Edens lustgård var kanske en skogsträdgård

Den mänskliga utvecklingen är en mer lekfull historia än vi föreställer oss. Det menar Johan Landgren, som guidar oss genom den moderna skogsträdgårdsrörelsen och dess uråldriga rötter. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.På ena sidan staketet – en skog. På den andra – en trädgård. Den första: vild och fri. Ibland magisk. Men också potentiellt farlig. Inte sällan beskriven som en motsats till det mänskliga. Den andra: strukturerad och nyttomaximerad. Inhägnad. Tuktad, klippt och vattenkammad. Men på senare år har den skarpa uppdelningen mellan dem börjat luckras upp. Allt fler har börjat intressera sig för ett mellanting: skogsträdgården. Jag är en av dem.Och när jag nuförtiden vandrar genom odlingarna här hemma på gården är det inte, för att låna ett uttryck från Hermans Hesses Stunder i trädgården, så mycket som ”trädgårdens herre och vaktman”. Istället går jag allt oftare med en känsla av förundran, som liknar den jag känner i skogen. Förundran över hur många olika, sinnrikt konstruerade insekter, som sökt sig hit. Förundran över blomningen, som pågår från tidig vår till en bra bit in på hösten. Och förundran över växtkraften i skogsträdgårdens olika skikt – under jord, krypande längs marken, slingrande på störar och stammar, hängande från trädens grenar. Om vartannat växer här lungrot, rankspenat, bitterkrassing. Oregano och mynta. Blåbärstry, smultron, bärhäggmispel. Piplök, gräslök, kantlök, skogslök. Plommon, persika och päron.Samtidigt börjar ett larm ljuda i mitt inre. Idyllradarn närmar sig tydligen ohälsosamma nivåer. Dags att skapa lite ordning, säger jag högt. Allt för att överrösta mina ivriga följeslagare, historiens alla herdediktare och romantiker. Vilket får mig att tänka på den ursprungligaste av idyller. I första Moseboken står det att läsa: ”Herren Gud planterade en trädgård österut, i Eden” där han ”lät alla slags träd växa upp ur marken, sådana som var ljuvliga att se på och goda att äta av”. Vilka var människorna som levde i detta paradis? De som sägs ha tagit ett bett av kunskapens frukt och därefter förvisats ut ur det. Och vilken kunskap var det egentligen de fick smak för?Ungefär 3000 år efter att denna berättelse nedtecknas, uppstår i västra England den moderna skogsträdgårdsrörelsen. Det är här Robert Hart, under 1980-talet, börjar odla mat med inspiration av lövskogen som ekosystem. Odlingsformen sprider sig snart till andra entusiaster. Till Sverige kommer den på allvar 2004, när Esbjörn Wandt och Arne Jansson anlägger Holma Skogsträdgård, i centrala Skåne.Men samtidigt som skogsträdgårdsrörelsen på många sätt är ny, är idéerna bakom uråldriga. Hart, som myntade begreppet ”forest gardening”, var till exempel tydlig med att han hämtade sin inspiration från småskaliga odlingar i de tropiska och subtropiska zonerna. Det vill säga från Afrika, Asien och Sydamerika. Han menade också att skogsträdgården har mycket gemensamt med mänsklighetens första odlingsförsök, i Mesopotamien, landet mellan floderna. Alltså floderna Eufrat och Tigris. Vilka av en händelse också är två av de floder som i första Moseboken utgör gränsen för Edens trädgård.Harts tankar bekräftas av David Graeber och David Wengrow i Början på allt: en ny historia om mänskligheten. I boken, som utgår från decennier av arkeologisk och antropologisk forskning, visar de att människans utvecklingshistoria, från att vara jägare och samlare till att driva industrijordbruk, inte varit fullt så rätlinjig som vi ofta föreställer oss. Istället för lagbunden utveckling från det enkla till det mer komplexa beskriver de en flertusenårig historia av lekfullhet, kreativitet och nyfiken pluralism, såväl gällande människans relationer till varandra som till odling.Fynden är tydliga: Det raka snitt i historien, som skildringen av Adams och Evas förvisning ur paradiset kan sägas gestalta, har inget vetenskapligt stöd. Men kanske kan det ändå finnas spår av sanning i berättelsen? Det är nämligen fullt möjligt att en plats som påminner om Edens trädgård en gång existerat, och att det var på denna plats som människan började odla. Men då inte odling som vi tänker på det idag, utan med vad Graeber och Wengrows kallar ”ett väldigt lättsamt sätt att odla grödor, där naturen får sköta det mesta av arbetet”.Det nya med skogsträdgårdar är alltså inte odlingsformen i sig, utan att erfarenheter från tropiska förhållanden nu också överförs till den tempererade zon där vi bor. Men hur fungerar det i praktiken? Idén bakom är enkel. Den utgår från frågan: Hur kan vi återskapa naturliga ekosystem som samtidigt ger ett överskott av ätliga växter och andra nyttoväxter? I det första stora verket på svenska, Philip Weiss och Annevi Sjöbergs Skogsträdgården: odla ätbart överallt, beskrivs hur detta kan ta sig uttryck:En skogsträdgårdsodlare börjar med att undersöka den lokala platsens förutsättningar, med fokus på sådant som vattentillgång, jordmån, temperaturskillnader och ljusmängd. Utifrån detta väljs vilka växter som planteras in. Viktigt att tänka på är att växterna inte ska konkurrera med varandra, utan istället dra nytta av varandras växtsätt. Därför anläggs skogsträdgårdar i upp till sju skikt, från rotväxter och lågväxande marktäckare till buskar och högväxande träd.Förutom kortsiktiga vinster, som mat, främjar skogsträdgården ett antal långsiktiga: ökad biologisk mångfald, minskad vattenåtgång och ökad kolinlagring. Till skillnad från konventionell odling, där jorden ofta ligger i full sol, samt vänds och harvas, lämnas skogsträdgårdens jord till största delen orörd. Det minskar risken för uttorkning, samt gör att rötter, svampar och mikroliv frodas. Vilket i sin tur leder till att mer av den koldioxid som fångas upp av växtligheten forslas ned under jord, där den blir kvar.Nu kanske du tänker: Borde inte alla skogar och trädgårdar då omvandlas till skogsträdgårdar? Riktigt så enkelt är det tyvärr inte. Världen behöver såväl de förra som de senare. Men utrymmet däremellan kanske inte med nödvändighet behöver bestå av hårdgjorda ytor eller höga stängsel. De skulle kanske istället, som i den agrara människans barndom, kunna ses som en lekplats? Där nya och gamla föreställningar om människans relation till varandra, andra arter och sina omgivningar får utmanas. En plats där vi kan mötas och tumla runt.När jag vandrar genom skogsträdgården här hemma på gården, är det just den känslan som överväldigar mig. Inte de enskilda detaljerna i anläggningen, utan helheten. Den organiska mångfalden. En upplevelse av att något pågår. Ett myllrande skapande.Och jag föreställer mig att det också var vad de första odlande människorna kände. De var inte enväldiga härskare över naturen, utan jämbördiga med den. Med allt som ovan och under jord var vid liv. Adams och Evas misstag var kanske inte att de åt av kunskapens frukt, utan att de bara fick smak för en sorts frukt – den som separerade dem från allt annat levande. I en skogsträdgård uppstår inte det problemet. Där dignar kunskapens frukter i varje skrymsle och vrå.Johan Landgrenpoet och litteraturvetare LitteraturDavid Graeber & David Wengrow: Början på allt: en ny historia om mänskligheten.

I'm your host, Art Dicker. Today we have the absolute pleasure of being joined by Chenchao Liu. Chenchao is the founder of SILREAL, a management consulting firm specializing in the healthcare sector [00:00:15] and fostering Sino European business exchanges.Art: Welcome Chenchao.Chenchao: Thank you, Art. Thank you for having me. Art: Yeah, we've been talking. We've been talking a few times over the last couple of years or so, and [00:00:30] it just seemed natural that we do a podcast. We've had long conversations, the two of us just talking about some of these things we're going to get into.Art: So it's, like I said, it's natural. We just record an episode about it. And, you were born in China, but you've lived in Germany for more than 20 [00:00:45] years now. And I was wondering if you could share a bit about your own kind Your own story behind the founding of SILREAL and then also help the audience understand a bit more kind of work you do to bridge the European Chinese markets in life [00:01:00] sciences.Chenchao: Yeah, thank you, Art. Thank you for really inviting me and I respect and follow your work for a while and appreciate that I could share some of my story here. Yeah, as you mentioned, yeah, I was born in [00:01:15] China in Qingdao, historical city connected to Germany. And I came to Germany when I was 13. So I went to elementary school, and I studied chemistry in Munich.Chenchao: And had very devoted concentration interested into [00:01:30] science and was very active. I high school already for Olympics and later for Mustang Institute ATH. But I realized later that due to the internship I did with consulting firms that I'm really belong to the business world.Chenchao: I [00:01:45] want to work with people. I want to be in real impact making. And yeah, so I after graduation, I went to consulting firm, I did a lot of projects for hospitals and also for private equities [00:02:00] in 2017 when I realized that I wanted to Do more things with China. I said to myself look into the mirror.Chenchao: You cannot just look like this way. It's better that you could do something content wise with the country [00:02:15] where you're from. And yeah, I started to advise some Chinese firms who come to Europe and vice versa. And yeah, and what is really entrepreneurial journey. Nobody has taught me how to build business, so really try and [00:02:30] arrow and yeah, I think it's combination of hard work, persistent and also support of others.Chenchao: We have thright and have again, some traction, have project from federal menstrual health and the state governments help some big [00:02:45] pharma like AstraZeneca. And yeah, I really want to be the bridge in life science healthcare between China and the West. Art: And can you talk a bit about some of the sort of the projects that you've worked on recently and[00:03:00] or so, some, so give the audience a really some context for some actual to the extent you're allowed to talk about it, but I know also we'll get into it.Art: You've got quite a. Number of wonderful endorsements on your websites from the projects you've worked on, but just [00:03:15] to give the audience a bit of wrap their heads around the actual kind of consulting work and so forth that you do. Chenchao: Yeah, thank you, Arthur. So basically, we have three main sectors of industries.Chenchao: We serve for health [00:03:30] care, life science and public sector. We have done digitalization project for health care providers in Germany. I helped them to modernize their 6000 employee. System of hrs and consolidate over [00:03:45] 20 entities. And also to transform how they track employee working time and management of the post recruitment retention.Chenchao: So other project we have done is really to bring [00:04:00] public and private sector together to tackle Corona diseases. To learn from each other between German China when it's come to for example, COPD. I think the strengths we can bring here is really to understand the [00:04:15] policy, understand the legal justice nature.Chenchao: But also to bridge, what does it make the difference between how Germany and China handle different disease areas. And lastly, as I mentioned for the government public sector we do [00:04:30] oftentimes delegation trips for ministry level for experts from insurance for hospital representative to really to understand how big countries like China, Israel and the U.Chenchao: S. Playing around in the [00:04:45] digitalization. And that's why I think it's very crucial especially in this age to have a active dialogue because I do think, as you mentioned, the before the trip for by the chancellor, there's this avenue of collaboration [00:05:00] is still very strong within the healthcare.Art: Yeah, let's jump into that, jump ahead into that question. The, in an ideal scenario, devoid of political barriers, and we'll get into those, maybe some of those political barriers in a 2nd, but, what are some of the [00:05:15] unique opportunities for collaboration between China and Europe in the, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology.Art: Health care services, because it seems like there's you've already hit on it a bit. There's naturally a lot of synergies. There's just by listening to some of the projects [00:05:30] you've supported so far. So without politics in the mix, what would be the, some of the more of those kind of natural synergies between between China and Europe in these sectors?Chenchao: Yeah, thank you. I think due to a large population, 1. [00:05:45] 5 billion in people in China, and it's already is the second biggest market in healthcare and pharmaceuticals and it's posed to become the biggest one but if you look at the per capital expenditure China is still lagging very [00:06:00] far behind.Chenchao: It's only around 10 percent or less, Of that expenditure per capita compared to European level. So there's a lot of to catch up and I think aging population China and also very high pressure for, [00:06:15] a younger generation birth rate. So there's a lot of issues within the society and also the plague by the chronic diseases in various forms.Chenchao: I just mentioned COPD, but there's also other ways and the cancer [00:06:30] and, uh, heart related diseases. And I think this is also very important after the COVID, like how to also in the community diseases are prevented. Measurement and the very [00:06:45] important role China can have. So I think this is really laid the ground for multinationals to really look into China and the force of their expansion.Chenchao: And despite all the attention we have touched on, I think there's a lot [00:07:00] of company. Are just announced even further and stronger presence in China, like as Seneca's new research facility in Hong Kong. In Heim also mentioned the billion of investment [00:07:15] going on. So there is still very strong sense that the market due to the high population, due to also the infrastructure because China is still at home.Chenchao: of a very strong, supplier for biosimilar and and [00:07:30] APIs for big pharmaceuticals around globe. So it's very crucial to have a healthy relationship with China to keep supply chain safe and secure. Art: Yeah, and that's actually in contrast a little bit to what's been going on in the U. S. [00:07:45] these days.Art: It's more and more Chinese companies are potentially Congress is in an election year here in the U. S., as is looking at more and more Chinese companies. And now that's extended to the bios and pharmaceutical sector as well, which is, I guess people thought might [00:08:00] happen, but maybe not so quickly.Art: So that's it seems like Europe is not it is quite different, which is I guess not surprising but that's been in the news here in the U. S. too. And it's living here in San Diego, California, where I know a lot of those, the Chinese companies and U. S. companies, [00:08:15] this is a place where they work together.Art: It's I don't know, a little bit disheartening to see that happening, but but I guess there's. Anyway, I won't get into the concerns but now that we do put let's say, we put politics to some of the tensions into the mix. How is that starting [00:08:30] at all to influence cooperation between China and Europe?Art: Like I said, China in the US, I think that's already definitely having an impact, but do you see that having an impact at all between China and Europe? Yeah, definitely. Are there are [00:08:45] big impacts. The question is like how, long term and how quantifiable other impacts. I think everything is put into perspective.Chenchao: I think compared to other industries health care amount climate are still Thank you. [00:09:00] Very strong, constructive avenue of collaboration, but I do agree with your assessment. There's a difference between US China, European China relationship, and I think underlined by the trip by Chancellor Scholz from [00:09:15] Germany with three ministers and all state secretary level people, three days.Chenchao: Very long stay. So it's a really strong signal not only to China, but to the rest of the world that we need a very strong dialogue. We need a very [00:09:30] strong, and the Stanford, even we cannot agree on everything on every issues. But I think this kind of. Very pragmatic approach that we need China also to solve major conflicts in Middle East in Ukraine, Russian conflict, [00:09:45] and others.Chenchao: I think this is just to serve, the best interests of the people who ultimately, At the say in the democracies in the West. So I think when it's come to industry politics I do believe that, of course [00:10:00] Europeans want to, have the access to Chinese market. At the same time, it's very critical.Chenchao: Look at at, also from the legislative and legal point of view, China. The IP laws, the cyber security laws, and also the [00:10:15] limitation data transfer. These are all the problems, especially also for R& D intensive industry like pharmaceuticals, biotech. And so this is a strong position for European part to get China more to create [00:10:30] a, a fair competition environment.Chenchao: So this has been a very strong agenda of the trip as well. I personally, as I said, I was organized of the delegation trip myself for the ministry level. And last year I was [00:10:45] invited for the delegation trip by the climate minister from Germany. So I do see a very strong willingness to collaborate.Chenchao: And to willingness to, to collaborate in field where common dialogue is [00:11:00] possible. And I'm very hopeful to see, and just to stay by Germany in June the economy, Mr. Habeck is going to China as well. So I do think that's within this year very crucial both to the election, as you mentioned, yes.Chenchao: [00:11:15] But also some very highly watched elections within the states in Germany. So yeah so China West relation has always been very significant. Art: Yeah, that's, I think there's, that's a great point. Look at that three days and high [00:11:30] level visits like that. And that's really, I don't think there's many other countries that do that.Art: So of course, certainly not the United States, but there's, that's that As you said, really would show a sign of commitment to the relationship and the markets [00:11:45] opportunities both ways even. And I did also read that Chancellor Schultz said that IP protection, you hit on it.Art: There is was maybe the chief concern of German companies. And I wonder if. We can get into that as a bit of a side [00:12:00] topic. Is that a is that still a concern for German companies in these sectors we've been talking about? Or is that more, let's say, in some of the traditional auto or other sectors that German companies have been also quite strong in is that I'm [00:12:15] talking about IP protection in China.Art: I know, because, of course, I practice law cross border there, and I can certainly. The audience, if they've been listening to me, know that I think that IP protection in China has gotten significantly better than it was [00:12:30] when I first started going over there. But I, like I said, Chancellor Schultz said that's still a primary concern for German companies.Art: Do you see that in your industries as well? Chenchao: I think one say it's reputation is hard to build but easy to lose, [00:12:45] right? So once you have a not very good reputation when it comes to IP protection, IP enforcement, and it's very hard to build back the reputation. I do agree on legislative level, China has already made progress and [00:13:00] had also You know enforce the law and to punish some of the companies who infiltrate the IP so I think I totally agree with your assessment, but the other hand, when it's come to all our confidence in Chinese market, when it's come to [00:13:15] IP, it is still very low slope recovery. So that's concern remains. And because there's also the effect of those high pace of regulatory changes in China, right?Chenchao: So we, we see A new laws coming in rapid [00:13:30] speed, there's no time to read, to digest, to understand the comment, not like the legislative cycles we know from the democratic system in the U. S. or in Europe, in the European Union. Everything's slower, people have time to debate, to [00:13:45] comment, and to see the final draft of the law might be totally different.Chenchao: In China, you have to really keep up the pace to understand the new laws, what is impact for the business. And I think the other very current issue art is also [00:14:00] when it's come to espionage law in China, and this has also direct. Impacting the pharmaceuticals company because the audit and the inspections for this kind of factory and sites who are [00:14:15] producing products directly for the European U.Chenchao: S. market are scrutinized. And but not in the direct way. It's just, as I said, a lot of confidence, fear of to be imprisoned, fear of to be Questions on the [00:14:30] airport that's why many inspectors are refusing to fly to China to do their audit job, which is very concerning because even there's nothing happened alone, this kind of angst, this kind of uncertainty is not very good [00:14:45]confidence for business.Chenchao: And we know if their sites and the manufacturer entities are not a certified, they are not allowed to sell products in the board. And. This doesn't only harm business, it just can harm patient's health, safety, [00:15:00] and patient care. So we really have to act fast and to come to a really good pragmatic agreement.Chenchao: So there's reinstalled the confidence. I think at the end of the day, we cannot regard business or economic ize only on paper, [00:15:15] on legal. But rather on people's perception, we have to regain the confidence we have to regain that China is a reliable partner and not just being said, not just put on paper, but lived by [00:15:30] example.Chenchao: I think this is also an effort we, both sides, need to make an effort. Art: Yeah, and I see that on the U. S. China side as well, there's a perception and, it's hard to say exactly [00:15:45] what the reality is, but there's a perception. That recently, especially that it's not safe for executives to travel to China.Art: And even the U S state department has put out a travel advisory last year about that did warning executives [00:16:00] to, from, for traveling from the U S to China that they may get questioned or may not be able to come back on the exact flight they had originally planned and so forth. So even if those concerns, or even if that's not exactly the way it is in reality.[00:16:15]Art: There's those perceptions, like you said, and that affects real business decisions and planning for investments and audits, like you said it does affect things. And I'll stick with regulations because you mentioned the anti espionage law and, a lot of that has also to do with [00:16:30] some of the.Art: The data regulations that come out, and those have also come out and been implemented very quickly and almost the regulators are trying to catch up because companies have concerns. How do I implement the PIPL in my business? And this doesn't [00:16:45] add up and this doesn't make sense. And the regulators, particularly the cyber security administration there, they've had to.Art: Been in catch up mode, I think, especially the last couple of years. So how have these regulations, of course, Europe is very in Germany, and I'm very familiar with [00:17:00] GDPR and how have these regulations for especially the PIPL in China, the data protection law, how has that affected cross border healthcare collaborations and data sharing recently?Chenchao: Yeah. Thank you, Arda. I think this is [00:17:15] very crucial questions. I think in that field is very also innovative, new, of course, the get challenged by the industries, big tech companies but the AI act, digital market act. So there's a lot of initiative [00:17:30] legislations where your European union employs to be very on the frontier of the regulation of the digital era.Chenchao: GDPR has been for a long time. I think it is very restrictive law. It's protects [00:17:45] the data very strongly, and it's also becomes even, people criticize to be very bureaucratic to be very, noisy. But somehow in the international level, it's also receives a positive [00:18:00] example set by the European Union.Chenchao: This is when it's come to China, also some positive thing to, to tell about the China because the privacy law. It has been improved, has been introduced, and also follow some of the [00:18:15]patterns by GDPR as a good leadership in that regard. But again, the law is only has its value when it's enforced, right?Chenchao: So this is a discrepancy, I think, not only a problem China faces, but in many countries [00:18:30] as well. But in that regard, China is definitely doing better. But, and also there's a concession, I think, also due to the recent diplomatic warm up that China allows data outflow again of company related data for big [00:18:45] companies.Chenchao: I think this is very important to rebuild the trust, rebuild the confidence. I think, similar to the topic of the capital outflow, very sensitive, but also very important topic. And because China need to [00:19:00] have confidence and the favorite investors and company. So I think this was the right step.Chenchao: And I do think this has to be even more in the long term to be rebalanced, renegotiated. When it comes to other legislations as you mentioned, [00:19:15] espionage law, I think in general speaking they are very, of course follow a certain pattern of, what happens in the U. S.,Chenchao: Following the 9 11 Patriot Act. So China tries also to have very strong [00:19:30]regulations and legislative, toolboxes to, to survey and also monitor citizens, companies, and to have very strong executive powers in case of unseen danger for the national security.Chenchao: But the [00:19:45] law is, it's very expensive and very widely weak interpreted. And this is also led to the suspicion and also the threat and by people who read the law just to be very hard to [00:20:00] appropriate when which case applies, which not, I think it does need more concretized formulation to make sure that, no more operations, especially in the very crucial areas in pharmaceutical [00:20:15] manufacturing are not hindered and prohibited.Chenchao: And because I think China as a nation of a modern industry is very keen to become a leadership in digital [00:20:30] health in, in, in clinical trials providers. And also to be, very strong out licensing production site. So China itself need to say a very open environment. And I think the government is more and [00:20:45] more keen to understand that it's not just do a favor for a foreign company, but more and more it's actually very imperative for China.Chenchao: For the Chinese firm to succeed on the global stage, Art: that's a good point. That's a [00:21:00] good way of putting it that, that, maybe in some ways it felt like the regulations are there to protect local Chinese companies, but at some point you don't want to keep protecting them if it means, if it prevents them from becoming globally competitive.Art: So we, and we [00:21:15] touched on the. The market opportunities a bit and some of the macro trends that are shaping the industry and the opportunity there in China. But I wanted to go back to that a bit still. There's an aging population in China and there's also a global increase in kind of [00:21:30] the health consciousness post COVID, especially in China.Art: I noticed when I was living there. So what macro trends do you believe are continuing to reshape the industry in China and pulling. Foreign companies to, to keep working there and keep looking for [00:21:45] opportunities. Chenchao: Yeah, I think China has been facing multiple fronts of challenges, right? I think the big factor you just mentioned is the COVID wave which the implication repercussions are still to be failed and to be seen [00:22:00] and to be recovered.Chenchao: And we have a lot of issues within this company and, we have very strong loss confidence in the stock market in Hong Kong. Almost two digits trailing off value was webbed out and [00:22:15]we have a problem with the company who don't want to go IPO at all. We have property market is collapsing which makes up to almost a one fifth of the GDP.Chenchao: So there's a lot of big issues within the [00:22:30] company within the country. And we have a declining population, we, the population already picked and not only that the number, but also, especially we're talking about an area in India, the population is still very young there under [00:22:45]30 where here is aging very rapidly.Chenchao: And and then also, I think this is something which people hardly want to talk about. Is, we know that the government is very powerful, where it's strong and very directive. But [00:23:00] once you come to people's reproduction the limitation is also to be observed, right? So you cannot dictate everything.Chenchao: And so it's very important to create a society and environment where people feel safe, feel protected, feel [00:23:15] supported to have children. And also to cope with the fact, okay, what do we do as government, as a society, if the birth rate is not increasing, so we have to make people more productive to make sure that we create the opportunity [00:23:30] for people, especially in the health care sector, when it comes to care nursing, I think.Chenchao: And we have a lot of things to catch up when it comes to the systematic education where already a lot of things have been, transferred and learned from the West, especially when [00:23:45] it comes to machinery and automobile, but now it's have to shift more to health care and service areas. And which is already taking place, and this is why China needs open dialogues, open collaboration [00:24:00] with us.Chenchao: It's not only just keep the markets open, but keep the people safe, keep the patients served. And this is something we have to have a longer run, longer view to make sure this is happening. I think this is a very, [00:24:15] pressing issue the Asian population. But I do think, we, we can create a system where it's also the, questions linger in the second level when it's come to the problem of who call, the residency.Chenchao: There's [00:24:30] come to the issue like universal income, and it's a very big disparity of wealth disparity of big. So this are all connected dots, when it's come to the question why people don't want to give birth, why we don't have confidence in [00:24:45] the country to thrive and So I think this is take a long run to, to rebuild everything.Chenchao: But I think it's very good start to really, to ensure very valuable and needed jobs like nursing, healthcare professionals, [00:25:00] and also to tackle the problem of youth unemployment. Art: Yeah, lots of macro challenges there. And it's you're right. The, also the government there, it takes some somewhat of, I guess you could call it like a [00:25:15] paternalistic kind of approach in some ways it doesn't, in some ways it's very hands off, maybe two hands off, but one way it does take the a very, It does get very involved, and especially compared to the U.Art: S. where, the U. S. where health care costs are pretty, pretty out of [00:25:30] control. China has this volume based pricing system to try to control health care costs as best as it can. I know I've used the public health system in China and some of the public hospitals, and I'm amazed at how inexpensive the costs [00:25:45] are.Art: Now, of course, if you're looking, if you're going into the hospitals there in Shanghai, you see they have this very expensive equipment. But they're using it at a mass production kind of scale. You use a CT scan there. It's like a factory. They're getting people in and out. [00:26:00] So I wonder for at least maybe going back to the volume based pricing that a lot of the government requires for firms, including foreign firms that are doing business there.Art: How have foreign firms, let's say from Germany or the EU how have they [00:26:15] struggled with that policy? In, in, In their market approach in China, or maybe they've just learned to adapt to it, right? Maybe it's more similar to some of the pricing policies that they've faced in Europe. The US, of course, is [00:26:30] those companies probably face less of that.Chenchao: Yeah, I think this is a very interesting and impactful for questions. And when it comes to access to healthcare providers and [00:26:45] access to the best solution, innovation and pharmaceuticals. So I think when it comes to procurement strategy, Chinese government, and this is also where you see, central government's power compared to capitalism driven forces in the U.Chenchao: [00:27:00] S. Where, 18 percent GDP are spent on healthcare, where a lot of money is spent, but the outcome is not where we, good compared to much of the cheaper system in the European Union. But when it comes to China, I think there's a lot of reforms happening, [00:27:15] for decades.Chenchao: We have different reforms of Chinese FDA to national it got products and administration. So a lot of things have been changed. And I also, over the 30 provinces in China have been also consolidated to [00:27:30] one central pricing negotiation scheme within central government, which also voice.Chenchao: It's a provincial government competing each other and to set a different level of pricing, which can not be benefiting the patient or [00:27:45] hospital system. So the power of central government negotiates on pricing is very huge. And in China, for many in therapeutic areas, we already see the lowest price.Chenchao: Globally, even lower than some [00:28:00] African countries. So China is very strong when it comes to pushing the price down over 90%. Did a deduction reduction is not a rare. So the questions as you ask, what does it mean for their foreign companies? I think [00:28:15] still many companies, of course, they fall. They say, okay, under certain price, we don't want to play anymore.Chenchao: But big names and the big companies still being not only, I think, just to be in the [00:28:30]market, to please the government, to really be not screwing in nice. It's also because a question of how long the view you took at it. So because I think big companies operating the more strategic long term in decades, not in [00:28:45] years.Chenchao: So they know that it's very important to stay within the system. And they also know the system can work against them in short term, but it can also improve in favor of them in short term. Because Chinese systems is always [00:29:00] dynamic and very flexible. And and also to be fair Chinese population is huge.Chenchao: And that's why even the price is low, even the, perfect margin percentage wise is low, but the absolute number is still [00:29:15] enormous. And I think the second point, Art, is also to mention, because we have observed a strong censorship in China, of course, but, of course, the people and patients can still access a lot of [00:29:30] information outside of China.Chenchao: And they learn and know a lot about innovation happening in China. In the pipelines and the new introduction of drugs, and they want to get it, and they want to say, Hey, why we don't have it. Why is only [00:29:45] access in the Europe and American market. It's a pressure come also from bottom, and this puts the government also in the position to even they don't want to let in maybe too many foreign drugs because they want to promote [00:30:00] the domestic brands, domestic company, also because they're expensive, they don't want to, pay from the, insurance scheme, though, but I think this is very good.Chenchao: Dynamics to help to balance the power to not [00:30:15] only one side to dictate what is sold on the market, but also to make sure and, compared to the extreme in the U. S. That only let the market a player in company to dictate the price and the scheme. So [00:30:30] I think this is what China needs, a balanced approach.Chenchao: I think Europe has a pretty good example to set when we look at Denmark, Germany where it, there's a market dictation, but also government [00:30:45] monitoring. And I think this is a way to go. Art: Yeah, that makes sense. And that's a very good point. You mentioned about it's not just necessarily a top down approach from the Chinese government that they have to be responsive to what [00:31:00]their consumers or the constituents want and they hear about drugs overseas and say, why is that not available here?Art: That's a great point. I think by this interview, you've made it very clear with the audience that this is a topic you can speak very clearly about [00:31:15] and very and a real depth. And I wonder if, 1st, I would encourage again, people to check out your company and website, this great testimonials and endorsements from the companies that you've worked with.Art: It's really impressive, very big name companies.

I'm your host, Art Dicker. Art Dicker: Today, we have the wonderful pleasure of having Ron Efron join us. Ron is the Director at Blue Ocean Security, a premium security firm offering comprehensive services including security consulting, systems integration, and security management to multinational clients throughout the Asia Pacific. Art Dicker: Ron, welcome. Ron Efron: Thank you, Art. It's good to be here. Art Dicker: Yeah, and you have a podcast of your own, which we'll give you a chance to talk about in a minute and tell us a little bit about. For the audience, what Blue Ocean Security does, what it's about, and you're relatively new, but I know you've grown quickly and had quite a lot of success right off the bat. Art Dicker: So give us a little bit of an intro about the company. Ron Efron: Sure. Blue Ocean Security is what you would call a physical security systems integrator, and we provide services that revolve around that. So what it basically means is that when you walk into a building today, you'll see electronic security components such as cameras, turnstiles, or various access locks to doors. We're essentially protecting the perimeter, the facilities, and access to those facilities in various ways. That's what we're doing for multinational clients in Asia Pacific. To be more specific, we focus on clients that take their security seriously. Not all companies prioritize security, and we specialize in those that do. We serve clients with facilities across the Pacific, and we've been quite successful at that. Blue Ocean is relatively new. We started at the end of 2018. Personally, I've been in this business since the late nineties, started my first business in Beijing, and grew that business across Asia Pacific. I sold that and exited in 2015. Then we started Blue Ocean Security with a group of my ex-employees, and myself. We decided to get back into the business because we saw that there were still opportunities. So, we got the band back together, so to speak. Art Dicker: Yeah, and like I said, you've done very well and you've expanded rapidly to different locations throughout the region. Can you, now that you've given us a nice introduction of what the company does, what are clients looking for when they're coming to you? At a high level, can you walk us through some of those chief security risks? You mentioned physical security and stuff like that, but what's often a trigger point when a client comes to you? What's usually the first thing that they're worried about? Ron Efron: First of all, we focus a lot on multinationals, primarily Fortune 500 companies that have operations around Asia Pacific. For most of these companies, they not only have concerns about security, but they also have certain standards they need to comply with—internal standards or otherwise. They generally know what their needs are and they need to tailor-make those needs to the facilities in different countries. So, they take a standard that may have originated in North America or Europe and adapt it to comply with the standards in New Delhi, Jakarta, or China. Maintaining an international level of expertise and service across Asia Pacific is really our specialty. Additionally, we merge those local risks into the design. When we start working with a client, they'll come to us with a new facility. We'll work with them to do a full design and list of equipment needed, then procure the various components and move on to installation, programming, and commissioning. Every project is different, and risks and needs vary as well. Art Dicker: How do you handle cases like the ones where, let's put it amusingly, cameras need to survive explosions? Do you ever encounter such non-routine requests and wonder where to find such specialized equipment?Art Dicker: Are you tapping into a similar set of suppliers and vendors you usually work with, or do you sometimes need to find very specialized ones, like in that example?Ron Efron: Yeah, we've been in the business for a long time, so we know where to find that. Occasionally, we have to resort to custom-made solutions. But even then, we work with suppliers who can meet the required standards. Take, for instance, explosion-proof housing for cameras. That's a very unique product type that needs to comply with specific standards. There are various levels of explosion protection, similar to bulletproof glass, with standards dictating thickness and capability.Art Dicker: We talked about this before recording, but as with any business, COVID has changed things. One of the most obvious examples is remote and hybrid working, but other aspects have been affected too, including supply chains. How has COVID impacted your industry, particularly regarding the multinational clients you serve? What changes have been most notable?Ron Efron: COVID has significantly broadened the definition of security, encompassing issues such as pandemics and business continuity planning. It's raised questions about the responsibility for employee safety when they're working remotely. Also, concerns emerged about safeguarding data when employees are working from home, ensuring the same level of security as in-office setups. There's also a growing trend around employee well-being intersecting with security. Security departments are now collaborating more closely with HR, legal, and cybersecurity teams, even occupying a seat at the C-suite table to advise on navigating this new landscape.Art Dicker: You mentioned some of the data and security aspects. Obviously, there's been a huge trend, speaking of COVID, changing the way we work and so forth. There's been a huge trend towards migrating everything to the cloud. Is that something that you've been dealing with as well with your customers and some of the security challenges there?Ron Efron: For sure. Yeah, and we can talk for hours just about this subject alone. Yes, and it is the normal evolution of technology. If you think about it on the IT side, there's already been a lot of migration to the cloud. A lot of the tools we use everything from Microsoft Office to Teams or your ERP system, be it Salesforce or NetSuite or anything else, it's already on the cloud. Security being a bit more conservative, it's just taking them longer to adapt to a lot of those cloud technologies. And that's normal. We've seen it also in the past when there is a change between analog video to digital video back in the early 2000s, for example, there's the same kind of transition process. With the cloud, a lot of it really comes down to people's perception that it is perceived to be less secure than having everything hardwired in your facility. And in most cases, that's just a perception and in most cases, that's not true. So you have to deal with that. And there's a lot of education around that as well, but we're seeing a lot of trends of companies moving more and more into the cloud. It's starting with smaller companies and slowly being adopted by those larger multinationals as well. And there's no way around that. You cannot not make that move to the cloud. We also see some real challenges, for example, like in China with the great firewall and how companies deal with that sometimes, and there's ways to deal with that, but that trend is here and it's pretty much here to stay and we embrace it. We are always recommending it or at least components or parts of security to be more cloud-based. And basically what this means is that companies can avoid having a server on their premise. Server is actually in Azure or AWS and Amazon or some other cloud facility. And another part of it is the database is maintained on the cloud. And in many cases, video is being more and more recorded and stored on the cloud as well. That's where you're seeing that.Art Dicker: Which I guess from what I'm hearing, it's all much more secure and actually than anything that server is sitting in the office is actually, it's actually a prime liability or vulnerability.Ron Efron: Exactly. So if you're a medium-sized company there's pretty much no way that your cybersecurity is a higher level than Amazon and AWS or Microsoft Azure. Or the amount of money they spend on security on their data centers. The physical security around data centers and their cybersecurity around data centers and all the tests and penetration tests and everything to do around that. There's really no way most companies can have that same level of security. And then it comes down to people engineering, right? So people try to get through that through other ways like phishing scams otherwise you can't get you. You're right. So you can't the degree of cybersecurity will never be at the same level. Therefore, and then you need to, so it is worth it to move down to the cloud from that point of view, actually more secure in many cases. It's also cheaper. And it's just becoming more and more cheaper but there's other things around cybersecurity that you can be more worried about and concerned about, and that's more around the human elements.Art Dicker: Yeah, you mentioned though that, that, it started that trend of the cloud started with small companies and that really was, AWS, right? That was why should I pay for, you pay what you use as far as software licenses and. And storage and computing power and so forth. Interesting that and I imagine security, right? People probably were educated and recognize that, um, and speaking of security, cybersecurity and data security are obviously very important and as the kind of the value of data increases what it can be used for and so forth. How has the importance of data to a company increased the demands for your business from a security perspective?Ron Efron: It depends on the company in many cases as well. So some companies, they take their data, they're more data-centric, they take that more seriously than other companies, but there are two trends here. One is the general security trend where we're seeing more and more hacking and ransomware attacks and other types of phishing attacks, which are real practical risks that companies of all sizes have to deal with on a day-to-day basis. You also have an increase in regulations and compliance needs that companies also need to be increasingly complying with. And in your world as known on the law side, on the legal side of things, we're seeing that pretty much every country in the world, everything from Europe's GDPR to China's PIPL. And so you have to have certain measures in place that have some basic safeguarding of data. So even if you're not worried about it too much, there's an increasing need to be compliant with those regulations. A third part is that if you're working with other companies that take their data seriously, if you have any contractual relationship with them, you'll likely see more and more increased incidents where there are cyber-related clauses in your contract, things that you need to do and insurance that you need to buy, and it's not cheap to have an extra layer of security there so those are all multiple forces that are pushing people to take this issue more seriously.Art Dicker: I do. And I see that in contracts. You're absolutely right and whether it's a rep and warranty or specifically calling out sys, standards that need to be met or requirements for reliability and both from the server being up and standpoint and so forth. And that's the world we live in. And maybe 10 years ago, people didn't pay nearly as much attention to it, but they do. And I wanted to I wonder in your world, how much you have to stay on top of that, right? Even maybe even thinking a step ahead, right? Regulations coming out that are starting to slowly come out, for example, on artificial intelligence or obviously, for the longest time we saw in China that, we, the legal world goes to China doesn't have a comprehensive data, data privacy law. Now it does. And we saw it coming. So I imagine that's probably a big part of what you're, you don't want to be reacting to a trend right on the regular regulatory side. So how much do you have to stay on top of that, see regulations coming out and say, Oh, that's a compliance challenge that they're gonna have to come to us for. Right.Ron Efron: Look, it's just smart business, to be honest, we want to be. Within our organization, we have people that are constantly looking at the future in terms of trends and technology. So that's one side of things like what's evolving around technology. What are things going to look like in the future? How can we be a better consultant to our customers where we're offering them a system that's. What we try to say future-proof that it won't be obsolete in a couple of years and have to buy a new one. So that's one side. The other side is, of course, the regulation side. It's not just the regulations around data, but it's also other types of regulation that any business would be interested in. But of course, we want to understand that and then be ready for the other side to your question is that it helps us to be more ready when we're being pulled in that direction by our customers as well. So when a customer comes to us and says, Hey, we're worried about this. We don't want to start stumbling over ourselves to try to answer that. We want to be ready with an answer. I said no, this is what we're seeing. This is what some of our other customers are doing that is some of our partners are are telling us, for example, in China, around the PIPL, we do have some existing relationships with some law firms that specialize in this as well, that we can refer clients to if we need to work with them together, to be honest, a lot of our larger customers, they have large legal teams in place and what we do is we help educate the security teams around that so that they are being able to work better with their internal legal departments. And when they need to put something together, that they're better prepared for that. So for example, in the security world, if you have a global database of your employees and you're, that's moving digitally between China and other countries, there are certain legal processes that you need to go through now in China with their new with their new privacy laws. So that's something that we can try to help adapt the system to better suit their needs in their specific situation.Art Dicker: And speaking of it, it certainly touches on China to some extent, but not exclusively to China. Are there sensitivities speaking of sort of personal data, one of those personal data is facial recognition, right? At least indirectly. Are there any sensitivities you've encountered with this or other emerging technologies where you're it may for your clients? And I imagine it's a sensitive issue, not just for you, but for your clients as well, where it might enhance these things from a security perspective. But again, you have to be cognizant of sensitivities around some of the data you're collecting and your system is collecting, right?Ron Efron: Yes, for sure. And again, different companies have different cultures and different backgrounds and different ways of dealing with that. Excuse me. So for example, European countries and companies are going to be more sensitive to such issues, whereas Asian companies might be less sensitive to that just culturally. And the U.S. is somewhere in the middle. We have some international schools as clients that are also very worried about that, and there are various ways of dealing with that. So the facial recognition technology is not necessarily keeping your record of people's faces. It keeps other signatures. So there are other ways to deal with that and be sensitive to people's privacy and all that. But in terms of adoption and in terms of perception, that it really comes down to those their home culture biases. In many ways, but it's, that's not the only type of technology that's out there, but it is becoming more and more widespread. Another thing is that it's not cheap. It's actually quite expensive to have facial recognition. So that's also another inhibitor to its widespread adoption, but it's just one more technology out there. Like here in Asia and Singapore, for example, the airport is full of it. You, every gate that you pass, every inspection point is done with facial recognition today. It's not done with people looking at your passport and your. You're seeing it more and more in office buildings as well. That being said, in China, it is pretty much everywhere. Oh yeah. So every visitor management system, if you go into a building and you're visiting a client or a supplier, you're going to go through a process where they scan your passport, they take a photo of you and everything, and then to get into the actual elevator bank, you have to pass through a turnstile that's probably looking at your face. And it captures that. For Chinese citizens, it's even a step more where it's all linked to their Alipay accounts and sometimes they can do a transaction just by looking into a camera without even using their phone at all, which is pretty scary.Art Dicker: You beat me to it, butRon Efron: what we are seeing though, is that some of these technologies that are in China are evolving within China and not outside of China, even to a point that we, once we approached a Chinese facial recognition product company, and they told us straight out that they're not selling outside of China, that they're just, there's not doing that market.Ron Efron: Yeah.Art Dicker: It's big enough market in China, for that anyway but yeah, maybe I can see why not.Ron Efron: That is true, but I am worried that longer term, there might be dual standards in the world. There's going to be a China standard and a global standard for various things, not just security, you see it also, there might be on communication network protocols. There might be other aspects that the China, Chinese government are going to try to have their own for various reasons.Art Dicker: Does that present a challenge for your clients? Having to be on both sides of the Great Firewall, for example, and having dual standards for things?Ron Efron: It hasn't got to the point where you need to, at the protocol level, that things are different.Ron Efron: No, I haven't seen that yet. But I think at a larger global geopolitical element, China is trying to be more of an influencer on global standards. And, due to their size, they, you can understand that, most of our customers, they're trying to be compliant with like international norms.Ron Efron: So a way you might have seen this in news recently were in the past where some CCTV products were banned in the U.S. government, at least. So that has trickled down to some companies as well. And we're not trying to push that one way or the other. If a client comes to us and says they don't want, they want to exclude certain brands from their design, that's okay. And others, that's not an issue for them. They want to see all the options. So we cater to them and based on their needs.Art Dicker: That begs the question. And to, to what extent. Obviously, because so much so many things are manufactured in China, right? What extent.Art Dicker: I'll use that extreme example, in here, and I'm sure you caught this in the port up in Long Beach. They're talking about tearing down the cranes system that I think it's a real story because of this perceived security risk with the, the operating system, essentially, for the cranes is the part or all the cranes are made in China, including that operating system, and that's seen as a national security risk.Art Dicker: So they're thinking of ripping out the cranes and replacing them with American made cranes. I don't know if America even makes those kinds of cranes for docking and transporting the things on and offshore. But that's an example of where Chinese hardware, right? Or, and I guess software as well is. is seen as less trustworthy.Art Dicker: Has that been an issue with your, with any of your clients so far?Ron Efron: Only for those specific brands that have been added to that formal list of products, that's really to the extent of it. Other than that, if a product is owned by an American company, but made in China like an Apple phone, for example,Art Dicker: we don't really see.Art Dicker: Everything is made in China, right?Ron Efron: That is changing to, to, to a degree but yes that, that's less of a concern than it just comes down to that brand and their reputation and all that. Yeah, what you touched on, who knows if that's, it could be true, is it based on true security risk or not, that might be a different question.Ron Efron: There are certain things that, it's, would be legitimate for governments to be worried about. And there are certain things that it might, there might be other interests involved, paranoiaArt Dicker: there, yeah.Ron Efron: Or other business interests, maybe there's a local crane company that that's, a benefit to getArt Dicker: that business.Art Dicker: That's hard.Ron Efron: It's harder to unpack.Art Dicker: Yeah, that's fair. Yeah. Who has lots of motivations, potentially. Um, speaking of China, and I wanted to, This is a big question, so I wanted to, to. To end on this 1 I imagine you've got a team working with a lot of multinational companies in China, but as we all know, when we talked in this podcast before there's a bit of a migration or a de risking.Art Dicker: From China. It's been there for a while. The whole China plus one strategy. But that seems to be accelerating quite a bit in the last few years, especially coming out of COVID going to Vietnam or elsewhere, especially in, those other countries where you're operating. And I wonder to what extent you're continuing to work with those clients as they move and help them with that planning from a security perspective.Art Dicker: How has that trend impacted you and your business and how you're serving your clients?Ron Efron: So the trend is definitely clear out of all the countries who work within Asia. We're seeing the least amount of growth actually in China and a lot more activity in countries like Vietnam, like the Philippines, like India, for sure.Ron Efron: Even here in Singapore and even in Japan, which kind of surprised me last year. Yeah. It's understandable due to the geopolitical sort of wins that are happening and COVID a lot of boardrooms around the world are saying, wait, we don't want to have all our eggs in one basket. We need to have some contingencies in place.Ron Efron: What if something happens again? What can we do? So due to that, you're seeing strategies where the supply chains are less centralized, in China, and it is a bit more thinking going on. On top of that, you also have their own domestic markets in Asia, also in high growth mode. So India obviously is the big, the bigger one, but Vietnam, the Philippines Indonesia, all of these are potential new markets as well for consumers, not only to manufacture, but also to sell.Ron Efron: And for example, with Apple. Not only are they starting to make phones in India, but they just opened their first Apple store in India. So if that trends continue, there'll be a lot more growth there as well. And that's also due to the government in India have changed some of their regulations around retail laws.Ron Efron: And they're a bit more pro business, or business friendly compared to the past. But the bottom line is for us, that just means more opportunities. Yeah. So companies are growing, building more facilities, building more factories around the region. And that's business that we like to help our customers with in terms of challenges.Ron Efron: It's what we know from the past that we know how to operate in Asia. So it's the normal challenges of building your capacity, hiring good people, making sure they know, how to do their job well and having all the infrastructure in place so that you can grow with your customers. The challenge that actually becomes a challenge.Ron Efron: And it's much harder than you think, like doing a project or simultaneously doing projects in Tokyo, Sydney, Jakarta, and in Bangalore is not that easy. And because you're dealing with very different environments, very different people and different challenges, but that's, No, that's what we know. And that's what we we're pretty good at actually.Art Dicker: I was going to say, that's probably, that's gotta be your advantage, right? That you can seamlessly work across different geographies like that. That's gotta be a selling point for you and a competitive advantage for you guys.Ron Efron: For sure. And then our largest competitor in this space is is my old company.Art Dicker: Yeah. So you've got, But, and I imagine too, you're also quite, you know, you're easy to open up in new markets and it's because you're, you're a private company, right? You're young in your DNA, right? You're experienced in your, in the management team, but as a company, you're young in your DNA.Art Dicker: So you're probably more, more nimble, right? I guess is what I should say.Ron Efron: I would hope so. And the fact that COVID started pretty much after, when we started our company, we were, even when we started, we had, we envisioned that would be more spread out and take advantage of the newer technologies at the time to be able to work across a region in a very efficient way.Ron Efron: And then COVID came, it just really forced that even faster upon everybody, but we were ready for that in some way. And that helped us. To even sharpen our skills further. So that we ended up coming out stronger from that. I think,Art Dicker: yeah, no, I can tell. And and I think the audits can tell just listening to you that, that, that.Art Dicker: That you're that's a challenge that's actually been good for your business and you've met that challenge.

Listen to today's podcast... Have you lost touch with an old colleague? Have you ever thought about reaching out to a childhood friend? In the ‘old' days, that would have been almost impossible and possibly very expensive. However, today, it is relatively easy to search down most people from our past. With social networks getting smaller and smaller, sometimes reaching out to past colleagues and friends can increase our sense of social connectedness and reduce our sense of isolation. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Locate An Old Friend Day. This day is about reintroducing former relations into your life, and catching up with them on what's happening in your life now, or just to take a walk down memory lane together. Gathering details, using search tools, having family and friends help: these are just some of the ways that you can find friends or colleagues. Social Media is one of the best ways to try and reconnect with old friends. But what if your old friend doesn't use social media? You can use search engines like Classmates.com, Pipl, Wink, PeekYou, and Zabasearch to track them down, with a little help of some background information like their high school, college, or town they grew up in. It can be difficult to reach out and it may feel awkward. People change. You have changed. However you might be pleasantly surprised to find out that the person you once knew is someone you like even more today! If you like today's wellness tips, let me know.

After the fourth GDPR anniversary, what's changed since its inception? And what is the best way forwards for companies to navigate the complexity? These are just a few topics that I explore with Dave Horton from Odaseva. We discuss the API challenges of backing up SaaS data, data subject access requests, and right of access. We also talk about how residency-as-a-service helps organizations navigate complex and evolving Data residency laws, e.g., PIPL in China. Finally, we discuss ransomcloud – what it is, attackers' techniques, which organizations are most at risk, and how preparation is key for organizations to protect themselves.
