The last regularly scheduled episode of The Boat Galley Podcast is a discussion between Nica and Carolyn on how cruising has changed. Summary Today's episode of The Boat Galley podcast is actually a little different. Welcome to a conversation between Carolyn Shearlock and Nica Waters on changes to cruising in the past few decades. But first, we have some news for you. We've enjoyed recording this podcast for over 800 episodes over the past eight years. That's a lot of useful information available in short episodes--most less than ten minutes long. If you're new to the podcast, make sure you go back and check out our old content. Thank you to all our listeners. And also, thank you to our sponsors who have supported us. We reached out to our sponsors because we use and love their products. We're not only grateful for their support of the podcast but also for how they've helped make our own cruising lives easier. Changes in Cruising Nica first began cruising in the 1990s, and Carolyn began in 2002. Since then, we've seen a lot of changes. One of the biggest has been access to information. With access to satellite-based internet, it's easier to get information than ever. The new challenge is learning to differentiate between useful information and infotainment. GPS Of course, a huge game-changer has been the arrival of GPS. In the early days, it wasn't reliable. Early chart plotters made it appear your boat was on land, and GPS service included a warning that it would only be reliable to five miles. Nica notes that in her current location in French Polynesia, GPS has made navigation much easier. However, she would not rely on it at night. Ease of Setting Out Carolyn notes that it used to be typical for cruisers to begin by coastal cruising. They might stay just offshore for five years while they gain the skills required to travel farther afield. Today, it's easier to set off more quickly. You can connect to the information you need farther from shore. However, it also means some cruisers don't have the experience and skills to rely on if things go wrong. More cruisers set out with a big goal, like circumnavigating. Carolyn reminds us of Lin Pardey's advice: to keeping going as long as it's fun. Nica notes that many cruisers are buying larger and more luxurious vessels. That means that they may not have a plan for when their freezer fails or their watermaker needs to be repaired. Skills like knowing how to keep food without refrigeration or how to gather rainwater can help any cruiser if equipment breaks down in a remote location. Redundancy of skills is as important as redundancy in equipment. Returning to navigation, a cruiser needs to have a plan for if GPS itself becomes unavailable. With paper charts no longer being updated, this becomes a greater challenge. Carolyn credits her experience as a small boat racer for having the skills to move her boat if something goes wrong. Although she feels self-sufficiency is important, she also expresses gratitude for fellow cruisers who suggested quick fixes when she and Dave were trying to make the perfect repair. Advice for Cruisers The Boat Galley exists to make cruising easier and more fun. So it's time to share some advice. Flexibility Nica and Carolyn agree that mental flexibility and the ability to slow down are among the most important traits for any cruiser. The theme music of the podcast expresses this key. It's titled "Slow Down." Stay Curious and Open to Adventure There will be days when you feel tired or homesick. But if you keep that curiosity and sense of adventure, whether you're sailing in familiar waters or farther ashore, you'll be enjoying the best benefits of cruising. Carolyn reminds us that you can't plan for everything. That's actually the definition of adventure--not knowing what will happen next. Not everything will look like a YouTube video. You'll experience highs and lows. But most of cruising is the mundane middle--washing dishes, moving stuff around to reach other stuff, etc. Farewell Carolyn and Nica are proud of all the work they've done on the podcast, providing useful tips for others. They love hearing from listeners and look forward to sharing more about this amazing lifestyle.

What happens when the "dream job" you hustled so hard to get...suddenly disappears? You're trapped in the story of who you think you should be, convinced you only fit into one box. When life tears up the script, that loss of identity can be paralysing. But what if that ending is actually the best thing that ever happened to you? What if the thing you’re doing as a "side hobby" is actually an empire waiting to be built? Tori Clapham is the powerhouse founder behind the boutique fitness brand, Peaches Pilates. Today, she oversees an empire with ten studios, an app used in 54 countries, and over $4 million in annual revenue. But the path there wasn't a straight line. Tori began as a performing arts student, moving from Far North Queensland to NYC and eventually landing a coveted creative role at MTV. Everything changed when she was made redundant. Left with a $10,000 cheque and a major life decision, Tori looked back at the casual Pilates sessions she ran for colleagues during lunch breaks and realized her "hobby" was actually her calling. She took a massive gamble, using her redundancy pay and travel savings to sign a lease on a tiny "shoebox" studio in Bondi. In this empowering episode of Pivot Club, Sarah and Tori cover the grit of DIY renovations, the risks involved when her husband quit his corporate job to join the team, and how their lo-fi workout videos accidentally prepared them for a global pandemic. They also dig into the "mini-pivot" of motherhood and how to build a business that serves your life, rather than the other way around. Get ready to learn why your biggest setbacks are often the things that propel you the most. THE END BITS: Want more from Sarah Davidson? Check out her podcast Seize The Yay.

The government published two new ERA 2025 consultations this week. The first - and most significant - seeks views on a new organisation-wide threshold for collective redundancy consultation, with proposed trigger points ranging from 250 to 1,000 redundancies depending on the method chosen. The second consults on protecting workers from detriment for taking part in industrial action.ConsultationsCollective redundancy threshold consultation: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/make-work-pay-threshold-for-triggering-collective-redundancy-obligationsIndustrial action detriment protection consultation: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/make-work-pay-protection-from-detriments-for-taking-industrial-actionLaw firm articles:Moore Barlow - Employment Rights Act 2025 Timeline - https://www.moorebarlow.com/blog/employment-rights-act-era-2025-timeline/CIPD - UK employment law changes in February 2026 - https://www.cipd.org/uk/views-and-insights/thought-leadership/insight/employment-law-changes-february-2026/Osborne Clarke - https://www.osborneclarke.com/
This episode, presented by the German Maritime Centre, explores the essential role of subsea cables as critical infrastructure underpinning global communications and business operations. Host Matthias Catón is joined by guests Camino Kavanagh and Jonas Franken, both experts in cyber security, international security, and maritime systems. What Are Subsea Cables? Subsea cables are fiber-optic systems laid across the seabed, connecting continents and islands for data transmission. They include not only the cables themselves but also landing stations, maintenance ships, repair logistics, and complex terrestrial links. The technology has advanced from telegraph cables to modern fiber optics, forming a backbone for the internet and communications. Scale and Complexity There are currently around 530 active international cable systems, with 70 more in the planning stages. Some cables connect just two points, while others are complex networks with up to 30 landing stations. Globally, over 1,600 cable landing stations exist, varying in size and complexity. Visibility and Public Awareness While most people rarely notice subsea cables, outages in places like Tonga, Southeast Asia, Norway, Ireland, and the Shetland Islands have raised awareness. Many still mistakenly believe internet connectivity is reliant on satellites, while in reality, subsea cables handle the overwhelming majority of data traffic. Redundancy and Resilience European countries enjoy high redundancy, ensuring minimal disruption from cable faults. In contrast, remote nations often rely on a single cable, making them more vulnerable to outages. Subsea cables are engineered for resilience, with backup options usually available, though incidents can still affect connectivity. Satellite vs. Subsea Cables Satellites serve a supplementary role, but subsea cables provide vastly superior bandwidth and lower latency. Even with modern satellite networks like Starlink, they cannot match the data volume or speed required for global internet infrastructure. Ownership and Financing Models Ownership is diverse: Major content providers such as Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft, either individually or through consortia. Traditional telecom companies in consortia. Direct state involvement, including military-operated cables. Development bank funding—sometimes as part of diplomatic efforts. The European Union and the US are introducing more regulations, affecting industry operations. Business Implications Businesses—especially large, data-reliant firms—should consider cable resilience as part of their risk management. Industry groups such as the International Cable Protection Committee and the European Subsea Cable Association foster collaboration and dialogue. Medium and smaller businesses may face challenges in influencing infrastructure policy, but are equally reliant on connectivity. Regulatory Trends Regulation is increasing, especially across the EU (NIS2 Directive, Critical Entities Resilience Act) and the US (Federal Communications Commission rules). The challenge for policymakers and industry is to balance demanding security requirements with the need for operational flexibility and rapid response. Geopolitical Competition and Strategic Concerns Subsea cable networks are increasingly central in international competition, including concerns about reliance on equipment from certain foreign suppliers, particularly China. Security requirements may slow cable operations just when agility is needed most. Looking Ahead: Bold Predictions Jonas Franken predicts Antarctica will be connected to the subsea cable network in the next decade, marking symbolic global connectivity. Camino Cavanagh foresees subsea cables becoming even more contested and central to state competition, with industry facing greater challenges ahead. Conclusion Subsea cables are a crucial, yet often invisible, part of global infrastructure. Businesses and governments must increasingly account for resilience, security, and redundancy, given their importance to society and the economy. The episode emphasizes the need for awareness, collaboration, and proactive planning as the geopolitical and regulatory landscape evolves. About the guests Jonas Franken Jonas Franken is doctoral candidate at Science and Technology for Peace and Security (PEASEC) in the Department of Computer Science at the Technical University of Darmstadt.

This isn't theory. It's about hardware fidelity, data integrity, validation, and AI integration — and what each of these actually requires in daily workflow.We talk about scanner resolution standards (≤0.26 μm per pixel), 4K monitor calibration, visually lossless compression (20:1), scalable storage, pathologist-driven validation, and what “non-inferiority” truly means.Digital pathology is not just a change of medium. It's an operational shift.Episode Highlights[00:02] Community & growth 1,600+ new newsletter subscribers, 10,000+ Facebook members, and free Digital Pathology 101 book access.[07:20] The 4 pillars of adoption Hardware fidelity · Data integrity · Clinical validation · Future integration.[08:30] Hardware requirements 40x equivalent scanning (≤0.26 μm/px), 4K monitors, >300 cd/m² luminance, 10-bit color depth.[12:00] Workflow & throughput 200–300 slides/day per scanner, automated focus control, urgent case prioritization.[17:25] Storage & archiving ~1 GB per slide.

Timo Mullen is the co-founder of Foam Life, a sustainable flip flop brand built after he and his co-founder lost their six-figure jobs during the pandemic.In this Bite-Sized episode of Screw It Just DO It, Timo shares the moment they stopped waiting for certainty and chose action instead. From designing their first product in a week to securing pre-orders, raising investment, and expanding into international markets, this conversation breaks down what really happens when founders remove the safety net.Timo also explains why regret became a bigger risk than failure, how accountability drives momentum, and why word of mouth matters more than paid marketing when you are building something real.Key TakeawaysRegret is heavier than failure when you do not actRemoving the safety net forces clarityMomentum comes from action, not planningSustainability works when it is built in from day one
Are we actually less capable of handling collapse than past generations—or are we just adapted for a different kind of world?In this conversation, Dan Carlin (Hardcore History / The End Is Always Near) breaks down why modern society may be more fragile than we think: not only because of disease, war, or shortages—but because fear and system dependence can stop essential services fast. We talk about the Spanish Flu (1918–1920), “toughness” as a moving target, and how complexity creates new failure points.In this episode:• Why fear can break society before disease does• Spanish Flu as a warning for modern cities• What “toughness” actually means (and why it's hard to define)• Redundancy vs complexity: why modern systems fail differently• Collapse scenarios we can't predict—until they arriveQuestion for you: If something major hit tomorrow, what breaks first—social trust, supply chains, policing, or healthcare?Subscribe for more investigations into the hidden forces behind history—same playbook, different century.
S8 EP2 From shop floor lessons to commercial confidence with Dahlia StroudThis week we're joined by Dahlia Stroud, a retail and FMCG leader whose career spans Nestlé, Asda and Co-op, where she's led commercial strategy, online trading and multiple buying teams (without ever officially holding the buyer title). Today she hosts Stressed But Well-Dressed, exploring the link between confidence, mindset and how we show up at work.In this episode we go back to the start- field sales, Christmas aisles and learning retail the hard way and how those early experiences built the instincts she later used to lead teams and shape commercial decisions across categories from home to healthcare.We talk about the moment online retail changed everything: why a profitable product on paper isn't always profitable in reality, how customer behaviour differs by channel, and why great buyers have to understand the full journey not just the margin line. Dahlia shares how she influenced teams without authority, using insight and education to bring people with her rather than telling them what to do.We also get into the human side of careers. Redundancy knocked her confidence and identity, and led to creating Stressed But Well-Dressed as a way to rebuild her voice, discovering along the way that everyone, even senior leaders, is figuring it out as they go. Confidence, she says, isn't about knowing everything it's about trusting you can work it out.Along the way we cover trend moments that unexpectedly explode, why getting the basics right matters just as much as innovation, and the psychology behind why customers actually buy things in the first place.Three key takeaways1. The best commercial instincts are built on the shop floor Those early, unglamorous roles teach you how retail actually works - customers, stores, operations and reality vs theory. That experience shapes stronger decisions later because you understand the impact beyond the numbers.2. Buying isn't just margin (yes we did say that) it's the full operating model Online retail forced a shift from product-level thinking to end-to-end thinking. Packaging, fulfilment, returns and behaviour all matter, and the strongest commercial teams are the ones who connect customer behaviour to financial outcomes.3. Confidence drives progression more than job titles Redundancy pushed Dahlia to rebuild her identity and voice- and reinforced a simple truth: everyone has doubt. The difference is backing yourself anyway. When you change your internal narrative, your external impact changes too.Connect with DahliaPodcast: Stressed But Well-DressedExploring the relationship between clothing, confidence, and mindsetSupport the showIf you've liked this episode please rate, follow, subscribe and share :) - and if you already have, thank you!Follow us @buyingandbeyond on Instagram Send us a DM or email hello@buyingandbeyond.co.uk Find out more about us www.buyingandbeyond.co.uk If you'd like to show a little more love, then head here to give us just a little bit *extra* and show us your support :) thank you! https://www.buzzsprout.com/2300060/support
Is your #BVLOS strategy still "cellular-only"? You might be missing the 70% #ROI shift according to Alastair MacLeod. In the #drone and #AAM industry, "hope" is not a communication strategy. At #AerialCities2025, Thilo Uebbert, Manager of Project and Programme Management at Murzilli Consulting sat down with Ground Control CEO Alastair MacLeod who highlighted one main thing for fleet operators: #Satellite #data costs have plummeted by 70-80% over the last decade, turning #SATCOM from a "luxury backup" into a "primary mission-enabler." According to him, as we look toward 2026, the scaling of #drone delivery and industrial inspection hinges on one thing, surety of #communication. Key discussion points in our exclusive, C-level # interview: Why "RadioShack" terminals are killing your #payload, and why purpose-built PCBA integration is the only way to #scale. Why 5G-Satellite convergence is still 5 years away, and what you should be engineering for today. How the merger of Ground Control and CLS is creating a unified ecosystem for global #UAV tracking and #C2. Are you interested in being at the forefront of drone technology?

c02 The Silent Killers in Your Home | Episode 586 Good morning. It's 45 degrees, I'm dragging butt, and today we're talking about something that quietly kills a lot of people every year. Carbon dioxide. Smoke. Ventilation. The invisible stuff. This isn't sexy prepping. This is boring, basic, “why are we even talking about this?” prepping. Because a $20 device can literally save your life. Carbon Dioxide: The Cheap Life Insurance You're Ignoring I was scrolling headlines this morning and saw another story about deaths from carbon dioxide poisoning. It happens every single year. A lot. And here's the stupid part — a CO₂ detector costs like twenty bucks. Even if you don't run a propane heater, even if you think your house is “fine,” they're cheap enough that not owning one is just negligence. Modern homes are airtight. That's great for energy efficiency. It's not great if something is off-gassing inside. We run: A Mr. Buddy propane backup heater On-demand propane hot water Both can introduce CO₂ into the air. Under normal conditions? Fine. Crank the flame too high? It absolutely spikes. We've set ours off before. We've seen it climb toward 150 parts per million. The alarm goes off, we crack windows, levels drop. If we didn't have the monitor? We'd have no clue. That's the scary part. Without a detector, you literally do not know. Backup Heat Means Backup Monitoring If you're running any kind of propane heater — especially in winter — this is not optional. Yes, some heaters have built-in shutoff sensors. The Mr. Buddy claims it will shut itself off if CO₂ gets too high. Cool. I still want my own monitor. That's a belt-and-suspenders situation. Redundancy matters when the failure mode is “you don't wake up.” Also: crack a window. It feels counterintuitive when you're trying to heat a space, but fresh air matters. Smoke Detectors: The Highest ROI Device in Your House If your house doesn't have smoke detectors, I don't know what to tell you. They are cheap. The return on investment is astronomical. The ROI of not dying in a house fire? I'll take that trade every day of the week. Yes, I've had one fail before. I installed one when I built my house, it broke, and there was a stretch where we didn't have one. It happens. Then you fix it. Also: change your batteries. Do not be the person whose smoke detector chirps for three months. Just replace the batteries. Batteries: The Boring Prep That Matters CO₂ detectors. Smoke alarms. Flashlights. They all need batteries. Stock some. I bought one of those zippered foam battery organizers that holds multiple sizes. It's nerdy, but having a full case of ready-to-go batteries is awesome. Also, don't cheap out on garbage rechargeable batteries. I bought some that were labeled rechargeable and either weren't — or were just trash. They wouldn't hold a charge. When it comes to life-safety gear? Buy decent batteries. Combination Units vs Dedicated Monitors Many modern smoke detectors also monitor CO₂. That's fine. Two-for-one is great. Personally, I like a dedicated CO₂ monitor that shows parts per million in real time. I want to see the numbers. I want to watch them drop when I open a window. But if you're starting from scratch? A combo unit is far better than nothing. The goal is awareness. Radon and Other Invisible Problems Carbon dioxide isn't the only invisible threat. Radon is real. I've watched a YouTube renovation series where a homeowner tested high radon levels in a basement before sealing and fixing it. That's something you may want to test, depending on where you live.

Hello, listeners, and welcome back to part 2 of the 51st episode of First Principles.Ms. Kalpana Morparia reached out to us via email after the bro-ification episode. It was the most pleasant surprise and we immediately knew we had to get her on the podcast.Here's someone who joined ICICI in 1975 as a lawyer, had absolutely no background in finance, and was then asked to run Treasury. She was terrified but her colleagues told her: "You do not say no to Mr. Kamath and live to have a great career in ICICI."So she said yes and built one of the most remarkable careers in Indian banking.She talks about the ICICI culture where contradicting the chairman wasn't just allowed, it was encouraged. A senior JPMorgan executive once said the most impressive thing about ICICI was that "the junior-most person could contradict the chairman and get away with it."She also gets candid about things most leaders don't talk about. Like why she wishes she had done an MBA. Why she has strong opinions about people's physical appearance at work and knows it's a flaw. Why her spiritual guru completely changed her relationship with the one thing she considered her biggest regret in life.She went to a Ferrari racetrack and hit 304 kmph. She believes work-life balance is nonsense and wishes every youngster would realize that life is work and work is life.Listen in for all this and more, including why she thinks India's next 30 years belong to banking, healthcare, and infrastructure. Why retirement at 60 is an outdated concept. And why on a scale of 1 to 10, she rates her happiness at 9 plus.**********This episode was produced by Uddantika Kashyap and mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN.Write to us at fp@the-ken.com with your feedback, suggestions, and guests you would want to see on First Principles.If you enjoyed this episode, please help us spread the word by sharing and gifting it to your friends and family.v
In this episode of Why Did It Fail?, Stuart Taylor, CRO at The Lennox Academy, opens up about a failure most people only talk about in whispers: staying at a company too long after an acquisition… and being made redundant as a result. He talks candidly about what it felt like in the moment, the shock, the hit to his identity and much more.Stuart and Shivan dig into the uncomfortable truth about loyalty, timing your exit, and recognising when a role or company has stopped serving your growth. Stuart shares the mindset and practical steps that helped him rebuild, and how that experience now shapes the way he leads, hires and coaches revenue teams.

What happens when the "dream job" you hustled so hard to get...suddenly disappears? You're trapped in the story of who you think you should be, convinced you only fit into one box. When life tears up the script, that loss of identity can be paralysing. But what if that ending is actually the best thing that ever happened to you? What if the thing you’re doing as a "side hobby" is actually an empire waiting to be built? Tori Clapham is the powerhouse founder behind the boutique fitness brand, Peaches Pilates. Today, she oversees an empire with ten studios, an app used in 54 countries, and over $4 million in annual revenue. But the path there wasn't a straight line. Tori began as a performing arts student, moving from Far North Queensland to NYC and eventually landing a coveted creative role at MTV. Everything changed when she was made redundant. Left with a $10,000 cheque and a major life decision, Tori looked back at the casual Pilates sessions she ran for colleagues during lunch breaks and realized her "hobby" was actually her calling. She took a massive gamble, using her redundancy pay and travel savings to sign a lease on a tiny "shoebox" studio in Bondi. In this empowering episode of Pivot Club, Sarah and Tori cover the grit of DIY renovations, the risks involved when her husband quit his corporate job to join the team, and how their lo-fi workout videos accidentally prepared them for a global pandemic. They also dig into the "mini-pivot" of motherhood and how to build a business that serves your life, rather than the other way around. Get ready to learn why your biggest setbacks are often the things that propel you the most. THE END BITS: Want more from Sarah Davidson? Check out her podcast Seize The Yay.

What if redundancy was not the end of your career story, but the moment you finally stepped into the work you were meant to do? In this episode, we explore what it truly means to redundancy proof your career in a world where roles are disappearing, industries are reshaping, and AI is accelerating change at a pace many people never expected. We reflect on how redundancy is rarely only about the loss of a job. It touches identity, confidence, security, and the deep question of who we are when our professional label is removed. We talk openly about how coaching training develops skills that cannot be automated. Deep listening, emotional intelligence, self regulation, perspective taking, strategic thinking, and the ability to navigate complexity. These are the human capabilities that organisations need more than ever and that individuals need in order to remain adaptable, resilient, and employable across multiple career transitions. We share how redundancy often creates a crossroads moment. Sometimes it arrives as a shock. Sometimes it arrives as the nudge we secretly needed to leave a role that no longer fitted. Either way, it invites reflection. Who am I beyond my job title. What do I want my work to stand for. What am I being called towards next. From personal experience, we reflect on how coach training acts as both an insurance policy and a catalyst. It builds metacognition, the ability to notice how you think as well as what you think. It supports emotional regulation during uncertainty. It strengthens decision making and helps people move from fear driven reactions into intentional, values led choices. We also explore how professional accredited coaching qualifications signal ethical maturity and leadership capability in a changing employment market. Whether you want to become a coach, lead through change, work at board level, build a portfolio career, or future proof yourself against redundancy, the psychological shift that comes through coaching training changes how you experience work, identity, and possibility. Ultimately, we reflect on how redundancy does not have to be something that happens to you. With the right mindset and skills, it can become something you co create with. A doorway rather than a dead end. A transition rather than a termination. Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and why redundancy is now a widespread reality 01:20 Redundancy and identity, why it feels personal 02:10 Skills that cannot be automated through coaching training 03:20 Redundancy as a crossroads and opportunity 05:10 Coach training as a multiplier and resilience builder 07:00 Zoe's personal redundancy story and stepping into business 09:50 Metacognition and emotional regulation in uncertainty 11:40 Coaching skills in leadership and organisational change 13:30 Coaching qualifications as career insurance 15:00 Redundancy as a niche for coaches and organisations 16:50 Decision making, intuition, and embodied confidence 18:45 Choice, perspective, and emotional intelligence 21:00 Depersonalising redundancy and seeing the bigger system 23:00 The psychological shift that future proofs your career 24:00 Next steps and resources Key Lessons Learned: Redundancy often impacts identity more than income and requires emotional as well as practical resilience. Coaching training develops human skills that AI and automation cannot replace. Metacognition helps people move from fear driven thinking to intentional career choices. Accredited coach training signals emotional intelligence, ethical maturity, and leadership capability to organisations. Redundancy can become a catalyst for aligned career change rather than a crisis when supported by reflective practice. Coaching skills enable adaptability across portfolio careers, leadership roles, consultancy, and board level positions.

The recording begins about 7 minutes into the talk due to a recording error—we apologize for any inconvience. We love efficiency—but there are areas in life where we actually need redundancy. Skye Jethani explains why redundancy used wisely can build communities and save lives.
When you sit down with several advanced practitioners in building a cybersecure environment, you learn about several factors that will ensure success. These include simplified system procedures, continuous education, and the value of taking visibility to a new level. Everybody reading this has encountered situations where a security initiative is mandated, and it must be applied to legacy systems. This "bolt-on" approach is expensive and frustrating to security professionals who have their hands full with current maintenance projects. Keith Christensen from NETCOM addresses that concern with reviewing automation and reducing the attack surface. For example, with too many applications, the patch process can be time-consuming. Systems must leverage AI to automate patching. The total number of applications must be examined and reduced to minimize the attack surface. Johann Wallace presents a variation on alert fatigue, calling it "task saturation." He believes AI can help reprioritize tasks that require labor. Continuous education is a part of everyone's job, according to Dr. Matt Turk from DARPA. To that end, they are offering a colloquium on resilient software systems. Brian Meyer from Axonius maintains that visibility matters. It starts with understanding what is on your network and the tools available to solve cybersecurity problems. In fact, modern technology may not solve existing problems.

Redundancies are one of the most sensitive and high-risk moments in the life of any organisation. When they are mishandled, the consequences can be profound - from reputational damage and industrial action to long-term impacts on trust, morale and employer brand. In this episode of The HR Room Podcast, Dave and Mary are joined by employment law specialist Adrian Twomey, Partner at Jacob & Twomey Solicitors, to unpack what happens when redundancies go wrong. Using a recent high-profile Irish case as a starting point, they explore the legal obligations, human realities and organisational risks involved in collective redundancies. Together, they discuss why empathy matters as much as compliance, how consultation processes shape outcomes, and what HR leaders and managers can do to avoid the worst-case scenario - including strike action, reputational harm and unfair dismissal claims. Guest • Adrian Twomey –Partner, Jacob & Twomey Solicitors Topics include: • Why redundancies are one of the toughest moments for any organisation • What went wrong in the recent Covalen case and what HR leaders can learn from it • Statutory vs enhanced redundancy payments - expectations and realities • What a “good” consultation process really looks like in practice • The legal requirements under collective redundancy legislation • Common risks: unfair dismissal, discrimination claims and reputational damage • The impact of redundancies on morale, trust and organisational culture • Managing anger, fear and resistance during consultation • Supporting managers who must deliver difficult messages • Why empathy, transparency and professionalism are critical to outcomes • How organisations can recover their employer brand after redundancies Useful Links & Resources • Irish Times article on the Covalen redundancy case • Protection of Employment Act 1977 – Collective Redundancies • Insight HR – Redundancy & Restructuring Services Get in touch If you're not already following us on LinkedIn, please do.

After losing his engineering job during the 2008 crash, Daniel Plewman found himself unemployed, on the dole, and unsure what came next. A chance moment — his wife struggling to source quality scrubs from the US — sparked the idea that would eventually become Happythreads, an e-commerce scrubs and healthcare uniform business now operating across Ireland, the UK, France, Spain, Germany and beyond.In this episode, Danny shares how he built Happy Threads from a spare room in Stoneybatter, going door-to-door with samples, and why launching an e-commerce scrubs business long before it was obvious became his unfair advantage. He opens up about the early years of survival, cashflow tricks, moments of being “technically bankrupt,” and the burnout and hospitalisation that forced him to rethink how he worked and led.

In this episode, we continue our conversation on building a resilient business by focusing on shared ownership, redundancy, and smart automation. We talk about how to empower your team to make decisions, centralize knowledge and access, and design systems that don't fall apart when one person steps away. We also explore the mindset shift from being the hero of every story to building a brand and team that clients can trust, not just a single person. Ultimately, we challenge ourselves and you to design a business that supports your health, family, and future, instead of constantly taking from you. Main topics: Culture of shared ownership Redundancy across people and systems Centralizing knowledge and access Smart automation for pet businesses Designing business around your life Main takeaway: "Build your business around the life you want, not the life that you are stuck in." So many pet sitters and dog walkers feel trapped by the very business they created. The schedule, the emergencies, the hundreds of tiny tasks all add up until you feel like the only thing holding everything together. In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to flip that script—to design your business so it supports your health, your family, and your future. We walk through building shared ownership with your team, adding redundancy so you're not the only one who knows how to do critical tasks, and using automation to take work off your plate. If you're tired of feeling like the business is taking from you, this conversation will help you start building one that gives back.

Can a single sentence change the way you see the world? My guest on this episode, James Geary thinks so.Episode SummaryOn this episode, I speak with writer and journalist James, whose lifelong fascination with aphorisms — the world's shortest literary form — reveals why brevity really is the soul of wit. James explains what makes an aphorism work, shares the five laws that define them, and explores how these concise little sayings have guided human thought from ancient times to social media. We discuss:The difference between aphorisms and proverbsHow short phrases can serve as decision-making tools and emotional signpostsWhy humour and contradiction are central to wisdomHow modern culture, marketing, and even AI continue the aphoristic traditionJames's book The World in a Phrase and why he chose to update it 20 years after originally publishing itI also ask him whether my friend James Victore's phrase 'what made you weird as a kid, makes you great today' is an aphorism (spoiler alert: it is!).Guest bioJames Geary is a writer, journalist, and Deputy Curator at Harvard's Nieman Foundation for Journalism.

Harvard GazetteJames Geary — TED Talk “Metaphorically speaking.” TEDEarlier Human Risk podcast episode with James Victore (where he shares “the things that made you weird…”): The Human Risk PodcastAI-Generated Timestamp Summary[00:00:00] Opening, why short phrases stick; introducing James Geary and my confession about “aphorism” pronunciation and definition.[00:01:00] What aphorisms are; oldest literary form; Reader's Digest spark at age eight. [00:03:00] First memorable line: “difference between a rut and a grave”; why compressing meaning captivated him. [00:05:00] The five laws: brief, personal, definitive, philosophical, with a twist; applying them to the Victore quote. [00:06:30] Truth vs. usefulness; contradictions (Johnson vs. Bierce) and situational wisdom. [00:08:45] Aphorisms as everyday philosophy; “signposts” and “violin in public” imagery. [00:10:45] Teenage collecting; writing aphorisms on the backs of rock posters. [00:12:45] Joy + darkness; why humour helps memory; “Why can angels fly? Because they take themselves lightly.” [00:16:30] Family sayings; “If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.” [00:17:45] Redundancy story; “treacherous ground” aphorism as psychological footing. [00:19:30] Secular scripture; Pascal's tennis metaphor; timelessness across traditions. [00:23:00] Originality vs. recurrence; why the twist makes the familiar new. [00:25:15] Beyond greeting-card obviousness; Emerson's “braver five minutes longer.” [00:27:45] Knowing when to persist vs. bail; relationship aphorism “don't let someone show you twice.” [00:31:00] Short form ≠ short attention; links to deep, long thinking. [00:33:30] Craft vs. hot takes; how aphorisms provoke contemplation and dialogue. [00:37:00] Ukraine example; “We kneel before heroes, not invaders” and words+images. [00:41:00] Free speech, calm strength, and the form's defiance of authoritarianism. [00:43:15] Why a history, not a favourites list; posters to book structure. [00:47:00] Rights reversion; why a new edition now; social media context; more aphorists. [00:49:15] Choosing figures: omitting Wilde; championing Stanisław Lec; “No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.” [00:53:00] Aphorisms everywhere: t-shirts, bumper stickers, ads; “Lick the lid of life.” [00:56:30] Can AI write aphorisms? Yes — but beware “cognitive laziness.” [01:01:00] Prompts for humans vs. prompts for machines; why discomfort matters. [01:02:15] Book details; publisher; where to find it; closing thanks. [01:04:00] Outro: links, review ask, website, and final behavioural nudge on “phrases you live by.”

Want a Halloween scare that sticks with you after the candy's gone? We're pouring a glass and pulling back the curtain on the creepiest corners of everyday tech: a cloud outage that toppled major apps and smart beds, a Prime refund saga with fine-print timelines, and Amazon's bold plan to swap 600,000 human jobs for robots by 2033. The number that matters isn't the 30 cents shaved off a product; it's the blast radius when a single point of failure hits everything from payments to sleep pods.We go deeper with cybersecurity expert Nick Espinosa to map the new threat surface. He breaks down a jaw-dropping study showing unencrypted geostationary satellite traffic—airline passenger data, critical infrastructure chatter, even U.S. and Mexican military communications—floating for the taking. Then we connect the surveillance dots: Ring's partnership with Flock could feed millions of doorbells into a searchable police network. With Ring's track record, do you want your front porch in a national database accessible by natural-language prompts?The uncanny valley gets crowded too. A widower claims an AI replica of Suzanne Somers “feels indistinguishable,” while OpenAI prepares to allow “mature” content for verified adults. We weigh the supposed benefits against the hard psychology: isolation, distorted attachment, and empathy atrophy. For a lighter fright, we test the viral claim that Teslas see “ghosts” in cemeteries—spoiler: that's what a cautious perception model looks like when tombstones confuse it. The real nightmare? Attackers hiding malware inside blockchain smart contracts, using decentralization to dodge takedowns and $2 fees to keep it cheap.From airline IT meltdowns to smart contract exploits, the pattern is clear: concentration of power and data magnifies risk. Redundancy, privacy-by-design, and failure-aware engineering aren't nice-to-haves—they're the only way through. Grab your headphones and your favorite pour, then join us for a tour of the haunted infrastructure underneath daily life.Enjoyed the ride?
