Happy 2025! In this two-part episode, my guest is the founder of North Labs, Collin Graves. We discuss a variety of topics, including, of all things, the similarities between Higher Education and manufacturing! I'll never think of a  'bow-tie' in the same way again! Collin was an early pioneer in cloud computing and was one of the very first certified on AWS. Please comment and let us know what you think!

In another two-part episode, I sit down with a long-time cybersecurity professional and personal friend, Cal Jeffrey. We first met in 1998 when we were both at Check Point Software. We've remained great friends and have collaborated multiple times. I affectionately call him my personal SMEE—subject matter expert on everything! Joking aside, Cal is a knowledgeable, intelligent, and engaging colleague, and I'm sure you'll enjoy this episode. Please comment and share your thoughts!

I'm finally back with a new video format. Thanks for sticking with me. I've decided to run solo in this episode and show one of the most popular presentations I've delivered in the last few years. It's not just a bunch of slides; I show a number of very cool sites too! (links below) I hope you enjoy it!

(Special thanks to Jason Prost for the initial slides. Thanks to Pete Nicoletti for the cool AI Risk Repository from MIT)

Episode #60 features Ori Mankali. Ori is a highly seasoned and experienced software developer and leader who now heads engineering for Akeyless Security. Ori is a pioneer in cloud computing, cloud security, and container technologies. Listen as we discuss numerous topics including zero-trust, remote access security, AI, software development, and more. It was a fun discussion for me and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

If you've been in the cybersecurity industry sometime during the past two decades, you've likely heard of the analyst firm ESG-Enterprise Strategy Group. What you may not know is, before my guest joined ESG more than 21 years ago, the 'S' stood for storage. My guest in Episode 59, Jon Oltsik originally launched the security practice at ESG which now boasts five analysts. Join Jon and me as we discuss several topics including the changes in cybersecurity over the past two decades the impact of AI and more.

Needless to say, the hottest topic today is Artificial Intelligence and all its variations. So, I found another expert on AI to be my guest. Roland Cozzolino has numerous inventions and patents to his name including inventing the real-time buying of online advertising, common today.  Roland is a perfect example of someone who looks at things differently and, as a result, sees different ways to solve problems. He's a brilliant mathematician, developer, AI expert, serious music aficionado, and a terrific guest I know you'll enjoy.
