Voices Of The Vigilant podcast

In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

Cyber Resiliency - Strategy Meets Security: How Authenticity Drives Strategic Partnerships 46:02

for 8 weeks siden46:02

Send us a text What happens when we bring our authentic selves to work? Rachel Arnold, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Secure Nation, reveals the power of human connection in building lasting client relationships in cybersecurity. Rachel describes her unique role as "the human API" - connecting people, products, and possibilities through deep understanding of communication preferences and needs. Unlike traditional vendor relationships focused on transactions, Rachel builds partnerships based on trust and genuine connection. She tailors her approach to each client's preferred communication style, whether that's email, text message, or phone calls, creating experiences that feel personal rather than corporate. The conversation explores how authenticity transforms work environments. As Rachel puts it, "How awful to spend 40+ hours a week pretending to be someone else." By bringing her whole self to professional interactions—sharing her passion for plants, discussing family challenges, and expressing genuine care for clients—she creates relationships that transcend typical business boundaries. This authenticity doesn't diminish professionalism; it enhances it by building deeper trust. Most compelling is the discussion about workplace culture and leadership. Toxic environments stem from leaders who themselves are suffering but lack self-awareness to address their pain constructively. By contrast, when leaders demonstrate vulnerability, admit mistakes, and support teams through professional and personal challenges, everyone thrives. These supportive environments don't just benefit employees—they directly translate to better client service and business success. Ready to transform your approach to professional relationships? Subscribe to Voices of the Vigilant for more conversations about the human side of cybersecurity, and check out Rachel's weekly livestream "Coffee Table Talks" to continue exploring authentic leadership.
