A father feels called to leave his child and follow a deeper purpose. In this Vedic Worldview episode, Thom explores what many might call abandonment through the story of Buddha and reframes it as an evolutionary phase transition in consciousness. Along the way, Thom unpacks how relationships evolve, why some marriages end, and what children really absorb when parents try to "protect" their children from the effects of difficult decisions. Listen in to see how a wider context can transform the way we interpret separation from our loved ones.Episode Highlights[00:45] Q - Is it OK to leave a child to follow a calling?[01:12] A - Buddha As An Example Parent[04:20] From Abandonment to Phase Transition[06:55] Turning Content Into Context[09:14] Divorce As a Phase Transition[11:51] Children Are Like Video Cameras[14:05] Seasons of Resonance in Love[16:21] The Couple Who Waited Fifty Years[19:15] Children Want Authentic HappinessUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

How does a CISO turn cybersecurity from a technical conversation into a business conversation that boards actually care about? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Thom Langford, EMEA CTO at Rapid7 and a former CISO, to explore what he calls the second phase of cybersecurity leadership. For years, the industry worked hard to secure a seat at the boardroom table. In many organizations, that mission has largely succeeded. But as Thom explains, gaining access was only the first step. The real challenge now is communicating security in a way that drives meaningful business decisions. Thom shares why many CISOs still approach board conversations in the same way they did a decade ago, even though boardroom awareness of cybersecurity has changed dramatically. Today, many boards include members with cybersecurity knowledge or direct security experience. That means security leaders can no longer rely on technical jargon, complex frameworks, or compliance language to make their case. One of the most interesting insights from our conversation is the disconnect between how CISOs frame risk and what boards are actually focused on. While security teams often lead with risk reduction, boards tend to think in terms of revenue growth and operational costs. Thom argues that security leaders must learn to translate cybersecurity into the language of profit and loss if they want their message to resonate at the executive level. We also explore how traditional security tools such as risk frameworks, audits, and compliance standards can sometimes create distance rather than clarity in board discussions. Instead of helping executives understand security priorities, these models can obscure the real question boards are trying to answer. How secure are we, and what does that mean for the business? Another area we discuss is the growing role of tabletop exercises. Thom explains why these simulations are becoming one of the most effective ways for CISOs to demonstrate the real-world impact of security decisions. By walking executives through a realistic incident scenario, leaders can see how security, operations, legal teams, and business priorities intersect during a crisis. Looking ahead, Thom believes the most successful CISOs will increasingly need to think like business leaders rather than purely technical specialists. Communication skills, relationship building, and understanding the organization's financial priorities may prove just as important as deep technical expertise. So if cybersecurity leaders have already earned their place in the boardroom, the next question becomes much more interesting. Are they speaking the language the board actually understands, or are they still trying to solve business problems using only security vocabulary?

Eine musikalische Weltreise und ein Hörvergnügen der besonderen Art! Der international erfolgreiche Schweizer Regisseur Thom Luz erkundet auf seine ganz eigene Art ein paar jener fernen, kaum bekannten Inseln, welche die Autorin Judith Schalansky in ihrem Kultbuch poetisch beschrieben hat. Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will: Samstag, 07.03.2026, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 2 Kultur Es gibt heutzutage rund um den Globus kein Fleckchen Erde mehr, das unentdeckt geblieben wäre. Jede Küste, jedes Eiland ist betreten, vermessen und in Besitz genommen worden. Dennoch hat sich die Schriftstellerin und Buchgestalterin Judith Schalansky zu einer neuerlichen Entdeckungsreise aufgemacht. In früheren Zeiten hätte sie dafür ein Schiff besteigen müssen, beseelt vom Wunsch, unversehens irgendwo auf eine unbekannte Landmasse zu stossen. Aber Judith Schalansky ist aufgewachsen als «Atlas-Kind», ihre Liebe gilt den kartografischen Werken, die uns in Form einer ebenso abstrakten wie ästhetischen Darstellung die fernen Welten nahezubringen versuchen. In ihnen, den erdkundlichen Folianten und Atlanten, hat Judith Schalansky ihre Expeditionen unternommen. Und ist dabei bis an die Ränder des Erdkreises vorgestossen, zu fünfzig abgelegenen Inseln: «Inseln, auf denen ich nie war und niemals sein werde». Inseln, die sich – weit entfernt von jeder Bounty-Romantik – aus der rauen See erheben, abweisend und karg die allermeisten. Und es hat sich auf ihnen Schreckliches zugetragen. Denn die Faszination der Entdecker verkehrte sich nur allzu oft in Entsetzen. «Das Paradies mag eine Insel sein», schreibt Judith Schalansky. «Die Hölle ist es auch.» Thom Luz montiert aus der Buchvorlage eine faszinierend skurrile Klang- und Hörreise, komponiert aus Stimmen, Geräuschen und musikalischen Fragmenten – wie nicht von dieser Welt. ____________________ Mit: Beatrice Frey, Günther Harder, Sophie Krauss, Oscar Olivo ____________________ Musik: Iris Maron (Violine), Maria Pache (Viola), Mikael Rudolfsson (Posaune), Karoline Steidl (Violine) – Musikalische Leitung: Mathias Weibel ____________________ Dramaturgie: Judith Gerstenberg – Textfassung, Montage und Regie: Thom Luz – Redaktion: Reto Ott (SRF) und Isabel Platthaus (WDR) ____________________ Produktion: SRF und WDR, in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Schauspiel Hannover, 2015 ____________________ Dauer: 53' Hier gibt's noch mehr Hörspiele: https://www.srf.ch/audio/themen/hoerspiele-geschichten

Thom's Nutshell Wisdom: “Practice conversations to convey rather than convince.” Healthy Conversation is “present-centered.” In a healthy conversation, we don't need to know exactly what we're trying to convey. With defenses down, we learn more. How much “we,” and how much “I” can we include in any relationship? How can we get on the same side of the problem? Anxiety is at the root of why we do this. We feel threatened so we feel a compulsion to manipulate someone into our point of view. The first step of dismantling this is awareness that its happening. Then we “befriend our experience,” which we derive from the work of Nathaniel Branden. Visit our website: www.emotionalsobriety.info Follow us on social media: Instagram: thomrutledge2 Joe C.

La rebeldía no siempre grita. A veces se disfraza de independencia, de “mi vida, mis reglas”, de mala cara ante la autoridad o de obediencia fingida. Anarquía es decir: “nadie me manda”. Humanismo es decir: “no necesito a Dios”. Autonomía es decir: “yo soy mi propia ley”. Pero cuando el hombre intenta ocupar el lugar de Dios, el resultado siempre es el mismo: caos, división y muerte. La rebelión no es solo una actitud externa; es un corazón que se resiste a someterse. En contraste, Jesús mostró otra revolución: la del sometimiento. No se exaltó, se humilló. No se impuso, obedeció. No hizo su voluntad, sino la del Padre. La verdadera fuerza no está en rebelarse, sino en rendirse a Dios. La pregunta es sencilla y profunda: ¿En qué área sigues queriendo ser tu propia autoridad?

We are popping the champagne for a very special episode! To celebrate the launch of his exclusive new collection with Ballard Designs, the fabulous Carson Kressley joins Caroline, Taryn, and Liz as a special co-host for a 4-part mini-series. And for his first guest? It's none other than his original Queer Eye castmate, best friend, and acclaimed interior designer Thom Filicia. Carson and Thom take a trip down memory lane, revealing the hilarious story of how they first met during the "chemistry test" for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Thom opens up about his classical training at the legendary firm Parish-Hadley, his philosophy on "Democratic Design," and why he believes every room needs a mix of price points to feel authentic. Quick Decorating Takeaways: Embrace "Democratic Design": Thom believes great design shouldn't be reserved for the elite. Whether it's a custom piece or a catalog find, good design is accessible at every price point. The magic happens when you mix them together—high and low, old and new. Don't Be Afraid of Brown: Thom and the team discuss the resurgence of brown as a dominant color in interiors. Thom loves using warm, earthy neutrals (like chocolate, rust, and camel) to create spaces that feel grounded, sophisticated, and cozy. Your Home Should Tell Your Story: Authenticity is key.

One could argue that boundaries are useful, but once they become a cage, they become a problem.In this episode, Thom unpacks the difference between living inside sharp routines and cultivating real unboundedness, the kind that actually refreshes the nervous system and expands your capacity to meet the need of the time.Thom also explains why “control” is a false strategy in relationships, what it really means to meet another person's conscious receptivity, and how empathy becomes a practical tool for clearer expectations, cleaner communication, and less suffering.Episode Highlights[00:45] The Problem With Sharp Boundaries [04:19] Why Classic Approaches To Freedom Fail [07:34] The Shocking Truth About Repetitive Thinking [10:56] How To Break Free From Boundaries [15:10] Making Unboundedness A Daily Routine [19:17] The Goal Is Not Permanent Meditation [20:11] Q - How do we show up differently in relationships as we expand consciousness? [20:45] A - Meeting The Conscious Receptivity Of Others [24:48] The Illusion Of Control In Relationships [29:19] Using The Inner-net For True Connection [31:14] Q - How do you explain boundaries in toxic relationships? [31:42] A - Sharing Accurate Expectations With Others [32:54] Q - What about when there's resistance to clear expectations? [33:29] A - When To Use Dhanurveda PrinciplesYou can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/TufGThQ8qD4Useful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/ Registration is now open for Thom's only rounding retreat for 2026, in Sedona from May 21-25.This is your one and only opportunity this year for deep rest, stress release and consciousness expansion through industrial-strength meditation, along with twice-daily knowledge sessions with Thom.You'll enjoy delicious retreat-friendly meals and the beauty and healing powers of the Red Rocks of Sedona. Register before February 28th and you'll save $500 on your retreat fee. You can find out more at thomknoles.com/sedona.
