Monday Morning Radio Dean Rotbart

In his award-winning 2021 book about the aftermath of the terror attacks on the World Trade Center, September Twelfth, Monday Morning Radio co-host Dean Rotbart described Gwendolyn “Wendy” Bounds, an eyewitness and award-winning journalist.
She was, he wrote, telegenically attractive, with big chocolate-brown eyes, a sparkly broad smile, and shoulder-length buttery blond hair blended with honey highlights.

That was then. Today, as evidenced by the cover photo on her new book — Not Too Late: The Power of Pushing Limits at Any Age — Wendy is often covered in mud and sweat, ripped, displaying muscular arms, strong and toned legs, and broad and well-developed shoulders.
Wendy spent nearly 20 years with The Wall Street Journal, including anchoring the daily, live 25-minute noon news/lifestyle show Lunch Break. Subsequently she became vice president and chief content officer at Consumer Reports and currently heads U.S. media partnerships and business development at SmartNews. 
Wendy has transformed herself from a desk jockey into a competitive Spartan racer, running through mud pits, crawling under barbed wire, swinging across monkey bars, and hoisting sandbags as she navigates obstacle courses.
Age, she assures Dean and his co-host, Maxwell Rotbart, “can be a secret weapon.”
[Not Too Late: The Power of Pushing Limits at Any Age will officially be published on June 18, 2024. It is available for pre-order here.]

Pop quiz, hotshot.
Hackers have frozen you out of your own databases. They tell you that if you want back in, you have to pay them a ransom in the next 24 hours. Oh, and if you don’t want them to sell your clients’ data on the black market, that’s another hefty fee, too.
What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO?

That’s the question that keeps Terry Ziemniak, TechCXO’s fractional chief information security offer, working around the clock, advising businesses on how to build systems and protocols to protect their data, and to prepare a plan in case the barbarians breach the castle gates. 
What steps can you take to begin building a moat around your databases? 
Terry has more than 25 years of experience in the information security field. This week he reveals the deeply guarded secrets to effective cybersecurity.

When business owners and entrepreneurs struggle to resolve an intractable problem, they often blame everyone and everything but the true culprit. Themselves.

Often, what they should be thinking, says Steve McCready — who spent more than 15 years as a psychotherapist before becoming a business coach — is, “It’s not you, it’s me.”
Steve is a “magic eraser” for the root causes of many business problems, including owner self-doubt, lack of focus, and feeling overwhelmed.
You don’t have to lie on the couch while listening to this week’s podcast, Steve assures listeners, but you will want to be comfortable and create a psychologically safe space.

Bryan Clayton, CEO and co-founder of Your Green Pal, uses a proprietary app to match homeowners who need lawn care with small businesses - many of them solo operators - that provide those services.

His numbers are impressive: more than 55,000 entrepreneurs serving over half a million customers.
Bryan began mowing lawns in high school and essentially never quit. Today, he runs a $30 million company that stands out in the so-called “two-sided marketplace,” which brings buyers and sellers together.
Bryan says there are opportunities aplenty for other entrepreneurs like him — in service-sector companies — to leverage technology to create a beautifully manicured business empire.
