Most agents “qualify” leads by asking one question:“Are you thinking about buying or selling soon?”That's not qualifying — that's rushing the relationship and disqualifying people who could become some of your biggest advocates.In this episode, I'll show you how top real estate agents qualify conversations based on relationship value, not just lead intent. You'll get a practical framework you can use in every conversation so you know which relationships are worth investing in long-term.You'll learn:✅ Why leads don't build your business — relationships do✅ How to move away from intent-based qualifying (“Are you moving soon?”)✅ The NOW → SOMEDAY → GAP framework to uncover real goals✅ How to spot the hidden value in “not yet” clients: referrals, future deals, and brand equity✅ A 6-step conversation roadmap plus an internal “relationship check” so you know who to actually nurtureWhen you start qualifying the relationship — not just the lead — you give every conversation a real chance to turn into business, whether that's today, next year, or through the people they refer to you.Comment “FRAMEWORK” if you want my full relationship-first conversation scripts and follow-up plan.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with my good friend, business strategist, consultant and author, Jessica Lackey, for a candid conversation about what it really takes to build a sustainable business—especially when you have an ADHD-ish brain. Jessica shares her journey from Harvard, McKinsey, and Nike to the wild world of entrepreneurship, revealing how even with such impressive credentials, she found herself trapped in the endless loop of online business tactics, quick fixes, and shiny promises.Drawing on her upcoming book, Leaving the Casino: Stop Betting on Tactics, and Start Building a Business That Works, Jessica explains why so many of us end up gambling away our sanity (and savings) on the latest tactics, instead of building actual strategies that work for our lives and brains. Get ready for frameworks, real talk about defining your own version of success, and practical advice on bringing more intentionality and enoughness into your business (and life). It's time to leave the casino behind—and reclaim your agency.Top Takeaways from this Episode:Start with Strategy, Not Tactics: The endless cycle of purchasing the latest digital course or marketing hack often leads to overwhelm, wasted resources, and lost confidence. Sustainable businesses are built on strategy and thoughtful decision-making, not reactive, one-size-fits-all tactics.Ask Yourself the Big Questions: Before chasing the next big thing, get clarity on key fundamentals:What type of business do you really want to run?What stage are you in?What is the right pace and amount for your life and brain?What level of responsibility and commitment matches your reality?What does “enough” look like for you? These questions ground your business in reality instead of fantasy.Don't Compare Your Solo Journey to the Big Players: The polished marketers often have large teams and structures flattening out the chaos. If you're a team of one (especially with an ADHD-ish brain), your output and path will—and should—look different.There's power in slowing down, cutting through the noise, and building a business that fits you—not a casino of empty promises.About Jessica Lackey Jessica Lackey is the founder of Deeper Foundations, a consulting and training firm that helps expertise-based business owners grow and scale sustainable companies rooted in stronger business foundations.

Send us a textWhat if the fastest way to move a client forward isn't agreeing with their limits, but holding a steadier belief in their potential than they can hold for themselves? We dive into the difference between compassion and confirmation and show how a coach's clean belief can lift a client out of a tight story and back into agency. Along the way, you'll hear a practical, step-by-step walkthrough of our Growth Model so you can transform the common “I'm overwhelmed” spiral into momentum you can actually feel.We start by naming the trap: when coaches buy into excuses around time, money, or capacity, they unintentionally anchor clients to the very constraints they want to escape. Then we pivot to the skill: see the person and their perspective as separate, ask “Even if this were true, how does focusing on it help?” and redirect attention toward small, testable actions that build proof. You'll learn how triggers like a packed calendar or an endless to-do list create a perception of overload, why that emotion predicts low-quality action or freeze, and how to interrupt the loop with a micro-commitment that restores control.Finally, we talk about real moments in the room: when belief creates enough safety for tears, breakdowns, and release. That's not a failure—it's a doorway. Hold possibility without minimizing pain, guide toward the next specific step, and let the client borrow your belief until they can stand in it themselves. If coaching is the art of building useful futures, this is the canvas: clear language, grounded compassion, actionable structure, and a higher mirror that invites people to rise.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a coach who needs it, and leave a quick review to help others find these tools. Your feedback shapes what we explore next.Interested in elevating your coaching skills and accelerating your clients' growth?

This is an episode for anyone standing on the edge of a new chapter — the entrepreneurs, the dreamers, the people who know they're meant for more but haven't taken the first step.If you've ever felt held back by fear, self-doubt, or the story you tell yourself about what's possible, Betsy's insights and lived experience will light a fire in you.

Unexpressed gratitude is perceived as ingratitude. In this episode, Andy Stanley and co-host Suzy Gray unpack one of the most overlooked leadership habits—expressing gratitude. Most leaders feel thankful for their teams but fail to say it out loud. And when we don’t express gratitude, people don’t assume we’re busy—they assume we’re ungrateful. But appreciation builds loyalty, strengthens culture, and fuels motivation far more effectively than paychecks or perks ever could.

In today's episode, I break down the true meaning of intention and why thinking alone isn't enough to change your life. I share how aligning what you say, do, think, feel, and believe creates a higher frequency that removes interference from your goals. I explain why non-negotiable behaviors—like consistency in health, gratitude, and growth—build lasting success, and why attachment to outcomes only slows progress. I also talk about mercy, humility, and frugality as the cornerstones of an intentional life, how to choose partners with values that match your own, and why paying yourself first allows you to give more and serve better.

In this episode, you'll discover why the true value of your practice isn't built when you sell—it's built every day you show up to lead it. Nathan Hayes joins me to unpack the mindset and strategies of owners who play the long game—the ones who treat every decision as an investment in their future freedom. They don't wait until retirement to think about value. They build systems that run without them. They create teams that thrive without micromanagement. And they keep their practices so well-run that buyers line up when it's time to exit.

Send us fan responses! Ever wondered why some people seem to navigate the financial world with ease while others struggle no matter how hard they work? The answer lies in understanding the powerful distinction between public and private sectors that Don Kilam masterfully unpacks in this eye-opening episode.Kilam reveals how we unknowingly operate as "sole traders" in the public sector from birth, creating a legal amalgamation that makes us personally liable for everything associated with our legal names. This corporate structure - built through birth certificates, social security cards, and government IDs - keeps most people trapped in a system they don't fully comprehend.The game-changing revelation comes when Kilamexplains that "the private sector creates the public sector" - not the other way around. By establishing your nationality through state allegiance rather than federal citizenship, you position yourself differently within the legal framework. This shift allows you to operate under case law rather than being bound by codes and statutes that limit your financial freedom.Particularly fascinating is Kilam's breakdown of how affidavits function as "two-edged swords" in commerce. When properly executed and left unrebutted, these powerful documents stand as truth and become judgments. This explains why creating your own forms rather than filling out government paperwork is essential for maintaining control.Drawing from his remarkable journey from homelessness to financial prosperity, Kilam shares practical strategies used by the wealthy elite - from non-grantor trusts that provide bulletproof asset protection to the strategic use of stipends and fringe benefits that cover life necessities while remaining non-taxable. His insights on Nevada LLCs and other private business structures reveal pathways to privacy and tax advantages most people never discover.Ready to transform your understanding of money, law, and personal sovereignty? This episode provides the foundational knowledge needed to begin your journey from the public realm of limitations to the private world of true financial freedom.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

Waiting for lawsuits to present themselves is the worst growth strategy a litigator can have. In this episode, I get to speak with John Reed, founder and chief relationship builder at Rain BDM and host of Sticky Lawyers, to rethink business development from the ground up. His most popular episodes was about Bob Mionske, an Olympic road racing cyclist turned "bicycle lawyer." Give it a listen.  With a background spanning law, marketing, and sales, John helps attorneys translate the language of business development into practical strategies that work even within law firm cultures. Can you imagine? Known for blending creativity, emotional intelligence, and big-picture thinking, he brings a unique perspective on how lawyers can stand out authentically and effectively in a crowded market.John shares how traditional litigator traits—decisive, fast, commanding—can win in court but backfire with clients who value collaboration and reflection. He outlines a practical model for defining your professional brand through role, skill, context, and style—and explains why style may be your strongest differentiator.We also dig into how introverted lawyers can grow client relationships through substance, not small talk, and how remote mentoring can actually strengthen early-career development with the right habits and feedback.Whether you're an associate building visibility or a partner looking to expand trusted relationships, this conversation will help you make your practice more resilient, referral-ready, and strategically aligned with how clients actually buy legal services.Thanks to John for sharing his insight, humor, and practical wisdom on how to turn authentic connection into lasting business growth.Tom HagyLitigation Enthusiast and Host of the Emerging Litigation Podcast______________________________________ Thanks for listening!

Send us a textIf you've ever boosted a post on a whim, tried a week of ads, sent one email and then decided the channel “doesn't work”, this chat is for you. I sat down with strategist Simran Kaur to unpack why one-off marketing keeps stalling and what it actually takes to build momentum you can measure. We didn't chase hacks. We talked about rhythm, small tests, learning loops and the unsexy truth that consistency beats clever every time.Simran and I started with the two mindsets that sink results before you even begin: the “I already know what to do because I heard it on a podcast” camp, and the “guarantee my ROI before we start” camp. Both avoid the same hard work - talking to customers, defining success up front and sticking with a test long enough to learn something. When campaigns underperform, the answer isn't to pivot instantly. It's to isolate what actually failed: the message, the audience, the timing, the offer or the follow-up.We dug into the sales side too. There's no point generating demand if you can't respond quickly or nurture properly. If ten warm leads turned up tomorrow, who calls them, when, and with what? That gap between marketing activity and sales capacity is where good spend goes to die. Simran shared practical ways to match your activity to your ability to follow up, so you protect the brand while you scale.The through-line in all of this is ownership. Agencies and AI can help, but you still need to understand your customers' language, your numbers and your system. That means interviewing real buyers, using their words in your copy and running small, well-designed experiments before you throw serious budget behind anything. It's calmer, clearer and far more effective than campaign roulette.Key takeaways:You don't need a hack; you need a system. Start small with one audience, one message, one offer and one channel, and commit to a two-to-four-week run so you can actually learn. Don't bin a channel without a post-mortem - change one variable at a time and retest. Keep sales and marketing joined at the hip so leads get fast, human follow-up. And keep the understanding in-house: know what you're testing, what success looks like and what the numbers are telling you.What to do nextRun a single micro-test and decide the success criteria before you hit go. Speak to five customers this month and borrow their wording for your ads, emails and landing pages. Map your follow-up so new enquiries hear from you within an hour, with a clear next step. Finally, write down your simple playbook - goals, audiences, messages, channels, KPIs and who does what - so the system keeps running even when you're off the grid.DOWNLOAD MY CONTENT PLANNER - https://becchappell.com.au/content-planner/Instagram @bec_chappellLinkedIn – Bec Chappell If you're ready to work together, I'm ready to work with you and your team.How to work with me:1.

I'm coming at you straight from my office, face to face, and I want to give you the most electric, real conversation as we step into the final stretch of this year. We've got three and a half months left, and the truth is, this is when breakthroughs are born. The last 90 days can completely change your story if you're willing to go all in on one or two things that truly move the needle in your life.The real question is: are you editing your life with intention, or are you letting other people's chaos run your schedule, your energy, your choices? Successful people ruthlessly edit. They say no to what drags them backward and yes to what aligns with their future self. Where are you leaking energy? Who or what is keeping you stuck in an old version of you?I share a story from when I was younger about learning how to balance a checkbook, late to the game, yes, but it gave me a lesson I carry to this day: when you discover where your debits and credits really are, you take back control. Same goes for your energy now. Audit it. Claim it. Decide if what you're doing is fueling your vision or draining it.This episode is a call to get uncomfortable, to walk into the arena and be visible again. Stop hiding. Stop waiting. Choose to insert yourself back into your own life. Because quitting happens when curiosity dies, and if you're not learning about yourself, you're not growing. These last three months aren't about being busy, they're about being intentional, doubling down on what matters, and showing yourself you're capable of more.So the challenge is simple: What do you need right now? What are you grateful for? And what are you willing to double down on for the rest of this year to build the life and the self you've been saying you want?www.fitzlife.ca

No Ceiling, No Excuses: How To Stop Stalling Your Dream and Start Building Your Life by Christopher J. Capuano https://www.amazon.com/No-Ceiling-Excuses-Stalling-Building/dp/B0FGJY8366 Noceilingnoexcuses.com You don't need more hours in the day. You don't need another degree. You need to stop waiting and start building. No Ceiling, No Excuses is part memoir, part workbook, part blueprint. It's for anyone who knows they're capable of more but needs the tools and push to get started. Chris Capuano didn't come from money, mentorship, or stability. He grew up in chaos: addiction, instability, and uncertainty, and still managed to build a life of freedom, ownership, and real success. He walked away from a stable union job with benefits, a vacation fund, a pension, and a guaranteed retirement to bet on himself and build something from the ground up. No connections. No playbook. Just hunger, grit, and the belief that he was made for more. Inside, you'll find: • Lessons learned the hard way from family struggles to job sites to business ownership • The H.U.S.T.L.E. framework that changed everything • Sales, mindset, and leadership skills that actually work • How to build revenue streams that work when you're not • A raw look at what it means to grow when life stacks the deck against you This isn't fluff. This isn't theory. This is what happens when you stop waiting, stop stalling, and start building something real. If you feel stuck, burned out, or just ready for a new chapter, this is your sign. This is your permission. This is your starting point. Because there is no ceiling. Only the one you choose to live under. Let's get to work. About the author Chris Capuano is living proof that your starting point does not define your finish line. He has worn every hat you can imagine including busboy, server, power washer, dropshipper, Uber driver, real estate agent, union steamfitter, and now entrepreneur. Chris walked away from a stable six-figure career in the trades to chase something bigger: freedom, ownership, and impact. He did not have investors or shortcuts. What he had was drive, grit, and the unshakable mindset that there is no ceiling on what you can build. Raised in a home surrounded by addiction and chaos, Chris did not just beat the odds. He flipped them in his favor. Survival mode taught him resourcefulness. Street smarts turned into systems. Pain became purpose and purpose became profit. Chris has helped thousands of businesses streamline operations, process over one billion dollars in payments, and build systems that create income around the clock. He brings real-world hustle, straight-talk strategy, and a relentless belief that if you want it bad enough you will figure it out. He lives on Long Island with his wife and their four cats, proof that even the hardest hustlers have a soft side. No Ceiling No Excuses How to Stop Stalling Your Dream and Start Building Your Life is his first book and his loudest message yet.

It's never too late to start building a financial plan, but the more time you have to make your money work for you, the better. Developing good financial habits early on increases your chances of achieving financial independence, and starting in your 20s is even more beneficial.  Links: Start your savings journey with Triangle's Goal Builder tool Start your investment journey with Triangle's Financial Planning services Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union   Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.   Many Americans often delay building a financial plan until they're much further along in life, typically waiting for unexpected circumstances to push them into action. This habit of postponing critical decisions can create unnecessary stress and limit our ability to grow wealth. Instead of taking charge, we allow life's pressures to dictate our financial choices, which can hinder long-term success.  If you're in your early, mid, or late 20s, now is the perfect time to prioritize your financial future. Don't wait for a life event to motivate you! Starting your financial journey now enables your money to grow and compound over time, giving you a distinct advantage.   Take the initiative to outline your financial goals. By working to develop healthy financial habits early on, you'll empower yourself to make informed decisions that will lead to lasting financial security. The actions you take today will pave the way for a brighter future—don't hesitate to seize this opportunity!  Here are a few practical things you can do in your 20s to start building wealth early:   PAY YOURSELF FIRST – Make it a point to develop good saving habits. Whether you're working part-time while in school or recently graduated and working full-time, whenever you get your paycheck, set aside a portion of your income into a savings account for emergencies or other savings goals. Any percentage is good, but somewhere around 10% is a widely accepted rule of thumb. Use a savings too like Triangle's Goal Builder tool within online and mobile banking to start your savings plan.  START INVESTING EARLY – Investing early in your 20s is one of the smartest financial moves you can make. The most significant advantage is compound growth—your money earns returns, and those returns earn returns, snowballing over time. Starting early also gives you more time to recover from market fluctuations, build wealth gradually, and potentially retire earlier or with more financial freedom. Explore financial resources, such as books, or connect with a financial professional to help you set up a solid investment portfolio. If you're ready to an investment journey, get started with Triangle's Financial Planning services. Visit trianglecu.org to learn more and get in touch! AVOID BAD DEBT -  Not all debts are created equal. Some are better than others. Bad debts are types of borrowing that do not contribute to building wealth or generating future income. They often come with high interest rates and are used to purchase depreciating items like clothes, electronics, or luxury goods that lose value quickly. Unlike good debt, which can be an investment in your future (like student loans or a mortgage), bad debt can trap you in a cycle of repayment without long-term benefits. Avoiding bad debt is important because it protects your credit score, reduces financial stress, and allows you to focus on saving and investing for your future.  LIVE BELOW (OR WITHIN) YOUR MEANS – Find a way to manage your money in a way that keeps you from overspending. Practicing good financial management habits can help reduce excessive spending, which might interfere with savings goals and even lead to increased debt. Understand your income and set up a budget that covers your living expenses, encourages saving, and allocates some money for fun, discretionary spending. Adopting frugal living, such as cooking at home instead of eating out, reducing food delivery services, and avoiding impulse purchases, is a great way to ensure you're living within your means and avoiding lifestyle creep. BUILD MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME – In your 20s, you have a unique opportunity to explore various skills that can lead to extra income streams. As you build your career experience, seize the opportunity to diversify your earnings. If you're training to become a teacher, consider tapping into the lucrative world of online tutoring as a side gig. Additionally, if you possess talents in writing, graphic design, video editing, or social media management, platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer are excellent avenues to generate extra income. With so many exciting options at your fingertips, you can boost your revenue while simultaneously refining your skills and expertise.  If there are any other tips or topics you would like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

Hey friends, Chase here. Ever feel like life's just… happening to you? You wake up, check your phone, go through the motions. Weeks blur into months. You're busy but not fulfilled. Productive but not progressing. Here's the hard truth: If you're not intentional about what you're building, you'll drift. And drift leads to regret. But here's the good news: You can choose to stop drifting—today. You can start building what actually matters most to you. In this episode, I break down 10 core principles for doing just that. These aren't quick hacks or lofty theories. They're hard-won lessons from world-class performers, artists, and makers who've mastered their craft and their lives. Here's a taste of what we get into: Why simplicity beats complexity every time (stop overcomplicating your goals) How to harness resistance instead of fighting it Why passion isn't optional—it's fuel for the hard stuff The hidden cost of “bad” practices you don't even realize you're repeating How to ditch autopilot and consciously design your days The big idea? You are what you practice. Every choice, every habit, every action is shaping your future. The question is: are you practicing the life you want—or one you'll want to escape? This isn't about doing more. It's about doing what matters. On purpose. So take a breath. Look around. And ask yourself: What am I really building? This episode will help you answer—and take the first steps toward it. Until next time—stay intentional, and keep creating.

A $10 billion fraud vector is currently exploiting a common feature in many cloud-native applications: the SMS verification flow. This isn't a traditional breach. Instead of stealing data, adversaries use bots to trigger costs that are quietly absorbed into your company's operational budget, often showing up as an inflated cell phone or marketing bill.We spoke to Frank Teruel, COO at Arkose Labs about how this fraud works at a technical level and why modern, automated cloud workflows can be a perfect hiding place for these costly attacks. He also shares a story of how a single cloud container was hijacked, costing a company half a million dollars in compute costs for crypto mining over one weekend.This is a critical conversation for anyone working in cloud security, DevOps, and engineering who wants to understand the financial risks embedded in the very architecture of their applications.Guest Socials -⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Frank's LinkedinPodcast Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@CloudSecPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security BootCamp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AI Cybersecurity PodcastQuestions asked:(00:00) The $10 Billion Invisible Threat(02:40) Frank Teruel's Journey into Digital Identity(03:35) Why Identity Remains a Weak Spot for Cybersecurity(05:35) The Evolution of SMS Fraud(07:20) The "$5M Surprise Bill" Story(08:55) What is SMS Toll Fraud?(11:19) Does WAF Catch SMS Fraud?(12:49) Cloud vs. On-Prem: Is One Safer From SMS Fraud?(14:00) Does Single Sign-On Help With This?(15:55) How a Gaming Attack Becomes a Bank Heist(24:54) How AI is Weaponized for Cloud Attacks(25:35) The $500k Cloud Bill from a Hijacked Container(31:18) The Attack Vectors Cloud Teams Underestimate(35:30) What Are "Smart Bots"?(36:46) Where to Start Building a Program Around Fraud?(40:16) Fun Questions: Grandkids, Cooking & Music

Send us a text!When you think about building a band of brothers or a tribe of men, several practical questions arise: Are you a tribal leader? Should you join another tribe? Does this exist where you are? Are the men around you rowing in the same direction as you? In this episode, Dan Berkholder, Ethan Senn, and Tate Taylor talk about practical aspects for building a local tribe. They'll talk about establishing a vision, organizing, and setting the course of activities that should unite the tribe. They continue working out some practical help after reading Stephen Mansfield's book, Building Your Band of Brothers. Unfortunately, not every church or community will make for a good tribe of men, so context is really important. Likewise, not every man is a leader, so it's important to establish if you have the right constituent parts to work with in the first place.Find the book Building Your Band of Brothers here: https://www.amazon.com/Building-Your-Brothers-Stephen-MansfieldFuel your training with Mt.
