Tom Bodrovics introduces Chris Whalen, author of Inflated: Money, Debt, and the American Dream, which has been re-released in a second edition with significant updates. The conversation focuses on the current state of markets, the impact of President Trump's tariff policies, and the challenges posed by the federal debt and inflation. Chris explains that he removed 20,000 words from his original book to make space for a new chapter analyzing the Federal Reserve's management of the money supply under Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen, and Jerome Powell. He highlights how the U.S. housing market has become heavily government-supported, leading to increased volatility and rising costs for consumers. Discussing inflation, Chris notes that it is driven by the inability of governments to generate sufficient income to meet their people's needs, as seen in countries like Argentina. He argues that borrowing from future income through debt creates distortions, particularly in housing markets, where prices have surged due to low interest rates and government intervention. He also critiques the dysfunctionality of Congress, which he believes is unable to pass budgets or manage spending effectively. Chris emphasizes the importance of gold as a hedge against inflation and expresses skepticism about stablecoins and cryptocurrencies, calling them speculative vehicles rather than reliable alternatives to fiat currency. He suggests that the U.S. dollar's dominance in global markets contributes to inflationary pressures, as other countries benefit from using dollars without bearing the associated costs. The discussion concludes with Chris offering an optimistic outlook, noting that while challenges remain, opportunities exist for investors to navigate inflation through real estate and gold. He encourages listeners to manage investments with a long-term perspective, considering the erosive effects of even low levels of inflation over time.

Todd Renner is a seasoned cybersecurity professional with over 25 years of experience leading global cyber investigations, incident response efforts, and digital asset recovery operations. He advises clients on a wide range of cybersecurity and data privacy matters, combining deep technical knowledge with a strategic understanding of risk, compliance, and regulatory frameworks. With a distinguished background at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and National Security Agency (NSA), Mr. Renner has contributed to national security, international cyber collaboration, and has played a key role in mentoring the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. In this episode… The rising complexity of cyber threats continues to test how businesses prepare, respond, and recover. Sophisticated threat actors are exploiting these vulnerabilities of private companies and leveraging AI tools to accelerate their attacks. Despite these dangers, many organizations hesitate to involve law enforcement when a cyber event occurs. This hesitation often stems from misconceptions about what law enforcement involvement entails, including fears of losing control over their systems or exposing sensitive company information. As a result, companies may prioritize quickly restoring operations over pursuing retribution from the attackers, leaving critical security gaps unaddressed. Collaborating with law enforcement doesn't mean forfeiting control or exposing confidential data unnecessarily. Investigations often reveal repeated issues, including mobile device compromises, missing multifactor authentication, and failing to improve cybersecurity measures after a breach. To be better prepared, companies need to develop and practice incident response plans, ensure leadership remains involved, and build security programs that evolve beyond incident response. And, as threat actors actively use AI to accelerate data aggregation and create convincing deepfakes, companies need to start thinking about how to better detect these threats. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Todd Renner, Senior Managing Director at FTI Consulting, about how organizations are responding to modern cyber threats and where many still fall short. Todd shares why companies hesitate to engage law enforcement, how threat actors are using AI for faster targeting and impersonation, and why many businesses fail to strengthen their cybersecurity programs after a breach. He also discusses why deepfakes are eroding trust and raising new challenges for companies, and he provides practical tips for keeping both organizations and families safe from evolving threats.

This podcast is the replay of a webinar Protiviti hosted in January 2025. President Donald Trump took office in January with Republican control of both the Senate and the House and with a conservative-leaning Supreme Court. He has moved quickly to appoint cabinet members, agency heads and others who share his vision for the United States. He has also appointed individuals to advise him and his administration on a range of issues (e.g., energy, border, crypto and AI czars) and created a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to make recommendations to the White House on ways to make government more efficient. Given these developments and what the president has said about his plans, which are the potential industry winners and losers and how might CEOs prepare for the administration based on this evolving information? Discussion topics include:Industries likely to be most impacted favorably and unfavorablyThe potential for increased mergers and acquisition activityThe impact of U.S. policy on non-US domiciled companiesThe outlook for AISpeakers:Carol Beaumier, Senior Managing Director, Global Leader for Thought Leadership, ProtivitiMichael Brauneis, Executive Vice President, Global Industry & Client Programs, Global Financial Services Industry Leader, ProtivitiJonathan Wyatt, Managing Director, Protiviti Europe Regional Market LeaderRob Gould, Managing Director and Global Private Equity and Transaction Services Practice Lead, ProtivitiChristine Livingston, Managing Director – Global AI Leader, Protiviti

Topics:2025 US Economic OutlookTransparency in Managing Investor MoneyWhen Hesitation Costs More Than Failure...and so much more.Top Takeaways“First loss, best loss”—why smart investors (and leaders) know when to cut bait. Know when to cut your losses and move on fast. One of Sal's main investing principles: first loss, best loss. He never doubles down on or gets emotionally attached to a losing investment. If the market signals he's wrong, he exits. The same goes for leadership—holding on to bad hires, failing strategies, or misaligned partnerships can cost you more in the long run. The best investors think like elite athletes. Always think multiple steps ahead. Sal compares investing to sports—the best players anticipate, not just respond. Like a second baseman reading the game before the ball is hit, great investors and leaders plan for every possible outcome, including the worst. AI and tech help, but in the end, success comes from decisiveness, adaptability, and trusting your process.Trust is built in tough moments. Be upfront, especially when things go wrong. Managing other people's money is a big responsibility—families and futures are on the line. Sal and Jordan agree that communicating openly and quickly earns trust that lasts far beyond a single deal. Because people may forget what you said, but they'll always remember how you made them feel.About Sal NaroSal Naro is a seasoned leader with 4+ decades of experience. As Chief Investment Officer and Senior Managing Director of Coherence Credit Strategies at Tiptree Advisors, a division of Tiptree Inc., he has led high-performing investment teams and strategies. Most recently, he oversaw a top-performing liquid long/short credit hedge fund that has earned multiple accolades for its success.

The latest Nomad Futurist podcast features Richard Lukaj, Co-Founder and Senior Managing Director at Bank Street, alongside co-hosts Nabeel Mahmood and Phillip Koblence. From humble beginnings to becoming a leading figure in technology, media, and telecom investment banking, Lukaj's journey is a testament to resilience, determination, and the transformative power of education.Lukaj's story begins in an Italian refugee camp, where his parents sought a better future. He reflects on the circumstances that led them to leave their homeland:"The thing that caused my parents to leave their homeland was seeking employment. They lived in an environment where employment wasn't possible for them due to discrimination and apartheid regime at the time in former Yugoslavia.”Despite growing up in a challenging environment, Lukaj saw education as his gateway to new opportunities. He shares how continuous learning broadened his perspective:"I found my academic pursuits in large measure – kept opening up new horizons, new perspectives, new opportunities – over time … I knew of nothing else that could open up those kinds of pathways.”While he was initially drawn to engineering, Lukaj's career took an unexpected turn after he attended a lecture that reshaped his ambitions. This pivotal moment led him to explore the intersection of finance and technology:"I happened to hear a speaker talk about the coalescence of finance and engineering as being something that my generation is going to see a lot more of. And I felt like I had been investing pretty heavily on more of my technical education, but hadn't really thought about finance or economics.”Through every challenge, Lukaj credits family support and optimism for helping him persevere. He reflects on the tenacity that adversity instilled in him:"We had trials and tribulations, but I think in many cases it built a family of great resilience and in some respects an optimism that had to overcome all of the drudgery that was around us on an average day.”This engaging conversation with Richard Lukaj offers listeners a compelling narrative of perseverance, the value of education, and the power of seizing opportunities in unexpected places.Stay connected with Lukaj on LinkedIn to learn more.
