The Social Engineering Economy
It started the way most heists do, with a file that shouldn’t exist. Bob, the vendor account manager, exported a spreadsheet to send out Holiday greeting cards to his customer’s family. Bob always takes copious notes on his customers, their family, how many kids, their names, ages, and which college they got accepted to. It’s…

How To Make It in this Agentic World
For centuries, the question of achieving success was answered simply by effort and skill. Back in the day, you were told to do a good job, and in doing so, you would be rewarded. “Lace up your boots and get to work,” they preached. Expertise was fundamental to doing a good job, hence education, practice,…

The Asana of Success
Yoga aims to unite the body, mind, and soul together to form an integrated whole. All is one. As I reflect on my 25-year yoga journey, I realize there are certain go-to poses in my Vinyasa database, if you will. This makes me wonder what it is in my personality that attracts me to the…

Securing Data Integrity in the Age of AI
I’ve spent my career in security, and I’ve never seen a moment like this. Every organization wants to use AI and machine learning to get better insights, modernize operations, and improve services.

Why Data Security in AI Isn’t an Add-On — It’s Built Into Every Component of Your Pipeline

AI orchestration pipelines extend…

Darwinian Data, Evolutionary AI, and How to Survive
Charles Darwin famously said in 1859, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent… It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” But Darwin’s perspective is no longer just about animal species; it’s also about current models and data. 165 years after Darwin published his theory…

What Is Important for Any CEO?
How many sales presentations have you attended? For me, it’s 4,695. But who’s counting? Going back to 1995 when I joined Oracle, that’s the number I’ve logged, like a fatigued Delta Diamond Medallion flyer. And like a Medallion flyer, after thousands of journeys under my seatbelt, I’ve identified and lived by the patterns that lead…

How Much Does it Cost to Make Money?
Way back in 2014, Meta/Facebook acquired WhatsApp for $19 billion, and just recently, they decided to monetize their 2 billion WhatsApp user community with ads. They also just plunked down $14b on Scale AI. Even bigger, perhaps, is Apple thinking about buying Perplexity, which, to me, makes a lot of sense, especially because of their…
