What if the most powerful tool to change your life has been right under your nose this whole time — literally?This guest spent his twenties as a high-stress TV producer in New York. On paper, life looked great. Inside, he felt empty and burned out. Getting fired became his turning point. Yoga, meditation, and breathwork pulled him out, and he built a career leading wellness retreats around the world.Now in his 40s, he shares an honest story about change. After a serious back injury forced him to stop teaching yoga, he had to slow down, heal, and rethink everything. He talks about dropping his "masks," saying no to what no longer serves him, and treating your time and energy like a careful investment.His big message is simple: real change starts inside you. Feeling safe in your own body comes first. The breath is the doorway. You don't need apps or gadgets — just a few quiet minutes a day.He also explains why you can't force others to change, and why even difficult people teach us something. The episode ends with a short, calming breathwork practice you can follow along with.Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:03:04 Who Is the Guest00:08:29 Reflecting on Change and Evolution00:12:32 The Psychology of Aging00:14:14 Energy as an Investment Strategy00:18:19 Instagram, Dopamine, and Earning Rest00:23:45 Swapping Habits Instead of Quitting00:26:38 Lessons From Retreats: Self-Limiting Beliefs00:28:02 Why Feeling Safe Comes First00:31:06 The Excuse of "No Time"00:36:55 The Guest's North Star00:38:11 Breathwork: The Tool Under Your Nose00:47:49 Simplicity Over Data and Gadgets00:48:55 A Renaissance?

Smart Out-of-Band management gives IT teams secure access when the primary network is down, “The days of designing your network assuming that it's always going to be up and not fail are over,” Quirk says By Doug Green “Visibility without control is really just awareness,” says Patrick Quirk, GM of Opengear. In this Cisco Live podcast, Patrick Quirk joins Technology Reseller News to discuss how Opengear is helping enterprises rethink network resilience as AI, edge computing, hybrid cloud and cyber threats make infrastructure more distributed and more business-critical. Opengear provides Smart Out-of-Band management: an independent, secure path into critical infrastructure when the primary network is unavailable. That means IT teams can monitor, troubleshoot and restore systems even during outages, cyber incidents or other network disruptions. “The days of designing your network assuming that it's always going to be up and not fail are over,” Quirk says. The challenge is that many traditional monitoring and management tools depend on the same production network they are meant to protect. When that network fails, organizations may lose access at the exact moment they need it most. Opengear's platform is designed to preserve control, giving engineers a way to diagnose issues, reboot devices, push fixes and recover services remotely. Quirk says AI is raising the stakes. AI workloads are moving beyond centralized data centers into edge environments, regional sites and hybrid infrastructure. As a result, every connection point becomes more important. At the same time, AI-enabled threats are moving faster, increasing the need for secure, resilient recovery capabilities. For enterprises, resilience is no longer simply a backup plan. It is becoming part of the operating architecture for AI-era networks. At Cisco Live, Opengear is showing how Smart Out-of-Band management supports secure access, automation, centralized orchestration and faster recovery across distributed environments.

With over 15 years of experience spanning Insight, research, market intelligence, and voice of the customer, Jo arrives at Admiral fresh from a significant tenure at TalkTalk, where she helped build something that every Insight leader will recognise as the holy grail: a value log that quantified the real monetary impact of Insight on the business. It's the kind of initiative that doesn't just demonstrate worth; it changes the conversation entirely. Jo talks candidly about what she's learned from that experience and how it's shaped the Insight Leaders Playbook she's brought with her to Admiral, a practical framework for setting vision, building momentum, and embedding Insight where it matters most. Her approach is deliberate and structured, but what comes through just as strongly is her belief in the power of relationships. Stakeholder trust, she argues, isn't a nice-to-have; it's the foundation on which everything else is built.

Laura shares the core principles that have guided her approach throughout her career:  Understanding the unique context and needs of each organisation before reaching for new data; Tapping into the wealth of knowledge that already exists within a business;  Always, always stepping into the shoes of the consumer Get to know your stakeholders These might sound like fundamentals, but as Laura makes clear, they're the principles most easily lost under the pressure of deadlines and data. We also talk about AI, where Laura has a balanced view: she believes it opens up exciting possibilities for speed and efficiency, but she's clear-eyed about the risk of leaning too heavily on technology at the expense of the distinctly human skills – the sense-making, strategic thinking and storytelling that defines truly impactful Insight work.

Executive Protection & Modern Security Risks in a Digital World| DailyCyber 288 with Ryan Quirk ~ Watch Now ~    Modern security is no longer confined to firewalls and physical barriers. As digital exposure increases, so does the risk to executives, families, and organizations. From social media footprints to open-source intelligence, the lines between cyber, physical, and personal security are rapidly converging.   In this episode of DailyCyber, we sit down with Ryan Quirk, CEO of Sparrow Risk Group, to break down how the threat landscape has evolved—and what leaders need to do to adapt.   Episode Overview Technology over the last decade has fundamentally reshaped how individuals and organizations are exposed to risk. What was once considered separate domains—cybersecurity, physical security, and intelligence—are now deeply interconnected. This shift requires a new approach to security strategy, particularly for business owners and high-net-worth individuals who face increased visibility and targeting.   Ryan shares insights from over 20 years of experience across civilian and government sectors, highlighting how risks are identified, assessed, and mitigated in high-threat environments. The discussion explores how security must evolve beyond traditional models and into a more integrated, intelligence-driven framework.   Organizations that fail to recognize these changes often underestimate their exposure—particularly when it comes to publicly available information. Social media, corporate websites, and open-source data can all be leveraged to build detailed profiles that increase vulnerability. Ryan brings a practical lens to these challenges, outlining how leaders can begin to reassess their current posture and make informed decisions about protecting their people, assets, and operations.   The conversation also dives into how different industries face varying levels of risk depending on their visibility, access to capital, and geopolitical exposure. Not all threats are equal, and understanding where your organization stands is critical to building an effective defense strategy.   Another key theme is the growing importance of choosing the right security partner. With many firms offering overlapping services, Ryan explains what truly differentiates a capable security provider—and how clients can avoid common mistakes when selecting who to trust.   Topics covered: • Technology reshaping security risk • High-risk industries and exposure • Social media and OSINT threats • Convergence of cyber and physical security • Choosing the right security partner   Guest: Ryan Quirk — CEO, Sparrow Risk Group Host: Brandon Krieger — CEO & vCISO Advisor   Full Episode: Youtube.com/brandonkrieger Listen to the podcast: DailyCyber.ca

Together, they explore the barriers that prevent Insight professionals from sharing their opinions; barriers that emerge regularly at the IMA's Insight forums. Lack of confidence, misaligned stakeholder expectations, gaps in training, and a preference for staying in a purely technical role all play a part. And left unaddressed, they quietly limit the impact Insight teams can have. But this episode isn't just a diagnosis - it's a call to action. Jane shares practical frameworks, including the SQUAB and HERO processes, designed to help professionals develop well-grounded opinions rooted in evidence and business understanding. The conversation also tackles how Insight leaders can set the tone, creating environments where opinion formation is not just permitted but expected and celebrated. This is an episode about stepping into a bigger role, moving from researcher to consultant, from analyst to activist. Because the organisations that benefit most from Insight aren't the ones that simply receive data. They're the ones where Insight professionals feel empowered to say: here's what I think, and here's why it matters.   Please listen to find out more!   Topics Discussed The Shift from Researchers to Insight Activists (2.34) Stakeholder Expectations and Misunderstandings(6.45) Competence Issues in Forming Opinions (10.46) The Shift in Skillset: From Technical to Business Understanding (16.03) The Value of Structured Tools in Insight Work (18.12) Encouraging Conversations and Safe Spaces for Opinions (22.49)   This is episode 88 of the Transforming Insight podcast.  If you have the ambition to transform your Insight team and the role it plays in your organisation, please tune in to future episodes.

Thomas walks us through the vision that has guided his team's development — anchored in three powerful questions: Where do we play? How do we win? And how do we keep winning? It's a deceptively simple framework that has proven robust enough to carry the team through seismic shifts, from the pandemic to the age of AI. What stands out about Thomas is the clarity and ambition of his thinking. Rather than waiting for the business to come to him with questions, he champions a proactive approach — one where Insight shapes strategy, not just supports it. It's a mindset that will feel both challenging and galvanising for Insight professionals at any stage of their career. We also dig into eBay's relationship with AI, including a fascinating 30-day AI challenge that brought the whole team on the journey together. For Thomas, AI isn't simply a tool for doing things faster — it's a creative partner that can unlock new ways of thinking and working. This is a rich, forward-looking conversation full of practical wisdom for anyone who wants to build Insight functions that genuinely drive competitive advantage.   Please listen to find out more!   Topics Discussed Growth of the Insight Team over the Years (2.26) The Three Fundamental Questions for Businesses(4.42) The Shift from Function to Capability in Insights (10.17) Embracing AI: The 30 Day Challenge (13.10) The Role of Insight Leaders in Shaping Questions (21.42) Creating the Future You Want to Be Part of (24.55)   This is episode 87 of the Transforming Insight podcast.  If you have the ambition to transform your Insight team and the role it plays in your organisation, please tune in to future episodes.

Eddie takes us through how his team at Sage has shifted from traditional research cycles to a more agile, consultative model, one that keeps pace with rapid technological, political, and economic change. It's a mindset shift that will resonate with any Insight leader feeling the pressure to do more, faster, and with greater impact. We explore how AI and digital tools are transforming the Insight function in practice, with Eddie sharing real use cases from Sage, including knowledge management, conversational Insight agents, and synthetic data. He makes a compelling case for why synthetic data, when used alongside traditional methods, deserves a seat at the table and why a willingness to experiment is now a core professional competency. The conversation also looks ahead to the skills Insight teams will need to thrive: engineering, facilitation, and the ability to guide stakeholders through complexity rather than simply delivering findings. Yet for all the change on the horizon, Eddie reminds us that the fundamentals — curiosity, communication, and making sense of the complex — remain as valuable as ever.

Whether print or digital, text or image, artistic or scientific, rare or common, historic or contemporary, most of the content we encounter contains accidental mistakes—ranging from typos to factual errors to errors arising from prejudicial assumptions—and a significant proportion of it also contains deliberate misinformation resulting from various forms of forgery, fakery, and piracy. In Forgers, Fakers, and Publisher-Pirates (U Alberta Press, 2025), Linda Quirk introduces the work of notorious and lesser-known forgers, reveals the various ways in which experts and authors have faked their own identities—ranging from carefully-selected pseudonyms to falsified ethnicities to fraudulent credentials—and explores a number of shady publishing practices. We can all become better readers and better at protecting ourselves from scammers by improving our understanding of the nature of the content before us. Linda Quirk is a librarian (Bruce Peel Special Collections, University of Alberta, Edmonton) whose research and publications focus on a group of women who, in the nineteenth century, did pioneering work in various fields and whose writings helped to break down the barriers then preventing women from full participation in Canadian society.

Personal impact isn't just a quality for Insight leaders to focus on; it's something we should all consider if we want to thrive and survive in a fast-moving, rapidly changing corporate environment. And it's a critical thing for us to consider when the world of Insight as we have got used to thinking about it is unlikely to last long in its present form. Wherever you are on the AI-adoption curve, many of the skills and attributes that have given us opportunities and promotions in the past will mean less in the future. It will be all about the extent to which we can help our organisations make sense of data, apply learnings to business problems, build scenarios about future markets, and influence decision-makers to adopt the evidence-based opinions we have formed that will determine our success. And we can't do any of these unless we have developed a personal brand that helps us get invited into the room, and once in it, demonstrate sufficient personal presence that we are invited backSo how can we increase our personal impact? Please listen to find out more! Topics DiscussedThe solutions suggested so far for those who want to shape the future of Insight (3.04)The need to increase our personal impact (6.26)Being invited to the table and then earning our right to stay (8.50)But we're not natural self-publicists!

Ria's transition from traditional Insight roles into marketing and digital positions demonstrates how embracing broader responsibilities can amplify an Insight professional's influence and impact.She highlights how marketing budgets face intense scrutiny, requiring Insight professionals to demonstrate tangible commercial value using language that resonates with senior leadership rather than traditional research terminology. This shift demands that Insight teams reframe their work to clearly articulate business impact and ROI.James and Rhea also talk about AI's transformative effect on the Insight profession, with Rhea urging professionals to adapt and embrace these technologies rather than ever resist them. In her view, while AI enhances productivity and efficiency, it cannot replace the critical thinking, relationship-building, and strategic interpretation that human insight professionals provide. It's a message that serves as a call-to-action for Insight professionals to redefine their roles, demonstrate clear commercial value, and remain relevant in an evolving landscape where traditional research functions are need to evolve. Please listen to find out more! Topics DiscussedPhilosophy of Insight and team impact (2.02)The changing nature of Insight roles(5.13)Current role at Moonpig Gift Experiences (8.23)Challenges of budgeting for Insight (12.37)Language and framing in Insight communication (15.42)The future of Insight in organisations(19.30) This is episode 84 of the Transforming Insight podcast. If you have the ambition to transform your Insight team and the role it plays in your organisation, please tune in to future episodes.

In this episode, Dr. Sheila Quirk-Bailey, the recently retired president of Illinois Central College, talks with host H.M. Kuneyl about her career journey from corporate education into community college leadership, emphasizing how her Illinois-based communication and business training, paired with a practitioner-focused doctorate from Maryland, shaped her student success-driven philosophy. Among other topics, she and Kuneyl discuss the value of working across institutional silos, knowing one's "why," and pursuing leadership roles with purpose rather than for prestige.

In this episode we discuss when **Joe Quirk** recounts the turbulent history of the **seasteading movement**, detailing a decade-long struggle to establish autonomous floating societies. He describes a cycle of **political betrayals** and media hostility, ranging from abandoned agreements in **French Polynesia** to the life-threatening legal pursuit of pioneers in **Thailand**. **Quirk** emphasizes that the movement's survival depends on the power of **compelling storytelling** to overcome negative propaganda and government opposition. Despite numerous setbacks, he highlights recent progress in **Panama** and the **Maldives** as evidence of the project's resilience. Ultimately, the narrative frames seasteading as an **antifragile mission** that gains strength and global reach through every attempt to suppress it.#Seasteading #FloatingSocieties #AutonomousFloatingCities #JoeQuirk #SeasteadingMovement #FrenchPolynesia #PanamaSeasteading #MaldivesProgress #Antifragile #AntifragileSeasteading #SeasteadingResilience #FloatingFreedom #OceanLibertarianism #SeaStead #BlueFrontier #PoliticalBetrayal #GovernmentOpposition #CompellingStorytelling #OvercomePropaganda #SeasteadingSetbacksJoin our Discordhttps://discord.gg/W7cy7Tg9http://atlantisseacolony.com/https://www.facebook.com/atlantisseacolony/

It's our annual check-in with Becks Quirk, while Kris is recovering from Women's Week in P-town! Becks and Tara talk about what's changed in the last year, where they're at, what keeps them motivated, as well as Becks's reflections after Banned Books Week. Official Recommendations From Becks: Every Step She Takes by Alison Cochrun In keeping with the annual nature of her visits, Becks's official recommendation this week is another Alison Cochrun audiobook, Every Step She Takes. A bout of turbulence provokes Sadie into coming out and sharing her deepest secrets with her seat companion, Mal, only to learn they're both joining the same tour of Camino de Santiago in Portugal. Becks is a sucker for physical journeys that exhaust the body and mind, leading to revelations and change. From Tara: Ladies in Hating by Alexandra Vasti Tara's official recommendation this week is Ladies in Hating by Alexandra Vasti. Lady Georgiana Cleeve is the author of many popular novels, which helps her support herself and her mother. When Lady Darling's books are equally popular and have details that are eerily similar to Georgiana's own books, Georgiana knows she has to unmask Lady Darling. She's in for the shock of her life when Lady Darling ends up being none other than Georgiana's teenage crush. Tara loved the emotional journeys in this one and how it plays with conventions from gothic novels.
