Podcasts about readiness

Could your organization produce a complete record of everything its AI systems accessed, sent, or shared within one business day? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I welcome Tim Freestone, Chief Strategy Officer at Kiteworks, back to the podcast for his third appearance. Our conversation centers on the company's 2026 Data Security and Compliance Risk Annual Survey and the difference between buying security technology and being able to demonstrate that sensitive data is properly controlled. According to the Kiteworks research supplied for this interview, 80 percent of surveyed organizations experienced at least one security or AI related incident during the previous 12 months. Half could not produce a complete AI data access audit record within one business day. The strongest group recorded an average readiness score of 46 out of 100, while organizations with weaker security and AI governance averaged eight. Even the higher score leaves considerable room for improvement. Tim argues that technology spending can produce a larger version of the same exposure when a company lacks the people, ownership, and operating model needed to manage what it has purchased. Network, cloud, and infrastructure security still matter, but the business ultimately needs to understand what is happening at the data layer. Which identities can access a system? What actions can they take? Which records can they read, change, send, or share? We discuss why this has become harder as employees create large numbers of AI agents. A company may have 1,000 people and tens of thousands of nonhuman identities, each requiring permissions and oversight. Tim describes three connected control planes covering identity, actions, and data. Together, they offer leaders a practical way to assess whether an agent can reach information it should never see or perform an action it was never meant to take. The conversation also examines audit evidence. Tim says businesses should map regulated data types to the controls governing their use and then connect those controls with reporting. Without that connection, answering an auditor may require months of work, large consulting bills, and teams manually assembling records from disconnected systems. Ownership remains difficult because security, compliance, infrastructure, and data governance teams often work separately. Tim's view is that the CEO must orchestrate responsibility when the board is asking AI to produce higher productivity while the same systems create new data risk. That position may feel demanding, but it exposes an issue many leadership teams still need to settle: who owns the consequences when an AI agent exposes or transforms sensitive information? For board members, Tim offers two direct tests. Ask for a clear account of the company's data controls, then ask who is responsible for the associated risk. If those answers require a long explanation or several departments pointing at one another, the readiness score may matter less than the inability to demonstrate control. How quickly could your organization show who or what touched sensitive data, and who would be accountable if the record were incomplete? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts.

The USS Abraham Lincoln is coming home after a deployment that stretched past 240 days, and the bill is about to come due: mechanical failures, rations down to the emergency stores, 20,000 unfilled billets at sea, and a maintenance backlog funneling into the one carrier repair yard on each coast.

73% of business owners who say they're ready to sell are missing at least one of the two numbers required to know if a sale will actually work. In this episode, David breaks down a new data study of 10,548 business owner assessments and lays out the Readiness 360 — the three questions every owner has to answer honestly before they sit across from a buyer. Are you personally ready to let go? Is your business actually ready to be sold? And does the math even work?What You'll LearnThe two numbers every owner needs before they can know if a sale will work — and why 73% of owners are missing at least oneWhy even owners who did the homework still get bad news: 1 in 5 discover their business is worth less than they needThe “pushed vs. pulled” problem — why burnout and stress are driving more exits than actual planningWhy 25% of owners can't name a single thing they're excited about after the sale, and what that means for a dealThe eight drivers that determine whether your business survives buyer diligence — separate from how much cash it generatesTimestamps0:00 — Cold open: You've decided to sell.

Most lawyers are taught how to practice law, not how to lead people. Then one day, they are handed a team and expected to figure it out. In episode 633 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Stephanie Everett talks with Debbie Foster about leading people, the second cornerstone from their book, Be a Next Level Leader.  Debbie and Stephanie break people's leadership into four essential responsibilities: building trust, developing others, communicating clearly, and holding standards. They explain why trust grows through small, human interactions, why leaders often overload their most dependable employees, and how delegation can become a tool for development instead of a way to clear your own plate.  They also explore why teams cannot meet expectations that were never clearly communicated, how positive and constructive feedback help people grow, and why “no news is good news” is not a leadership strategy.  If you want to build a team that can take greater ownership, perform at a higher level, and succeed without relying on one overburdened A player, this episode offers a practical place to start.  Listen to our previous episodes on Law Firm Leadership, Delegation, and Building Stronger Teams.  #632: Law Firm Leadership: How to Lead Yourself Before Leading Your Team, with Debbie Foster & Stephanie Everett Apple | Spotify | LTN  #631: Tune In Before You Jump In: A Better Way to Delegate, with Shawn Vanderhoven Apple | Spotify | LTN  #616: From Solo to CEO: Letting Go of Legal Work to Grow Your Firm, with Ellen Williamson Apple | Spotify | LTN  #615: How to Stop Being the Bottleneck and Build Stronger Teams, with Debbie Foster and Stephanie Everett Apple | Spotify | LTN    Have thoughts about today's episode?

For the self still organized around avoidance, freedom can register as exposure. Removal of the external regulator often spikes activation. Familiar limitation frequently lowers it. The preference shows itself in repeated selection. A person can choose the clinician, the preacher, the partner, the teacher, or the authority whose remaining darkness matches their own. The match can feel like recognition. It can also keep both parties exactly where they already stand. Familiar wound over unfamiliar capacity appears with striking regularity. Unreadiness in the vessel leaves an opening. Figures step into that opening offering management while speaking the language of sight. When the frequency already feels known, the vessel may accept the arrangement without detecting the substitution. Recognition occurs. Contact with the indicated material does not. The false seer remains useful. The vessel remains managed. Clean pointing stays rare. A genuine pointer aims at what only the person can reach and then withdraws without claim. When the vessel cannot yet tolerate the loss of external regulation, the same pointing tends to produce conflict, rejection, or rapid return to dependence. Readiness determines whether indication can land or whether it converts into further delay. Material a person continues to refuse rarely remains private. It can appear outside as the next guide, the next lover, the next expert who will handle what still goes unexamined. People will often construct elaborate detours to avoid turning toward their own interior. Selecting a pointer who matches the current level of avoidance ranks among the more efficient of those detours. The preference for familiar containment continues to drive the selection across intimate, clinical, spiritual, and political relationships. Until that preference itself becomes visible and is no longer automatically obeyed, the field keeps supplying what the avoidance already knows how to use.

How Much Freedom Is Your Child Ready For? When should a child be allowed to stay home alone, walk to a friend's house, ride farther from home, get a phone, or spend more time without a parent nearby? There isn't one age that works for every child. In this episode of Equipped To Be, Connie Albers shares a practical framework parents can use when deciding whether a child is ready for greater independence: Range, Readiness, and Responsibility. You'll learn how to: Consider the specific freedom your child is asking for Evaluate maturity and readiness instead of relying on age alone Connect increasing freedom with demonstrated responsibility Know when protection is helping and when fear may be holding a child back Give children safe opportunities to practice judgment and independence Prepare children to make wise decisions when you aren't there Protecting children and preparing them for independence are not opposites. As children grow, wise parenting gradually shifts from making decisions for them to teaching them how to make sound decisions for themselves. Freedom should grow with demonstrated responsibility. But children also need enough freedom to practice becoming responsible.     Read the full show notes with links here: How Much Freedom Is Your Child Ready For?   If you enjoy listening to Parenting and Homeschool Advice ~ Equipped To Be with Connie Albers, please leave a review and a five-star rating.

The core structural shift highlighted is the disconnect between service reliability gains from AI automation and readiness for strategic change among IT service providers and their clients. Reports from SolarWinds, Corsica Technologies, and Deloitte reveal that AI is delivering measurable productivity benefits, but those time savings are consumed by ongoing reliability work rather than being directed toward governance, process redesign, or workforce adaptation. This leaves most organizations with improved operations but unprepared to leverage AI for broader business transformation, creating a gap between what clients say they want and what providers are set up to deliver. SolarWinds' 2026 State of ITSM report found that 84% of IT teams report AI meeting or exceeding their return on investment expectations, with teams recovering roughly three hours per week in several core areas, such as issue detection and ticket triage. However, almost the same amount of capacity is then redirected to keeping those new AI systems running—83% of teams spend three or more hours weekly maintaining AI reliability. Simultaneously, Corsica Technologies' Censuswide research among 600 IT and security leaders at U.S. mid-sized businesses found that 96% claim to trust their MSP, yet two-thirds are considering switching within 12 months, citing limited AI or automation support as one of the top reasons. Additional research contextualizes the readiness gap. According to a PwC survey, only 5% of organizations report their business processes as highly prepared for AI agents, and a Cloudera study found that 95% of large companies delayed or canceled at least one AI project in the past year due to governance, compliance, or regulatory concerns. The episode also notes a public sentiment shift, citing a Pew Research poll in which over half of American adults express more concern than excitement about AI—a trend particularly strong among people under 30. Vendor product launches from companies like Kaseya and Syncro are described as offering only superficial differentiation in this environment. For MSPs and IT leaders, this dynamic presents operational risks. The default allocation of AI-driven productivity gains toward reliability tasks undermines investment in strategic readiness, reinforcing dependence on vendor offerings without improving meaningful differentiation. Most clients lack a specific benchmark for “AI readiness,” creating an open but temporary competitive opportunity for providers willing to define and document it for them. However, unless time and resources are explicitly earmarked for readiness activities—in governance, process adaptation, and client education—MSPs risk being evaluated on ill-defined criteria or commoditized platforms, increasing contract risk and exposing gaps in internal accountability. 00:00 The Two Numbers Don't Fit  04:52 Only One Half Can Take the Hours  08:02 Everyone Buys the Same Platform 11:20 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  Pax8 TimeZest 

Before we read this story Jesus told, I want you to do something. I want you to see it. Don’t just read the words on the page. Step into the story. Picture the wedding. Picture the bride. Picture the bridesmaids. Picture the anticipation of the groom’s arrival. To really understand what Jesus is saying, we need to understand a little about Jewish weddings in His day. There were several important stages in the Jewish wedding process. First came the arrangement. The families were involved in establishing the marriage, and there were formal agreements and financial arrangements that made the commitment serious and binding. Then came the betrothal. This was far more significant than what we think of as an engagement today. The couple was legally committed to one another. Promises were made. A covenant was established. And then came the waiting. This is where I want you to really picture the scene. The groom would leave and return to his father’s household because he had work to do. He was preparing a place for his bride. He was getting everything ready for the day they would finally be together. But the bride wasn’t sitting around doing nothing. She had work to do, too. She was preparing herself. Preparing her clothing. Preparing for the celebration. Preparing for her new life as a wife. And here’s the part that makes this story so beautiful: She didn’t know exactly when he was coming back. She knew he was coming. She just didn’t know when. So imagine waking up every morning thinking, Could it be today? Imagine hearing a noise outside and wondering, Is that him? Imagine living in a constant state of anticipation because you know the one you’ve been promised to is coming for you—but you don’t know the day or the hour. And then, one night… The announcement comes. The groom is coming! The bridesmaids grab their lamps and rush out to meet him. Their job is to join the procession, light the way, and lead the groom back to the wedding celebration where the bride is waiting. This wasn’t a quiet little ceremony. It was a celebration. A procession. A moment everyone had been waiting for. And Jesus begins His story with ten bridesmaids who are all waiting for the exact same thing: The groom is coming. But here’s the problem… Not all ten of them are ready. And that’s where Jesus wants us to lean in. Matthew 25: 1-14: (A few terms to know – bridesmaids are as they are today, the bride’s attendants. The bridedroom is the groom, the man getting married.) Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. The five who were foolish didn't take enough olive oil for their lamps, but the other five were wise enough to take along extra oil. When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. At midnight they were roused by the shout, ‘Look, the bridegroom is coming! Come out and meet him!' All the bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps. Then the five foolish ones asked the others, ‘Please give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out.' But the others replied, ‘We don't have enough for all of us. Go to a shop and buy some for yourselves.' But while they were gone to buy oil, the bridegroom came. Then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was locked. Later, when the other five bridesmaids returned, they stood outside, calling, ‘Lord! Lord! Open the door for us!' But he called back, ‘Believe me, I don't know you!' So you, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return. Oh dang. What happened here? What is this warning for us today? The bridesmaids had a job to do. They were supposed to be ready for the groom. But half of them weren’t prepared. And here’s what gets me: they were all there. They were in the right place. They were waiting for the right person. They knew the groom was coming. They even had lamps. But half of them didn’t have what they needed when the moment came. And when the groom finally arrived, there was no time left to get ready. The moment they had been preparing for this entire time was suddenly here—and they weren’t ready for it. Because they weren’t prepared, they missed the celebration. They weren’t rejected because they didn’t know about the groom. They weren’t left out because they weren’t invited. They were left out because they weren’t ready. PEOPLE, GET READY! So who is Jesus talking about? Who is the groom? Who is the bride? Who are the bridesmaids? And what is this wedding feast? The groom is Jesus. Earlier in Matthew, Jesus refers to Himself as the bridegroom. When people ask Jesus why His disciples aren’t fasting, Jesus answers: “Can the wedding guests mourn while celebrating with the groom?” (9:15) Jesus is telling them, The Groom is here. But He also tells them that there will be a time when the groom will be taken away. He will leave. And that’s exactly what happens. Jesus is crucified, resurrected, and then ascends to the Father. The Groom leaves—but He has promised to come back. And that puts us right into the story. The bride is the Church—the people who belong to Jesus. Jesus is preparing a place. Jesus will return. And Scripture ultimately describes His return as a wedding celebration—the great wedding feast of the Lamb. Revelation 19:7, “Let us be glad and rejoice… for the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself.” So where does that leave the bridesmaids? That’s us. In this story Jesus is telling, ten bridesmaids represent people who are waiting for Jesus. And notice something important: All ten were waiting. All ten had lamps. All ten knew the groom was coming. All ten expected to be part of the celebration. But only five were prepared. That’s the warning Jesus is giving us. You can be around the things of God and still not be ready for God. You can know the stories. You can go to church. You can carry a Bible. You can sing the songs. You can call yourself a Christian. You can even be waiting for Jesus. But Jesus isn’t asking, “Are you around Me?” He’s asking, “Are you ready for Me?” Because eventually, the waiting will end. The Groom is coming. And when He comes, there will be no more time to prepare. So Jesus says: “Keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.” People, get ready. The question wasn’t “Do you believe in the one who is coming?” The question was, “Are you ready for him when he comes?” Jesus wants us to LIVE READY FOR HIM! Here’s what this is really about – THE OIL. The 5 bridesmaids without oil weren’t invited to the wedding feast. The 5 bridesmaids with oil couldn’t give them their own oil, each had to have oil for themselves. You need your own oil. What is this oil – this is your relationship with Jesus. Others can do many things for you, but no one can have your relationship with Jesus for you. You can’t live on someone else’s faith. When it’s wedding time, your own faith will be required. This faith relationship will be required when Jesus returns for us – and you simply don’t know when that day will be. It could be today! So how do we live ready? Because Jesus isn’t telling us this story so we can become obsessed with predicting when He’s coming. He’s telling us so that we’ll be ready whenever He comes. And that’s a very different thing. Living ready doesn’t mean living scared. It means living surrendered. It means waking up every morning and saying, “Jesus, if You have something for me today, I’m available.” If You say go, I’ll go. If You say stay, I’ll stay. If You say forgive, I’ll forgive. If You say surrender, I’ll surrender. If You say speak, I’ll speak. If You say be quiet, I’ll be quiet. Readiness isn’t perfection. Readiness is responsiveness. The wise bridesmaids prepared before they needed to be prepared. They didn’t wait until midnight to go looking for oil. They had been preparing while they were waiting. And that’s what our relationship with Jesus is supposed to look like. You don’t wait for the crisis to learn how to trust Him. You don’t wait for the heartbreak to learn how to surrender. You don’t wait for the temptation to decide what you believe. You don’t wait until you’re desperate to start praying. You fill your lamp while there’s still daylight. You spend time with Jesus now. You learn His Word now. You practice obedience now. You surrender the little things now. You deal with the unforgiveness now. You say yes to His invitations now. Because you don’t know when Jesus is returning – but you need to be ready. And here’s the beautiful thing: The wise bridesmaids weren’t ready because they were afraid the groom might come. They were ready because they were excited that he might come. That’s how I want to live. Not terrified that Jesus might return. Thrilled that He will. I don’t want to spend my life hoping Jesus doesn’t come back until I’ve had a chance to do everything I want to do. I want to live so close to Jesus that when I hear the announcement: “The groom is here!”, I don’t want to run and hide. I want to run toward Him. The question for God’s girls today is, “Am I living like someone who expects Jesus?” If Jesus walked through that door today, would you be excited to see Him? Or would you immediately think of the things you’d wish you had made right? Why are you waiting? The goal isn’t to spend your whole life trying to figure out when Jesus is coming. The goal is to live every day as though you would be thrilled if He came today. PEOPLE, GET READY. Keep your lamp burning. Keep your heart soft. Keep saying yes. Keep walking with Jesus. Keep your relationship with Him alive and growing. Because the groom is coming. And when He comes, I don’t want to be scrambling to get ready. I want to already be ready. I want to be able to lift my head, see Jesus, and say: “I’ve been waiting for You.” Follow Pamela on Instagram – https://instagram.com/headmamapamela Or Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/pamela.crim Find out more about BIG Life – http://biglifehq.com

Richard Entrup is unusual in quantum circles: he's not a physicist, and he doesn't pretend to be. He spent decades as a CIO, CTO, CDO, and CISO at organizations including Verizon, Christie's, Disney/ABC, Time Warner, and Tiffany & Company before joining KPMG to lead its Emerging Solutions practice. That background — deep operational experience on the client side — shapes everything about how he thinks about quantum. He's not selling a hardware roadmap; he's thinking about what it actually takes to get a large, complex organization to change its cryptographic infrastructure before a threat materializes.The conversation matters now because the signals are accelerating. NIST has finalized its first post-quantum cryptography standards, executive orders in the US are pushing federal agencies toward PQC migration, and the algorithmic efficiency gains that reduce the qubit threshold for breaking RSA-2048 keep coming. Listeners who work in enterprise technology, cybersecurity, or quantum strategy — or who advise organizations that do — will find Entrup's practitioner perspective a useful counterweight to the more hardware-focused conversations that dominate the field.What We Get IntoWhy Q-Day's exact date is the wrong question — and why the more important issue is how long it will take enterprises to even inventory their cryptographic exposure, let alone remediate itThe scale of the cryptographic migration problem, including why a single laptop may contain hundreds of individual cryptographic components and why upstream/downstream API dependencies make this a supply-chain-wide challenge, not just an internal IT projectWhy "harvest now, decrypt later" creates urgency today, regardless of when fault-tolerant quantum computers arrive — and how compliance and regulatory timelines interact with that threat modelWhat crypto agility actually means in practice — moving from a "set it and forget it" cryptographic posture to a dynamic, continuously monitored framework, including the pressure SSL certificate renewal windows are already creatingHow KPMG built its PQC practice, incubated it within the firm, and handed it off to the cybersecurity advisory team as a core service offeringThe "good quantum" side of the ledger — how KPMG's emerging research function is approaching quantum computing as a source of competitive advantage, not just risk, and what sectors are furthest along in exploring itThe AI-quantum convergence, including Entrup's observation that AI is already being used to read and crack code — and what that means for the urgency of cryptographic modernizationWhy the enterprise quantum opportunity still has a long tail, and how the current moment compares to the early infrastructure phase of the internet — when everyone was talking about TCP/IP and DNS, not Uber or NetflixResources & LinksGuest & OrganizationRichard Entrup — Worth Magazine Profile — Career arc from CIO/CISO roles at major global brands to KPMG's Emerging Solutions practiceKPMG Quantum Dawn (2025) — KPMG's enterprise quantum readiness hub, introducing the Q-PREP framework and PQC implementation services, with Entrup as named leadReports & ResearchKPMG — "The Quantum Threat Is No Longer Theoretical" (2026) — The threat brief discussed in this episode, charting the rapid decline in qubits needed to crack RSA-2048 and urging immediate PQC migrationKPMG — "From Theory to Impact: Real-World Results in Quantum Machine Learning" (2026) — KPMG's joint report with IBM and Kipu Quantum on measurable quantum ML results on real hardwareKPMG — "Prepare Now for Quantum Cyber Risk" — Board Leadership Article (2026) — C-suite and board-level guidance on integrating quantum risk into enterprise oversightarXiv — "Quantum-enhanced satellite image classification" (2026) — The underlying research paper behind the KPMG/IBM/Kipu Quantum ML resultsEcosystem & EventsChicago Quantum Exchange — KPMG Joins CQE (October 2024) — Announcement of KPMG's formal CQE membership, referenced in the episode as part of the firm's ecosystem-building strategyKPMG 2026 Quantum Consortium — The inaugural KPMG Quantum Consortium event (March 2026, Orlando) discussed in the episodeIndependent CoverageQuantum Computing Report — KPMG joins Chicago Quantum Exchange (2024) — Independent coverage of KPMG's CQE partnership and enterprise quantum strategyQuantum Zeitgeist — Kipu Quantum satellite imagery coverage (Feb 2026) — Independent analysis of the KPMG/IBM/Kipu hybrid QML resultsKey Quotes & Insights> "It's not if but when.

When life hits you with grief, disorientation, or feeling utterly forsaken by God, prose often falls short. The Book of Psalms gives us a sacred language to pour out our hearts—whether we are crying out "Help!", singing "Thanks!", or standing in awe of "Wow!" Summary: In this inspiring study of Psalms 1–48, we step out of historical analysis and into the sanctuary of the heart. Often called the "Preface of Jesus Christ," the Psalter offers a timeless collection of prayers, hymns, and prophecies that directly mirror the Savior's life, death, and resurrection. Music as a Lowest and Highest Gear: We explore how David's music soothed Saul's troubled soul and why singing the "song of the heart" is recognized by the Lord as a form of pure prayer. Tree Planted by the Waters vs. Chaff: We analyze Psalm 1, contrasting the deep-rooted disciple who meditates on God's law day and night with the wind-blown "chaff" of ungrounded philosophies. Psalms of Disorientation: We look at David's raw, unfiltered prayers during his lowest moments—such as fleeing from his son Absalom in Psalm 3—and discover how to hold onto hope when family relationships fracture. The Crucifixion Blueprint: We step into the agonizing Messianic prophecies of Psalms 21 and 22, discovering why Jesus uttered the opening line of Psalm 22 ("My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?") while hanging on the cross. The Good Shepherd & The Temple Gate: We savor the poetic imagery of Psalm 23 and the temple entrance requirements of Psalm 24 ("clean hands and a pure heart"). Be Still and Know: We conclude with the quiet sanctuary of Psalms 46–48, learning how to slow down, disconnect from constant distractions, and find Zion in our daily lives. Call-to-Action: The monk John Cassian counseled his brothers to recite the Psalms not as the words of David, but as "your very own prayer."

Bad hires cost advisory firms upwards of three times salary in direct and indirect costs. But the real issue isn't always the person, it's the system. When firms grow fast and operate under pressure, they hire quickly without clear role definition, leading new hires to navigate confusion, tribal knowledge, and conflicting expectations. Ray Sclafani explores why onboarding cannot be a first-day checklist in advisory firms where work is technical, judgment-dependent, and outcomes matter. The solution is building a better receiving system before the candidate arrives, starting with role clarity.In this episode, you'll learn the eight-question framework, the 100-Day Role Clarity Map, that separates successful hires from failed ones. You'll also discover why structuring the first 100 days into three distinct phases dramatically improves outcomes, how to assign decision rights without confusion, and why your employee value proposition is as critical as your client value proposition. By the end, you'll have a practical template to use before your next hire and coaching questions to lead your leadership team through the design process.This framework applies to advisory firms of all sizes and maturity levels, and it's grounded in research from Korn Ferry and SHRM that shows structured onboarding directly correlates with retention, performance, and firm growth.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODEThe true cost of a bad hire and why good hires in confused systems fail faster than bad hires in clear onesThe eight critical questions every role must answer to ensure successWhy decision rights are non-negotiable and how to assign themHow to structure the first 30, 60, and 100 days into measurable milestonesThe connection between employee value proposition and retentionTHE 100-DAY ROLE CLARITY MAPWhy does this role exist? (Purpose and problem it solves)What outcomes define success? (Not activities, outcomes)What decisions can this person make? (Independent, approval, escalation)Who are the key relationships?

Send us Fan MailPeaches and Trent sit down with returning guest Marc Esposito and Henry Penix from Soaak for a deep dive into sound frequency compositions, sleep, nervous system regulation, and the future of human performance.Marc explains how retirement led him into the human performance space, working with universities, the military, academia, and industry to help optimize the human weapon system. He also explains why he was initially skeptical of Soaak, why the science started making sense, and why he was willing to put his reputation behind it.Henry breaks down how Soaak uses clinically tested sound frequency compositions instead of generic YouTube frequency tracks. The goal is not magic, not crystals, not woo-woo nonsense — it is using targeted frequencies to help with sleep, anxiety, depression, nervous system reset, low energy, recovery, and performance.The team gets into why sleep is the foundation of human performance, how wearable data from devices like Whoop, Garmin, Oura, Fitbit, Apple Watch, and Samsung Watch can help guide frequency recommendations, and how Soaak is building AI-driven personalized frequency compositions based on what your body is showing in the moment.Marc also talks through his own testing, including using Soaak after brutal threshold work in Texas heat and dropping his heart rate from nearly 190 beats per minute to 80 in about 15 minutes. The conversation also covers stress load, allostatic load, sympathetic and parasympathetic states, PTSD-like symptoms, recovery, family life, and why operators have to learn how to come down after living in fight-or-flight mode for years.This episode is not saying sound frequencies replace hard work. They do not. But if something can help you sleep better, reset faster, recover harder, and show up more functional for your team and your family, that is worth paying attention to.Use code ONESREADY at Soaak.com.Links:- Soaak.com / Promo code: ONESREADY- OnesReady.com- OperatorTrainingSummit.com- ATACLETE / Promo code: ONESREADY- Modern Athlete Strength Systems / Promo code: ONESREADYChapters:00:00 - Intro and Ones Ready01:05 - Soaak Episode Preview02:45 - Marc Esposito and Henry Penix Join03:07 - Marc's Retirement and Human Performance Work05:13 - Why Marc Took Soaak Seriously06:34 - Sound Frequencies Are Not New07:36 - Operators, Sleep, and Coming Down From Fight-or-Flight08:05 - Why White Noise and Apps Matter09:15 - Wearables, Data, and What to Do With It10:17 - Henry's Background and Why Soaak Exists12:46 - From Clinic Modality to Sound Frequency Compositions13:33 - Sympathetic Resonance Explained15:03 - Sleep as Soaak's Most Used Frequency16:02 - Targeting Sleep, Anxiety, Depression, and Reset16:50 - How Frequencies Are Built and Tested20:35 - Why Frequency Effects Make Sense22:06 - Marc's Central Nervous System Reset Testing23:18 - Heart Rate Recovery After Brutal Work24:26 - Performance, Recovery, and Free Chicken25:26 - Hypervigilance, Family Life, and Coming Home Normal27:07 - From 188 Beats Per Minute to 8029:21 - General Minihan and Sleep Efficiency32:33 - Sleep as the Foundation of Performance33:23 - Dual Audio and Listening in the Background35:27 - Getting Frequency Effects Without Extra Equipment37:43 - Military Compliance and Group Use38:23 - Sleep Without More Pills39:43 - Wearable Integration and AI Personalization43:05 - Brain Maps, PTSD, and Long-Term Support43:58 - Neurofeedback-Type Effects46:06 - One Percent Better Adds Up46:49 - Studies, Sleep Records, and Frequency Library49:12 - Stress-Related Doctor Visits49:49 - Epic Fury, Stress, and Mental Health Evacuations51:41 - Readiness, Lethality, and Allostatic Load54:07 - Teaching Young Warfighters to Regulate55:11 - The Rubber Band Stress Analogy57:25 - Frequencies Underwater59:45 - Tinnitus, Earbuds, and Meeting People Where They Are01:01:11 - Soaak Code for Ones Ready Listeners01:02:04 - Use Code ONESREADY01:02:54 - Tinnitus and Frequency Use01:03:38 - Final Links and Wrap-UpSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Post-quantum cryptography was in conversation after conversation at Black Hat USA 2026, yet Larry Lunetta of HPE walked part of the show floor and counted a single reference to quantum. Where the topic shows up, and where it does not, says something about who is expected to solve it. Why does a problem described in 1994 matter now? Larry Lunetta points to Peter Shor, who asked what would happen to RSA if a different kind of computing technology existed. What changed since then is the trajectory. Five years ago cryptographically relevant quantum computing looked like a 10 to 15 year phenomenon. Larry Lunetta now puts it as soon as three years out, with the original algorithm improved, qubit hardware advancing, and classical supercomputing pulling the timeline in alongside it. The exposure starts before any of that arrives. Larry Lunetta describes harvest now, decrypt later, where an attacker collects RSA-encrypted data today and waits for the machine that can open it. Data that carries no consequence when it leaks this year can be read later, which puts long-lived information like identity records and medical data at the front of the queue rather than in a later phase. HPE puts a three part journey in front of customers. Cryptographically aware asks which data is most sensitive, where it lives, and whether it is protected sufficiently. Cryptographically planning reaches into the refresh cycle, so that new network, server, and storage purchases already implement PQC-relevant algorithms. Cryptographically nimble accounts for the fact that no cryptographically relevant quantum computer exists to test against yet, which makes the ability to change algorithms and firmware quickly part of the design. Who owns the conversation inside the business? Larry Lunetta puts the CISO at the center of gravity, with CIOs becoming aware and boards engaged where GDPR governs customer and private information. His advice for security leaders is to broaden the conversation toward infrastructure and operations, and to make encryption and PQC readiness a question asked during procurement rather than after it.

Ellen Boehm, Senior Vice President Strategy and AI Innovation at Keyfactor, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness in critical infrastructure organizations. A recent Executive Order on PQC installed a December 2030 deadline for federal agencies to transition high-value systems and key generation to PQC. The EO also directs CISA, other federal sector risk management agencies to assist with road map development. In this episode, Ellen discusses readiness in this context. She also delves into how critical infrastructure organizations overseeing fleets of cyber-physical systems (CPS) assets transition those environments and avoid disruptions. Governance, budgeting, supply chain management, and the AI-driven threat landscape are also discussed. This episode was recorded during the Black Hat USA Conference. Subscribe and listen to the Nexus Podcast here.

Everyone has read about how much productivity AI can have for federal applications. That allure can lead you into a situation where you may not be as prudent as you should be. Today, we sat down with Jamie Holcomb, COO of Electrosoft, and Steve Riley, VP and Field CTO of Netskope, to better understand how to balance the promise of AIAI with practical application in the federal government. Steve Riley has looked at federal technology projects, and he thinks that the government must get out of their pilots and into operations, measuring results and impact that is meaningful to the taxpayer. They highlight the rapid advancements in AI, noting that government agencies struggle to keep pace with commercial innovation. Riley thinks agents are great for gathering, assimilating, and assessing information.  It is probably not time for them to have independent agency. A survey reveals that 78% of federal leaders believe AI tools should be managed like users or devices within zero trust frameworks. Only 31% of federal IT leaders have high visibility into public AI tools. Because of Jamie Holcomb's experience at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, he thinks success comes down to action, not architecture.  From his view, agencies need timely intelligence connected directly to operational decisions. The conversation emphasizes the need for federal agencies to balance innovation with security, particularly in predictive AI and zero trust strategies, and to prioritize AI discovery and integration.  

What if the answer to feeling stuck isn't more motivation, more discipline, or more pressure?On this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Shemaiah Reed sits down with Kohila Sivas, educator, researcher, founder, and creator of Wholistic SuccessCodes™, to explore why readiness may be the missing piece behind learning, personal growth, and sustainable success.Kohila shares how an overwhelmed nervous system can impact focus, memory, behavior, motivation, and our ability to move forward.

What happens when a client does not achieve the results they expected from coaching, and how much responsibility should the coach carry? Clients invest time, money, trust and emotional energy into coaching because they want something to change. Yet there is an important contradiction at the heart of coaching: clients seek results, but coaches cannot guarantee them. In this episode, we explore where responsibility for coaching outcomes really sits. As coaches, we are responsible for the quality of the coaching process, the relationship we create and the skills we bring. The client remains responsible for their choices, actions and engagement with that process. We discuss why client readiness, willingness and capacity matter, and how chemistry conversations can help us establish whether a coaching relationship is the right match. We also explore the importance of defining a realistic coaching goal, particularly when the outcome depends on decisions made by other people, such as receiving a promotion or securing a new role. During our conversation, we reflect on what can happen when a coach becomes overly attached to the client's progress. We may begin working harder than the client, offering advice, trying to rescue them or steering the conversation towards the outcome we want for them. This can diminish our curiosity, weaken the coaching relationship and contribute to coach burnout. Client results are not always immediate or easy to measure. Sometimes the most meaningful outcomes are internal: trusting yourself again, stepping away from people pleasing or recognising that a role no longer aligns with your values. These changes may not have been part of the original goal, but they can still represent significant progress. Ultimately, effective coaching is a partnership. We cannot control the client's results, but we can create the conditions in which meaningful change becomes possible. Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction to coaching and client results 00:41 The contradiction between selling and guaranteeing results 02:47 Time, money, trust and emotional investment 05:02 Preparing clients to engage fully in coaching 06:06 Choosing clients who are the right match 08:08 Clarifying realistic coaching goals 10:23 Recognising unexpected and less visible results 11:27 Reframing outcomes outside the client's control 13:25 The risks of carrying responsibility for client progress 15:49 Ego, pride and the fear of not being good enough 17:09 Sharing client results ethically through stories and testimonials 17:42 Helping clients maximise the value of coaching 20:50 How high-quality coach training supports better outcomes Key Lessons Learned: Coaches are responsible for facilitating a high-quality coaching process, while clients retain ownership of their choices and actions. Readiness, willingness and capacity are important indicators of whether a client is positioned to benefit from coaching. Clear contracting helps clients understand what coaching requires and where responsibility sits. Coaching goals should focus on elements the client can influence, rather than outcomes controlled by other people. Regular progress reviews are more effective than waiting until the final session to evaluate results. Meaningful coaching outcomes may be internal, gradual or different from the client's original goal. Becoming overly attached to results can lead coaches to rescue, advise or work harder than their clients. Coach supervision provides a valuable space to explore pressure, fear, ego and concerns about client progress. Testimonials and client stories can communicate the possibilities of coaching without claiming ownership of the client's achievements. High-quality coach training enables practitioners to challenge patterns, explore obstacles and create stronger conditions for change.

Rev Sam Bostock speaks on two points about Gospel Readiness. Isaiah 52 vs 7 - 12; Ephesians 2 vs 11 - 18; Ephesians 6 vs 14 - 15.

Sometimes you truly need more information, more time, or more nervous system regulation before you can make a decision. But sometimes “I don't know what to do” means something deeper: you know more than you are ready to admit, you do not like your options, or you are waiting for a perfect solution that does not exist. In Part Two of this guided coaching series, Lora Cheadle walks you through the Stages of Change and helps you identify how ready you really are to move forward. You will explore the difference between needing more information and postponing action, why uncertainty feels unsafe, how fear of making the wrong choice keeps you frozen, and what it means to become the protagonist in your own life.   Top 3 Takeaways Not knowing and not liking your options are not the same thing. Sometimes you genuinely need more information, legal advice, financial clarity, time, or evidence of sustained change. Other times, you already know what is true but are not ready to face what that truth may require. Readiness can be supported, even when it cannot be forced. The Stages of Change—precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance—help you identify where you are without shame. Instead of asking what is wrong with you, ask what would help you become more ready. The perfect solution does not exist. Every meaningful choice contains uncertainty, consequences, gains, and losses. The goal is not to find the option with no downside. It is to make the most honest, self-honoring choice available and trust yourself to respond as new information emerges.   Favorite Quotes “Sometimes you're not stuck because you lack options. You're stuck because none of the available options are perfect.” “Maturity is not finding the option with no downside. It's deciding which truth, which consequence, and which responsibility you are willing to live with.”   About Lora Lora Cheadle, JD, CHt is a former attorney turned betrayal recovery coach, hypnotherapist, and author who helps women rebuild their identity and reclaim their power after infidelity and profound emotional betrayal.

Episode Summary:What does it really mean to be prepared? Is preparedness about stockpiling supplies, building bunkers, and expecting the worst—or is it something much simpler? In a world where convenience has made many people dependent on systems they rarely think about, how can we build the confidence, capability, and resilience to care for ourselves and the people we love when life becomes unpredictable?In this compelling episode of Apogee Strong, host Matt Beaudreau sits down with survival instructor and preparedness expert Kevin Estela to redefine what readiness truly means. Rather than promoting fear or worst-case scenarios, Kevin shares a practical philosophy centered on developing everyday skills, cultivating awareness, and becoming the kind of person who can confidently respond to challenges instead of waiting for someone else to solve them.Kevin Estela is a survival instructor, author, and lifelong student of preparedness. A former high school history teacher turned professional outdoorsman, he has field-tested survival gear across multiple continents, authored two respected books on wilderness skills, and has appeared as a guest on hundreds of podcasts. Through years of teaching outdoorsmen, military personnel, families, and everyday citizens, Kevin has developed a practical approach to preparedness rooted in capability rather than fear. His message is simple: readiness isn't about building bunkers or expecting disaster—it's about quietly developing the skills, mindset, and confidence to take care of yourself and those who depend on you.Key Quotes:"Readiness is more important than preparedness because readiness requires awareness, preparedness, and willingness.""Every single day you can measure yourself against the version of yourself from the previous day.""You don't need to become an expert overnight, but you do need a path of self-improvement."Key Takeaways:Readiness is built on three essential pillars. Kevin explains that true readiness isn't simply owning the right equipment—it requires awareness of your surroundings, preparedness through practical skills and tools, and the willingness to act when circumstances demand it. Developing all three creates confidence that extends far beyond survival situations.Commit to becoming better every day. Inspired by lessons from his father and the philosophy of the "24-hour clone," Kevin encourages listeners to measure progress against yesterday's version of themselves. Small, consistent improvements in knowledge, physical ability, relationships, and mindset compound into extraordinary capability over time.Preparation starts with practical everyday habits. Instead of focusing on extreme scenarios, Kevin recommends beginning with simple, accessible steps like carrying a flashlight, learning first aid, organizing emergency supplies, storing clean water, and developing skills that solve common problems. Small habits practiced consistently build confidence and resilience.Conclusion:Preparedness isn't about living in fear—it's about living with confidence. Throughout this conversation, Kevin Estela reframes survival as a lifestyle of continuous learning, personal responsibility, and quiet competence rather than extreme preparedness. By embracing lifelong growth, developing practical skills, and cultivating awareness, willingness, and discipline, anyone can become more capable of handling life's unexpected challenges. Whether it's carrying the right everyday tools, preparing your family for emergencies, or simply striving to become a better version of yourself each day, Kevin reminds us that readiness is ultimately measured not by what we own, but by who we become. 

Donald Trump and his former cable news weekend co-host defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, are reportedly fighting over who is to blame for wasting U.S. military resources and depleting the U.S. weapons stockpile on Trump's inexplicable war on Iran. Hegseth reportedly blamed his deputy. Rep. Pat Ryan, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, joins to discuss Trump's foolhardy prosecution of the war. Donald Trump's brazen corruption is so much a part of his political identity that it has become an election issue unto itself. And when Senator Tim Scott tries to gaslight the American public into believing Trump is a model of ethics, or when JD Vance tries to pretend prosecuting fraud is an important priority of his, Trump's corruption only makes them look ridiculous. Rep. Ro Khanna joins to discuss. Mitch Landrieu and Jennifer Palmieri discuss the shifting politics in the American South. Stacey Abrams joins to talk about resurrecting the protections of the Voting Rights Act. To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

Episode 300, sis!

Could Jesus return in our generation? More importantly, how should Christians live while waiting? In this message, Pastor Brian Gunter continues through the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24:45–51), unpacking Jesus' parable of the faithful and wicked servants. Rather than encouraging speculation about dates, Jesus calls His people to faithful obedience, gospel proclamation, wise stewardship, and readiness for His return. Christians are to labor faithfully—building families, churches, institutions, and nations under Christ's lordship—until the Master comes.Scripture: Matthew 24:45–51Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

Episode Overview After serving nearly 30 years in pastoral ministry, Mary Selzer found herself emotionally drained from carrying responsibility for everyone's problems. Everything changed when she discovered coaching. In this conversation, Mary shares how coaching gave her permission to stop rescuing people who weren't ready to change and instead invest in those who were. Along the way, she and Brian discuss why coaching creates healthier ministry, stronger relationships, and more responsible disciples. Based on the transcript you shared. Key Ideas & Takeaways 1. Ministry Burnout Often Comes from Carrying Too Much Mary felt responsible for solving everyone's problems. She often became more passionate about people's change than they were. That mindset led to exhaustion and diminished her joy in ministry. 2. Coaching Restored the Joy of Ministry Learning the distinction between counseling and coaching was a turning point. Coaching focuses on helping relatively healthy people move forward. Mary realized she had been investing most of her energy in people who weren't ready to change while overlooking those who were. 3. Not Everyone Wants to Change Coaching gave Mary permission to stop feeling obligated to help everyone. Ministry became healthier when she focused on people who were willing to grow. She and her husband discovered a complementary partnership: he naturally served as shepherd and spiritual director while she coached those ready for forward movement. 4. Coaching Teaches People to Think for Themselves Mary intentionally taught people how to be coached. People who had become dependent on others gradually developed confidence and ownership. Coaching produced greater responsibility and independence instead of unhealthy dependence. 5. Maybe "Uncoachable" Isn't the Right Word Mary questions whether people are truly uncoachable. Perhaps many are simply not ready for coaching yet. Readiness often begins when someone recognizes that something in life needs to change. 6. Coaching Requires Psychological Safety Brian suggests people become coachable when they believe they will be heard. Growth happens when people trust that their ideas and decisions will be respected rather than overridden. Coaching flourishes in environments where people feel safe to think out loud. 7. Building Up Rather Than Holding On Reflecting on Ephesians 4, Brian contrasts two approaches to ministry: Constantly rescuing people who are hanging on. Intentionally building people up into maturity. Coaching aligns with the biblical vision of helping people grow rather than simply survive. Memorable Quotes & Ideas "I became more passionate for people's change than they were." "Coaching restored my love for ministry." "Not everybody wants to be helped. Not everybody wants to change." "You teach people how to be coached." "People became more responsible because they realized, 'I can do this myself.'" "Maybe people aren't uncoachable—they're simply not ready for coaching yet." "Coaching creates an environment where people know they'll be heard and their thinking will be respected."

The risk of ransomware is real - are you ready? Richard talks with Heather Renze about her experiences dealing with a ransomware attack and how to get prepared when it happens to you. Heather talks about how ransomware has evolved into a business that has operators, affiliates, and even tech support. Making a plan is essential - involving finance, legal, and IT. Cyberinsurance plays a big role, as do regulatory bodies - it depends on the business you're in. But your plan needs to know three essential things: what breaks first, how long your company can function with it broken, and who can decide on what to do next in the first hour of the event. The plan may or may not work perfectly, but not having a plan is far worse. Get ready! Links Ransomware Guidance from NIST Recorded June 25, 2026

What if the thing blocking your practice growth isn't ambition or intelligence, but infrastructure?  In this episode, Tracy Cherpeski shares what she learned at the American Association of Medical Society Executives conference—a crystallized insight about why sustainable growth depends entirely on the deliberate, measurable foundation you build before (and while) you scale.  Hear how to identify your practice's specific bottlenecks, why readiness isn't a destination but a choice, and how to think strategically about systems, delegation, and tools (like AI) so they actually serve your practice instead of creating more chaos.  For practice owners wrestling with how to grow without burning out, this episode offers both the philosophy and the practical framework to build differently.  Join us August 18, 2026 (or request the replay): AI, Automations & The Smart Practice: A Private Roundtable  Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy's LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page

She became an archeologist because of her love for exploration and discovery. She became a land conservationist because of the U.S. Army. And somewhere in between, she figured out that the land surrounding a military base might be just as important as what's inside the fence line.

Romans 1 presents the Christian life as a wholehearted love for God that overflows into love for people. Paul begins with thanksgiving and prayer, reminding believers to intentionally encourage others by recognizing their faith instead of criticizing their faults. In a culture marked by isolation and distraction, these practices build genuine community and strengthen those who are faithfully following Christ, knowing that spiritual fruit often brings spiritual opposition. Paul also calls believers to live with generous, persistent love that gives more than it takes. Faithful friendships are marked by sacrifice, loyalty, and a refusal to give up on people, while the church's greatest obligation remains proclaiming Jesus above every competing priority. Thanksgiving, prayer, generosity, perseverance, and gospel witness work together to form a community that reflects Christ's love and advances His kingdom.

In this episode of the Movement Podcast, Gray Cook and Lee Burton are joined by Dr. Todd Arnold, a board-certified sports medicine physician with more than two decades of experience caring for athletes at every level — from high school and collegiate sports to NCAA Championships, World Championships, and elite international competition.Dr. Arnold serves as the medical officer for elite athlete healthcare for USA Track & Field, where his role is not simply to react to injuries, but to help athletes stay healthy enough to train, compete, and perform when it matters most.This conversation explores how movement assessment fits into modern sports medicine and why runners need more than mileage, strength, or biomechanics alone. Dr. Arnold shares how he uses movement screening, Y Balance, table exams, biomechanics, recovery conversations, and individual baselines to better understand each athlete's state of readiness.The discussion covers:Why sports medicine needs to move from reactive to proactive careHow Dr. Arnold applies movement systems with elite runnersWhy every runner needs an individual baselineThe three things Dr. Arnold does not want to miss in runnersAnkle dorsiflexion asymmetryGlute sequencing and timingThoracic extensionWhy running is repetitive, predictable, and demandingHow movement screens help create athlete buy-inWhy table exams still matterHow Faber and Thomas testing relate to running mechanicsThe relationship between movement readiness and wearable dataWhy recovery may be the biggest mistake many runners makeHow coaches, clinicians, sports psychologists, dietitians, and biomechanics teams can use movement as a shared languageThe key takeaway: running performance is not just about training harder. It is about understanding whether the athlete is ready to absorb, adapt, and repeat the work.Learn more about Functional Movement Systems:https://www.functionalmovement.com/Functional Movement SystemsYouTubeFacebookInstagramX (Twitter)Subscribe to the FMS Newsletter
