In our increasingly digital world, how do we protect ourselves from growing cyber threats? In this episode of In Good Company, Nicolai Tangen welcomes Nikesh Arora, CEO of Palo Alto Networks, to explore the fast-changing world of cybersecurity. As our homes, cars, and cities become increasingly connected, the opportunities for hackers grow—from targeting individuals to attacking critical infrastructure. They discuss who the "bad actors" really are, how AI is transforming both attacks and defenses, and why future conflicts will likely play out in both digital and physical battlefields. Nikesh also shares his journey from Google and SoftBank to leading a cybersecurity giant, and his approach to spotting tech trends early. Tune in!

Are our drinking habits changing? In this episode, Nicolai Tangen sits down with Debra Crew, CEO of Diageo, to explore the shifting landscape of the spirits industry.

Debra shares insights into Diageo’s world-renowned brands, from Guinness and Johnnie Walker to Smirnoff and Don Julio, and explains how the company stays ahead of trends by closely studying consumer behavior across the globe. The conversation also covers Diageo's cultural evolution from a pursuit of perfection to embracing a "fail fast and learn" mindset.
