Ben Baird reveals US government agencies, under both Obama and Biden administrations, continuously funded extremist Muslim groups. Despite warnings and previous Trump administration cuts, over $25 million in grants went to organizations with alleged ties to terrorism, antisemitism, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hamas. This included partnering with groups like CAIR, which also provided firearms training to radical mosques, raising serious questions about oversight and vetting standards for federal funds.

Design isn't a straight road. It's more like a maze with moving walls. In this episode, strategist Jen Briselli shows us why learning, relationships, and hidden networks matter more than best practices when navigating complex organizations.How do you thrive as a designer when the org around you is unpredictable, political, and constantly changing?Most designers hit a wall at some point in their career: their skills are strong, but the system they're working in feels impossible to navigate. Best practices don't seem to work, processes break down, and “design maturity” feels like a buzzword no one can actually define.That's where Jen Briselli comes in. With a background in physics, teaching, and design strategy, Jen helps teams understand what complexity really means and why learning is the only way through it. In our conversation, she explains how complicated and complex are not the same thing, how informal networks drive influence more than org charts, and why the real work of design is creating the conditions for growth rather than forcing outcomes.If you've ever felt stuck in a low-maturity team, frustrated by org politics, or burned out by chasing “best practices,” this episode will reframe how you see your role. Thriving in complexity and ambiguity is not about having all the answers. Instead, it's about learning how to sense, adapt, and build the great relationships that make great software possible.Take a listen to learn how to stop fighting complexity and start working with it.Topics:• 02:41 – Understanding Complexity in Product Design• 04:06 – Jen Belli's Journey into Complexity Science• 04:41 – Exploring Complexity Science in Design• 11:55 – The Difference Between Complex and Complicated Systems• 16:56 – Navigating Complex Systems in UX Design• 30:56 – The Role of Learning in Complex Systems• 34:58 – Formal and Informal Networks in Organizations• 40:57 – Understanding the Metaphor of Soil, Seeds, and Sunlight• 41:54 – Exploring Design Maturity and Emergent Properties• 43:33 – Creating Conditions for Psychological Safety and Design Maturity• 44:46 – The Role of Affordances in Design Maturity• 45:06 – Nurturing Growth in Unpredictable Environments• 50:00 – Balancing Work and Mental Health• 54:18 – The Importance of Identity and Letting Go• 57:33 – Final Thoughts on Complexity and LearningHelpful Links:• Connect with Jen on LinkedIn• Learning is the Engine // Jen's Rosenfeld Talk• Jen's YouTube channel—Thanks for listening!

President Trump made an off the record appearance at Joe's Seafood, a restaurant in D.C., it's the first time he's visited an establishment outside of his own clubs in either presidency. He was met with applause as he emphasized how safe and clean the city is now. Whacked out protestors from Code Pink got into the restaurant and President Trump just stared them down like the looneys they are. Remember when Kamala Harris was code-shifting every time she made a public appearance? Well, now she's blame-shifting, in recent excerpts from her new book 107 days, Kamala blamkes most of her failures on Joe Biden. Dr. Sebastian Gorka has been ripping into other failures like the hosts on preferred narrative networks like CNN, today he joins me to discuss all of President Trump's efforts to keep us safe at home and abroad. The strike on the Venezuelan drug boat was a clear message about how this administration will treat cartels trying to poison our citizens. From the Houthis surrender to the devastation of Iran's nuclear facilities, Secretary Hegseth and the new Department of War are at helm of the greatest military in the world.

Send us a textIn this episode of Navigating the Customer Experience, we welcome back Joseph Michelli, a certified customer experience professional, New York Times and Wall Street Journal #1 bestselling author, and internationally sought-after keynote speaker. Known for his books on iconic brands such as The Ritz-Carlton, Mercedes-Benz, Starbucks, Zappos, and Airbnb, Joseph brings decades of insight on how leaders and frontline teams can elevate human experiences.We dive into his latest book, All Business Is Personal: One Medical's Human-Centered, Technology-Powered Approach to Customer Engagement. Joseph highlights how One Medical—now part of Amazon—revolutionized healthcare delivery by combining AI and digital convenience with deeply personal human connections. He explains how technology can remove inefficiencies, like long waits and scheduling frustrations, while still keeping care human-centered. His insights underscore the importance of balancing automation with empathy—especially as industries increasingly adopt AI.On the topic of patient comfort with digital healthcare, Joseph notes the learning curve. While technology can enhance convenience, it must never replace the human connection where it matters most. He shares examples of how One Medical redesigned workflows so patients were seen promptly, providers spent less time on charts, and the overall experience felt more personal, not less. The takeaway: technology should enable more meaningful human interactions, not eliminate them.Looking ahead to 2026, Joseph outlines three key priorities for CX leaders:AI-readiness – Organizations must understand how AI is influencing customer interactions and ensure their brand is positioned effectively in AI-driven recommendations.Convenience and hyper-personalization – Customers expect seamless, tailored experiences; tone-deaf or generic messaging erodes loyalty.Human-empowered service – Well-trained, emotionally intelligent employees remain essential for delivering authentic, personalized experiences.Joseph also shares exciting news: the launch of a fully online Master's Degree in Customer Experience at Campbellsville University. This program equips professionals with academic and practical tools—from persona-based journey mapping to ecosystem design—to advance CX as a business-driving discipline.When discussing the core competencies for CX representatives, Joseph emphasizes emotional intelligence as the foundation. Empathy, self-awareness, managing emotions, and understanding what customers should feel in every interaction are crucial across all industries. Leaders, meanwhile, must also master influence, persistence, vision, and the ability to deliver measurable business outcomes.Joseph closes with a guiding philosophy he leans on during challenges: “Service serves us.” By focusing on creating value for others, we in turn are enriched. Yet he also reminds us that service must be balanced with self-respect—serving up to the point where we are valued, not devalued.This rich conversation covers Joseph's career journey, the evolving role of AI, the future of CX leadership, and the enduring importance of empathy in business. Don't miss this chance to learn from one of the leading voices in customer experience.Links Mentioned:All Business Is Personal: One Medical's Human-Centered, Technology-Powered Approach to Customer Engagement by Joseph A.

She holds a PhD in educational psychology from the University of Maryland and previously taught and led learning initiatives there.In this episode, Dart and Sandra discuss:- Why learning is different from training—and why it matters- How EPAM connects skills to work- Why skills only become powerful when grounded in context- The role of stretch assignments in developing real capabilities- How data and human agency work together at EPAM- What it takes to keep a skills ontology fresh as work evolves- Lessons for leaders building organizations that truly learnDr. Sandra Loughlin is Chief Learning Scientist at EPAM Systems, a $5 billion global engineering and professional services company.

By Adam Turteltaub Things are a bit out of balance when it comes to Business Associates (BAs) in healthcare.  Organizations invest a great deal of time and resources in vetting these third parties to make sure that they will safely handle data from the covered entity.  But, when the relationship ends, those same organizations may overlook the risks to their data post-separation. The problem is complex because different BAs will fall under different regulations and use data differently.  Some may process but not retain data.  Others may have terabytes of your data to return or destroy immediately.  For others, there may be a law or regulation requiring them to hold onto that data for several years. The compliance team, explains Marti Arvin (LinkedIn), Vice President, Chief Compliance and privacy Officer at Erlanger Health System, needs to ensure it is part of the process whenever a BA relationship is coming to an end.    At that point, it's time to reach out to the BA to ensure there is a plan in place for how data will be handled, and to begin documenting the process.  This helps in case there is an incident later. Listen in to learn more about what you can and should be doing to ensure that the close-out process is as healthy as it should be.

Colin Fisher: The Collective Edge Since his days as a professional jazz trumpet player, Colin Fisher has been fascinated by group dynamics. Today, he is an Associate Professor of Organizations and Innovation at University College London's School of Management, researching the hidden processes of helping groups and teams in situations requiring creativity, improvisation, and complex decision-making. He is the author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups (Amazon, Bookshop). Most of us assume that the best thing we can do for our teams is to be a great coach as they're working together. That absolutely helps, but the research says that only 10% of group effectiveness is what we do once the team is underway. In this conversation, Colin and I explore how to get a lot better at the other 90%. Key Points The house always wins. If the structure isn't right for the team to succeed, little else matters in the long run. Leaders tend to put a majority of their attention on coaching teams in progress instead of the more significant work at the start of structuring and launching teams. Work on fixing structural problems before you focus on fixing the process. 60% of group effectiveness is determined by structure, 30% by the launch, and 10% by expert coaching. Critical for structure is the team goal being clear, important, and challenging. Be sure to document it. Negotiate roles, tasks, and jobs to support structure. Determine early how to articulate progress and highlight small wins. Ask yourself if the group has the right people to achieve the objective. Deep diversity that supports the goal is essential. Surface discussions about norms at the start, especially related to communication and storage of information.

In today's episode, we're going to discuss the clarity of data-driven strategic goals with two of our own, Marcus Reed and James McKeen.Organizations have more data at their fingertips than ever before, but turning that data into clear, actionable objectives is where the real challenge—and opportunity—lies. Teams gain a shared understanding of what success looks like and how to measure it when strategic goals are shaped by evidence rather than assumptions.This episode's discussion unpacks why clarity matters, how data can sharpen your strategic focus, and what practices can help leaders avoid the common pitfalls of vague or misaligned objectives. Whether you're a business leader, an analyst, or simply passionate about making better decisions, this episode will help you harness data to drive purposeful, transparent, and impactful goals. 

The Future of Cybersecurity: AI, Exploits, and the CVE Database In this special crossover episode of Cybersecurity Today and Hashtag Trending, the hosts explore the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity. The conversation begins with an overview of the ongoing 'arms race' to find and exploit software vulnerabilities, focusing on how AI can change the game. The episode delves into the Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) Database, its importance, and its management by the Mitre Corporation. The discussion then spotlights groundbreaking research by Israeli researchers Effie Wies and Nahman Khayet, who developed a method to automate the creation of exploits using AI, reducing the average exploit development time from 192 days to just 15 minutes. This revelation raises significant concerns about the future of cybersecurity and the need for organizations to accelerate their response times. The podcast also touches on the potential for AI to assist in writing more secure code and defending against vulnerabilities, calling for a more resilient approach to software development and deployment. 00:00 Introduction to the Crossover Show 00:22 The Arms Race in Cybersecurity 00:59 Understanding Zero-Day Exploits 02:13 The Common Vulnerability and Exposures Database (CVE) 05:17 The Impact of AI on Exploit Development 05:54 Interview with Nahman Khayet 08:48 The Future of AI in Cybersecurity 18:16 Challenges and Recommendations for Organizations 30:54 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Send us a textAuthor and researcher Dr. Colin Fisher joins Joe to unpack the invisible forces that shape teams—and why leaders ignore them at their own risk.From his book The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups Dr. Fisher shows how group dynamics are always at play, whether in a locker room, a boardroom, or on the battlefield. Together, he and Joe explore why the myth of the lone genius persists, why synergy is real but rare, and how leaders can deliberately build trust, structure, and norms that drive high-performing teams.In this episode, Joe and Colin explore:Why the Sorting Hat—not Voldemort—might be the real villain of Harry PotterHow the “lone genius” narrative hides the reality of collaboration behind breakthroughsWhat synergy really means and why structure—not speeches—is the leader's most powerful toolThe difference between relational trust and task-based trust, and why the latter makes teams excelHow group norms emerge, and why they can drive both excellence and dysfunctionWhy psychological safety is about the freedom to disagree, not surface-level harmonyHow power changes leaders' relationships with others—and why who you surround yourself with mattersWhether you're leading a squad, running a company, or just trying to understand the groups you're part of, this episode will change how you see teamwork—and give you tools to lead with intention.Since his days as a professional jazz trumpet player, Dr. Colin M. Fisher has been fascinated by group dynamics. As Associate Professor of Organizations and Innovation at University College London's School of Management, Colin's research has uncovered the hidden processes of helping groups and teams in situations requiring creativity, improvisation, and complex decision-making. He has written about group dynamics for both popular science and management audiences, and his work has been profiled in prominent media outlets such as BBC, Forbes, NPR, and The Times.

Summary In this episode, Andy interviews Jim Ferrell, author of  You and We: A Relational Rethinking of Work, Life and Leadership. Andy has long been a big fan of Jim's work with The Arbinger Institute, authoring Leadership and Self-Deception and The Anatomy of Peace.  In this conversation, Jim unpacks his insights on how leaders can move from a self-focused to a relational mindset. Drawing from his new book, Jim explains why our effectiveness as leaders depends not just on what we do, but on how we view and relate to the people around us. The discussion explores what it means to be relational instead of transactional, how leaders can better navigate conflict, and the subtle ways our self-deceptions hinder growth. Jim also shares practical ideas for building trust, leading with humility, and focusing on outcomes that matter most. This episode is packed with thought-provoking insights that will challenge how you think about leadership, culture, and collaboration. If you're looking for insights on how to become a more relational leader and truly impact those you serve, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “Machines don't have to be great at relation, but they'll be great at everything else. And if we're lousy at relation ourselves, we won't have a job.” "Those who can relate better, that's the uniquely human competitive advantage we bring to the marketplace." "The top people spend most of their time on the relational work, not on the other stuff. So you see it happening already. That's all going to be accelerating." “The most important part of the chart of any org chart is actually all the space in between the names and boxes, because that's where everything's happening, right?” “We went from the body economy to the mind economy to now the heart economy.” “Proximity is not necessarily closeness.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:55 Start of Interview 02:07 Jim Ferrell's Backstory and Early Influences 06:17 About Jim Writing Leadership and Self-Deception 08:57 Exploring the Concept of Relation vs. Relationships 10:07 The Five Levels of Relation 13:19 Managing Relation in Organizations 17:29 The Shift to the Heart Economy 20:00 Insights from the Book 'You and We' 27:00 Proximity vs. Closeness in Remote Work 29:08 The Power of Hydrogen and Oxygen 29:46 Remote vs. In-Person Work Dynamics 32:14 The Importance of Connectivity in Teams 33:14 Understanding Relational Space 34:35 Personal Stories of Relation 37:48 How Can We Discern Where We Are in the Levels?

What happens when workplace positivity becomes a toxic mask that's slowly killing your business? Steve's recent post about this very issue sparked a fascinating conversation that reveals why so many blue-collar organizations are struggling with employee loyalty and retention.The discussion began with a complete misunderstanding of what "toxic positivity" means. Its not about creating contagious positive energy it reveals the darker truth: organizations that force fake smiles while burying serious problems. This disconnect led to breakthrough insights about what blue-collar workplaces really need to thrive.We emphasize a crucial point: "If people can't be real, they're never going to be loyal." Organizations that prioritize comfort over truth create environments where problems get buried and trust erodes.Highlights:Gen X sees through BS but won't make waves, Gen Z spots fake positivity quickly.Third-party facilitation builds trust that employees lack internally.When employees leave en masse, it's a leadership problem not employee problem.Focus on "winning the week" with solutions rather than desperate blame-shifting.Are you dealing with toxic positivity in your workplace? Whether you're a blue-collar worker, supervisor, or business owner, it's time to evaluate whether your organization prioritizes comfort over truth.Don't miss future episodes where we bring our unfiltered perspective to the challenges and opportunities in blue-collar America.

Few leaders expect their first months on the job to coincide with a fight for the future of the arts in America. For Erin Harkey, that became the reality when she stepped in as CEO of Americans for the Arts earlier this year—just as the federal government proposed eliminating national arts funding. In this episode, Erin reflects on her career journey, from shaping cultural policy in Chicago to stepping into one of the most prominent arts leadership roles in the country. She shares why public funding is uniquely powerful, how communities can mobilize in times of uncertainty, and why joy itself can be a form of resistance. Along the way, she offers practical advice for arts administrators, artists, and advocates alike: from making your voice heard with elected officials to finding ways to sustain yourself in the work.

Trying to improve in too many areas simultaneously is the fastest path to nowhere. In this thought-provoking episode, Russ Hill tackles the widespread problem of focus dilution that plagues both organizations and individuals.Drawing from his extensive experience coaching executive teams at major companies, Russ reveals how well-intentioned HR departments and leaders often sabotage progress by overwhelming their teams with too many priorities, resources, and development initiatives. He vividly describes the "whack-a-mole" approach that leaves people paralyzed by good intentions rather than empowered to make meaningful improvements.Through personal anecdotes and organizational examples, Russ demonstrates how narrowing your focus to just 2-3 priorities creates the conditions for actual movement. Whether it's in your personal development journey (where trying to improve your fitness, relationships, spiritual life, and professional skills simultaneously leads nowhere) or in your leadership approach (where bombarding your team with constant new initiatives prevents any from taking root), the principle remains the same: less truly is more.The episode offers a refreshing counterpoint to our culture's tendency toward information overload. Russ shares how a former boss challenged his habit of constantly reading new leadership books, suggesting instead that he read one book multiple times and fully implement its insights. This approach—studying fewer resources more deeply—creates sustainable change in a way that constant consumption never can.Ready to break free from the paralysis of too many priorities? Listen now to discover how focusing on less can help you and your organization achieve more.

Nigel Thurlow previously served as the first-ever Chief of Agile at Toyota, where he created the World Agility Forum award-winning “Scrum the Toyota Way” and co-created The Flow System™, a holistic FLOW-based approach to delivering customer-first value built on a foundation of The Toyota Production System.Throughout his career, Thurlow has gained an enviable recognition as a leading expert in Lean and Agile methods, tools, techniques, and approaches. He specializes in developing effective organizational designs and operating models for organizations to embrace both Lean and Agile concepts. By leveraging knowledge from various sources, Thurlow helps optimize organizations to enact successful, long-lasting transformational strategies in applying Lean thinking, Agile techniques, and Scrum – while combining complexity thinking, distributive leadership, and team science, represented by a triple helix structure known as the DNA of Organizations™.As of 2024, he has trained over 8,500 people worldwide in Scrum, Agile, Lean, Flow, Complexity, and organizational design. Thurlow is a Professional Scrum Trainer (PST).An instinctive problem solver, Nigel Thurlow takes a method-agnostic, cross-industry approach in helping organizations find the right tools, methods, and approaches to overcome challenges within their contextual situation. He advocates for the fact that there is not a one-size-fits-all prescriptive approach to agility; all tools have utility, but they also have contextual limitations. From this vantage point, Thurlow equips an organization's people to become an army of problem solvers, expanding their perception of what they do so they can better understand and prepare for potential challenges along the way.Thurlow is currently the Chief Executive Officer at The Flow Consortium, a collection of highly regarded companies in the Lean and Agile world — as well as the scientific and academic communities at large. The Flow Consortium strives to expand the boundaries of current Lean and Agile thinking through the understanding of complexity thinking, distributed leadership, and team science by tapping into the minds of top thought leaders from these concentrations.While at Toyota, Thurlow worked to frame Scrum as more than just a standardized behavioral process by applying and advancing fundamental methodologies to spur innovative, forward-thinking solutions to Toyota's most complex challenges. He also founded the Toyota Agile Academy in 2018. These efforts signaled a transformative phase for Toyota, leading the company towards organizational agility and helping its team members better understand this concept in an automotive production context.Additionally, Thurlow has been a board presence at the University of North Texas since 2019, serving as an advisor to the Department of Information Science Board and a member of the College of Information Leadership Board. He has also served as the President of CDQ LLC since 2012. Prior to that, Thurlow held executive coaching and training roles for companies including Vodafone, Lumen Technologies, Scrum, Inc., GE Power & Water, 3M Healthcare Information Systems, Bose Corporation, The TJX Companies, Inc. – as well as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He has also taught Scrum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).As an author, Thurlow was named a Forbes top 10 author for co-authoring the book “The Flow System™” in 2020. He has recently co-authored “The Flow System Playbook” published in 2023 which presents a practical study guide and reference book to all the concepts covered in the first book.His other notable publications include “Introducing the Flow System (2019)” and “TPS and the Age of Destruction (2019).” He is also the co-author of The Flow Guide and The Flow System Principles and Key Attributes Guidebook. Recently, Thurlow co-authored “The...

I start off with Dave Bianco & Stephen Ross of Rt. 66 Coin and Collectibles with a precious metals market update and also discuss Trump tariffs, debt, deficit spending, the Trump battle with the Federal Reserve and more. Olivia joins me with an update on an alleged bomb making raid in Camp Verde and shares her lost and now found tortoise story. I rant about why I think government run business retention/expansion organizations are laughable to business owners.  Kelly Broaddus gives a real estate market update at the beginning of the 2nd hour with a discussion on the Trump (and other government) pushes to fix the so called “housing emergency”. 

Paul Thurrott is in Berlin this week for IFA 2025! With AI models multiplying across devices and Microsoft plotting a post-OpenAI future, Paul and Richard debate whether Copilot and local AI finally hint at what's next for your PC.

This segment examines the Trump administration's approach to combating transnational criminal organizations, specifically focusing on the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua. The discussion delves into the group's alleged activities, including human trafficking and drug smuggling, and the administration's efforts to counter them. It also explores the complex relationship between the gang, the Venezuelan government, and the actions of U.S. law enforcement, questioning why certain agencies and political figures may have initially hesitated to act. The transcript highlights the view that a more aggressive stance is necessary to combat these organizations, and suggests there may be a deeper, more politically motivated connection at play.

Send us a textIn this episode, MJ and Rasheem explore the legacy and continued relevance of poor Black women's activism in Baltimore, focusing on housing justice and welfare rights. Drawing on Rhonda Y. Williams' seminal article, “We're Tired of Being Treated Like Dogs,” the hosts delve into the political lives of Black women who mobilized against institutional neglect and economic exploitation from the 1960s to the present.The conversation centers on the historical and grassroots efforts of Black women like Margaret McCarty and Rev. Annie Chambers, who turned personal struggle into collective resistance. Organizations like U-JOIN (Union for Jobs or Income Now) and Mother Rescuers from Poverty emerged from East Baltimore's neighborhoods and housing complexes such as Murphy Homes, O'Donnell Heights, and Gilmore Homes—communities marked by poverty but rich in organizing tradition.Rasheem details how federal surveillance, welfare fraud prosecutions, and slumlord neglect were met with tenant strikes, welfare marches, and legislative advocacy. Leaders challenged both structural racism and class exploitation, drawing on a Black Radical Tradition that was grassroots-based, anti-capitalist, and unapologetically of the people.Key locations such as North Gay Street and Pennsylvania Avenue serve as landmarks of resistance, while institutions like the Soul School became spaces of political education. The episode also touches on national allies like CORE and speakers such as Stokely Carmichael and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who amplified the local struggle on a national stage.MJ and Rasheem conclude by reflecting on what today's organizers can learn from this era: the power of coalition-building, the necessity of political independence, and the importance of reclaiming radical traditions that center the voices of poor Black women in the fight for housing, dignity, and justice.Main Themes:Housing activism as a form of defense of home and selfThe central role of Black women in welfare rights organizingTension between Black capitalism and Black radical politicsPolitical consciousness and grassroots leadership among poor communitiesLessons for contemporary housing and labor justice movements in BaltimoreSupport the showIn Search of Black Power is a Black-owned internet show and podcast.

Human trafficking may seem like a problem that only happens in places far away, but in reality, it happens here in Ohio. According to the United Nations' International Labour Organization, human trafficking impacts more than 27 million people worldwide. And though there's no reliable estimate of human trafficking in the U.S., according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, it has been reported in all 50 states. To try to better understand this issue, and how it can be stopped., we'll ask how do human trafficking cases occur in Ohio? What's happening to these victims? And how are survivors escaping? Later, over the next few weeks, Northeast Ohio will be in the path of a natural phenomenon. Millions of monarch butterflies will be on the move making their way to wintering grounds in Mexico. We will talk about monarch butterflies, including their migration and conservation efforts with local naturalists.

Why do some groups spark energy and creativity while others feel draining and tense? Taking on this topic, we sit down with Colin Fisher, the author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups. We dig into what really sets groups apart from one-on-one partnerships, how social norms and psychological safety shape the way groups function, and why synergy can feel so unpredictable yet incredibly powerful.Colin shares stories and research from his book, busting some common myths about group dynamics, the risks of trying to “sort” people into roles, and how relaunching a team can reset unhealthy patterns. From jazz improvisation to Nobel Prize-winning teams, this conversation is packed with insights and practical takeaways for anyone who wants to get the most out of working and living with others.Listen and Learn: What makes a group different from a one-on-one relationship, and why does that difference matter?Why relying on “sorting hat” thinking like personality tests or rigid categories can limit group success and fuel unhelpful divisionsWhy we often overlook the power of groupsCan you spot the invisible norms shaping your group before they push you toward extreme or unhealthy behaviors?How can bringing in new perspectives or encouraging psychological safety keep your group balanced and open-minded?What is psychological safety?How can groups achieve that magical sense of synergy?Creating high-performing teamsRelaunching groups to reset unhealthy patterns and improve team dynamicsResources:Colin's Book: The Collective Edge: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780593715345 Colins Website: https://colinmfisher.com/ Colin's Substack: https://colinmfisher.substack.com/Connect with Colin on Social Media: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colinmfisher?originalSubdomain=ukhttps://www.instagram.com/trumpetfisher/ Undoing Project by Michael Lewis: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780393354775 Work, Parent, Thrive by Yael Schonbrun: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781611809657 Social Intelligence Test: https://socialintelligence.labinthewild.org/mite/About Colin FisherSince his days as a professional jazz trumpet player, Colin Fisher has been fascinated by group dynamics.

Getting people to voluntarily share their best information and act in the best interest of their team are two of the biggest challenges leaders face. In an insecure economy, it can be more difficult to get people on a team to demonstrate prosocial behavior, however, Dr. Vanessa Druskat's research proves that emotionally intelligent teams that are supportive of each other - by listening deeply, offering help, and celebrating the successes of others - will offer superior results. In this interview, Dr. Druskat shares how leaders can build collaborative groups that outperform the competition. She says that healthy teams emerge when norms are created that allow everyone on the team to be heard and to contribute in their roles. She goes on to discuss how to create a sense of belonging when so many people revile DEI, how AI is going to influence the desire to work collaboratively, and how her research on team effectiveness can be applied to create more unified communities. Dr. Vanessa Druskat is an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at the University of New Hampshire. She is an internationally recognized leadership and team performance expert who advises leaders and teams in some of the world's most respected Fortune 500 and Fortune Global 500 organizations. Her thirty-year research career examining differences between team cultures (i.e., social norms and routines) in high-performing and average-performing work teams led her to pioneer the concept of team emotional intelligence. She has published award-winning research articles in her field's top academic and practitioner journals and serves on the executive board of the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations. Her popular Harvard Business Review article (with S. Wolff) on emotionally intelligent teams has been reprinted four times in collections of HBR's most valued articles. Her book “The Emotionally Intelligent Team: Building Collaborative Groups that Outperform the Rest” was released in July of 2025.

Michael Ruckman, founder and CEO of Senteo, takes us on a fascinating journey from aspiring medical student to influential global consultant with experience in over 40 countries. Join us as Michael shares his unique insights on the transformative power of AI in reshaping the business landscape, highlighting the concept of relationship currency. We explore his intriguing experiences, from navigating the Russian banking sector as an American expatriate to the nuances of living abroad, all peppered with Michael's signature humor and wisdom.   As businesses face the challenges of adapting to change, we dissect the roles people play in fostering innovation, from early adopters to laggards. Drawing from humor and everyday observations, such as the quirks of our personal habits like organizing gummy bears, we delve into the complexities of leadership and change management. The discussion transitions to remote work's impact, revealing the importance of understanding employee dynamics and the necessity of onstage versus offstage support in organizational transformations.   The conversation further explores the role of AI in customer interactions, stressing the importance of genuine empathy that AI often lacks. We highlight the evolution of business models from product-centric to customer-centric approaches and the significance of prioritizing customer relationships for long-term success. Through compelling case studies, we examine how companies can better utilize AI to enhance human interactions rather than replace them, fostering a future where technology meets the nuanced needs of human experiences. Prepare to be inspired as we navigate the ever-evolving world of business, AI, and the critical role of leadership in guiding impactful change.   CHAPTERS    (00:00) - Escape the Drift (09:28) - Navigating Change Leadership in Organizations (20:07) - AI Application in Business Context (23:52) - Customer Relationships in Business Strategy (31:08) - The Evolution of Business Models (39:08) - Customer-Centric Strategies and AI Development (43:39) - AI's Role in Human Experience (52:07) - Leadership and Change in Business (58:54) - Effective Leadership and Change Strategies  

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 35! In today's episode, we confront the stereotype that Asian Pacific Islanders are docile or apolitical—and replace it with powerful stories of immigrant women sewing their way into labor history. We shine a spotlight on the garment industry's deepest struggles—from the grueling piecework and unsafe conditions to the solidarity that transformed sweatshops into symbols of resistance. Featured stories include: The 1982 Chinatown Garment Workers' Strike in New York City, where over 20,000 Chinese immigrant women led a historic walkout—and won. The 1995 El Monte sweatshop case in Los Angeles, which exposed modern-day slavery and elevated lawyer Julie Su to national leadership. Immigrant women organizing in 1970s–1980s Vancouver, rewriting Canadian labor organizing through multilingual outreach and coalition building. We also highlight key API leaders such as Katie Quan, Julie Su, and Avtar Singh Dhillon, exploring their backgrounds and enduring impact on labor justice. In our recurring segment, we talk about an organization to support, and feature the Garment Worker Center of Los Angeles who continue to do great work in support of garment workers.

This week, we are joined by Jamie Levy, Director of Adversary Tactics at Huntress, who is discussing their work on "Active Exploitation of SonicWall VPNs." Huntress has released an urgent threat advisory on active exploitation of SonicWall VPNs, with attackers bypassing MFA, pivoting to domain controllers, and ultimately deploying Akira ransomware. The campaigns involve techniques such as disabling defenses, clearing logs, credential theft, and Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks with legitimate Windows drivers. Organizations using SonicWall devices are strongly advised to disable SSL VPN access or restrict it via IP allow-listing, rotate credentials, and hunt for indicators of compromise as this remains an ongoing and evolving threat. Complete our annual ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠audience survey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ before August 31. The research can be found here: Huntress Threat Advisory: Active Exploitation of SonicWall VPNs Learn more about your ad choices.

BONUS: Agile Tour Vienna 2025—Building Community-Driven Agile Excellence In this BONUS episode, we explore the upcoming Agile Tour Vienna 2025 (get your ticket now!) with three passionate organizers who are bringing together the Austrian agile community for a day of learning, networking, and innovation. Join us as we dive into what makes this community-driven event special, the challenges facing today's agile practitioners, and why local connections matter more than ever in our evolving professional landscape. The Heart of Community-Driven Events "For me, it's really about creating an event from the community for the community. So at the Agile Tour Vienna we really pay a lot of attention that the contributions are made by community members." - Sabina Lammert The foundation of Agile Tour Vienna lies in its commitment to authentic community engagement. Unlike corporate-led conferences focused on sales and marketing, this event prioritizes genuine knowledge sharing and peer-to-peer learning. The organizers emphasize creating space for meaningful conversations, where participants don't just consume content but actively contribute to discussions and support one another with real-world challenges. This approach fosters an intimate atmosphere where attendees leave with valuable professional connections and practical insights they can immediately apply. Balancing Local Expertise with Global Perspectives "This local aspect is very important, but then it needs to be enhanced by bringing in ideas from people from the outside world." - Robert Ruzitschka Agile Tour Vienna strikes a unique balance between showcasing local Austrian talent and bringing in internationally renowned speakers. The event features a carefully curated mix of practical experiences from Vienna-based practitioners working directly with teams and companies, combined with keynotes from global thought leaders. This blend creates opportunities for attendees to understand both the local context of agile implementation and broader industry trends, making the learning experience both immediately relevant and strategically valuable. A Thoughtfully Designed Experience "We make sure we have a good diversity within the speakers. We also take care that we have a good mix, because for me, agile started with the engineering practices." - Richard Brenner The 2025 program demonstrates attention to creating a comprehensive learning experience. The organizers ensure language accessibility by maintaining at least one English track throughout the day while also offering German sessions. The content spans from technical engineering practices to team coaching and business strategy, reflecting agile's evolution across organizational levels. The event takes place in a stunning castle location (Auersperg Palace) that enhances the intimate, family-like atmosphere the organizers work hard to cultivate. World-Class Content in an Intimate Setting "Agile Tour Vienna is never aiming to go big, but to stay small and familiar. By the end of the day, you know new people." - Sabina Lammert This year's highlights include keynotes from Dave Farley on engineering excellence and Mirella Muse on product operations, plus an innovative Comic Agile storytelling workshop. The organizers deliberately limit attendance to maintain the conference's intimate character, ensuring meaningful networking opportunities rather than overwhelming crowds. Additional touches like a professional barista bar and ample space for informal conversations between sessions create an environment where genuine professional relationships can develop. From Concept-Based to Context-Based Agility "The biggest challenge is that we go from concept-based agility to context-based agility. Companies realize the world is complex. There is no one framework to rule them all." - Richard Brenner The agile community faces a significant evolution as the methodology matures from underground movement to established practice. Organizations are moving away from rigid framework implementations toward contextual problem-solving approaches. This shift requires practitioners to focus on solving real business issues rather than introducing agile for its own sake. The challenge lies in maintaining agile's core values while adapting to diverse organizational contexts and avoiding the trap of seeking simple solutions for complex problems. Maintaining Values-Based Working "It's not about winning over something. It's about using common sense, getting into interaction and trying to find sometimes complex solutions for complex problems." - Sabina Lammert Rather than declaring agile "dead," the community must refocus on value-based working and continuous adaptation. The real challenge involves empowering people to constantly reevaluate situations and embrace the reality that today's solutions may not work in three weeks or three years. This requires normalizing the inspect-and-adapt mindset as standard practice rather than exception, moving beyond method-focused thinking toward principle-driven decision making. Sustaining Community Spirit Through Challenging Times "In times of crisis, people tend to fall back to old patterns of behavior. We need to keep the ideas that made us work in a specific way alive." - Robert Ruzitschka Economic and political uncertainties create pressure to abandon agile practices in favor of traditional command-and-control approaches. Community events like Agile Tour Vienna play a crucial role in maintaining momentum for collaborative, adaptive working methods. The discipline required for agile practices - continuous integration, experimental approaches, market-driven feedback collection - represents a more sophisticated and ultimately more sustainable way of working than traditional project management approaches. The Discipline of Adaptability The discussion revealed an important distinction about discipline in agile environments. Agile teams demonstrate remarkable discipline through practices like continuous integration, experimental product development, and systematic feedback collection. This represents a more humane form of discipline that acknowledges complexity and enables adaptation, contrasting sharply with the rigid discipline of following predetermined plans regardless of changing circumstances.

AI is revolutionizing the landscape of cybercrime, introducing sophisticated threats such as deepfakes, voice cloning, and autonomous attacks. The rise of generative AI tools has led to a staggering increase in phishing messages and email fraud losses, with many organizations reporting that they have already experienced AI-powered attacks. Despite this alarming trend, a significant number of cybersecurity professionals express a lack of confidence in their ability to detect these advanced threats. As cybercriminals leverage AI to launch scalable, multi-step campaigns, the stakes for managed service providers (MSPs) and their clients have never been higher.One notable incident discussed is the Arup deepfake attack, where a clerk was deceived into transferring $25 million to criminals who impersonated senior executives using deepfake technology. This incident highlights the ease with which attackers can create convincing deepfakes and the vulnerabilities that exist within organizations. The conversation also delves into various techniques that criminals use to bypass generative AI safeguards, such as prompt chaining and adversarial prompting, which allow them to extract sensitive information or create malicious software.As the cybersecurity landscape evolves, the importance of security awareness training for employees is emphasized. Organizations must prepare for a future where AI-driven attacks are more frequent and sophisticated. Best practices in cybersecurity remain relevant, including patch management and endpoint detection and response, which are crucial for identifying and mitigating threats. The discussion underscores the need for continuous monitoring and the potential for automation to alleviate the burden on IT teams.Looking ahead, the emergence of agentic AI poses a significant challenge, as it could enable cybercriminals to scale their operations more effectively. While current AI applications have not yet transformed the tactics used in cybercrime, the potential for agentic AI to automate complex attacks raises concerns about the future of cybersecurity. MSPs must stay vigilant and adapt to the changing threat landscape, ensuring they are equipped to handle the increasing volume and speed of cyber threats.

AI Dependency Crisis + EV Infrastructure Failures: Tech Reality Check 2025When Two Infrastructure Promises Collide with RealityThe promise was simple: AI would augment human intelligence, and electric vehicles would transform transportation. The reality in 2025? Both are hitting infrastructure walls that expose uncomfortable truths about how technology actually scales.Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli didn't plan to connect these dots in their latest Random and Unscripted weekly recap, but the conversation naturally evolved from AI dependency concerns to electric vehicle infrastructure challenges—revealing how both represent the same fundamental problem: mistaking technological capability for systemic readiness."The AI is telling us what success looks like and we're measuring against that, and who knows if it's right or wrong," Sean observed, describing what's become an AI dependency crisis in cybersecurity teams. Organizations aren't just using AI as a tool; they're letting it define their decision-making frameworks without maintaining the critical thinking skills to evaluate those frameworks.Marco connected this to their recent Black Cat analysis, describing the "paradox loop"—where teams lose both the ability to take independent action and think clearly because they're constantly feeding questions to AI, creating echo chambers of circular reasoning. "We're gonna be screwed," he said with characteristic directness. "We go back to something being magic again."This isn't academic hand-wringing. Both hosts developed their expertise when understanding fundamental technology was mandatory—when you had to grasp cables, connections, and core systems to make anything work. Their concern is for teams that might never develop that foundational knowledge, mistaking AI convenience for actual competence.The electric vehicle discussion, triggered by Marco's conversation with Swedish consultant Matt Larson, revealed parallel infrastructure failures. "Upgrading to electric vehicles isn't like updating software," Sean noted, recalling his own experience renting an EV and losing an hour to charging—"That's not how you're gonna sell it."Larson's suggestion of an "Apollo Program" for EV infrastructure acknowledges what the industry often ignores: some technological transitions require massive, coordinated investment beyond individual company capabilities. The cars work; the surrounding ecosystem barely exists. Sound familiar to anyone implementing AI without considering organizational infrastructure?From his Object First webinar on backup systems, Sean extracted a deceptively simple insight: immutability matters precisely because bad actors specifically target backups to enable ransomware success. "You might think you're safe and resilient until something happens and you realize you're not."Marco's philosophical take—comparing immutable backups to never stepping in the same river twice—highlights why both cybersecurity and infrastructure transitions demand unchanging foundations even as everything else evolves rapidly.The episode's most significant development was their expanded event coverage announcement. Moving beyond traditional cybersecurity conferences to cover IBC Amsterdam (broadcasting technology since 1967), automotive security events, gaming conferences, and virtual reality gatherings represents recognition that infrastructure challenges cross every industry."That's where things really get interesting," Sean noted about broader tech events. When cybersecurity professionals only discuss security in isolation, they miss how infrastructure problems manifest across music production, autonomous vehicles, live streaming, and emerging technologies.Both AI dependency and EV infrastructure failures share the same root cause: assuming technological capability automatically translates to systemic implementation. The gap between "this works in a lab" and "this works in reality" represents the most critical challenge facing technology leaders in 2025.Their call to action extends beyond cybersecurity: if you know about events that address infrastructure challenges at the intersection of technology and society, reach out. The "usual suspects" of security conferences aren't where these broader infrastructure conversations are happening.What infrastructure gaps are you seeing between technology promises and implementation reality?
