The real cyber threat isn't someone stealing your data. It's someone quietly changing a one to a zero on your shop floor, and you not noticing until something breaks.Cybersecurity used to be the topic everyone talked about. Then it went quiet. Now, with AI accelerating attack capability and quantum computing on the horizon, it's more urgent than ever, and most automotive manufacturers are not ready.In this episode, Jan Griffiths and co-host Tom Roberts sit down with Klint Walker, co-founder of Rule of Three Security and a 20-year veteran of federal cyber leadership. Klint has spent his career protecting critical infrastructure across the southeast, and he knows exactly where the holes are in manufacturing operations.This conversation goes beyond the headlines. The flashy denial-of-service stories get the press, but the real risk is the integrity attack, the quiet manipulation that changes a value, degrades a part, or corrupts a backup. In a world where OT, IT, and IoT have all converged, the attack surface is bigger than most C-suites realize.Themes Discussed in This EpisodeWhy integrity attacks, not data breaches, are the threat manufacturers should fear mostHow OT systems built for standalone operation became cyber liabilities the moment they got connectedWhy "convenience is the opposite of security" and what that means for your shop floorConfidentiality, availability, and integrity: the three pillars and why you can't optimize for all three at onceAI as a force multiplier for both defenders and attackers, and why only AI can defend against AIThe quantum computing arms race and why your encryption catalog matters nowWhy 70% of cybersecurity is policy, process, and people, not technologyThe disconnect between the C-suite and the front line on what actually needs protectingWhy containerizing AI matters: the cautionary tale of an AI that exposed CEO downsizing memosTabletop exercises: making the hard decisions before you are in crisisThis podcast is powered by QAD RedZone.Featured GuestName: Klint WalkerTitle: Co-Founder, Rule of Three SecurityAbout: Klint has 20 years of experience spanning federal, DOD, and private industry cybersecurity leadership. He has protected critical infrastructure across the southeast United States and holds a master's degree from the Naval Postgraduate School in Homeland Security and Defense. At Rule of Three Security, he helps organizations build cybersecurity programs grounded in the three pillars of the field: confidentiality, availability, and integrity.Connect: LinkedInAbout Your HostsJan GriffithsJan is the host and producer of the Auto Supply Chain Champions Podcast and The Automotive Leaders Podcast. A former automotive manufacturing and supply chain executive, Jan is recognized as a Champion for Culture Change in the automotive industry. She brings direct, grounded conversations to leaders navigating execution, disruption, and transformation across the global automotive ecosystem.Tom Roberts (Co-host)Tom is Co-host of the Auto Supply Chain Champions Podcast and Vice President of Strategic Industry Development at QAD. He works closely with automotive and industrial manufacturers to close the gap between insight and execution, helping leaders move from visibility to systems of action that drive real operational outcomes.Episode Highlights[00:03:21] What is cybersecurity, really? Klint opens with the question every C-suite should be able to answer but rarely can. It comes down to three pillars: confidentiality, availability, and integrity, and what those mean is different for every organization.[00:07:30] The integrity attack nobody is talking about. Threat actors changing a one to a zero. Manipulating a girder spec. Degrading a part. The attacks that don't make the news but can quietly compromise everything you ship.[00:10:00] The bank ransomware integrity story. Klint walks through how attackers can poison backups so that when you restore, you restore their fraudulent accounts as trusted data. Now apply that to a manufacturing BOM, a quality record, or a contract.[00:12:43] AI as the new attacker advantage. Reconnaissance that used to take weeks now takes 15 minutes. Threat actors are using AI to map employees, build social engineering campaigns, and stay undetected once inside.[00:16:50] The quantum arms race. Most organizations cannot tell you where they are using encryption, let alone whether it is quantum-ready. That cataloging exercise has to start now.[00:19:45] The five things a manufacturing C-suite should do. It starts with one question: have you defined cybersecurity for your organization? Most boards have never been briefed on the state of their own program.[00:21:30] The bank teller test. From the teller to the C-suite, every level of a bank gives a different answer to "what is the most important thing this business does?" If your front line is protecting the wrong thing, your cybersecurity program is broken before it starts.[00:24:22] The AI containment story. A single prompt pulled a draft executive downsizing memo from the CEO's inbox. Most organizations have not told their AI what it can and cannot touch.[00:28:14] The Rule of Three. The name of Klint's company comes from the three pillars. The job is making sure all three have visibility in your organization, and knowing which one matters most when something has to give.Top Quotes[00:06:58] Klint Walker: “Convenience is the opposite of security, and if you build something into convenience, you've bypassed security for it.”[00:08:12] Klint Walker: “The real threats out there might actually be what we call the integrity attacks. These get no love in the media, but these are where the threat actors are going in and they're manipulating data.”[00:23:43] Klint Walker: “If cybersecurity is not a culture of your organization, then it's just an add-on.”Don't Miss the Follow-UpKlint is coming back later this year to go deeper on tabletop exercises and the practical work of building a cybersecurity culture in a manufacturing environment.

The rear view mirror exists for a reason. Q1 is done. Jan Griffiths and co-host Tom Roberts look back at what Q1 revealed and look ahead at what Q2 demands. Tariff volatility. AI embedded in every executive's day. The domain knowledge gap that's quietly killing AI ROI. And a Q2 lineup built to help automotive leaders stop reacting and start acting.Over a year of tariff chaos has tested every supply chain in this industry. The companies that survived didn't just get lucky. They had data at their fingertips, not buried in spreadsheets or locked in someone's head. The ones still struggling? Still chasing Billy to find Susie's spreadsheet.And then there's AI. It's no longer theoretical. It's in everyone's day. But domain knowledge is the gap nobody's talking about. Commodity codes, customer master records, plant-level data inconsistencies. AI doesn't figure that out on its own. The humans who know the business have to be in the loop.In Q2, Jan and Tom are bringing in the guests who can help close those gaps. Cheryl Thompson on making AI practically useful for the average automotive professional. Klint Walker on the cybersecurity vulnerabilities hiding in plain sight on the shop floor. And a CIO whose entire focus is putting data in the hands of the people, and the culture shift that demands.Themes Discussed in This EpisodeSurviving a year of tariff chaos and what it exposedWhy "at your fingertips" data is the real competitive edgeThe volatility problem: it's not tariffs, it's the constant changeWhy the old automotive playbook no longer worksAgentic AI: the promise, the pitfalls, and the domain knowledge gapBreaking down silos between function and IT for AI to drive valueQ1 guest highlights: Marty Rathsburg, Dr. Bryan Reimer, Zack from RedZoneQ2 preview: Cheryl Thompson on practical AI, Klint Walker on cybersecurity, and a CIO on a data-first journeyThis podcast is powered by QAD RedZone.About Your HostsJan GriffithsJan is the host and producer of the Auto Supply Chain Champions Podcast and The Automotive Leaders Podcast.

It's the Line Between Winners and Laggards with Sanjay Brahmawar and Bryan ReimerThe First 90 Days: How to Take Over a Purchasing Organization and Win with Marty RathsburgBeyond Dashboards: Building a Connected Workforce with Zack SosebeeEpisode Highlights[00:01:10] Q1 in Review: Stop and Look at the Gain: Jan frames the episode around Dr. Benjamin Hardy's concept of the Gap and the Gain. The industry rarely stops to measure what it's actually achieved.[00:02:39] Data at Your Fingertips, or Not: Tariff disruption exposed the visibility gap. Tom describes the reality for most companies: chasing data across systems, people, and spreadsheets instead of having it ready when it matters.[00:04:16] The Old Playbook Is Broken: The way automotive operates, in silos and reactively, isn't built for a world where tariffs, geopolitics, and disruption arrive simultaneously and without warning.[00:08:11] Agentic AI: Not a Light Switch: Jan pushes back on the idea that AI eliminates headcount overnight. It requires intention, training, human-in-the-loop thinking, and a deliberate build-out of trust.[00:08:45] Domain Knowledge Is the AI Gap No One Talks About: The real barrier to AI delivering value isn't the technology. It's understanding the data structures, commodity codes, and business logic the AI has to work with, and that requires people who know the domain.[00:12:08] Q2 Preview: What's Coming: Cheryl Thompson on making AI practically useful. Klint Walker on cybersecurity blind spots in manufacturing. And a CIO focused on putting data in the hands of the people and the culture shift that requires.[00:19:34] Systems of Record to Systems of Action: Jan and Tom land on the core challenge: automotive must change how it makes decisions, breaks down silos, and uses data, or the disruption will keep winning.Top Quotes[00:05:45] Jan Griffiths: "The world that we lived in before, it's gone. You might as well forget it. The key now is to adapt to the world that we're in."[00:06:09] Tom Roberts: "Where you have your customs folks maybe buried in supply chain somewhere and they're kind of a, back, back, back, back office function. You can't do that. You can't do that with that process or the people, or the systems around it. They have to be tied to active data, real time data, because these things are changing every 150 days or 90 days, or whatever it might be."[00:15:02] Tom Roberts: "Automotive is one of the toughest supply chains in the world. When a finished vehicle has 30,000 parts in it, however many different suppliers, it can be daunting."[00:19:34] Jan Griffiths: "And I am gonna steal your tagline, Tom, working with these systems of record and not turning them into systems of action. We have got to do more of that and we've gotta change the culture behind it."If this episode resonated, share it with a fellow automotive leader and subscribe to the Auto Supply Chain Champions Podcast, where we're closing the gap between insight and action across the global automotive supply chain.Follow the Auto Supply Chain Champions Podcast for real conversations with leaders who are making hard choices, focusing their bets, and leading with intent.

What does it really take to walk into a new purchasing leadership role and make it work?Not the strategy deck. Not the org chart. The real work: the people, the data, the relationships, and the hard lessons learned along the way.In this episode, Jan Griffiths and co-host Tom Roberts sit down with Marty Rathsburg, newly appointed Head of Purchasing at the Gemini Group, a tier one and tier two automotive supplier with 17 locations across North America. Marty brings decades of experience in operations, purchasing, quality, and private equity. But this episode isn't about what he's done before. It's about what he's doing right now and what he's learning in real time.One of the challenges Marty ran into? The ERP. Gemini operates on a single ERP platform across all 17 locations, which sounds like an advantage until you realize every plant has customized it differently. Job shops, serial production, different commodity codes, and different supplier codes for the same vendor. The data is there. Getting it to mean something is another challenge entirely. It's a problem that plays out across the industry every day, and it's exactly the kind of execution gap that the right technology and the right systems of action are designed to close.This is Episode 1 of a two-part journey. We're bringing Marty back in six months to find out how it actually went.Themes Discussed in This EpisodeWhy do people come before strategy in any new leadership roleThe myth of "one ERP" and why it doesn't solve your data problemHow to prioritize suppliers when everything feels urgentStakeholder alignment: building credibility without the egoWhat vulnerability looks like in a purchasing leadership roleThe courage to call out your own misstepsFeatured GuestName: Marty RathsburgTitle: Head of Purchasing, Gemini GroupAbout: Marty is a transformation-focused operations and procurement leader known for bringing clarity to complex challenges. With 20+ years' experience improving performance and developing high‑impact teams, he's delivered consistent growth by aligning people, simplifying systems, and driving action. Marty is recognized for his hands-on leadership style, building relationships at every level, and creating cultures where teams move fast and win together.

He works closely with automotive and industrial manufacturers to close the gap between insight and execution, helping leaders move from visibility to systems of action that drive real operational outcomes.Mentioned in the Episode:Tony Trecapelli, CEO of Gemini Group, on the Automotive Leaders PodcastEpisode Highlights[00:01:22] The Real Challenge of a New Role: Jan sets the stage: stepping into a purchasing and supply chain role is not about strategy on paper. The real challenge is deciding what to focus on first amid complexity.[00:02:47] Why Marty Chose Gemini Group: Marty shares what drew him to Gemini, rooted in firsthand experience working with them as a supplier and seeing their culture in action.[00:04:59] Start with People, Not Process: Marty's first move: sit down with every buyer, listen, take notes, and understand the human dynamics before making any changes.[00:07:01] One ERP, Many Realities: Despite having a single ERP across the organization, inconsistencies and plant-level differences require deep validation and gut-checking of data.[00:09:11] The Danger of Silo Optimization: Jan calls out a common industry issue: optimizing at the plant level at the expense of enterprise-wide visibility. The mindset must shift to the full ecosystem.[00:12:59] Prioritizing Suppliers Beyond Spend: Marty explains how prioritization goes beyond spend, factoring in risk, single sourcing, and future growth. A four-hour car ride with a plant manager becomes a strategic turning point.[00:14:51] Building Stakeholder Alignment Through Action: Alignment is not achieved in meetings. It is built through listening, collaboration, and solving problems together. Walking in with all the answers is the fastest way to lose trust.[00:18:17] Three Principles for New Leaders: Marty's advice: build relationships first, be relentless about understanding the data, and stay focused on outcomes while adapting the path to get there.Top Quotes[00:07:01] Marty Rathsburg: “You can't make decisions without the data, right? And you can't make effective decisions without the data… it's like playing with a deck of cards with half the cards there.”[00:09:11] Jan Griffiths: “We can no longer optimize for some, either a silo or a plant. We can't do that anymore. We have to think of the bigger ecosystem.”[00:16:21] Marty Rathsburg: “Be vulnerable, and then gain that trust, really moves it along quickly. And I think that is my main mode of operation when I'm trying to build these relationships.”[00:17:29] Marty Rathsburg: “Don't expect you're gonna take a hundred percent of the right steps… I've gotten comfortable with being uncomfortable, but call it out…”[00:15:54] Tom Roberts: “You have to have those to start having those relationships, breaking down barriers.”Don't Miss the Follow-UpMarty Rathsburg is coming back in six months.

Your physical supply chain is optimized. Your data supply chain is broken. That's the hard truth at the center of this conversation and it's one most automotive leaders haven't fully faced yet.In this episode, Jan Griffiths and Tom Roberts sit down with Kevin Piotrowski, Chief Transformation Officer at AIAG, to break down Catena-X: what it is, why it matters, and why the automotive industry can no longer afford to ignore it.Kevin makes the case clearly: the data that companies need to make decisions no longer lives inside their four walls. 60, 70, 80% of decision-critical data now comes from outside the enterprise, from supply chains both upstream and downstream. Catena-X is the ecosystem built to move that data securely, at scale, across the entire supply chain, while protecting IP, maintaining data sovereignty, and enabling AI and robotics to act on it.This is not another IT initiative. It's a movement. Approaching its fifth anniversary in Europe and hitting year one or two in North America, Catena-X is entering the adoption phase and AIAG is driving that effort as the North American hub. The Readiness Booster Program, a 12-week onboarding, is already helping companies of all sizes get connected. From small suppliers using an Excel file to large manufacturers building their own certified connectors, there's an on-ramp for everyone.The challenges are real. Trust between OEMs and suppliers has never been a strength of this industry. Data extraction from fragmented ERP systems is hard. And many companies haven't even defined a data strategy yet. But the companies that wait will absorb the cost. The companies that move will build a competitive advantage that compounds: in quality, sustainability, carbon footprint reporting, digital twins, and beyond.Jan and Tom will both be at the AIAG Elevate conference in Detroit on May 21st. If you want to understand what's coming and where the real tension between OEMs and suppliers sits, that's the room to be in.Themes Discussed in This EpisodeWhy the data supply chain is the next frontier for automotiveWhat Catena-X is and why it's more than a data exchangeData sovereignty: how suppliers protect IP while sharing across the chainThe path from data to AI to robotics and why it's now one integrated systemThe Readiness Booster Program: how to get connected in 12 weeksWhy every supplier needs a data strategy before they pick a solutionThe trust deficit between OEMs and suppliers, and why it has to changeCatena-X in two years and five years: the global expansion roadmapAIAG Elevate Detroit Conference, May 21st: what to expectFeatured GuestName: Kevin PiotrowskiTitle: Chief Transformation Officer, AIAGAbout: Kevin Piotrowski serves as Chief Transformation Officer at AIAG, where he leads North American efforts around Catena-X adoption and digital transformation across the automotive supply chain.

Catena-X aims to connect and standardize how critical supply chain data moves.[00:03:04] What Catena-X Actually Is: Kevin explains Catena-X simply: a secure way for companies to exchange complex supply chain data across the entire network, not just point-to-point.[00:04:56] Data Sovereignty in Practice: Kevin describes how Catena-X protects sensitive relationships. Data moves only one level up or down the chain, so companies see outcomes without exposing supplier identities.[00:08:00] From Data to AI to Robotics: Clean data feeds Catena-X, which enables secure exchange, powers AI decision-making, and ultimately drives automation and robotics.[00:10:07] The Readiness Booster Program: AIAG's 12-week onboarding program helps companies quickly join the Catena-X network with training, connectors, and testing for suppliers of all sizes.[00:12:28] The Real Challenge: Strategy Before Solution: Many companies jump to tools before defining their data strategy. Kevin emphasizes understanding what data exists, where it lives, and what should be shared.[00:13:46] Trust: The Automotive Industry's Weakest Link: Jan and Kevin discuss how trust and collaboration across OEMs and suppliers will determine how fast Catena-X can scale.[00:17:11] Two Years and Five Years Out: Kevin predicts global expansion of Catena-X in the next two years, with broader adoption and measurable value across industries within five.[00:19:06] See You at AIAG Elevate – May 21 in Detroit: Jan and Tom commit to attending the AIAG Elevate conference to hear firsthand how OEMs and suppliers are approaching Catena-X adoption.Top Quotes[00:00:30] Tom: “Manufacturers don't have a data problem; they've got an execution problem.”[00:01:23] Jan: “We spend decades optimizing physical supply chains. We're very, very good at it. But that data supply chain is still broken.”[00:04:16] Kevin: “Today, 60, 70, 80% pick a number, but it's a big number. They need data outside their four walls to make the proper decisions.”[00:07:09] Kevin: “Data sovereignty is making sure everybody has access only to the data they should see and to nobody else's.”[00:09:07] Kevin: “It starts with data, it works its way where you need to exchange it in a secure way, and then it goes to AI engines, and then it goes to robotics.”[00:13:46] Kevin: “Trust up the chain and down the chain is gonna become a very key factor.”[00:17:47] Kevin: “Just like EDI and common barcoding and common quality requirements have saved the industry probably billions of dollars over the decades, this has that same promise.”Follow the Auto Supply Chain Champions Podcast for real conversations with leaders who are making hard choices, focusing their bets, and leading with intent.

Contact Ian at ian.berman@qad.com and Joshua at joshua.guy@qad.com for further conversationGlobal trade does not have a compliance problem. It has an execution gap. The classifications exist. The brokers are in place. The duties are being paid. Yet too often, trade is treated as documentation instead of strategy. In this episode, Jan Griffiths and Tom Roberts sit down with Ian Berman, Global Trade and Transportation expert, and Joshua Guy, Foreign Trade Zone specialist, to challenge that mindset and introduce a new one.Ian and Joshua make the case that tariffs are no longer a temporary disruption. They are a structural operating condition. With layered duties, stacked exposure, and policy volatility, organizations cannot afford to treat trade compliance as a cost center. The companies that will win are the ones that shift from a system of record to a system of action. That means modeling exposure before it hits. Scenario planning under uncertainty. Using infrastructure like FTZs deliberately. And building systems that react at the speed policy changes.The honesty in this conversation sets the tone. Jan openly admits she once treated trade compliance as something to “just like keep me clean. Don't get me into trouble.” Ian confirms how common that mindset is, saying, “They look at that as just a cost center. Honestly, Jan…” That old-world thinking no longer works.Joshua explains why the stakes have changed: “This is way too complicated of an environment that is changing daily, and so you have to be dependent on systems for this. You cannot be dependent on the old way of how things work.” In a world where executive orders drop on Friday and implementation happens Tuesday, modeling tools and automation are no longer optional. They are survival mechanisms.This episode is a reminder that global trade is not back-office reporting. It is strategic infrastructure. Leaders who treat it as such gain flexibility, cash flow timing advantages, and margin recovery. Those who do not will absorb cost and call it unavoidable.Themes Discussed in This EpisodeWhy treating trade compliance as a cost center is a strategic mistakeThe shift from system of record to system of action in global tradeTariffs as a structural operating condition, not a temporary disruptionModeling exposure before policy changes hitThe critical role of data accuracy under refund and audit scrutinyBuilding scenario capability to react at the speed of volatilityForeign Trade Zones as strategic infrastructure, not paperworkTurning landed cost management into a competitive advantageFeatured GuestName: Ian BermanTitle: Global Trade and Transportation ExpertAbout: Ian is the Manager of Business Consulting with QAD Supply Chain.

He works closely with automotive and industrial manufacturers to close the gap between insight and execution, helping leaders move from visibility to systems of action that drive real operational outcomes.Episode Highlights[01:38] Falling on the Sword: Jan opens with honesty, acknowledging that she once viewed trade compliance as protection, not potential. It was about staying out of trouble, not driving advantage. That mindset, she admits, is exactly what leaders must now challenge.[03:58] Cost Center Thinking: Ian names the pattern many organizations fall into. Trade teams are treated as overhead, brought in after decisions are made, measured by cost instead of contribution. In today's environment, that thinking leaves value on the table.[10:51] The New Reality: Joshua reframes the moment with clarity. Uncertainty is not a phase. It is the operating model. Leaders who accept that shift can move from reacting to preparing.[17:30] Start with a State of the Union: Before making bold moves, Ian calls for alignment. Understand what you buy, where it comes from, what you pay, and what systems support it. Clarity is the foundation for action.[10:33] Volatility Isn't Going Away: Ian delivers the hard truth. Today's structure will change again. Waiting for stability is not a strategy. Building agility is.[12:29] Systems Over Spreadsheets: Joshua draws the line between the old world and the new. Manual tracking cannot keep pace with stacking tariffs and shifting rules. Systems of action are no longer optional. They are essential.[19:37] FTZ as a Lever: Joshua shifts the lens from compliance to opportunity. Foreign Trade Zones are not paperwork exercises. Used well, they become a financial lever that improves cash flow and protects margin.[22:07] Leadership Urgency: Tom closes with resolve. When double-digit cost increases appear, leaders cannot hesitate. They must understand the full landed cost, explore every lever, and act decisively.Top Quotes[04:49] Ian: “They look at that as just a cost center. Honestly, Jan, and again, you fell on the sword and you're not alone.”[10:51] Joshua: “I think the only certainty is uncertainty in these times, right?”[12:29] Joshua: “You have to be dependent on systems for this. You cannot be dependent on the old way of how things work.”[22:07] Tom: “If I'm facing 10% additional cost, or 15 or 40, or whatever it is.

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

Automotive supply chains are no longer being reshaped by crisis. They are being reshaped by clarity, and clarity is forcing hard choices.In this episode of the Auto Supply Chain Champions Podcast, Jan Griffiths and co-host Tom Roberts are joined by Paul Eichenberg, Chief Strategist and author of The Road Ahead: Five Key Predictions for the Global Automotive Industry in 2026, for a blunt, reality-check conversation about what lies ahead for suppliers.The industry has moved past the chaos of shortages and disruptions, but that does not mean conditions are improving. Flat volumes. Thin launch schedules. Policy volatility. Long-standing assumptions that once protected supplier business models no longer apply.Paul makes the case that 2026 is not about recovery. It is about reckoning. Growth will not lift all boats. Outgrowth will be selective. Capital allocation, portfolio focus, and strategic intent will determine who wins and who fades.This conversation challenges automotive leaders to confront the most dangerous assumption still in play: that the industry is operating under the same rules it always has. The leaders who succeed in 2026 will be decisive, intentional, and willing to make hard bets instead of spreading resources thin.Themes Discussed in This EpisodeWhy flat volumes expose weak supplier strategiesThe end of “a rising tide lifts all boats” thinkingWhat outgrowth really means in a 0–1% marketCapital allocation as the ultimate strategy leverWhy the next decade is the hybrid decadePortfolio focus vs being all things to all customersWhy clarity, not comfort, defines 2026 leadershipFeatured GuestName: Paul EichenbergTitle: Chief Strategist, Automotive IndustryAbout: Paul is a seasoned automotive strategist and industry advisor with decades of experience supporting OEMs and suppliers through major market transitions.

In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we explore how flow states, those moments of effortless focus and peak performance, can help us reconnect with our true selves and quiet the inner critic. My guest this week is Tom Roberts, retired dentist, race car driver, Buddhist practitioner and author of the upcoming book From Fear to Flow.Together, we examine what it really means to be in a flow state and why it's more accessible than most people think. Tom shares his personal journey of discovering flow through racing and Buddhist practice, and how that journey helped him reframe impostor syndrome as a form of ego protection. We also talk about why flow isn't just for elite performers, it's our natural state, how our ego and old narratives block access to flow and creativity and what racing taught Tom about fear, failure, and finding his own lane.About My GuestTom Roberts is a retired dentist, race car driver, longtime Buddhist practitioner, and author of the upcoming book From Fear to Flow: Transcend the Ego and Discover the Life You Were Meant to Live.~Connect with Tom:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-roberts-flow/~Connect with Kim and The Impostor Syndrome Files:Join the free Impostor Syndrome Challenge:https://www.kimmeninger.com/challengeLearn more about the Leading Humans discussion group:https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroupJoin the Slack channel to learn from, connect with and support other professionals: https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6Join the Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumansSchedule time to speak with Kim Meninger directly about your questions/challenges: https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-sessionConnect on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/Website:https://kimmeninger.com

Tom Roberts preaches from Judges 13-16 on Sunday 17th August 2025

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the great  pleasure of speaking with the author of the forthcoming book From Fear to Flow: Transcending the Ego and Living the Life You Were Meant to Live, Tom Roberts. Tom uses his experience on the racetrack and in dentistry to  challenge the conventional view of flow as simply a performance tool and instead presents it as a natural, authentic state of being that emerges when we learn to quiet the ego. We explore how flow mirrors deep meditative states, why the ego is often the biggest obstacle to our growth, and how to move through the four stages of flow without burning out. Our conversation offers insights that will resonate with anyone who is ready to rediscover the power and freedom already within.

In this episode of the St Emlyn's podcast, Iain Beardsell is joined by Dan Horner, a consultant in Emergency Medicine and Neurocritical Care, and Tom Roberts, an Emergency Medicine Registrar and clinical lecturer, to discuss their recently published SHED study on subarachnoid haemorrhage in the Emergency Department (ED). This landmark study, published in the Emergency Medicine Journal, explores the safety of CT scans in diagnosing subarachnoid haemorrhage up to 24 hours after headache onset and evaluates the role of further investigations like a lumbar puncture. The study examines acute severe headache presentations in the ED and the diagnostic approach to ruling out subarachnoid haemorrhage, a critical and often feared diagnosis among emergency physicians. Conducted through the Trainee Emergency Research Network (TURN), the study included over 3,600 patients from 88 UK EDs with acute severe headaches reaching maximum intensity within one hour and no focal neurology. Data collection included CT scans, lumbar puncture results, and 28-day follow-up to identify missed cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Key findings from the study revealed a 6.5% prevalence of subarachnoid haemorrhage, with a significant number presenting within six hours of headache onset. The sensitivity of CT scans remained high beyond the traditional six-hour window, suggesting that CT alone could safely rule out subarachnoid haemorrhage up to 18 hours in many cases, potentially reducing the need for lumbar puncture. The risk of missing an aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage after a negative CT was found to be extremely low, around 1 in 1,000. These findings challenge the routine use of lumbar puncture in patients presenting beyond six hours if the CT scan is negative, potentially changing ED practice and reducing unnecessary invasive procedures. The discussion also emphasized the importance of shared decision-making and recognizing that diagnostic testing is about managing probabilities, not certainties. For clinicians, the episode highlights the need to expedite CT scans for patients with acute severe headaches, especially those presenting within 10 minutes of onset, as they are more likely to have significant pathology. Emergency physicians are encouraged to own the decision-making process for ruling out serious causes of headaches and not defer solely to 'specialists'. The SHED study supports extending the diagnostic window for CT scans in ruling out subarachnoid hemorrhage up to 18 hours, reducing the need for lumbar puncture in many cases. This data empowers emergency clinicians to make informed decisions, manage patient expectations, and streamline ED processes.  For more information, listeners are encouraged to read the SHED Study in the Emergency Medicine Journal and explore the related blog post on the St Emlyn's website. Emergency clinicians are also invited to connect with TERN to get involved in future research opportunities.  This episode provides valuable insights for clinicians in managing acute severe headaches, emphasizing a more nuanced approach to subarachnoid hemorrhage diagnosis and the importance of clinical decision-making in the ED.

Maisie Adam continues the astonishing story that has rocked women's football in France. Its the aftermath of the arrest of Aminata Diallo, she and her lawyers contest the bail terms to allow her to continue her football career abroad.Kheira Hamraoui, meanwhile, so long the target of acrimonious abuse for supposedly unfairly leading the police to Diallo's door for the original arrest, is suddenly viewed in a more sympathetic light. The public, the fans and the players, or at least those who called her, are all now given good cause to reflect on their actions. Having looked to be on her way out at PSG, Hamraoui's determination to fight for her place at PSG pays off as she not only returns to the first team, but plays well enough to earn a recall to the French squad just months ahead of the World Cup. However, in another twist, something close to mutiny breaks out in the player ranks of the national team, and there are suggestions its partly connected to the Diallo-Hamraoui affair. Then at the end of the season comes the decision by PSG not to renew her contract. For Hamraoui its the final blow in what has been a harrowing 18 months for her. For both players now its the agonising wait for a trial date, although both are looking for very diiferent kinds of closure. Defence and prosecution make their final summaries and the scene is set for the last episode and an exclusive interview with the accused, Animata Diallo.

Police wiretaps capture incendiary, and potentially incriminating conversations and whatsapp messages, while statements from the group of men accused of carrying out the attack on Kheira Hamraoui name the mastermind. Its the most shocking development yet as the police return to the home of Diallo to re-arrest her – and this time she appears before an investigative judge and is charged with three counts of aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy.Meanwhile selected details gleaned from the secret surveillance of her phone and Diallo's personal electronic devices find their way to the media, each revealing a range of explosive exortations and some very dubious internet searches. While parts of the leaked psychiatric reports and psychological profiling of Diallo also add to an unfavourable picture. But is everything as it seems? Diallo's lawyers and her close friend Shaheen Malik offer their defences of each and every accusation and revelation. While the Versailles public prosecutor Maryvonne Caillibotte shines a light on the processes and evidence that led them back to Diallo's door. So you can play the part of judge and jury as you'll hear the case from all sides.

Maisie Adam continues the shocking story of a brutal attack at Paris Saint-Germain that turned close team-mates into bitter rivals, damaging lives, careers and reputations. The fragile harmony in the dressing room is finally and irrevocably broken with a training ground bust-up that has repercussions for the team in the Champions League. And pushes the embattled Kheira Hamraoui to breaking point. Meanwhile head coach Didier Olle-Nicolle who has continued to select Hamraoui for the team despite external pressures to drop her, finds himself at the centre of serious allegations of sexual misconduct involving a young PSG player. Suspended by the club while a formal investigation takes place a horrified and shocked Olle Nicolle must fight to clear his name. The claims against him are subsequently proved untrue and without any basis whatsoever but its a harrowing time for him, describing himself as “collateral damage” in the latest fall-out from the Diallo-Hamraoui affair. The two players themselves are both about to experience summers of discontent. For Diallo its the end of the road at PSG, a new contract failing to materialise. While for Hamraoui it soon becomes apparent she faces an uncertain, and for her an unhappy future at the club. There appears to be no end to her trials and tribulations. As the 2022/23 season starts Hamraoui is in near exile at the club, training alone away from the first team. For Diallo though she is effectively now unemployed, without a club, at the age where she should be approaching her peak playing days. But that is not the worst of her troubles. Because on the 16th September 2022 there's another knock at her door from the poilce and this time they have statements and wiretaps to back up their suspicions. She's arrested again – and this time charges will be made.Narrator Maisie Adam Interviews: Charlotte Harpur and Tom Williams Voices for interviewees performed by: Janine George, Chyna Johnson, Tom Roberts and Colin Ryan Translation for the Aminata Diallo interview: Laura Bennett Script consultant: Dave Bowler Researchers: Rob Carroll and Janet Hughes Assistant Producer: Jennifer Hanratty-Ball Editor: Kevin Hinde Assistant Commissioner for the BBC: Lizzi Doyle Commissioning Executive: Stevie Middleton Executive Producer: Craig South Writer and Producer: Jonathan SidesA PDI Media production for BBC Sounds and BBC Radio 5Live

With one player attacked and another player under suspicion of being involved in it, the return of both Kheira Hamraoui, the victim, and Aminata Diallo, the accused, to the PSG was never going to be straight forward. Particularly as Diallo had close friends in the squad who felt a raging sense of injustice for their team-mate, who had faced the humiliation of arrest and 36 hours in jail before being released without charge. And so it proved. The man tasked with trying to juggle and mend these fractured relationships was head coach Didier Olle-Nicolle. And what a time he had with a training regime to test his patience, his diplomacy skills - and his fitness. For Hamraoui it was a brutal time. Not only facing hostility in her own dressing room, she also had to contend with abuse from her own club's supporters, as well as opposiition players making spiteful comments. Into this toxic atmosphere emerged Cesar Mavacala, a controversial figure in French football, who, although not an official agent, represented the interests of several of PSG's top players. A call out of the blue from Mavacala to Olle-Nicolle set in motion a chain of events that would ultimately have terrible repercussions, as he positioned himself firmly in support of Diallo and against Hamraoui.

New episodes released on Wednesdays. If you're in the UK, listen to Sport's Strangest Crimes first on BBC Sounds. bit.ly/3DbxNzhFrench international footballer Kheira Hamraoui is in shock after being dragged from the car of her PSG team-mate Aminata Diallo, and then having her legs beaten black and blue by a masked man. But who did it? And who planned it? And why? Diallo goes unscathed during the attack, and takes her injured team-mate's place in the team to face Real Madrid in the Champions League. Playing a key role in a comprehensive 4-0 win life seems good for Diallo, with the extended run she'd craved now looking very likely. Until 6am the following morning that is - and an unexpected visit from the police.....Diallo goes from a rocking, euphoric Parc des Princes to a miserable, foul-smelling cell at Versailles jail in a matter of hours. With echoes of the infamous fall out between American ice skaters Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan, the world's media pick up on the story, and two relatively little known footballers are about to acquire the worst possible notoriety.Professional rivalry, jealousy, the desire to take a team-mate's place for both club and country is considered as a motive. But the players' private lives also come under scrutiny and investigators unearth a secret affair between Hamraoui and a married male ex-French football superstar, which becomes public knowledge – and with devastating consequences. As Diallo is released without charge, but not without suspicion, Hamraoui is now subject to the full glare of media scrutiny and online judgement and abuse.

Maisie Adam continues the incredible story of the organised hit on the French international footballer that took place in the leafy suburbs of Paris in November 2021. Despite a flying start to the season for the PSG's women's team there are the first rumblings of discontent and trouble behind the scenes. Head coach Didier Olle-Nicolle discovers Kheira Hamraoui in tears at the training ground and makes an alarming discovery about some mysterious and disturbing phonecalls made to her PSG team mates. Then a team bonding night out ends in the bloody and brutal beating of Hamraoui by a group of masked men. As the player reflects on what happened in the days that follow her suspicions about the involvement of a team mate begin to form. But surely it can't be her? Or can it? There are two sides to every story, more than one interpretation of every action and remember every crime needs means, motive and opportunity. So is everything as clear cut as it seems to Hamraoui? With passionately put arguments from the legal teams representing the victim and the accused you'll have the chance to decide....

Maisie Adam introduces the story of a brutal attack at Paris Saint-Germain that turned close team-mates into bitter rivals just months after a holiday in paradise together. Aminata Diallo and Kheira Hamraoui, both French international midfielders at PSG one of the biggest clubs in world football, appeared to be the best of friends. In the summer of 2021 they spent a vacation together in Zanzibar on the coast of East Africa, ahead of the new season. Yet within months Diallo would be arrested, accused of involvement in organising an attack on Hamraoui that targetted her legs in a deliberate attempt to cause serious injury. So who is Aminata Diallo? And why do the police believe she is guilty? And who is Kheira Hamraoui? And why has she become a target to be attacked in this way? Was this assault motivated by jealousy and ruthless career ambition on the part of Diallo? Or is it connected to Hamraoui's soon to be exposed private life? And could this even be a potential miscarriage of justice? The investigation starts here....With the case still to come to court this is the chance to hear evidence from those close to Diallo and Hamraoui – and make your own mind up. Like all good crime dramas, in this series we'll be examining the means, the motive and the opportunity.

“This is a moment of grace in our lives. People have come to visit us and we're going to share these people and these stories and whatever this time brings. Then they'd get up, say their goodbyes and my grandparents would go back to work. But at Seminary Hill what I wanted to do was make that sense of leisure and openness available to guests, whether they're coming to Seminary Hill to drink cider or to have a meal or to see friends.” We're in great company with Susan Manning and Doug Doetsch, owners of Seminary Hill in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains in New York. Here they have created, curated and stewarded a boutique hotel, restaurant and private event space to coincide with their proudly local and intently sustainable, orchard and cidery - inviting parched guests and passersby alike to experience the agricultural heritage of their land. With five generations of family members tending to this land and hosting travelers passing through, Doug and Susan returned to commemorate and reinvigorate this sense of place - but with a creative and collaborative twist. Recruiting community members and instilling regenerative practices to create the World's First Passive House-Certified Cidery for all to savor - whether during a stay or simply passing through.  In this episode, Susan and Doug give us a sweet taste of why Condé Nast Traveler has coined Seminary Hill as “James Fenimore Cooper's America with a dash of Tuscany.”  Top Takeaways [1:50] Back in the mid 1800s apple orchards were not planted for city folk to go apple picking or for that perfect Thanksgiving apple pie. They were for making cider…the cheapest form of alcohol and a drink safer than water.   [10:25] While Susan and Doug pursued careers in Chicago, they were called home to the Catskills to steward their family's land as it was in a “pre consumer culture” and yet to gentrify the town, curating a community of creatives with innovative ideas.  [13:10] Hospitality at Seminary Hill is a simple, timeless and selfless act of inviting passersby to sit on a porch in a rocking chair, having a conversation with a cold drink in hand.  [16:15] Seminary Hill is the world's first “Passive House-Certified Cidery.” What makes it “Passive House” you ask? [23:10] Stay in good company at the Boarding House on the National Registry of Historic Places and dine in good company at the Tasting Room overlooking the Seminary Hill orchard, savoring the smells, sights, and sounds of 60 varieties of apple trees and their entire holistic ecosystem. [45:00] Over the years, planting trees and putting them to bed has become a sort of “barn raising” tradition for the family and friends of Seminary Hill.

This week's episode kicks off with hosts Rick Houston and Steve Waid sitting down with Las Vegas Motor Speedway President and General Manager Chris Powell and NASCAR Hall of Famer Rusty Wallace for a very special announcement. Then, in the third and final installment of our conversation, Archie Kennedy talks about his disappointment at being cut from the Petty Enterprises over-the-wall pit crew and how that might or might not have played into the difficult decision to tell Richard and Lynda Petty that he would no longer be driving their motorhome. After leaving Petty Enterprises, Archie went to work for another ultra-significant figure in NASCAR history … Jeff Gordon. We then take a deep dive into the October 5, 1995 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Mark Martin wins at North Wilkesboro, but it's Ernie Irvan in the spotlight as he makes his return to competition. Ricky Rudd gets all bitc … sorry … Ricky Rudd is not pleased with NASCAR when he's forced to return to the pits late in the race to tighten loose lug nuts. It's revealed that Ted Musgrave got REALLY close to Bobby Hamilton in their battle for the 1991 rookie-of-the-year title. Curtis Markham doesn't let a little thing like blindness hinder HIS attempts to win the 1995 Busch Series freshman title. Archie Kennedy finds himself in Scene's Photo Bio section. Rusty Wallace talks about his dream vehicle … and it AIN'T on four wheels. Slim Jim moves its sponsorship to Jason Keller's team … and gives away A LOT of product.
