Did You Know That?
Did You Know That?
7 APR 2022 · “People ask me all the time, 'What keeps you up at night?' And I say, 'Spicy Mexican food, weapons of mass destruction, and cyberattacks.'” Dutch Ruppersberger
If you’re reading this (hopefully as you’re watching the episode), then your life and data have been impacted by multiple cyber events in the last decade or so. Welcome to the reality of technology in the 21st Century.
While it took a while, politicians recognized their voting base was under attack and decided to act in the way they knew best – passing regulations. The European Union, Brazil, and China all have extensive cyber regulations with provisions that extend beyond their geographic borders. The United States has some national laws specific to particular industries, but most cyber rules are handled at the state level. It’s a hodgepodge that has business swimming in alphabet soup.
That’s why the next guest on Did You Know That? is such an in-demand resource. Diane D. Reynolds has been dealing with cyber regulations, on a global scale, for a good portion of her career. She is who you call to help guide your business through the maze of regulations and compliance, and inevitably, in response to a cyber incident. Our chat focuses on why all businesses are now subject to some sort of regulation and how to proceed from there.

31 MAR 2022 · “Rather than fearing or ignoring cyberattacks, do ensure your cyber resilience to them.” Stephane Nappo
In a few decades, historians will write tomes explaining how the world evolved into its current state based on the 366 days that made up 2020. Among the digital pages will be lessons learned during the intervening years and the mistakes repeated. Those in the technology arena don’t have the luxury of learning lessons over time or of repeated mistakes.
The next guest on Did You Know That? understands the perils of technology, but she’s more interested in how companies protect themselves from those perils. Judy Selby is an attorney with a specialty in cyber insurance (a subject with which I’m familiar). Our conversation is about how businesses prepare for the inevitable cyber event and how they can thrive after being hit. This is a must-watch/listen.

24 MAR 2022 · “No longer are technology and cyber issues confined to tech geeks in some backroom. In the digital age, IT issues are front and center.” Will Hurd
During my 25+ years in and around technology, the most common refrain from those on the business side of a company when it came to cyber was, “It’s an IT problem.” That is not the case any longer. Your IT folks have to be involved in the discussion, but cyber is most definitely a business problem now. Don’t believe me? Maybe my next guest on Did You Know That? can convince you.
Rebecca Rakoski is a founding partner of XPAN Law Partners, a practice primarily dedicated to their client’s cyber welfare. Our conversation focuses on what that means for businesses; some best practices required to stay in “compliance;” and a host of other elements of a cyber program.

17 MAR 2022 · “If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one.” Dolly Parton
Twenty years ago, Sheila Ronning saw an opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of women. Like any good businessperson, she saw a market void and developed a program by which she could fill that void. Regardless of the motivations behind the growing market, Sheila knew that Women in the Boardroom could accomplish two objectives with each placement: increase the number of women serving on corporate boards and strengthen corporate governance by diversifying the voices on those boards.
Today, Women in the Boardroom is a go-to resource for companies looking to fill board positions with a quality candidate. (Full disclosure: a board on which I sit used their services to fill an open seat.) On this episode of Did You Know That?, Sheila discusses the genesis of the firm and how women can build and execute a plan to secure board positions. As you’ll learn, this effort goes beyond just kicking in the proverbial glass ceiling.

10 MAR 2022 · "We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked, and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for is the greatest poverty." Mother Teresa
Homelessness has been an issue for humans since a documented history was begun – and probably before. Like most complex societal issues, solutions have been tried, discarded, tried again, discarded again, and so on. Why would efforts in 2021 be different?
That and many other questions are addressed in this episode of Did You Know That? Shira Fisher has spent 13+ years of her life working for organizations using modern technologies, data, and approaches to put a dent in the 55,000 homeless in New York City. Despite the enormity of the effort and the incremental forward progress, she remains convinced this is one societal issue that can be solved. After you experience this conversation, you might as well.

3 MAR 2022 · “The attempt to escape from pain is what creates more pain.” Gabor Maté
Addiction. I think it’s a topic misunderstood by all but the addict themselves. So who better to talk about addiction, misuse/abuse, and the road to recovery than someone who has lived it?
Jay Shifman’s story isn’t entirely unique or salacious. In some ways, it’s the typical roller coaster associated with addiction and recovery. But Jay Shifman’s view of his addiction, recovery, and how he helps others struggling with his former demons is very different from the common broadcasts around the topic. That’s why he’s joining me on this episode of Did You Know That?
You can reach out to Jay via his myriad of contact points:

24 FEB 2022 · "Ascent is always difficult. Descent is easy and often slippery.” Mahatma Gandhi
How do you deal with a condition you may not know you have? That was one of my first thoughts when preparing for this episode. On the surface, addiction prevention seems impossible, like a mountain with no peak. Given you can be addicted to virtually anything, how do you prevent it without sealing off your entire life?
Well, it’s more than just saying no. Frances (Fran) Harding is an expert on addiction prevention. It’s been her focus for decades, so she knows the Sisyphean (look it up) effort many expect, but she also knows it can work. She has the data and has seen the successes with her own eyes. That’s what we’re talking about on this episode of Did You Know That?

17 FEB 2022 · "You can be a career professional as a judge, a prosecutor, sometimes as a defense attorney, and never insist on fairness and justice. That's tragic and that's what we have to change." Bryan Stevenson
When you read the term defense attorney, what or who springs to mind? Hold that image in your mind until you meet my next guest on Did You Know That?
Christian Dysart probably doesn’t fit the narrative in your head as to what or who a defense attorney should be. But he has all the traits you’d want in the person fighting for your freedom/life. This is a conversation about the role of a defense attorney, criminal law, and how the system works (or doesn’t work) for those accused of a crime.

Want to know a dirty secret about sports? The majority of athletes at the minor levels of the major sports or in lesser-known competitions don’t earn enough from the sport to make ends meet. Many of these athletes have full-time jobs, even in-season, in order to support themselves and pursue their goal of making it to the “bigs.” This is the reality facing thousands of athletes in the still-evolving sport of CrossFit, and it’s why my next guest on Did You Know that? is really someone to emulate.
Nicole Soto has a master’s degree; she co-owns a CrossFit gym; she coaches group classes and personal clients, and she’s a highly respected nutritionist. In her spare moments, she spends time with her husband and two dogs and prepares herself to compete at the highest levels of CrossFit. In her first year back competing, Nicole finished among the top 200 fittest women in the world. So, if you want to get past your excuses, you’ve come to the right place.

3 FEB 2022 · “All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward.” Ellen Glasgow
CrossFit, as an exercise methodology and sport, is all about change. The just-completed CrossFit offseason saw some major changes, but at the same time, significant continuity. Helping me piece this dichotomy together is CrossFit’s official statistician, Chad Schroeder, who joins Did You Know That? for his second appearance.
Chad and I discuss the firing of Dave Castro, the offseason competitions, major athlete news, and how he’s prepping for the 2022 season. Speaking of which, the 2022 schedule is listed below if you’re interested in participating – at least in The Open – or just want to follow as a fan.
