Aimé Flemm: Output Owners vs Activators — Two Product Owners Who Defined Aimé's Career Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   In this episode, Aimé reflects on two Product Owners — one who showed him what greatness looks like, and one who taught him the cost of structural malpractice. The contrast is structural as much as personal. The Great Product Owner: The PO As Activator "Our product owner was really able to persuade the larger group of 60 people and activate them." - Aimé Flemm   When Aimé's company moved to LeSS, they collapsed seven Product Owners down to four — and effectively one head PO who had to step up. "All of a sudden had this one product owner who needed to step up his game — to become this leader who's visionary, who has some kind of charisma." The structure forced the role to grow. The new PO had to lead 60 people, not five. And he did it. Not by writing more stories or shoving work harder, but by becoming an activator — visionary, charismatic, able to rally people behind a product direction. Aimé's framing: structure created the conditions for greatness. Reduce PO count, increase scope per PO, and the role has to step into real product leadership. "It doesn't happen too often that you get the opportunity to really have THE product owner in the company, and just the one."   Self-reflection Question: Does your structure give your PO room to be a leader — or does it force them to be a story-writer for one team? The Bad Product Owner: The Team-Manager-In-Disguise "What this product owner really did was just managing the team. He had the power to hire and fire, to decide on promotions, pay raises." - Aimé Flemm   Aimé's second PO ever was the opposite of an activator. He was a team manager in disguise — with full hire/fire authority and control over promotions and pay raises. He showed up about 15 minutes a week. "Just telling them, 'oh yeah, this is good, you should do this and do this,' and then he was gone for the rest of the week." What followed was textbook decay: an avoidant team, no initiative, refusing workshops and improvement work. "It became a collection of individuals, all on their own island. Just fixing their own work, just to make sure that they looked good." Aimé himself couldn't push back — his own job security ran through the same person. As Vasco named it in the conversation: these aren't product owners — they're output owners. Work-shovers. Proxies. The dynamic kills product value over time, because nobody is steering toward the customer.   Self-reflection Question: Is your PO an activator who rallies people behind a vision — or a proxy who shoves work from one inbox to another?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

A project is marked green on the tracker, the meetings are happening, and the status reports look perfect. Then, the delivery day arrives, and the end users are completely unprepared. What happened?In this premiere episode of People. Process. Progress., veteran IT PMO Director Kevin Pannell breaks down the metric trap of green dashboards and explains why your tracking tools might be hiding massive execution risks. We explore the critical gap between visibility and true human alignment, drawing on historical engineering lessons such as the Challenger disaster and applying them directly to modern white-collar leadership.You will learn why methodology cannot solve human misalignment, why data points are just proxies for reality, and how to use the weekly Stand Up audit to check your unverified assumptions.Stop confusing activity with progress. It is time to double down on the fundamentals of your people, your process, and your outcomes.Key TakeawaysThe Metric Trap: Why a green dashboard only tells you that tasks are being checked, not that your team is actually aligned on the objective.Proxies vs. Reality: Software tools show you the work; real human connection and honest conversations move the work.The Stand Up Audit: How to strip away documentation theater and test whether your stakeholders are actually ready for deployment.The Core Lesson: Visibility is what we see on a screen. Alignment is what happens when real people understand the mission, trust the process, and execute horizontal communication. Never mistake a green status slide for a successful outcome.Connect and Share: If you found value in this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share this link with a leader who needs to audit their corporate dashboards this week.

Hour 1 of the Thursday Bob Rose Show, on revelations contained in the agreement between the US and Iran ending the 2026 war. The new admission that Iran is a massive funding partner with terrorist organizations, including Hezbollah and the Houthis. Groups that Iran for decades has denied knowing or had any affiliation. Plus, all the morning's biggest stories for 6-18-26

Jonathan Schanzer critiques the rumored US-Iran deal, warning that it offers significant sanctions relief without securing nuclear concessions. He argues that the plan fails to address ballistic missiles or proxies like Hezbollah. Schanzer expresses concern that the deal grants Iran a veto over Israeli defense actions in Lebanon.

Ronald, Marco en Jelle zijn terug met DigiD, device-code-phishing, residential proxies en de vraag of AI cyberaanvallers echt onhoudbaar maakt. Eerst kort: Marco repareert tijdens een nachtwacht Home Assistant-data met Claude, Jelle bouwt met AI een lesdashboard, en Ronald rijdt in Kaapstad een fox hunt met antennes op de auto. Daarna DigiD. Staatssecretaris Willemijn Aerdts blokkeert de Amerikaanse overname van Solvinity door Kyndryl. Ronald legt uit waarom dit via de Wet ongewenste zeggenschap telecommunicatie loopt, waarom dat juridisch anders is dan VIFO, en waarom Nederland hiermee feitelijk zegt: Amerikaanse jurisdictie en CLOUD Act-risico's zijn voor DigiD te groot. Marco bespreekt RSI, recursive self-improvement, als nieuwe AI-hypeterm. Het idee: AI die zijn eigen training verbetert. De nuchtere conclusie blijft: losse stappen automatiseren lukt steeds beter, maar richting houden, controleren of iets klopt en echt autonoom onderzoek doen blijft lastig. Jelle pakt Kali365: phishing via Microsoft 365 device-code-flows. Het slachtoffer logt in op de echte Microsoft-site, maar autoriseert het apparaat van de aanvaller. Domeinchecken is dus niet genoeg als de context rond de login vergiftigd is. Het eerste hoofdverhaal: ASocks en residential proxies. Politie en NCSC verstoren een botnet met minstens 17 miljoen besmette apparaten, aangestuurd via ongeveer 200 servers in Nederland. Marco vat het scherp samen: het botnet is de infrastructuur, de residential proxy is het product. Aanvallers kopen verkeer vanaf normale thuisverbindingen in plaats van herkenbare datacenters of Tor-exitnodes. Daardoor lijken phishing, credential stuffing, DDoS en brute-force-pogingen op gewoon verkeer van echte gebruikers. Open vraag: zijn de apparaten echt opgeschoond, of vooral de aansturing geraakt? Jelle sluit af met Lennart Maschmeyers paper Deception and Detection. Maschmeyer stelt dat AI aanval en verdediging helpt, maar verdedigers structureel meer kunnen winnen: verdediging draait veel om detectie en patroonherkenning, aanval verderop in de kill chain om misleiding, context en gecontroleerde effecten. De drie zijn kritisch op zijn dwell-time-argument, maar herkennen de kern: je wilt geen autonome agent die in een vijandelijk netwerk creatief gaat improviseren. Tegelijk maakt AI aanvallers wel sneller als copiloot, codegenerator, parser van scanoutput en phishinghulp. Vooral lagere en middelmatige actoren kunnen daarmee sneller opschalen. *Bronnen* DigiD / Solvinity - NOS: https://nos.nl/artikel/2615885-staatssecretaris-verbiedt-amerikaanse-overname-solvinity-bedrijf-achter-digid - Wet OZT: https://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0045423 - Wet VIFO: https://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0046686 RSI - TechCrunch: https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/28/rsi-is-the-new-agi-and-its-just-as-hard-to-pin-down/ Kali365 - FBI IC3: https://www.ic3.gov/PSA/2026/PSA260521 - BleepingComputer: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/fbi-warns-of-kali365-phishing-service-targeting-microsoft-365-accounts/ ASocks / residential proxies - Politie: https://www.politie.nl/nieuws/2026/mei/28/06-politie-en-ncsc-halen-groot-botnetwerk-offline.html - NCSC expertblog: https://www.ncsc.nl/expertblogs/residential-proxies-en-hun-grote-impact-op-de-digitale-veiligheid-in-nederland - NCSC nieuws: https://www.ncsc.nl/nieuws/gezamenlijke-actie-politie-en-ncsc-legt-groot-botnetwerk-plat - Security.nl: https://www.security.nl/posting/938396/Proxy-botnet+van+17+miljoen+apparaten+na+actie+politie+en+NCSC+offline?channel=rss Maschmeyer / AI - CV Maschmeyer: https://www.lennartmaschmeyer.com/CV_Lennart_Maschmeyer.pdf - Paper: https://doi.org/10.1162/isec.a.398 - M-Trends 2025: https://cloud.google.com/security/resources/m-trends

Bruce Bechtol details North Korea's massive military support for Russia and Middle Eastern proxies in Rogue Allies. North Korea has supplied Russia with 20,000 containers of munitions and 60% of its artillery shells for the war in Ukraine. In the Middle East, North Korea trained Syria in chemical warfare and constructed a 45-kilometer tunnel network for Hezbollah in Lebanon. Weapons like RPGs and machine guns are also supplied to Hamas. China remains a crucial facilitator, providing the dual-use technology necessary for North Korea's robust military-industrial complex.

In this episode, we host Edmund Fitton-Brown to explore how Iran projects power beyond its borders through proxies, criminal networks, intelligence services, and deniable operations. Drawing on his experience as a former British Ambassador to Yemen and former senior United Nations expert on ISIS, al-Qaeda and the Taliban, Edmund explains why Iran's external operations cannot be understood simply through the language of “sleeper cells” or conventional state espionage.We discuss why Iran's threat model is increasingly hybrid, asymmetric, and difficult to categorise. From the Houthis' role in the Red Sea and Hezbollah's weakened but still significant position in Lebanon, to alleged Iranian-backed plots in the UK, the use of organised criminals, the evolving relationship between Iran and al-Qaeda, and the wider breakdown of international counterterrorism cooperation after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, this conversation offers a timely guide to how state-backed coercion, terrorism, proxy warfare, and organised crime now overlap.Edmund Fitton-Brown is a former British diplomat and counterterrorism specialist. He joined the UK Foreign Service in 1984 and served in several Middle Eastern and European postings, including as British Ambassador to Yemen from 2015 to 2017. He later joined the United Nations Security Council Sanctions Monitoring Team, becoming Coordinator in 2018 and leading work on sanctions and global threat assessment relating to ISIS, al-Qaeda and the Taliban until 2022. He is currently a Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Senior Advisor at the Counter Extremism Project, a RUSI Senior Associate Fellow, and co-host of the CounterPod podcast. His work focuses on Iran, terrorism, proxy warfare, Middle East security and the state-backed threats that blur the boundaries between intelligence activity, organised crime and political violence. The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

Iran's Agile Diplomacy and the Five Files: Iran is "moving the goalposts" by linking the Lebanon ceasefire to maritime negotiations. Success requires progress on five files: the Strait, nuclear program, ballistic missiles, proxies, and human rights. Some Gulf autocracies may prefer a weakened Iran over a successful democratic regime change that could threaten their own prestige. Edmund Fitton Brown (16)1680

Internal Unrest and Chemical WMD Threats: Iran is attempting to incorporate its proxies into diplomatic deals with Washington. Internally, the regime faces unrest in Baluch majority areas and economic grievances. There are alarming reports that the regime has developed aerosolized fentanyl, a chemical weapon intended to suppress domestic protesters with lethal force. Jonathan Sayeh (4)1621

The Persistence of Iranian Proxies: Iran has not "turned off" proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas, despite ongoing ceasefire talks. Bill Roggio argues that assassinating leaders is ineffective, as Hezbollah maintains significant power and a plurality in the Lebanese parliament. These groups continue to operate independently to provoke Israel and the surrounding neighborhood. Bill Roggio (2)303-1453

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up nearly 90-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 34,951 on turnover of $10-billion NT. Market optimism over prospects for a Middle East ceasefire lifted U.S. stocks, carrying the momentum into Taiwan's market today. Electronics and semiconductor indices both rose over 1-percent%, while financial stocks bucked the trend, slipping around 0.4-percent. Among heavyweight stocks, TSMC opened with a gain of 1.28-percent. And memory chip duo Winbond Electronics and Nanya Technology both climbed more than 3-percent. (NS) Potential typhoon will not affect Taiwan: CWA A tropical storm southeast of Guam is expected to strengthen into a typhoon — but the Central Weather Administration says it poses (構成) no threat to the island. The CWA says "Sinlaku" is the fourth tropical storm of the season, and is projected to continue heading north before becoming a typhoon. Forecasters say it will remain far from Taiwan and have no direct impact. Closer to home, temperatures are forecast to hit 30 degrees Celsius across Taiwan today, and foehn winds in Taitung could push temperatures above 36 degrees. The hot weather continues through Tuesday, when an arriving weather front will cool northern and central Taiwan. Conditions will otherwise remain mostly sunny and stable through Monday, with afternoon showers possible in mountainous areas. Kuwait Accuses Iran and Proxies of Drone Attacks Kuwait has accused Iran and its proxies of launching drone attacks targeting it on Thursday despite the two-week ceasefire in the Iran war. Saudi Arabia also says recent attacks damaged a key pipeline in the kingdom. The statement from Kuwait's Foreign Ministry about attacks on "vital Kuwaiti facilities" put new pressure on the ceasefire ahead of planned talks Saturday between the United States and Iran in Islamabad. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's state-run Saudi Press Agency, quoting an anonymous official, acknowledged a recent attack in the war that damaged its crucial (至關重要的) East-West pipeline. That pipeline carries oil out to the Red Sea and avoids the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran maintains a chokehold (實體控制) on despite the pause in the fighting.

AP correspondent Jennifer King reports. UK Sea Creature Fossil Not Oldest Octopus Scientists have found evidence that a 300-million-year-old sea creature previously thought to be the world's oldest octopus is actually a nautilus (鸚鵡螺) relative. University of Reading zoology lecturer Thomas Clements led the research, which found that the fossil, originally identified in 2000, had too many teeth to be an octopus. The creature, about the size of a human hand, was found in Illinois and had puzzled scientists for years, because it is much older than the next-earliest known octopus. The findings, published this week, mean Guinness World Records will no longer list the specimen (樣本) it as the earliest known octopus. That was the I.C.R.T.

As U.S. and Israeli strikes hit inside Iran, the regime is firing back outside its borders — and the war is expanding because of it. Iraqi militias target U.S. forces. The Gulf is under attack. The Houthis are back in the fight. This isn't spillover — it's strategy. Ahmad Sharawi and Bridget Toomey are back with Bill to assess Iran's expanding proxy war — and the growing risk that America is funding forces now targeting its own troops.

In this week's episode of China Insider, Miles Yu reviews the widespread scale of Xi Jinping's purges in recent weeks that extends to include China's leading weapons experts and defense science officials, and the impact these removals have on PLA military operations. Next, Miles covers the CCP's ongoing global influence campaign against western nations on the individual level, and explores how independent proxies can unknowingly further party messaging in key decision-making forums. Finally, Miles discusses the challenges faced by South Korean President Lee Jae-myung since he took office, and the his attempt to delicately balance South Korea's participation in global alliances with domestic disagreements among government officials over policy toward North Korea. China Insider is a weekly podcast project from Hudson Institute's China Center, hosted by China Center Director and Senior Fellow, Dr. Miles Yu, who provides weekly news that mainstream American outlets often miss, as well as in-depth commentary and analysis on the China challenge and the free world's future.   

Joining me today is Robert Inlakesh, here to discuss the Iran war, and the many different allegations being thrown around to justify it. Specifically, we review a White House document outlining what they frame as "The Iranian Regime's Decades of Terrorism Against American Citizens." We discuss whether or not the many allegations within the document are accurate, and if so, whether there is context that has been omitted, and how dramatically the added context can change one's perspective. We also discuss in detail the groups labeled as "Iranian proxies" and whether or not this is an accurate framing of the situation.  !function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2q643"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");   Rumble("play", {"video":"v757pei","div":"rumble_v757pei"}); Source Links: (21) Stephen McIntyre on X: "The most definitive White House statement purporting to justify the Israel-US war on Iran was its March 2, 2026 statement entitled "The Iranian Regime's Decades of Terrorism against American Citizens". https://t.co/U0e9VnGy82 After a brief editorial opening, the article lists" / X Iranian and Iranian-Backed Attacks Against Americans (1979-Present) FDD | The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (21) Zachary Foster on X: "https://t.co/VC8zv68Mht" / X The Iranian Regime's Decades of Terrorism Against American Citizens – The White House Robert Levinson: Family of American who disappeared in Iran say they believe he is dead | CNN Politics Iranian officer charged with orchestrating murder of US citizen in Iraq - ABC News (21) Grok / X (21) Grok / X New Tab Father of service member killed in Iran war said he never told Pete Hegseth to 'finish' the job Trump administration making heavy preparations for potential use of ground troops in Iran - CBS News New Tab Trump seeks swift end to Iran operation Trump: 'I don't want to do a ceasefire' in Iran war New Tab Gaza's "Board Of Peace" Seeks To Reimagine The International Order how many die from bee stings in the us everybyear - Brave Search Israeli Settlers Consistently Use Arson Attacks To Burn Palestinians Alive ISIS/al-Qaeda Was Created By The US & Israel - It's An Open Secret Robert Inlakesh Interview - The 'Steal Of The Century' & Normalizing An Openly Violent Ethno-State     Bitcoin Donations Are Appreciated: www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/bitcoin-donation (3FSozj9gQ1UniHvEiRmkPnXzHSVMc68U9f)

6. Guest Mary Kissel evaluates the ongoing conflicts in Tehran and Beirut, noting the "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to weaken Iranian proxies. Priorities include destroying nuclear capacity, opening the Strait of Hormuz, and managing rising fuel costs. (6)1648

10. Joe Truzman (SEG 10): Truzman describes the "Islamic Resistance in Iraq" as a front for Iran-backed militias launching information warfare. He discusses Houthi readiness to join the conflict and Iranian proxies attacking Jewish institutions across Europe. (11)1746

Are we in World War 3… right now? U.S. B-1 bombers striking Iranian underground facilities. Israel targeting leadership infrastructure in Qom. Iran threatening a long war and tightening control over the Strait of Hormuz. Oil tankers stranded. Missiles flying. Proxies activating. This is no longer theoretical escalation. Today we're stepping back from the noise to ask the serious question: Is this a regional conflict or the early stage of something far bigger? Let's look at the facts. ⭐️: True Gold Republic: Get The Endtime Show special on precious metals at https://www.endtimegold.com 📱: It's never been easier to understand.

Weichert explores presidential policies from Clinton to Obama, the rise of the Shia Crescent, the JCPOA nuclear deal, and Iran's strategic support for various Palestinian proxies. 3.

War widens as Israeli and US planes pound Iran and Tehran and its proxies hit back. Neil Sedaka, the singer-songwriter behind dozens of hits of the 1960s and ‘70s, dies at age 86. Midterm Mondays. 

Jonathan Schanzer, Executive Director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, discusses the massive USarmada near Iran and whether military pressure or internal protests can force the regime to negotiate on missiles and proxies. 7.1896 OMAN

THE COLLAPSE OF THE AXIS OF RESISTANCE Colleague Edmund Fitton-Brown. Fitton-Brown explains how the fall of the Iranian regime would devastate its regional proxies, including Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iraqi militias, which depend on IRGC funding and training. Without Tehran's "big brother" support, these groups would likely be forced to make accommodations with local governments. He also notes Hezbollah's role as an international drug cartel. NUMBER 141921 ALEPPO

THE OCTOPUS STRATEGY: IRAN'S PROXIES AND ISRAEL'S COUNTERATTACK Colleague Seth Frantzman. Frantzman employs the "octopus" metaphor to describe Iran as the central brain directing proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis to encircle Israel. He details Hamas's October 7 strategy: massacre civilians, seize hostages, and retreat to human shields and tunnels to await international pressure on Israel. The conversation outlines the IDF's counter-strategy, which involved cutting Gaza in half via the Netzarim corridor and systematically clearing areas from north to south. Frantzman notes the extensive tunnel network discovered in Khan Yunis, which served as a learning ground for IDF anti-tunnel operations. OCTOBER 7 WAR BY SETH FRANTZMAN NUMBER 31868 NAZARETH

 IRAN'S QUEST FOR SUPREMACY AND FUTURE NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS Colleague Brandon Weichert. Weichert discusses Iran's ultimate goal of regional supremacy, describing the regime as the "octopus brain" directing proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah to attack Israel. He notes that his book anticipated the proxy attacks that occurred on October 7. Looking forward, Weichert analyzes potential US responses, contrasting the flaws of the original JCPOA—specifically its sunset clauses which would have allowed nuclear weapons by 2025—with a potentially tougher stance under a second Trump term. The segment concludes with the grim warning that the regime may choose destruction over abandoning its nuclear ambitions. SHADOW WAR BY BRANDON WEICHERT NUMBER 41960 NASSER IN DAMASCUS

Guest: Behnam Ben Taleblu. Reports of the Ayatollah planning to flee are likely inaccurate; the regime's ideology drives it to fight rather than seek exile. Despite economic strain, Tehran continues funding proxies like Hezbollah to maintain its transnational terrorist apparatus. The regime also seeks to exploit chaos in Syria to reassert influence.
