences are between these lives she’s romanticized. In Materialists, Lucy deals with a similar problem, although the film spends a lot more time on why we date, and the equations we come up with in our head to find ‘the one.’ Today on FilmWeek, we’re joined by Materialists writer-director Celine Song, and getting a sense of how she created this world that reflects today’s dating culture.
