Fix What's Broken with Traditional Networking Replace Referrals with Introductions to Build Your Business Episode 266 (Donnie is based in Texas) In this conversation with Donnie Boivin we explore: why the traditional rules of networking fail in the B2B space how to eliminate the pitch and still make meaningful connections how to use LinkedIn QR codes instead of business cards what it means to rank your network and why it matters how to earn a trusted spot on someone's “starting lineup” the power of introductions vs. referrals how to use targeted questions to unlock valuable connections what types of professionals are best suited as referral partners how to use a simple five-word intro to start real conversations the mindset shift from “get a client” to “be a connector” ----- About our guest, Donnie Boivin: Donnie started his company at age 40 and was selected for the 40 under 40 list.  He is founder of Success Champion Networking, an online community for serious networkers. https://successchampionnetworking.com/ He is producer of the Bad Ass Business Summit https://badassbusinesssummit.com/ ----- Key Lessons from this conversation: Traditional networking is broken: Most networking advice is based on transactional sales models that don't apply to modern B2B relationships. Ditch the business cards and 30-second pitch: These old-school tools no longer serve professionals focused on building real business relationships. Use technology to connect smartly: Tools like LinkedIn QR codes help maintain control of your contacts and avoid spam. Your goal isn't clients—it's introductions: Real success comes from building relationships with synergistic partners who already sell to your ideal clients. Rank your network strategically: Donnie's 4-tier system helps you identify who's worth nurturing and who's just noise. Earn your spot on the ‘starting lineup': Become the go-to person for strategic partners by opening doors for them first. Ask better questions at events: Questions like “How did you get into what you do?” lead to meaningful conversations. Be specific when describing your ideal partner: Help others help you by clearly identifying who you want to meet and why. Make introductions, not referrals: Introductions are easier, lower-pressure, and can generate more opportunities in the long run. Network for synergy, not sales: The most powerful connections come from mutual support between professionals with shared clientele but no competition. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

Spiritual traditions have deep roots and have proven themselves over centuries to produce fruit. On the path, we experience the longing of the heart, the intuition of what is possible for a human being. Longing has no conclusion, no end. Our survival instinct has a limit, but longing has no limit. It's unusual for someone to be interested in traditional spiritual training unless they are with a group of people who have experienced longing. When spiritual life becomes stronger than survival instinct, training becomes personal and we may find that we cannot work through life long obstacles on our own. Many want training on their terms. The price for training is deeply held beliefs. Traditional training has the strength and clarity to produce calm-centered knowing. Many self-announced teachers have no accountability. The fruit of longing has the quality of having no life of one's own, described in the traditions as a mood of joy, delight, relief, gratitude, and discovery. Effort is needed to develop fearlessness and mental stamina. We almost always make decisions based on invisible motivations. We pick up influences that trigger a physical and subtle response and pass them on to each other. Our choices are colored by the influences we have collected. Intuition of the Beloved can carry us. The content of spiritual traditions may no longer suit the context of cultural situations. The content falls away; the context can never fall away. The practitioner's greatest gift is to hold their seat and practice invisibly. We can develop an aim for spiritual life and make decisions based on that aim. When we're talking about traditional spiritual training, it's all about relationship.

Machining aerospace alloys presents challenges to tool performance. A comprehensive strategy is essential to achieve optimal performance while avoiding process-limiting issues. These alloys are ideal for high-stress components due to their strength and heat resistance. However, their poor machinability stems from high strength and low thermal conductivity. Effective strategies encompass optimising cutting parameters, utilising advanced tool materials and coatings, and employing efficient cooling and lubrication techniques. Implementing precise toolpaths and chip evacuation can significantly enhance performance. “The biggest issue when machining high-temp alloys is heat,” says Danny Davis, Senior Staff Engineer Solutions at Kennametal. “We need to take special care in managing the heat through correct speeds, coolants, coatings and substrates.” Where is the heat coming from? Heat generated during cutting does not dissipate easily into the workpiece or chips when compared to other materials. This forces the tool, and sometimes the part, to bear the thermal burden. Every machining operation is essentially a thermal system where electrical energy enters the spindle and converts into kinetic energy (tool rotation and movement) and heat (from plastic deformation). During chip formation, three distinct phases occur: Rubbing, involving pure friction   Plowing or plastic deformation, where approximately 90% of energy becomes heat   Shearing, where actual chip separation occurs but still generates significant heat “Thermal energy is the biggest factor damaging the cutting edge,” said Steve George, Senior Manager, Product Design Engineering at Kennametal. Ways to Manage Heat in High-Temp Alloys Use tools designed for efficient cutting by reducing specific cutting energy—the energy required to remove a unit volume of material. Tools like HARVI™ I or HARVI II reduce cutting energy through optimised geometries and coatings.   Deploy advanced coatings such as Kennametal's KCSM15A grade, engineered specifically for high-temp alloys. Its smoother, thinner layer retains a sharper cutting edge while enhanced abrasion resistance makes it ideal for aggressive nickel-based alloy conditions.   Increase lubrication with high-pressure coolant systems or minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) to reduce thermal loads, particularly at high cutting speeds. Lubrication cools and separates contact surfaces, directly reducing energy converted to heat during rubbing and plowing stages.   Use tools made of insulating materials like ceramics or certain coated carbides. Since high-temp alloys have poor thermal conductivity, heat stays near the tool. If the cutting tool conducts heat better than the workpiece, it absorbs more heat and wears faster.   Minimise contact time during chip formation. Traditional milling involves constant contact, increasing heat due to extended machining time. Dynamic milling uses smaller radial engagement and keeps the cutter moving with less surface contact. Coolant and Lubrication Best Practices High-temp alloys require strategic coolant management: Water offers excellent heat transfer but poor lubrication. Combat abrasion with coolant rich in extreme pressure (EP) additives.   Air aids chip evacuation when coolant isn't viable. Neat oils provide superior lubrication but are reserved for extreme cases due to maintenance requirements. Placement matters as much as volume. Ensure coolant hits the cutting zone directly—poorly aimed nozzles waste coolant and leave tools vulnerable. Tools like the HARVI IV series offer through-tool coolant delivery. “Higher coolant concentrations help reduce abrasive wear and manage heat when machining high-temp alloys,” said Katie Myers, Product Manager Marketing at Kennametal. “High-pressure through-tool coolant ensures effective heat removal and chip evacuation, crucial for tool life and part quality.” Using Ceramic Tools in a Dry Environment Ceramic tools offer unique advantages when machining high-temp aerospace alloys. Their extreme temperature resistance makes them well-suited for dry cutting where traditional carbide tools struggle. “When we discuss ceramic tools, we're almost always talking about dry cutting,” explained George. “You need careful setup because ceramic tools are much more sensitive to tool path and workpiece geometry.” Managing heat without coolant is key with ceramics. George noted, “Heat is obviously a big concern with high-temp alloys, but ceramic likes heat. We want to generate heat and eliminate it quickly.” George advised avoiding re-cutting and ensuring good chip evacuation to prevent premature wear or failure. He suggested specific motion strategies: “Step the walls of pockets. As you step down, move away from the wall with each pass. This keeps the tool away from the heat zone and helps prevent excessive burr formation.” Effective Approaches for Solid End Milling of Aerospace Components Pocketing Techniques and Methods of Entry: Many aerospace parts feature deep, complex pockets requiring proper entry strategy and cutter selection, especially in materials prone to work hardening and thermal stress. “Pocketing is one of the most common aerospace operations, but it can be tricky with high-temp alloys,” said George. Plunge entry works best for small pockets with limited space. HARVI I TE or HARVI II TE solid end mills plunge directly into material, offering high flexibility for tight spaces. Ensure cutting forces don't exceed machine capabilities.   Ramp entry suits deeper pockets and allows more aggressive cutting. Straight angle ramping can significantly reduce cycle times but requires machine rigidity to withstand higher forces.   Helical interpolation provides the most stable and efficient pocketing strategy due to lighter depth of cuts. Corner geometry requires careful consideration. Oversized tools can cause excessive radial engagement in tight corners, increasing wear and chatter. “If you have a half-inch radius corner, use a three-quarter-inch diameter tool, maybe even 5/8,” said George. “Use a small enough tool to follow the corner arc without gouging or over-engagement.” Minimising Chatter and Maintaining Rigidity: Chatter often stems from machine-tool interface issues with high-temp alloys. Even the best tool can fail if the spindle or machine lacks rigidity to absorb cutting forces. “Chatter occurs when there's too much movement between tool and part, leading to inconsistent cuts and tool wear,” explains Myers. “The best way to reduce chatter is ensuring your machine has sufficient rigidity.” If chatter persists despite adjusting stickout and tool selection, reduce depth of cut to lessen cutting forces instead of slowing feeds and speeds. This keeps vibrations in check without impacting cycle time. “Even with a robust machine, combining long stickout and weak spindle can lead to chatter. It's about balancing tool size, rigidity and cutting force,” George says. Cutting Parameters and Tool Life Tool longevity directly relates to cutting parameters. Running tools at correct speeds, feeds and chip loads ensures maximum tool life while preventing premature wear. Speed is crucial when machining high-temp alloys—too fast burns through tools quickly. Chip thickness is equally important. Light radial engagement without proper feed compensation leads to rubbing rather than cutting, generating excess heat and accelerating wear. Wall Stiffness and Support Geometry When machining features like blisks, isogrids, or blades, geometry plays a critical role in maintaining part stability and minimising deflection. Adjacent or curved walls often reinforce features, offering opportunities to exceed standard roughing rules. “The curvature of the blade actually adds stiffness to that part,” said Davis. “These rules are guidelines. If the wall has curvature, adjacent walls, corners, or bottom radii—all add stiffness.” Conclusion Machining aerospace components from high-temp alloys demands more than just the right tools—it requires a comprehensive strategy addressing heat, rigidity, toolpath planning, and part geometry. Using the right strategies keeps you ahead of the solid end milling curve in machining complex aerospace parts.

Send us a textBoards have the power to transform your company's trajectory, but founders often struggle to leverage them effectively. Dr. Keith Dorsey, author of "The Boardroom Journey" and boardroom expert with experience spanning military service, corporate leadership, and academic research, joins Gwyneth Beaver-Crary to decode what truly makes a high-functioning board.Drawing from his experience serving on five different boards and his doctorate research on corporate governance, Dr. Dorsey dismantles the common founder mindset that views boards as obstacles rather than assets. He outlines the three critical functions boards should serve: management support, advisory service, and governance oversight. The most effective boards operate with a "noses in, fingers out" philosophy—asking thought-provoking questions without micromanaging operations.Beyond structure and function, this conversation tackles the often-overlooked importance of board composition. Traditional approaches focused on filling seats with familiar faces and fellow CEOs create dangerous echo chambers. Instead, Dr. Dorsey advocates for cognitive diversity and strategic alignment, explaining how to assess both visible skills (the 10% above the iceberg) and underlying competencies (the 90% below). His practical advice on conducting board assessments and facilitating difficult transitions offers founders a roadmap for building boards that evolve alongside their companies.Perhaps most valuable is Dr. Dorsey's guidance on vulnerability in board interactions. By sharing "the good, bad, and ugly" rather than carefully orchestrating presentations, founders can transform board meetings from obligatory check-ins to powerful strategic sessions that genuinely accelerate growth. Ready to stop dreading your board meetings and start leveraging them as true assets? This episode provides the blueprint you need.Looking to strengthen your board or find your place in the boardroom?

The credit industry is shifting how it evaluates borrowers. Traditional credit scoring has left over a billion people without access to financial services, but lenders are increasingly turning to alternative data—bank transactions, spending patterns, real-time financial behavior—to make more informed decisions about creditworthiness. Andrew Endicott has been at the center of this shift. As co-founder of Petal, he pioneered what they called “cash flow underwriting”—using real-time bank data alongside traditional credit reports to approve people for credit cards who would otherwise be turned away. The approach worked: Petal raised nearly $1 billion, proving that alternative underwriting isn't just better for consumers—it's good business.

Treatments like cell and gene therapies (CGTs) and GLP-1s are transforming care, but with double-digit growth in drug spend year over year, this transformation comes with an unsustainable price tag. And it's putting pressure on every part of the healthcare ecosystem, from patients and providers to employers and health plans. The strategies that purchasers have used to manage drug spend in the past are no longer getting the job done. But when our Advisory Board experts set out to find the innovators creating new ways to rein in spend, they came up empty. Purchasers appear to be stuck in a “wait and see” pattern—but no silver bullets are coming. This week, host Abby Burns invites Advisory Board experts Chloe Bakst, Aaron Hill, and Amanda Okaka to discuss the drivers behind rising drug costs and why traditional cost-saving strategies are falling short. They provide actionable guidance on how purchasers and plans can modernize their approach to utilization management and make moves toward integrating pharmacy and medical benefits in order to manage total cost of care—in other words, move toward value. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why drug spend is rising unsustainably Why the current efforts to improve drug affordability are helping, but not enough What it would look like to bring traditional strategies to manage spend into the 2020s What's on the horizon: the move toward tying drug spend to value We're here to help: How purchasers are tackling the affordability crisis of high-cost drugs 4 ways pharma can improve partnerships for cell and gene therapy delivery Cell and gene therapy programs: How to launch, optimize, and deliver CGTs sustainably Health Technology Pipeline (HTP) Survey insights: What to know about the clinician workforce today A transcript of this episode as well as more information and resources can be found on RadioAdvisory.advisory.com.

We have not just one but two guests for you this week - Dr. Steve Truch and Devan Kublik! Steve has over 50 years of experience in education, beginning as a junior high school English teacher and then working as a school psychologist, ultimately founding The Reading Foundation clinics across North America to provide one-on-one therapy for students with learning difficulties. He is the primary author of the Discover educational programs used at the clinics and has written several books and articles on reading and cognitive assessment. His work reflects a continued commitment to aligning educational methods with current research, particularly in the science of reading. Devan Kublik holds a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics and has been with The Reading Foundation since 1999, currently serving as Director of Standards across all locations. She has held leadership roles in multiple clinics and has contributed to nearly every aspect of the organization, including training, program development, and student assessment. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, reading, and mountain activities. In our conversation, we discuss the issue of reading proficiency among U.S. students, where only 35% of 4th graders are considered proficient readers. We explore how reading instruction methods have changed and evolved over time, from the whole language method to the current emphasis on the science of reading and phonics. Dr. Truch explains how the speech-to-print method, focusing on teaching the phonemic structure of words and their corresponding visual representations, can be a more effective way to help students learn to read. Devan also highlights the importance of "dosage” (the intensity and duration of intervention) in speeding along the process, especially during the summer when students are not constrained by the school schedule. She shares how the Reading Foundation's programs offer individualized and immersive instruction customized to each student's unique needs, often leading to remarkable changes in their confidence and academic performance. Devan and Dr. Truch stress that while reading instruction has been a longstanding challenge for the education system, solutions that are backed by research are available, and that the key is connecting families with the right resources to help their children overcome reading difficulties and unlock their full potential. So, whether your child is a reluctant reader or has faced persistent challenges, this episode offers valuable insights and a glimmer of hope.   Show Notes: [2:55] - Dr. Truch argues that teaching methods for reading often ignore science and harm struggling learners. [5:20] - Traditional phonics rules are inconsistent, but speech-to-print offers a more logical alternative. [8:49] - Dr. Truch adds that teaching children sound-to-spelling connections can lead to better results than relying on abstract rules. [12:11] - Summer can accelerate reading gains for struggling students via structured but individualized intervention. [15:46] - Proper intervention speeds along progress, especially when it is intensive, customized, and monitored. [18:04] - Summer also allows for customized literacy support based on a student's specific needs. [19:14] - Dr. Truch points out how effective reading intervention depends on both program dosage and using the correct method. [21:37] - Untreated reading struggles often leave lasting emotional damage, sometimes even resembling symptoms of PTSD. [23:29] - When parents lack the training to lead interventions, both they and the children can get frustrated. [25:45] - Rapid emotional changes happen once children experience early success via reading intervention. [27:24] - Early, focused instruction can boost lifelong success for struggling readers, as is backed by data and expert recognition. [30:01] - Hear how, with the right tools, one shy girl gained confidence and began reading aloud at school. [32:17] - Dr. Truch explains how targeted assessments can help pinpoint delays.

46. "Isn't job sharing just fancy part-time work with a new name?" If you've ever wondered this, you're not alone—and this episode is for you.Here's the truth: While job sharers do work part-time schedules, job sharing is fundamentally different from traditional part-time work. Understanding these differences could be the key to unlocking career-life balance without sacrificing professional growth.The reality? Traditional part-time work often becomes a career trap, especially for working parents. But job sharing can actually accelerate your career while giving you the life you want.In this episode, you'll discover:The 3 crucial differences that determine whether you'll thrive or just surviveWhy 71% of job share teams get promoted together (versus career stagnation in most part-time roles)How job sharers avoid the "part-time penalty" and stay on leadership tracksWhy job share teams are up to  30% more productive than full-time employeesAs one job sharer told me: "We would get more done in our three days each than most people get done in five days."

The standard of care for monitoring blood pressure during surgery hasn't changed in nearly 40 years, despite technological advances that could prevent serious complications and save lives. This eye-opening episode takes listeners inside a recent Capitol Hill briefing where healthcare professionals, lawmakers, and patient safety advocates made the case for continuous blood pressure monitoring as a critical patient safety measure.Alarming statistics frame the urgency of this issue: one in nine Americans undergoes surgery annually, with 88% experiencing potentially dangerous hypotension. Traditional arm cuffs that measure blood pressure only every few minutes leave dangerous blind spots where rapid drops may go undetected. The consequences can be devastating – kidney injury, heart damage, stroke, and even death. For pregnant women undergoing cesarean sections, the risks extend to their babies, with maternal hypotension potentially causing fetal acidosis and neurological compromise.With the United States maintaining the highest maternal mortality rate among wealthy nations and evidence showing that more than half of pregnancy-related deaths are potentially avoidable, this episode makes a powerful case for updating our standards. The technology exists, the evidence supports it, and the benefits are clear – it's time for healthcare providers, policymakers, and industry leaders to collaborate in making continuous blood pressure monitoring the new standard of care.Ready to become a champion for continuous blood pressure monitoring at your institution? Visit APSF.org to learn more about this lifesaving technology and join the movement to ensure no one is harmed by anesthesia care.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/263-blood-pressure-blind-spots/© 2025, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation

Alan Hollander, VP of Offer Packaging and Pricing Strategy at Blackbaud, has led pricing initiatives for six years. With nearly three decades in pricing, his impressive career began in 1994 when Tom Nagle hired him after Alan excelled in Nagle's "Strategy and Tactics of Pricing" course. He also held key roles at Ellucian and Simon-Kucher & Partners, bringing deep expertise in large-scale pricing transformations. In this episode, Alan addresses a major challenge for SaaS companies: how AI disrupts traditional per-user pricing. Drawing on his experience at Blackbaud (serving nonprofits with CRM and financial tools), he explains why AI's efficiency conflicts with seat-based pricing. He and Mark discuss the difficulties of shifting customers to new pricing models, managing multiple approaches, and implementing pricing innovations gradually.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Understand why AI is fundamentally incompatible with per-user pricing and what alternatives actually work in practice. Learn how to implement pricing model changes without overwhelming your organization's operational capabilities. Discover the "crawl, walk, run" approach to pricing transformation that builds momentum through proven results.   "Don't go right to the end goal, in the future state, because people are just going to look at you cross-eyed. Start with quick wins, start with test pilots, test the concepts, show the results, quantify the results so you can build momentum in launching new pricing models." — Alan Hollander   Topics Covered: 01:30 — Alan's pricing journey: From Tom Nagle's student to Strategic Pricing Group veteran 02:45 — The AI pricing dilemma: Pricing products with AI vs. using AI for pricing 04:15 — Why AI pricing isn't different: It's still all about jobs-to-be-done and value creation 11:15 — The nonprofit sector challenge: Selling efficiency when budgets are already tight 14:30 — Human augmentation vs. job replacement: Reframing the AI conversation 16:45 — The Salesforce problem: When AI doubles productivity but revenue stays flat 19:20 — Blackbaud's approach: Combining user-based and consumption-based models 21:45 — Market segmentation reality: Financial vs. fundraising as separate buying centers 24:10 — The PayPal model: Why percentage-of-success pricing works for fundraising 26:30 — Optional pricing models: Letting customers choose fixed vs. variable approaches 28:45 — The operational reality check: Systems and processes needed for pricing flexibility 31:00 — The "crawl, walk, run" philosophy: Building momentum through incremental wins   Key Takeaways: "Per user is not going to be the answer. You're going to stagnate because unless you're just going to increase your per user price, it doesn't align with how they consume, how they use, what value they get." — Alan Hollander "Sometimes you have to do the right things before you do things right... you can have a beautiful strategy in terms of how you monetize and price, and it's very elegant and you've done all the analytics and it looks super cool. But sometimes you actually need to basically what I would say, do a crawl, walk, run." — Alan Hollander "If you don't lead with the value, I don't care if it's AI, SaaS, it doesn't matter what it is. If you don't lead with the value in a business case... you're not going to get anywhere." — Alan Hollander   Resources and People Mentioned: Blackbaud: https://www.blackbaud.com/  Tom Nagle: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-tom-nagle  Reed Holden: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reed-holden-913ab69/    Connect with Alan Hollander: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alan-hollander-753167/  Email: alan.hollander@blackbaud.com   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com  

In this special episode, I had the joy of sitting down with Aiko Okubo and her husband Hiroshi, who joined us as a translator, for a heartfelt conversation about the rise of homeopathy in Japan. Aiko opened up about her early doubts and the powerful moments that shifted her perspective—starting with a friend's healing and later, her mother-in-law's search for alternative care. We explored the current challenges and quiet progress of homeopathy in Japan, from limited public awareness to the growing accessibility of remedies online. Aiko also spoke about blending traditional Japanese medicine with homeopathy and how both systems connect on a deeper, energetic level. Her passion truly shines through as she shares her mission to grow a new generation of Japanese homeopaths, inspired by her work in establishing Homeopathy Academy Japan alongside Dr. Ewald Stoteler. Episode Highlights: 02:51 - How Aiko discovered homeopathy 05:35 - Homeopathy scene in Japan 08:31 - Traditional medicine and homeopathy in Japan 14:08 - Establishing a Homeopathy School in Japan 21:27 - Future hopes for homeopathy in Japan 24:17 - Advice for skeptics to try homeopathy About my Guests: Aiko Okubo is a homeopath and principal of Homeopathy Academy Japan (HAJapan), where she leads with a vision to cultivate skilled and compassionate homeopaths. She emphasizes hands-on learning through small group systems, where students collaborate, review lectures, and practice real-world scenarios. This group-based approach not only builds practical skills but also creates a strong community of future homeopaths who support and learn from each other. Under Aiko's leadership, HAJapan focuses on quality over quantity, selecting a small number of dedicated students each year. The academy integrates advanced training, mentorship, and opportunities for students to eventually become educators themselves. Aiko's goal is to foster a generation of professionals who are both clinically capable and ethically grounded, helping raise the standard of homeopathy in Japan.

Homeowners have access to a record-breaking $35 trillion in home equity. With interest rates uncomfortably high, tapping into that wealth has become complicated. Traditional options like HELOCs and second mortgages are expensive, and new companies are pushing "Home Equity Investments" (HEIs)—deals that often seem too good to be true. On this episode, we break down all your options for accessing your home equity, from understanding the risks of HEIs to exploring the pros and cons of reverse mortgages, HELOCs, and traditional second mortgages. Learn how to unlock your home's cash without risking your financial future.

Bob Burke, Chief Information Security Officer at Beyond Identity, challenges the effectiveness of traditional multi-factor authentication (MFA) in the evolving landscape of cybersecurity. He argues that legacy MFA solutions, which often rely on out-of-band authorization methods like push notifications or one-time passwords, are no longer sufficient against the rising tide of sophisticated cyber threats. With the advent of services like phishing-as-a-service, attackers can easily bypass these outdated security measures, necessitating a shift towards phishing-resistant authentication methods. Burke emphasizes the need for organizations to adopt solutions that not only enhance security but also consider device posture and trustworthiness.Burke also critiques the current state of FIDO2 and passkeys, acknowledging their potential while highlighting their limitations, particularly in terms of device posture and user experience. He suggests that small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) should prioritize phishing-resistant solutions that integrate both browser protection and device authentication. Furthermore, he raises concerns about the pricing models of many Software as a Service (SaaS) providers, which often place essential security features behind higher-tier subscriptions, effectively discouraging customers from adopting more secure practices.The conversation shifts to the endpoint detection and response (EDR) market, where Burke notes that while EDR solutions are still necessary, they are evolving into more comprehensive offerings like extended detection and response (XDR). He points out that many of these solutions are priced for enterprise-level organizations, leaving SMBs and mid-market companies struggling to find affordable options. Burke encourages these organizations to seek out solutions that fit their budget while still providing essential security capabilities.Finally, Burke shares insights from his experience with the FedRAMP certification process, emphasizing the importance of building internal security competencies and integrating security into product design from the outset. He advocates for a clear internal compliance program, such as NIST, to guide organizations in their security efforts. As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, Burke warns that the tempo and scope of attacks are increasing, driven by advancements in AI, and urges organizations to reassess their security architectures to stay ahead of emerging threats.  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Stephen Fitch | Traditional Service

Episode overview: Andrew Hall faces a unique challenge: building profitable telecommunications infrastructure across one of Africa's largest countries with one of its smallest populations. As managing director of Paratus Namibia, Hall oversees operations spanning vast distances where traditional business models struggle to pencil out. Andile Masuku invites Hall to share on the realities of building networks where "you'll see three fibres running next to the road" instead of shared infrastructure, why COVID accelerated their consumer business, and how recent oil discoveries are reshaping Namibia's economic landscape. Key insights: - On geographic challenges: Namibia's vast distances and sparse population create unique infrastructure economics where covering remote areas requires careful return-on-investment calculations across extended payback periods. - On competitive landscape: Operating alongside two state-owned enterprises creates complex market dynamics where regulatory considerations and different organisational mandates influence infrastructure deployment strategies. - On infrastructure sharing: Despite logical benefits, competitive dynamics often result in duplicated infrastructure: "three towers standing next to each other" rather than collaborative deployment approaches. - On consumer versus enterprise: Traditional enterprise focus (75% of business) provided stability, but consumer growth since 2016 now drives expansion, particularly accelerated during COVID-19 periods. - On technology transitions: Moving from WiMAX limitations (4-10 Mbps) to fibre required strategic timing; balancing asset sweating against customer retention as bandwidth demands increased around 2018. Notable moments: 1. Hall's description of infrastructure redundancy: "If you drive down the road, you'll see three fibres running next to the road. If you're driving from one town to the other, you'll see two or three towers standing next to each other" 2. The COVID-19 catalyst: Consumer business performed "very, very well" as people became "100% reliant, work-wise, education-wise, entertainment-wise on connectivity" 3. Recent oil discoveries creating positive economic outlook with increased foreign investment interest and improved business confidence The development question: Hall addresses the expectation that telecoms should "unlock growth economically for an entire nation" by emphasising education as the foundation. Paratus's corporate social responsibility focuses on educational sector connectivity because "for children to have access to the internet, it makes the world a lot smaller." His perspective reflects broader African infrastructure challenges: balancing commercial sustainability with development impact, managing investor expectations whilst serving diverse stakeholder needs, and building institutional capacity in environments with limited technical specialisation. "I think access to the internet plays a crucial role. And I think it starts at grass root level in the form of education... for children to have access to the internet, it makes the world a lot smaller." Image credit: Paratus Namibia
