Much of the code that describes the inner workings of social networks, helps apps predict your musical interests, and underlies innovations in AI traces back to advances in mathematical theory and data science that fundamentally describe how massive networks behave.Jennifer Chayes helped create that field of math. She also spent 20 years at Microsoft building interdisciplinary research labs. Now, at UC Berkeley, her interests lie in using machine learning to work on topics like materials science, cancer immunotherapy, ethical decision-making, and climate change. She joins Flora for a wide-ranging discussion about math, networks, AI, academia, and her path between them.

Investigative journalist Zack Kopplin of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) joins AML Conversations to discuss his reporting on a Pentagon fuel subcontractor linked to individuals connected to U.S. sanctions targets. He explains how questionable contractors can remain embedded in government supply chains, why subcontractor vetting remains a persistent challenge, and what his investigation uncovered in Iraq and Lebanon. Kopplin also explores the broader fight against corruption and financial crime, including beneficial ownership transparency, anonymous shell companies, defense contracting oversight, and the growing use of "golden passports" by sanctioned actors, fraudsters, and other high-risk individuals seeking to obscure their identities. From tracing hidden ownership structures to uncovering international money laundering networks, this conversation offers a firsthand look at how investigative journalists expose corruption and why transparency remains critical to effective AML, sanctions, and compliance efforts.

Matt and Jason sat down with independent broadcaster and liberty activist Shannon Joy for a powerful conversation about ideological consistency and the cost of telling the truth. Utilizing her background in advertising and media, Shannon built a highly successful syndicated radio show, only to face severe backlash and deplatforming when she refused to capitulate to the MAGA movement. Recognizing Donald Trump as a Trojan horse for establishment interests from day one, she charted her own course. She overcame corporate rug pulls to build an independent media network that reaches a million listeners a month and recently ran for Lieutenant Governor of New York alongside Larry Sharpe to challenge and expose the fraudulent political apparatus. The conversation breaks down the illusion of political saviors and the reality of the bipartisan corporate-state nexus. The discussion explores how institutional capital is funding a rapid expansion of the surveillance state, turning everyday public utilities—like municipal streetlights—into high-speed, unconstitutional tracking nodes via Axon light posts and Flock cameras. Beyond the physical dragnet, the dialogue uncovers the insidious nature of "signature reduction," a government strategy deploying private fronts and civilian operations to manipulate local communities and social media narratives. It is a stark warning about the technocratic panopticon being built in our backyards under the guise of public safety.   The ultimate defense against a digitized, omnipresent surveillance state is hyper-localization and parallel institutions. The episode concludes with a deep dive into actionable countermeasures, emphasizing that human "relationships of trust" will soon become the most valuable commodity we possess. By actively adopting privacy-focused technologies, utilizing physical cash and precious metals, and intentionally building local supply chains, individuals can effectively starve the uniparty apparatus. The true white pill is a fearless return to localized human connection—rendering the corporate-state dragnet obsolete through unyielding, decentralized non-compliance.

Elena Burger is joined by a16z's Angela Strange and Gabriel Vasquez to discuss the rise of the "borderless founder": entrepreneurs who bring the networks and insights of their home markets together with the talent, capital, and speed of Silicon Valley to build global companies. Angela and Gabriel trace how a16z's international investing efforts grew from early work in Latin America into a broader global network, and why AI has accelerated the flow of founders and talent between Silicon Valley and startup ecosystems around the world. They explore the advantages borderless founders can bring, from differentiated talent networks and early customers to strong local brands and communities that help open doors across markets. They also discuss how founder diasporas can function like powerful alumni networks, why spending time in Silicon Valley can help founders recalibrate around speed and ambition, and how the next generation of global companies may increasingly be built across multiple countries from day one.   Resources: Read Angela Strange and Gabriel Vasquez's piece on Borderless Founders: https://www.a16z.news/p/rise-of-the-borderless-founder Follow Angela Strange on X: https://x.com/astrange Follow Gabriel Vasquez on X: https://x.com/GEVS94 Follow Elena Burger on X: https://x.com/VirtualElena   Stay Updated:Find a16z on YouTube: YouTubeFind a16z on XFind a16z on LinkedInListen to the a16z Show on SpotifyListen to the a16z Show on Apple PodcastsFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

What happens when the organization that has managed your association for decades tells you that you have 18 months to find a new path forward? How can association leaders navigate a major operational transition while protecting their staff, serving members, and making smart decisions about what to keep in-house and what to outsource?In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Angela Davis, CEO of the Society for Pediatric Radiology (SPR), and Yasmeen Fields, CEO of the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI). Angela and Yasmeen discuss:How SPR is a community of more than 3,000 physicians, trainees, and allied professionals dedicated to improving children's health through medical imaging, while SBI represents more than 4,200 breast imaging radiologists working to minimize breast cancer mortality and suffering.Why radiology has so many subspecialty associations. As Angela explains, “children are not small adults,” and specialized areas such as pediatric radiology and breast imaging require distinct expertise, education, and professional communities.How both SPR and SBI were managed for decades by the American College of Radiology (ACR), which provided the infrastructure, resources, expertise, and operational support that allowed smaller specialty societies to grow and thrive.How ACR ultimately decided to focus exclusively on its own mission, strategic plan, and members, giving the societies it managed 18 months to transition to a new management structure.How SPR and SBI evaluated different business models, including partnering with another radiology organization, working with an association management company (AMC), and becoming fully self-managed. Both initially partnered with AMCs before ultimately becoming standalone organizations.How becoming independent required Angela and Yasmeen to assume responsibility for functions that previously existed under the ACR umbrella, including HR, accounting, technology, investments, and operational decisions.How both organizations learned not to overcommit during a major transition. Today, both organizations combine small internal staffs with strategic outsourced support.How collaboration extends across the larger “House of Radiology.” Through gatherings like the ACR Inter-Society Conference, association executives and volunteer leaders learn from one another, develop stronger relationships, and see how their individual organizations fit into the broader radiology community.References:SBI WebsiteSPR Website

According to Greg Touhill, the first CISO of the United States, complexity is the bane of IT security. Today, that lesson remains especially relevant.  In this week's episode of Feds At The Edge, several thought leaders share how agencies can reduce complexity, integrate legacy systems, balance usability with security, and build a Zero Trust environment that continues to improve over time.  Robert Skinner of Skinner's Strategic Solutions, explores the power of reducing system complexity and data flows to unlock clearer analytics. David Klink of Leidos explains the challenge agencies face when they try to "shoehorn legacy identity methods" into modern enterprise compliance. Continuous monitoring and tools that identify systems operating outside enterprise Identity, Credential, and Access Management requirements can help bridge that gap.     Tune in on your favorite podcast platform to hear practical, actionable ideas for managing out-of-compliance infrastructure, maintaining continuous evaluation, and driving modern security compliance without sacrificing user experience.     

What happens when an autonomous AI agent can complete thousands of actions before a traditional access review has even identified that something has gone wrong? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Alex Bovee, CEO and co-founder of C1, about identity security, runtime governance, shadow AI, and the controls companies need as humans and agents begin working together. Alex has spent much of his career in identity and security. He and his co-founder previously worked at Okta on zero trust products before creating C1 as an access control platform capable of operating at machine speed. That requirement has become increasingly important as AI agents begin accessing company data, calling tools, using credentials, and taking actions across enterprise systems. Alex describes agents as non-deterministic systems that can "reward-max." An agent may pursue its assigned objective so aggressively that it finds an unexpected or dangerous way to complete the task. It does not possess a moral compass or an intuitive understanding of what the company considers acceptable. Traditional identity processes were created for people. A company might review access every 90 days or investigate a security issue after an event. That approach becomes inadequate when an agent can execute thousands of actions within minutes. We discuss why identity is becoming a control plane for AI agents. Networks, data systems, and security tools all play important roles, but identity determines which resources an agent can access, which actions it can perform, and whether it acts independently or on behalf of a person. Without a defined identity or delegated authorization model, an organization may struggle to connect an agent's behavior with a responsible owner, a limited mission, and enforceable permissions. Alex explains the four connected capabilities inside C1's Agentic Control Plane. The first concerns shadow AI discovery. Companies need visibility across cloud services, SaaS applications, endpoint agents, hosted agents, local MCP servers, and credentials stored throughout the environment. This is particularly relevant because employees are downloading locally developed or "vibe-coded" MCP servers and running agent tools on their devices. These components can introduce software supply chain risks and expose local credentials. The second capability covers credential security. C1 has introduced a post-quantum credential vault designed to protect secrets and inject them into authorized agent workflows without leaving credentials scattered across devices and applications. The third area is runtime governance. Instead of reviewing behavior after an incident, organizations can evaluate an agent's actions against its assigned mission as they occur. If an agent is authorized to complete one business task but begins exploiting an internal tool, contacting an unapproved service, or attempting to extract data, runtime controls can block the action or request human approval. The fourth capability concerns agentic security intelligence. This uses information collected across identities, agents, permissions, credentials, and behavior to identify risks and support automated remediation. We also discuss human accountability. Alex says emerging regulatory thinking recognizes the need for a responsible person behind an autonomous agent. That connection allows businesses to establish ownership, delegate authority, and determine who remains accountable for the agent's behavior. The conversation then turns to the effect of AI on employees. Alex rejects the assumption that organizations will simply remove people as agents become more capable. His preferred analogy is that people are moving from manually producing every artifact to building and supervising the factory. Employees provide the inputs, direct the agents, examine the outputs, and correct the process when necessary. C1 has experienced this internally. Alex says its engineering team increased from roughly 150 weekly software merges to around 1,500, while engineering headcount grew by approximately 10% to 15%. That productivity requires careful human review. Generating work faster does not remove the need to assess whether the output is accurate, secure, useful, and aligned with the original objective. For CISOs and CIOs, the goal is to provide a governed path for AI adoption. A blanket prohibition may encourage employees to work around policy. Secure self-service access can give teams approved tools, defined permissions, and runtime protection. If an AI agent can operate at machine speed, are your organization's identity controls capable of observing, authorizing, and stopping it at the same pace? Listen to the conversation and share your thoughts with me.

In this Soap Box edition of the Risky Business podcast host Patrick Gray chats with Adam Pointon, CEO of Knocknoc, about the failure of Zero Trust as a comprehensive architecture. Most networks look like they were designed in 1999, and most Zero Trust products look like they were designed for 2049. Instead, Patrick and Adam pitch something in the middle: Zero Trust(ish) networks, where Zero Trust principles are applied selectively where possible. Instead of trying to re-architect entire networks, maybe it's time we learned to apply Zero Trust principles selectively against risky assets. It's a better approach than the status quo, which involves liberal use of the “risk accepted” stamp. This episode is also available on YouTube Show notes

By Doug Green “It certainly eliminates the speed bump.” That is how James Walters, VP Strategic Vendors and Alliances at Exclusive Networks, describes the impact of the company's appointment as a Fortinet Global Distributor. In this TR Podcast, Walters explains that the new designation builds on a relationship with Fortinet spanning more than 25 years, while giving Exclusive Networks a framework to better support partners and customers pursuing cross-border and multinational opportunities. At the center of the new model is a global deal desk designed to centralize multinational transactions. Walters says Exclusive Networks can help coordinate requirements that previously had to be handled market by market, including payments, tax alignment, support documentation and support-of-record issues. The result, he says, should be fewer administrative requirements, faster sales cycles and improved revenue recognition for partners and their customers. Under previous arrangements, multinational deals often required partners to work through local teams and local processes, creating inconsistencies in technical support, deal structure and transaction velocity. The new framework is intended to remove those friction points while preserving Fortinet's partner protections. It is aimed at global systems integrators and large international partners, but Walters says regional resellers with customers expanding internationally should also engage Exclusive Networks. The opportunity also extends to enterprise customers and MSPs. Enterprises operating across multiple countries can use the model to accelerate Fortinet deployments and strengthen security posture across locations. MSPs, meanwhile, can use Exclusive Networks' global go-to-market support to expand Fortinet technology across multinational customer environments, with support spanning pre-sales, point of sale, implementation and lifecycle management. Walters describes the designation as a natural next step in an already strong Fortinet relationship. His message to partners is straightforward: whether they are global integrators, MSPs or regional resellers beginning to follow customers into new markets, Exclusive Networks now has a broader global structure to help them take Fortinet solutions across borders with less friction and more consistent support.

This week we're recasting Preston's conversation with Dr. Anna Simons from May 2023. Anna retired as a Professor of Defense Analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School. She holds a PhD in Social Anthropology from Harvard University and an A.B. from Harvard College. She is the author of Networks of Dissolution: Somalia Undone and The Company They Keep: Life Inside the U.S. Army Special Forces. She is also the co-author of The Sovereignty Solution: A Commonsense Approach to Global Security. Her fieldwork began in Somalia in the late 1980s, embedded with a Special Forces mobile training team, years before most Americans had heard of the country. This work marked the start of a career devoted to studying the ties that bind operators together and the forces that pull them apart.Preston and Anna range widely: why assessment and selection should simulate the actual conditions operators will face rather than test for a generic standard; "warrior" branding and tribal emblems, and what it signals when a unit needs more mystique than its mission alone provides; the difference between interchangeability and neurodiversity, and why teams need both depending on whether the problem in front of them is technical or adaptive; and the concept of communitas.Asked what advice she'd give the people responsible for assessing, selecting, and educating MCTs today, Anna recommends holding people to high standards and communicating your expectations. She also makes a book recommendation of her own: Chris Miller's Soldier Secretary, which she read cover to cover the day it was published in 2023.

Spain's border just collapsed in Ceuta, and it's not a coincidence. I break down the globalist network behind the crisis, from Pedro Sanchez to George Soros to Bill Gates, and why this is a direct preview of what's coming to America.What we cover:How 60,000 military age men breached Spain's border in Ceuta and Melilla, and why it wasn't spontaneous.Pedro Sanchez's mass regularization program and the legal loopholes that incentivized the invasion.Why Sanchez refused to declare a national emergency while deploying police against his own citizens instead.The international backlash across Europe, including Italy suspending Schengen cooperation and the US floating travel restrictions.Sanchez's role as president of Socialist International and his coordination with the global socialist left.His documented meetings with Soros, Gates, and the Davos elite, and what Spain got in return.The Iran linked funding behind Podemos and Sumar, and how that money bought Sanchez's cabinet.Qatar and Turkey's financial rewards for Spain's anti Israel foreign policy.The direct policy overlap between Sanchez's Spain and the DSA's platform here in the US.How, where, and why this same donor network, from ActBlue to CCP linked operatives, is already active on American soil.If you care about border security, national sovereignty, and who's really funding the global left, this is the episode you need to watch.
