Retired agent Barry Black reviews two bombing cases he worked as a special agent bomb tech (SABT) assigned to the Oklahoma City Division. The first case covers the detonation of a bomb at a University of Oklahoma football game in 2005, where the subject used a type of homemade explosive that had only been used by international terrorists. The second is an undercover investigation code-named Operation Mischief Mayhem Barry worked just before he retired, where he thwarted the subject's plan to build and deploy a 1000-pound device similar to the one Timothy McVeigh used to bomb the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. These cases are included in Barry's new book, Hazardous Devices: Memoir of an FBI Bomb Technician, Accountant, and Sniper. He served in the FBI for 31 years.

Markets are deep in risk-off mode as crypto winter tightens its grip. The ECB and Bank of England both held rates, with the BoE signaling it may be nearing the end of its easing cycle. UK political turmoil hit the pound, while tech stocks continued to unravel — AMD plunged 17%, Qualcomm disappointed, and Alphabet slid after announcing a massive increase in AI spending. Precious metals saw extreme volatility again, with silver crashing 15%, gold slipping, and oil falling after the U.S. and Iran agreed to hold talks. In macro data, German factory orders surged, but Eurozone retail sales fell, raising concerns about consumer demand. In crypto, Bitcoin dropped to $69,000, pushing the market back into Extreme Fear. Bhutan appears to be selling BTC it has mined since 2019, ETH hovered near $2,000, and scrutiny intensified around Trump-linked World Liberty Financial. CME also hinted it may explore issuing its own token.

Tech stocks fell for a second day, as investors' concerns about AI disrupting work mingled with worries about chipmakers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to another episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, featuring the legendary Ray Wang. In this memorable conversation, Christopher and Ray dive deep into the latest developments shaping the world of technology, business, and careers. From dissecting recent tech earnings from giants like Apple, Meta, Tesla and Microsoft to sharing insights from Davos and contemplating the implications of AI for the future of work and entrepreneurship. This episode delivers high-caliber analysis and practical takeaways for anyone navigating today’s rapidly evolving landscape. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Lessons from Davos and the New Economic Realities Returning from a bustling Davos, Ray Wang shares his observations on how global leaders and executives are tackling an era defined by uncertainty, rapid technology adoption and a relentless pursuit of efficiency. One of Ray's core takeaways is the prevailing theme of “margin compression,” where even the world's largest corporations are working harder than ever just to achieve modest growth. Companies are now measured by their ability to scale exponentially, as illustrated by India's ISRO launching rockets at a fraction of NASA's cost, fundamentally altering competitive dynamics across industries. Ray explains that the rise of AI turbocharges this transformation by opening up “infinite possibilities.” Companies no longer just compete on physical or financial assets, but on their ability to harness vast data resources, quickly innovate and make sharp strategic choices about what problems to solve—and, crucially, what not to do. Privacy challenges, especially for companies like Apple, arise in this new era, making it difficult to deliver world-class AI solutions while maintaining rigorous data protection standards. Both Christopher and Ray emphasize that managing growth, inflation and investment are more complex than ever, with the U.S. outpacing much of the world in GDP growth, yet operating in a global environment rife with policy and market uncertainties. AI, Tech Earnings, and the Rise of the New IPO Era The conversation pivots to the massive investment and exuberance surrounding generative AI and tech infrastructure. Ray points out that while there are fears about overbuilding capacity or creating a circular funding loop among AI companies, there is still significant real opportunity. The current phase has seen enormous capital pour into building data centers and scalable AI platforms. Landmark IPOs from OpenAI, Databricks and others are expected to reshape the tech landscape. Despite market fluctuations and some outsized reactions to earnings, the fundamentals for big tech remain robust. Companies like Apple have solidified their status as luxury brands, even as others like Tesla and Meta retool and pivot to sustain long-term relevance and unlock new revenue streams such as robotics and energy. At the structural level, venture capital itself is in flux. Many VC firms have become indistinguishable from private equity, constrained both by too much and too little available capital relative to the demands of today's tech startups. The gap between small angel, family office, or solo GP funds and the mega funds has widened so much that the “middle” has all but disappeared. It is now entirely possible for one-person companies, through the leverage of AI and autonomous agents, to achieve scale and revenues previously thought impossible. Ray predicts it is likely we will see a single founder build a billion-dollar annual revenue company within the next five years, echoing the democratization and disruption that generative AI promises. Building Legendary Companies and Careers in the Age of AI Christopher and Ray close their discussion by exploring what all these rapid changes mean for leaders and individuals. For CEOs and entrepreneurs, the formula for thriving is clear but audacious. Leaders must design their companies to be fully autonomous and authentic, constantly reinventing their business as if they were attempting to disrupt themselves. Boards need to be stacked with people who grasp the new fundamentals: margin compression, exponential scale, and infinite possibilities brought by AI. Combining domain expertise with technical agility is more critical than ever, as the fusion of seasoned judgment and lightning-fast, innovative execution is where breakthroughs occur. On a personal level, Ray stresses that knowledge and execution are becoming commodities, rapidly automated by advances in AI. To stay relevant, individuals must become “macro analysts,” adept at synthesizing big ideas and patterns, deeply immersed in experimenting with new technologies and surrounded by others who are passionate about their own crafts. The traditional playbooks for career building, education, and even family strategies are being rewritten in real-time. The U.S. faces global competition for talent and innovation, and entrepreneurial energy is no longer confined to Silicon Valley or New York. The nature of immigration, investment and even educational choices must be reconsidered for new generations. In a world where the location and structure of opportunity are shifting, only those who embrace change, foster diverse collaborations and pursue purpose will continue to define the next era of legendary achievement. As both Christopher and Ray reflect, living and leading like Rob Burgess—embracing boldness, curiosity and authenticity—remains the path to being truly legendary in this rapidly changing world.

The episode focuses on current security risks and limitations in industry intelligence, highlighting that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog often lags by years in tagging vulnerabilities exploited by ransomware. One cited vulnerability sat in the catalog for 1,353 days before being flagged as ransomware-exploited, illustrating a significant delay in actionable intelligence. This gap raises concerns for MSPs whose patching priorities rely on outdated catalogs, potentially leading to a misalignment between compliance activities and actual threat vectors.Supporting this, Dave Sobel underscores how evolving threat models frequently bypass traditional vulnerability management. The recent compromise of OpenClaw's skills marketplace, with a 12% malicious rate in submitted skills and basic post-facto reporting mechanisms, demonstrates that credential theft and malicious automation now present risks outside standard patch management. The core operational challenge for MSPs is not just software vulnerability but the governance of AI-enabled tools and uncontrolled marketplaces that can expose clients to breaches.Further contextualizing risk and automation, vendor launches include Lexful's AI-native documentation for MSPs and Cavelo Flash's agentless assessment tool. These offerings promise streamlined documentation and rapid risk assessment, but Dave Sobel notes their reliance on beta features, integration dependencies, and non-definitive compliance positions. Additionally, DocuSign's release of AI-generated contract summaries raises questions about liability, as inaccurate summaries can mislead signers, and responsibility defaults to the end user rather than the vendor.The primary implication for MSPs and technology leaders is the need to inventory all AI-powered tools with access to client environments, actively govern marketplace adoption, and critically evaluate automation claims. Compliance-focused patching is no longer sufficient; operational oversight must prioritize credential management and identity governance over checklist-based approaches. Caution is advised before rapid migration to beta solutions or locking into long-term contracts, as both reduce flexibility and increase exposure to emerging, non-traditional attack surfaces.Three things to know today00:00 CISA's Ransomware Tags Arrive Years Late While AI Tools Steal Credentials Now05:53 IT Glue Founder Launches AI Documentation Platform Lexful for MSPs at Right of Boom09:52 Cavelo and DocuSign Launch AI Tools That Automate Assessments and Contract ReviewsThis is the Business of Tech.   Supported by: Small Biz Thoughts Community

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Vincent Lecerf, Executive Vice President, Human Resources at Orange, to unpack how purpose, diversity, and skills become real business levers inside a fast moving telecom and technology environment.Vincent explains why serving communities is not brand marketing, it's an operating model, from safer phones for children to digital education for seniors, and why HR must integrate DEI directly into strategy, governance, and incentives, not treat it as a side initiative.Most importantly, he shares how skills expiration, inclusive leadership, and AI acceleration are forcing CHROs to rethink reskilling cycles, leadership accountability, and how change happens with people, not to them.

   The mystery around the abduction of Nancy Guthrie from her bed while she slept sounds worse with every passing hour.  NBC's Savanah Guthrie has released a statement of hope even as authorities say they found blood and signs of a struggle in the home.  We don't know a motive and they haven't named a person of interest.  This is awful.    A whole bunch of singers said crazy things about ICE and such at the GRAMMY Awards Sunday but one in particular stands out as the dumbest.  Now she may get visitors to her house taking her up on her offer that there are no borders and nobody is illegal on any property.  This could get good.   Dan Bongino returns to podcasting and made a statement that's as lame as his work at the FBI.    In sports, the Royals have a new tv deal that should work out for you.  KU is rolling as Darryn Peterson drops two huge three pointers at the end of the game at Tech.  But Flory was the story of this one as KU's defense is just ridiculous right now.  Watch out for this team!    Mizzou has two McDonald's All Americans for the first time.  Kelvin Sampson laments the current rules of transfer and NIL, Roger Goodell is asked about Bad Bunny playing halftime and former Royal Chris Getz is now GM of the White Sox and announces an interesting change he made in the plumbing of the team's locker room.  It's our Final Final and you have to hear this.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Alicia Lyttle. SUMMARY OF THE ALICIA LYTTLE INTERVIEW From “Money Making Conversations Master Class” with Rushion McDonald [ 1. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of this interview was to: Showcase Alicia Lyttle, CEO and co‑founder of Air Innovations, known widely as the “Queen of AI.” [ Educate small business owners, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits on how to leverage AI for growth. Highlight her mission to empower the African American community to not only keep up with AI—but lead in it. [ Demonstrate how AI tools can transform operations, content creation, finances, and productivity in minutes instead of months. Inspire listeners through her entrepreneurial journey, professional pivots, and personal resilience. 2. High-Level Summary Alicia Lyttle returns to the show two years after her last appearance, now positioned at the forefront of the global AI movement. She explains how her work has shifted from annual summits to monthly AI Business Summits, teaching tens of thousands of entrepreneurs how to use AI hands‑on for content, marketing, operations, and scaling. She breaks down how simple tools—such as NotebookLM, ChatGPT, Jasper, Gemini, and HeyGen—can turn a single piece of content into newsletters, PowerPoints, videos, study guides, and more. She stresses that AI is now accessible, especially with free versions like ChatGPT. Alicia also shares her origin story in AI, beginning with a 15‑year‑old speaker at Walmart Tech Live describing IBM Watson. This sparked her fascination and ultimately led her to pivot her entire company toward full-time AI training and consulting by 2022—despite skepticism from her peers. She details the massive growth of her brand, including 21,000+ live summit attendees and explosive social media expansion. The interview also addresses AI’s role in finance, healthcare, government, job disruption, and how individuals can future‑proof themselves. Her personal story of overcoming a restrictive ex-husband who told her she would “never speak again” underscores her powerful message: no one should silence your gifts. Now she speaks to thousands, leads major events, and helps others build new careers in AI. 3. Key Takeaways A. AI Is Evolving Fast—and So Must We AI is changing so quickly that entrepreneurs cannot afford to wait for annual updates. This is why Alicia shifted to monthly training summits. People need ongoing education to stay competitive. B. Hands‑On AI Education Is the Key Alicia doesn’t just lecture—she walks participants through real demonstrations: Uploading YouTube links Creating summaries Generating emails, mind maps, PowerPoints, quizzes, videos, and more…all from a single input. Her approach eliminates fear and teaches entrepreneurs how to use AI immediately. C. Accessibility Has Changed the Game The release of ChatGPT, especially the free version, democratized AI. Before that, tools like IBM Watson were too complex and expensive. Now anyone with a laptop and internet connection can build websites, write content, or automate business flows in minutes. [ D. The African American Community Must Lead—Not Follow Alicia emphasizes that historically, Black communities have been “last in line” in tech innovation, but this AI era presents a once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity to jump ahead.She sees it as her mission to speak everywhere Black entrepreneurs are to ensure they seize this moment.

Companies are laying off non–AI‑literate employees.Alicia urges people to: Become AI‑fluent Join AI committees at work Pursue certification Use AI to become their company’s internal expert “There’s no maybe—you have to learn AI,” she warns.

Where do you want your firm to go in the new year? Do you have a plan to get there? Intentional firm design and strategy trumps reactive growth every time. Don't let your firm run you; take charge today! Guest Kellam Parks is a partner with the metrics- and technology-driven family and cybersecurity law firm Parks Zeigler PLLC, and he runs the coaching program “The Motivated Lawyer,” helping firms craft a path to a successful future. Hear how he recently took on one new client pro bono to demonstrate how his coaching helps lawyers visualize and achieve their goals. Parks began his own Virginia Beach firm as a “paperless” entity nearly 15 years ago, incorporating emerging tech to maximize efficiencies. As the firm developed, tech tools have helped his team automate the routine and focus on the most important and demanding tasks. He is a regular speaker and provider of CLE programs for attorneys and firms and produces educational videos and a popular newsletter packed with tips. Do you need help building out your technological capacities and marketing? As Parks points out, “Nobody knows everything.” Always be learning and open to new ideas.  Questions or ideas about solo and small practices? Drop us a line at NewSolo@legaltalknetwork.com   Topics: Too many solos start out with no intentional plan, opting instead to gather as many clients as they can then scrambling to keep up. A recipe for stress and inefficiency. In 2026, think about what you actually want from your firm. Then create an intentional plan to get there, step by step. Technology is not an option. Use the tools available to you. But remember “technology does not fix chaos.” It all starts with your plan, your established systems, and understanding what you're doing (and why).  Mentioned in This Episode: Previous appearance on New Solo, “Tech, Automation, and Cybersecurity: A Pioneering Attorney's Perspective”  Previous appearance on Legal Talk Network's Digital Detectives, “Cybersecurity: Getting to Good for the Small Law Firm”  Ben Glass, Great Legal Marketing Gino Wickman, “Traction”  Allie K.

The episode centers on the expanding adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) tools among workers alongside a notable decline in confidence. According to a Manpower Group study cited by Dave Sobel, AI confidence among workers decreased by 18% even as usage increased by 13% over the past year. This divergence highlights a governance and operational gap for MSPs, as enterprise clients confront both the potential and the risks of AI-enabled solutions, facing unresolved issues of output reliability, oversight, and liability when missteps occur.Supporting this trend, findings from the Stanford University Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence indicate that nearly 30% of AI chatbot users encountered harmful suggestions. While these statistics lack detailed breakdowns – such as which platforms or definitions of “harmful” – they shape widespread client perceptions and intensify scrutiny of AI guidance provided by IT service providers. Meanwhile, enterprise vendors like Zendesk report improved satisfaction rates from automated resolutions but emphasize the costly need to overhaul workflows and data management to effectively harness AI benefits.Additional focus is given to Microsoft's scheduled deprecation of the NTLM authentication protocol, replaced by newer mechanisms that are not yet fully deployed or reliable. Dave Sobel notes that legacy systems depending on NTLM present tangible operational and legal risks for MSPs, as clients may face authentication failures or re-enable insecure protocols unless thoroughly audited. Elsewhere, the "right to repair" movement is gaining ground as the Environmental Protection Agency affirms farmers' rights to repair their own equipment, with broader implications for IT hardware access and vendor-dependent service models.The confluence of these developments underscores the importance for MSPs and IT leaders to shift focus from product access and resale toward risk governance, lifecycle planning, and documenting client decisions—especially in AI, authentication methodologies, and hardware maintenance. Mitigating liability, clarifying accountability with clients, and tracking evolving vendor and regulatory actions are essential to maintain relevance and safeguard operations as service and product access models change. Three things to know today00:00 Workers Use More AI But Trust It Less, Creating New Service Risks03:44 Microsoft Plans NTLM Phase-Out Despite Unfinished Kerberos Replacement Technology06:32 Google, Adobe Launch AI Subscriptions While OpenAI Retires GPT-4o Next Month10:52 EPA Ruling Lets Farmers Repair Equipment, Pressures Tech Right-to-Repair LawsThis is the Business of Tech.   Supported by:

Yep - we are at the start of a new world - a world where AI is going to be 'even bigger than the internet'. And as the leaders of challenger brands in CPG, we've gotta lean in. In this episode of Brand Growth Heroes, I'm joined by one of my oldest and best friends, Paul Adams, CPO & Marketing at a multi-billion dollar company, Intercom AND he is building Fin.ai. If you're not in 'Tech' you may not have heard of him, but Paul Adams is one of the world's most prominent tech product designers, researchers, and authors -  recognised as one of the world's leading thinkers on the the intersection between humans and technology... and now between humans, commercialisation and AI.... amongst many other aspects of tech that most of us are not even privy to!  Described as "one of Silicon Valley's most wanted", he's also one of my closest friends, and I can't tell you how proud we are of the young man who rocked up to live with us in Balham in 2002 to work at Dyson, his very first job. After only a few years he was poached by Facebook, where he made the platform 'mobile' and then Google, where he worked on making Gmail, Google and YouTube mobile too. It was while working for these behemoths that he moved to San Francisco with his wife Jennifer, who's one of my three besties (Love you, Jen), and became globally renowned on the Tech speaker scene. In this episode, Paul argues that AI isn't just another new channel or tool. It's a platform shift on the scale of the internet and potentially bigger. We talk about why the moment we're in feels eerily similar to 1999, why marketing is getting less effective across the board, and why the brands that win next will look very different to the ones that won the last cycle.A bit more background on Paul:"Most Wanted" Status (2011): Paul Adams was highlighted by Fortune as a highly sought-after talent in Silicon Valley following his significant contributions to major tech firms.Google (Social Research): At Google, he led the social research team, and his work directly influenced the creation of "Circles," which became the foundational feature of Google+. He also worked on Gmail, YouTube, and mobile products.Facebook (Brand Experience): He later joined Facebook as the Global Brand Experience Manager, where he focused on research, design, and product strategy, working with marketers and advertising agencies.Intercom (Product Strategy): He joined Intercom as VP of Product in 2014, later becoming the Chief Product Officer.Thought Leadership: Adams is the author of Grouped: How Small Groups of Friends are the Key to Influence on the Social Web. His work on "The Real Life Social Network" is widely recognized as one of the most viewed presentations on the evolution of social networks.Background: Before his time in tech, he worked as a product designer at Dyson, where he designed electronic appliances. Current Status: As of September 2023, he was working as the Chief Product Officer at Intercom, focusing on product strategy in the age of AI.This isn't a tactical 'AI' for the sake of AI episode. It's a big-picture conversation about what's actually changing, what's already changed, and what brand builders need to understand to stay relevant over the next decade. it was this conversation that made me set up a buzzing new community called NextGen CPG -  a community for AI-native founders.   Take a look and see if you're eligible to join us hereUseful linksConnect with Paul Adams on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/pauladams/Connect with Intercom The #1 AI Agent https://www.linkedin.com/company/intercom/Join the NextGen CPG WhatsApp community and LinkedIn page ============================================================Thanks to Brand Growth Heroes' podcast sponsor - Joelson, the commercial law firm=============================================================If you're a founder, you already know how much of your energy goes into building the perfect product, creating standout branding and connecting with your consumers.But don't forget that scaling a CPG business also comes with a maze of legal complexities that can make or break your business journey.
