Co-founder and CEO Jessica Murrey joins the Exchange to discuss her groundbreaking impact in the digital tech gaming industry.

Every fundraiser on the planet has, at some point, wished they could have a prep conversation with a donor before they actually sit in front of them to make an ask of any kind.  But that's silly. That's not possible. Instead, most of us settled for half-baked role playing with a colleague from time-to-time.  And that was helpful. Sort of. But it was never exactly what we needed. It was never dialed in as much as many of us wanted. The result?  Many of us still walked into donor visits and meetings nervous, unsure of ourselves, and unprepared to navigate […] Chapters (00:00:00) - Rainmaker Fundraising: Guest Interview(00:01:17) - Practical Learning for Fundraisers(00:03:31) - Facebook's First Paying Customers(00:03:50) - Why I Launched a Tech Company(00:08:10) - How the Fear-Based Fundraising System is Changing the Way(00:11:10) - Baker Fundraising: From Friendly to Fundraising(00:15:46) - The New Way to Coaching(00:18:28) - How To Raise Money With a Board of Directors(00:19:38) - Beyond the Money Flow(00:24:21) - Fundraising Goals and Motivation(00:26:15) - The New Goal-oriented Meeting(00:28:28) - "A Touch of Mercy"(00:29:17) - Give Like a Corporate Coach(00:31:08) - Coaching of the Leader(00:33:54) - Practivated: How to Navigate the Challenging Personality of(00:38:38) - A Few More Favors For You

Black Hat 2025 was a showcase of cybersecurity innovation — or at least, that's how it appeared on the surface. With more than 60 vendor announcements over the course of the week, the event floor was full of “AI-powered” solutions promising to integrate seamlessly, reduce analyst fatigue, and transform SOC operations. But after walking the floor, talking with CISOs, and reviewing the press releases, a pattern emerged: much of the messaging sounded the same, making it hard to distinguish the truly game-changing from the merely loud.In this episode of The Future of Cybersecurity Newsletter, I take you behind the scenes to unpack the themes driving this year's announcements. Yes, AI dominated the conversation, but the real story is in how vendors are (or aren't) connecting their technology to the operational realities CISOs face every day. I share insights gathered from private conversations with security leaders — the unfiltered version of how these announcements are received when the marketing gloss is stripped away.We dig into why operational relevance, clarity, and proof points matter more than ever. If you can't explain what your AI does, what data it uses, and how it's secured, you're already losing the trust battle. For CISOs, I outline practical steps to evaluate vendor claims quickly and identify solutions that align with program goals, compliance needs, and available resources.And for vendors, this episode serves as a call to action: cut the fluff, be transparent, and frame your capabilities in terms of measurable program outcomes. I share a framework for how to break through the noise — not just by shouting louder, but by being more real, more specific, and more relevant to the people making the buying decisions.Whether you're building a security stack or selling into one, this conversation will help you see past the echo chamber and focus on what actually moves the needle.________This story represents the results of an interactive collaboration between Human Cognition and Artificial Intelligence.Enjoy, think, share with others, and subscribe to "The Future of Cybersecurity" newsletter on LinkedIn.Sincerely, Sean Martin and TAPE3________✦ ResourcesBlack Hat 2025 On Location Closing Recap Video with Sean Martin, CISSP and Marco Ciappelli: https://youtu.be/13xP-LEwtEAITSPmagazine Studio — A Brand & Marketing Advisory for Cybersecurity and Tech Companies: https://www.itspmagazine.studio/ITSPmagazine Webinar: What's Heating Up Before Black Hat 2025: Place Your Bet on the Top Trends Set to Shake Up this Year's Hacker Conference — An ITSPmagazine Thought Leadership Webinar | https://www.crowdcast.io/c/whats-heating-up-before-black-hat-2025-place-your-bet-on-the-top-trends-set-to-shake-up-this-years-hacker-conferenceLearn more and catch more stories from our Black Hat USA 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/bhusa25Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageCitations: Available in the full article________Sean Martin is a life-long musician and the host of the Music Evolves Podcast; a career technologist, cybersecurity professional, and host of the Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast; and is also the co-host of both the Random and Unscripted Podcast and On Location Event Coverage Podcast.

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. In this episode, the crew is joined by special guest Rebecca Rettig, Chief Legal Officer at Jito Labs, to unpack the biggest legislative week in crypto history. The Clarity Act, Genius Act, and Anti-CBDC Act all pass Congress, ushering in what some are calling a regulatory renaissance — or at least, the first real rules of the road. Bitcoin breaks $120K, memecoins rip, and Crypto Week sends shockwaves through Washington. But is the Clarity Act really the win the industry's been waiting for? Rebecca breaks down the legal nuance, Tarun questions the economic reality, and Haseeb points out Ethereum's bizarre silence during the biggest policy shift of the decade. Has crypto finally grown up — or just gotten better at playing the game? The gang dissects the laws, the loopholes, and the market's reaction to it all. Show highlights

What if your savings account was so secure that even your account number couldn't be used to steal from you? That's the kind of question Austin Capital Bank is answering; Not by thinking like a traditional bank, but by operating more like a tech company.In her debut interview on Travillian Next, Amber Buker, Chief of Research at Travillian, sits down with Erik Beguin, Founder and CEO of Austin Capital Bank, to dig into the launch of their latest innovation: Fort Knox, a high-security savings account engineered to be fraud-resistant by design. Instead of competing in the high-yield arms race, Erik and his team are creating a whole new category, one that prioritizes safety over speed and uses product design to outsmart fraudsters. Backed by a 50-person engineering team and built to withstand quantum-era threats, this conversation rewrites what a “community bank” even means.

Todd Thomas, CEO of Woodchuck, joins Megan Lynch as the demands for energy for AI server farms increase. Some tech companies are looking to create their own sources of electricity to power the systems.

Caroline Haskins, business reporter at WIRED, where she covers Silicon Valley, surveillance, and labor, talks about President Trump's plan to employ the tech company Palantir to compile data on America citizens. 

Meta is turning to nuclear energy to power its artificial intelligence.

Palestinian solidarity protesters interrupted two congressional town halls in the metro area last week, calling attention to Rep. Jason Crow and Senator Michael Bennet's support for Israel, but also the role of one of Denver's largest and most mysterious companies: Palantir Technologies. So we're revisiting a conversation producer Paul Karolyi had a few years ago with Bloomberg Businessweek reporter Max Chafkin about his reporting on the defense contractor's co-founder Peter Thiel, how Palantir makes money, and why it moved to Denver in 2020.  This episode first aired on October 18, 2021.  Chafkin's biography of Peter Thiel is called “The Contrarian: Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley's Pursuit of Power.” Host Bree Davies mentioned two stories about former Palantir workers — one about a group of employees who sent an open letter to NPR and another from More Perfect Union about a former worker who became disillusioned about the company.  What do you think about Palantir? We want to know what you think about our new neighbor!

In this episode of ABA On Call, Rick and Doug dissect the behavioral science behind app design, revealing how tech companies use variable reinforcement schedules to hijack user behavior and drive compulsive engagement. Drawing from core principles of behavior analysis, they explore how seemingly harmless interactions, such as likes, swipes, and notifications, are systematically engineered to reinforce usage patterns. The conversation moves beyond theory into the ethical minefield of digital design, especially its impact on children, teens, and vulnerable users. With examples ranging from red-dot alerts to algorithm-driven content loops, the hosts challenge behavior analysts to confront the weaponization of reinforcement and consider their role in advocating for more ethical technology.   To earn CEUs for listening, click here, log in or sign up, pay the CEU fee, + take the attendance verification to generate your certificate!
