A recent study from Carnegie Mellon University is titled "AI Agents Fail at Office Tasks Nearly 70% of the Time." Federal agencies are adopting Agentic AI for the efficiency it can deliver. Unfortunately, many do not realize that Agentic AI is prone to operational risks, ranging from technical glitches to legal complications to accidental database deletion. When Agentic AI causes problems at a federal agency, there can be lives at stake. Today, we sat down with Travis Rosiek, Rubrik's Public Sector Chief Technology Officer. During the interview, he explores the federal challenges of implementing Agentic AI, building an Agentic AI inventory, and making Agentic AI visible, auditable, and reversible. CHALLENGES Everyone —from a systems administrator to an agency administrator —knows that data must be backed up. However, very few understand that Agentic AI is a collection of agents that can be attacked, just like a database. Rubrik offers the capability to reassure users that Agentic AI can be reversed if malicious actors enter the picture. STARTING POINT Most cybersecurity professionals agree that one starts by understanding a system's apps, data, and connections. Five years ago, it was easy; getting a grasp on what Agentic AI connects to is a much more intangible concept. During the interview, Travis Rosiek unpacks Rubrik's history and its unique ability to understand complex systems. CAREFUL In a rather shocking statement, Rosiek says one should approach introducing technology with the assumption that it will fail. This is not a pessimistic approach, but a nuanced understanding of how complexities in current systems can lead to unintended consequences. Rosiek advises starting with the end goal in mind, planning for worst-case scenarios, and building trustworthy AI architectures to mitigate risks and ensure reliable operations.

This is a throwback episode from when I was just entering week 3 at Pipedream, while we are full steam ahead building the roadmap for our Partnership. I've always preached the importance of seeking advice from those who've done it before, so this week I brought in my friend and Partnership's Expert, Will Taylor to the show.Prior to hitting record, I walked Will through the Partner Canva Map we've created to give him context into what we are building.

In this episode of The Edge of Risk podcast by IRMI, host Joel Appelbaum speaks with Jim DeVoe-Talluto, assistant director of captive insurance at the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation, about what organizations need to know when applying to form a captive insurance company. Drawing on more than 2 decades of regulatory experience, Mr. DeVoe-Talluto outlines the steps applicants should expect, the most common barriers to approval, and the importance of a strong feasibility study and experienced advisers. Mr. DeVoe-Talluto also discusses Vermont's regulatory philosophy and why early planning, clarity of purpose, and strong executive buy-in significantly improve the chance of success. Whether you're exploring a first-time captive or seeking insight into regulator expectations in one of the world's largest captive domiciles, this conversation delivers timely, practical guidance directly from the source.

In this episode of the Retirement Made Easy podcast, I delve into 401(k)s: how they work, why they matter, and how to maximize their benefits. I break down the basics in simple terms, just like I always aim to do, because retirement planning shouldn't be confusing. I discuss the differences between good and not-so-great 401(k) plans, the pros and cons of keeping your money in a 401(k) versus rolling it into an IRA, and how changes in providers can impact your investment options. I also share a helpful government site for tracking down old retirement accounts and explain why Roth conversions might be worth considering. My goal is to help you take control of your financial future with clarity and confidence. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in.... (00:00) Intro. (00:27) Overview of 401(k) Plans. (01:40) Resources and Services Offered. (02:48) Deep Dive into 401(k) Plans. (05:13) 401(k) Rollovers and Conversions. (10:53) Employer Contributions and Vesting. (19:52) 401(k) Loans and Company Stock. (22:58) Mega Backdoor Roth and Final Tips. Smart 401(k) Moves: What to Know About Matching, Vesting, and Rollovers I will explain how Roth conversions can be done while you're still working or after retirement, depending on your 401(k) plan's rules. Not all plans allow them, and some require a hefty 20% tax withholding, which could be a drawback. I also break down how employer matching works (some companies offer generous matches, others offer none, and vesting schedules determine how much of that match you actually get to keep). I stress the importance of checking your vesting status before leaving a job. Then I dive into profit-sharing, which can be even more valuable than matching, but it's never guaranteed. I clarify a common misconception: rolling over funds from an old 401(k) or IRA into your current 401(k) won't earn you a match. Finally, I talk about the pros and cons of rolling old 401(k)s into either your current plan or a rollover IRA. Personally, I favor rollover IRAs for their flexibility, investment freedom, and ease of Roth conversions. Unlocking 401(k) Opportunities and Avoiding Pitfalls I caution listeners about 401(k) loans. If you retire or get laid off, that loan must be repaid quickly, or it becomes taxable. Once you leave your employer, you can't take out new loans from your 401(k) or IRA. I also touch on company stock in your 401(k); if you have a large concentration, talk to your financial planner about a tax strategy called net unrealized appreciation (NUA), which could work in your favor. Additionally, I introduce the "mega backdoor Roth," another beneficial strategy that allows high earners to contribute beyond the standard limits if their plan permits it (up to $70,000 annually). Not all plans allow this, but it's worth asking.  I also share my frustration that there's no standardized way to compare 401(k) plans across companies. The best thing you can do is request your plan summary document and review it with a fiduciary advisor. Lastly, I offer a tip: some employers let you use unused vacation or PTO payouts as 401(k) contributions, which could help reduce your tax bill. It's a smart move to look into before you retire.

What if winning isn't a destination? What if it's the quiet act of becoming slightly better than you were when the sun rose this morning? Frank Dick spent five decades asking "How do we help people see their own progress?" As British Athletics' legendary Director of Coaching, he discovered something profound. We're wired to notice missing buttons but blind to the ones that are there. His Four Rs framework (Reason, Reality, Reflection, Response) is a mindset shift in how we define growth mindset psychology. Every competition, meeting, and conversation is an invitation to ask: What did I learn? But wisdom is more than whether you reflected—it's whether you committed to doing something differently tomorrow.​​ Three frameworks for transformation: The left-side/right-side exercise: How to rewire your nervous system for positive psychology and curiosity Strength-first philosophy: Why building on what works creates better mental models than fixing flaws (neuroscience meets self-development) Emotional control in the arena: Simple techniques athletes use to ignore distractions and maintain mental strength The only competition that matters is with yesterday's version of yourself—are you ready to win that game?

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love welcomes back Rudhir “Rudi” Krishtel, former patent litigation partner at Fish & Richardson, former senior patent counsel at Apple, and now executive coach and founder of Krishtel. Rudi discusses “Overcoming Pitfalls to Becoming a Rainmaker” and shares practical insights on how lawyers can shift their mindset to grow their book of business. He explains that business development is 80% mindset and 20% skillset—most lawyers don't need more tools; they need a new way of thinking. By reframing marketing as helping, not selling, attorneys can replace fear and hesitation with purpose and authenticity. Rudi also outlines how to identify your smallest viable market—the eight to ten people or companies most aligned with your expertise—and focus all your efforts on being helpful to that group. Through strategic clarity and mindset realignment, professionals can eliminate fear of rejection, become more consistent in outreach, and build a sustainable business development playbook. Rudi concludes with three action steps: remember you're helping, define your smallest viable market, and take concrete, helpful actions toward that audience over the next 90 days.

Most companies think brand is just a logo, tagline, or color palette. The truth? That's design. Brand is who you are, how you show up, and why people choose you over everyone else. And if you don't define it, you'll blend into the noise, competing only on price.In this episode of Founder Talk, I sit down with Jason Vana, brand strategist and founder of SHFT, to unpack what brand really means and why “playing it safe” is the fastest way to kill growth. Jason explains why caring more isn't a differentiator, why “being the best” is an empty claim, and how to uncover the uniqueness in your business that truly makes you stand out.We dive into the harsh realities of LinkedIn's algorithm shift, why AI will never replace real brand strategy, and why too many entrepreneurs mistake vulnerability for authenticity. Jason also shares why building a brand is actually building a business strategy, one rooted in knowing who you are, what makes you different, and what kind of company you want to run.You'll learn:✅ Why “professional” industry jargon kills authenticity and trust✅ How to find the differentiator you don't even realize you have✅ Why brand flows through every part of your business — not just marketing✅ The danger of chasing followers or playing it safe✅ How to brand a “boring” business in a way that excites customersIf you've been searching “how to build a brand,” “brand strategy for founders,” or “how to stand out in a crowded market,” this episode delivers the no-fluff truth.Connect with JasonGuest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonvana/Guest Website: https://shft.agency/Want a behind-the-scenes look at how we run the show and the chance to ask upcoming guests your questions?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with researcher and truth seeker Kenny Plaster, whose mission is to help people reclaim their rights, question broken systems, and live freely. We dive into how distraction and division keep people focused on surface-level political battles while deeper forces shape systems behind the scenes. Kenny breaks down how legal and financial contracts work (often without our full understanding or consent) and how knowledge of our inherent rights can create real empowerment. He also explains the difference between rights and privileges, the evolution of citizenship status, and how modern systems rely on compliance more than coercion.If you've ever sensed that there's more beneath the surface of modern governance, this conversation is your invitation to look deeper, ask better questions, and stand more firmly in your own power.
