**This episode is brought to you by MuteSix, Sendlane, StoreYa, and Justuno**   “It's progress over perfection,” that's a valuable lesson that Thuong learned from a mentor. In part 2, Thuong Tan, Founder and CEO of Noodelist, says everything happens for a reason. The pandemic forced her to learn every single step involved in developing instant noodles. While this was difficult, she now advises everyone to take the opportunity to understand each step in the process like she did; the experience is invaluable. Another piece of advice, just get your product out as soon as possible because there is no such thing as perfect. Thuong wanted her products to be sustainable, low in sodium, nutritious, flavorful, full of protein, and fiber-rich. She appreciates the instant noodles due to their quickness. She hopes to empower people with her noodles. The brand is planning to launch a gluten-free version as well. She discusses: * Why everything happens for a reason * Experience in pandemic * Advice for other entrepreneurs * Products and her suggestions * Super plant flavor * Empowering people Join Ramon Vela and Thuong Tan as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.

**This episode is brought to you by MuteSix, Sendlane, StoreYa, and Justuno**   “A bowl of instant happiness,” that's Noodelist. In part 1, we have Thuong Tan, Founder and CEO of Noodelist, a plant-based instant noodles brand. Thuong grew up in Finland. She worked for the Finnish government by helping Finnish companies enter the US market. She got the idea for Noodelist while doing her MBA in luxury branding. She also wanted to do something for her family and friends who loved instant noodles but avoided them due to unhealthy aspects. The brand was born to make noodles healthier. She decided to switch the harmful ingredients that competitors were offering to healthier ones. According to her, whatever you are doing starts with your passion. She believes her asset is her network. The brand launched in the middle of the pandemic; this was scary, but being brave enough to leave her comfort zone worked out for her. She discusses: * Gratefulness * Overview of the company * Her background * Noodeliest idea * Her taste testers * Being an entrepreneur Join Ramon Vela and Thuong Tan as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.

Data is getting more fragmented and harder to tie into creating a bigger picture. This is the problem that companies like Littledata are helping solve by providing a connector that enables companies to get better raw data which leads to better decisions.In this episode, Kunle and Edward talk about the importance of and challenges around eCommerce Analytics.

In part 2, Victoria Thain Gioia, Co-Founder of Perelel Heath says they are a mission-driven brand that wants to be experts in supplements for women. Community is two-way communication that gives space to members to have conversations. The brand has a conception support pack for the first, second, and third trimesters. They pair different ingredients just like how they pair vitamin C with Iron. Perelel Health has a multi-pack for both women as well as men.

**This episode is brought to you by MuteSix, Repeat, and CartText**   “To support women throughout their reproductive life,” says Victoria. Today we have Victoria Thain Gioia, Co-Founder of Perelel Health, a women's health company. What motivated her to start Perelel was her pregnancy. She learned that her daughter would be born with a cleft lip. Her doctor's found the defect was associated with a folic-acid deficiency early in her pregnancy that was not addressed with her one-size-fits-all prenatal vitamin. So she came together with her co-founder Alex to start Perelel Health. Both of them wanted to create a credible brand that supports women. They started during the pandemic with strict requirements and a strong vision of what they would include in their products.  She discusses: * Gratefulness * Overview of the company * Alex and her Background * Using folic acid * Methylated folate * Biggest challenges for the brand * Brand pillars Join Ramon Vela and Victoria Thain Gioia as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.

Nos últimos anos, as constantes revelações de esquemas complexos (e, muitas vezes, potencialmente criminosos) de campanhas políticas na internet podem ter feito as pessoas se desinteressarem do ativismo digital, uma das grandes promessas para a disputa política no século XXI. Aparentemente, sem usina de fake news, gestão massiva de comunidades, investimento pesado em dark posts e controle profundo de comunidades ocultas, pode ser impossível promover suas ideias na internet. Mesmo assim, algumas pessoas e pequenos grupos se organizam para tentar inverter essa lógica. E, mesmo sem dinheiro, conhecimentos avançados ou acesso a dados secretos das pessoas, iniciativas surgem o tempo todo no mundo tentando promover a luta digital. Uma das mais efetivas, sem dúvida, foram os Sleeping Giants, que há pouco mais de um ano impõem perdas milionárias a sites de desinformação, promovendo campanhas de boicote e cobrança a seus patrocinadores nas redes sociais. No Braincast 435, Carlos Merigo, Ana Freitas, Alexandre Maron e Oga Mendonça conversam com Leonardo Leal, um dos fundadores do Sleeping Giants BR, para saber como (e por que) fazer ativismo digital em 2021. _____ VOLVO Há algumas semanas, o minuto da Volvo no Braincast tem sido um mergulho - presencial - no novo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric. Sim, o Carlos Merigo foi até a montanha e conferiu de perto cada detalhe do primeiro carro 100% elétrico da Volvo. Dessa vez, Merigo trouxe Julio Alonso, que é especialista Volvo de produtos, para tirar todas nossas dúvidas sobre a potência dos carros elétricos no dia a dia. Descubra qual é a potência do XC40 elétrico, conheça a estabilidade desse carro e saiba até mesmo quanto tempo ele leva para ir de 0 a 100 km/h. Conheça o XC40 acessando o site volvocars.com e reserve já o seu. A autonomia está em conformidade com os ciclos de condução WLTP e EPA mas pode variar em ambiente real. Os valores são baseados no objetivo preliminar. A aguardar a certificação final do veículo. _____ WHATSAPP Vem cá, você tá cuidando direito da sua segurança online? Proteção de dados nunca é demais. Só que no meio de tantos protocolos e aplicativos, muitas vezes a gente acaba esquecendo de olhar para as formas mais básicas de se proteger na internet. E é por isso que o WhatsApp me convidou para dar uma dica importante aqui. Por exemplo, você já deve ter ouvido falar daquele golpe em que invadem seu WhatsApp e mandam mensagens para seus contatos. Tá certo que, a cada dia, os fraudadores inventam novas técnicas e tecnologias para nos enganar. Mas muita gente ainda cai nesse golpe por causa do código de ativação. O código de ativação é aquele número de 6 dígitos que você recebe por SMS toda vez que faz login no seu WhatsApp em algum outro celular - quando você compra um novo, por exemplo. Regra de ouro: nunca passe esse código para ninguém. Sim, sem perceber, tem muita gente compartilhando o código que dá acesso a todo o seu WhatsApp, agenda e informações pessoais. Os fraudadores se passam por fornecedores, amigos, e inventam uma história qualquer pra te convencer a passar essa sequência de números. Então, se um dia você receber um SMS com um código de ativação, não mande esse número pra ninguém. Pode ser alguém tentando acessar sua conta no WhatsApp. Afinal, todo mundo pode cair em golpes, mas todo mundo pode evitar. Valeu pela dica, WhatsApp! _____ ASSINE O BRAINCAST E FAÇA PARTE DO NOSSO GRUPO FECHADO Assinando o Braincast você pode interagir com a gente em grupos fechados no Facebook e Telegram, além de receber conteúdo exclusivo.

Today we have Michele Davis, Co-Founder of Cocacao, a chocolate brand. Michele has a background in accounting, while her husband Jeffrey has worked in restaurant and project management.

Asthenosphere, a geologist's term for the molten layer beneath the earth's crust, sparks a journey that stretches all the way from ancient Greece to the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Plus: What the heck is a dogberg? It's when a dog runs into you and knocks you over. This bit of slang was inspired by a professional wrestler who finished off his opponents in a similar fashion. Finally, if you're vibing with someone, you're getting along just great. The idea of vibing goes way back in history, and is well worth the effort to suss out. All that, and pretty eggs, Rhode Island dressing, how to pronounce biopic, multiple modals, Mr. Can vs. Mr. Can't, jawn, moded, and a brain teaser for movie lovers.

On today's episode, Kunle is joined by Garret Akerson, Co-Founder of Kindred Bravely, a maternity and breastfeeding apparel brand founded in 2016 along with his wife Deeanne. Kindred Bravely is a case study in female entrepreneurship and innovation which is a testament of achieving a three-year revenue growth of 8,544%.Running a profitable business is a challenge at the best of times. But if you don't have a handle on your numbers, this challenge can become insurmountable. It's fair to say that almost every business owner already recognises the power of data, and many spend a lot of money on analytics tools as well. But simply having your numbers on hand is very different from truly understanding them. Herein lies the difference between the truly profitable businesses and the rest of the pack.In this episode, Kunle and Garret talk about scaling a business with typically low-LTV products to over $30 million in revenue. You will get to hear about what it takes to deleverage from Amazon, knowing which metrics to track, why using spreadsheets still works and tips on running a business with your partner.

SMS står for Short Message Service, men de seneste uger har den lille forkortelse også betydet ballade og bøvl for regeringen. For granskningskommissionen, der egentlig skulle se på knudrede og tørre paragraffer, er blevet folkeeje. Og hver gang Mette Frederiksen har forsøgt at tale historien væk, er den dukket op igen. Senest er regeringen blevet beskyldt for at snyde vælgerne ved at gemme en historie om de slettede sms'er til efter kommunalvalget i sidste uge. Men hvordan er små beskeder endt med at være så stort et problem?

**This episode is brought to you by MuteSix, StoreYa, and Justuno**   “You have to love yourself first,” says Norma about self-love. In part 2, Norma Kamali, owner of apparel, skincare, and design lines and author of 'I am Invincible,' says, “One needs to take care of yourself by having a healthy lifestyle and respecting yourself.” To her, vulnerability is a secret which one needs to let out and set insecurities free. She also discusses questioning herself why she couldn't save her brother and dealing with vulnerability. And about love, she says it's not about age, it's when you are ready, you'll find your soulmate, which she did in her 60s. Sleep, meditation, making your bed, eating better, and exercising relieve stress and restore us. She doesn't want to age gracefully but instead with power. Norma mentions there are things people are good at. However, learning things you feel less powerful about is another kind of power that entrepreneurs need. She talked about: * Her brother's story and vulnerability * Opening up to people * Tips on self-love * Aging with power * Message for entrepreneurs Join Ramon Vela and Norma Kamali as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.

In part 1, we have Norma Kamali, owner of apparel, skincare and design lines and author of 'I am Invincible'. The whole idea behind her book is a “how-to” for women on how to be invincible throughout the decades of their life. Norma was shy and introverted but dealing with ups and downs changed her. Life is full of the next lessons that give us strength. According to her, “aging with power” is an extraordinary experience. She uses her stories to connect with people. Some of her advice includes: somebody who treats you well is fantastic and is someone you should treasure.

Maxwell, a solution architect at xMatters, took a winding road to get to where he is. After a computer engineering education, he held jobs as field support engineer, product manager, SRE, and finally his current role as a solutions architect, where he serves as something of an SRE for SREs, helping them solve incident management problems with the help of xMatters. When he moved to the SRE role, Maxwell wanted to get back to doing technical work. It was a lateral move within his company, which was migrating an on-prem solution into the cloud. It's a journey that plenty of companies are making now: breaking an application into microservices, running processes in containers, and using Kubernetes to orchestrate the whole thing. Non-production environments would go down and waste SRE time, making it harder to address problems in the production pipeline. At the heart of their issues was the incident response process. They had several bottlenecks that prevented them from delivering value to their customers quickly. Incidents would send emails to the relevant engineers, sometimes 20 on a single email, which made it easy for any one engineer to ignore the problem—someone else has got this. They had a bad silo problem, where escalating to the right person across groups became an issue of its own. And of course, most of this was manual. Their MTTR—mean time to resolve—was lagging. Maxwell moved over to xMatters because they managed to solve these problems through clever automation. Their product automates the scheduling and notification process so that the right person knows about the incident as soon as possible. At the core of this process was a different MTTR—mean time to respond. Once an engineer started working to resolve a problem, it was all down to runbooks and skill. But the lag between the initial incident and that start was the real slowdown. It's not just the response from the first SRE on call. It's the other escalations down the line—to data engineers, for example—that can eat away time. They've worked hard to make  escalation configuration easy. It not only handles who's responsible for specific services and metrics, but who's in the escalation chain from there. When the incident hits, the notifications go out through a series of configured channels; maybe it tries a chat program first, then email, then SMS. The on-call process is often a source of dread, but automating the escalation process can take some of the sting out of it. Check out the episode to learn more.

In this sponsored BDS episode, Bryan Brake and Amanda Berlin interview Emily Eubanks, a Security Operations Analyst for #Blumira. We discuss common business risks like IT staff turnover, a lack of Incident Response procedures, choosing not to follow PowerShell best practices, and MFA use for critical or sensitive applications. We also discuss ways to improve security posture to mitigate these risks as well as how Blumira can help organizations in light of these common business challenges.

Please do not use SMS based MFA for critical applications. [6] [7] This is an easy layer of defense that has historically been very effective [5] One-Time Passwords (OTP) good but [8] FIDO U2F better Consider hardware tokens (e.g. Yubico YubiKey, Google Titan Security Key). MITIGATION:  Blumira requires use of MFA MFA related detections (e.g. AWS, Duo) BLUMIRA HELPS:   Incident Response Procedures   RISK: A lack of Incident Response Procedures or the decision to postpone incident response procedures because they would result in a disruption in service typically results in unfavorable outcomes. A written plan that identifies the roles, responsibilities, and procedures that should be set in motion once an incident has been declared.  If this is overwhelming to conceptualize, know there are a good amount of free and openly available resources already in existence to help with creations of new IR plans >> I highly recommend looking at NIST documentation to get an idea of what is possible and then scale to what is appropriate for your organization [4] The plan should be reviewed at a minimum once annually with everyone who is responsible for responding to incidents present. If anybody is unclear with their role, responsibilities or procedures then the Incident Response lead should work with them to get them there.  Incident Response procedures should be like a fire drill so that when there is a real fire, the team can work together to quickly put that fire out and minimize impact to the company and their customers. (Shoutout to the BDS podcast on drawing connections from fire fighting to Incident Response procedures with Dr. Catherine J. Ullman (@investigatorchi)) MITIGATION: Workflows Blumira helps with this by providing built-in guidance with workflows. Workflows ask direct questions and provide specific options to record responses to security findings to guide practitioners towards a conclusion. provides additional details to help operators make informed decisions in response to new findings. Finding analysis  BLUMIRA HELPS:   Recent or Frequent IT Staff Turnover   RISK: impedes troubleshooting logflow and/or investigations due the a lack of familiarity with the network environment Prevention might be the best solution? Giving your workers time during the work week to improve a work related skill can help identify when a team is reaching or exceeding their resource capacity. If your team is overworked they are more likely to make mistakes, will be less prepared to go the extra mile when it is needed because they'll already be tapped out of energy, and may be more likely to consider opportunities elsewhere. You want to limit keystone employees, meaning that if an employee leaves for whatever reason you do not want that employee's absence to cause a breakdown in processes for others. Redundancy is best here in most cases IMO. MITIGATION: Blumira works hard to create fewer, more actionable findings.  We strive to keep our alerts simple to provide the information that operators need to make informed decisions. We try to focus on findings that require action and provide workflows to provide additional guidance to help share recommendations on what to investigate next to evaluate the impact of a security event BLUMIRA HELPS:    PowerShell Scripting Best Practices   RISK: Detections will be less helpful if staff are frequently dismissing events in response to approved administrative behavior like maintenance scripts. Follow the PowerShell recommendations shared by Microsoft [1] including: Sign your scripts (lol Microsoft has this bolded by the way hint hint wink wink) “another method for keeping scripts security is vetting and signing your scripts Do not store secrets in PoSH scripts; if you are doing this you're gonna want to google “secrets management” [2] and learn more about how to secure store and access secrets across an enterprise environment  Briefly, there is a powershell module for vault secret extensions [3] some vault extensions include KeePass, LastPass, Hashicorp Vault, Azure KeyVault, KeyChain, and CredMan Use a recent version of Powershell (we are on version 7, but this article recommends 5+) Enable and collect powershell logs MITIGATION: Blumira detects on malicious powershell usage.

In part 2, Rachel and Omar Ajaj, Co-Founders of Air & Anchor, mention they try strive to be transparent while telling their stories to people.
