It’s every parent’s worst nightmare—your child dials 911... and nothing happens.
Most of us assume emergency services will be there when we need them. But what if your office phone, your cloud system, or your campus setup silently fails in a moment that counts?

In this episode, Max Clark is joined by Mark “Fletch” Fletcher, ENP at 911 and a leading voice in public safety technology. They unpack shocking real-world failures—from tragic hotel incidents to multi-million-dollar lawsuits—and expose the hidden compliance gaps most companies don’t know they have. You’ll learn how outdated PBX systems, VoIP misconfigurations, and overlooked 911 laws like Kari’s Law and the Ray Baum’s Act can become legal and life-threatening liabilities.

This episode isn’t just a tech conversation—it’s a wake-up call. Watch now before you assume you're protected.

Microsoft doesn’t just allow you to leave Calling Plans—they’ve built tools to help you do it. That’s not a glitch in the strategy. It is the strategy.

In this episode, Max Clark sits down with Steve Forcum, Director of Marketing at SIPPIO, to explore the future of voice inside Microsoft Teams—and why legacy models like Cisco UC and Microsoft Calling Plans no longer fit. From the Operator Connect evolution to one school’s decision to remove 700 phones, they cover the shifting landscape of UC in real-world environments.

You don’t need a desk phone to have a voice strategy. But you do need to hear this.

Could one missed alert put lives at risk?
Hospitals were once worried about downtime. Now they're facing something far worse: real-world consequences when cybersecurity fails. One ransomware attack shut down a hospital—and a patient died. It was a moment that changed how healthcare leaders view risk forever.

In this episode, Max Clark sits down with Eric Fromm of Trustwave to unpack the silent vulnerabilities plaguing healthcare systems, and how Temple Health made the shift from “good enough” security to fully operationalizing Microsoft E5. They dive into tool sprawl, MSSP gaps, the power of co-managed SOCs, and how to turn underutilized licenses into real protection. If you work in healthcare IT or security, this is your wake-up call.

Watch now—because the next breach won’t just cost data.

What if the company you just bought came with a hidden cyber landmine?
M&A is risky enough. But when cybersecurity gaps go unchecked during a merger, the consequences aren't just technical — they’re financial, operational, and reputational. And most leaders don’t see the breach coming until it’s too late.

In this episode, Max Clark sits down with Kevin Thomsen, CRO of Maxxsure to unpack what really happens when cybersecurity is treated like a checkbox during mergers and acquisitions. They dive into risk quantification, breach modeling, insurance failures, and the dangerous disconnect between CISOs, the board, and private equity firms.

If you’ve ever asked, “Are we covered?” — this is the episode you need to watch. Because it’s not just a breach. It’s a $29M mistake.

A 20-year-old server. A forgotten backup plan. A single system crash. In healthcare, these aren’t just IT oversights — they’re threats to patient lives. From delayed treatments to data breaches, outdated tech can trigger a cascade of consequences no provider can afford. 

In this episode, Max Clark is joined by Dustin Young, EVP of Enzu and an expert in healthcare IT infrastructure, to explore the hidden dangers of relying on outdated technology. They discuss the rising IT costs, the burden of managing outdated systems, and how these challenges threaten patient care. You’ll learn key steps to modernize your IT, navigate cloud migration, and ensure your systems are ready for the future of healthcare.

What happens when a three-year-old laptop, long forgotten, quietly reconnects to your network? It sounds like a harmless scenario—until it isn't. In today’s digital landscape, what we forget can hurt us.

Join Max Clark and guest Alexey Goncharov of Cepheid as they dive into the overlooked blind spots in enterprise security: legacy access points, directory misalignments, and the burnout cycle of patching outdated infrastructure. You’ll hear true stories from the trenches and learn why leading IT teams are adopting identity-first approaches and VPN-less architectures—even if no one’s calling it Zero Trust out loud.
