In 2025, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and CIOs across Asia are grappling with an increasingly sophisticated ransomware threat landscape. The 2025 Veeam Ransomware Trends report reveals a concerning shift towards smaller, opportunistic groups that exploit vulnerabilities in larger enterprises, making rapid detection and response essential. FutureCISO spoke to Ben Young, Veeam's CTO for APAC to discuss how AI is impacting the cyber threat landscape, most notably in the areas of ransomware and phishing, and what CISO's must revisit as part of their resilience strategy.Questions covered:1. Give us your summary of the 2025 Ransomware Trends & Proactive Strategies report. 2. How are ransomware groups adapting to law enforcement pressure, and what does this mean for mid to large enterprises in Asia? 3. How is the shift toward data exfiltration (vs. encryption-only attacks) impacting our incident response plans? 4. Are we prepared for the legal and compliance risks if we pay a ransom, given new regional/international regulations? 5. Do our backup and recovery strategies meet the "3-2-1-1-0" rule? Is this strategy still relevant in the era of hybrid data, AI everywhere, and digital-native workforces? 6. Are cloud-based backups and managed services a viable strategy for improving resilience? 7. How can organisations reduce dwell time for attackers between infiltration and detection? 8. Are current employee training program robust enough to prevent phishing/social engineering breaches? 9. Are IT and security teams aligned to ensure rapid response during an attack? 10. Should CISOs consider third-party incident response partnerships to reduce ransom payments? 11. How will rising cybersecurity budgets be allocated between prevention, detection, and recovery? Any tips on how CISOs can get the budget they need for the organisation?
Rio Tinto has announced a further $900 million investment into lithium mining in Chile - we discuss the inexorable logic that today's 2x overcapacity will give way, due to constantly growing demand, to a second lithium shortage within the next 10 years.JinkoSolar's whitepaper on their latest TOPCon solar module, which boasts 24.8% efficiency, demonstrates that technological progress in silicon PV has yet to slow - but there are only five years left before the theoretical Shockley-Queisser limit on photovoltaic performance per square meter is effectively reached. After that, perovskites will be the primary remaining avenue for further research.

In this episode of FYI – For Your Innovation, ARK's Director of Research Brett Winton sits down with Brad Feld — co-founder of Foundry, Techstars, and longtime venture capitalist — to unpack his latest thinking on startup communities, mentorship, and how founders can build better networks by giving first. After taking time away from public life to reflect, Brad returns with a new book, Give First: The Power of Mentorship, and a sharpened view on the distinction between transactional ecosystems and community-led innovation. He shares lessons from nearly two decades with Techstars, thoughts on remote vs. in-person work post-COVID, and how mentorship can be redesigned for the next generation of entrepreneurs. The conversation also explores the cultural shifts introduced by AI, the hidden friction in monetizing online engagement, and why Brad believes the best way to shape a network is to invest in others before you know what you'll get in return.Key Points From This Episode:00:00:00 Why Brad Feld “hibernated” from public life and how it changed his perspective00:04:24 From default yes to default no: Reclaiming time and creative energy00:06:28 Navigating remote work: Company culture and post-COVID office dynamics00:09:49 When revenue goes negative: COVID-era crisis stories from Rover and SeatGeek00:12:25 The Give First philosophy — and how it became Techstars' guiding principle00:17:50 Finding mentorship as a founder: What works and what definitely doesn't00:19:15 The power of peer mentorship and showing up without expectations00:23:16 How online culture's transactional mindset erodes community trust00:26:00 Boulder Startup Week and the importance of local founder energy00:30:41 Brad's Random Day tradition: 15-minute meetings, one goal per person00:35:17 Techstars vs. YC: Origins of the mentor-driven accelerator model00:40:27 Building startup communities from scratch: What actually works00:46:05 Founders must lead: Differentiating between startup communities and ecosystems00:49:00 Mentorship at scale: Applying Techstars' playbook to community growth00:54:08 Frictionless networks: Why “Give First” accelerates stronger connections01:00:16 AI's impact on software development, legal workflows, and personal productivity01:04:07 Coding with AI: Brad's firsthand experience building a web app with Cursor
This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the full video on YouTube - click hereElon Musk did what most thought was impossible. He built a mission-driven brand that captured global attention, made electric vehicles desirable, and forced legacy automakers to rethink everything. But lately, his leadership has taken a turn—and it's raising serious questions. The mission hasn't changed, but the behavior around it has.In this special solo episode, Jan Griffiths lays out five leadership lessons for Elon—not out of criticism, but from a deep respect for what he's accomplished and a firm belief in what the industry still needs from him.She starts with mission. Tesla's purpose has united people around the world. But when Elon supports people who oppose that mission, it creates confusion. You can't promote a cause while backing those who go against it.Then comes culture. Elon's ability to identify problems and push for solutions is extraordinary, but intensity without empathy creates fear, which kills creativity. If the goal is innovation, leaders must build environments where people feel safe to contribute and not scared to fail.Jan then challenges the idea of leading by example. Sleeping on the factory floor shows commitment, but expecting others to follow that model isn't sustainable. Real modeling means setting a standard not just in work ethic but also in behavior and how you show up in moments of crisis.Micromanagement is next. Being able to solve problems doesn't mean owning every decision. The more decisions a leader owns, the fewer their teams can make. Jan warns that this behavior ultimately traps leaders in a loop where nothing moves without them.Finally: identity. Without knowing who you are as a leader, everything else starts to fall apart. Jan points to tools like the 21 Traits of Authentic Leadership and Doug Conant's leadership blueprint to help any leader build that internal alignment.Elon has done what few believed possible. But the chaos, political noise, and online disputes only adds friction at a time when the real threat is global. The industry doesn't need noise. It needs the focused, driven leader who started it all.Themes discussed in this episode:The disconnect between Tesla's mission and Elon Musk's public alignmentsThe impact of fear-based leadership culture on innovation and employee engagementHow micromanagement affects team performance and company growthThe cultural transformation needed to support EV and software-defined vehicle innovationHow a CEO's behavior sets the tone for company cultureThe importance of psychological safety in building high-performing teamsHow public distractions and controversy weaken brand focusWhy the auto industry needs focused leadership amid rising global competitionYour HostJan Griffiths is the architect of cultural change in the automotive industry. As the President & Founder of Gravitas Detroit, Jan brings a wealth of expertise and a passion for transforming company cultures. Additionally, she is the host of the Automotive Leaders Podcast, where she shares insightful conversations with industry visionaries. Jan is also the author of

In this episode, hosts Carolina and Vidhya dive deep into collectivism in relation to the (neo)liberal ideology of individualism that underpins the nonprofit/nongovernmental industrial complex and evaluation. We invite Naaima Khan, a strategist and evaluator, to discuss the implications of collectivism in the context of structurally-focused analysis and action. The conversation weaves personal reflections, historical definitions, and critiques of language to explore themes of leadership, accountability, and culture.

In a world of conflicting values, polarized opinions, and ever-shifting cultural norms, it's no wonder morality feels... broken. In this episode of Rethink, Anderson, Sayenne, and Jose explore how our traditional moral frameworks are being challenged—from the decline of religious authority to the rise of technology that makes decisions for us.We question whether universal values still exist, how modern society blurs the line between right and wrong, and what happens when we're encouraged to fulfill every desire. And ultimately, we ask: in a world driven by individualism and algorithms, what does it mean to be a “good” human anymore?This is not just a philosophical debate—it's a reflection of the world we live in now. Tune in as we rethink morality, one contradiction at a time.

Interview withTim Froude, CEO of Sokoman MineralsJeffery Wilson, CEO of Precipitate GoldRecording date: 27 May 2025Despite gold trading above $3,300 per ounce, junior mining companies continue to face significant challenges in accessing capital and generating investor interest. Two Canadian gold exploration companies, Sokoman Minerals and Precipitate Gold, are adapting their strategies to navigate this complex investment environment.Sokoman Minerals is making a strategic pivot from traditional drilling to bulk sampling at their Moosehead project in Newfoundland. CEO Tim Froude announced the company will pursue bulk sampling in 2025 after drilling 130,000 meters across seven high-grade gold zones with limited market response. The company has allocated $1.5 million for their first conventional bulk sample, extracting 1,000 cubic meters of material to demonstrate economic viability and attract mid-tier partners. Despite strong drill results, including a recent intersection of 70 grams per ton over 4.5 meters, the company's share price remained stagnant, prompting the strategic shift.Precipitate Gold maintains a stronger financial position with $4 million in treasury, focusing on their Juan de Herrera project in the Dominican Republic. The company benefits from a previous $7 million investment by Barrick Gold and a $5 million land sale to the major. Precipitate plans drilling later in 2025 at their project adjacent to Goldquest Mining's 3.5 million ounce Romero deposit.Both companies highlighted the disappearance of retail investors from the junior mining sector. The traditional "mom and pop" investors who historically drove capital into exploration companies have largely vanished, forcing companies to target more sophisticated institutional and strategic investors.The Dominican Republic mining environment shows signs of improvement, with wealthy local investors contributing $23 million to Goldquest Mining in recent financings, signaling renewed confidence in the jurisdiction. Meanwhile, Newfoundland expects $250 million in exploration expenditures for 2025, up from $180 million previously.These strategic adaptations reflect a broader maturation in the junior mining sector, where companies must demonstrate economic viability beyond exploration results to attract investment in today's challenging capital markets.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
The shocking fact is that alcohol is responsible for around three times more deaths globally than any other drug combined, save for tobacco. However, many of us still consume it. So how have we reached this point, and why is alcohol consumption still so deeply ingrained in human culture? In this episode, we speak to Professor David Nutt about the history of alcohol use and the many and varied effects it has on our health, lives and wellbeing. He tells us exactly what alcohol does to our bodies and brains, why some of us find it so difficult to stop drinking once we've started, and why education is vital if we are to limit the damage alcohol causes to public health.

Rafi Mohammed, founder of the consulting firm Culture of Profit, says a crisis or recession is not the time to panic and slash prices. He says leaders should instead reevaluate their pricing strategy—or develop one for the first time—to better respond to customers during the slump and keep them when the economy recovers. Since this conversation took place in 2020, the crisis you'll hear them referring to is—obviously—the Covid-19 pandemic. But these lessons apply well beyond that moment—to any period of economic instability. Mohammed shares examples of companies across a variety of industries that created effective price strategies in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Mohammed is the author of "The 1% Windfall: How Successful Companies Use Price to Profit and Grow" and the recent HBR article, “Setting a Pricing Strategy Amid Ever-Changing Tariffs."

What if the working world wasn't designed for you, and following the rules held you back from the leadership and life you actually want? In this episode of Legendary Leaders, Cathleen welcomes Nyree Ambarchian, co-founder of purpose-led communications agency Jack & Grace, for a bold and honest conversation about ditching outdated workplace norms and rewriting the “rules” of work. Nyree shares her journey from diligently following the rules to challenging and rewriting them, both in her own career and in building her business. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to question inherited workplace “rules,” embrace authentic leadership, and create environments where people and planet can thrive. Episode Timeline: 01:35 What might happen if we stopped following outdated workplace rules and started making work fit us instead? 07:56 Launching her purpose-led communications agency during the lockdowns leveled the playing field 10:44 Motherhood led Nyree to reevaluate workplace norms 13:29 Personal challenges with miscarriage and infertility 18:09 Support for miscarriage should never be a one-size-fits-all policy 25:02 Jack & Grace founded as an experiment to challenge industry norms 27:33 Why unlimited holidays didn't work at Jack & Grace 29:24 Salary transparency is a powerful tool for reducing inequality 37:20 All jobs at Jack & Grace are offered part-time as standard 49:50 Measuring success not just by profit, but also people and planet Key Takeaways: Most workplace “rules” weren't designed for the modern workforce and often exclude, rather than empower people. Open conversation about real-life challenges like miscarriage and menopause can transform organisational culture and support. Experiments in flexibility, salary transparency, and inclusive hiring aren't just “nice” they drive retention, talent attraction, and genuine well-being. Measuring success by profit alone ignores the vital health of people and the planet - embrace the triple bottom line. ABOUT Nyree Ambarchian: Nyree Ambarchian is a Co-Founder of Jack & Grace, a purpose-driven communications agency. On a mission to use comms as a force for good, Jack & Grace is a B Corp and only works with organisations that value people, planet, and profit equally. Nyree has twenty years experience in communications, specialising in behaviour change campaigns, delivering work for the likes of Riverford, the Duke of Edinburgh's Awards, and Defra. Having obediently followed the ‘rules' of work all her career, in 2018, Nyree became a mum. Finding herself no longer able to stick to ‘the rules', the burn of failure hit hard. Until she realised the problem wasn't her, it was the rules. That marked the start of her journey to rewrite the rules of work, so they work for more people.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta dives into the future of fragrance with the founders of iRomaScents, Avner Gal and Erin Berry, and celebrated perfumer Veronique Gabai. Together, they explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the way we discover and connect with scent—bringing personalization and clarity to an industry long defined by overwhelm and subjectivity.Avner and Erin share the origin story of iRomaScents, a platform designed to make fragrance discovery intuitive, accessible, and data-driven. What began as a dream to integrate scent into immersive experiences evolved into a cutting-edge solution to one of beauty's most frustrating problems: finding your perfect perfume. The result is an AI-powered “wizard” that uses lifestyle cues and emotional patterns—like your favorite colors or songs—to guide users to scent profiles they'll actually love.Veronique Gabai lends her industry insight to explain how this technology enhances, rather than replaces, the emotional artistry of perfumery. With scent linked so deeply to our reptilian brain, she explains, it's no wonder we struggle to articulate preferences—iRomaScents helps bridge that gap by refining, not replacing, human instinct.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by a perfume counter or struggled to put your preferences into words, this episode offers a glimpse into a smarter, more intuitive future. Tune in to learn how iRomaScents is reshaping fragrance discovery—one personalized algorithm at a time.CHAPTERS:(0:00) Introduction to the Episode and iRomaScents(1:10) The Concept Behind iRomaScents and Integrating AI into Fragrance(3:04) Avner's Journey from Engineering to Fragrance(4:38) Erin's Perspective on the Challenges of Choosing Fragrance(7:05) Veronique's Take on the Future of the Fragrance Industry(9:34) The Power of AI in Personalizing Fragrance Selection(12:05) Creating the AI Algorithm and Observing Consumer Behavior(15:23) How AI Helps Narrow Down Fragrance Preferences(21:13) Veronique's Advice on Connecting with Fragrance and Closing ThoughtsTo learn more about iRomaScents, visit their website and social media, or to learn more about Vernoique Gabai, visit her website and social media.

I honestly don't know how I should be educating my kids. A.I. has raised a lot of questions for schools. Teachers have had to adapt to the most ingenious cheating technology ever devised. But for me, the deeper question is: What should schools be teaching at all? A.I. is going to make the future look very different. How do you prepare kids for a world you can't predict?And if we can offload more and more tasks to generative A.I., what's left for the human mind to do?Rebecca Winthrop is the director of the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution. She is also an author, with Jenny Anderson, of “The Disengaged Teen: Helping Kids Learn Better, Feel Better, and Live Better.” We discuss how A.I. is transforming what it means to work and be educated, and how our use of A.I. could revive — or undermine — American schools.Mentioned:Brookings Global Task Force on AI EducationWinthrop's World of EducationBook Recommendations:Democracy and Education by John DeweyUnwired by Gaia BernsteinBlueprint for Revolution by Srdja PopovicThoughts?
