Csepelyi Adrienn író, újságíró, szerkesztő, dalszövegek, emberi helyzetek, vidéki és városi terek érzékeny megfigyelője, aki az elmúlt években egészen sajátos hangon kezdte összekötni a személyes emlékezetet, a tájnyelvet, a családi örökséget, az utazás élményét és a jelenidejű városi lét apró, sokszor nagyon is beszédes jeleneteit. Találkozásunk apropója az Otthonról haza című új kötete, amely június 9-től már elérhető lesz az olvasók számára, és amelynek címe önmagában is pontosan kijelöli azt az érzelmi és földrajzi mozgást, amely Adrienn írásainak egyik legfontosabb tapasztalata. Szatmár, Budapest, úton levés, visszatérés, elindulás, megérkezés, és közben mindaz a különös figyelem, amellyel az ember észreveszi a vonaton, a piacon, a gangon vagy a falusi utcában azt a pillanatot, amelyből egyszer csak novella lesz. A beszélgetésből kiderül majd, hogyan épül fel ez a hármas tagolású kötet, amelyben az otthon Szatmárhoz, a haza Budapesthez, a kettő között pedig az utazás mindennapi, abszurd, megható és sokszor fájdalmasan ismerős helyzeteihez kapcsolódik. Adrienn pontosan látja, hogy az ember életében a helyek sosem puszta díszletek. A táj, a nyelv, a közlekedés, a piac, a szomszéd, a buszmegálló, a vonatablakból elkapott mozdulat mind dolgozni kezd benne, és évekkel később is képes visszatérni egy történetben. Szóba kerül az is, miért ennyire fontos számára az úton levés állapota. Ő maga mondja, hogy az úton levésben van otthon, és ez a mondat talán az egész kötet egyik kulcsa lehetne. Nem véletlen, hogy a vonatok, átszállások, várakozások, felsővezeték-szakadások, állomási beszélgetések és véletlen találkozások ennyire erősen jelen vannak a szövegeiben. Ezekben a helyzetekben ugyanis az emberek sokszor akaratlanul is megmutatnak magukból valamit, amit máskor gondosan elrejtenének. A műsorban beszélünk majd arról is, hogyan él tovább benne Szatmár, miközben hosszú évek óta Budapest belvárosában él. A falusi és a városi lét nála nem egymást kioltó tapasztalat, sokkal inkább két olyan világ, amelyek folyamatosan beszélgetnek egymással. Egy gangon locsolt virág, egy piaci eladó két kedves mondata, egy falusi udvar csendje vagy a hetedik kerület zaja ugyanannak az érzékeny figyelemnek a része. Az új kötet végén dallista is szerepel, méghozzá alkotói nyomként. Vannak számok, amelyek egy-egy novella írása közben újra és újra megszólaltak, és akad olyan szereplő is, aki talán meg sem született volna egy bizonyos dal nélkül.

Mörk Leonóra több évtizedes újságírói pályája után ma már a kortárs magyar szórakoztató irodalom egyik legolvasottabb és legkitartóbban dolgozó szerzője, miközben pontosan őrzi azt a figyelmet, emberismeretet és történetérzéket, amelyet valaha a Nők Lapja és az Elle szerkesztőségeiben csiszolt ilyen biztosra. Találkozásunk apropója az Ezüstszélű felhők című új kötete, amely a Könyvhétre jelenik meg, és amely ezúttal más irányból mutatja meg őt az olvasóknak. Ez a könyv tárcák, publicisztikák, novellák és új írások különleges válogatása, egy olyan anyag, amelyben visszaköszön a régi újságírói korszak lendülete, miközben már ott van benne az érett regényíró tapasztalata is. Nóra arról fog mesélni, hogyan lehet egy hajdani magazinos szövegből mai, olvasható, eleven könyvfejezetet formálni. A régi írásokhoz új gondolatok kerültek, sok szöveg átalakult, bővült, más hangsúlyt kapott, és ettől az egész kötet nem archív válogatásként működik, hanem személyes, friss és nagyon is mai könyvként. Egy újságírói életmű fontos darabjai találkoznak benne azzal a nővel, aki ma már regényekben, történelmi alakokban, sorsfordító helyzetekben és finoman megírt emberi pillanatokban gondolkodik. Szóba kerül az is, milyen különös érzés számára, amikor olvasók évtizedek múltán is emlékeznek egy-egy régi cikkére. Azokra az időkre, amikor a nyomtatott magazin még valódi közös kulturális tér volt, amikor egy Nők Lapja-cikket továbbadtak, megőriztek, megbeszéltek, és amikor egy szerkesztőségnek egészen más súlya volt, mint ma a gyorsan pörgő digitális felületeknek. Leonóra most ebből a világból is hoz valamit, de úgy, hogy közben pontosan érti, mennyit változott körülöttünk minden. A műsorban a Könyvhét is fontos szerepet kap majd, hiszen idén különösen sűrű napok várnak rá. Június 12-én három különböző kiadóhoz is kapcsolódik majd dedikálással és megjelenéssel: a Jaffa Kiadónál az Ezüst szélű felhőket mutatja be, az ELTE Legendák kötetében is szerepel írása, valamint az Athenaeum gyógyító történeteket összegyűjtő antológiájában is olvasható lesz egy novellája.

When every networking engineer in Silicon Valley said TCP/IP was wrong for Ethernet, one IIT graduate from India ignored the consensus, built the internet's physical backbone, and still got passed over for CEO twice because of his ethnicity. Kanwal Rekhi, co-founder of TiE and the first Indian founder to list a venture-backed company on NASDAQ, joins host Akshay Datt to unpack the contrarian bets, the ruthless founder-evaluation framework, and his central provocation for the Indian startup ecosystem: India does not need more unicorns, it needs 10 million entrepreneurs. Born in what is now Pakistan in 1945, Kanwal Rekhi arrived in the US in 1967 as part of India's first IIT emigrant wave, survived three layoffs, and co-founded Excelan, the first company to commercialise Ethernet and TCP/IP, taking it public on NASDAQ in 1987 with $22M in revenue and 70-90% gross margins. He later served as EVP and CTO at Novell when it reached $12 billion in market cap as the world's second-largest software company, before co-founding TiE, today the world's largest entrepreneur network. In this conversation with host Akshay Datt, Rekhi reveals why he ignores TAM entirely when evaluating founders, how one pricing decision transformed Excelan from a near-failing startup into a near-90% gross margin business, and why the Indian startup ecosystem is building for the wrong 40% of the country. He also traces how his decision to open-source Unix at Novell seeded the ecosystem that scaled Infosys, TCS, and Wipro, and describes how Silicon Valley Quad backs first-time founders with $3M seed rounds and deep mentorship.

David Matalon grew up in Great Neck, outside of New York City. He's always been interested in tech, way back in the early days of PCs, DOS, Windows and even Novell. In fact, he was the high school kid with an IT Consulting business on the side (yes, he wore a beeper to school). He graduated from NYU, and started his first company Offyx. Outside of tech, he is married with 4 kids. When asked about what he does for fun, he says that enjoys the all compassing nature of work and family life.David's whole career has been centered around helping companies deliver distributed applications. In most of recent history, virtual desktops or VDI has been the de facto solution for businesses, with lots of issues and pains baked in. David and his team heard the cries of their customers, and decided to build a better solution - one, with a blue border.This is the creation story of Venn.SponsorsUnblockedTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiLinkshttps://www.venn.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidmatalon/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode of Content Amplified, host Ben Ard is joined by Justin Steinman, CMO of ModMed, for a masterclass on marketing organizational design and how it fuels a powerful content engine. Justin breaks down his philosophy of structuring marketing teams like a free market economy — aligning product marketers with product managers, specialty marketers with general managers, and demand gen managers with sales segments (even tying their bonuses to sales quota achievement). He explains the critical role of corporate marketing as the unifying brand voice and introduces his "steak and sizzle" framework: product marketing delivers the substance while the content team in corporate marketing adds the voice and consistency. Justin also dives into how AI is reshaping content demands, why press releases are back in vogue thanks to LLMs, and how he positions AI as an "intern" — an accelerant for his content team rather than a replacement.Guest Bio:Justin Steinman is the Chief Marketing Officer at ModMed, the leading provider of electronic medical records, practice management, and revenue cycle software for specialty physicians. A seasoned B2B marketing executive with over 20 years of experience in healthcare IT, Justin previously served as CMO of Insora Health and Definitive Healthcare (where he helped take the company public on NASDAQ). His earlier career includes roles at Aetna, GE Healthcare IT, and Novell. Justin holds an English degree and is passionate about organizational design, content strategy, and building marketing teams that make everyone around them better.Text us what you think about this episode!

Új podcast sorozatunk Kassák Lajos önéletrajzi ihletésű írásait egy novellaválogatással egészíti ki. A rövidebb-hosszabb írások fiatal színészek, Ferenczy-Nagy Boglárka, Lehel Vilmos, Regös Simon és Vízi Dávid hangján szólalnak meg. Kéthetente szerdán jelentkezünk a folytatással! Az 1926-ban a Tisztaság könyvében megjelent prózavers füzér az emigráció (1923, Bécs) tapasztalatából indul ki. Szegénységben, bizonytalanságban telnek a napok, miközben a forradalom apálya már érezhető, a korábbi lelkesedés kiábrándultságba fordul. A mozgalmon belüli frakcióharcok és a prófétai pózok elutasítása belső válságot tükröz. A személyes kapaszkodót Kassáknak a feleségéhez, Jolánhoz fűződő érzelmek, a szerelem és a mindennapi együttélés jelenti, amely ellenpontozza a történelmi vereséget. A mű végül az önmagára találó, „konstruktőr” ember magatartását hirdeti: a világ és az egyén egymásba fonódik, és az újrakezdés lehetősége az ember belső erejében rejlik.Felolvasó: Vízi Dávid

In this episode of The New CISO, host Steve Moore speaks with Dean Sapp, CISO and Data Protection Officer at Filevine, about one of security's most critical yet overlooked skills—written communication. Drawing from a brutal college English class that failed students for a single typo and over 20 years building security programs in the legal tech industry, Dean reveals why the ability to articulate security findings clearly separates average professionals from exceptional leaders who drive real business impact.After abandoning architecture when he learned it would take six years to become licensed, Dean leveraged his dual skills in computer-aided drafting and IT to launch a career at Novell, eventually earning nine certifications in two years and a master's degree from SANS Institute. His background in design thinking shapes how he approaches security program development—viewing it like building a structure that requires solid foundations, functional systems, and even window dressing like SOC 2 compliance.After interviewing over 100 candidates for SOC positions, Dean identifies the biggest missing skill as the inability to translate security findings into business language executives understand and act upon. He introduces the BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) principle from military communications, explaining why security professionals have roughly eight seconds to capture executive attention. Dean champions radical transparency through simple frameworks—using stoplight systems or report card grades to communicate security posture, deliberately giving his own program failing marks in areas needing improvement to build trust.Dean tackles operational communication breakdowns that create real security risk, emphasizing mandatory peer review before escalating incidents. This two-person rule dramatically improves report quality while reducing false positives that waste senior leadership time. He shares how this high-standards approach helped Filevine achieve best-in-class cyber insurance rates, with underwriters calling their security program superior to any SaaS provider they'd evaluated. Drawing on Erik Durschmied's "The Hinge Factor," he illustrates how small communication failures doom missions—just as cavalry troops charging cannons failed because not one rider carried the nails and hammer needed to disable them.Throughout the discussion, Dean emphasizes holding yourself to impossibly high standards so that external auditors find you excellent. He advocates for brutal honesty about program gaps, documenting accepted risks clearly, and using tools like Grammarly Premium to improve writing quality. His philosophy combines military precision, architectural thinking, and pedagogical discipline—all in service of making security programs that actually work rather than just looking good on paper.Key Topics Discussed:* Why written communication is security's most critical missing skill* BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): Capturing executive attention in 8 seconds* Using stoplight or report card systems for transparent board reporting* Giving your security program honest grades to build executive trust* Mandatory peer review before escalation to reduce false positives* How Filevine achieved best-in-class cyber insurance rates* The two-person rule for improving incident report quality* Lessons from "The Hinge Factor" about preparation and tools* Holding impossibly high standards so external auditors find you excellent* Translating technical findings into business impact languageLEARN MORE:

Shameless plug 25 et 26 février 2026 - SéQCure 2026 CfP 31 mars au 2 avril 2026 - Forum INCYBER - Europe 2026 14 au 17 avril 2026 - Botconf 2026 28 et 29 avril 2026 - Cybereco Cyberconférence 2026 9 au 17 mai 2026 - NorthSec 2026 3 au 5 juin 2026 - SSTIC 2026 19 septembre 2026 - Bsides Montréal Description Les initiatives du gouvernement du Québec en cybersécurité Dans cet épisode du podcast, je reçois Yvan Fournier, chef gouvernemental de la sécurité de l'information du gouvernement du Québec, qui occupe le poste de sous-ministre adjoint. Cette conversation révèle l'ampleur des transformations en cours au sein de l'appareil gouvernemental québécois en matière de cybersécurité. Un parcours technique impressionnant Yvan Fournier possède un parcours professionnel remarquable de 29 ans dans le réseau de la santé, où il a occupé pratiquement tous les postes possibles, du technicien jusqu'au directeur général de la cybersécurité. Son expertise technique est considérable : il détient 22 certifications en cybersécurité, a été le premier instructeur Novell francophone, et a même participé à des concours de hacking aux États-Unis. Cette solide expérience technique lui permet aujourd'hui d'apporter une vision pragmatique et éclairée à son rôle stratégique. Les 15 mesures obligatoires : une base solide En 2019, en collaboration avec des champions du réseau gouvernemental, l'équipe d'Yvan Fournier a établi 15 mesures obligatoires de cybersécurité, inspirées du référentiel NIST. Ces mesures incluent des éléments fondamentaux comme l'authentification multifacteur, l'application des correctifs de sécurité, et l'utilisation de systèmes d'exploitation encore supportés par les fabricants. Ces mesures constituent le socle sur lequel repose aujourd'hui la stratégie de cybersécurité gouvernementale, visant à protéger les données des citoyens et assurer la continuité des services publics. Une surveillance centralisée 24/7/365 L'un des projets phares actuels est la mise en place d'un service de surveillance centralisé fonctionnant 24 heures sur 24, 7 jours sur 7, 365 jours par année, basé sur l'intelligence artificielle. Historiquement, chaque organisme public devait assurer sa propre surveillance, ce qui créait des disparités importantes selon les ressources disponibles. Les petits organismes ne pouvaient pas se permettre d'avoir du personnel de garde en permanence. Le nouveau système centralise les données provenant de multiples sources : les EDR (antivirus avancés), les balayages de vulnérabilités externes et internes, les PDNS (pour surveiller les employés en télétravail), et les vérifications des Active Directory. Toutes ces informations convergent vers des SIEM et SOAR locaux, basés sur l'IA, permettant une vue d'ensemble complète de l'état de sécurité du gouvernement. Le gouvernement collabore également avec des firmes privées pour assurer cette surveillance continue. Fait intéressant, le coût de ce service est environ deux fois moins élevé que ce que paient certaines organisations privées, tout en offrant un niveau de service supérieur. Le regroupement RHI : une révolution organisationnelle Un changement majeur qui n'a pas reçu l'attention médiatique qu'il mérite est le regroupement RHI, qui intègre la cybersécurité de 52 organismes publics (ministères et organismes) directement au sein du MCN (Ministère de la Cybersécurité et du Numérique). Cette centralisation, qui prendra effet à partir du 1er avril, permettra d'harmoniser les choix technologiques et stratégiques dans tout l'appareil gouvernemental. Comme le souligne Fournier, ce n'est pas parce qu'un organisme est petit qu'il doit avoir une sécurité moins robuste, car tous les systèmes sont interconnectés et une vulnérabilité dans un petit organisme peut compromettre l'ensemble. L'automatisation et la réactivité L'un des enjeux majeurs identifiés par Fournier est la vitesse à laquelle les attaques se produisent désormais. Avec l'arrivée de l'intelligence artificielle, le nombre d'attaques a augmenté drastiquement, et le temps entre la découverte d'une vulnérabilité zero-day et son exploitation est passé de plusieurs jours ou semaines à environ quatre heures. Cette réalité impose une automatisation des réponses. Le nouveau système permettra non seulement de détecter les menaces en temps réel, mais aussi d'automatiser les réactions : bloquer automatiquement les serveurs compromis, déployer centralement les indicateurs de compromission (IOC) sur tous les pare-feu du gouvernement, et même arrêter préventivement les services à risque. L'exemple de la vulnérabilité SharePoint illustre bien cette capacité : le Québec a agi rapidement en fermant les systèmes vulnérables, alors qu'une autre province a subi le piratage de 900 serveurs SharePoint. Reconnaissance internationale et création de CVE Un accomplissement remarquable est que le Québec (et non le Canada) fait maintenant partie des 20 organisations mondiales autorisées à créer des CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures), aux côtés du Luxembourg. Cette reconnaissance témoigne de l'excellence des équipes de pentesting québécoises, qui découvrent régulièrement des vulnérabilités, parfois avec l'aide de pentesteurs virtuels basés sur l'IA. Le balayage de vulnérabilités : externe et interne Le balayage externe des vulnérabilités, déployé massivement pendant le confinement, permet déjà une visibilité complète sur la surface d'attaque visible depuis Internet. Le balayage interne, actuellement en cours de déploiement, apportera une dimension supplémentaire cruciale. Au-delà de l'identification des vulnérabilités, ces outils permettront de créer un inventaire automatisé et centralisé de tous les équipements, logiciels, et même des microcodes des contrôleurs de stockage et des BIOS. Cet inventaire facilitera grandement la gestion des risques : lorsqu'une nouvelle vulnérabilité est annoncée, il sera possible de cibler immédiatement les organismes concernés plutôt que d'alerter tout le monde. De plus, cet inventaire donnera une vision claire de la dette technique et permettra de prioriser les investissements en fonction des risques réels. Le défi des objets connectés Fournier identifie les objets connectés (IoT) comme un défi majeur pour l'avenir. Ces dispositifs, de plus en plus présents dans l'environnement gouvernemental (santé, transport, construction), posent des problèmes de sécurité particuliers. La majorité des microcodes sont produits par cinq grandes compagnies chinoises, et ces objets peuvent contenir des fonctionnalités insoupçonnées, comme la reconnaissance faciale dans un drone à 40 dollars. L'exemple du thermomètre d'aquarium ayant servi de point d'entrée pour paralyser un casino pendant 24 heures illustre les risques associés. Pour Fournier, avoir un inventaire complet des objets connectés dans l'appareil gouvernemental représente le “Saint Graal” de la cybersécurité. Le projet de loi 82 et les infrastructures critiques Le projet de loi 82 confère pour la première fois au gouvernement du Québec une responsabilité dans la sécurité des infrastructures critiques de la société civile. Cela inclut l'eau, l'électricité, et d'autres services essentiels. Le gouvernement commence déjà à travailler avec certaines municipalités qui manifestent un vif intérêt pour cette collaboration, particulièrement importante considérant la vulnérabilité des systèmes de gestion de l'eau. Conclusion Les initiatives présentées par Yvan Fournier démontrent que le gouvernement du Québec prend la cybersécurité au sérieux et investit massivement dans la protection de ses systèmes et des données des citoyens. La centralisation des ressources, l'automatisation des réponses, la surveillance continue, et l'adoption de technologies basées sur l'IA positionnent le Québec comme un leader en matière de cybersécurité gouvernementale. Ces efforts et combinés à l'ouverture au code source, tracent la voie vers un avenir numérique plus sûr pour tous les Québécois.

Papp Noémi író „Miattad felébrednék” című novelláskötete a Jaffa Kiadó gondozásában jelent meg, és már az első hetekben elindult az olvasók között, mint egy szelíd, de pontos tükör a mindennapokról. A kötet rövid történetei az élet apró helyzeteiből épülnek. Van bennük sírás és nevetés, leválás és ígéret, kapcsolat, csalódás, újrakezdés, buszon ülő idegen és elcsúszott mesterember – vagy éppen egy tál töltött káposzta, ami egy egész család történetét meséli el. Noémi nem ítélkezik, nem tanít, csak megmutat, és ettől lesz hiteles. „A jó novella olyan, mint a jó vicc – nem elég jónak lennie, jól is kell elmondani” – mondta a műsorban. A beszélgetésben szó esik arról is, hogy a kötetben szinte minden történethez kapcsolódik valamilyen íz, illat, étel vagy ital. „Rájöttem, hogy az életünket átszövi az étkezés. Benne van az emlékekben, a gyerekkorban, a családi ünnepekben, ezért a novellákban is jelen van.” A könyvben huszonnyolc rövid írás kapott helyet, amelyek között több is a párkapcsolatok köré épül. Van, amelyik újrakezdésről szól, más elengedésről, és olyan is, amelyik a hétköznapi bosszúságokat foglalja irodalomba. Egyes történeteket évekkel ezelőtt írt, mások most születtek, így a kötet egy évtizednyi érzelmi anyagból épül fel. A szerző elárulta, hogy a cím egy véletlenül hallott mondatból született: egy kávézóban fülelt ki egy beszélgetést, amely így zárult: „Miattad felébrednék.” Azonnal tudta, hogy ez lesz a kötet címe. „Annyira megfogott, mert benne van minden: szerelem, vágy, magány és valami remény is.” Noémi korábban két történelmi regényt is írt, és a Sláger KULT-ban arról is beszélt, mennyire más élmény novellákat írni. „A regény hosszú utazás, a novella viszont koncentrált jelenlét. Minden mondat számít, nincs hely a díszítésre. De mindkettőt szeretem, mert mindkettő más oldalamat mutatja.” A műsorból kiderül, hogy a szerző rendszeres kapcsolatban van az olvasóival, közösségi oldalán aktívan beszélget velük, és már most sokan visszajeleztek, hogy magukra ismertek a történetekben. „Ha valaki azt mondja, hogy ezzel a könyvvel nem érzi magát egyedül, az nekem a legnagyobb ajándék” – fogalmazott Noémi.A Sláger FM-en minden este 22 órakor a kultúráé a főszerep S.

The Communist's Secret is Book 2 of the Leningrad Trilogy. Driven by a blind devotion to the Communist Party, self-centered Katya Karavayeva has broken the most important rule in Soviet society: never say anything that can be used against you.

Katya hopes to halt her downward spiral by joining the volunteer militia, but within a few short weeks finds herself under attack.After escaping with another volunteer, Katya spends weeks on the run before landing in a town under Nazi occupation. There, she finds a place and a purpose and learns to fight a different kind of war, repaying German brutality with a harsh justice of her own. All the while she struggles against her inner demons and dreams of reunion with her daughter and forgiveness from her husband - the one she betrayed.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Kellner Dénes író a „12 értelmetlen álom” című novelláskötet – és még sok más könyv - szerzője hosszú ideig polgári nevén publikált, de már évek óta David Kronberg álnéven bocsátja útjára műveit. Ma már irodalmi életművét építi. „Mindkét én vagyok” – mondja, amikor szóba kerül a két név közötti átjárás. A beszélgetés során feltárul, hogy novellái egyes darabjai akár húsz évvel ezelőtt születtek, és most érkeztek el oda, hogy könyvként összeálljanak. „Ezek a sztorik gyűltek, gyűltek, és egy idő után már könyv formájúak lettek.” Dénes az Irodalmi Rádió révén jutott el első irodalmi kötetének megjelenéséig. A közösségi visszajelzések, a felolvasások és az olvasói reakciók lettek számára az alkotói út legfontosabb megerősítései. „Amikor felolvassák emberek előtt a művedet és azok örülnek és tapsolnak, annál szebbet nem kaphatsz.”Legújabb verses kötete, A csillagok egyedül vannak már a szépirodalom felé való elköteleződés vitathatatlan lenyomata. Dénes számára az írás egyszerre öröm, felelősség és önazonosság. A műsorban őszintén beszél arról is, miért jelentett számára bátorságot a saját nevén publikálni, és mi adta meg végül az ehhez szükséges megerősítést.A Sláger FM-en minden este 22 órakor a kultúráé a főszerep S.

Adolescence isn't your typical TV drama. It's raw, immersive, and filmed in a single unbroken shot, forcing you to stay with every moment, no matter how uncomfortable.In this episode, we're pulling lessons from that intensity with the help of our guest, Charlie Ungashick, CMO of Vimeo.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from embracing creative risk, connecting across generations, and resisting the urge to over-polish. Because sometimes, the most powerful stories are the ones that feel the most human.About our guest, Charlie UngashickCharlie Ungashick joined Vimeo as CMO in 2024. He has over 20 years of experience leading marketing teams in tech companies. Before Vimeo, he was CMO and Head of Product at Applause, a leader in crowdsourced software testing. Charlie also advised Gem, a talent engagement platform, and held product, sales engineering, and IT roles at AIG, Novell, and SilverStream Software early in his career. He holds a bachelor's degree from Fordham University and a diploma in economics from the Université de Paris-Sorbonne.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Adolescence:Take risks that stretch you. In Adolescence, everything was a bet. A single-take format. A debut teenage actor. Emotionally loaded material. It had no business working—and yet it did. Charlie sees the same dynamic in great marketing. He explains, “Some of the best projects that we've all worked on are probably like that—they're risky and audacious.” In B2B, we often play it too safe. Big ideas get trimmed down before they even leave the doc. But safe rarely stands out. Sometimes, the smartest move is to back the idea that feels slightly unmakeable—and then go make it.Follow the signals across generations. Charlie and his daughters both watched Adolescence—but saw it through totally different lenses. That contrast sparked something powerful. Charlie says, “Adolescence was interesting because it had something for lots of different generations... it created that human element.” The best B2B content doesn't just target—it connects. Know where your audience is, how they consume, and what matters to them emotionally. Not every story has to hit everyone the same way. But the best ones open up space for conversation across the gap.Lead with authenticity, not polish. Adolescence wasn't glossy. It was real. That's what made it stick. Charlie challenges marketers to do the same: “We should all be comfortable in our B2B marketing by providing the same emotional authenticity that we find on TikTok and Netflix and Instagram.” B2B doesn't have to mean buttoned-up. Lo-fi can hit harder than high-budget. People buy from people, not buildings. The more human your marketing feels, the more likely it is to land.Quotes*“ Some of the things that I've been the most proud of are things that were super out of the box, almost unachievable when you sort of bring the idea to your team. Not all of them are achievable. Not all of them are inspiring, but some of the best ones happen. And so I typically love being visionary when it comes to doing big things that require big sort of game-changing execution. And when I looked at Adolescence, the combination of all the things that we talked about certainly has those elements.”*“ As a marketer, I always continuously look at demographics and psychographics and figure out how to elicit brain chemistry to ensure that people who I'm targeting are the ones that I want to connect with. I think the Adolescence was interesting because it had something for lots of different generations. And in fact, my daughters probably looked at it very differently than I did. And then when we compared notes in our conversations, it created that human element that we talked about earlier.”*“ B2B marketers, they don't buy from a b, they don't buy from a building, they buy from human beings. And I think our storytelling in our marketing can be much more authentic when we're thinking about the consumerization of the types of things that we do. So shorter form, more authentic, maybe even lo-fi. There's a time and a place for those kinds of things, and I think it can propel our results.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Charlie Ungashick, CMO at Vimeo[01:06] Why Adolescence?[03:19] The Role of CMO at Vimeo[06:20] AI and the Future of Video Creation at Vimeo[09:24] Origins of Adolescence[18:50] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Adolescence[47:36] Vimoe's Brand Strategy[49:59] Creating Authentic Content[53:13] Innovative Uses of AI in Video[54:20] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Charlie on LinkedInLearn more about VimeoAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Mán-Várhegyi Réka néha jobban, néha kevésbé összefüggő novellái eddig három kötetben jelentek meg: ezek a Boldogtalanság az Auróra-telepen, a Mágneshegy és a Vázlat valami máshoz – utóbbit a karanténirodalomról szóló összeállításunkban méltattuk. Az író hangja című, felolvasós podcastsorozatunkba most egy olyan novellát hozott, amely eddig csak folyóiratban jelent meg, és a Felkészülés egy regényre #4 címet viseli. Korábbi részek: „Mióta elkezdtem a gimit, kitört egy világjárvány és két háború” – Molnár T.

A Pagony tavaly adott ki egy antológiát Hangulatjelentés címmel, amelybe kortárs szerzők írtak „az elmúlt húsz évről, és arról, milyen ma Magyarországon felnőni”. Ide készült Molnár T. Eszter novellája, a Tesztrepülés is, amely a szerző hamarosan megjelenő novelláskötetében is benne lesz – itt viszont már nyilván nem ifjúsági irodalomként.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When it comes to cybersecurity, most people think about firewalls, passwords, and antivirus software. But what about the attackers themselves? Understanding how they operate is just as important as having the right defenses in place. That's where Paul Reid comes in. As the Vice President of Adversary Research at AttackIQ, Paul and his team work to stay one step ahead of cybercriminals by thinking like them and identifying vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.   In this episode, we dive into the world of cyber threats, ransomware, and the business of hacking. Paul shares insights from his 25+ years in cybersecurity, including his experience tracking nation-state attackers, analyzing ransomware-as-a-service, and why cybercrime has become such a highly organized industry. We also talk about what businesses and individuals can do to protect themselves, from understanding threat intelligence to why testing your backups might save you from disaster. Whether you're in cybersecurity or just trying to keep your data safe, this conversation is packed with insights you won't want to miss. Show Notes: [00:58] Paul is the VP of Adversary Research at AttackIQ.  [01:30] His team wants to help their customers be more secure. [01:52] Paul has been in cybersecurity for 25 years. He began working in Novell Networks and then moved to directory services with Novell and Microsoft, Active Directory, LDAP, and more.  [02:32] He also helped design classification systems and then worked for a startup. He also ran a worldwide threat hunting team. Paul has an extensive background in networks and cybersecurity.  [03:49] Paul was drawn to AttackIQ because they do breach attack simulation. [04:22] His original goal was actually to be a banker. Then he went back to his original passion, computer science. [06:05] We learn Paul's story of being a victim of ransomware or a scam. A company he was working for almost fell for a money transfer scam. [09:12] If something seems off, definitely question it. [10:17] Ransomware is an economically driven cybercrime. Attackers try to get in through social engineering, brute force attack, password spraying, or whatever means possible. [11:13] Once they get in, they find whatever is of value and encrypt it or do something else to extort money from you. [12:14] Ransomware as a service (RaaS) has brought ransomware to the masses. [13:49] We discuss some ethics in these criminal organizations. Honest thieves? [16:24] Threats look a lot more real when you see that they have your information. [17:12] Paul shares a phishing scam story with just enough information to make the potential victim click on it.  [18:01] There was a takedown of LockBit in 2020, but they had a resurgence. It's a decentralized ransomware as a service model that allows affiliates to keep on earning, even if the main ones go down. [20:14] Many of the affiliates are smash and grab, the nation states are a little more patient.  [21:11] Attackers are branching out into other areas and increasing their attack service, targeting Linux and macOS. [22:17] The resiliency of the ransomware as a service setup and how they've distributed the risk across multiple affiliates. [23:42] There's an ever growing attack service and things are getting bigger. [25:06] AttackIQ is able to run emulations in a production environment. [26:20] Having the ability to continuously test and find new areas really makes networks more cyber resilient. [29:55] We talk about whether to pay ransoms and how to navigate these situations.  [31:05] The best solution is to do due diligence, updates, patches, and separate backups from the system.  [35:19] Dealing with ransomware is a no win situation. Everyone is different. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Guest Name: Dan Adams  LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielericadams/ Company: https://up-skill.com Hosts Brian Doyle: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briandoylemetathinq/ Dan Adams brings a wealth of experience to the table with a seasoned career in information technology that stretches back to his days on the initial team integrating Macintoshes onto PC networks. From his early involvement with software company Novell, Dan has seen the IT industry evolve significantly. Today, he proudly holds two pivotal roles: as the CEO of Upskill Consulting, where he's committed to enhancing career progression and success for IT professionals, and as Chairman of NENS, a thriving managed services provider. His remarkable journey through IT demonstrates a track record of leadership, innovation, and dedication to the industry. Episode Summary: In this enlightening session of MSP Business School, host Brian Doyle welcomes back Dan Adams, a returning guest and now a "friend of the show," who has provided Brian and his team invaluable insights on numerous occasions. This episode delves into the nuanced terrains of MSP branding, team building, and the evolution of customer expectations in the IT space; a sector where Dan has decades of impactful contributions. The dialogue begins with a dive into market differentiation, as Dan reflects on the shift from vendor certifications toward more substantive brand distinctions based on process transparency and service delivery. He emphasizes the importance of showing customers a roadmap for success, rather than solely relying on technical accreditation to instill confidence. Moreover, the conversation flows into the strategic importance of setting and exceeding client expectations. Dan advises that understanding the client's definition of success is essential for any MSP aiming to become a true trusted advisor. The episode concludes with rich discussions on the maturity of MSP businesses and the powerful role of systematized processes in both client engagement and operational consistency. Key Takeaways: Vendors' certifications are no longer the key differentiator in the MSP market; instead, clearly defined processes and the customer success roadmap play a more significant role. Successful MSPs must align their service delivery with the client's expectations of success to achieve trusted advisor status. Experience and a proven track record in delivering IT services contribute greatly to establishing credibility and fostering trust. Fostering transparency and showing the methodology behind services not only instills confidence but also sets up a collaborative relationship with clients. The maturation of an MSP i

Welcome back to our podcast series! In this episode, we're delving into the realm of technology certifications, building upon our previous discussion on the deep versus wide skill set dilemma. Certifications have long been a hallmark in the tech industry, offering professionals a tangible validation of their expertise. However, their significance and value have evolved over time, shaping the landscape of technological proficiency. Understanding the Evolution of Technology Certifications We start by tracing the trajectory of certifications, from the early days of Novell to the ubiquitous presence of Microsoft and Java certifications. Each era brought forth its own set of coveted certifications, reflecting the dominant technologies of the time. Today, these span many languages and platforms, with some, like those in the security and project management realms, being almost mandatory. Navigating the Technology Certification Landscape Our discussion highlights the nuanced role of certifications in different career paths within technology. While some sectors demand specific ones as prerequisites, others offer more flexibility. We emphasize the importance of aligning certification pursuits with individual career goals and interests, cautioning against pursuing them solely for title enhancement. The Value of Application and Practical Learning Certifications serve as valuable entry points into new technologies, providing a structured framework for learning. However, we underscore the significance of practical application alongside certification acquisition. Merely obtaining these certs without actively applying the knowledge gained can lead to skill deterioration and render the certificate obsolete. Strategies for Maximizing the Impact of Your Technology Certificates We delve into practical strategies for effectively leveraging certifications. Emphasizing the "use it or lose it" principle, we advocate for ongoing application and reinforcement of certified skills. Moreover, we explore the benefits of aligning certification pursuits with job roles and organizational objectives, thereby ensuring relevance and career advancement. In conclusion, technology certifications are invaluable tools for skill validation and career advancement. However, their true value lies not in the credentials themselves but in the practical application of acquired knowledge. By strategically selecting certifications aligned with career aspirations and actively applying learned skills, professionals can maximize the impact of certifications and chart a path toward sustained growth and success in the dynamic tech industry.

WENDY GROUNDS:  Welcome, fellow project champions, to Manage This! I'm Wendy Grounds, and joining me in the harmonious studio adventure today is Bill Yates, and Danny Brewer, our sound guy. Hold onto your project plans, because today we're diving headfirst into a fusion of beats and business. You heard it right – jazz and project management are about to collide in a symphony of ideas with a trailblazing maestro of maximizing potential, Gerald J. Leonard. Gerald is an IT project management consultant; but he also has two degrees in music and is an accomplished bass guitarist.  As a professional bassist, he uses jazz metaphors to illustrate how to build supportive and effective team cultures. Creating successful projects and high-performing teams is much like building a jazz ensemble. This isn't your average podcast – it's a symphony of ideas, where project management meets the jazzed-up art of success. So, buckle up, hit play, and let the show begin! Hi, Gerald.  Welcome to Manage This.  Thank you so much for being our guest. GERALD LEONARD:  Wendy and Bill, thank you so much for having me.  I'm really happy to be here. Combining Jazz and Project Management WENDY GROUNDS:  Can you tell us, just as an introduction, how you've combined your dual careers as a professional jazz musician and as a project management consultant? GERALD LEONARD:  Yes. I had done my bachelor's and master's in music, studied through the Manhattan School of Music with a gentleman at Juilliard, and played professionally in the city.  And then I did some ministry work back in the ‘80s, ‘90s, and I wanted to get back into music, but now I was married with two kids. I was kind of done with clubs and those kinds of things and thought, “Okay, so how can I keep playing and also make a good living and raise my kids?” So I got into IT at a time where, if you could spell IT, they were letting you in.  And so I got in.  You know, and I had my master's already, so I thought, “I'm not going to go back to school for another degree.”  And then I realized they had all these certifications out there, the Novell certifications, the Microsoft certifications, the MCSE certifications, and all these different things like that.  So I just started going that route.  That led me to a place where for years I was doing project work, became a project management consultant with a number of different companies, did work for the National Archives and major corporations, helping them at the enterprise level.  And then I would go and play shows,

I saw a comic from Kendra Little recently, which reminded me of my first SQL Server crisis. I got hired as a contractor to support a large Novell network. In my first chance to work with SQL Server, a new database server running SQL Server 4.2 on OS/2 1.2 was installed on our network to support a new data entry application. This was mandated by a government legal change on Jan 1. As the junior person, I was supporting the installation by corporate developers on Dec 31 at 5 p.m. We finished getting things set up, ate dinner, and then I watched the developers do some smoke testing and prepping the application and database servers for go-live at midnight. It was exciting to me as a young professional to be part of this deployment. Read the rest of Don't (Always) Be a Hero

In this episode, Host Kirk and Zip are joined by Charlie Novell as a special guest. Charlie holds the distinction of possibly being Street Metal Concepts' very first customer, and he has been a steadfast supporter of SMC since its inception. During the conversation, Charlie delves into the myriad projects he has collaborated on with SMC over the years. His list of cars is as diverse as it is impressive, ranging from exotics like the Ferrari 485 and Audi R8 to iconic muscle cars like his pair of Chevelles. In a testament to his automotive enthusiasm, Charlie even boasts a rather unique addition to his collection: a motorcycle-powered Mini, demonstrating his love for the truly remarkable. He also shares insights into his unique approach to car collecting, treating it as a business practice by constantly improving the vehicles he acquires and ensuring they leave his possession in better condition than when he acquired them. Charlie reflects on the individual who ignited his passion for automobiles, and the episode pays tribute to his enduring commitment to SMC. His early support laid a sturdy foundation upon which SMC has thrived today.

Nelumbo nucifera, or the sacred lotus, is a plant that grows in flood plains, rivers, and deltas. Their seeds can remain dormant for years and when floods come along, blossom into a colony of plants and flowers. Some of the oldest seeds can be found in China, where they're known to represent longevity. No surprise, given their level of nitrition and connection to the waters that irrigated crops by then. They also grow in far away lands, all the way to India and out to Australia. The flower is sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism, and further back in ancient Egypt. Padmasana is a Sanskrit term meaning lotus, or Padma, and Asana, or posture. The Pashupati seal from the Indus Valley civilization shows a diety in what's widely considered the first documented yoga pose, from around 2,500 BCE. 2,700 years later (give or take a century), the Hindu author and mystic Patanjali wrote a work referred to as the Yoga Sutras. Here he outlined the original asanas, or sitting yoga poses. The Rig Veda, from around 1,500 BCE, is the oldest currently known Vedic text. It is also the first to use the word “yoga”. It describes songs, rituals, and mantras the Brahmans of the day used - as well as the Padma. Further Vedic texts explore how the lotus grew out of Lord Vishnu with Brahma in the center. He created the Universe out of lotus petals. Lakshmi went on to grow out of a lotus from Vishnu as well. It was only natural that humans would attempt to align their own meditation practices with the beautiful meditatios of the lotus. By the 300s, art and coins showed people in the lotus position. It was described in texts that survive from the 8th century. Over the centuries contradictions in texts were clarified in a period known as Classical Yoga, then Tantra and and Hatha Yoga were developed and codified in the Post-Classical Yoga age, and as empires grew and India became a part of the British empire, Yoga began to travel to the west in the late 1800s. By 1893, Swami Vivekananda gave lectures at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago.  More practicioners meant more systems of yoga. Yogendra brought asanas to the United States in 1919, as more Indians migrated to the United States. Babaji's kriya yoga arrived in Boston in 1920. Then, as we've discussed in previous episodes, the United States tightened immigration in the 1920s and people had to go to India to get more training. Theos Bernard's Hatha Yoga: The Report of a Personal Experience brought some of that knowledge home when he came back in 1947. Indra Devi opened a yoga studio in Hollywood and wrote books for housewives. She brought a whole system, or branch home. Walt and Magana Baptiste opened a studio in San Francisco. Swamis began to come to the US and more schools were opened. Richard Hittleman began to teach yoga in New York and began to teach on television in 1961. He was one of the first to seperate the religious aspect from the health benefits. By 1965, the immigration quotas were removed and a wave of teachers came to the US to teach yoga. The Beatles went to India in 1966 and 1968, and for many Transcendental Meditation took root, which has now grown to over a thousand training centers and over 40,000 teachers. Swamis opened meditation centers, institutes, started magazines, and even magazines. Yoga became so big that Rupert Holmes even poked fun of it in his song “Escape (The Piña Colada Song)” in 1979. Yoga had become part of the counter-culture, and the generation that followed represented a backlash of sorts. A common theme of the rise of personal computers is that the early pioneers were a part of that counter-culture. Mitch Kapor graduated high school in 1967, just in time to be one of the best examples of that. Kapor built his own calculator in as a kid before going to camp to get his first exposure to programming on a Bendix. His high school got one of the 1620 IBM minicomputers and he got the bug. He went off to Yale at 16 and learned to program in APL and then found Computer Lib by Ted Nelson and learned BASIC. Then he discovered the Apple II.  Kapor did some programming for $5 per hour as a consultant, started the first east coast Apple User Group, and did some work around town. There are generations of people who did and do this kind of consulting, although now the rates are far higher. He met a grad student through the user group named Eric Rosenfeld who was working on his dissertation and needed some help programming, so Kapor wrote a little tool that took the idea of statistical analysis from the Time Shared Reactive Online Library, or TROLL, and ported it to the microcomputer, which he called Tiny Troll.  Then he enrolled in the MBA program at MIT. He got a chance to see VisiCalc and meet Bob Frankston and Dan Bricklin, who introduced him to the team at Personal Software. Personal Software was founded by Dan Fylstra and Peter Jennings when they published Microchips for the KIM-1 computer. That led to ports for the 1977 Trinity of the Commodore PET, Apple II, and TRS-80 and by then they had taken Bricklin and Franston's VisiCalc to market. VisiCalc was the killer app for those early PCs and helped make the Apple II successful. Personal Software brought Kapor on, as well as Bill Coleman of BEA Systems and Electronic Arts cofounder Rich Mellon. Today, software developers get around 70 percent royalties to publish software on app stores but at the time, fees were closer to 8 percent, a model pulled from book royalties. Much of the rest went to production of the box and disks, the sales and marketing, and support. Kapor was to write a product that could work with VisiCalc. By then Rosenfeld was off to the world of corporate finance so Kapor moved to Silicon Valley, learned how to run a startup, moved back east in 1979, and released VisiPlot and VisiTrend in 1981. He made over half a million dollars in the first six months in royalties.  By then, he bought out Rosenfeld's shares in what he was doing, hired Jonathan Sachs, who had been at MIT earlier, where he wrote the STOIC programming language, and then went to work at Data General. Sachs worked on spreadsheet ideas at Data General with a manager there, John Henderson, but after they left Data General, and the partnership fell apart, he worked with Kapor instead. They knew that for software to be fast, it needed to be written in a lower level language, so they picked the Intel 8088 assembly language given that C wasn't fast enough yet. The IBM PC came in 1981 and everything changed. Mitch Kapor and Jonathan Sachs started Lotus in 1982. Sachs got to work on what would become Lotus 1-2-3. Kapor turned out to be a great marketer and product manager. He listened to what customers said in focus groups. He pushed to make things simpler and use less jargon. They released a new spreadsheet tool in 1983 and it worked flawlessly on the IBM PC and while Microsoft had Multiplan and VisCalc was the incumbent spreadsheet program, Lotus quickly took market share from then and SuperCalc. Conceptually it looked similar to VisiCalc. They used the letter A for the first column, B for the second, etc. That has now become a standard in spreadsheets. They used the number 1 for the first row, the number 2 for the second. That too is now a standard. They added a split screen, also now a standard. They added macros, with branching if-then logic. They added different video modes, which could give color and bitmapping. They added an underlined letter so users could pull up a menu and quickly select the item they wanted once they had those orders memorized, now a standard in most menuing systems. They added the ability to add bar charts, pie charts, and line charts. One could even spread their sheet across multiple monitors like in a magazine. They refined how fields are calculated and took advantage of the larger amounts of memory to make Lotus far faster than anything else on the market. They went to Comdex towards the end of the year and introduced Lotus 1-2-3 to the world. The software could be used as a spreadsheet, but the 2 and 3 referred to graphics and database management. They did $900,000 in orders there before they went home. They couldn't even keep up with the duplication of disks. Comdex was still invitation only. It became so popular that it was used to test for IBM compatibility by clone makers and where VisiCalc became the app that helped propel the Apple II to success, Lotus 1-2-3 became the app that helped propel the IBM PC to success. Lotus was rewarded with $53 million in sales for 1983 and $156 million in 1984. Mitch Kapor found himself. They quickly scaled from less than 20 to 750 employees. They brought in Freada Klein who got her PhD to be the Head of Employee Relations and charged her with making them the most progressive employer around. After her success at Lotus, she left to start her own company and later married. Sachs left the company in 1985 and moved on to focus solely on graphics software. He still responds to requests on the phpBB forum at dl-c.com. They ran TV commercials. They released a suite of Mac apps they called Lotus Jazz. More television commercials. Jazz didn't go anywhere and only sold 20,000 copies. Meanwhile, Microsoft released Excel for the Mac, which sold ten times as many. Some blamed the lack os sales on the stringent copy protection. Others blamed the lack of memory to do cool stuff. Others blamed the high price. It was the first major setback for the young company.  After a meteoric rise, Kapor left the company in 1986, at about the height of their success. He  replaced himself with Jim Manzi. Manzi pushed the company into network applications. These would become the center of the market but were just catching on and didn't prove to be a profitable venture just yet. A defensive posture rather than expanding into an adjacent market would have made sense, at least if anyone knew how aggressive Microsoft was about to get it would have.  Manzi was far more concerned about the millions of illegal copies of the software in the market than innovation though. As we turned the page to the 1990s, Lotus had moved to a product built in C and introduced the ability to use graphical components in the software but not wouldn't be ported to the new Windows operating system until 1991 for Windows 3. By then there were plenty of competitors, including Quattro Pro and while Microsoft Excel began on the Mac, it had been a showcase of cool new features a windowing operating system could provide an application since released for Windows in 1987. Especially what they called 3d charts and tabbed spreadsheets. There was no catching up to Microsoft by then and sales steadily declined. By then, Lotus released Lotus Agenda, an information manager that could be used for time management, project management, and as a database. Kapor was a great product manager so it stands to reason he would build a great product to manage products. Agenda never found commercial success though, so was later open sourced under a GPL license. Bill Gross wrote Magellan there before he left to found GoTo.com, which was renamed to Overture and pioneered the idea of paid search advertising, which was acquired by Yahoo!. Magellan cataloged the internal drive and so became a search engine for that. It sold half a million copies and should have been profitable but was cancelled in 1990. They also released a word processor called Manuscript in 1986, which never gained traction and that was cancelled in 1989, just when a suite of office automation apps needed to be more cohesive.  Ray Ozzie had been hired at Software Arts to work on VisiCalc and then helped Lotus get Symphony out the door. Symphony shipped in 1984 and expanded from a spreadsheet to add on text with the DOC word processor, and charts with the GRAPH graphics program, FORM for a table management solution, and COM for communications. Ozzie dutifully shipped what he was hired to work on but had a deal that he could build a company when they were done that would design software that Lotus would then sell. A match made in heaven as Ozzie worked on PLATO and borrowed the ideas of PLATO Notes, a collaboration tool developed at the University of Illinois Champagne-Urbana  to build what he called Lotus Notes.  PLATO was more more than productivity. It was a community that spanned decades and Control Data Corporation had failed to take it to the mass corporate market. Ozzie took the best parts for a company and built it in isolation from the rest of Lotus. They finally released it as Lotus Notes in 1989. It was a huge success and Lotus bought Iris in 1994. Yet they never found commercial success with other socket-based client server programs and IBM acquired Lotus in 1995. That product is now known as Domino, the name of the Notes 4 server, released in 1996. Ozzie went on to build a company called Groove Networks, which was acquired by Microsoft, who appointed him one of their Chief Technology Officers. When Bill Gates left Microsoft, Ozzie took the position of Chief Software Architect he vacated. He and Dave Cutler went on to work on a project called Red Dog, which evolved into what we now know as Microsoft Azure.  Few would have guessed that Ozzie and Kapor's handshake agreement on Notes could have become a real product. Not only could people not understand the concept of collaboration and productivity on a network in the late 1980s but the type of deal hadn't been done. But Kapor by then realized that larger companies had a hard time shipping net-new software properly. Sometimes those projects are best done in isolation. And all the better if the parties involved are financially motivated with shares like Kapor wanted in Personal Software in the 1970s before he wrote Lotus 1-2-3. VisiCalc had sold about a million copies but that would cease production the same year Excel was released. Lotus hung on longer than most who competed with Microsoft on any beachhead they blitzkrieged. Microsoft released Exchange Server in 1996 and Notes had a few good years before Exchange moved in to become the standard in that market. Excel began on the Mac but took the market from Lotus eventually, after Charles Simonyi stepped in to help make the product great.  Along the way, the Lotus ecosystem created other companies, just as they were born in the Visi ecosystem. Symantec became what we now call a “portfolio” company in 1985 when they introduced NoteIt, a natural language processing tool used to annotate docs in Lotus 1-2-3. But Bill Gates mentioned Lotus by name multiple times as a competitor in his Internet Tidal Wave memo in 1995. He mentioned specific features, like how they could do secure internet browsing and that they had a web publisher tool - Microsoft's own FrontPage was released in 1995 as well. He mentioned an internet directory project with Novell and AT&T. Active Directory was released a few years later in 1999, after Jim Allchin had come in to help shepherd LAN Manager. Notes itself survived into the modern era, but by 2004 Blackberry released their Exchange connector before they released the Lotus Domino connector. That's never a good sign. Some of the history of Lotus is covered in Scott Rosenberg's 2008 book, Dreaming in Code. Others are documented here and there in other places. Still others are lost to time. Kapor went on to invest in UUNET, which became a huge early internet service provider. He invested in Real Networks, who launched the first streaming media service on the Internet. He invested in the creators of Second Life. He never seemed vindictive with Microsoft but after AOL acquired Netscape and Microsoft won the first browser war, he became the founding chair of the Mozilla Foundation and so helped bring Firefox to market. By 2006, Firefox took 10 percent of the market and went on to be a dominant force in browsers. Kapor has also sat on boards and acted as an angel investor for startups ever since leaving the company he founded. He also flew to Wyoming in 1990 after he read a post on The WELL from John Perry Barlow. Barlow was one of the great thinkers of the early Internet. They worked with Sun Microsystems and GNU Debugging Cypherpunk John Gilmore to found the Electronic Frontier Foundation, or EFF. The EFF has since been the nonprofit who leads the fight for “digital privacy, free speech, and innovation.” So not everything is about business.
