Send us a textHonouring Martin Green: A Family's Story - Welcome to this special episode in our six-part mini-series on firefighter cancer, protection, and decontamination — brought to you with the support of PGI, leaders in high-performance protective gear for those who serve on the front line.Today's conversation is one that hits straight to the heart. We're honoured to share the story of Martin Green — a firefighter with over 30 years of service, a respected professional, a devoted husband, and a loving father. Martin tragically lost his life to cancer, a disease that continues to take far too many from our fire family. In this episode, I sit down with his wife Latitia and their son Evan to talk about the man behind the badge — and the journey they've walked since his diagnosis and passing.This isn't an easy listen, but it's an essential one. Latesha and Evan speak with courage, grace, and honesty about the cost of service, the reality of occupational cancer, and the ripple effects it has on families and communities. Their story brings a deeply personal dimension to the conversations we've been having throughout this series — reminding us that behind every statistic is a life, a legacy, and people left behind.If you're a firefighter, a leader in the fire sector, or simply someone who cares about protecting those who protect others — this episode is a powerful call to action. It's about raising awareness, driving cultural change, and making sure no firefighter family has to walk this path alone again.This one's for Martin — and for every firefighter we've lost too soon.Let's get into it.ACCESS THE PODCAST LIBRARY & EVERY EPISODE, DEBRIEF & DOCUMENT CLICK HEREPODCAST GIFT - Get your FREE subscription to essential Firefighting publications HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyIDEXHAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez - Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydratedSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

EEG is the single most useful ancillary test to support the clinical diagnosis of epilepsy, but if used incorrectly it can lead to misdiagnosis and long-term mental and physical health sequelae. Its application requires proper understanding of its limitations and variability of testing results. In this episode, Katie Grouse, MD, FAAN, speaks with Daniel Weber, DO, author of the article “EEG in Epilepsy,” in the Continuum® February 2025 Epilepsy issue. Dr. Grouse is a Continuum® Audio interviewer and a clinical assistant professor at the University of California San Francisco in San Francisco, California. Dr. Weber is the director of adult epilepsy and vice chair of clinical affairs at the St. Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri.

Today, I'm interviewing Dr Daniel Weber about his article on EEG and epilepsy, which appears in the February 2025 Continuum issue on epilepsy. Welcome to the podcast and please introduce yourself to our audience. Dr Weber: Hi, thanks for having me. My name is Dan Weber and I'm an epileptologist at Saint Louis University. I direct the adult epilepsy program here and also serve as the vice chair for Clinical Affairs. Been my pleasure to work on this article. Dr Grouse: I'm so happy to have you today. I read your article. I found it to be incredibly useful as someone who often orders EEG in the general neurology clinic. So, I wanted to start with asking, what is the most clinically relevant message or takeaway from your article that you'd really like neurologists to know? Dr Weber: Yes, when I was asked to write this article, I looked back at the previous Continuum on epilepsy and just the general literature. And there's a lot of good articles and books out there on EEG and epilepsy and sort of giving you a primer on what you might see and how to interpret it. So, we wanted to try to go a slightly different direction. This article gives you some of that gives you the background of EEG and some of the basic things that you may see, but the real thrust of it is more about the limitations of EEG in the clinical picture of epilepsy and common things you might avoid. There are some things that we get hammered into our brains in training that aren't always true and there's plenty of examples in the literature to review, and this article sort of tries to encapsulate as many of those as possible in a digestible format. The main takeaway would be that EEG is an extremely helpful tool in the diagnosis of epilepsy, is the best tool we have to help supplement your clinical acumen. But it does not make the diagnosis of epilepsy. And there are certain circumstances when it may not be as helpful as you may have been led to believe in residency. Dr Grouse: Maybe not the most comforting of messages, but certainly an important one, very important to learn more about this. So, we appreciate that. Can you tell us your decision-making process when deciding whether to order a routine EEG, an extended EEG, prolonged ambulatory EEG, or inpatient video EEG? Dr Weber: Sure. So, it's a multi-part question because each one, I think, has a different clinical scenario. In the current state, our best data for estimating risk of recurrence after an initial seizure comes with routine EEG abnormalities. So, often I will order routine EEGs in those scenarios. So new patient presentation, new patients coming in with an initial seizure who want to know what's their risk of recurrence. So, risk stratification, I use a lot of routine EEG for, often sleep deprived if possible to increase the sensitivity. If you'd like, the extended EEG does offer higher sensitivity, or you can repeat the routine EEG if the first routine EEG is nonconclusive. For generally extended EEGs, I tend to order them in my practice if patients have come to see me with a suspected diagnosis of epilepsy but haven't yet had any electrographic confirmation. Maybe they've already had routine EEGs done in the past, so we'll try to obtain just a little more data. The longer-term EEGs I tend to use in different clinical scenarios, in patients usually who already have established diagnosis or people who have become refractory and we haven't yet confirmed their diagnosis. I tend to do inpatient EEGs in those situations. Ambulatory EEGs I do more when there are certain characteristics of the patient or the patient 's presentation that may not fit well on the inpatient side. Patients who are reliant on substances who can't use while they're inpatient and may have withdrawal effects complicating the stay. Or people who have a strong activation component to their epilepsy where activity really draws it out, certain activities that they do at home that they might not do during the inpatient stay. Those are the sorts of people I'll do ambulatory EEGs on. There are a couple other scenarios as well that come up less commonly, but everything has its own little niche. Dr Grouse: That's a really helpful review as we sort of think about which way we want to go as we're working up our patients in the inventory setting. Can you tell me a little more about the difference between sensitivity of, for instance, doing maybe two routine EEGS versus prolonged ambulatory EEG? Dr Weber: Generally speaking, the longer you're recording someone's brain waves, the higher the sensitivity is going to be. So routine EEG is twenty to forty minutes at most places. One of those gives you a certain sensitivity. More of them will give you more sensitivity. And there was a recent study highlighted in the article that compared routine EEGs to initial multi-day ambulatory EEG, and the ambulatory EEG obviously, as would be expected, has a higher sensitivity than either of the routines. So, there may be some cases with that initial evaluation where an ambulatory EEG may be held and we get into that in more detail in the article. But with the caveat, a lot of this article is about limitations, and the data that we have to talk about increased risk of recurrence was based off seeing epileptic form discharges on routine EEG. So you could hypothesize that if you only have one epileptic form discharge in three days on an ambulatory EEG, that may not carry the same recurrent significance as catching one on a twenty minute EEG. But we don't have that knowledge. Dr Grouse: Getting a little bit more into what you mentioned about the limitations, when is the scalp EEG less useful or limited in the evaluation of epilepsy? Dr Weber: So, one thing I see a lot in my residence at here and other places where I've worked is, I get them very excited about EEG and they may order it a bit too much. So, if patients have a known, established diagnosis of epilepsy, electrographically confirmed, and they come in with a breakthrough seizure and they're back to their baseline, there's really not a strong reason to get an EEG. We often seem to in the emergency department as part of our evaluation, but we already know what happened to the patient. The patient's not doing poorly right now, so the EEG is not going to give you any additional information. Just like really any test, you should think, what are the possible outcomes of this test and how would those outcomes alter the care of this patient? And if no outcome is going to affect the care of the patient or give you any additional diagnostic information, then probably don't need to be doing that test. Dr Grouse: This is probably a good segue into asking, what is an area of confusion or common pitfalls that you've seen in the clinical application of EEG and epilepsy? Dr Weber: So, a lot of times on the inpatient service, we'll get longer-term EEGs for patients who are having spells that are occurrent while they're in the ICU or other places or altered in some way, encephalopathic. And these patients will have their spell, and in my report, I'll say that there is not any electrographic correlate. So, there's no EEG finding that goes along with the movement that they're doing that's concerning for a seizure. And that doesn't always mean that it's not an epileptic seizure. An EEG is not a one-hundred-percent tool. Epilepsy and seizures are a clinical diagnosis. The EEG is a helpful tool to guide that diagnosis, but it is not foolproof, so you need to take the whole clinical picture into account. Particularly focal seizures without impaired awareness often can be electrographically silent on surface EEG. If you see something that looks clinically like a seizure but doesn't show up on the EEG, there are circumstances that they get to in the paper a little bit where that can still be an epileptic seizure. And you just have to be aware of the limitations of the tests that you're ordering and always fall back on the clinical skills that you've learned. Dr Grouse: Are there any tips or tricks you can suggest to improve the clinical utility of EEG for diagnosis of epilepsy? And also thinking about the example you just gave, but maybe other cases as well? Dr Weber: Again, definitely need to incorporate EEG as part of a larger picture. The video component of EEG is incredibly helpful. You can't interpret EEG in isolation. Regardless of what the EEG shows, you can't make a diagnosis of epilepsy, but you certainly can be very suspicious of one. So, in those cases where you have a high suspicion for an epileptic seizure and the EEG has not given you any confirmatory evidence, it's really helpful to rely on any clinical expertise that you have access to. So, people who have seen lots of seizures may be helpful in that situation. Getting good recordings, good data to prove yourself one way or the other is helpful and continuing to evaluate. So usually, as I said, focal seizures that don't show up well on the EEG. People who have focal seizures will often have larger seizures if left untreated. So, you can try to admit them to an epilepsy monitoring unit where we try to provoke seizures and try to provoke a larger seizure to help confirm that diagnosis. Dr Grouse: This kind of gets into what we've already reviewed to some degree, but what is the easiest mistake to make (and hopefully avoid) when using EEG to diagnose epilepsy or make other treatment decisions? Dr Weber: I think the easiest, most common mistake I see is overreliance on the test. There's a lot of subjectivity to the interpretation of this test. There are a lot of studies out there on interrater reliability for epilepsy and intrarater reliability for epilepsy. We continue to try to make the findings more objective and get more quantified. The articles talk about our six criteria for epileptiform discharges and have reference to where that came from and the sorts of specificity that each of those criteria lead to. Just because an EEG report has said something, that does not diagnose or negate a clinical diagnosis of epilepsy. It is common for folks with non-epileptic seizures to have a history of reported epileptic form discharges on their EEG. Again, because there is some subjectivity to the test, some abnormal-looking normal variants will pop up and get interpreted as epileptiform discharges. It's important to review the whole patient, as much of the data as you can, and make the best clinical judgment you can of the overall case. Dr Grouse: What is quantitative EEG and how can it be clinically useful? Dr Weber: Now that most EEG is obtained digitally through the use of computer software, we have been able to employ computers to do a lot of the work for us. There are many different ways of looking at the EEG data, but it's all frequency bands over time. The quantitative EEG goal is really to simplify and condense what you're seeing on your normal EEG page into a more digestible format. Lets you look at a larger amount of data faster, which becomes more and more important as we're doing more of these long-term recordings, particularly in the intensive care unit. Quantitative EEG can help you assess a lot of data at a snapshot and get a general sense of what's going on with the patient over the past several hours. It does require some extra training to become familiar with it, but it's training that can be done at all levels. Again, it can help you see more, faster. Obviously, like everything, it has its own limitations. Sometimes the sensitivity and specificity may be a little off from the raw data review, and you should always go back to the raw data anytime there are questions. But it can be helpful to make things faster. Dr Grouse: Do you think you could give me a hypothetical example of a case where this would be something really nice to have? Dr Weber: The most common example is folks with repetitive seizures in the ICU. If you're just looking at the raw data, you will get a sense of how often the seizures are happening. But if you look at the quantitative data, it sort of compresses that all down to a much smaller snapshot. So you can see much more readily, yes, these are how many seizures were happening. And here's where we gave our intervention; and look, there are fewer seizures after that intervention. So, it can help you assess response to treatment, help you assess just overall volume of seizures in a much more condensed fashion, and you can get through it much faster with the appropriate training. Dr Grouse: Can you tell us about any new developments in EEG that are on the horizon we should be aware of? Dr Weber: Yeah. So, I think my two favorites, which I highlight in the article, are longer-term recordings---so, there's some companies that are working on subcutaneous EEG. So, implanted EEG electrodes that can stay in your body for the short, long term on the order of year or years and constantly send some EEG data. Obviously, it's not a full montage in most of those cases, but some EEG data that can help you assess long-term trends in epilepsy and long-term response to therapies. I think that's going to be really cool. I think it's very exciting and I think it'll change how we do clinical trials in the future. I think we'll be able to rely less on seizure diaries from folks and more on objective seizure data for patients who have these implanted. But with that will come an ever-increasing amount of data to be reviewed, which leads into the other exciting future trend is AI in the use of interpretations. AI is becoming more and more advanced and there are very exciting articles out on how good AI is getting at interpreting our EEGs. I think soon, in the very near future, the AI platforms will be able to dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes the experts to review an EEG. They'll be able to do a lot of the screening for us and then we can go back, just like I was talking about the quantitative EEG, go back and review segments of the raw data rather than having to review every page of every file, which is quite time consuming. Dr Grouse: Wow, that's really exciting. It certainly does seem like AI is making breakthroughs in just about every area of how we touch the practice of medicine. Exciting to hear that EEG is no exception. Dr Weber: Yeah, I'm fully excited. I think it's going to revolutionize what we're doing and also just greatly expand people's ability to access that level of expertise that the AI will offer. Dr Grouse: I wanted to transition to talking a little bit more about you and your career in neurology. How did you become interested in this area of neurology to begin with? Dr Weber: Yeah, it's sort of a roundabout fashion. So, I started out planning to be a neurointerventionalist, and then I realized that I didn't want that sort of call. For a hot minute in my PGI 3 year. I was planning to be a neuro-ICU doctor. I think that's largely because medicine is all I had been exposed to at that point and the ICU seemed like a very comfortable place. Then as I transitioned into PGI 3 we started doing more electives and outpatient rotations in my residency. And then I was planning on being a movement disorder specialist or an epileptologist, couldn't make up my mind for the longest time. And then I started to like EEG more than I liked watching videos. So, tilted myself towards epilepsy and haven't looked back. Dr Grouse: Well, I really appreciated you coming to talk with us today about your article. I can't recommend it enough to anyone out there, whoever treats patients with epilepsy or orders the EEGs, I just think it was just incredibly useful. And it was such a pleasure to have you. Dr Weber: Thank you very much for having me, Katie. Dr Grouse: Again, today I've been interviewing Dr Daniel Weber about his article on EEG and epilepsy, which appears in the most recent issue of Continuum on Epilepsy. Be sure to check out Continuum Audio episodes from this and other issues. And thank you to our listeners for joining today.

Abonnez-vous à ma Newsletter-> Newsletter les Voix de la Photo-> Il s'agit d'une rediffusion d'un épisode posté le 6 juin 2023.PGI in Tokyo is the second-oldest photography gallery in Japan and in this episode, the actual director of this gallery, Sayaka Takahashi explains to us the evolution of her work as a gallerist for 20 years. When she started her main thought was to attract more people to come to the gallery and now she participates in photo art airs such as AIPAD in NY, portfolio reviews and organized talks. One of her new goals is to sell the work of the artists represented by the gallery to the right institutions. I hope you will like this second episode in English! 1'30- Her studies at Waseda University in Literature with her professor and photography critic Osamu Hiraki, her work experience at the Higashikawa International Photography Festival in Hokkaido and her encounter with Hiroaki Yoshino, the director of PGI Shibaura.3'30- PGI is a gallery specializing in photography with a labo for preservation and framing. She started to work for PGI as a part-timer in 1998 and became the director in 2010. When he was 18 years old, she heard about the “Onnanoko Shashin” movement (Onnanoko means female and shashin photography) and she was inspired by these female photographers.8' – PGI opened in 1979 as a place to look at the physical print. The first commercial photo gallery in Japan is Zeit-Foto Salon which was owned by Etsuro Ishihara and PGI was the second one. The owner of the PGI studied medicine in California and met the photographer Ansel Adams here and he decided to open a gallery when he was back in Tokyo.10'- When she started as a gallerist her main thought was how to get more people to visit the gallery. They did 10 exhibitions per year, and now 6/8. They started to hold gallery talks, participate in portfolio and events to meet emerging artists, and participated in photo fairs (Tokyo Photo and AIPAD from 2013). After participating in AIPAD, now she has a new goal to place the work of the artists she works with within the right institutions. She learned a lot about photography when speaking with other dealers during AIPAD.13'34 – In 2022, she sold the work “The map” of Kikuji Kawada to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (an exceptionally large collection of negatives, contact sheets, 87 prints from 1989, plus vintage prints and a first edition from 1965 of the photographic book).15' – Another example of a project is the exhibition and the book of Tokuko Ushioda “My Husband” which were released in 2022.20'- Her pieces of advice for young gallerists are to stay curious and interested in artists and to know their works perfectly to be able to introduce their works to more people.PGI website : https://www.pgi.ac/en/Pour devenir partenaire du podcast : https://bit.ly/sponsoriserLVDLPPour vous inscrire à la newsletter du podcast : https://bit.ly/lesvoixdelaphotonewsletterLe site du podcast : https://lesvoixdelaphoto.fr/Et vous pouvez retrouvez le podcast sur Instagram, Facebook et LinkedIn @lesvoixdelaphotoLes Voix de la Photo est un podcast produit et réalisé par Marine Lefort.

Dennis and Denise have a budget-friendly show tonight, with each wine costing less than $10. Also, see if you can catch ten references to different songs.Tonight we will have a Picpoul from the South of France. This is a new wine for us. Picpoul (Pronounced peek–pool) Means "stings the lips" is grown mostly in the Languedoc in southern France around the Mediterranean. It was rewarded its own AOC in 2013, and its popularity has grown considerably in the past 15 years. This wine pairs great with seafood or spicey dishes or for a summer sipper. Our second wine is from the Columbia Valley in Washington. This is the State's largest wine region. It is an arid region that receives lots of sunshine during the growing season (more than Napa Valley). It also has some cooler weather that gives the grapes good acidity.Our final wine is a Le Grand Noir Chardonnay from France. This is a PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) wine from the Pays D'Oc. The wine is a 85% Chardonnay and 15% Viognier blend. Unlike other French wines, PGI wines are allowed to list the variety of grape. Tonight, our three wines include:2023 Foncastel Picpoul De Pinet, purchased at Trader Joe's for $8.99. Reverse Wine Snob rated it a buy. It has 13% alcohol. Mostly citrus on the nose. Lemon and lime smell. Palate is more acidic and also has some salinity. 2022 Pacific Rim Riesling, we purchased at Costco for $7.89. The wine comes from the Columbia Valley in Washington. The Wine Enthusiast rated it a 90. The grapes are picked early, so has good acid and then bottled with 25.2 g/l of residual sugar. Pairs well with with spicey Asian or Mexican food. 2022 Le Grand Noir Chardonnay. We purchased this wine from Costco for $9.99. It is made with 85% Chardonnay and 15% Viogneir. 30% of the Chardonnay spends sometime in French and American Oak. The wine maker said they wanted to make a lightly oaked Chardonnay that was drinkable alone and pairs well with food. Pair with seafood or white meats. Wine Enthusiast rated it a 92 and gave it a "Best Buy".Next week we will have something a little different. It's Denise's birthday, and to celebrate, we will have ice wine and birthday cake. The two wines we will taste include: 2023 North Wind Vidal Ice Wine. We purchased it at Costco for $19.99. NV Cooper's Hawk Lux Ice Wine that was purchased at Cooper's Hawk for $29.99.

This is the second of a two-part conversation between Steve and Brian Lord, who is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Protection Group International. Prior to joining PGI, Brian served as the Deputy Director of a UK Government Agency governing the organization's Cyber and Intelligence Operations. Today, Steve and Brian discuss the proliferation of mis- and disinformation online, the potential security threats posed by AI, and the need for educating children in cyber awareness from a young age. Key Takeaways: 1. The private sector serves as a skilled and necessary support to the public sector, working to counter mis- and disinformation campaigns, including those involving AI. 2. AI's increasing ability to create fabricated images poses a particular threat to youth and other vulnerable users. Tune in to hear more about: 1. Brian gives his assessment of cybersecurity threats during election years. (16:04) 2. Exploitation of vulnerable users remains a major concern in the digital space, requiring awareness, innovative countermeasures, and regulation. (31:0) Standout Quotes: 1. “I think when we look at AI, we need to recognize it is a potentially long term larger threat to our institutions, our critical mass and infrastructure, and we need to put in countermeasures to be able to do that. But we also need to recognize that the most immediate impact on that is around what we call high harms, if you like. And I think that was one of the reasons the UK — over a torturously long period of time — introduced the The Online Harms Bill to be able to counter some of those issues. So we need to get AI in perspective. It is a threat. Of course it is a threat. But I see then when one looks at AI applied in the cybersecurity test, you know, automatic intelligence developing hacking techniques, bear in mind, AI is available to both sides. It's not just available to the attackers, it's available to the defenders. So what we are simply going to do is see that same kind of thing that we have in the more human-based countering the cybersecurity threat in an AI space.” -Brian Lord 2. “The problem we have now — now, one can counter that by the education of children, keeping them aware, and so on and so forth— the problem you have now is the ability, because of the availability of imagery online and AI's ability to create imagery, one can create an entirely fabricated image of a vulnerable target and say, this is you. Even though it isn't … when you're looking at the most vulnerable in our society, that's a very, very difficult thing to counter, because it doesn't matter whether it's real to whoever sees it, or the fear from the most vulnerable people, people who see it, they will believe that it is real. And we've seen that.” -Brian Lord Mentioned in this episode: • ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

On National Extra Virgin Olive Oil Day, remember these key points: Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is the highest quality olive oil, made from fresh olives without chemicals. Look for “extra virgin” labels, harvest dates, and PDO or PGI certifications for quality. EVOO is rich in antioxidants and healthy fats, promoting heart health, but should be used in moderation. Store it in a cool, dark place, preferably in a dark glass bottle, to maintain freshness. Lastly, explore the diverse flavor profiles of EVOO, which can enhance your dishes.

What are those two logos we sometimes see on Italian food products? In this episode, we delve into the significance of PDO and PGI seals on European products. PDO ensures products are exclusive to specific geographic territories, preserving local traditions and quality. PGI allows for some production flexibility while still maintaining ties to a distinct area. Italy leads in protected products, using these seals to safeguard culinary heritage and guide consumers to genuine Italian delicacies.
In a new episode of the pharmaphorum podcast, Rahul Kakkar, CEO of gene editing company Tome, speaks with web editor Nicole Raleigh about programmable genomic integration (PGI) technology.

AI's increasing ability to create fabricated images poses a particular threat to youth and other vulnerable users. Tune in to hear more about: 1. Brian gives his assessment of cybersecurity threats during election years. (16:04) 2. Exploitation of vulnerable users remains a major concern in the digital space, requiring awareness, innovative countermeasures, and regulation. (31:0) Standout Quotes: 1. “I think when we look at AI, we need to recognize it is a potentially long term larger threat to our institutions, our critical mass and infrastructure, and we need to put in countermeasures to be able to do that. But we also need to recognize that the most immediate impact on that is around what we call high harms, if you like. And I think that was one of the reasons the UK — over a torturously long period of time — introduced the The Online Harms Bill to be able to counter some of those issues. So we need to get AI in perspective. It is a threat. Of course it is a threat. But I see then when one looks at AI applied in the cybersecurity test, you know, automatic intelligence developing hacking techniques, bear in mind, AI is available to both sides. It's not just available to the attackers, it's available to the defenders. So what we are simply going to do is see that same kind of thing that we have in the more human-based countering the cybersecurity threat in an AI space.” -Brian Lord 2. “The problem we have now — now, one can counter that by the education of children, keeping them aware, and so on and so forth— the problem you have now is the ability, because of the availability of imagery online and AI's ability to create imagery, one can create an entirely fabricated image of a vulnerable target and say, this is you. Even though it isn't … when you're looking at the most vulnerable in our society, that's a very, very difficult thing to counter, because it doesn't matter whether it's real to whoever sees it, or the fear from the most vulnerable people, people who see it, they will believe that it is real. And we've seen that.” -Brian Lord Mentioned in this episode: • ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

This episode is the first of two conversations between Steve and Brian Lord, who is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Protection Group International. Prior to joining PGI, Brian served as the Deputy Director of a UK Government Agency governing the organization's Cyber and Intelligence Operations. He brings his knowledge of both the public and private sector to bear in this wide-ranging conversation. Steve and Brian touch on the challenges small-midsize enterprises face in implementing cyber defenses, what effective cooperation between government and the private sector looks like, and the role insurance may play in cybersecurity. Key Takeaways: 1. A widespread, societal approach involving both the public and private sectors is essential in order to address the increasingly complex risk landscape of cyber attacks. 2. At the public or governmental levels, there is an increasing need to bring affordable cyber security services to small and mid-sized businesses, because failing to do so puts those businesses and major supply chains at risk. 3. The private sector serves as a skilled and necessary support to the public sector, working to counter mis- and disinformation campaigns, including those involving AI. Tune in to hear more about: 1. The National Cybersecurity Organization is part of GCHQ, serving to set regulatory standards and safeguards, communicate novel threats, and uphold national security measures in the digital space. (5:42) 2. Steve and Brian discuss existing challenges of small organizations lacking knowledge and expertise to meet cybersecurity regulations, leading to high costs for external advice and testing. (7:40) Standout Quotes: 1. “...If you buy an external expertise — because you have to do, because either you haven't got the demand to employ your own, or if you did the cost of employment would be very hard — the cost of buying an external advisor becomes very high. And I think the only way that can be addressed without compromising the standards is of course, to make more people develop more skills and more knowledge. And that, in a challenging way, is a long, long term problem. That is the biggest problem we have in the UK at the moment. And actually, in a lot of countries. The cost of implementing cybersecurity can quite often outweigh, as it may be seen within a smaller business context, the benefit.” -Brian Lord 2. “I think there probably needs to be a lot more tangible support, I think, for the small to medium enterprises. But that can only come out of collaboration with the cybersecurity industry and with government about, how do you make sure that some of the fees around that are capped?” -Brian Lord Mentioned in this episode: ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

In this episode, host Dr. Aaron Fritts interviews Dr. Elsie Koh about physician coaching and leadership training, including the difference between mentorship and coaching, how to break through common barriers, and how to empower yourself to realize your potential. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Medtronic AV DCB https://www.medtronic.com/avdata Reflow Medical https://www.reflowmedical.com/ --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Elsie Koh is an interventional radiologist and founder of Lead Physician, a physician specific coaching company. She trained in coaching at the Proctor Gallagher Institute (PGI), the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and received an Executive Master in Healthcare Leadership at Brown University. After working for only two years out of fellowship, she became the medical director of a surgery center. She had no experience in leadership, and due to her own insecurity and modeling after what she had seen in her medical training, she failed at this position. She was given feedback at a work event, which changed the trajectory of her career. After this occurred, she began reading self-help and personal development books. She sought out the PGI institute, and ended up training in their program to become a coach. Through this difficult experience, she realized other physicians could benefit from this type of guidance. Next, Dr. Koh explains the difference between mentorship and coaching. Mentorship is having someone tell you what to do, or modeling a behavior or career path that you want to emulate. Coaching allows a person to discover more of themselves, become aware of their blind spots, and learn what makes them unique. We discuss some of the most common barriers she sees among physicians that prevent them from seeking out coaching. She believes many hesitate because they don't believe it will work for them. Many physicians simply don't know what coaching involves and what their goals should be. Sometimes cost is prohibitive, mostly due to the fact that people are not used to investing in themselves in this way. Many physicians lack the confidence to admit they don't know how to do something, such as start a company or be a successful leader. At Lead Physician, they have the advantage of only coaching physicians, which helps clients let their guard down, because they are around like-minded thinkers. Dr. Koh likes group coaching sessions because it allows people to build off each other's inspiration, and yields greater idea sharing than one-on-one sessions. --- RESOURCES Ep. 194: Financial Basics from the White Coat Investor https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/194/financial-basics-from-the-white-coat-investor BackTable Innovation Ep 27: Physician Underdog https://www.backtable.com/shows/innovation/podcasts/27/physician-underdog Contact Dr. Elsie Koh: info@drelsiekoh.com Lead Physician: https://www.leadphysician.org Elsie Koh TED Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX19-7VRRfI
