S02 E04 AI, Cybersecurity & Critical Thinking: Inside a Law Firm's Real AI Strategy
You know AI is moving fast. But do you know how fast your business needs to move with it?
In this episode, Marco Nicosia sits down with Robyna May, CIO of McInnes Wilson Lawyers, and REDD CEO Bryan Rogers, to unpack what it really takes to keep pace with AI without losing control.
You'll hear why having Co-Pilot switched on isn't the same as having an AI strategy, why zero-day vulnerabilities are becoming exponentially harder to manage, and why quantum computing could turn today's encrypted data into tomorrow's liability.
You'll also get a candid look at governance, tool sprawl, and the very human question sitting underneath it all: how do you protect critical thinking, in your team and in the next generation coming up behind them, when the answer is always one prompt away?
If you're leading a business through this shift, this conversation will challenge how you're thinking about AI, security and accountability.

S02 E03 The Truth About Cyber Insurance, AI Risk & Business Protection
You’re likely investing in cybersecurity, but are you truly protected where it counts?
In this episode, host Marco Nicosia, alongside ShepaTech’s COO, Tim Stephinson, unpacks the real role of cyber insurance in today’s evolving risk landscape. You’re challenged to rethink how you approach protection, especially as AI and cyber threats continue to accelerate.
You will learn about the elements of cyber insurance, pinpoint typical gaps in coverage that companies frequently encounter, and understand how shortcomings in access and control can lead to vulnerabilities. Most importantly, you are urged to adopt a more proactive and strategic approach to risk management.
Because real resilience doesn’t come from tools alone, it comes from understanding where your vulnerabilities lie and taking action before it’s too late.

S02 E02 Why “Nothing’s Broken” is the Most Dangerous IT Strategy
If nothing’s broken in your IT environment, are you sure it’s actually working for you?
In this episode, you’ll hear REDD’s CEO Bryan Rogers and COO Chris Herbert, together with host Marco Nicosia, challenge a common assumption: just because nothing’s broken doesn’t mean everything’s working. You’re encouraged to look beyond surface-level performance and question whether your IT environment is truly supporting your growth or quietly holding you back.
You’ll reflect on the hidden gaps, the unseen risks, and the cost of downtime that rarely makes it onto a report. Bryan and Chris unpack why visibility, clear metrics, and strong governance matter more than ever. You’re reminded that resilience isn’t accidental, it’s designed.
If you’re leading a business, managing risk, or responsible for technology outcomes, this conversation prompts you to think differently. Not reactively, but proactively. Not when something fails, but before it does.
