Podcasts about OCR

Ever wish you could get expert HIPAA advice straight from the source – without the invoice? This episode digs into a little-known offering: the "free consulting" that the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) actually gives out, if you know where to look. We break down the seven biggest lessons buried in official OCR videos and settlement guidance, covering everything from keeping tabs on your inventory (yes, all your data – even the digital version of an old truck growing weeds) to why risk management means more than doing paperwork once a year. If you're in healthcare and want practical tips to avoid trouble before it makes the headlines, this episode's for you. More info at HelpMeWithHIPAA.com/566

Ever triggered a hidden Mac feature by accident? This week you’ll find out why a stray backtick fires up the Magnifier in macOS Preview, and how a single screenshot plus built-in OCR can lift text straight out of an image (even if that Wi-Fi password still refuses to cooperate). You’ll grab the trick for sharing your network as a scannable QR code from the Passwords app, learn why YouTube TV blocks video over screen sharing in Chrome while Safari sidesteps it, and untangle guest-mode quirks on Apple Vision Pro. From Touch ID suddenly demanding your password to a backup SSD that swears it’s still In Use, you’ll walk away with the Terminal commands and fixes to set things right. Then you’ll map your next move off a MacBook Air, weighing an M4 Mac mini against an iMac and stalking the refurb store for the right deal. You’ll set HomeKit lights to fade in with sunrise, audit your Tailscale network for sloppy permissions, breathe easier with a tested air purifier, and give that retired iPad a whole second life. And when something mysteriously stops working, Don’t Get Caught burning two hours blaming software for what turns out to be a cable you quietly swapped out: check your cables first. Hit play, load up on tips, and head into your week a little geekier. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1147 for Monday, June 22nd, 2026 00:03:35 June 22nd: National Onion Ring Day MGG Monthly Giveaway – Win a license to SaneBox Quick Tips 00:00:01 Susan-QT-macOS Preview has a magnifier in Tools > Show Magnifier 00:03:53 Use the backtick to invoke Magnifier in Preview 00:06:15 Dave-QT-Take a picture or screenshot to OCR text within an image 00:11:32 YouTube TV doesn't allow video when the screen is being shared…in Chrome …But Safari might let it (it certainly does with Fubo) 00:13:29 Screen Mirroring vs. Apple Vision Pro 00:15:21 QT-KiwiGraham-Passwords app allows you to show a QR code of current wifi network 00:17:31 Bill-1146-Why not use the Apple TV app’s download abilities?

A few different balls are up in the air across the central banking world, and change is afoot. Recent declines in oil prices have seen the odds of OCR hikes change, while the Federal Reserve in the US has entered a new era with Kevin Warsh as Chair. We'll get a useful sense check in a fortnight from the Reserve Bank, while the evolution of the Fed will be a longer-term theme to monitor.

Kris Rugloski's route into HYROX is anything but conventional.A former obstacle course racer and ultra-runner, Kris first entered HYROX simply because it looked like something she'd enjoy. Just a few years later, after qualifying for the World Championships on a roll-down, she shocked the field by winning the 2022 HYROX World Championship.In this episode, Kris shares her journey from OCR to HYROX World Champion, why she still spends her summers running ultras in the mountains, and how she balances elite competition with a life far bigger than sport.We dive into the mindset that has shaped her approach to training and racing, the lessons she's learned through injury and adversity, and why gratitude, perspective and being capable for life matter more than results.This is a conversation about resilience, purpose, adventure and finding joy in the process.Whether you're training for your first HYROX, chasing a PB, or simply trying to become a stronger version of yourself, there's something in this episode for everyone.Follow Kris over on instagram : @krisrugloskiIf you enjoyed this episode please consider following the show and leaving a review, it helps us reach more people and speak to more incredible guests!  Find us @weareatalanta and remember to tag us when you listen!

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Lawyers need an AI strategy and policy first. Before adopting any tools, firms must have a written AI policy, even if it simply says no tools are approved yet. Without one, a staff member using an unapproved (non-enterprise) AI tool can cause an ethical breach if client data ends up in model training.* Stick to two AI tools, not a dozen. Jennifer recommends picking one AI within your existing workspace (Copilot if on Microsoft, Gemini if on Google) plus one secondary tool for drafting or checking work. Chasing every new model is counterproductive. Depth beats breadth.* Document infrastructure is the real foundation. Before AI can be useful, a firm's documents need to be organized, accessible, and OCR'd where necessary. Getting documents into a state where an AI can actually “talk” to them is the unglamorous but critical first step.* Claude (especially via Claude Code/Cowork) is the top recommendation for legal writing. For transactional work requiring a long context window, Jennifer sees Claude as unmatched. She's actively installing Claude's Cowork integration for clients, who are amazed at its ability to handle contract redlines directly in their workflow.* AI increases productivity but also workload. Jennifer invokes Jevons' Paradox: AI tools make lawyers faster, but that extra time tends to get filled with more work. The real win is choosing intentionally: take on more clients, deepen client relationships, or bill at a higher rate, rather than just working more hours.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Seguro que si eres de los míos, de los que disfrutan pasando el rato en la terminal o montando servicios en casa, te habrás dado cuenta de que acabamos haciendo tareas repetitivas casi sin querer. Para poner fin a este caos cotidiano te traigo una herramienta espectacular que se llama Just. Pero la verdadera razón por la que he querido dedicarle este pódcast a Just de nuevo es por una experiencia divertidísima que he tenido estos últimos días con mi asistente de inteligencia artificial local, al que cariñosamente llamo Hermes. Yo soy una persona bastante perezosa para ciertas tareas repetitivas y me gusta poner a trabajar a las máquinas por mí. Normalmente, al acabar mis entrenamientos de carrera, le dicto un audio a Hermes detallando la distancia, las pulsaciones y el ritmo para que él los registre. Pero el otro día, llevado por la vaguería máxima, decidí simplemente hacer una captura de pantalla de la aplicación del móvil y enviársela por Telegram.Hermes, que es una maravilla de asistente, aplicó un sistema de lectura de imágenes (OCR) llamado Tesseract, extrajo todos los datos de mi carrera y los guardó en un periquete. Yo me quedé encantado y pensé que la vida ya estaba resuelta. Sin embargo, al día siguiente repetí el proceso y... ¡sorpresa! Hermes se había olvidado por completo de cómo lo había hecho. Me preguntó qué quería que hiciese con la imagen y, cuando le recordé lo del día anterior, me soltó que no tenía la herramienta de lectura instalada en su entorno de trabajo. Tuve que guiarle de nuevo de la mano paso a paso.Ahí fue donde se me encendió la bombilla. Las inteligencias artificiales a veces se despistan y tienen una memoria muy volátil para los flujos de trabajo técnicos. La mejor forma de darles estabilidad es crearles un recetario claro, un archivo "justfile" donde tengan todas sus habilidades documentadas y listas para ejecutar con un simple comando. Así, Hermes nunca más olvidará cómo procesar una imagen o cómo gestionar un contenedor, porque solo tiene que invocar la receta correspondiente.En este episodio quiero animarte a que pruebes Just en tu propio día a día, uses o no inteligencia artificial.

I sat down with Paul Wittich, General Manager APAC at Dext, to explore how the platform is evolving beyond document capture into a fully automated bookkeeping workflow. We discuss AI Assist, payments, underused features, pricing transparency and what 2026 looks like for the profession.   Paul's career journey from management accountant to APAC leader at Dext Dext's evolution from OCR tool to end-to-end bookkeeping automation platform AI Assist and how it learns user behaviour to reduce repetitive work Underused features: Vault, supplier statements, supplier rules and practice insights Pricing transparency, ecosystem competition and what is coming next in 2026   The profession is shifting rapidly. As AI accelerates change, the firms that embrace automation thoughtfully and strategically will be best positioned to move beyond compliance and into higher-value advisory services.     Episode resources and links: https://dext.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulwittich/   If this episode helped you, the best way to support the show is to leave a review somewhere as it helps more people find us.

Při svém třetím startu v PRO kategorii zaběhl 55:37 a dočasně se stal nejlepším Čechem v historii závodu. Ale tahle epizoda není jen o HYROXu.

In this episode, I get to speak with Liz Heddleston and Leah Stiegler of Woods Rogers about a healthcare compliance issue that many organizations may be underestimating: the HIPAA risks created by modern marketing practices.Healthcare providers increasingly rely on social media, patient testimonials, online success stories, influencers, user-generated content, and even AI-assisted marketing tools to build visibility and connect with patients. But as recent enforcement activity demonstrates, these efforts can create significant HIPAA exposure when protected health information is disclosed without proper authorization.Our conversation uses the recent OCR enforcement action involving Cadia Healthcare Facilities as a starting point. OCR alleged that patient names, photographs, and treatment information were publicly shared through online success stories without valid written HIPAA authorizations. The resulting settlement serves as a reminder that positive intent, patient enthusiasm, and informal consent do not eliminate HIPAA obligations.Liz and Leah help unpack what went wrong in the Cadia matter and explain why healthcare organizations should be paying close attention. We discuss:Common misconceptions about de-identificationThe growing risks associated with social media and AI-generated contentThe compliance challenges created by marketing vendors, agencies, and influencersWhere OCR enforcement may be headed nextOne of the key themes throughout the discussion is that HIPAA compliance is no longer just an IT or cybersecurity issue. As healthcare organizations expand their digital presence, privacy compliance must become part of the content creation and marketing process itself.Whether you're a healthcare executive, compliance officer, in-house counsel, privacy professional, marketer, or outside advisor, this conversation offers practical guidance on navigating the intersection of healthcare privacy, digital marketing, and regulatory risk.Jump in to hear Liz and Leah's insights on HIPAA compliance, healthcare marketing, and the emerging risks organizations should be addressing before an enforcement action brings them into focus.______________________________________Thanks for listening! If you like what you hear please give us a rating.

Alan and Ian are back behind the mic with a packed episode that hops from European travel chaos to OCR race drama and everything in between. They kick things off with tales from Montenegro, including Alan's encounter with siren‑blaring paramedics on electric bikes at the One Run race. From there, it's a deep dive into Eurochamps and obstacle designs, comparing Spain's grip‑heavy rigs to the UK's fast‑flowing courses — all while sipping Swedish cider and fermented apple juice. The pair stay with the Euro Championships, dissecting safety lessons from a rope‑snap incident, before spotlighting standout performances from the UK Athetes, whose rig skills continue to dominate the UK OCR scene. They also chat job openings at Wild Forest, Tough Mudder, and Spartan, crunching the numbers on volunteer pay versus perks, and unpack the latest contender status confusion ahead of WTM 2026 — including Alan's pit plans with Little Big Scotland and a mysterious  puzzle reveal. Finally, they tackle Deadly Dozen's crowdfunding push, Hyrox's luxury cruise, and a few eyebrow‑raising stories from the running world — from charity hikers booed on Snowdon to marathon break‑up signs in Traverse City. It's classic Swift Half: travel tales, race talk, and plenty of laughs over a pint (or a cider).   Watch this episode live on Youtube at UKOCR TV https://www.youtube.com/@UKOCR  If you have any questions about the show or would like to explore advertising opportunities, feel free to reach out to us at admin@ukocr.com.

Higher mortgage rates have given the Reserve Bank a 'bit of breathing space', its chief economist says. Paul Conway, one of the Reserve Bank committee members who voted to keep the OCR on hold last week, said the market is doing some of the work for the central bank.

Send us a question/idea/opinion direct via text message!The tide has officially turned for mortgage interest rates. Following the Reserve Bank's razor-edge split decision to hold the OCR last week, borrowers are hitting a major structural shift. An estimated 40% of all New Zealand mortgage debt is exposed to repricing in the next six months alone - shifting from a mindset of two years of falling rates straight into a rising rate wall.This week, Nick Goodall and Kelvin Davidson analyse the macroeconomic consequences of this lag in monetary policy. We break down the newly updated Cotality Sales Volume Forecast Model, which officially strips 10,000 transactions out of our original 2026 projections.Plus, we dissect the internal vs. external board divide at the RBNZ, unpack the Government's council "consent bonus" budget initiative, and preview Thursday's upcoming May Home Value Index (HVI) results.This week we discuss:The Repricing Shock: Why 31% of fixed debt and 10% of floating debt are running directly into higher rates over the next six months.The 2-Year Fix Pivot: Why the mathematical reality of moving from a short-term fix to a 2-year runway means a 0.3% to 0.4% immediate lift in debt-servicing costs.Slashing the 2026 Model: Recalibrating the official housing metrics down to a flat 90,000 transaction ceiling for this year, with a potential slide below 90k in 2027.The Internal vs. External Divide: Analysing Cam Bagrie's take on why external MPC members are voting for rate hikes while internal RBNZ staff cling to optimistic GDP models.April Mortgage Lending Slowdown: Dissecting the $8 billion lending block and why bank switching and aggressive cashback windows are shutting.Council "Consent Bonuses": Reviewing the Government's infrastructure financial incentives for councils hitting high density targets.Sign up for news and insights or contact on LinkedIn, X @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL and email ngoodall@cotality.com or kdavidson@cotality.comThis podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice.

This week's budget announcement had a focus on sorting out the books, and no straight sugar hits for individuals.Infrastructure, healthcare and education seemed to be the clear priority of our fiscal plan, but three relief for the cost-of-living pressure many face. Along with that, council rates have gone up for Auckland and the South Island's West Coast, and the Reserve Bank's signalled that there will be an increase to the OCR shortly - so the period we've seen of low interest rates on a mortgage is coming to an end. So how can we prepare ourselves for a toughening economy? Was it good that we didn't have any government handouts?

Rates are going up again, more than 7% in Auckland, buyers are cautious, the OCR will not be dropping anytime soon, and the market remains soft. In such a volatile market, those selling a home need to be careful that their property has value, and any changes actually add value if they have any hopes of real estate success.

The New Zealand Reserve Bank Monetary Policy Committee voted to hold the OCR at 2.25 percent. Interestingly the decision was a split vote between holding and hiking.

Navigating AI for Second Mortgages: Avoiding Delays and FrustrationThe promise of Artificial Intelligence in the mortgage industry is exciting: faster processing, greater efficiency, and a smoother experience. For second mortgages, in particular, many hope AI will cut down on the traditional paperwork and waiting times. However, as with any emerging technology, there's a learning curve, and sometimes, the very tools designed to speed things up can introduce unexpected bottlenecks. When using AI for your second mortgage application, specificity is paramount. If you're not crystal clear about details like the exact title of your property or if your uploaded copies of crucial documents, such as your driver's license and bank statements, aren't perfectly legible, what could have been a swift process can quickly spiral into weeks of frustrating delays. At DDA Mortgage, we understand these challenges and want to help you navigate them effectively.Ensuring Document Clarity and Property Title Accuracy for AI SuccessOne of the most significant advantages of AI in lending is its ability to process vast amounts of data quickly. However, this efficiency is entirely dependent on the quality and clarity of the information it receives. Think of AI as an incredibly fast, but literal, reader. It doesn't infer, it doesn't guess, and it certainly doesn't have the human capacity to piece together incomplete information or make assumptions based on context. This becomes critically important when you're applying for a second mortgage.When you're uploading documents, the AI system is performing optical character recognition (OCR) to extract vital data. If your scanned or photographed driver's license, for instance, has glare, is blurry, or has shadows obscuring key details, the AI simply won't be able to read it. The same goes for your bank statements. Faint print, crumpled pages, or even inconsistent formatting between pages can render them unreadable to the automated system. This isn't just a minor inconvenience; it's a direct roadblock to your application's progress.tune in and learn https://www.ddamortgage.com/blogDidier Malagies NMLS #212566dda mortgage nmls#324329 Support the show

The Reserve Bank kept the OCR at 2.25% … but the real story was hidden inside the forecasts.In this episode, Ed and Andrew unpack the Reserve Bank's latest projections for inflation, the OCR, unemployment, and house prices – including why interest rates could rise faster than previously expected.

The Reserve Bank Governor is feeling good about her captain's call to keep the Official Cash Rate unchanged at 2.25%. Anna Breman made the final decision after the six-member Monetary Policy Committee she chairs was evenly split on whether to hike the rate. Breman says she understands the argument for hiking but told Mike Hosking she doesn't think now's the right time. She says financial markets have already tightened quite a lot, and the economy is slowing down, which will reduce pressure on inflation over the medium term.

The Reserve Bank has opted to keep the OCR on hold at 2.25 percent today. Most markets had priced in a hold, but the views on what will happen next are split, especially considering concerns around inflation. Milford Asset Management's Remy Wisenberg explained further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well, that Official Cash Rate decision is probably one of those moments where you find out whether you're a glass half-full or glass half-empty person. Because on the bright side, the Official Cash Rate didn't go up. On the downside, it looks like it's definitely going up next time. So yes, it's a reprieve - but it's only a reprieve for six weeks, excuse me, before the screws on the economy start turning again. Thanks to the new transparency rules at the Reserve Bank - which, frankly, we should all love - we know that the committee voted and it was split right down the middle. Three members of the committee wanted the OCR to stay at 2.25 percent. Three of them voted for it to be raised by 25 basis points immediately to calm down inflation pressures. But Anna Breman, who is the governor, has a casting vote. She said it needs to stay, so it stays put. But they didn't hide the fact that it is going to go up sooner than they had thought just three months ago. And it will go up by more than they thought just three months ago. Much of it appears to hinge on what businesses do with prices from here on in. Because what the Iran war is doing to prices is so widespread - and so many prices are going up, from fuel to fertiliser to food - that it runs a higher risk that businesses start jacking up more prices in a second round of increases. And that is what they're worried about at the Reserve Bank. So economists are now calling for three hikes in quick succession from here: July, September and October. Now, there are two problems with that. The first: all three hikes are before the election in November. National, especially, should be sweating, because poorer voters are not happier voters - they are voters who turn to New Zealand First. The second problem - and this is probably the biggest of them all - is what this is going to do to our recovery, our economic recovery. We are probably in negative growth this quarter. Next quarter is probably not that flash but at least positive. Entire sectors, like construction, are still struggling to get back on their feet. Unemployment is still in the fives. The Iran war is still pushing up fuel prices and therefore pushing up the price of everything. So, glass half full: at least we get another six weeks before the screws start turning. Glass half empty: when they tighten, they will be tightening fast on an economy that doesn't need that kind of pressure. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Reserve Bank Governor says she's mindful of the weak economy, as she weighs up Official Cash Rate settings. Anna Breman made the final call to keep the OCR unchanged at 2.25 percent today. The Monetary Policy Committee had been evenly split on hiking or holding, and is now signalling it'll go up in September. Breman says they consider the factors pushing inflation up, but also the weak economy and labour market that could send it downwards.

Send us a question/idea/opinion direct via text message!In this special reaction episode, Nick Goodall and Kelvin Davidson unpack the latest RBNZ OCR decision. The rate was held, but only just. The vote was split 3–3, with the Governor casting the deciding vote. This highlights how finely balanced the outlook is.The key message is that rate rises are likely coming. The OCR track has been revised higher. An increase as soon as July now looks probable. Some committee members wanted to hike now. Their view was to act early to limit future inflation risks.Inflation forecasts have been lifted. Headline inflation is expected to rise above 4% in the near term. This is driven by fuel and import costs. Core inflation is easing, however, and longer-term expectations remain stable. This creates uncertainty around how aggressive the RBNZ needs to be.Growth has been downgraded. The recovery is expected to be slower. Unemployment is set to stay elevated for the next 12–18 months.The housing market outlook is weak. House prices are expected to be flat or slightly down. Sales volumes also look subdued. Mortgage rates may rise further, although much has already been priced in.Overall, the OCR is on hold for now. But the balance has shifted. Future increases look increasingly likely.Sign up for news and insights or contact on LinkedIn, X @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL and email ngoodall@cotality.com or kdavidson@cotality.comThis podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice.

An economist believes the Reserve Bank should raise the Official Cash Rate today to control inflation. The bank will release its first Monetary Policy Statement since war broke out in the Middle East, with most expecting it to hold at 2.25% and not rise until September.

Kiwibank's CEO is hoping the Reserve Bank will hold off on raising the Official Cash Rate tomorrow. Economists are expecting it to be held at 2.25%, with markets pricing in moves later in the year. It comes as the economy remains flat, with inflation, housing, global tensions, and weak spending all testing resilience. Kiwibank CEO Steve Jurkovich told Mike Hosking the economy is way too weak to cope with an increase to the OCR, as the inflation is coming from things outside of the usual set of worries.

Send us a question/idea/opinion direct via text message!With the Reserve Bank's Monetary Policy Statement (MPS) landing this Wednesday, the economic data is sending an interesting signal. April's electronic card transactions were 1.3% month-on-month—with fuel spending down 2% despite rising prices. It's decent evidence that "demand destruction" is actively under way as households fundamentally shift their behaviour.This week, Nick Goodall and Kelvin Davidson preview the upcoming OCR decision and why Nick is sliding off the fence to join the Kiwibank camp, lowering the probability of a July rate hike to 40%. We also pull apart the latest Monthly Chart Pack data, which reveals a consecutive four-month drop in year-on-year sales volumes, forcing a major downward revision to our 2026 housing transaction forecasts.Sign up for news and insights or contact on LinkedIn, X @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL and email ngoodall@cotality.com or kdavidson@cotality.comThis podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice.

In this episode, I sit down with Suzannah Alexander — counseling-education whistleblower, writer of the Substack Diogenes in Exile, and now organizer with the National Association of Scholars. Suzannah enrolled in a Tennessee counseling master's program after 25 years as a stay-at-home parent, only to discover that what was being taught wasn't psychology at all. It was demographics, identity politics, and what she eventually came to call a totalitarian philosophy dressed up as "multicultural competency."We unpack the moment that broke her trust in the program: when she described the Buddhist practice of the non-self — focusing less on your own identity so you can extend loving kindness toward an aggressive client — three separate professors told her, within 48 hours, that this was "invalidating to other identities." She was ultimately deemed unsafe for practicum because she hadn't sufficiently absorbed the program's values around whiteness, privilege, and cultural deference.From there, the conversation widens into the structural picture. Suzannah walks us through CACREP, the accrediting body that's been quietly building a near-monopoly on counseling education, the ACA Code of Ethics that's now baked into most state licensure boards, and the consortium of organizations that decided — without testing whether any of it produces better clinical outcomes — that critical social justice ideology would be the "professional identity" of American counseling.We talk about why this matters for patients, what it does to the people who would have been excellent therapists, how we might build alternative training pathways and apprenticeship models outside the current system, and why the problems of the 21st century — including AI psychosis — will demand the kind of pioneering, free-thinking practitioners this ideology is actively driving out.Suzannah Alexander is the External Affairs Coordinator for the National Association of Scholars. She came to this work after blowing the whistle on ideological indoctrination in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Master's program at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Since that experience, through work with FAIR, she has spearheaded OCR complaints against the counseling accreditation body CACREP and Colorado State University, where her reporting work drew attention to the Whitelash Study, documenting public humiliation of white social work students due to their race, and the disparagement of minorities as not good enough to succeed on their own. Now she is focused on policy measures to curtail accreditor and higher education overreach that are threatening free speech on campus.Substack Diogenes in Exile: https://www.diogenesinexile.comX/twitter: https://x.com/DiogenesInExileYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DiogenesInExileMinding The Campus: https://mindingthecampus.org/author/suzannahalexander/National Association of Scholars: https://www.nas.org[00:00:00] Start[00:04:59] What She Found In The Program[00:14:32] Steel-Manning Critical Social Justice[00:18:39] Pushed Out Before Practicum[00:24:05] The Bitter Irony Of Buddhism Rejected[00:34:37] Realizing The Problem Is Bigger[00:41:02] Counseling Futures And The Historical Roots[00:47:09] Who Gets To Be Okay?[00:56:37] What CACREP Is And Should Do[01:00:25] Microaggressions And Borderline Thinking[01:05:47] The CACREP Monopoly Explained[01:14:38] ACA Code Of Ethics And The Need For Alternatives[01:22:52] Mia Hughes Parallel And A Field Breaking Down[01:26:43] AI Psychosis And 21st-Century Problems[01:30:22] Building New Networks Outside The SystemROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

If you've ever wondered what happens when ransomware, bad decisions, cyber insurance confusion, and TikTok tech advice all collide in one spectacular dumpster fire… this episode is for you. The conversation dives into four fresh OCR enforcement actions that all share one painfully common theme: nobody did a proper risk analysis until after everything caught on fire. Add in cybersecurity "professionals" secretly helping ransomware gangs and business owners trying to replace enterprise security tools with AI-generated software from TikTok, and you've got an episode that somehow manages to be both educational and deeply concerning.

We are officially entering the "Multi-AI Era." Much like the multi-cloud times, organizations are no longer just using a single AI tool like Microsoft Copilot, they are building custom, agentic workflows using diverse third-party models and MCP servers . In this episode, Ashish sits down with Shawn Hays from Varonis to discuss why the security market has over-pivoted on AISPM (AI Security Posture Management) . Shawn spoke about how having visibility and an inventory of your AI models is a great start, but it fails to secure the enterprise if you lack the guardrails to actually stop an agent from going off the rails and exfiltrating data . Shawn breaks down the components of a robust AI security platform (like Varonis Atlas) and explains why data security is inseparable from AI security. He spoke about why AI agents will blindly "read whatever is on the teleprompter," meaning your AI is only as secure as the data access and identity controls surrounding it .
