  • Ransomware vs AI Rulebooks: The 2026 Double Bind for Healthcare and Finance
    Apr 1 2026

    Healthcare and financial services are in a 2026 double bind: ransomware shuts down hospitals and exposes millions of accounts while regulators roll out strict new AI rulebooks. In this episode of The Circuit, you learn how recent attacks in both sectors connect to the US Treasury’s Financial Services AI Risk Management Framework and emerging healthcare AI expectations, and you walk away with a focused 90 day plan to align cyber, vendor risk, and AI governance before attackers and supervisors force your hand.

  • AI Did the Outreach. Humans Absorbed the Damage.
    Mar 12 2026

    Your AI sales tools are working. They are also making sure certain buyers will never work with you.

    I watched a seven-step sales process collapse to three with the right AI deployment. I also watched one bad automated outreach guarantee a lost customer for life. Both happened at the same company.

    In today's episode I break down what separates the two.

  • AI Is Coming for Your Job Description, Not Your Job
    Mar 10 2026

    Salesforce cut 4,000 support workers last year because AI was doing half the work. Amazon dropped 14,000 corporate roles and called it "leaner structures." Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum says AI will create 170 million new jobs by 2030.

    So which is it? Mass extinction or mass opportunity?

    Neither. The answer depends entirely on what you do in the next 18 months.

    In this week's edition of The Circuit I break down AI's real impact across 10 professional fields, what's actually at risk, and the one shift that separates the people who get displaced from the people who get promoted.

  • Institutional Failure: The Real Horror of Dead Frequency, A Ultimate Cyber Risk Thriller
    Mar 5 2026

    In this episode, we review Dead Frequency (Book One of the Gridfall series), an operational technology thriller that translates cyber risk into a gripping narrative better than any boardroom slide deck. We explore the book's terrifyingly realistic premise: a supply chain compromise by Russian threat actors targeting the Texas power grid's protective relays, enabled by complicit American defense contractors. Join us as we discuss the exact attack vectors and why this novel's depiction of institutional failure should be required reading for every critical infrastructure worker, executive, and policymaker.

    Ready to read the fictional thriller that explains supply chain risk better than a PowerPoint?

  • 45 Non-Human Identities for Every Employee. You're Governing Maybe 10% of Them.
    Mar 3 2026

    Your AI agents have more access than your CISO — and most security teams have no idea.

    In this episode of The Circuit, I break down how agentic AI and the Model Context Protocol have quietly turned identity and access management into an unsolved runtime problem. From twelve thousand live secrets found in LLM training data to twenty thousand "private" GitHub repos accessible through Microsoft Copilot — the threat isn't theoretical.
