On this week's show we look at alternatives to YouTube TV for sports fans. We also look at AV Receivers for Home Theater Newbies, Enthusiasts, and Fanatics. And like always, we start with your emails and take a look at the week's news. News; Ikea's new low-cost line is a huge win for Matter and your smart home Middle-Aged Viewers Power YouTube Long-Form Content Paramount+ announces next round of price increases YouTube TV Subscribers Increasingly Irate Over Disney Blackout Other: LINOVISION POE Over Coax EOC Converter LINOVISION EOC Transmitter and Camera Outdoor Universal Mount Box NCIS promo Brady Darvin's first tattoo in honor of Morton Darvin to raise money for Veterans Legal Institute Please support Movember and enter to win great prizes from Bright Side Home Theater Movember Raffle — Bright Side Home Theater Best AV Receivers for Newbies, Enthusiasts, and Fanatics It's getting close to Black Friday and you may want to upgrade your home theater system for the Holidays and you are wondering what AVR should I consider.  Well the HT Guys have done the homework for you.  We breakout our picks in the following three categories: Home Theater Newbie (entry-level, under $600—simple setup, basic features), Home Theater Enthusiast (mid-range, $800–$2,000—balanced performance and expandability), and Home Theater Fanatic (high-end, $3,000+—audiophile-grade power and advanced processing). To simplify we stuck with Denon. Although we have used AVRs from Onkyo, Sony, Marantz, Pioneer, and Yamaha in our theaters, we chose Denon because of their reliability, relative price/performance ratio, and excellent room calibration features.  Category Pick Price Channels Power (W/ch)   Home Theater Newbie Denon AVR-S570BT $449 5.2 70   Home Theater Enthusiast Denon AVR-X3800H $1799 9.4 105   Home Theater Fanatic Denon AVR-A1H $7199 15.4 150   Home Theater Newbie: Denon AVR-S570BT If you're new to home theater or upgrading from a soundbar, this AVR keeps things simple but includes the key features. It supports 5.2 channels for basic surround sound and passes 4K video from your set top box or game consoles. Audyssey auto-calibration checks your room and adjusts the sound for you with minimal intervention by you. Users like its clear, balanced audio in small to medium rooms, so movie soundtracks are improved without complicated setup. The Denon AVR-S570BT has an Amazon rating of 4.3 stars out of 5 by over 1600 users. Home Theater Enthusiast: Denon AVR-X3800H Enthusiasts get a great mix of power and features with the X3800H's 9 amplified channels that include support for 5.2.4 Dolby Atmos. The upgraded Audyssey MultEQ XT32 fine-tunes the sound for your room, making bass and dialogue clearer and more powerful. You will notice an improvement over the Newbie System system in clarity and and it has more features including six HDMI 2.1 ports that support 8K and 4K at 120Hz gaming with VRR and ALLM. HEOS lets you stream music wirelessly from services like Spotify. It's also good for music, with support for high-resolution audio. One small downside: it's bulkier than slimmer models. It's ideal for expanding your system without breaking the bank. The Denon AVR-X3800H has an Amazon rating of 4.4 stars out of 5 by almost a 1000 users. Home Theater Fanatic: Denon AVR-A1H Audiophiles and home theater fans will love this top-of-the-line receiver. It handles up to 15.4 channels (powers 15 at once) for big setups like 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos or Auro-3D. It puts out 150 watts per channel with clean, powerful sound, using high-current amps and ESS Sabre DACs for high-res audio up to 24-bit/192kHz. It includes advanced room calibration with optional Dirac Live or Audyssey, plus IMAX Enhanced for movie-theater quality. All seven HDMI inputs support 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz, and there are analog inputs for turntables. It's overkill for small rooms but will shine in a dedicated theater delivering realistic, immersive sound. Downsides: expensive and uses a lot of power. The Denon AVR-A1H has an Amazon rating of 5 stars out of 5 by 5 users.

Last week, I talked about getting stakeholders actively involved in UX activities like research sessions and workshops. That engagement is brilliant for building empathy and support, but it only takes you so far if everyone retreats back to their own departmental bubble afterward.This week, I want to focus on something that will amplify all that good work: breaking down the silos that keep teams isolated from one another.Why silos are killing your UX effortsIn most organizations, different teams work in their own little worlds. Developers, marketers, product owners, business analysts; they all contribute to and impact the user experience, but they rarely talk to each other beyond handoffs and status updates.This creates two problems for you as a UX leader.First, it causes friction in the user experience itself. When users move from one part of your product or service to another, they're effectively moving between teams. If those teams don't collaborate, users literally fall between the gaps.I've seen this happen over and over. The sales team promises one thing, but another department doesn't deliver it. Or a customer goes through a complaints process and gets a resolution, but that information never reaches finance, who keeps invoicing them anyway. Users get caught in the crossfire of departments that aren't talking to each other.These breakdowns aren't just annoying. They damage trust, create support overhead, and drive customers away. And from a UX perspective, you can have the most beautiful interface in the world, but if the experience breaks down because departments aren't aligned, none of that matters.The second area is much simpler. Your ability to change the culture will be limited by which teams you can access and influence. If you're stuck in one silo, your impact stays trapped there too.The benefits of breaking outWhen you start collaborating across departmental lines, good things happen.You plug the gaps in the user experience. When teams work together, you can identify and fix those places where users fall through the cracks. Sales and delivery get aligned. Support issues get fed back to the teams who can fix them. Information flows across departmental boundaries instead of stopping at them.You gain better business insights. You'll understand how UX affects different parts of the organization and what motivates other teams. That knowledge helps you frame UX in ways that matter to them.You build cross-departmental UX advocacy. When other teams see how UX helps them achieve their goals, they become advocates. That momentum spreads much faster than anything you could do alone.You increase your team's influence. As you collaborate and demonstrate value, you become essential to strategy and decision-making across departments, not just within your own corner.You streamline processes. Collaboration helps you integrate UX into different workflows and ensure those processes work better together. You deliver results faster and remove false assumptions people have about UX being slow or impractical.Which teams to prioritizeYou can't be everywhere at once, especially early on. Focus your energy on four groups that will give you the biggest return.Sales and marketing feel the impact of poor user experience most directly. If you help them improve conversion rates, average order values, or lead quality, you'll be improving the metrics that senior management actually cares about. Everyone wants to make more money, and this is your most direct path to those conversations.Customer support cares deeply about retention. It's much more expensive to win a new customer than keep an existing one, so reducing churn matters. Work with support to identify where UX improvements can reduce complaints and improve retention. They're usually quite receptive because better UX makes their job easier.Development has a huge impact on user experience through performance, security, and technical implementation. They're often frustrated by bottlenecks from design teams, so working with them improves the relationship and streamlines handoffs. You can also empower developers to handle some of the more routine UX work themselves.Business analysts (if your organization has them) evaluate potential projects and opportunities. They understand the importance of user acceptance, but they often don't feel equipped to assess it. If you can help them evaluate projects from a user perspective, you become invaluable to their process.How to start breaking down wallsLook, let me breakdown in what has worked for me.Conduct stakeholder interviews. Book casual chats with representatives from these departments. Ask about their challenges and explore ways your team can support them. This shows genuine interest and positions you as someone looking to help, not looking for help. That's powerful.Offer resources. Provide tools, time, and advice to help them overcome challenges. Give before you ask. It builds trust much faster than any formal presentation ever will.Run exchange programs. Suggest shadowing each other for a day or swapping team members for a week. Yes, it's an investment, but understanding each other's roles transforms how you work together.Collaborate on standards. When you're setting standards for accessibility, content, or research methods, engage other departments in creating them. They'll have valuable input, the standards will work better for everyone, and people are much more likely to follow standards they helped create.Prototype together. Get different people in a room (a developer, a marketer, you) and just create something collaboratively. Free from normal constraints, working toward a shared vision. It's rewarding and it breaks down barriers fast.One more tipIf you possibly can, suggest that your UX team becomes its own center of excellence, independent from any existing business silo. It eliminates the perception that you're only responsible for one area and recognizes that user experience affects every part of the organization.It's not always possible, and if it isn't, don't worry. But it's worth raising the conversation.Next weekSo far in this series, I've focused on building relationships and demonstrating value internally. But sometimes the most powerful way to build credibility inside your organization is to bring in validation from outside.Next week, I'll talk about using external benchmarking, industry recognition, and expert voices to reinforce your position and give your recommendations extra weight. It's a tactic I've used more times than I can count, and it works remarkably well.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training How are you preparing your clients to start thinking about AI as part of their SEO strategy? Are you educating them on what they can expect now that the landscape is changing with AI optimization? As an agency, you should be starting these conversations because you can be sure your clients are already thinking about AI, even if they still don't understand its applications for how clients will get to their content. Artificial intelligence isn't just changing how people find information, it's rewriting the rules of search altogether. Today's featured guest is already running AI audits for his clients; he thinks all agency owners should be doing this. He'll unpack what AI optimization really means for agencies, marketers, and business owners who've lived and breathed SEO for decades. Vishal Mahida is the Director of Digital Marketing at E2M Solutions, where he helps over 100 agencies scale their SEO and digital marketing operations. With a 40+ person team specializing in SEO, PPC, and operations support, Vishal works directly with agencies on systems that drive measurable growth and keep them ahead of major shifts in the industry. In this episode, we'll discuss: SEO vs. AI Optimization No, SEO is not dead, so your website still matters. Preparing your agency and clients for AI search. Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio The Difference Between SEO and AI Optimization There's a lot of buzz around how AI has come to change and maybe even replace SEO. Vishal clarifies that AI optimization isn't replacing SEO, it's expanding it. Traditional SEO focused primarily on optimizing for Google rankings, keywords, and backlinks. The goal was to get traffic from search results. But as Vishal explains, the modern search landscape has fragmented. Users are now searching on multiple platforms including ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude, not just Google. This shift means brands must move beyond "ranking on Google" and focus on being visible wherever their audience searches for information. Whether someone asks ChatGPT for "the best roofers in Austin" or Google's AI mode for "running shoes under $5,000," AI systems are gathering and summarizing information across multiple sources in real time, including social platforms like Reddit, Quora, and LinkedIn. Think about it as building a multimedia visibility strategy and ensuring your brand, expertise, and answers exist across platforms that large language models (LLMs) pull from. "You're not optimizing for one search engine anymore," he says. "You're optimizing for how the internet talks about you." Why Your Website Still Matters in the AI Era Will websites become irrelevant if AI answers everything for users? According to Vishal, websites won't disappear, they'll evolve. Think of them as your source of truth rather than your traffic generator. When AI summarizes answers for users, it still references real content and authoritative sources. So, your website remains essential for credibility, events, and conversion, even if fewer users arrive there through traditional search. For instance, if someone asks ChatGPT about agency growth events in Austin, and you've mentioned your event across social media, your website, and podcasts, AI will likely include it in the results. "That's how people find you now," Vishal agrees. "Not just through search but through signals from every platform." Of course, you should still think about the content you're putting out on your website. Are you answering the questions that people are asking? Or you just optimizing for the keywords. Optimizing for the keywords won't work. People will ask LLMs questions and if you're already answering them on your content there are more chances that AI results will find you and list your website. Redefining Reporting and KPIs for Agencies One of the biggest challenges agencies face is explaining to clients why organic traffic might be dropping even as visibility increases. Why? Traditional SEO metrics no longer tell the whole story. So how to report back? Basically, you'll need to educate clients and start measuring mentions, citations, and referrals coming from AI platforms. Vishal suggests tracking LLM bot hits in server logs and monitoring whether AI crawlers are visiting key pages. These indicators reveal your brand's visibility in AI-generated results. While raw traffic might decline, the quality of leads and conversions often improves. "You might get fewer leads," he says, "but they'll be more qualified, because AI searchers are deeper in their intent." Leads from AI chats tend to be more serious buyers who have already researched their problems. The shift, then, isn't a loss but rather an opportunity to educate clients on new performance indicators that reflect where users actually search today. Preparing Your Agency and Clients for AI Search When it comes to optimizing for AI, Vishal recommends a hybrid approach: combine solid technical SEO fundamentals with a new layer of AI-readiness. This includes making sure your site is clean, crawlable, and structured properly, while also ensuring your brand has visibility across other platforms. At E2M, Vishal's team runs AI search audits to check how often their clients' brands appear in LLM answers. They even query ChatGPT and Perplexity directly to see what those systems say about them and their competitors. From there, they reverse-engineer visibility by identifying which platforms, podcasts, or publications help brands get cited more often by AI. Mentions on Reddit, Quora, and podcasts count, even if they're not linked, because they help build trust signals that LLMs detect. Agencies, Vishal says, can sell these as AI search audits, AI content audits, or full AI optimization packages — new recurring revenue streams that build on their SEO expertise. The Human Edge in an AI-Driven World Agencies can't afford to be "order takers" who wait for clients to bring up AI. If your clients are asking about AI before you bring it up, you're already behind. Instead, agencies should position themselves as trusted advisors who help clients navigate the shift confidently. So go to your clients and start those conversations, or you WILL be replaced by AI. At the end of the day, people still want connection, which is why both Jason and Vishal agree that AI will never replace the human element and the strategy, empathy, and creativity that come from real human connection. People will always want someone that can help guide them through the new marketing trends. As Vishal puts it, "Business owners don't have time to learn all this. They want someone they trust to handle it." AI might make average easier, but connection, data, and network will always be your edge.

Consumers across Ireland and the EU are benefiting from a new energy label on smartphones and tablets, that rates devices on energy efficiency, durability, and repairability. This initiative is part of the new Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Regulations introduced in June 2025, which will empower consumers to make choices that go beyond the price tag. Research shows that consumers consistently rank longevity and reliability of appliances and electronic goods among their top decision factors, alongside price, brand, and warranty. However, until recently, consumers had to rely on their own research to evaluate these factors for smartphones and tablets. The new EU-wide label provides clear, comparable information on how products perform in areas that matter most: Energy efficiency: rated from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) Battery life and endurance: how long your device lasts between charges and over its lifetime Durability: including resistance to drops and protection from dust or water Repairability class: showing how easily devices can be fixed and spare parts accessed The label is now mandatory in-store and online, providing an easy-to-understand guide to help consumers make their purchasing decisions. "These new labels give consumers a clear comparison on key factors when buying a new smart device. Choosing a phone or tablet with better energy efficiency and durability isn't just about fewer charges or a tougher screen. It's about getting more value and creating less waste. Devices that last longer and are easier to repair help consumers save money and are more sustainable", Tim Stokes, Market Surveillance Programme Manager at the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, explained. "Empowering consumers with better information through the new energy label can significantly influence energy use, especially given the vast number of devices in circulation. By choosing longer-lasting, repairable products, individuals help reduce waste, conserve resources, and lower lifecycle energy consumption. When millions make these informed choices, small actions will create major impact. This behavioural shift to more sustainable consumption model supports both national and EU-wide efforts toward a circular economy, where products last longer, cost less over time, and have a reduced environmental footprint", Stokes added. With the new energy label, consumers are better equipped than ever to choose smartphones and tablets that last longer, perform better, and support a more sustainable future.

In this episode, we sit down with Fabian Veit, CEO of Make.com, to talk about what it really takes to scale not just one but two hyperscale SaaS companies - first in a classic enterprise sales-led motion, and now in a PLG + AI/automation world. Fabian shares how Make has 15x'd revenue and grown from ~50 to nearly 400 people, while racing past 100k+ paying customers and aiming for €100M+ ARR, and why that requires a fundamentally different mindset than selling multi-million euro deals into the Fortune 2000. He contrasts the “one deal can make your quarter” reality of enterprise sales with the high-volume, product-first, self-serve motion of Make, where thousands of users sign up every month and the product has to carry the weight. We also dig into what it means to build in the middle of the AI & agentic wave when your platform is literally how people wire AI into their business processes. Fabian explains why most AI projects are actually 80–90% integrations & automation, where AI is the smart layer inside the flow, not the whole show, and how Make is evolving from classic “if-this-then-that” workflows into visual AI agents that power real operations. You'll hear Fabian talk about: PLG vs Sales-Led: What changed when he went from 9–12 month, high-touch enterprise cycles at Celonis to Make's “sign up free, upgrade yourself” engine. Rebuilding While Scaling: Why everything is always breaking in hypergrowth, and how he decides what to fix for 5× future scale, not just today. Brand & Positioning Pivots: The risky shift from Integromat to Make.com, losing SEO in the short term to win a much bigger global brand in the long term. Culture at Hyperspeed: How they keep their values intact with hundreds of new hires through explicit values & operating principles, and a brutal honesty policy inspired by Radical Candor. The AMA Channel: An internal Ask Me Anything Slack channel where anyone can ask leadership anything (even anonymously), and why Fabian believes answering every question publicly is non-negotiable for trust. We wrap up with Fabian's view on where we are in the AI hype cycle, why he compares this moment more to the industrial revolution than just another tech fad, and what kinds of human skills will matter even more in an AI-driven world.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services. Nikita: Hi everyone! In the last episode, we spoke about local area networks and domain name systems. Today, we'll continue our conversation on the fundamentals of networking, covering a variety of important topics.  00:50 Lois: That's right, Niki. And before we close, we'll also touch on the basics of security. Joining us today are two OCI instructors from Oracle University: Sergio Castro and Orlando Gentil. So glad to have you both with us guys. Sergio, with so many users and devices connecting to the internet, how do we make sure everyone can get online? Can you break down what Network Address Translation, or NAT, does to help with this? Sergio: The world population is bigger than 4.3 billion people. That means that if we were to interconnect every single human into the internet, we will not have enough addresses. And not all of us are connected to the internet, but those of us who are, you know that we have more than one device at our disposal. We might have a computer, a laptop, mobile phones, you name it. And all of them need IP addresses. So that's why Network Address Translation exists because it translates your communication from a private IP to a public IP address. That's the main purpose: translate. 02:05 Nikita: Okay, so with NAT handling the IP translation, how do we ensure that the right data reaches the right device within a network? Or to put it differently, what directs external traffic to specific devices inside a network? Sergio: Port forwarding works in a reverse way to Network Address Translation. So, let's assume that this PC here, you want to turn it into a web server. So, people from the outside, customers from the outside of your local area network, will access your PC web server. Let's say that it's an online store. Now all of these devices are using the same public IP address. So how would the traffic be routed specifically to this PC and not to the camera or to the laptop, which is not a web server, or to your IP TV? So, this is where port forwarding comes into play. Basically, whenever it detects a request coming to port, it will route it and forward that request to your PC. It will allow anybody, any external device that wants to access this particular one, this particular web server, for the session to be established. So, it's a permission that you're allowing to this PC and only to this PC. The other devices will still be isolated from that list. That's what port forwarding is. 03:36 Lois: Sergio, let's talk about networking devices. What are some of the key ones, and what role do they play in connecting everything together? Sergio: There's plenty of devices for interconnectivity. These are devices that are different from the actual compute instances, virtual machines, cameras, and IPTV. These are for interconnecting networks. And they have several functionalities. 03:59 Nikita: Yeah, I often hear about a default gateway. Could you explain what that is and why it's essential for a network to function smoothly? Sergio: A gateway is basically where a web browser goes and asks a service from a web server. We have a gateway in the middle that will take us to that web server. So that's basically is the router. A gateway doesn't necessarily have to be a router. It depends on what device you're addressing at a particular configuration. So, a gateway is a connectivity device that connects two different networks. That's basically the functionality.  04:34 Lois: Ok. And when does one use a default gateway? Sergio: When you do not have a specific route that is targeting a specific router. You might have more than one router in your network, connecting to different other local area networks. You might have a route that will take you to local area network B. And then you might have another router that is connecting you to the internet. So, if you don't have a specific route that will take you to local area network B, then it's going to be utilizing the default gateway. It directs data packets to other networks when no specific route is known. In general terms, the default gateway, again, it doesn't have to be a router. It can be any devices. 05:22 Nikita: Could you give us a real-world example, maybe comparing a few of these devices in action, so we can see how they work together in a typical network? Sergio: For example, we have the hub. And the hub operates at the physical layer or layer 1. And then we have the switch. And the switch operates at layer 2. And we also have the router. And the router operates at layer 3. So, what's the big difference between these devices and the layers that they operate in? So, hubs work in the physical layer of the OSI model. And basically, it is for connecting multiple devices and making them act as a single network segment. Now, the switch operates at the data link layer and is basically a repeater, and is used for filtering content by reading the addresses of the source and destination. And these are the MAC addresses that I'm talking about. So, it reads where the packet is coming from and where is it going to at the local area network level. It connects multiple network segments. And each port is connected to a different segment. And the router is used for routing outside of your local area network, performs traffic directing functions on the internet. A data packet is typically forwarded from one router to another through different networks until it reaches its destination node. The switch connects multiple network segments. And each port of the switch is connected to a different segment. And the router performs traffic directing functions on the internet. It takes data from one router to another, and it works at the TCP/IP network layer or internet layer. 07:22 Lois: Sergio, what kind of devices help secure a network from external threats? Sergio: The network firewall is used as a security device that acts as a barrier between a trusted internal network and an untrusted external network, such as the internet. The network firewall is the first line of defense for traffic that passes in and out of your network. The firewall examines traffic to ensure that it meets the security requirements set by your organization, or allowing, or blocking traffic based on set criteria. And the main benefit is that it improves security for access management and network visibility. 08:10 Are you keen to stay ahead in today's fast-paced world? We've got your back!

Head over to mylearn.oracle.com to get started.  08:36 Nikita: Welcome back! Sergio, how do networks manage who can and can't enter based on certain permissions and criteria? Sergio: The access control list is like the gatekeeper into your local area network. Think about the access control list as the visa on your passport, assuming that the country is your local area network. Now, when you have a passport, you might get a visa that allows you to go into a certain country. So the access control list is a list of rules that defines which users, groups, or systems have permissions to access specific resources on your networks.  It is a gatekeeper, that is going to specify who's allowed and who's denied. If you don't have a visa to go into a specific country, then you are denied. Similar here, if you are not part of the rule, if the service that you're trying to access is not part of the rules, then you cannot get in. 09:37 Lois: That's a great analogy, Sergio. Now, let's turn our attention to one of the core elements of network security: authentication and authorization. Orlando, can you explain why authentication and authorization are such crucial aspects of a secure cloud network? Orlando: Security is one of the most critical pillars in modern IT systems. Whether you are running a small web app or managing global infrastructure, every secure system starts by answering two key questions. Who are you, and what are you allowed to do? This is the essence of authentication and authorization. Authentication is the first step in access control. It's how a system verifies that you are who you claim to be. Think of it like showing your driver's license at a security checkpoint. The guard checks your photo and personal details to confirm your identity. In IT systems, the same process happens using one or more of these factors. It will ask you for something you know, like a password. It will ask you for something that you have, like a security token, or it will ask you for something that you are, like a fingerprint. An identity does not refer to just a person. It's any actor, human or not, that interacts with your systems. Users are straightforward, think employees logging into a dashboard. But services and machines are equally important. A backend API may need to read data from a database, or a virtual machine may need to download updates. Treating these non-human identities with the same rigor as human ones helps prevent unauthorized access and improves visibility and security. After confirming your identity, can the system move on to deciding what you're allowed to access? That's where authorization comes in. Once authentication confirms who you are, authorization determines what you are allowed to do. Sticking with the driver's license analogy, you've shown your license and proven your identity, but that doesn't mean that you can drive anything anywhere. Your license class might let you drive a car, not a motorcycle or a truck. It might be valid in your country, but not in others. Similarly, in IT systems, authorization defines what actions you can take and on which resources. This is usually controlled by policies and roles assigned to your identity. It ensures that users or services only get access to the things they are explicitly allowed to interact with. 12:34 Nikita: How can organizations ensure secure access across their systems, especially when managing multiple users and resources?  Orlando: Identity and Access Management governs who can do what in our systems. Individually, authentication verifies identity and authorization grants access. However, managing these processes at scale across countless users and resources becomes a complex challenge. That's where Identity and Access Management, or IAM, comes in. IAM is an overarching framework that centralizes and orchestrates both authentication and authorization, along with other critical functions, to ensure secure and efficient access to resources.  13:23 Lois: And what are the key components and methods that make up a robust IAM system? Orlando: User management, a core component of IAM, provides a centralized Identity Management system for all user accounts and their attributes, ensuring consistency across applications. Key functions include user provisioning and deprovisioning, automating account creation for new users, and timely removal upon departure or role changes. It also covers the full user account lifecycle management, including password policies and account recovery. Lastly, user management often involves directory services integration to unify user information. Access management is about defining access permissions, specifically what actions users can perform and which resources they can access. A common approach is role-based access control, or RBAC, where permissions are assigned to roles and users inherit those permissions by being assigned to roles. For more granular control, policy-based access control allows for rules based on specific attributes. Crucially, access management enforces the principle of least privilege, granting only the minimum necessary access, and supports segregation of duties to prevent conflicts of interest. For authentication, IAM systems support various methods. Single-factor authentication, relying on just one piece of evidence like a password, offers basic security. However, multi-factor authentication significantly boosts security by requiring two or more distinct verification types, such as a password, plus a one-time code. We also have biometric authentication, using unique physical traits and token-based authentication, common for API and web services. 15:33 Lois: Orlando, when it comes to security, it's not just about who can access what, but also about keeping track of it all. How does auditing and reporting maintain compliance? Orlando: Auditing and reporting are essential for security and compliance. This involves tracking user activities, logging all access attempts and permission changes. It's vital for meeting compliance and regulatory requirements, allowing you to generate reports for audits. Auditing also aids in security incident detection by identifying unusual activities and providing data for forensic analysis after an incident. Lastly, it offers performance and usage analytics to help optimize your IAM system.  16:22 Nikita: That was an incredibly informative conversation.

Building B2B analytics and AI tools that people will actually pay for and use is hard. The reality is, your product won't deliver ROI if no one's using it. That's why first principles thinking says you have to solve the usage problem first. In this episode, I'll explain why the key to user adoption is designing with the flow of work—building your solution around the natural workflows of your users to minimize the behavior changes you're asking them to make. When users clearly see the value in your product, it becomes easier to sell and removes many product-related blockers along the way. We'll explore how product design impacts sales, the difference between buyers and users in enterprise contexts, and why challenging the “data/AI-first” mindset is essential. I'll also share practical ways to align features with user needs, reduce friction, and drive long-term adoption and impact. If you're ready to move beyond the dashboard and start building products that truly fit the way people work, this episode is for you.   Highlights/Skip to:  The core argument: why solving for user adoption first helps demonstrate ROI and facilitate sales in B2B analytics and AI products  (1:34) How showing the value to actual end users—not just buyers—makes it easier to sell your product (2:33) Why designing for outcomes instead of outputs (dashboards, etc) leads to better adoption and long-term product value (8:16) How to “see” beyond users' surface-level feature requests and solutions so you can solve for the actual, unspoken need—leading to an indispensable product (10:23) Reframing feature requests as design-actionable problems (12:07)  Solving for unspoken needs vs. customer-requested features and functions (15:51) Why “disruption” is the wrong approach for product development (21:19)   Quotes:  “Customers' tolerance for poorly designed B2B software has decreased significantly over the last decade. People now expect enterprise tools to function as smoothly and intuitively as the consumer apps they use every day.  Clunky software that slows down workflows is no longer acceptable, regardless of the data it provides. If your product frustrates users or requires extra effort to achieve results, adoption will suffer. Even the most powerful AI or analytics engine cannot compensate for a confusing or poorly structured interface. Enterprises now demand experiences that are seamless, efficient, and aligned with real workflows.    This shift means that product design is no longer a secondary consideration; it is critical to commercial success.  Founders and product leaders must prioritize usability, clarity, and delight in every interaction. Software that is difficult to use increases the risk of churn, lengthens sales cycles, and diminishes perceived value. Products must anticipate user needs and deliver solutions that integrate naturally into existing workflows.  The companies that succeed are the ones that treat user experience as a strategic differentiator. Ignoring this trend creates friction, frustration, and missed opportunities for adoption and revenue growth. Design quality is now inseparable from product value and market competitiveness.  The message is clear: if you want your product to be adopted, retain customers, and win in the market, UX must be central to your strategy.” —   “No user really wants to ‘check a dashboard' or use a feature for its own sake. Dashboards, charts, and tables are outputs, not solutions. What users care about is completing their tasks, solving their problems, and achieving meaningful results.  Designing around workflows rather than features ensures your product is indispensable. A workflow-first approach maps your solution to the actual tasks users perform in the real world.  When we understand the jobs users need to accomplish, we can build products that deliver real value and remove friction. Focusing solely on features or data can create bloated products that users ignore or struggle to use.  Outputs are meaningless if they do not fit into the context of a user's work. The key is to translate user needs into actionable workflows and design every element to support those flows.  This approach reduces cognitive load, improves adoption, and ensures the product's ROI is realized. It also allows you to anticipate challenges and design solutions that make workflows smoother, faster, and more efficient.  By centering design on actual tasks rather than arbitrary metrics, your product becomes a tool users can't imagine living without. Workflow-focused design directly ties to measurable outcomes for both end users and buyers. It shifts the conversation from features to value, making adoption, satisfaction, and revenue more predictable.” — “Just because a product is built with AI or powerful data capabilities doesn't mean anyone will adopt it. Long-term value comes from designing solutions that users cannot live without. It's about creating experiences that take people from frustration to satisfaction to delight.  Products must fit into users' natural workflows and improve their performance, efficiency, and outcomes. Buyers' perceived ROI is closely tied to meaningful adoption by end users. If users struggle, churn rises, and financial impact is diminished, regardless of technical sophistication.  Designing for delight ensures that the product becomes a positive force in the user's daily work. It strengthens engagement, reduces friction, and builds customer loyalty.  High-quality UX allows the product to demonstrate value automatically, without constant explanations or hand-holding. Delightful experiences encourage advocacy, referrals, and easier future sales.  The real power of design lies in aligning technical capabilities with human behavior and workflow.  When done correctly, this approach transforms a tool into an indispensable part of the user's job and a demonstrable asset for the business.  Focusing on usability, satisfaction, and delight creates long-term adoption and retention, which is the ultimate measure of product success.” — “Your product should enter the user's work stream like a raft on a river, moving in the same direction as their workflow. Users should not have to fight the current or stop their flow to use your tool.  Introducing friction or requiring users to change their behavior increases risk, even if the product delivers ROI. The more naturally your product aligns with existing workflows, the easier it is to adopt and the more likely it is to be retained.  Products that feel intuitive and effortless become indispensable, reducing conversations about usability during demos. By matching the flow of work, your solution improves satisfaction, accelerates adoption, and enhances perceived value.  Disrupting workflows without careful observation can create new problems, frustrate users, and slow down sales. The goal is to move users from frustration to satisfaction to delight, all while achieving the intended outcomes.  Designing with the flow of work ensures that every feature, interface element, and interaction fits seamlessly into the tasks users already perform. It allows users to focus on value instead of figuring out how to use the product.  This alignment is key to unlocking adoption, retaining customers, and building long-term loyalty.  Products that resist the natural workflow may demonstrate ROI on paper but fail in practice due to friction and low engagement.  Success requires designing a product that supports the user's journey downstream without interruption or extra effort.  When you achieve this, adoption becomes easier, sales conversations smoother, and long-term retention higher.” —

Dive into the science of training intensity with Stacy Sims, who's here to explain why the RPE scale (Rate of Perceived Exertion) is your most reliable metric, and how concepts like "moderate exercise" can be misleading.  You'll learn how to effectively use stress to build fitness and the importance of a foundational base before pursuing maximum-effort workouts KEY TAKEAWAYS: RPE is Key: The Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale is an essential tool for measuring how hard your body is working. A "10 out of 10" effort is when you are physically stopped and "literally can't do anything more" (the "vomit scale"). The Vague "Moderate": "Moderate intensity" is a general guideline for the public, often representing a "gray zone" that may not optimise results for people with a training history. Foundation First: Building a base of fitness is crucial, especially as you age, before engaging in high-intensity work, as pushing too hard too soon can reveal underlying health issues. The Power of Stress: Movement is medicine, and the body requires stress (like high-intensity bursts) to adapt and survive well, pushing it out of its comfortable, algorithmically flat existence. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: Defining the RPE Scale (0-10) for Workouts 4:32 - 6:01 Pacing and Intensity for 4-Minute Intervals 6:01 - 6:53 Clarifying "Moderate Intensity" Exercise 7:06 - 8:05 High-Intensity Training and Health Screening 10:49 - 12:47 VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: Podcast Exclusive Discount on Carol Bike with code ANGELA ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Jan Warmus is the director across Europe at EMCD — one of Europe's fastest-growing crypto super apps with over 400,000 verified users. EMCD is positioning itself as a "Web2.5" bridge, offering fiat ramps, staking, and other retail-friendly crypto services in a highly compliant, accessible format. Why you should listen EMCD is a full-spectrum crypto ecosystem. You'll find their mining pool (one of the top global SHA-256 pools), a multi-currency wallet, a savings-type product called Coinhold, and a peer-to-peer exchange all under one roof. Their wallet claims "no seed phrases, no middlemen," and integrates swaps, mining-earnings transfers, and holdings in one interface. They make a clear play for convenience and control: plug-in your mining hardware, track accruals, deploy earnings into savings with up to ~14 % annualized yield (depending on term and asset) — all via one account. Additionally, their mining arm emphasizes daily payouts, low withdrawal thresholds, and global server infrastructure across Europe, Asia, and North America.  EMCD has partnered with Stabul Finance. STABUL Finance operates as a specialized decentralized exchange focused exclusively on stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets. The platform uses what it calls a "fourth-generation" automated market maker (AMM) that builds upon previous technologies like Uniswap and Curve. The EMCD-STABUL partnership addresses a significant market gap. While non-USD currencies account for over 40% of global forex trading, less than 1% of on-chain volume involves non-USD stablecoins. This partnership gives EMCD's 400,000 KYC-verified users access to efficient stablecoin and commodity swaps through STABUL's platform. For EMCD users, this integration means seamless access to international currencies and tokenized assets without leaving their primary platform. Users earning cryptocurrency through mining can convert to stable assets, earn yield through Coinhold, and eventually spend through the upcoming EMCD Card – creating a complete financial ecosystem. The timing aligns with EMCD's broader expansion plans. The company offers zero percent mining fees through 2025 and is preparing to launch its crypto debit card, which will connect directly to users' USDT balances for spending at any Visa or Mastercard merchant.   Supporting links Stabull Finance EMCD Andy on Twitter  Brave New Coin on Twitter Brave New Coin   If you enjoyed the show please subscribe to the Crypto Conversation and give us a 5-star rating and a positive review in whatever podcast app you are using.

Brian Fabian Crain and Michael Egorov, Curve Finance founder, discuss Curve's origins: solving inefficient DAI/USDC swaps after MakerDAO borrows by creating a DeFi AMM for stablecoins and LSTs. It hit 1M TVL with a bonding curve concentrating liquidity at 1:1, more effective for pegged assets than Uniswap. Features grew to include BTC wrappers, stETH pairs, and crvUSD (a CDP stablecoin with reversible liquidations & a peg-keeper). Governance uses veCRV: Locking CRV grants voting power proportional to lock duration, a mechanism now refined in Yield Basis. Yield Basis solves impermanent loss in volatile pools (e.g., BTC/crvUSD). Users deposit BTC; the protocol borrows crvUSD, pairs it at 2x leverage (50% debt/equity), and uses LP tokens as collateral. This gives 1:1 asset tracking, while fees accrue from auto-rebalancing arbitrage. Simulations show 20%+ APY (may decline as BTC volatility drops) under a $50B TVL cap. It complements Curve by directing veCRV incentives to crvUSD pools, enhancing liquidity, fees, and DAO revenues. Key considerations: manual migrations, deterring forks, and dev support to scale. Topics Discussed 00:00 Introduction to Curve Finance and YieldBases 02:24 Understanding Curve's Unique Mechanisms 07:58 The Concept of veTokenomics 15:27 Lessons Learned from Building Curve 22:20 Exploring YieldBasis and Its Innovations 29:47 Understanding Yield Basis and Collateralization 32:25 Navigating Market Volatility and Liquidation Events 35:32 Metrics and Performance Insights of Yield Basis 38:35 Scaling Yield Basis: Future Directions 40:33 Yield Expectations and Market Dynamics 43:12 Potential Growth and Liquidity Challenges 46:18 Expanding to Other Chains and Governance Tokens 49:35 The Symbiotic Relationship with Curve 54:31 Upcoming Milestones and Future Developments Links Mentioned Michael Egorov on X Curve Finance Yield Basis Gnosis Epicenter - All Episodes SponsorsGnosis: Building decentralized infrastructure since 2015.

Forget expensive biohacks and longevity gadgets; the real secret to anti-aging starts with getting you from “fine” to extraordinary through the basics that most doctors never discuss. Dr. Vonda Wright challenges the entire medical paradigm by treating patients as whole people rather than collections of body parts, revealing how a 46-year-old woman's frozen shoulder is actually a warning sign of perimenopause, inflammation, and systemic hormone depletion that conventional orthopaedics completely misses.

Misinformation is a growing problem, with most Americans worried about the reliability of online information. Dan Nottingham created Mi Credible.ai to help people navigate this landscape by providing a credibility score for statements. The tool uses multiple AI models to objectively analyze sources, offering a numerical score and an explanation so users can assess the accuracy of their content before sharing it. This approach helps reduce bias, promotes informed communication, and gives businesses and individuals a measurable way to maintain trust and credibility online. Mi Credible.ai can be used for business, social, and casual purposes, from validating marketing content to settling debates among friends. Users can input any statement to check its accuracy and receive a clear score, making credibility a key performance indicator. Nottingham envisions a future in which AI tools like this serve as impartial editors, helping people navigate misinformation with confidence. The platform is currently browser-based, with mobile apps in development, and encourages users to try it themselves to see how it can improve communication and decision-making. Quotes: “Everyone is a publisher, but not everyone is an editor. That's where credibility tools come in.” “Credibility shouldn't be a buzzword; it should be a KPI for your business.” “It's not enough to be right—you have to persuade.” Resources: Connect with Dan Nottingham on LinkedIn Credibility starts with you
