With over a billion creators projected to be active in the next decade, is the traditional distinction between a brand, a publisher, and a creator in need of an updated definition? Agility requires not just reacting to new platforms, but fundamentally rethinking who creates your content and how you build an authentic community around it. It's about moving from a campaign mindset to an ecosystem mindset. Today, we're going to talk about the seismic shift in the media landscape, driven by the explosive growth of the creator economy. We'll explore how the very definition of a creator is evolving from a short-term influencer to a long-term brand builder, and what opportunities and challenges this presents for established brands that are trying to earn and keep their audience's attention. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Andrew Perlman, Co-Founder and CEO at Recurrent. About Andrew Perlman Andrew Perlman is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Recurrent.

In this episode of Grounded and Aligned™, Karen Gombault addresses a pressure most senior leaders recognize immediately: how to stay focused when the organization feels unsettled. A new CEO, a reorganization, acquisitions, limited communication, and leadership turnover can quickly create uncertainty. At the same time messages, meetings, and internal speculation compete for your attention. If you are operating with significant scope, your ability to decide what deserves your focus becomes central to your effectiveness. This episode looks at how senior leaders can direct their attention deliberately and avoid being pulled into noise that adds no value.Karen looks atHow leadership changes and reorganizations increase distraction and dilute executive attentionThe discipline of focusing on what you can control, including decisions, time allocation, and prioritiesThe expectation that senior leaders provide steadiness when teams feel unsettledThe impact of gossip and speculation on anxiety, productivity, and decision qualityThe cumulative effect of constant digital interruption on focus and performanceHow dissatisfaction or stagnation in a role can make distraction more likelyAt VP and SVP level, focus is not a personal productivity preference. It directly affects your credibility and impact. In uncertain conditions, your attention determines what moves forward and what stalls. Choosing where you invest it is part of the role.Next steps

Marketing used to feel more predictable. You picked your channels, launched a campaign and tracked performance in a fairly linear way. Today? Consumers are bouncing between social, search, streaming, AI tools, connected devices and more—all before making a decision. In this episode, Matt Fanelli joins Tessa Burg to unpack what's actually broken in marketing measurement and how leaders can rethink performance in a fragmented world. Matt breaks down why platform-led measurement often misses the mark, how attribution gets messy when multiple touchpoints influence a purchase and why defining “what success really looks like” is the first step most marketers skip. The conversation explores real-world examples—from healthcare to retail—and explains how better attribution, smarter use of AI and stronger human oversight can help teams build trust in their numbers again. If you're responsible for performance, budget allocation or defending marketing results to leadership, this episode will give you a clearer framework for measuring what matters. It's a practical conversation about cutting through the noise, focusing on quality over volume and building measurement strategies that actually reflect how people buy today. Leader Generation is hosted by Tessa Burg and brought to you by Mod Op.  About Matt Fanelli: Matthew Fanelli is Chief Revenue Officer at Digital Remedy, where he leads commercial strategy, revenue operations, and go-to-market execution as the company scales its performance-driven media platform.

A CMO Confidential Interview with Bill Zengel, B2B Practice Leader and SVP of the Association of National Advertisers (ANA). Bill explains how there's nearly $2 trillion in hidden brand value in the B2B space, how to become one of the 39% of B2B marketers who are confident, why marketers should focus on contribution versus attribution, and why measurement is more complicated in the B2B space. Key discussion topics include: why one of the main emotions in B2B buyers can be fear of failure; the importance of being on the "Day One List;" and how to avoid the forces that drive conservative creative in a time where breakthrough matters. Tune in to hear if you suffer from "lead addiction" and how many fries are in a Burger King serving. The Confident B2B Marketer: The 8 Markers That Separate Winners (with ANA's Bill Zengel)Only 39% of B2B marketers describe themselves as “confident.” In this episode of CMO Confidential, Mike Linton sits down with Bill Zengel (SVP, B2B Practice Leader at the Association of National Advertisers) to break down what the top performers do differently—and why “confidence” is really a proxy for measurable commercial contribution.Bill shares the research behind ANA's Confident B2B Marketer study (built from a survey of 200 senior marketers) and the operating system it points to: measurement first, then AI readiness built on a real data foundation, modern ABM, buyer-group/channel strategy, brand and creativity, and the martech stack that makes it all work. The conversation also gets into the leadership tension that keeps teams stuck—lead addiction, short-term performance thinking, and the core emotion that drives B2B buying: fear.What you'll learn:- Why B2B marketing is still unevenly managed—and why that's changing- The 8 “markers” that correlate with B2B marketing success- Why AI readiness is mostly a data foundation problem- The shift from attribution arguments to contribution language- Why lead addiction and “performance marketing” create short-term traps- How fear shapes B2B creativity (and how winners still take smart risks)- Why customer reviews and existing customers matter more than most teams admitResources mentioned:- ANA B2B Practice: https://www.ana.net/b2bChapters:00:00 Welcome + today's topic (The Confident B2B Marketer) + Bill Zengel01:38 Why so many B2B studies (measurement, accountability, contribution)03:01 Is B2B marketing worse managed than B2C?04:35 From “Marcom” to buyer groups + younger self-serve buyers06:00 What “confident” means + how ANA designed the study06:23 Why Bill fielded the study + surveying 200 senior marketers07:42 The “biomarkers” story: how to identify what actually matters09:18 The 8 markers (measurement, AI readiness, ABM, buyer-group/channel, brand/creativity, data foundation, martech)11:22 AI readiness explained: why data foundations are the real constraint16:05 Measurement reframed: contribution vs. attribution17:53 Brand as a moat (and why major “B2B brands” dominate value)19:56 Lead addiction + the short-term performance marketing trap22:16 The core B2B buying emotion is fear—and why that blocks creativity25:14 The B2B brand opportunity (and why solving it extends careers)26:08 What boards/CEOs should test now to avoid getting passed27:55 The “Day One List” + how peer/customer reviews shape growth28:52 Two great stories: the missing Trojan horse + Burger King fry-counting31:28 Where to find more episodes + sign-offNew shows drop every Tuesday.

Episode summaryThis week on The Franchise Advisory Board Podcast, Dave Hansen sits down with Dr. Alan Lasky, SVP at Reliable Background Screening (and former almost-songwriter-for-the-Jacksons… casually) to tackle a topic that's getting way more complicated: how to reduce hiring risk in the age of AI, deepfakes, and “resume inflation.”Big thanks to ClientTether, our episode sponsor, for helping franchise brands automate and standardize the processes that keep operators consistent, compliant, and sane.Episode highlightsAI in hiring: embrace it… but don't outsource your judgmentAlan's clear: this isn't an anti-AI episode. AI belongs in modern hiring—but it has to be used responsibly. The core risk? Bias and compliance exposure can sneak in when AI tools are unmonitored, unmeasured, or used without clear guardrails.Key safeguards discussed:Keep a human review in the loop before AI outputs influence decisionsBe transparent with candidates that AI is being used (even “AI note-takers”)Build internal policies and training so interviewers know what to watch forThe new threat: deepfakes and fake candidatesThe numbers are trending in a scary direction:Gartner projection: by 2028, 1 in 4 job applicants could be fakeReports cited from SHRM/Forbes: 70% of candidates misrepresent themselves, with “resume inflation” accelerating via AI toolsReliable (and the broader screening industry) is responding with identity verification approaches that combine:ID upload + guided selfie video (blink/turn prompts)biometric matching to confirm the candidate is real and consistentbehind-the-scenes handling designed to stay sensitive to EEOC/ADA concernsHiring best practices that actually hold upA few practical “do-this-now” moves that came up repeatedly:Compare resume vs LinkedIn vs interview story for consistencyUse skills assessments, ideally proctored or monitored when remoteSet explicit candidate guidelines for AI use (what's allowed vs not)Train interviewers to spot red flags like inconsistencies, delays, and mismatchUse social media checks carefully—ideally filtered through a screening partner to avoid pulling in protected-class infoCompliance is getting messier: states and citiesAI regulations are already active in places like Colorado, California, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York City, and Alan notes 20+ bills are moving through the pipeline. The theme across these rules:don't discriminatedocument your policykeep a human elementdisclose AI usageOn top of that, municipal laws are adding another layer (example discussed: shifting lookback windows in certain cities), making “multi-state + multi-unit + remote hiring” a true complexity party.Adverse action: the “right to dispute” mattersWhen a background check surfaces something negative, employers need to follow adverse action practices and give candidates the chance to dispute inaccuracies—because false positives happen (aliases, shared names, court data errors, etc.). Some states are now requiring more specific disclosure about why a decision was made and how it relates to the job.Franchisors, franchisees, and joint employer riskFor brands wanting to share hiring best practices systemwide: yes, you can educate—but do it smart.Keep it informationalAdd “consult legal counsel” languageBe careful not to cross lines that create joint-employer exposureThe vibe-check takeawayAI is speeding up hiring—but it's also speeding up fraud, mistakes, and legal risk. The winning play isn't “avoid AI.” It's standardize the process, document your policy, verify identity, and keep humans accountable for final decisions.

In this episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, hosts Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent break down a volatile week in global logistics where political shifts and cartel violence are fundamentally redrawing the map of North American trade. The discussion centers on the "green gold" wars at the border, exploring a high-stakes reality where cross-border freight has shifted from a capacity challenge to a survival mission. Following the killing of a major cartel boss, violence along U.S.-Mexico freight corridors has surged, prompting shelter-in-place orders for U.S. citizens and a spike in cargo theft. Adding to the complexity, the hosts analyze the economic ripples of President Trump's new 10% global tariff, implemented in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that blocked emergency trade powers. Shifting focus from the border to the facility, Justin Malone, Director of Field Safety at The Miner Corporation, joins the show to highlight why the loading dock—rather than the open highway—is often the most dangerous part of an operation. Malone breaks down the "handoff" moment where communication between drivers and facilities frequently fails, leading to life-threatening risks. He dives deep into the phenomenon of "trailer creep," explaining why this silent killer occurs and how basic safety tools like wheel chocks and dock locks are often dangerously ignored or misused. The conversation then turns toward the financial core of logistics technology with Matthew Everson, SVP of Sales & Marketing at IntelliTrans. Everson challenges the industry's current obsession with visibility, arguing that tracking dashboards can become "money pits" if they aren't balanced against carrier economics. He asserts that the true financial center of gravity for shippers lies in carrier performance and selection, focusing on the specific KPIs that actually drive profitability. Amidst this tech-heavy discussion, Everson also notes Nashville's rise as a critical emerging hub for both logistics and technology. The episode rounds out with a look at major industry headlines, starting with a judge's approval of $150,000 UPS driver buyouts. The hosts debate whether this move signals a strategic labor reset or serves as a warning sign for the broader industry. Finally, the team covers the immediate logistical impact of a massive winter blizzard that has ground container terminals to a halt at major Northeast ports, adding further strain to an already pressured supply chain. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Sales Is King, Dan sits down in the new Midtown Manhattan studio with Craig Bowman, SVP of Public Sector at Trellix and author of the new book Craft: CIA Elite Selling. Craig brings a wild career arc to the mic—from clandestine work with the CIA and the intelligence community to building high‑performing sales teams at Adobe and now leading public sector growth at scale.Craig unpacks how CIA tradecraft, “mission first” thinking, and AI can radically upgrade how you prospect, qualify, and win in complex B2B deals. Key topics coveredThe CIA recruitment story: from a mysterious hotel lobby interview, underground parking garages, and VCR‑filled rooms to landing his first role under commercial cover.Moving from intelligence to entrepreneurship: starting, scaling, and selling his own government contracting company, then returning post‑9/11 for a new mission.Jumping into sales at Adobe: how he was recruited, doubled his salary, and built a new intelligence division by deeply understanding the mission—not just the tech.“In the mud with the customer”: why Craig literally went to the southern border with CBP to understand the mission and coined his mantra about getting in the trenches.Influence maps vs org charts: why the real power sits with the “knuckle‑draggers” in the back of the room, not just the CIO, and how to find and engage true influencers.Frameworks without rigidity: his take on MEDDIC, Challenger, and why you coach the bottom half differently while using top performers as mentors to “shift the middle.”The AI inflection point: how he rewrote his book mid‑stream to integrate AI, and why he now spends 70% of his time using AI agents as a personal chief of staff.Craig's live AI workflow: daily scripts that summarize email, corporate updates, and account intel; auto‑generated dossiers, personas, and value hypotheses. The 90‑Second Takeover: how to send a pre‑meeting hypothesis of value, then open meetings with clarity, validation, and a working session instead of random discovery.Humility as a superpower: the intern experiment that proved “humility emails” beat cold calls, and why genuine curiosity and asking for help unlock meetings.AI from the buyer's side: why your customers are already using AI to shortlist vendors and how you should be using AI the same way to qualify where you can truly win.Metrics that actually matter: the question Craig asks every customer about how they'll measure value 7 months after buying—then how he uses that in MEDDIC the right way.The seven criteria of a successful seller: why he evaluates inputs (character, curiosity, rigor) rather than just outputs (pipeline, quota).Mentors and pivotal leaders: from his grandfather and tough college professor to powerful women leaders in the intelligence community and sales leaders like Ken Karsten.Who this episode is forEnterprise and public sector sellers trying to win complex, multi‑stakeholder deals.Sales leaders looking to blend frameworks like MEDDIC with modern AI and real coaching.Rev leaders who want their teams “in the mud with the customer” instead of stuck on Zoom.Listen for these takeawaysWhy you must deeply understand your customer's mission—and often physically go to the “border” or “boat”—before pitching technology.How to build influence maps, not just chase titles on an org chart.A tested AI + email play that interns used to book meetings your team “could never get.”A simple question that turns MEDDIC metrics from guesswork into a mutual accountability pact.Connect with CraigBook: Craft: CIA Elite Selling on Amazon (hardcover, ebook, and audiobook).Bonus material & AI scripts: unlock the members section using the book, or message Craig on LinkedIn if you bought the audio version.If you're tired of canned discovery, bad qualification, and random acts of prospecting, this conversation will change how you think about mission, AI, and what “elite selling” really looks like.

Der Schwingerkönig Stucki Chrigu trifft bei Olivia Röllin in Zürich auf die Unternehmerin Magdalena Martullo-Blocher. Christian Stucki (41) oder Stucki Chrigu, wie er sich selbst nennt, ist einer der erfolgreichsten Schwinger der Gegenwart: Schwingerkönig 2019, Gewinner von zahlreichen Kranzfesten sowie des Kilchberger- und des Unspunnen-Schwingets – der seltene «Schwinger-Grand-Slam». Hätte man ihm mit 18 gesagt, dass er einmal eine Familie mit Schwingen ernähren würde, hätte er geantwortet: «Hesch en Flick weg?» – trotzdem ist es genau so gekommen. 2023 beendete der gelernte Forstwart nach über 30 Jahren im Sägemehl seine aktive Karriere, auch aufgrund von körperlichen Beschwerden. Heute teilt er sich mit seiner Frau die Familien- und Erwerbsarbeit, arbeitet mit verschiedenen Werbepartnern zusammen und ist für einen Sackmesserhersteller tätig – am liebsten aber kocht oder fischt er. ___________________________________________ Magdalena Martullo-Blocher (56) ist Unternehmerin, Nationalrätin der SVP für den Kanton Graubünden und Chefin der international tätigen EMS-Chemie-Gruppe. Sie gehört zu den reichsten Schweizerinnen, behauptet von sich aber, sie habe gar keine Zeit, Geld auszugeben, und wohnt bis heute im ehemaligen Elternhaus am Zürichsee. Aufgewachsen am See und verwurzelt in Graubünden, pendelt sie seit über zwanzig Jahren zwischen Familienleben, globalem Management und Bundeshaus. Dabei wollte sie ursprünglich Schriftstellerin werden. Entspannung findet sie in den Bergen, in der Natur oder auf Reisen in andere Kulturen, etwa nach China. Legendär ist sie für ihre pointierten Sprüche, die man sich in den sozialen Medien tausendfach angeschaut hat. ________________________________________ Magdalena Martullo-Blocher und Christian Stucki sind zu Gast bei Olivia Röllin am Sonntag, 22. Februar in der Livestage im SRF Studio Zürich. Türöffnung ist um 9 Uhr. Bitten seien Sie bis 9.30 Uhr vor Ort. ___________________________________________ Moderation: Olivia Röllin Das ist «Persönlich»: Jede Woche reden Menschen über ihr Leben, sprechen über ihre Wünsche, Interessen, Ansichten und Meinungen. «Persönlich» ist kein heisser Stuhl und auch keine Informationssendung, sondern ein Gespräch zur Person und über ihr Leben.

The discussion centers on the implementation challenges and partner enablement strategies for artificial intelligence (AI) within the technology channel. According to TD Synnex's AI Accelerator program, only a small portion of AI projects achieve active deployment and measurable ROI, with widespread difficulties cited in scaling complex AI use cases. Jessica Yeck, SVP of Vendor Solutions at TD Synnex, highlights that progress is contingent upon engaging partners at their current state of AI readiness and aligning support resources accordingly. The evidence reflects a move away from one-size-fits-all approaches toward tailored frameworks that focus on tangible business outcomes and repeatable processes. TD Synnex's revised strategy prioritizes meeting partners “where they are,” using assessment frameworks that differentiate between partners with defined AI strategies and those seeking foundational guidance. Jessica Yeck references leveraging the broader technology ecosystem—including vendors, ISVs, and hyperscalers—to deliver solutions with multi-party input. This approach enables partners to identify actionable opportunities and develop pipelines, but demands cross-functional collaboration and technical-specialist engagement, particularly as customization—rather than rigid standardization—is required for effective deployment. The episode also addresses the evolving role of technology distribution in supporting partners beyond logistics. There is explicit recognition of the importance of financial mechanisms, marketplace access, and consultative guidance for services. Jessica Yeck underscores the interconnectedness of relationship-building, competency focus, and ecosystem utilization, noting that partners do not need exhaustive in-house technical skills if they can identify and collaborate with relevant specialists. This points to a strategic shift in what services and value partners can realistically deliver. For MSPs and IT service providers, the key implications involve re-evaluating approaches to AI enablement and partner relations. Instead of prioritizing technical uniformity or attempting to master every subsystem, providers should invest in relationship management and focused competency development while leveraging broader ecosystem resources. Adoption risk is reduced when partners clearly understand their customers' primary objectives and are prepared to orchestrate service delivery with targeted technical and financial support from their distribution networks. The episode reiterates that risk and accountability in AI projects hinge on practical readiness, process discipline, and honest assessment of operational capabilities, rather than technology enthusiasm or over-reliance on standardized templates.

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale, President of DelCor, sits down with David Stephenson, SVP of Technology at Entrepreneurs' Organization, to unpack what true collaboration really means in associations and nonprofits. Together, they explore the difference between transactional vendor relationships and deep strategic partnerships, how to build psychological safety within project teams, and why honest dialogue is essential for successful outcomes. David also shares practical tactics for selecting partners, navigating conflict, and reducing organizational risk through collaborative practices.Themes and Topics:What Collaboration Really Is (and Isn't)Collaboration isn't about being nice or making sure “everyone's at the table.” It's about having the right mix of people with different perspectives.When everyone thinks the same and has the same motivations, you end up with polite agreement, not real progress.There's a big difference between just enlarging a meeting and actually collaborating with intention.Getting the Right Mix: Staff, Members, Vendors, and PartnersAssociations juggle vendors, partners, staff, and members, each with different levels of involvement and motivation.David distinguishes between people who are in the weeds with you (like design and development partners) and those who play a key but more behind‑the‑scenes role (like hosting providers).Upfront, he works to get everyone on the same page: What problem are we solving? What role do you play? What's your motive (and recognizing that everyone has one, and that's okay)?Vendors vs. Partners: Building the Right Kind of RelationshipIn his head, David does see a spectrum: some are more transactional services (SaaS products, integration tools), while others are strategic partners who need to understand mission, business objectives, and strategy.He tries not to use the word vendor in conversation and instead works to make everyone feel like a partner, even if their role is more narrow.When negotiating, he looks for a fair outcome on both sides — if a partner walks away with “really thin margins,” you end up with constant “change order” moments and a strained dynamic from day one.Honest Dialogue, Healthy Friction, and Psychological SafetyDavid values partners who can say things like “That's just not possible,” or “That doesn't align with the strategy you described,” instead of always saying yes.He expects and welcomes friction and hard conversations around timelines, costs, and expectations. If there's zero friction, something's probably off.Psychological safety is key: people need to feel they can disagree, say “I don't think this is working,” or ask tough questions without fearing for their job, contract, or relationship.Doing the Work: Projects, Postmortems, and “Disagree but Commit”David admits he hasn't “cracked the code” on postmortems, but he knows they only work if people feel safe enough to speak up during the project, not just after.When collaboration is done well, it may feel slow at the beginning, but it ultimately makes the work go faster and smoother than siloed, go-it-alone approaches.He likes setting expectations from the start: speak up when it's “cheap to disagree,” and embrace the idea of “disagree, but commit” so the team can move forward with one voice.Collaboration as Risk Reduction for the FutureDavid sees collaboration as a way to de‑risk his future; the stronger his network and partnerships, the better prepared he is for what's coming.Staying insular and only looking inside your own team or organization raises your risk, especially in fast-changing areas like technology and AI.By collaborating widely and intentionally, associati

 The Big Unlock · Dr. Andrea Willis, SVP & Chief Medical Officer, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee In this episode, Dr. Andrea Willis, SVP and Chief Medical Officer at BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, shares how payers can harness AI to advance affordable, accessible, and more human-centered care. From her clinical roots to leading population health, quality, and health equity initiatives, Dr. Willis brings a deeply personal commitment to service. She describes how AI is being deployed across care management and utilization management, not to replace clinicians or deny care, but to augment teams, accelerate evidence-based decisions, and close gaps in care. In care management, AI-powered summarization and prompting help staff stay fully present with members while improving engagement and measurable outcomes. In utilization management, transparency, evidence-based criteria, and clear documentation remain foundational to rebuilding provider trust. She also highlights that relevance matters more than data volume, and that guided self-service must balance automation with timely human escalation. Dr. Willis emphasizes transparency in prior authorization, cross-functional governance, AI literacy goals across the enterprise, and strong PHI protections. For here, scaling AI responsibly – through interoperability, collaboration, and measurable impact – is key to rebuilding trust and transforming the healthcare experience. Take a listen.

Manufacturers do not have a data problem. They have an execution gap. The dashboards exist. The reports are generated. The KPIs are reviewed. Yet too often, action stalls between insight and impact. In this episode, Jan Griffiths and Tom Roberts sit down with Zack Sosebee, SVP of Operations & Customer Success at Redzone, to explore what changes when data moves beyond visibility and into the hands of the people closest to the work.Zack shares a clear and practical vision of the connected workforce. Not as another layer of software. Not as another reporting system. But as a system of action. By giving frontline operators simple, real-time visibility through red, yellow, and green performance signals, manufacturers create clarity in the moment decisions are being made. That clarity builds accountability. And accountability drives results.What makes this approach powerful is its simplicity. Instead of overwhelming teams with endless metrics, Redzone focuses on a few meaningful signals that operators can influence hour by hour. When teams see performance in real time, they respond in real time. Maintenance is called sooner. Problems are escalated faster. Peer-to-peer competition becomes a positive force. Execution accelerates because ownership shifts to the frontline.But technology alone does not transform a factory. Coaching does. Zack explains how culture change happens when leaders reinforce new behaviors, close feedback loops, and respond quickly to issues raised by operators. When a long-tenured employee logs a safety concern and sees it fixed the same day, trust is built. When a retiring expert captures knowledge that strengthens the next generation, pride returns to the shop floor. These are not software wins. They are human wins.This conversation is a reminder that digital transformation is not about collecting more data. It is about empowering people to act with confidence and clarity. When operators think like supervisors and supervisors think like leaders, performance improves. More importantly, culture evolves. And in today's manufacturing environment, the companies that win will be the ones that move from reporting yesterday to deciding what happens next.Themes Discussed in This EpisodeWhat “connected workforce” really means in manufacturingWhy digital transformation often stalls at dashboardsOverall Equipment Effectiveness explained in simple termsRed, yellow, green real-time visibility on the shop floorCoaching vs training in culture changeTurning skeptics into championsEliminating paper logs and manual downtime reportingUsing simplicity to accelerate adoptionTechnology as an enabler of ownership, not oversightEmpowering operators to think like leadersFeatured GuestName: Zack SosebeeTitle: SVP Operations & Customer Success, RedzoneAbout: Zack is Senior VP of Operations & Customer Success at

Today Sam D'Arc is joined by Justin Zane, SVP, US Marketplace & Services at OPENLANE. We unpack why digital auctions have overtaken physical lanes in reach and efficiency, and why old habits—not economics—are keeping brick-and-mortar alive. Justin explains how off-lease inventory is reshaping acquisition strategy, where AI improves condition accuracy, and why speed is now the dealer's most valuable asset.

Fraud hasn't disappeared - it got smarter. Organized rings now aim upstream at SaaS platforms and ISVs that embed payments, where a single gap in onboarding, transaction logic, or refund flows can be scaled into thousands of attacks overnight. We sit down with Brian Rust, SVP and Deputy Chief Information Security Officer at Worldpay, to map the real fraud journey (entry, action, exit) and the concrete moves product and security leaders can make right now to protect merchants and brand trust.We start with the why: platforms offer leverage. Brian explains how bots and AI generate convincing synthetic businesses that pass weak KYC, and what early signals still break the spell - impossible form completion times, IP and address mismatches, and brand-new domains claiming long histories. From there, we dive into the middle of the kill chain: card testing. You'll hear how velocity spikes, elevated decline rates, and geo anomalies betray large-scale testing and how adaptive limits for new merchants can contain losses and prevent network penalties. Then we confront refund abuse, where attackers exploit trust by refunding to different instruments or flooding high-value returns. The fix isn't blanket friction - it's precision: refund-to-original-card only, refund velocity caps, and targeted reviews that slow bad actors while keeping good customers moving.Brian lays out the layers that matter now: device fingerprinting, behavioral analytics, and transaction monitoring that can halt suspect money movement before funds leave your orbit. He also makes the case for a fraud-cyber fusion model, aligning teams and intelligence using frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK to anticipate tactics as cyber and financial motives blend. Finally, we close with three actions you can ship this quarter: audit onboarding with bot controls and threat modeling, enforce velocity controls that adapt as trust grows, and tap your processor's data and filters (AVS, CVV) to harden defaults.If you lead product, risk, or engineering for a payments-enabled platform, this conversation gives you a practical blueprint to raise attacker costs, protect your merchants, and guard your reputation.
