IT in the D

If nothing else, this episode reinforced to us just how crazy the next month is going to be.  Penguicon, a movie premiere, several security events, live broadcasts, and more.  And then we found out all about getting insurance for security breaches, and a whole new bundle of questions opened up.  Listen in as we chat about what Burns & Wilcox can offer your company, as well as Penguicon and wha...

Sure, we talked about the chaos with Delta and United, as well as some new exploits and hacks that are out, why Taco Bell and Wendy’s need to give raises to their social media folks and more, but mostly we learned about Detroit Startup Week, Journi, and some very cool things going on downtown…including a few that have deadlines rapidly approaching, so if you want in on them, listen in&...

We don’t often break out our episodes into individual segments…in fact, we haven’t done that in almost two years now.  However, the stories and messages that came through during our conversation with Michael last night about the charity that we’re working with for Thursday night’s events are extremely powerful, woefully undiscussed, and need to be brought to light.  P...
