Jim Rickards returns to The Julia La Roche Show to discuss "MAGAnomics" - the multi-faceted economic strategy of the Trump administration. Rickards explains the three-legged stool of Trump's economic policy: Bessent's 3-3-3 Plan, Navarro's tariff strategy, and Miran's "Mar-a-Lago Accord." He warns of a potential "time bomb" in the financial system if Treasury Bills are swapped for 100-year bonds, discusses why central banks are racing to buy gold, and explains why the current gold rally is "just getting started." Rickards also shares his market outlook, predicting continued market decline and potential recession before long-term economic gains can be realized. This episode is sponsored by Monetary Metals.

In this episode of the Technology & Security podcast, host Dr. Miah Hammond-Errey is joined by the Australian Independent National Security Legislation Monitor, Jake Blight. We explore a paradigm shift in our understanding of electronic surveillance, whether the moment of interception is still the most the invasive point of interception in a digital era– the current legal basis. Or, if digital tech and AI have changed processing, disclosure and sharing to the extent that the retention, analysis and dissemination of intelligence has greater significance. We explore the implications of the "mosaic effect" on public interest immunity cases – and why it can't extent to criminal law We discuss the sheer complexity and volume of national security laws in Australia, including secrecy offences and law reform. We discuss how powerful–and unique- data disruption, intel gathering and account takeover warrants in the Surveillance Legislation Amendment Identify and Disruption Act 2021 are. We discuss the INSLM review of the definition of terrorism and what it includes, as well as how the offence of preparing to commit terrorism acts have been applied to foreign interference and espionage offences, exploring the subtle distinctions between influence and interference.  Tune in for a thought-provoking examination of the intersections between national security law, technology, and intelligence in safeguarding democratic values.

When a company experiences such immense growth that the name becomes synonymous with video conferencing, the importance of security measures increases accordingly. Nathan Mills joins the podcast to discuss the risks that come along with protecting people and assets for one of the most visible, evolving companies in the world.As an Electrical Engineer with an MS in Strategic Intelligence and Project Management credentials, Mills spent the past 20 years developing, implementing, managing, and innovating enterprise risk management frameworks. He has extensive international experience as a Foreign Service Officer (Security Engineering Officer) in the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security and as the Director of Security Risk and Crisis Management at General Electric before his current role of Head of Global Security (CSO - Physical) at Zoom. Key topics of Mills' discussion with host Fred Burton include:Why the risk profile of a dynamic, highly visible product differs from a company with a more established line of business.How Mills structures his security program and the strategies he leverages to be more efficient.Advice for security teams who lead operations on a global scale and the top three things they should focus on.Key takeaways:08:29: Fred: You're working in an industry and a company that has become almost like the word Google. And you think of the success over the pandemic and how you provide such a vital business continuity resource to the private sector.09:00: Nathan Mills: Completely. Yeah, it's it's very interesting to work for a company that has become a verb and there's a lot of unique risks that come with that. In regards to the growth stage of an IPO and being new and having a lot of attention, that risk profile is very different than the ‘okay now you're established.' You've been built people are using your products you have a market. Now you're in different places in the world. Now you have people traveling a lot more and now you have an expanding portfolio of products. How does the physical security element come into play and help educate the executives and other people who are maybe not familiar with a mature physical security organization? 13:29: Fred: What advice do you have for security teams who lead operations on a global scale?14:12: Nathan Mills: One of the things that I've learned is how do you do more with less and I think that's obviously a tired cliche, but leveraging the relationships is something that I think a lot of practitioners might overlook. The ability for me to get it in front of the right people at the right time to be able to influence change is the hardest part about it. So as I was building the program the one thing I constantly talked about with my team was building relationships with intentionality knowing who your stakeholders are within our groups and reaching out to them to build a cadence and learn more about them.

Today we speak with our 100th guest, Catherine Jackson Moynihan, a true pioneer and expert in legal operations—and another great example of an allied professional driving change in the profession. Catherine is Senior Director of Strategic Intelligence & Advisory at Hyperion Research, an Epiq company. After working in product management roles for several years, she had the opportunity to join the Association of Corporate Counsel, where she started and directed the legal operation section—at a time when legal operations was not the established function that it is today. Among the numerous strategic initiatives Catherine undertook, one of her key accomplishments was developing the ACC Legal Operations Maturity Model, toolkit, and training. With mentorship from then-vice president of the ACC—and friend of the podcast—Susan Hackett, Catherine also led ACC Value Challenge (and its Value Champions awards), a program with the goal of identifying and disseminating leading practices in the industry. Today, Catherine oversees Hyperion Research, Epiq's legal operations market intelligence program, and she spearheads practical guidance and engagement opportunities for global legal executives advancing their legal transformation efforts. In our conversation, Catherine discusses how she "wandered" into the legal industry, the importance of data in Epiq's legal services management framework, training legal professionals on change management, and her research work. As always, we appreciate your time listening in on these conversations. Now, on to the next 100 guests!

This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ .   Which companies are doing the best at adopting AI? That's a very easy question to ask and a very hard one to answer - well. But answering it today is Alexandra Mousavizadeh, who done this sort of thing before with the Global AI Index and Disinformation Index. Her new company, Evident, uses nearly 150 real-time indicators to measure the adoption of AI in each company, and their first iteration of the AI Adoption Index covers the banking industry. Alexandra is returning to the show and calling in from London, where she was a partner at Tortoise Media, where she ran Tortoise Intelligence, the Index and data business. Here, she was the architect of the groundbreaking Global AI Index, released in 2019, the first to benchmark the strength of national AI ecosystems. Before Tortoise, she held roles including sovereign analyst for Moody's and Head of Country Risk Management at Morgan Stanley. She was CEO of ARC Ratings, a global emerging markets based ratings agency; and before joining ARC, she was the Director of the Legatum Institute's Prosperity Index of nations. In the conclusion of the interview we talk about the methodology behind the Index, what it means for the flow of talent and capital, the banking industry reaction to ChatGPT, and surprises about the leading companies in the Index. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines. Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.
