It's here - episode 100 in the Mastering Risk Management Podcast!
And for this milestone episode, I wanted to bring you a very special guest. His name is Gus Balbontin, and I think you'll find him a little different from most of the other guests I've had on the program.
Gus is a keynote speaker, innovator and alternative futurist (listen to how Gus explains this) in his 'day job' and also pens a wonderful weekly newsletter, 'Rebellious Thoughts' designed to push us out of our comfort zone and towards peak performance.
This discussion has Gus sharing his vast experience, on leadership and innovation but also on looking after family. It was a fun episode to record, and I hope you have fun listening.
Thanks again to Gus for being part of the program - very much appreciated!
Many thanks also to my listeners - you don't get to 100 episodes without a loyal following and I am truly thankful and humbled that you take the time to download and listen to the program. On to the next milestone!
Cheers, AnthonyContact ABM Risk Partnership to optimise your risk management approach:

This episode is a must listen! If you were raised on a diet of TV medical dramas like House, The Good Doctor, ER, Grey's Anatomy or any of hundreds of others, today's guest will help set the record straight!
Mainak Majumdar is the Director, Intensive Care Services, Mercy Hospital, in Werribee, Victoria and is my very special guest. In our discussion, we hear of how Mainak got into medicine (not his first choice!) and what led him to specialise in emergency / intensive care medicine.
Of most relevance to my audience, Mainak shares how he applies a risk management approach to running the Intensive Care Unit and leverages the power of his people to get the best possible patient outcomes.
This approach was recognised when in 2021, Mainak received the Public Sector Risk Leader of the Year award, presented by the Risk Management Institution of Australasia (RMIA).
This is a fascinating discussion and insight into the workings of a busy Intensive Care Unit - a big thank you to Mainak for so graciously sharing his time and expertise!
For those counting, you'll notice this is episode #99 - stay tuned next week when I'll launch our 100th episode in time for listening over the festive season break.

Hard to believe in this day and age that there are still organisations that don't get the importance of safety - for their own teams but also for visitors to their sites such as customers, contractors, delivery drivers etc.
Micheal Martin has 'been there and done that' in people safety and is a fantastic resource in this space. His consultancy, Proven Safety Solutions has provided advice across a number of industries.
Leadership is key to getting the right safety outcomes and Micheal strongly advocates for leaders to deeply understand the nature of work their people do in order to provide the right tone for safety in the business.
Enjoy listening to Micheal share his insights into what it takes to get this very important risk right!
Apologies for the audio quality in places.

Whilst the legislation is likely different in jurisdictions across the world, the requirements to prevent harm to employees is universal. And when things do go wrong and an employee is injured, there is an onus on the employer to help the person recover and get back to their previous lifestyle as soon as possible - including their job role.
Sometimes it proves fairly challenging, and this is where my guest for this episode comes to the fore. Rocio Luna is a seasoned commercial insurance producer with a specialised focus on the construction and staffing industries.
At Insurax, Rocio leverages her vast experience in managing workers' compensation claims, particularly within the stringent regulatory landscapes of California, Arizona, Texas, Washington, Nevada, and New York. She is well-versed in dealing with high Experience Modification Rates (EMRs), helping businesses struggling with frequent workers' compensation claims, general liability, auto, and employment practices issues.
Rocio's approach is deeply rooted in risk management. She provides tailored risk management programs aimed at reducing premiums for businesses with 25 or more employees, primarily targeting contractors and staffing agencies. Her expertise in cumulative trauma claims and state-specific workers' compensation laws has led to significant cost savings for her clients.
Rocio is not just an insurance provider; she positions herself as a strategic partner, bridging the gap between employers, insurance carriers, and the often-misunderstood workers' compensation system.
Whilst the laws vary, the principles Rocio shares in this discussion can be applied in almost any setting.

You've probably heard of the concept of 'the power of the crowd' - in this episode of the Mastering Risk Management podcast, we hear about it being put to good use to battle the scourge of our online world - cyber criminals & state-sponsored hackers.
Our guest is Philippe Humeau, Founder and CEO of CrowdSec an open source, multiplayer firewall that analyses visitor behaviour and provides adapted responses to all kinds of attacks. With more than 250,000 installations across in excess of 180 countries clearly, it's an approach that works.
You'll hear about Philippe's extensive experience, from the time he got 'fired' from school, right through to his articulation of the complex, not complicated, problem that is cyber security.
Every organisation is exposed to this risk - should your business be part of the group effort to minimise the impact of this crime? I commend you to listen to the episode before you answer!

In this episode, Anthony reflects on the CrowdStrike incident that impacted millions of businesses and users across the globe.
He talks about what happened and what some of the key lessons that we can take away from the incident - including the importance of testing, ensuring backups are in place and working, clear, timely, and transparent communications and of course, the criticality of third-party risk management.
And lastly, what should organisations be thinking about in future to avoid a similar occurrence - Is our cloud strategy resilient, are our user devices fit for purpose / relevant to the operating environment, do we get the appropriate level of assurance from our service and hardware providers?

Knowing who has access to your systems and that they have the right level of access is a key tenant of good cybersecurity hygiene. The challenge is that users forget their passwords or can't navigate the multifactor authentication (MFA) process - meaning a call to the Help Desk.
CEO of Nametag Inc, Aaron Painter talks to us about how organisations can save time, improve customer & employee satisfaction and enable the Help Desk to focus on key systems issues. The secret - utilising the technology we all have in our hands these days - our mobile phone!
Aaron talks us through the process (in plain English!) that Nametag has developed to make this time consuming and sometimes very frustrating verification task a thing of the past.
But don't take my word for it - have a look at their website and the demonstration videos - link is here.

Have a listen to this fantastic chat with Brad Hibbert, Chief Operating Officer & Chief Strategy Officer of Prevalent, a leader in third party risk management.
With all organisations looking for ways to streamline operations and focus on their core skillsets, there has been a massive uptake over recent years in outsourcing / co-sourcing or just plain contracting out elements of the business.
Whilst this realises many efficiency / cost benefits, you can't outsource the organisations responsibilities or legal obligations. Most importantly, any incidents / errors by the third party often lead to reputational damage to your own organisation.
Brad talks about the methodology they use to qualify third party providers - including an initial assessment process and then ongoing monitoring - providing a 360-degree risk profile of your third-party vendors.
A must listen for any organisation relying on third party providers! Contact details for Prevalent are below:

Almost every organisation on the planet is reliant on a supply chain of some description - and in this episode we unpack the challenges and major developments that have affected supply chains.
My guest is Pete Grett - Founder and CEO of the Blackrock Group. His career journey is an important part of his backstory, having started his working career as a temp employee in a warehouse.
Something must have struck a chord with Pete as he quickly rose to a leadership career in supply chain operations including senior roles at FedEx.
We touch on some of the 'front of mind' issues challenging supply chain leaders today - shipping incidents that block key supply chain infrastructure for days, weeks or even months, the emergence of artificial intelligence up and down the supply chain and of course, consumer demand for ever faster delivery times.
I really enjoyed this discussion with Pete - I hope you do too.

As promised when we interviewed Simon earlier in the year, we spoke to him again in this episode to get some insight into the RMIA Risk Management Conference happening on the 13th to the 15th of May in Sydney.
Since we last spoke, Simon and the Conference team have done a great job at securing some top-notch speakers and presenters and finalising what looks to be an awesome event.
You'll hear Simon talk about what makes this year's conference so worthwhile, his 'superfan' crush on one of the speakers and why the price of registration represents such great value, not only for the individual attending but also for the organisation they represent.
I trust you enjoy this discussion and look forward to seeing you at the event!

In our chat, Rocco shares his vast experience in assisting companies to safely, and with due regard to the environment, retire or on sell end of life computer and network equipment.
As you'll hear, the biggest challenge is not the physical equipment, but rather ensuring that all company confidential or sensitive data is removed from the devices and unable to be retrieved.
Listen for his observation on where data sometimes turns up - where you'd least expect it!
It is also great to hear that Rocco and the team are committed to keeping old devices out of landfill - reducing the burden of e-waste on the environment.
Rocco and the Brass Valley team can assist no matter where you are in the world so if you are looking for certainty and security in retiring your old / end of life technology, check out the link below:
