Welcome to the weekly Recruitment Podcast by The Recruitment Network (TRN) – where we share real conversations to help you build your recruiting team, improve recruiter performance, and stay ahead in an increasingly competitive recruitment market.TRN – Enabling recruitment businesses to maximise their performance, productivity and profitability.In this episode, James Osborne explores one of the biggest drivers of recruitment efficiency and profitability: building talent pools that actually work.Many recruitment businesses believe they have talent pools, when in reality they have databases. Collections of names, contacts, and past candidates that aren't strategically segmented, regularly engaged, or aligned to market demand. The result? Unpredictable time-to-submit, inconsistent fill rates, stressed sourcing teams, and missed revenue opportunities.Drawing on years of experience helping recruitment businesses improve sourcing performance, James breaks down what separates high-performing talent pools from static candidate databases. He shares practical strategies for creating warm, demand-aligned pools that reduce sourcing time, improve placement success, and give recruiters a sustainable competitive advantage.This episode covers:• Why time-to-submit directly impacts fill rates, profitability, and recruiter productivity• The difference between a database and a genuine talent pool• What makes a talent pool "warm", available, and ready to deploy• How to structure talent pools by market, skill set, seniority, and demand• Maintaining candidate quality and engagement over time• Common talent pool mistakes that limit sourcing effectiveness• Predicting future hiring demand before vacancies arrive• Scaling talent pools without compromising quality• Turning your talent pool into a long-term sourcing and delivery advantageWhether you're a recruitment business owner, recruitment leader, sourcing manager, or recruiter looking to improve delivery performance, this episode will help you rethink your approach to candidate management and give you practical ideas you can implement immediately.What is TRN?The Recruitment Network is the ultimate support network for recruitment business leaders.

Parliament's Portfolio Committees on Transport and Home Affairs have expressed shock at the widespread abuse of Traffic Register Numbers, or TRNs, allegedly by criminal syndicates. MPs heard that around one million TRN applications may have been supported by fraudulent documents. The committees say the system has been exploited to open bank accounts, purchase vehicles and bypass immigration controls. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to the Chairperson of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Transport Donald Selamolela.

Welcome to the weekly Recruitment Podcast by The Recruitment Network (TRN) — where we share real conversations to help you build your recruiting team, level up recruiter performance, and stay ahead in an ever-changing recruitment market.TRN – Enabling recruitment businesses to maximise their performance, productivity and profitability.In this episode, we explore one of the most important questions facing recruitment business leaders today: what separates the agencies that are winning market share from those that are falling behind?The recruitment market is splitting. Some agencies are struggling with outdated operating models, fragile cultures, and softening niches. Others are adapting, rebuilding their businesses around what the market now demands and seeing stronger profitability, deeper client relationships, and renewed momentum.And then there are the superagencies.These businesses come in all shapes and sizes. Some are solo operators performing at the level of larger teams. Others are established agencies scaling rapidly. What they have in common is not size, but a shared set of principles, behaviours, and operating models that consistently drive high performance.In this session, James Osborne breaks down the common threads found across today's highest-performing recruitment businesses and reveals the practical steps agency leaders can take to move towards superagency performance.This is a strategic and highly practical discussion focused on what is actually working in the recruitment market right now.This episode covers:• The common threads shared by high-performing superagencies• What "doing the basics brilliantly" really means in today's market• How AI is being used as a genuine productivity accelerator• Building candidate and client experiences that create long-term loyalty• Consultant-led selling and the shift from vendor to trusted advisor• The operating models and structures that drive sustainable high performance• The cultural foundations that support growth, profitability, and resilienceWho this is for:Recruitment business owners, directors, and leaders who want to build a stronger, more profitable agency that consistently wins market share and attracts top talent.If you're looking to future-proof your business, improve performance, and understand what the best recruitment agencies are doing differently, this is an episode you won't want to miss.—What is TRN?The Recruitment Network is the ultimate support network for recruitment business leaders.

In a live X Spaces discussion hosted by CancerNetwork® in collaboration with the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT), Marc J. Braunstein, MD, PhD, and Sofia Zahid, MD, highlighted noteworthy presentations and abstracts in hematologic oncology at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. Together, they discussed the data that may shake up clinical practice across different multiple myeloma, leukemia, and lymphoma populations.Braunstein is an associate professor in the Department of Medicine and course co-director of the Hematology/Oncology System at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine, as well as the fellowship program director of Hematology/Oncology at NYU Langone Health. Zahid is a first-year fellow at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine.The discussion focused on the following abstracts:·      Abstract 7512o   Combining belantamab mafodotin-blmf (Blenrep) with daratumumab (Darzalex), lenalidomide (Revlimid), and dexamethasone produced rapid activity among patients with transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in the phase 1/2 BelaDRd study (EUCT-2024-515634-32).o   The progression-free survival (PFS) benefits observed in the trial support further evaluation of the quadruplet in a phase 3 study compared with other novel combination regimens in NDMM.·      Abstract 6505o   Revumenib (Revuforj) maintenance therapy after allogeneic stem cell transplantation showed feasibility in a heavily pretreated cohort of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).o   Outcomes appeared favorable vs historical cohorts, supporting prospective assessment of maintenance menin inhibition among those with AML.·      Abstract 1503o   In a retrospective analysis of electronic medical records for 293 patients who received CAR T-cell therapy for lymphoma (n = 175), multiple myeloma (n = 106), or B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n = 12), outpatient monitoring was associated with significantly fewer hospital days without increased emergency department visits or 30-day mortality.o   These findings show the potential for lower healthcare utilization for patients who receive CAR T-cell therapy in the outpatient setting.·      Abstract LBA7000o   Adding tafasitamab (Monjuvi) and lenalidomide to rituximab (Rituxan), cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) significantly improved PFS vs R-CHOP alone among those with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the phase 3 frontMIND trial (NCT04824092).o   The data may support tafasitamab plus lenalidomide and R-CHOP as a potential new standard of care in the frontline treatment of patients with cell-of-origin subtypes of high-risk DLBCL.References Terpos E, Ntanasis-Stathopoulos I, Gavriatopoulou M, et al.

Welcome to the weekly Recruitment Podcast by The Recruitment Network (TRN) — where we share real conversations to help you build your recruiting team, improve recruiter performance, and stay ahead in an increasingly competitive recruitment market. TRN – Enabling recruitment businesses to maximise their performance, productivity and profitability. In this episode, James Osborne cuts through the noise surrounding AI in recruitment and focuses on one critical question: Is your AI investment actually improving revenue — or just creating the illusion of productivity? Recruitment leaders are being flooded with AI tools, vendor promises, and “game-changing” automation platforms. But while many claim to save time, very few deliver measurable commercial impact. The firms gaining a real competitive advantage aren't adopting AI for the sake of innovation. They're deploying it strategically — to improve placement velocity, increase conversion rates, enhance consultant productivity, and protect margins. This webinar is a practical, commercially focused breakdown of how recruitment businesses can stop chasing vanity metrics and start evaluating AI through the lens of ROI and business performance. This is not another AI hype session. It's about solving real business problems and making smarter investment decisions. This episode covers: • How to shift your AI strategy from capability-focused to ROI-focused • Which AI applications in recruitment genuinely impact revenue and profitability • Real examples of AI improving placement speed, conversion, and consultant output • How to calculate true ROI on AI investments • The hidden cost of “efficiency theater” and where firms waste money on shiny tools • The most common AI implementation mistakes recruitment businesses make • A practical framework for identifying high-impact AI opportunities in your business • The key questions recruitment leaders should ask AI vendors before investing Who this is for: Recruitment business owners, directors, and leaders who want to use AI strategically — not just tactically — and ensure every investment drives measurable commercial outcomes. If you're serious about increasing recruiter productivity, improving margins, and making AI work for your bottom line, this is an episode you won't want to miss. — What is TRN?

Welcome to the weekly Recruitment Podcast by The Recruitment Network (TRN) — where we share real conversations to help you build your recruiting team, level up recruiter performance, and stay ahead in an ever-changing recruitment market.TRN – Enabling recruitment businesses to maximise their performance, productivity and profitability.In this episode, we tackle a challenge many recruitment leaders are quietly facing:The calls aren't landing like they used to. The pipeline feels inconsistent. The team is busy — but the board isn't filling.And in most cases, the problem isn't effort. It's the model.The traditional BD approach that once delivered predictable growth — volume-led, job-led, relationship-light — is becoming increasingly ineffective in today's market. Buyer behaviour has changed. Client expectations have shifted. And agencies still relying on outdated business development structures are finding growth harder to sustain year after year.In this session, James Osborne breaks down why traditional BD is producing diminishing returns — and what a modern, high-performing BD engine actually looks like in today's recruitment market.This is a practical conversation about building demand, improving engagement, and creating a BD model that delivers consistent commercial performance.This episode covers:• Why traditional BD activity is becoming less effective in today's market• The structural shift in how recruitment clients now buy services• What high-growth agencies are doing differently when it comes to prospecting and conversion• How to move from demand chasing to demand creation• The conversation shift that positions recruiters as strategic partners instead of vendors• What a modern BD system needs to consistently produce results in any market conditionsWho this is for:Recruitment leaders who know their BD strategy needs to evolve — and want a clear, honest breakdown of what needs to change to stay competitive.If you're serious about improving pipeline consistency, modernising your BD approach, and building a recruitment business that scales more effectively — this is an episode you won't want to miss.—What is TRN?The Recruitment Network is the ultimate support network for recruitment business leaders.

Welcome to the weekly Recruitment Podcast by The Recruitment Network (TRN) — where we share real conversations to help you build your recruiting team, level up recruiter performance, and stay ahead in an ever-changing recruitment market.TRN – Enabling recruitment businesses to maximise their performance, productivity and profitability.In this episode, we move beyond the theory of AI and focus on one question: what is it actually doing to your numbers?Right now, many recruitment businesses are experimenting with AI tools week after week. But without a clear strategy, those efforts often remain inconsistent — disconnected from real commercial outcomes.The businesses pulling ahead aren't just using AI — they're using it with intent.They understand exactly where AI is compressing time-to-shortlist, increasing fill rate, and freeing up consultants to focus on high-value, revenue-generating activity. And they're building their approach around those gains.In this session, James Osborne cuts through the noise to focus on what AI-driven improvement actually looks like on a billing desk — and how to build a focused, strategic approach that delivers measurable results in your business.This is not a hype-driven conversation. It's a practical breakdown of how to connect AI investment directly to revenue performance.This episode covers:• How to separate AI hype from tools that genuinely move the needle• The revenue metrics most impacted by smart AI deployment• Where AI is accelerating the billing cycle — and where it creates false efficiency• How to audit your current AI usage against real commercial outcomes• The workflow changes that consistently improve revenue per consultant• A simple diagnostic to identify your highest-return AI opportunity right nowWho this is for:Recruitment leaders who want to connect their AI investment directly to commercial performance and drive measurable results.If you're serious about improving productivity, increasing revenue per consultant, and making AI actually work for your business — this is an episode you won't want to miss.—What is TRN?The Recruitment Network is the ultimate support network for recruitment business leaders.

Welcome to the weekly Recruitment Podcast by The Recruitment Network (TRN) – where we share real conversations to help you build your recruiting team, level up recruiter performance, and stay ahead in an ever-changing recruitment market.TRN – Enabling recruitment businesses to maximise their performance, productivity and profitability.In this episode, we tackle a growing challenge for recruitment business owners and leaders: why the traditional agency model is hitting its ceiling — and what to do next.With margins under increasing pressure and clients expecting more value than ever before, many agencies built on transactional delivery are finding it harder to grow profitably. Simply doing more work is no longer the answer. The model itself needs to evolve.The businesses pulling ahead are those making a deliberate shift towards a consultancy-led approach — one that allows them to increase margins, strengthen client relationships, and differentiate in a crowded market.In this session, we introduce TRN's New Consultancy Model, designed to help recruitment businesses move from typical margins of around 18% to 35%+ by rethinking how they position, sell, and deliver their services.This is not a theoretical discussion. It's a practical breakdown of what actually needs to change — from your offer and pricing structure to the conversations you're having with clients and the value you demonstrate at every stage of the engagement.This is a no-fluff, commercially focused conversation aimed at helping you build a more profitable and resilient recruitment business.If you want to move beyond transactional delivery, increase your margins, and create a model that clients are willing to pay more for, this episode is essential listening.This episode covers:• Why the traditional agency model is structurally capped on margin• What defines a consultancy-led recruitment business• How leading agencies are achieving 35%+ average margins• The services, behaviours, and conversations that justify higher fees• How to reposition your business without losing existing clientsWhether you're looking to scale, improve profitability, or future-proof your business, the fundamentals remain the same: align your model with client value, elevate your positioning, and build relationships based on expertise — not transactions.If you are serious about higher margins, stronger client relationships, and long-term differentiation, this is an episode you won't want to miss.What is TRN?The Recruitment Network is the ultimate support network for recruitment business leaders.

Welcome to the weekly Recruitment Podcast by The Recruitment Network (TRN) – where we share real conversations to help you build your recruiting team, level up recruiter performance, and stay ahead in an ever-changing recruitment market.TRN – Enabling recruitment businesses to maximise their performance, productivity and profitability.In this episode, we focus on the changing reality of business development in recruitment — and why traditional approaches are delivering diminishing returns.Today's buyers are more cautious, more informed, and far less responsive to generic outreach. The old model of high-volume, job-led BD is no longer enough to consistently generate quality opportunities. Activity alone doesn't create pipeline — relevance and insight do.The recruiters and leaders seeing the most success are those who have shifted from transactional selling to insight-led partnership. They lead with perspective, structure better conversations, and position themselves as trusted advisors rather than suppliers.In this session, we break down what that shift actually looks like in practice — from how you approach prospects to how you qualify opportunities and build meaningful client relationships over time.This is a practical, no-fluff conversation designed to help you rethink your BD strategy — not to increase activity, but to improve the quality and conversion of your pipeline.If you want to generate better conversations, build stronger client trust, and create more predictable revenue through smarter BD, this episode is essential listening.This episode covers:• Why job-led business development is losing traction in today's market• How to design conversations around industry trends and client implications• The importance of client scorecarding and qualification discipline• How to move prospects from low-touch awareness to high-trust dialogue• What advisory positioning looks like in real client meetingsWhether you're leading a team or actively developing business yourself, the fundamentals remain the same: focus on relevance, lead with insight, and qualify with intent.If you want to build a BD engine that produces better quality pipeline — not just more activity — this is an episode you won't want to miss.What is TRN?The Recruitment Network is the ultimate support network for recruitment business leaders.

Welcome to the weekly Recruitment Podcast by The Recruitment Network (TRN) – where we share real conversations to help you build your recruiting team, level up recruiter performance, and stay ahead in an ever-changing recruitment market.TRN – Enabling recruitment businesses to maximise their performance, productivity and profitability.In this episode with James Osborne, we unpack one of the most overlooked value leaks in recruitment: how agencies repeatedly rebuild candidate value from scratch.Most recruitment businesses say candidates are their greatest asset.Very few actually operate as if that's true.Instead, the industry quietly absorbs one of its biggest hidden cost drains — re-sourcing candidates that consultants have already placed, spoken to, or shortlisted before. Every time this happens, the business effectively pays twice for the same work. The cost rarely shows up clearly on a P&L, but it appears through slower delivery, increased job board spend, inconsistent desk performance, and shrinking margins.In this session, James introduces The Ultimate Candidate Pool Playbook — a practical framework for turning candidate relationships into a genuine commercial asset, rather than something that simply sits inside your CRM.He explains how high-performing agencies build structured candidate pools that compound value over time, allowing consultants to deliver faster, reduce repeat sourcing, and dramatically increase productivity without increasing workload.If you want to stop repeatedly paying for work you've already done — and start running candidate relationships like the assets they truly are — this conversation is an essential starting point.This episode covers:• Why most recruitment businesses repeatedly rebuild candidate value from scratch• The hidden cost of re-sourcing candidates already known to your business• How high-performing agencies build candidate pools that compound value over time• Practical ways to segment and nurture talent to drive faster shortlists and stronger conversions• How structured candidate pools reduce reliance on job boards and paid advertising• Why most CRMs become “candidate graveyards” — and how to fix it• How to increase consultant productivity without increasing workload• The systems and behaviours needed to build candidate pools that actually placeWhether you're a solo recruiter or running a multi-desk agency, the principle is simple: the more value you retain and reuse from candidate relationships, the faster and more profitable your business becomes.If you want to deliver faster, reduce wasted sourcing effort, and turn your candidate relationships into a true commercial asset, this episode is a must-watch.What is TRN?The Recruitment Network is the ultimate support network for recruitment business leaders.

Welcome to the weekly recruitment insights podcast by The Recruitment Network – where we unpack the strategies, structures, and operating models that help recruitment businesses perform better, grow faster, and stay future fit in an evolving market.In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most debated topics in recruitment: 180 vs 360 recruitment models – and which one actually works best for modern agencies.Is the traditional 360 model still fit for purpose, or is a more specialised 180 or hybrid approach the key to driving performance and profitability? We explore the practical realities of both models, the operational challenges agencies face, and the structural changes that high-performing recruitment businesses are making to stay competitive.This conversation goes beyond theory – it tackles real-world insights, common pitfalls, and actionable ideas you can apply in your own business.We cover:• The differences between 180 and 360 recruitment models• Why traditional 360 structures can limit scalability• The benefits of specialisation and role segmentation• How hybrid models are reshaping recruitment operations• Practical ways to improve productivity and profitability• Future-fit recruitment structures in a changing market• What high-performing agencies are doing differentlyIf you're a recruitment business leader, manager, or consultant looking to optimise your operating model and build a more profitable, scalable agency – this episode is for you.

The conversation looks at the shift away from purely transactional recruitment towards deeper client partnerships, with Neil and James discussing how the strongest recruiters are increasingly acting as consultants, helping organisations understand skills shortages, workforce planning and long-term talent strategy. In a market shaped by hesitation, cost pressures and uneven demand, this advisory role is becoming a clear differentiator. The episode also looks ahead at how recruitment models are changing, including the impact of technology, data and AI on how agencies operate and deliver value. Neil and James discuss what recruiters need to stay ahead of that change, from skills and mindset to the support structures around them. The new partnership between REC and TRN is designed to support members through this transition, bringing shared insight, collaboration and enhanced resources to help recruitment businesses adapt, grow and stay relevant in the years ahead.

Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NL6RCFsiVgIn this detailed whiteboard-style episode, we explore the superior colliculus within the mesencephalon (midbrain) and its critical role in the autistic phenotype. Focusing on rapid visual processing, we explain how ~15% of retinal fibers bypass the thalamus to directly reach the superior colliculus for fast gaze orientation and saccades, while heightened gamma waves and imbalanced feedforward/feedback loops contribute to sensory overload, delayed eye movements, and challenges in attention modulation. Connections to the thalamus, frontal eye fields, basal ganglia, and cranial nerves are mapped out, underscoring the midbrain's evolutionary primacy in sensory integration, motor control, and external orientation—highlighting why disruptions here profoundly impact autistic neurology.Daylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off at https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismChroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autismFig Tree Christian Golf Apparel & Accessories, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://figtreegolf.com/?ref=autismCognity AI for Autistic Social Skills, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://thecognity.com00:00 Mesencephalon in Autism Midbrain issues in autism: eye movements (superior colliculus), hearing (inferior colliculus), motor (basal ganglia links)01:04 Brainstem Diagram Diagram: inferior colliculus (auditory, green); superior colliculus (visual relay, red); thalamus with geniculate bodies02:09 Retinal Projections Melanin-rich retina → ~15% direct fibers to superior colliculus for fast gaze/orientation; rest to lateral geniculate03:41 Superior Colliculus Outputs Descending to cranial nerves 3/4/6 (eyes), 9-12 (head), vagus (10); rapid visual-motor responses05:33 Thalamus Protection Thalamus sensory hub; protected by inhibitory TRN shell (parvalbumin/somatostatin, GABA-A/B)08:11 Sensory Filtering Risk TRN filters overload; poor filtering in autism risks schizophrenia-like sensory flood10:03 Fast Pathway to Frontal Eye Fields Retina → superior colliculus → pulvinar → mediodorsal thalamus → frontal eye fields; gamma-driven speed in autism12:24 Cortical Links Superior colliculus connects to V1-V5, somatosensory, sensory-motor cortex; delayed feedback in autism15:05 Basal Ganglia Role Superior colliculus → substantia nigra reticulata & globus pallidus interna; fast outputs, delayed feedback affects saccades17:37 Mesencephalon Core Functions Sensory integration (via thalamus/cerebellum); motor control (basal ganglia); external attention orientation20:08 Brain Waves in Autism Autism: high gamma dominance vs. typical alpha/beta; theta-gamma coupling for task switching often overwhelmed21:14 Midbrain Evolutionary Note Mesencephalon (functional core) not anatomically middle; later cortex can interfere with its precise roles.X: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

This is an audio version of a white broad series covering inhibition/thalamic reticular nucleus. See the video to follow along.This episode provides a detailed exploration of the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN), the inhibitory "shell" surrounding the thalamus that acts as a sensory gate in the brain. Drawing on prior episodes, it explains how abnormalities in TRN development—linked to factors like Sonic Hedgehog signaling knockouts, reduced parvalbumin interneurons, and genes such as CNTNAP2—contribute to the excitation-inhibition imbalance central to autism. The TRN regulates sensory input access (visual, auditory, somatosensory), attention modulation, sleep-wake cycles, and overload protection; in autism, its dysfunction leads to sensory overload, hyperactivity, repetitive behaviors, and social challenges, while offering strengths like accelerated learning, intense focus, and enhanced visual thinking due to heightened inner-directed processing.83: Thalamic Reticular Nucleus (TRN), Sensory Gating & Autism https://youtu.be/cjwbog7Rk4c?si=R3Nq3Hs5A0M_7Vts 82: Sonic Hedgehog & Inhibitory Neurons in Autism https://youtu.be/Oee4L7Vsj4E?si=rG2T8R9AIYAnDBw7 76: Parvalbumin Interneurons & the Autistic Phenotype https://youtu.be/PBHVssvoQkM?si=saFvjVx9Bjq610pk Also see the Visual Thinking episodes, but White Broad Series coming to cover those in more detail.Daylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off at https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismChroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autismFig Tree Christian Golf Apparel & Accessories, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://figtreegolf.com/?ref=autismCognity AI for Autistic Social Skills, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://thecognity.com00:00 Introduction, Episode Recap, TRN Overview02:45 TRN Anatomy Drawing, Thalamus Structure and Shell05:18 Sonic Hedgehog Role, Knockout Models in Development10:48 Cell Types in TRN, Parvalbumin vs Somatostatin Functions15:19 TRN Sectors, Sensory Inputs (Visual/Auditory/Somatosensory) Access20:37 Cortical Connections, Layer 6 Feedback and Crosstalk25:04 Mini-Columns Recap, Thalamus to Layer 4 Processing29:56 Prefrontal Cortex Mapping, Adaptive Responses Role34:22 TRN Functions: Attention Modulation, Sleep-Wake Regulation36:22 CNTNAP2 Discussion, Knockout Phenotypes (Hyperactivity, Seizures)38:45 Strengths/Weaknesses: Accelerated Learning, Visual Thinking Benefits42:18 Overload Protection, Hyperactivity, Social/Repetitive Challenges46:30 Conclusion, Autism as "Self," Inner-Directed ProcessingX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

As the Managed Service Provider (MSP) landscape shifts vastly, service providers must fundamentally differentiate their offerings and value proposition to remain competitive. This imperative means a necessary expansion into robust security services, addressing a growing and critical concern for businesses ranging from Small to Medium Businesses (SMBs) right up to the enterprise level. Companies like Cisco and Microsoft are leading this transformation. They are not only ensuring security is built natively into their core platforms, but are also heavily invested in educating MSPs. This education emphasizes adopting a security-first mindset, adhering to industry best practices, and strategically integrating advanced security measures into their service delivery models. In this podcast, TRN senior editor Moshe Beauford explores this pivotal notion. He lays out his thoughts on how MSPs can successfully adapt to the swiftly evolving security landscape. This adaptation mirrors the historical transformation of traditional resellers into Value Added Resellers (VARs)—a shift that requires MSPs to add continuous, high-value security expertise and services to their portfolio.

Today's episode examines the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN), a GABAergic structure that filters sensory inputs to the thalamus, influencing sensory processing and attention in Autism. We'll explore how TRN dysfunction contributes to sensory hypersensitivity, repetitive behaviors, and cognitive strengths like visual thinking. We cover the TRN's visual, somatosensory, auditory, and limbic sectors, using vivid analogies like a security guard and staring contest to illustrate its role. These mechanisms are linked to the Autistic phenotype's challenges and unique perceptual abilities.Daylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off athttps://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismChroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount athttps://getchroma.co/?ref=autismuse "autism" for 10% discount at Fig Tree Christian Golf Apparel & Accessories https://figtreegolf.com/?ref=autismCognity AI for Autistic Social Skills, use "autism" for 10% discount athttps://thecognity.com00:00 Thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN), GABAergic neurons, sensory gating03:42 TRN functional roles, sensory gating, attentional modulation, brainwave generation, neuro-overload prevention07:44 TRN inputs, basal ganglia, repetitive behaviors11:15 Cognitive flexibility, prefrontal cortex, dorsal striatum, rigid responses, Autistic rigidity14:38 TRN outputs, feedback inhibition, excitatory neurons, sensory tuning, gamma oscillations18:35 Burst firing, tonic firing, sensory suppression, attention regulation, sleep spindles22:12 Visual sector, "staring contest" analogy, parvalbumin & VIP interneurons, lateral geniculate nucleus, visual gating25:50 Somatosensory sector, ventral basal complex, tactile hypersensitivity, sensory-emotional integration29:15 Auditory sector, medial geniculate nucleus, auditory sensitivity, social processing deficits, clusters of noises in the environment, Beatles song comparison33:00 Limbic sector, mediodorsal nucleus, anterior insula, emotional regulation, OCD-like behaviors, Leading the way in Adaptive Responses36:47 TRN security guard analogy, sensory control, thoughts and plans, high-intensity stimuli40:20 Visual attention, high gamma activity, subtle environmental cues, Autistic cognitive strengths41:06 Daylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 discount43:25 Chroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discountX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

**Producer's note.  As listeners know, this summer Red Media was proud to organize a book tour celebrating the publication of John Redhouse's book, Bordertown Clashes, Resource Wars, and Contested Territories in the Four Corners: The Turbulent 1970s. As part of the tour, TRN comrades recorded a bonus episode for patrons to reflect on the tour and what they learned from John in person. Unfortunately, in the tumult of the summer, I completely forgot to work on the episode! My apologies to you all and the TRN comrades who recorded it. I decided to unlock the episode and put it on the free feed. I hope you enjoy it; it's a fantastic conversation.** TRN Comrades got together shortly after the end of the John Redhouse book tour to discuss their experiences. Don't forget to check out the earlier episodes documenting various events of the tour and also get the book from Common Notions!

We recently replayed an episode from 2017 called, "Sh!t You Don't Do on the Trail" with Tim Twietmeyer and Bob Crowley.   We had so much fun walking down memory lane, we thought we should update it for 2024.  Since we are near the start of Western States 100, we thought we'd skew it towards this race, but many of the principles mentioned are applicable wherever you are running.  And of course, it wouldn't be in TRN style without gamifying the episode :). So Bob and Tim used descriptive but cryptic titles for each topic.  We have to guess what they are referring to.  We hope you have fun playing along. Tim Twietmeyer is Vice President of the Western States Endurance Run Board and board member since 1996.  He is also the only person to finish the race 25 times....all under 24 hours!  Oh.....and he won the race FIVE times! Bob Crowley is a past president of ITRA, the International Trail Running Association, and a seasoned runner with notable finishes of over 80 ultras including 2019's Tor des Geants and the 2023 Tahoe 200 mile race. Both are members of History Expeditions, where they take their passion for history and bring it to life through expeditions that combine historical research and adventure.  So far they have completed four expeditions.  You can find out more at historyexp.org.
