When AI Stops Being Helpful - Ep 545

AI: the gift that keeps on glitching. While most folks are still marveling at how AI can write emails and fold laundry (okay, not quite yet), this episode pulls back the curtain on what happens when artificial intelligence stops being polite and starts getting dangerous. We're talking zombie agents, security holes big enough to drive a HIPAA violation through, and automated tools that might just be a little too eager to help. It's informative, a little terrifying, and more than a few chuckles along the way.

Even Security Leaders Make Human Mistakes - Ep 544

You’d think the folks steering the cybersecurity ship would be the last ones to punch holes in the hull—but nope, even the pros trip over their own policies. In this episode, we dive headfirst into a cautionary tale where a CISO (yes, the security guy) admits to becoming the insider threat he warns others about. From skipping his own software vetting procedures to triggering network alarms like it’s the 4th of July, this story is equal parts cringe and crucial. Strap in as we explore how even the most iron-clad experts are still deliciously human.

But It Was Five Stars on Amazon - Ep 543

Just because your smart fridge can order milk and your thermostat knows when you're chilly doesn’t mean your home network is safe from cyber shenanigans. In this episode, we’re roasting the myth that five-star Amazon reviews mean airtight security, dragging lazy VPN habits, and exposing how your toddler’s tablet might be the real Trojan horse in your living room. From forgotten firmware to doorbells that moonlight as spies, we’re pulling back the Wi-Fi curtain on all the ways your devices could be betraying you—with or without your permission.

Ever wonder what happens when patient record requests are ignored, invoices go wild, and cybersecurity takes a coffee break? Spoiler: it ends with lawsuits, settlements, and a whole lot of legal back-and-forth. In this episode, we unpack a right of access case that dragged on longer than a season of courtroom drama, and then dive into the spaghetti mess of post-breach chaos - where class action lawsuits spring up like mushrooms and documentation (or lack thereof) can make or break you. If you thought the breach was the worst part… oh honey, it’s just getting started.

2026 Planning Since Predicting Is Pointless - Ep 541

Here’s the deal: making predictions about 2026 is about as useful as a chocolate teapot. So instead of peering into a cloudy crystal ball, we’re laying down some solid groundwork for planning ahead.

Buckle up—it’s a 2026 survival guide with fewer guesses and more “you got this.”

2025 Holiday Blooper Show

It’s that time of year again where audio perfection goes to die and chaos reigns supreme! In this special episode, we celebrate ten years of podcasting excellence by showcasing the exact opposite: dogs with digestive drama, countdowns that never count down quite right, rogue microphones, clumsy kitchen accidents, and travel mics that seem personally offended by their own existence.  

Expect Donna’s thumb to take a hit (thanks, chef’s knife), David to escape suspicion of living off the grid, and Bojan to quietly question all his life choices while trying to make this circus sound good from across the ocean.

Why 95% of AI Dreams End in a Cold Shower - Ep 540

You know that warm fuzzy feeling you get thinking AI will solve all your business problems and let you retire early? Yeah, this episode is the cold shower you didn’t know you needed. We’re talking about why most AI projects crash harder than a Segway on launch day, how businesses keep falling into the same traps, and why treating AI like a superpowered intern (instead of your replacement) might be the smarter move.
