Introduction

Let me ask you a question...

Do you think information is boring?

I mean… it is kind of boring when you first think about it.

Who wants to take information our for dinner?

Or meet information for a beer?    

No One. That’s who.

But here’s the thing... information is vitally important to our companies.

We might not like it. Or think it’s sexy.

But when we can’t get our hands on the information we need…

Or when people try to hack into our business... and do bad things to our information…

We suddenly have a whole new appreciation for it.

We suddenly realise how important that information is to our business.

And if we're honest with ourselves…

We’d probably admit….

That we don’t spend enough time thinking about how we manage information.

If we did…

We might do a better job of keep companies our secure and also improve the performance of our business…

Now, to help you get a grip on this important topic...

I’ve invited an expert in the subject on to today’s show…

Today, I’m joined by Ciaran Kenny, Security Lead at Macnamara ICT.  

Ciaran is a top level authority on information management and security… 

and I know that you will benefit from listening to his ideas.

In today's episode, we'll look at

• The IT couch… where and why your information is getting lost
• How the old approach to IT is leaving companies vulnerable to the bad guys
• How to get to grips with the information inf your business
• Plus, actionable steps that you can take

"If you are 'normal', you're not powerful."

Why should you care?

2) powerful leaders (and their brands) get more attention from the people they need.

In today's episode, we're look at why (and how) leaders and brands can embrace their uniqueness.

PROBLEM #1  

2 million people aged 55+ have left the work market since the pandemic. This age group been disproportionately affected by job cuts and redundancies, and are not finding it hard to get hired again. However, this group have a wealth of experience and knowledge.

PROBLEM #2

40% of leaders reporting that talent scarcity has negatively impacted their organisation.

Now, I bet you’re thinking…

“What if we brought these two problems together”

“What if we helped older people get jobs with tech companies who needed talent”

Great minds think alike!

We’ve created an episode on this idea.

In this episode Andrew is joined by Rick Terrien from the Center for Ageless Entrepreneurs.
