Keeping Security Simple with Johanna Baum, the CEO and Founder of S3 (Strategic Security Solutions)
December 02, 2021 08:00 - 41 minutes - 38 MBThere is a lot of conversation among IT security leaders about engaging the workforce in order to mitigate threats. But how do security professionals actually win people over to their side? Many employees are willing to comply but what can be done to really get through to those that are resistant? Johanna Baum, the CEO and Founder of S3 (Strategic Security Solutions), contends that to enact change, leaders must involve those that are most reluctant to go along with security protocols — espec...
Time Plus Data Equals Efficiency with Paul Dix, the Co-founder and CTO of Influx Data and the Creator of InfluxDB
November 30, 2021 08:00 - 36 minutes - 34.1 MBIf the topic of databases is brought up to certain people, their eyes may gloss over. But if that happened, that would be because they just don’t know the awesome power of databases. Data can be valuable but only if it is contextualized, and time is an extremely relevant aspect to consider when analyzing huge amounts of data. Paul Dix, the founder and CTO of InfluxData and the Creator of InfluxDB, explains how a time series database can help provide that temporal contextual information to pr...
Time Plus Data Equals Efficiency with Paul Dix, the Founder and CTO of InfluxData and the Creator of InfluxDB
November 30, 2021 08:00 - 36 minutes - 33.5 MBIf the topic of databases is brought up to certain people, their eyes may gloss over. But if that happened, that would be because they just don’t know the awesome power of databases.

Building a Machine to Eliminate Pathogens with Neil Day, CTO, R-Zero
November 25, 2021 08:00 - 42 minutes - 39.5 MBHuman beings have an ability to tolerate quite a bit. Oftentimes, this is a helpful survival strategy. Rather than being overwhelmed by life’s frailties to the point flight or fight is kicking in, it’s generally a good thing to accept the realities of existence that cannot be changed and then operate accordingly on that basis. This is better than being constantly unnerved by real and sometimes alarming things that it seems one cannot control. But sometimes a huge disruption lets people know ...
Companies are Playing in the Digital First Inning with Rich Nanda, US Monitor Deloitte Practice Leader, Deloitte Consulting
November 23, 2021 08:00 - 40 minutes - 37.6 MBWith so much change happening at such a fast pace, the digital transformation process can feel like it must be extremely far along and, perhaps, near completion. Companies have been moving as speedily as possible to adapt their businesses to the digital realm and, in many cases, to create new digital territories altogether. If digital transformation was a baseball game, it could be easy to assume that the transition is in the latter innings. Rich Nanda, the US Monitor Deloitte Practice Leade...
Creating a Place for Ethical Debate with Elizabeth Bramson-Boudreau, the CEO & Publisher of the MIT Technology Review
November 18, 2021 08:00 - 46 minutes - 42.6 MBTechnology can no longer be isolated from the rest of life and only discussed in particular circles among scholars, professionals, or those that just like to geek out on tech. This is because the innovation is too rapid, the tools are too powerful, and the stakes are too high. Elizabeth Bramson-Boudreau, the CEO & Publisher of the MIT Technology Review, explains that people must consider how technology is impacting their lives and suggests journalists need to play a role in framing these con...
Outsiders Make the World Move with Rory San Miguel, CEO of Propeller Aero
November 16, 2021 08:00 - 40 minutes - 37.9 MBThere’s a general tendency for people to desire to fit in — to want to be on the inside of systems and institutions. The drive to be in the in-crowd or on the team is so embedded in the socialization process that the idea of being an outsider often becomes associated with something undesirable. But many times people who come into a situation with an outsider perspective see things more clearly and can come up with alternative solutions to problems. That was the case for Rory San Miguel, the ...
Democratizing the Crypto Economy with Manish Gupta, EVP of Engineering at Coinbase
November 11, 2021 08:00 - 46 minutes - 43.3 MBThere’s an obvious tension in the crypto world between decentralization and centralization. Of course, Bitcoin was a reaction against the power of the entrenched banking systems and a move toward individual economic empowerment. The essential element of blockchain technology is a distributed ledger, so it’s a reasonable desire for those who care about the technology to want the scale tipped toward decentralization. It’s also undeniable that some centralization often proves useful with scalin...
Creating Super Call Center Agents with Umesh Sachdev, Co-founder and CEO of Uniphore
November 09, 2021 08:00 - 40 minutes - 38 MBDisruption is a word that gets thrown around a lot in business. It’s curious because most people don’t want their day to day to be disrupted in regular life. People don’t just casually offer up the phrase, “I can’t wait for some disruption today.” But that’s why it’s absolutely necessary. It helps to change things up and see the world differently. Umesh Sachdev, the Co-founder and CEO of Uniphore, explains how he first realized the call center industry was ready for an evolution. Main Takea...
Powerful Communication Across the Company with Eric Carrasquilla, SVP and GM of Digital Engagement Solutions at CSG, and Tim Vanderham, Chief Technology Officer and SVP of Software at NCR Corporation
November 04, 2021 07:00 - 50 minutes - 47.1 MBIn business, there can be a tendency to label, categorize, and then make corresponding assumptions. This is very reasonable. In order to organize, it’s necessary. One less than ideal aspect of this mentality is that certain responsibilities may be assumed to be mostly relevant to only one title, team, or department. With that sort of thinking, the concept of communication tends to be more associated with marketing or sales. But the need to communicate well cuts across every area of a company...
Telling the Innovation Story with Dr. Sokwoo Rhee, Corporate SVP at LG Electronics, Head of North America Innovation Center ("LG Nova")
November 02, 2021 07:00 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MBStorytelling defines how we see ourselves in the world. Telling the story of one’s own life can be empowering or disempowering, depending on the story a person tells. This is true for companies too. The story of a company’s work can be told in a limited or an expansive way. The difficulty is that not only does the company tell its story, their audience — consumers, media, and even other companies — all help tell the story too. For a legacy company, that story can calcify until an effort is m...
Working Toward Company Alignment with Cal Henderson, Slack Co-founder and CTO, and Genevieve Weber, Salesforce Platform, SVP and COO
October 28, 2021 07:00 - 52 minutes - 48.1 MBThere’s a whole new manner of interacting at work now, especially with the rise in remote and hybrid workflows. The digital transformation was already well under way and then, if the transition was a campfire, the pandemic poured lighter fluid on it. Fortunately, lots of companies responded by making s’mores rather than getting burned, and utilized the technological tools that were already developed to help. Main Takeaways Organizational Alignment: The pace of technological change is breat...
Rolling with Change as API has its Moment, with Joshua Scott, Head of IT and Security for Postman
October 26, 2021 07:00 - 35 minutes - 33.3 MBIt’s easy to feel unmoored in a fast-changing world with such choppy waves. With so much change, there’s a natural tendency to want to drop the anchor in the nearest calm waters and remain there, hoping this approach will be the most secure. But the water’s never really placid. There are extremely strong currents beneath the surface. Even the most gigantic anchor won’t be able to keep the ship from moving. It’ll just slow it down a little, and, maybe, even pull the vessel apart no matter the...
How to Overcome the Cyber Attack Tsunami, Strategize and Disrupt, with Attivo Network’s Carolyn Crandall
October 21, 2021 07:00 - 42 minutes - 39.5 MBThreats are not new to business. Whenever there has been a plentiful economic prize, there have also been pirates. In the swashbuckling days, the captain and the crew were charged with protecting the merchandise on board. The difference today is the sheer volume of cyber attacks inbound to companies. Carolyn Crandall, the Chief Security Advocate and CMO at Attivo Networks, describes the attack as an enormous wave. Main Takeaways A Security Threat Tsunami: Cyber attacks are like giant perpe...
Bringing Order by Living in the Middle of the Cloud Chaos with Dave Frampton, VP/GM Cloud SIEM & Security Analytics at Sumo Logic
October 19, 2021 07:00 - 47 minutes - 44 MBFreedom is not something to fear; in fact, it’s an essential component of creativity. Chaos is something to avoid, however. Many creative people confuse freedom with chaos and think a chaotic environment inspires creative passion. The most creative environments are those that provide enough order, and essential security, that allows individuals to stretch out to create something new. As security information management has evolved with the cloud, a new form of defense has been required. Dave ...
The Power of Observation and Function Versus Beauty with Michael Peachey, VP of User Experience at RingCentral
October 14, 2021 07:00 - 44 minutes - 40.7 MBEven when trying really hard to please people, it’s difficult. Most people don’t know exactly what they want. And when they do know, they often don’t know how to articulate it. In our personal lives, this can be frustrating, for sure. In the professional world, it can be crippling for a company if they don’t have a pulse on their customers’ wants; but, even more importantly, their needs. Michael Peachey, the VP of User Experience at RingCentral, suggests the best practice for understanding ...
The Power of Passion to Develop Technology with Idit Levine, Founder and CEO, Solo.io
October 12, 2021 07:00 - 40 minutes - 37.3 MBCertain types of technology are easier to understand for some people than for others, and that’s okay. Passion is contagious; iIt attracts employees and customers. Strong, passionate leadership with clear vision increases employee satisfaction that then translates to satisfied customers. Developers who make products that build and maintain infrastructure toil to solve problems so their customers can pursue their own desires. Idit Levine, the Founder and CEO of Solo.io, shares her zeal for he...
Making Magic by Integrating the Digital and Physical Worlds with Peggy Johnson, CEO of Magic Leap
October 07, 2021 07:00 - 43 minutes - 40.5 MBWhen a new technology with tremendous potential rolls out, expectations are sky high. It’s going to be a magical technology that changes the world, right? If it doesn't take off immediately with consumers, there can be a tendency to overreact, be let down, give up, and move on to the next new thing that’s supposed to change the world. But what if the technology is augmented reality and it does, truly, change the way people see the world? Even though everyone isn’t walking around every second...
Create Structures to Free Employees to be Their Best, with Preeti Somal, VP of Engineering at HashiCorp, and Mark Thiele, CEO and Founder of Edgewana
October 05, 2021 07:00 - 49 minutes - 46.1 MBThe world has changed; work has too. Many people are reassessing both their personal and professional lives. The truth is that the personal and professional worlds have always been intertwined. People never left their humanity outside the front door of the office. Now, due to the increase in remote work, there may not even be a physical office. And the integration of personal and professional life is more obvious today than ever before. Work is being done at home, but so is taking care of th...
The Importance of Having Fun Technology with Dieter Shirley, Co-creator of CryptoKitties and CTO and Lead Architect of Dapper Labs
September 30, 2021 07:00 - 53 minutes - 49.4 MBA lot of times people look at someone who changes the world and think that person must have known exactly what they were doing right from the very beginning. A lot of times, people are dead wrong. Creating comes from a place of not knowing exactly what comes next, and being willing to try to make something new anyway. Sure, trying something new takes courage; but, it’s more about being willing to try things and not be concerned with the outcome. Also, in reality, individuals don’t change cul...
Creating a Team of Problem Solvers with Epicor’s Himanshu Palsule
September 28, 2021 07:00 - 46 minutes - 43.3 MBIn the sport’s world, some teams have all the talent they need to win championships, but, oftentimes they can’t seem to put it all together to be the last team standing at the end of the season. On the other hand, there have been moments when the most unlikely teams come together to shock the world. But when you look back, their success is not so surprising. It’s simply that their culture, their togetherness, was underrated. Championship teams don’t just appear; instead they are built. Compa...
Infrastructure Lays the Foundation for Developer Artistry with Tony Minessale, Founder and CEO of SignalWire
September 23, 2021 07:00 - 34 minutes - 32.1 MBIn general, creative-types fall into two camps. The first camp loves the excitement of creating something flashy — things that people can identify, experience, and viscerally respond to. The second camp is made up of those who care about building a foundation so that other people can create great things upon it. If they do their jobs really well, their work may go relatively unnoticed. But that’s okay with them. They can sit back and smile, knowing they helped other creators do their best wo...
From Different Leadership Vantage Points: Data Drives Value but is Driven by Values
September 21, 2021 07:00 - 51 minutes - 47.9 MBOne way to think about data is that it is like rain, and it is pouring outside. Imagine c-suite executives running around in a parking lot with huge buckets trying to capture as much as they can. Afterward, they return to the office, analyze the data, and then decide what to do based upon their discoveries. But in this example, it’s not about how many buckets you come back with, it’s what’s in the buckets that matters most. Data is interpreted based upon a person’s values. In fact, certain ...
The New Rituals of Work: Design Leads the Way
September 16, 2021 07:00 - 45 minutes - 42.2 MBDespite so many technological advances, the way people worked stayed fairly static for many years. Work has now changed suddenly; there is no doubt about that. Where work was mostly in person, now a lot of work is remote or in a hybrid model. Nobody wanted this change to happen in this way — by being forced to quickly adjust due to a global health crisis. It’s like the whole working world collectively face-planted. No one asks to fall. But with any fall, there is an opportunity to reassess, ...
Getting Our Health Together: How to Connect Tech and Humanity
September 14, 2021 07:00 - 52 minutes - 48.6 MBSome people are super health conscious, with their days driven by early-morning trips to the gym and kale smoothies. Others try their very best to avoid thinking about anything health-related at all, pushing thoughts of vegetables or long walks right out of their minds. Regardless of which camp you fall in, your overall health is important and your medical history is critical data. So why is it so difficult to get access to important health information for ourselves and those we love? Is the...
Communication is Key: A.I. and Humans Speaking in Prose
September 09, 2021 07:00 - 36 minutes - 34.1 MBWe talk to our computer by asking it a question and then the computer talks back, trying its best to answer it. At least that’s how the conversation generally happens between humans and A.I. Sometimes we’re happy with the computer’s answer and other times, not so much, and we either try again until we’re successful or give up. But real learning takes place with true dialogue, when there are successive exchanges that deepen understanding and where either a person or a computer can start the c...
Breaking the Data Bottleneck
September 07, 2021 08:00 - 42 minutes - 39 MBEach day, we’re coming into contact more and more with artificial intelligence and machine learning that is meant to make our lives better. We’ve all had some A.I. experiences that have gone really well. Perhaps, we didn’t even realize A.I. was helping us at first. On the other hand, getting help from A.I. doesn’t always work out perfectly, at least not right away. So why the inconsistency? If the human mind can take in so much complex information and make sense of it, why can’t our computer...
Using A.I. to Assure Identity and Privacy in the Digital Age
September 02, 2021 07:00 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MBIt used to be the case that we mostly proved our identity by offering up a piece of paper. Perhaps that seems silly now — at least a little. In the digital age, that is definitely no longer the situation — and for good reason. Right now, we have difficulties of our own. Today, our digital information seems like it is everywhere and available for anyone to access, whether they are well intentioned or not. Because there is so much information, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to prove who ...
Aggregation at the Edge: Beyond the Decentralized Versus Centralized Debate
August 31, 2021 07:00 - 33 minutes - 31.5 MBMany times we think about ideas in terms of debate — that there are only two ideas that are oppositional in nature and that one is superior to the other. This is true right now in the network conversation concerning an industry push toward either decentralized edge computing or more centralized network systems. What if, as is often the case, there is another way to think about duality where a unity lies somewhere in between? Raj Yavatkar, CTO of Juniper Networks, believes that to be the situ...
Breaking Boundaries to Fund A Better Future with Calibrate Ventures’ Kevin Dunlap
August 26, 2021 07:00 - 43 minutes - 40.6 MBEvery solution starts with an idea. Consumers needed more home security, so the founders of Ring came up with the smart doorbell. Home owners had trouble finding time to complete recurring tasks like vacuuming, so Roomba automated the vacuum. But despite those great ideas, every founder needs some help along the way. Or more specifically, they often need financial backing to scale a business, and they need someone to believe in them when others won’t. “We often joke that our best investmen...
The Privacy Paradox: How Digital IDs are Empowering Consumers to Take Control of their Digital Existence
August 24, 2021 07:00 - 43 minutes - 40 MBStanding in line at an airport is a bad experience. Shuffling through your wallet once you reach the front of that line only to realize you don’t have your driver’s license, that’s a worse experience. From boarding airplanes to purchasing alcohol, the technology that enables digital driver’s licenses already exists, but with adoption levels still so slow, the question is what’s the hold up? “I always liken it to chess and checkers — checkers, super easy to play. And giving access to people ...
Delivering Personalized Needs-Based Learning at Scale with EnGen’s Dr. Katie Nielson
August 19, 2021 07:00 - 37 minutes - 34.7 MBThe way we learn is no longer unilateral. So why act as if still one teacher, standing in front of a group of students lecturing them on a particular subject is the best way for them to learn a second language? Instead of teaching simple words or phrases such as bike, or car, what if the focus was on developing the skills that actually help people advance their careers? “The old way of teaching, where you teach the same thing to everybody — teacher in front of the room, using a textbook th...
Core Strength: How LogicSource is Building Better Profit Margins Through Software, Data, and Insights
August 17, 2021 07:00 - 35 minutes - 33 MBCompanies are built off profitability. The investments you make are designed to support the products or services you sell. But let's be honest for a moment, you like buying the things that are core to your business because that’s what you care about. The secondary expenses that occur, those are less fun. Whether you’re dealing in electronics, retail, mortgages, or hamburgers, inevitably there are expenses that arise that don’t support your product. So how do you cut down on those expenses? A...
How NCR is Creating a Passive, Frictionless, Buying Experience with Tim Vanderham
August 12, 2021 04:00 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MBThere are 750 million transactions processed every day. Let that number sink in… Across ATMs, self-checkout machines, and online payments, NCR — through both hardware and software infrastructure — is helping you checkout faster. We already have tap-to-pay credit cards and payments-synced watches. So is there a way for transactions to actually get more seamless? And can creating that more effortless experience actually save you money?? Tim Vanderham, CTO and SVP at NCR, said it’s not that unr...
Leading through Change: Why Every Digital Transformation Doesn’t Include the Tech Stack
August 10, 2021 07:00 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MBLet’s think about this for a second — what is more important: the pace at which a business must change its technology in order to keep up with its competitors or the culture that makes the whole thing flow efficiently? It’s an interesting conundrum, and one that Gautham Pallapa, Senior Executive Advisor at VMware thinks about often. “I look at things through the lens of culture, organization and people and processes first, because it's very easy to bring in the right technology. Technology ...
Building the Better, More Scalable Algorithms with SigOpt’s Scott Clark
August 05, 2021 07:00 - 35 minutes - 33.1 MBAn A.I. the model is similar to a boat in that it needs constant maintenance to perform. The reality is A.I. models need adjusted boundaries and guidelines to remain efficient. And when you live in a world where everyone is trying to get bigger and faster and have a certain edge, Scott Clark is helping make that possible with his finely-tuned A.I. modeling techniques. “As you're building up these rules and constructs for how that system will even learn itself, there's a lot of parameters ...
Using AI to Create a World without Waste
August 03, 2021 08:00 - 42 minutes - 39.6 MBEvery day we make a choice — to recycle, to compost, or to simply discard an item. But regardless of what decision the consumer makes, corporations are one of the biggest contributors to environmental damage. “Recycling and composting and all that stuff. It's great, but it's not where the real problem is, the real problem is the way we make things and move things around. It's the factories, and supply chains. If you want to reduce waste in the world, that's where you target.” Reducing was...
The State of Security with Salesforce's Taher Elgamal and TAG Cyber’s Ed Amoroso
July 29, 2021 07:00 - 40 minutes - 37.1 MBToo lucrative, too easy, and not enough investment. In the simplest terms possible, that is how you could describe the current state of cybersecurity. Over the last month, we’ve heard from some of the top minds in the industry, and a general consensus is that despite the innovations and optimism in the world of cybersecurity, those three issues remain at the heart of the problem. “There's more tools available. There is more research. The hacking communities are actually businesses. They e...
Software is King, but Hardware is Still an Integral Tool with Future of Tech Enterprise, Bob Venero
July 27, 2021 07:00 - 42 minutes - 39.6 MBThe work from home shift has revolutionized IT Departments more than any invention ever could. When closets became offices, and commutes morphed into strolls around the neighborhood, corporate IT was left scrambling. Many companies were ill prepared to support remote workers and this shift exposed security vulnerabilities. “The level that this pandemic made everybody go right at home, immediately created tons of risk around how you're going to support traditional security. That was out t...
Built for Innovation: How Google’s Office of the CTO is Redefining Collaboration
July 22, 2021 07:00 - 52 minutes - 48 MBThe biggest innovations don’t always occur where you expect. Canon and Nikon didn’t invent the go-everywhere camera known as GoPro. It was a surfer who wanted to film his friends. Automakers didn’t believe styling could attract buyers to Electric Vehicles until Tesla defined the industry. The reality is that insights can occur anywhere, and come from anyone, and Will Grannis, Managing Director of Google’s CTO Office, knows that. “The more ambitious [the problem], the more ambiguous, the mor...
Getting the Most Out of the Cloud with PWC’s Jenny Koehler
July 20, 2021 08:00 - 45 minutes - 42.3 MBThe rapid pace of change can be boiled down to one mission critical service: the cloud. But despite widespread adoption and enthusiasm for the cloud’s seemingly endless possibilities, many organizations are still not seeing the payoff from their investments. At least that’s what Jenny Koehler, the US Cloud and Digital Leader at PwC, told us “There's this notion now of how am I going to deliver this thing? So I don't have to wait until the bitter end to get value out there. How do I sequence...
Designing with Intent: A Roundtable Episode with Acxiom’s Beth-Anne Bygum and Target State Consulting’s Anthony McMahon
July 15, 2021 08:00 - 42 minutes - 39.6 MBSecurity is big business, but has the role of securing networks and employees bloated to the point that businesses cannot properly protect themselves? Or is the speed of business moving too fast to care? On a roundtable episode with Beth-Anne Bygum, CISO at Acxiom and Anthony McMahon, CIO/CTO and Principle Consultant for Target State Consultants, the two discussed a host of topics, including if technology was moving too quickly for security measures to matter. “We have to move at the speed ...
Why Data and A.I. is at the Intersection of Sports and Science with Intel’s Jonathan Lee
July 13, 2021 08:00 - 37 minutes - 34.9 MBToday, technology is an integral part of the sports landscape. In fact, it’s become so ingrained in American sports that data and algorithms are part of pretty much every broadcast and in every locker room. Technology is now used to predict win probability, analyze launch angles of home runs, and track shot charts of NBA superstars. But technology isn’t just used to build a better viewing experience. It is also being dropped into the hands of coaches to do things like perfect a runner's str...
Broadcast Television’s Digital Transformation with FOX Corporation West Coast CIO, Garrett Boss
July 08, 2021 07:00 - 41 minutes - 38.7 MBHave you ever tried to upload a video and been frustrated by the time it takes to land on the server? Now imagine you’re a broadcast crew, working the Super Bowl, with hundreds of cameras that all have to upload video simultaneously. Transferring millions of data points, and moving massive files with no latency puts your video upload woes to shame. It’s no easy task, yet it gets done relatively seamlessly every year.

Security by Default, with Cybersecurity Consultant Jenna Waters
July 01, 2021 07:00 - 42 minutes - 39.4 MBCompanies big and small, old and new are trying to get a handle on the best way to secure their data. But the challenge is that there is so much that goes into cybersecurity, it can be overwhelming for a company to oversee it internally...These vast challenges are often shouldered by a couple people in the IT department who are left to defend an entire company against a host of bad actors. “Cyber security is one giant game of whack-a-mole. It is either, you're trying to take out the threat...

Buying and Selling Homes Algorithmically with Opendoor’s VP of Research and Data Science, Kushal Chakrabarti
June 24, 2021 08:00 - 32 minutes - 30 MBFor many people, the process of buying and selling a home will undoubtedly be the most difficult decisions they will make in their lifetime. Is the price you’re paying for your home fair? Is the price you’re selling your home for an adequate sale price? For a long time, realtors have been oracles with the answers to those questions, but times are changing. Today, Opendoor, a data-driven real estate start-up, is putting data to work to answer those questions for you. “Opendoor from a technic...

From Two Sides of the C-Suite: Why All Executives Face Similar Challenges
June 17, 2021 07:00 - 42 minutes - 39.2 MBMuch like a snowflake, no two companies are alike. After all, something has to separate you from your competition — from mission statement, to products and services, to customers, nothing in the marketplace is exactly like the other. But regardless of what industry you serve, more than likely you’re dealing with many of the same issues that your peers are. From all sides of the C-Suite, every executive is dealing with similar obstacles. Maybe that’s designing an infrastructure to support r...
