In this parable from Luke 19, Jesus tells a story that at first feels like a simple “use your gifts” lesson, but it runs deeper when you sit with it. The nobleman goes away, leaves money with his servants, and comes back to see what they've done with it — and while two step out in courage and invest faithfully, one is driven entirely by fear and hides what he's been given. The real tension in the story isn't that the nobleman is harsh, but that the people reject his kingship — a reminder that rejecting Jesus' lordship leads us into broken places, not because He's cruel, but because we're choosing our own way. The heart of it comes down to this: fear will always talk us out of obedience, out of faithfulness, out of stepping into what God has called us to do. But when we trust God and move forward with courage — even in uncertainty — God grows what He's placed in our hands. So as we head into the weekend, this parable invites us to let go of fear, lean into faith, and be bold with what God has entrusted to us.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

What happens when you mix a sex-positive grandma, a childhood spent figure-skating on frozen lakes, and a lifetime of dismantling religious shame… with modern parenting, porn, and kids with iPads? In this episode of Skin and Soul: Beyond the Pale, I sit with Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers — therapist, educator, and author of Sex, God & the Conservative Church and Shameless Parenting — for a wildly honest, surprisingly funny conversation about raising shame-free kids in an over-sexualized world. We talk about babies discovering their genitals in the bath, toddlers who just want to hug everyone, and why “hands in your pants at the dinner table” is not a crisis but an invitation to teach boundaries without shaming desire. Tina walks us through what real “family life education” looks like from 0–18, why one hundred tiny, awkward one-minute chats beat the one Big Talk, and how to start when you feel like you're years too late. We go there with porn, phones and tablets, patriarchy, boys' right to say no too, and how to help our kids recognize exploitation instead of becoming numb to it. We also talk about re-parenting ourselves, healing the little one inside who never got these conversations, and the strange grace that can show up with aging parents and dementia. This one is for the exhausted, tender, secretly terrified parents who still want their kids to know: your body is yours, your pleasure is good, and you never have to trade your soul to belong.
In Luke 19:1–10, the familiar story of Zacchaeus reminds us just how wide and surprising the grace of Jesus really is. Zacchaeus was not only short in stature but a chief tax collector—someone people literally and figuratively looked down on. Yet while the crowd grumbled that Jesus would dare share a meal with a sinner, Zacchaeus responded to Jesus' welcome with repentance and generosity, declaring that grace was already transforming his life. When Jesus says, “Today salvation has come to this house… for the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost,” He makes it clear that no one is beyond belonging, mercy, or restoration—not Zacchaeus, not us, and not the people we're tempted to write off. This story invites us to receive grace with humility and to extend it with open arms, seeing others the way Jesus sees them and remembering that all of us are beloved children of Abraham.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Today is our 600th episode, and in true S+T fashion, we're all over the joint. Mel talks about the concept of celebrating a 'day day' she saw on the Shameless podcast insta page, and calculates how many days old we are - and it turns out, one of us has a big day day on the horizon. We also have a bit of a judge about Meghan Markle and her bid to be relatable, and Britney's weasel ex-husband Kevin Federline and his new tell-all book. We also share our Loving and Loathings, and why we're conflicted about the new Michael Jackson's biopic. Enjoy! Fancy supporting us on Patreon? Find out more here.

In Luke 18:35–43, Jesus heals a blind man who refuses to be silenced and cries out all the louder for mercy, reminding us that Jesus not only restores physical sight but also gives us spiritual sight — the kind that helps us recognize God's grace and work in our lives. Like the blind man, we're called to persist in prayer even when we feel unheard or discouraged, trusting that Jesus always hears our cries and may be working in ways we can't see. As we grow older, we often realize how limited our vision once was, and even now we continue to ask, “Lord, let me see again,” knowing that He is still shaping our eyes, hearts, and understanding. The story encourages us to keep praying, keep calling out, and keep seeking the clarity only Jesus can give, believing that He will help us see what truly matters.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Few films strike the perfect balance between dark humour, bleak violence, and unforgettable characters quite like Fargo (1996). In this week's Born to Watch deep dive, the boys return to the bitter cold of Minnesota to revisit a Coen Brothers classic in our full Fargo Movie 1996 Review. Whitey, Gow and Morgz each recount their own memories of first seeing Fargo, or in Dan's case, pretending he remembers anything from the 90s, before jumping headfirst into one of the most uniquely crafted crime films ever made.The episode kicks off with the lads debating their first screening. Whitey vividly remembers dragging everyone to the Dendy at Martin Place, feeling like a highbrow film buff discovering something special. Gow recalls the off-beat charm hitting him straight away. Dan, naturally, remembers nothing, except that he probably recommended the film, selected the seats, and probably did everything else. Classic Morgz. From there, the group dives into just how extraordinary Fargo's cast was at the time. The Coens pulled together a line-up of "relative nobodies" only to turn them into household names nearly three decades later.The chat quickly turns to Minnesota cold weather, obscure fast-food chains, and one of the great running bits of the episode, exactly how many times Morgz allegedly found himself "accidentally" next to someone mid-romp during their travels. The boys also unpack the brilliance of Frances McDormand's Marge Gunderson, who doesn't even appear in the film's first 34 minutes but completely owns the narrative once she arrives. She's sharp, funny, methodical, and easily one of the greatest characters of the '90s.Whitey breaks down the film's critical reception, comparing its Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb scores with those of past Born to Watch heavy hitters, such as Jaws, Rocky, The Terminator, and Catch Me If You Can. Morgs jumps in with Film School for Fuckheads, exploring how the Coens weaponised "Minnesota Nice" to create tension using politeness, silence, and awkwardness as narrative devices. From the meticulously written stuttering dialogue in William H. Macy's script to the off-kilter pacing of small-town conversations, the Coens built an atmosphere where the horror is subtle, creeping, and drenched in snow.Gow rolls through the cast, shining a spotlight on Steve Buscemi's legendary "funny looking" performance and the near-silent menace of Peter Stormare, who delivers only 18 lines across the film yet becomes one of its most iconic figures. The boys get into the famous wood-chipper scene, the fake "true story" marketing trick, and how half the audience in 1996 genuinely believed the events were real.There's also classic Born to Watch chaos, from detours into Shameless, to the worst movie endings ever made, to hookers in Hawaii, to Playboy magazines in glove boxes, to the eternal question: "Would you make sure your licence plates were right if you'd just kidnapped someone?" Just another Wednesday on Born to Watch.The crew rounds things out with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, celebrating the film's tight 94-minute runtime, near-perfect dialogue, incredible performances, legendary cinematography from Roger Deakins, and the deep satisfaction of a crime story where normal, everyday people take centre stage.Fargo isn't just a film, it's a vibe. A cold, bleak, funny, violent, polite vibe that the Born to Watch boys unpack with equal parts nostalgia and nonsense. Strap in, grab your Arby's, and enjoy one of our best episodes yet.#YouBetchaJOIN THE CONVERSATION Is Fargo the greatest dark comedy of the '90s? Does the wood-chipper still make you squirm?

In Luke 18:31–34, Jesus plainly tells the disciples that He will be betrayed, mocked, killed, and raised on the third day, yet Scripture says they couldn't understand because it was “hidden from them.” This reminds us that while we long for clarity and want to see God's full plan for our lives, sometimes He intentionally withholds understanding until the right time. Just as the disciples didn't need to grasp every detail because the saving work belonged to Jesus alone, we too are called not to control the plan but to trust the One who does. In seasons where God's answer feels like “not yet” or “no,” we're invited to rely on His timing, His goodness, and His quiet work behind the scenes, believing that He will reveal what we need to know when the time is right.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 18:18–30, Jesus meets the rich young ruler who wants to know what he must do to inherit eternal life, and while the man has kept all the commandments, Jesus exposes the real issue in his heart—his wealth has become his idol. Jesus tells him to sell everything and follow Him, showing that true discipleship means surrendering whatever we love more than God. Wealth itself isn't condemned, but when anything—money, status, comfort, approval—sits on the throne of our hearts, it keeps us from fully following Jesus. The passage reminds us that salvation is impossible on our own but possible with God, and it challenges us to honestly ask what idols we need to lay down so that Christ can be first in our lives.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 18:15–17, people bring their children to Jesus, and when the disciples try to turn them away, Jesus stops them and says, “Let the little children come to me.” In a culture where children were seen as unimportant, Jesus flips the script—He not only welcomes them but says the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Then He adds that unless we receive the Kingdom like a child, we'll never enter it. That kind of faith is simple, trusting, and open-hearted—free from the doubts and cynicism that so often weigh us down as adults. Jesus calls us back to that pure, childlike trust that simply believes, “Jesus loves me.” So today, let's approach Him with that same humble faith—ready to receive His grace, to welcome others with open arms, and to rest in the love of the One who welcomes us all.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 18:9–14, Jesus tells the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector—a story that flips expectations upside down. The Pharisee, respected for his devotion and moral life, prays proudly, thanking God that he's not like “that sinner.” Meanwhile, the tax collector, despised by society, humbly stands at a distance and prays, “Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner.” And it's the tax collector—not the Pharisee—who goes home right with God. Jesus reminds us that it's not our appearance of righteousness that saves us, but a humble heart that knows its need for mercy. I've learned that lesson myself—thinking I had it all together, only to realize how much I still needed grace. So today, let's stay humble, stop comparing ourselves to others, and keep praying that simple, powerful prayer: “Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner.”Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Parce que… c'est l'épisode 0x662! Shameless plug 17 au 20 novembre 2025 - European Cyber Week 25 et 26 février 2026 - SéQCure 2026 14 au 17 avril 2026 - Botconf 2026 28 et 29 avril 2026 - Cybereco Cyberconférence 2026 9 au 17 mai 2026 - NorthSec 2026 3 au 5 juin 2025 - SSTIC 2026 Description Introduction et parcours professionnel Youna Chosse-Bentabed est ingénieure en sécurité réseau spécialisée en social engineering (ingénierie sociale). Son parcours illustre une transition intéressante du monde très technique des réseaux vers l'aspect humain de la cybersécurité. Cette évolution s'est amorcée par la création de contenu sur LinkedIn, où elle démystifiait les concepts de hacking pour un large public. Cette démarche l'a menée à une prise de conscience fondamentale : si le hacking technique et physique est important, c'est le hacking humain qui constitue la clé de voûte de la sécurité informatique. Pour approfondir ses compétences, elle s'est formée aux États-Unis auprès de Christopher Hadnagy, considéré comme une référence mondiale en social engineering. Son objectif est désormais de démocratiser cette expertise en France et en Europe, où le domaine accuse un retard par rapport aux États-Unis, similaire à celui qu'avait le pentesting il y a quinze ans. Qu'est-ce que le social engineering ? Le social engineering est défini comme l'art de manipuler les autres pour obtenir des informations ou atteindre un objectif précis. Cette pratique prend de multiples formes dans notre quotidien : phishing (courriels frauduleux), vishing (appels téléphoniques), smishing (SMS), et intrusion physique. La réalité est que nous sommes tous exposés à ces attaques de manière constante. Une statistique particulièrement révélatrice indique que 72 % des incidents de sécurité impliquent un facteur humain. Pourtant, lorsqu'on demande au public qui pense avoir déjà subi une attaque de social engineering, peu de mains se lèvent, témoignant d'un manque de conscience de la régularité de ces menaces. Les services offerts aux entreprises Youna propose deux approches principales pour accompagner les organisations. La première consiste en des masterclass d'une à deux journées, particulièrement adaptées aux TPE, PME et collectivités territoriales disposant de budgets limités. Ces formations combinent théorie et exercices pratiques pour que les participants deviennent acteurs de leur sécurité et apprennent à penser comme des hackers. La seconde approche implique des audits réels avec intrusion physique, cartographie des vulnérabilités et identification des failles humaines. La solution la plus efficace pour augmenter la vigilance consiste à attaquer régulièrement l'entreprise dans le cadre de contrats à long terme (de un à cinq ans), avec des campagnes de phishing, vishing et smishing adaptées aux besoins spécifiques. L'intrusion physique, bien que moins fréquente, représente l'aspect le plus excitant du métier, nécessitant reconnaissance, création d'une légende (pretexting) et planification minutieuse de la mission. La culture du “no blame” Un principe fondamental de l'approche de Youna est la culture du “no blame” (sans reproche). Cette philosophie est essentielle car tout le monde peut tomber dans les pièges du social engineering, et il est contre-productif de culpabiliser les employés. L'expérience montre qu'une personne piégée une fois a moins de chances de récidiver. L'approche consiste à gamifier le processus, à rendre la remontée d'informations gratifiante et à accompagner les personnes qui se font prendre de manière constructive. Cette culture doit être établie dès le départ avec le top management et clairement intégrée dans les contrats. Les biais cognitifs exploités Les attaquants exploitent de nombreux biais cognitifs, dont plusieurs sont particulièrement efficaces. Le biais d'urgence est probablement le plus puissant, souvent associé au phénomène d'amygdala hijacking. L'amygdale, cette petite zone du cerveau qui assure notre survie depuis des millions d'années, nous fait perdre 60 % de notre capacité de raisonnement face à une situation d'urgence. La bonne nouvelle est qu'il n'existe jamais de situation réelle nécessitant une réaction dans les 30 secondes. Prendre 20 à 30 secondes pour respirer et se questionner permet de réactiver le raisonnement. D'autres biais fréquemment exploités incluent le biais d'autorité (difficile de remettre en question un supérieur, un médecin ou un policier), le biais de réciprocité (notre désir naturel de rendre service) et le biais de conformité (si tout le monde le fait, je le fais aussi, et l'importance d'être cohérent avec l'image qu'on projette). Stratégies de défense et formation La défense la plus efficace commence par la prise de conscience de l'existence de ces biais. Toutefois, la formation purement théorique ne suffit pas, car les réactions exploitées sont émotionnelles et 90 % de nos actions quotidiennes relèvent de l'automatisme. D'où l'importance cruciale d'exercices pratiques et concrets qui permettent d'observer différemment les situations et soi-même. La formation doit être récurrente et non ponctuelle. L'idéal est d'établir un lien direct avec l'utilisateur lorsqu'il clique sur un lien malveillant, en lui expliquant immédiatement ce qui s'est passé et pourquoi, permettant une intégration directe dans la mémoire. L'aspect éthique et l'ocytocine Youna met l'accent sur l'éthique de son travail. Formée dans cette optique par Christopher Hadnagy, elle applique le principe de laisser les gens qu'elle croise dans un meilleur état qu'avant leur rencontre. Elle n'utilise jamais de chantage, de blackmail ou de techniques de coercition basées sur la peur. Un concept fascinant abordé est celui de l'ocytocine, l'hormone de la confiance. Cette hormone, connue comme “l'hormone de l'amour”, est ce qui permet aux humains de travailler ensemble à travers le monde avec des personnes qu'ils n'ont jamais rencontrées. Le pic d'ocytocine se produit particulièrement lorsque quelqu'un nous dit qu'il nous fait confiance, créant un rapport fort et une envie de rendre service. Paradoxalement, la coopération et la confiance s'avèrent être des leviers extrêmement efficaces en social engineering. L'écoute active fait des miracles, et les gens ont naturellement tendance à beaucoup parler lorsqu'ils se sentent écoutés et validés. Conclusion et perspective globale Le social engineering dépasse largement le cadre de la cybersécurité d'entreprise. Les techniques et biais exploités sont identiques à ceux utilisés dans la désinformation, la manipulation de l'information et l'influence des démocraties. Dans un contexte d'infobésité et de bulles de filtres, développer une culture de vigilance de l'information devient essentiel, tant pour protéger l'entreprise que pour mieux comprendre le monde dans lequel nous vivons. La clé réside dans deux éléments fondamentaux : le jeu et la connaissance de soi. Créer une responsabilité collective où chacun devient acteur de la sécurité, tout en développant sa capacité à se connaître et à identifier quand on est manipulé, constitue la meilleure défense. Cette approche transforme la vulnérabilité humaine en force, en mobilisant notre capacité d'apprentissage et d'adaptation. Youna poursuit cette réflexion dans son podcast “Human Ecos”, où elle explore les liens entre cybersécurité, sciences humaines, philosophie et psychologie, offrant une vision non cloisonnée de ces enjeux qui façonnent nos sociétés et démocraties contemporaines.

In Luke 18:1–8, Jesus tells the Parable of the Persistent Widow to remind us to pray always and not lose heart. I love this story because it's both honest and funny—the unjust judge finally gives in, not because he cares, but because the widow simply won't quit! Jesus uses that image to show us something powerful about faith: if persistence can move someone who doesn't care, how much more will it move the heart of a God who loves us deeply? Prayer isn't about bothering God—it's about trusting Him enough to keep coming back. Even when we don't see answers right away, we keep praying, keep showing up, and keep believing. So today, whatever you're carrying, don't give up. Be like that widow—faithful, persistent, and full of hope—because our God hears, loves, and will move in His perfect time.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Ces documents, souvent exigés par les grandes entreprises ou les assureurs pour établir des relations commerciales, représentent un véritable casse-tête pour les PME qui ne possèdent pas de certifications reconnues. Les invités partagent leur expérience et offrent des conseils pratiques pour naviguer dans cet univers complexe. Un cauchemar universel Dès le début de la conversation, le ton est donné avec humour mais réalisme : même pour des experts en sécurité informatique, la vue d'un de ces formulaires donne envie de changer de métier. Les participants tiennent à rassurer les entrepreneurs en leur confirmant qu'il est tout à fait normal de trouver ces documents épuisants et frustrants. La complexité de ces formulaires ne reflète pas l'incompétence de ceux qui doivent les remplir, mais plutôt un problème systémique dans la manière dont ils sont conçus. Le principal défi réside dans le fait que ces formulaires ne se ressemblent jamais et ne sont basés sur aucune référence standardisée. Chaque client ou assureur développe son propre questionnaire, ce qui oblige les PME à tout recommencer à zéro à chaque fois, sans pouvoir réutiliser le travail effectué précédemment. Deux grandes catégories de formulaires Les experts identifient deux grandes familles de questionnaires. Premièrement, il y a les formulaires orientés vers la vente, que les entreprises doivent remplir pour répondre aux exigences de sécurité de leurs clients potentiels. Dans ce contexte, la pression commerciale est forte et il devient tentant de répondre favorablement à toutes les questions pour ne pas perdre un contrat. Deuxièmement, il existe les formulaires d'assurance cyber, qui présentent des enjeux différents et encore plus critiques, car les réponses peuvent avoir des conséquences directes sur la couverture en cas d'incident. Des critères parfois absurdes L'un des aspects les plus frustrants de ces formulaires est que certains critères sont tout simplement irréalistes ou dénués de sens. Les invités partagent l'exemple mémorable d'un appel d'offres gouvernemental qui exigeait un outil de scan capable de détecter les vulnérabilités futures. Ce critère éliminatoire était techniquement impossible à satisfaire, démontrant que les personnes qui rédigent ces formulaires ne sont pas toujours des experts techniques. Un autre problème majeur est le manque d'adaptation aux différentes tailles d'entreprise. Les mêmes formulaires sont souvent envoyés à des multinationales et à des compagnies de cinq personnes, avec des questions comme “Avez-vous un centre d'opérations de sécurité ?” Une PME de cinq employés ne devrait logiquement pas avoir besoin d'un tel centre, mais si la réponse négative est éliminatoire, cela crée une situation impossible. La tentation et ses dangers Face à ces formulaires complexes et parfois irréalistes, la tentation de mentir ou d'embellir la réalité est forte, particulièrement dans un contexte de vente où refuser de répondre positivement peut signifier perdre un contrat. Les invités admettent honnêtement que personne dans l'industrie ne peut prétendre n'avoir jamais répondu “oui, mais…” à une exigence qu'ils ne remplissaient pas exactement. Cependant, les experts insistent sur une distinction cruciale entre les formulaires de vente et ceux d'assurance. Pour les formulaires de vente, il peut être acceptable de répondre positivement en s'engageant à mettre en place les mesures requises après avoir signé le contrat. En revanche, pour les formulaires d'assurance, mentir est extrêmement dangereux. L'exemple frappant d'une ville en Ontario dont l'assureur a refusé de payer suite à un incident parce que l'authentification multifacteur n'était pas déployée comme déclaré illustre les conséquences désastreuses de fausses déclarations. L'enjeu financier des incidents Les participants rappellent qu'un incident de sécurité peut coûter cent mille dollars par jour, ce qui représente une somme catastrophique pour une moyenne entreprise et peut même mener à la fermeture pour une petite structure. Dans ce contexte, avoir une assurance cyber est crucial, mais elle ne sera d'aucune utilité si l'assureur peut prouver que les déclarations étaient mensongères. Les experts comparent la situation à l'assurance habitation : personne ne fait de feu de camp dans son salon en se disant que l'assurance couvrira les dégâts. De la même manière, l'assurance cyber ne devrait pas servir d'excuse pour négliger les mesures de sécurité de base. Des réponses de bonne foi mais erronées Un autre problème soulevé est celui des personnes qui répondent aux formulaires de bonne foi mais qui donnent des informations inexactes par manque de connaissance technique. Quelqu'un peut sincèrement croire que l'authentification multifacteur est correctement déployée dans son entreprise alors que la configuration n'est pas complète ou que certains produits n'ont jamais été testés. De plus, la situation peut évoluer entre le moment où le formulaire est rempli et la survenue d'un incident, par exemple si une licence n'a pas été renouvelée. Solutions et recommandations Face à ces défis, les experts proposent plusieurs pistes de solution. La première est de poser des questions lorsque c'est possible, particulièrement quand une relation existe avec le client potentiel. En cherchant à comprendre le besoin réel derrière la question, on découvre parfois que des solutions moins coûteuses ou différentes de ce qui était initialement imaginé peuvent satisfaire l'exigence. Se faire accompagner par un expert est également fortement recommandé. Un spécialiste peut aider à vulgariser le jargon technique, comprendre l'intention derrière chaque question et identifier si l'entreprise possède déjà des mesures équivalentes sous une forme différente. Par exemple, la question pourrait porter sur des protocoles spécifiques comme DKIM et SPF, mais l'intention réelle est de savoir si l'entreprise a mis en place une protection contre l'hameçonnage, ce qui peut être accompli par d'autres moyens comme la formation des employés ou des outils anti-spam. Pour les entreprises qui font face régulièrement à ces questionnaires, obtenir une certification de sécurité peut s'avérer rentable à long terme. Bien que coûteuse, une certification permet souvent de court-circuiter les longs formulaires ou d'obtenir une version simplifiée. En calculant le temps humain nécessaire pour répondre à de multiples questionnaires détaillés sur deux ou trois ans, l'investissement dans une certification peut se justifier financièrement. Les invités encouragent également les entrepreneurs à consulter leur réseau professionnel. D'autres PME ont certainement dû affronter les mêmes formulaires et peuvent partager leur expérience, leurs stratégies et leurs apprentissages. Un appel à l'amélioration En conclusion, les experts reconnaissent que malgré tous les problèmes identifiés, ces formulaires partent d'une bonne intention. Les grandes entreprises cherchent légitimement à se protéger en s'assurant que leurs fournisseurs ne représentent pas une porte d'entrée pour des cyberattaques. Le problème réside dans l'exécution et le manque de standardisation. Les participants encouragent les PME à également challenger leurs propres fournisseurs sur la sécurité, tout en évitant de créer des formulaires interminables qui ne seront même pas analysés en profondeur. L'appel final est à la compréhension mutuelle de l'intention derrière les questions, autant pour celui qui pose les questions que pour celui qui y répond, afin d'avancer ensemble vers un écosystème numérique plus sécuritaire.

In Luke 17:20–37, Jesus reminds us that the kingdom of God isn't something we wait to see appear “out there” — it's already here among us. The Pharisees wanted to know when it would come, but Jesus shifts the focus from when to where— and the answer is right in the midst of God's people. The kingdom is breaking in now through grace, mercy, and love lived out in everyday acts of faithfulness. But Jesus also points ahead to the day when the Son of Man will return — suddenly and unmistakably — calling us to live ready, not fearful. We live in the “now but not yet” of God's kingdom: it's already begun, but it's not yet complete. So while we wait for all things to be made new, we live faithfully, doing good, loving others, and letting God's light shine through small acts of kindness. The kingdom is now — and it's coming in fullness.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Parce que… c'est l'épisode 0x660! Shameless plug 17 au 20 novembre 2025 - European Cyber Week 25 et 26 février 2026 - SéQCure 2026 14 au 17 avril 2026 - Botconf 2026 28 et 29 avril 2026 - Cybereco Cyberconférence 2026 9 au 17 mai 2026 - NorthSec 2026 3 au 5 juin 2025 - SSTIC 2026 Description Parcours professionnel de Michel Gaudette Michel Gaudette possède plus de 25 ans d'expérience dans le secteur technologique montréalais. Son parcours a débuté dans les années 90 chez Discrete Logic, une entreprise spécialisée dans les effets visuels 2D, l'incrustation et la correction couleur, avant que celle-ci ne soit rachetée par Autodesk. Attiré par l'énergie des startups, il a quitté cette position stable pour rejoindre une jeune pousse en tant que VP technologie, une aventure qui s'est soldée par un échec lors de l'éclatement de la bulle technologique. Cette expérience l'a néanmoins “intoxiqué” à l'univers des startups et à l'innovation de pointe. Son parcours l'a ensuite mené chez Quebecor, où il a passé 10 ans à développer une plateforme numérique désormais utilisée par des millions d'élèves québécois. Après avoir quitté Quebecor en 2020 pour rejoindre une startup en agrotechnologie, la pandémie de COVID-19 a fait échouer ce projet avant même son premier jour de travail, les investisseurs ayant retiré leur financement. Il a par la suite dirigé une filiale nord-américaine d'une entreprise allemande de modélisation 3D avant de rejoindre FLIR il y a deux ans et demi, recommandé par un ancien collègue qui décrivait FLIR comme la meilleure entreprise montréalaise pour laquelle il avait travaillé. Le rôle fondamental du product manager Michel définit le rôle de directeur de produit comme celui d'un orchestrateur ou d'un coach. Le product manager ne réalise pas directement le travail technique, mais s'assure que chaque membre de l'équipe performe à son meilleur niveau. Son rôle consiste à équilibrer trois dimensions essentielles : les besoins des clients, les objectifs d'affaires de l'entreprise et les capacités de l'équipe d'ingénierie. Cette position requiert des compétences particulières et multidimensionnelles. Le product manager doit pouvoir communiquer efficacement avec les développeurs passionnés et parfois têtus, tout en comprenant les enjeux commerciaux et les attentes des clients. Michel souligne qu'il a rapidement pivoté de l'ingénierie vers ce rôle après avoir découvert son intérêt pour le contact client, réalisant qu'on ne peut pas simultanément être “dans la zone” de développement et gérer les interactions constantes qu'exige la gestion de produit. Un aspect crucial du rôle est la capacité à dire non. Le product manager doit constamment prendre des décisions qui optimisent la capacité de l'équipe d'ingénierie tout en restant aligné avec la stratégie globale. Quelqu'un qui cherche à rendre tout le monde heureux en permanence ne fait pas correctement son travail. Gestion des parties prenantes et priorisation L'un des défis majeurs pour un product manager réside dans la gestion des demandes anecdotiques provenant des vendeurs et de l'équipe de support client. Les vendeurs peuvent vouloir une fonctionnalité immédiate pour conclure une vente, tandis que le support peut signaler des problèmes urgents. Le product manager doit replacer ces demandes dans un contexte holistique : est-ce vraiment prioritaire pour l'ensemble des clients et pour l'entreprise? Michel insiste sur l'importance d'écouter les clients, une approche qui résout la moitié des problèmes. Chez FLIR, les clients ont l'opportunité de parler presque directement aux équipes, créant une relation de confiance. Plutôt que de promettre des changements massifs dans 12 mois, l'équipe privilégie des améliorations incrémentales constantes. Cette approche transforme certains clients en co-créateurs et ambassadeurs du produit. Méthodologie et évolution organisationnelle FLIR a adopté une méthodologie inspirée de Shape Up, développée par Basecamp, avec des cycles de travail de 8 semaines. Les product managers présentent des propositions de projets, et les dirigeants (CTO, CEO, CPO) votent sur les priorités. L'équipe de développement travaille ensuite sans interruption pendant ces 8 semaines. L'entreprise a récemment atteint un niveau de maturité où elle développe une vision stratégique et un plan à plus long terme. Avec un doublement de la clientèle chaque année, FLIR doit mettre en place des processus plus robustes de gestion et de communication. Michel précise qu'un processus n'est essentiellement qu'une “manière de communiquer ensemble” dans une organisation en croissance où les collègues peuvent se trouver à Toronto, aux États-Unis ou ailleurs. Culture d'équipe et valeurs humaines Michel critique fermement le mythe du “10x engineer” toxique popularisé par la Silicon Valley. Il compare la gestion d'une équipe technologique à celle d'un groupe musical : chaque membre doit jouer la bonne note au bon moment, en harmonie avec les autres. Quelqu'un qui arrive avec un ego surdimensionné ne fait pas corps avec l'ensemble et nuit à l'harmonie globale. Chez FLIR, l'équipe privilégie des personnes passionnées mais capables de collaborer. La diversité des talents et des contributions est essentielle. Michel souligne que même les développeurs les plus talentueux ne pourraient pas, à eux seuls, soutenir le rythme et la complexité du travail accompli collectivement. La prise de décision chez FLIR est remarquablement rapide. L'entreprise évite les débats interminables : si une décision est réversible, l'équipe avance rapidement. Cette culture du momentum attire des personnes à l'aise avec l'action et l'imperfection, sachant qu'ils pourront se réajuster au besoin. Bien que ce ne soit pas une démocratie, chaque voix compte et est entendue. Processus d'embauche et travail hybride Le processus d'embauche chez FLIR est personnalisé et orienté vers la collaboration. Les candidats rencontrent directement les personnes avec qui ils travailleront et participent à des sessions de résolution de problèmes au tableau pendant 2 à 3 heures. L'objectif n'est pas de piéger les candidats mais d'évaluer la chimie, la communication et la compatibilité culturelle. FLIR fonctionne comme une entreprise remote par défaut, mais favorise l'embauche locale à Montréal pour faciliter les interactions. Les employés viennent naturellement au bureau pour des raisons précises : brainstorming, kickoffs de projets ou événements sociaux. Michel est convaincu que l'idéation et le brainstorming fonctionnent mieux en personne, mais que la production individuelle se fait souvent mieux à domicile. Cette approche rejoint le meilleur des deux mondes. Conclusion Michel Gaudette incarne un product manager qui place l'humain au centre de son approche. Son expérience démontre l'importance de ce rôle souvent dans l'ombre, mais essentiel à la coordination entre les besoins techniques, commerciaux et clients. Chez FLIR, cette philosophie centrée sur la collaboration, l'agilité et le respect mutuel a permis à l'entreprise de doubler sa clientèle chaque année tout en maintenant une culture saine et dynamique dans le secteur exigeant de la cybersécurité.

In Luke 17:11–19, Jesus heals ten lepers who cry out for mercy, but only one — a Samaritan — returns to give thanks. This story beautifully reminds us that gratitude reveals true faith. The lepers' healing restored more than their health; it gave them back their lives, their communities, and their dignity. Yet nine kept going, while one stopped to worship. That's the challenge for us — not to take God's blessings for granted, but to pause and thank Him. Like that one grateful leper, we're called to recognize God's mercy, to see His hand in every good thing, and to let gratitude shape our hearts. Because when we stop and give thanks, we don't just acknowledge what God has done — we draw closer to the One who made us whole.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

A spoken word piece about family wounds, estrangement, and choosing to live unapologetically. From Elvis dying on Mount Marcy to stalking Death Valley stars—this is what shameless looks like when you stop trying to be the son they ordered.
In Luke 17:1–10, Jesus turns from the crowds to His disciples with a few short but powerful lessons about how to live faithfully. He warns us not to cause others to stumble — reminding us that our words and actions shape the faith of those watching us. He calls us to hold one another accountable, to lovingly correct those who wander, and to freely forgive those who repent — even when it's hard. When the disciples cry out, “Lord, increase our faith,” Jesus reminds them that even faith as small as a mustard seed can do great things, because it's not about how much faith we have but Who our faith is in. Finally, He calls us to simple, humble obedience — to serve faithfully without seeking praise. The message is clear: watch your witness, stay accountable, forgive freely, and above all, be faithful — because God can do extraordinary things through ordinary faithfulness.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

This parable of the rich man and Lazarus reminds us how easy it is to overlook people right in front of us. The rich man had everything but missed what mattered most — compassion. He saw Lazarus every day but never really saw him, and even in eternity, his heart hadn't changed. Jesus uses this story to challenge how we view others and what we value. Every person — whether a CEO, a custodian, a cashier, or a neighbor — bears the image of God and is loved deeply by Him. Today, let's open our eyes to the people we might normally pass by and love them the way God loves us — freely, fully, and without distinction.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

This passage shows us how easy it is to miss the heart of God's Word. The Pharisees loved money and used the law to justify themselves, twisting it whenever it suited them. Jesus calls them out and reminds us that while the gospel has come, the intent of God's law still stands — it's about love, mercy, and faithfulness, not control or appearances. The danger for us is the same: we can know Scripture, quote verses, even win arguments, and still miss Jesus in the process. The Bible isn't meant to make us right — it's meant to make us new. So today, let's not read for information or justification, but for transformation. Open your Bible, listen for God's voice, and let His Word shape your heart.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

This parable can be confusing at first, but when you step back, it's really about stewardship and the heart. The “dishonest” manager isn't praised for being shady — he's praised for being shrewd, for using what he had while he could. Jesus isn't telling us to be manipulative; He's reminding us to be wise with what's been entrusted to us. Everything we have — our money, gifts, time, opportunities — ultimately belongs to God. The question isn't how much we have, but how we're using it. Are we serving God or serving wealth? Because we can't do both. Our job isn't ownership — it's stewardship. So today, let's use what God's given us well, not for our own gain, but for His glory and the good of others.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 15, Jesus' parable of the Prodigal Son shows us what grace really looks like. The younger son demands his inheritance early, squanders it in wild living, and ends up broke, starving, and feeding pigs—until “he comes to himself” and remembers his father's goodness. When he heads home, the father runs to meet him, embracing him before he can even finish his apology. That's the picture of God's love—extravagant, undeserved, and full of joy. But the older brother, who's stayed home and done everything “right,” grows bitter when grace is shown to someone who doesn't deserve it. The father reminds him, “This brother of yours was lost and is found,” calling him back into the same grace. Both sons are lost in their own way—one in rebellion, the other in resentment—but the father's love reaches for them both. We've all been the prodigal at some point, and the good news is that the Father still runs to meet us and says, “Welcome home.”Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 15, Jesus tells the story of the lost son—or really, the lost sons—to show us the depth of the Father's love. The younger son rebels, squanders everything, and hits rock bottom before “coming to himself” and returning home, only to be met by a father who runs to embrace him—a shocking act of love and grace in that culture. The older brother, though outwardly obedient, reveals a hardened heart, resenting his father's mercy and refusing to join the celebration. Both sons are lost in different ways: one through rebellion, the other through pride. Yet the father's love reaches out to both, calling them home.

In Luke 15, Jesus tells another “parable of lost things”—this time about a woman who loses one of her ten silver coins and searches tirelessly until she finds it, rejoicing when she does. The coin likely represented something deeply personal and valuable, perhaps part of her marriage dowry or future security, making its loss more than just financial. Through this story, Jesus shows us God's heart for the lost: every single person matters, and heaven rejoices when even one sinner repents. Just as the woman lights a lamp and sweeps the house until her treasure is found, God never stops searching for us. We're reminded not to forget what it felt like to be lost, nor to lose the joy of being found. The gospel isn't a test of goodness—it's a rescue story of relentless grace, where God celebrates every soul that comes home.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Luke 15 opens heaven's heart, showing us God's relentless love through stories of lost things — a sheep, a coin, and two sons. When the Pharisees grumbled that Jesus “welcomes sinners and eats with them,” they missed the point: sharing a meal meant sharing life, and Jesus was declaring that the lost mattered to God. In the parable, the shepherd leaves ninety-nine sheep to search for the one that's gone astray, reminding us that God's math is mercy — every single soul matters. Each of us has been that one sheep, carried home on the shoulders of grace, and as followers of the Good Shepherd, we're called to love as He loves — to go after the lost, to welcome the broken, and to rejoice when grace brings someone home.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In November 2019 a video surfaced in which Robach can be heard complaining—off-camera and apparently unaware she was being recorded—that ABC News had shelved a 2015 interview she conducted with Virginia Roberts Giuffre (formerly “Virginia Roberts”)—one of the women accusing Jeffrey Epstein and members of his circle of sexual-trafficking of minors. The tape (ultimately leaked by the activist group Project Veritas) includes Robach claiming that higher-ups at the network told her “Who's Jeffrey Epstein? No one knows who that is. This is a stupid story.” She also suggests the reason the story was killed was pressure from the British royal family via the palace, because the allegations involved Prince Andrew. In the tape Robach says: “I tried for three years to get it on… What we had was unreal… Bill Clinton — we had everything.”In response, both Robach and ABC News issued statements. Robach said she was “caught in a private moment of frustration,” clarifying that the 2015 interview “didn't meet our standards” for airing because the network could not secure sufficient corroborating evidence, and that she was referencing what Giuffre alleged, not what ABC had verified. ABC News stated that while “not all of our reporting met our standards to air,” they have never ceased investigating Epstein's story and continue to dedicate resources, including a documentary and podcast series. They also stated that the story was not quashed for access reasons.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Acting is weird, brutal work. Fargo star William H. Macy breaks down why desperation makes great art — and how he finally learned to act at age 60.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1223What We Discuss with William H. Macy:Character is defined by action, not words or backstory. What you do reveals who you are, making desperation and relentlessness compelling on screen.The best actors are bulletproof against criticism of their craft because they commit fully to their choices without seeking approval or worrying about being flattering.William didn't truly learn to act until his 60s on Shameless. Getting his 10,000 hours taught him to drop baggage and focus only on what's essential in the moment.Really look and really listen. This simple technique transforms performances because genuine attention makes others self-conscious and creates authentic reactions.Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses. Happiness comes from accepting who you are and doing what you're naturally good at rather than fixing every flaw.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Who doesn't love a roadmap or a step-by-step blueprint to get from Point A to Point B?! Sometimes, as we are just going about our daily lives, we don't realize that we are, in fact, following a path without even realizing it. As I've been helping leaders build out intentional journeys in growth over the last few years, I've realized a handful of key steps that come together to create a powerful roadmap to leadership success. When your path to leadership success is intentional rather than accidental, you position yourself for unshakable long-term success and legacy building. I am in the process of more publicly sharing the leadership pathway I've been guiding my coaching clients on. In this episode, I'm finally sharing my Shameless Leadership Ascent, a four-part roadmap to your leadership success. After seeing too many leaders with inadequate leadership development opportunities, I realized how much is being left on the table when leaders aren't given specific growth opportunities. I see leaders with so much untapped potential on the constant verge of burnout because they haven't built a proper foundation from which to lead. In my Shameless Leadership Ascent, I break down the four stages every leader needs to move through to build a leadership legacy that lives long beyond your current role: Awaken (how you see yourself), Amplify (how you share yourself), Advocate (how you bring others with you), and Advise (how you grow others). Listen in as I walk you through each stage so you can see exactly how to build your leadership legacy in a clear and conscientious way. When leaders have a foundation of high self-awareness, strong emotional intelligence, and a deep understanding of their opportunity to influence others in a positive way, they build high retention cultures that are wildly innovative, engaged, and energized. In contrast, when leaders ascend too fast without doing the foundational work, they lead from their ego instead of wisdom - gatekeeping, relying on authority over trusting relationships, hoarding opportunities instead of opening doors, and perpetuating the toxic work environments. These leaders create high turnover, high burnout cultures that are devoid of trust, motivation, and engagement. While these cultures are often masked as “high-performance”, they are commonly rife with fear and dissatisfaction to the point that many employees are constantly planning their exit strategies. Whether you're doing your own leadership development work or you're responsible for building leadership capacity in your organization, the Shameless Leadership Ascent is your roadmap to sustainable, transformative leadership.

Bill Maher sits down with Fargo star and Shameless legend William H. Macy for a wildly funny, unfiltered ride through the craft of acting, poker, politics, and the chaos of Hollywood.

The two swap stories about fame, risk, and the art of staying grounded in an industry built on illusion. And Bill tries rye whiskey – and somehow turns it into a debate about corn.
