While I still call Australia home is an expat love song, a song that exuberantly celebrates all that makes my homeland great, Tenterfield Saddler is a sadder, more poignant song that speaks to the precarious balance of life versus death. A balance that is challenged daily if you live in Australia.

Today, let’s look at Tenterfield Saddler. One of the most beautiful songs of all time, and an unintentional homage to risk management.

For those Australians of a certain vintage. I was in third grade at the time. I remember waking up on September 26 1983, getting ready for school, all the while watching the television broadcast, live from , Newport, Rhode Island. I remember every moment of Australia II crossing the finishing line, the cannons exploding, signifying that we had indeed won, and I remember watching a country celebrate with wild abandon.

Australia. Yes, little Australia, had just ended the longest winning streak in sport of all time. 132 years.

Today’s episode is a story of the plucky underdogs vanquishing a dominant combatant. It’s a story of understanding where opportunity exists, and how to best maximise its potential. And it’s a story of resilience and never laying down your arms, until the job is done.

On this week’s Risktory Podcast, how Australia II won the America’s Cup.

You have often heard me speak about risk being agnostic. That some of history’s biggest monsters – Adolf Hitler, Che Guevara, Josef Stalin – they were all superb risk practitioners. But they used our discipline for the most evil of purposes.

Operation Varsity Blues is a great example of the opportunity side of the risk coin, being used for malevolent intent. To gain privilege at the expense of others. On this week’s episode of the Risktory Podcast, I look at how the wealthy and powerful used risk, to grasp what was not theirs to have.

Ever since that episode first aired in February 2021, I’ve been inundated with questions about stock trading strategies. And I’ve found it interesting that most, if not all, of the questions were, and are, around minimizing loss and maximizing yield. And how to avoid the former and how to chase the latter.

And you might be thinking, that’s weird. Why are people messaging a podcast based in risk and history about stock trading strategies.

Don’t worry, it flummoxed me too at first. But then I figured it out.

Stock trading strategies are – at their core – pure risk management. Depending on your objective, there is likely to be a stock trading strategy that, when implemented, will work to minimize loss and maximize yield. The messages I was receiving were not necessarily around the technicalities of stock trading but, rather, how to use them in a risk management context or risk management ecosystem.

So, on today’s episode, I make sense of ten of the most popular stock trading strategies: what they are, how they work, and how you – the average, everyday person – can utilize them. From the perspective of risk management.

One of the most popular Risktory episodes of 2021, or ever, really, has been the episode ‘Make it make sense… Gamestop’ where I documented how a bunch of Reddit bros went up against Wall Street and...
Ever since that episode first aired in February 2021, I’ve been inundated with questions about stock trading strategies. And I’ve found it interesting that most, if not all, of the questions were, and are, around minimizing loss and maximizing yield. And how to avoid the former and how to chase the latter.

And you might be thinking, that’s weird. Why are people messaging a podcast based in risk and history about stock trading strategies.

Don’t worry, it flummoxed me too at first. But then I figured it out.

Stock trading strategies are – at their core – pure risk management. Depending on your objective, there is likely to be a stock trading strategy that, when implemented, will work to minimize loss and maximize yield. The messages I was receiving were not necessarily around the technicalities of stock trading but, rather, how to use them in a risk management context or risk management ecosystem.

So, on today’s episode, I make sense of ten of the most popular stock trading strategies: what they are, how they work, and how you – the average, everyday person – can utilize them. From the perspective of risk management.

Peter Allen.

Peter Allen occupies a curious place in Australian lore. At least, in my Australian world, there is no debate as to whether you love, or hate, Peter Allen. He has, over time, transcended the judgements we usually ascribe to celebrities.

Peter Allen is a national deity and his song, I Still Call Australia Home, our unofficial national anthem. As an expat, I can tell you that – play that song amongst a group of Australians who are far from home – and the tears that accompany its playing, they will be real.

On this week’s episode of The Risktory Podcast, the life and times of master of the unknown, and great Australian, Peter Allen.

A lot of what you will hear today, won’t be new from the perspective of how disruptors disrupt. They have a pattern and you will see that pattern in today’s episode.

But there are lessons in the Trader Joe’s startup that makes its inception, and subsequent, journey, utterly unique. Lessons that have facilitated Trader Joe’s holding multiple competitive advantages that – to this day – have been unable to be eroded.

Short story long: The collapse of Pan Am was a perfect risk storm. It wasn’t one threat that took out Pan Am. It was a mix of threats, incubating over an extended period of time, that came together.

Creating a risk storm that Pan Am was, simply, unable to either weather and/or recover from.

I say risk gift, not because what is happening is wonderful. Milton’s indictment will see thousands of investors lose over the coming weeks. And Nikola leadership will have to steady a ship that is now without a captain.

I say risk gift, because what we are seeing with Milton’s indictment, is threat playing out in real time. For risk practitioners, these moments are rare and – when they happen – we’re almost honor bound to absorb every moment. Because the lessons we will learn are the lessons that make us better practitioners. And make our organizations stronger and more resilient.

I think it’s important that we all understand what is really happening. It’s important to understand that what is happening isn’t surprising, and that it aligns with the trajectory of all pandemics.

When the US ratified the 18th amendment to its Constitution in January of 2019. A move that effectively banned the manufacture, sale and transportation of alcoholic beverages. It unknowingly, or at least unintentionally, created opportunity for bootleggers to ply their trade to customers for whom alcohol was a non-elastic necessity.

The usual shady characters – including organized crime groups – all stepped into the breach created by the 18th amendment. As did women. Ordinary. Everyday. Previously law abiding women.

On this week’s episode, I look at four legendary female bootleggers. How they did what they did.

Why they did what they did. And I explore the risk lessons we ought to learn from Masters of the Bootlegging Risk Universe.

As we see with the rise. And fall. Of Compaq computers.

Compaq - the brainchild of three friends from Houston, Texas – disrupted the computer hardware market by, initially, boldly playing in IBM’s slipstream. And subsequently, transforming and mastering what was, at the time, the burgeoning value chain that was computer hardware manufacturing. Creating for itself multiple competitive advantages.

And then, Compaq became the disrupted. Its momentum had the kibosh put it. It’s competitive advantages – and there were a few - eroded. To the point that we now ask today, whatever happened to Compaq.

On this week’s episode of the Risktory Podcast, we find out. Tip: it’s exactly what you think happened.

It can be used for the purposes of good. And for the purposes of the not so good.

Enter John McAfee. The controversial and problematic creator of McAfee Anti-Virus Software, who – just last week – passed away while awaiting extradition from Spain to the US to face charges of fraud and money laundering.

McAfee created a whole industry rooted and nested, in the fear of the unknown. He saw opportunity in threat, expertly wielding our discipline to make himself a multi-millionaire.

On this week’s episode, I explore how McAfee did it.

Melitta Bentz – the inventor of the paper coffee filter. Melitta Bentz - the creator of a coffee empire that, to this day, still exists. And Melitta Bentz – a woman whose innovative workplace policies set the tone for the benefits we take for granted today.

There is nothing more inspiring than an everyday risk master. Someone who saw a problem. Spotted the gap. Innovated the gap. Throttled the opportunity that followed. And didn’t stop, even when she had ‘made it’.

Stories like that of Melitta Bentz are the stories that ought to inspire everyone that, they too, can be risk masters.

I’ve always said that the 2016 Crash Override hack. Which, for those not familiar, was the successful infiltration, and shut down, of Kiev’s electrical grid in the dead of a frigid Ukranian winter. I’ve always said that the 2016 Crash Override hack. It wasn’t the main event. It was a preview of what was to come.

What we are seeing with the hacks of both the Colonial Pipeline and JBS Holdings is a holus bolus full frontal attack on critical infrastructure globally, with the aim of: a) making hackers money; and b) demonstrating the fragility, or perhaps more accurately, the vulnerability, of critical infrastructure.

This is Fight Club, except it’s not fiction.

As a discipline which – at its core – is all about how we entreat with the unknown – both with opportunity and/or threat in mind. Risk management doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t have a moral compass. Anyone can make use of it. For the purposes of good. And for the purposes of the not so good.

And that’s where Ivan Boesky and the 1986 Insider Trading Scandal comes in. Ivan exploited the opportunity side of the risk coin, as a way to make money. And while – as you will find out in this episode – Ivan paid an incredibly heavy price for his opportunity chasing.

The story of Ivan Boesky is a story of our discipline – our tools, our techniques, our capabilities – being used in ways perhaps not intended.

But nevertheless, reflective of risk management being a game anyone can play.

According to the Law of Accelerating Returns, in a technology driven world – such as the one we now live in – change is both concurrent and exponential. Every advance feeds on the previous advance, not only hastening the rate of change, but also shortening the lifespan of an advance before it’s superseded.

It’s not always easy to find real life examples of the Law of Accelerating Returns, outside of the medical world, which is the environment within which Kurzweil formulated the Law. But Vine – the short-form social media platform – whose original format lasted just three years - is a perfect example of the Law in action. Of VINE coming into existence because of exponential change, and churning out, for the same reason.

On this week’s Whatever Happened To episode, I look at the rise – and fall – of Vine. And I explore why – in a world of rapid change and where our abilities to entreat with the unknown will be challenged - why we all need to understand, and prepare to adapt for, the Law of Accelerating Returns.

On May 7 2021, the Colonial Pipeline, a fuel pipeline operating out of Houston, Texas, and serving 45% of the US east coast, was shut down, due to hackers infiltrating its systems and impacting equipment critical to the operation of the pipeline.

The resultant impacts – everything from fuel shortages to flight disruptions to increased hacking activity (industry agnostic) – were a stark reminder of the criticality of infrastructure in our day to day lives. And how quickly we fall apart when infrastructure is compromised.

The Colonial Pipeline crisis is a story where all the warnings signs were there, and yet the risk still manifested. On today’s episode, I’ll take you through what happened. The impacts. How it was resolved. And I will bring you the lessons learned. Lessons not just for our organizations, but lessons for us as humans.

David Lynch is a curious cat. An accidental disruptor. A master of actively, consciously stepping into the void without fear or trepidation. There is something to be said about someone who sees the herd, knows they have the capacity to outrun the herd if they wanted to, but still chooses their own unique creative path.

David Lynch’s life is a perpetual leaping off the cliff into the unknown, not knowing where he’ll land, but recognizing that the not knowing is what makes for a fun, and life-changing, journey.

On this week’s episode, let’s talk about how Payless disrupted the shoe market. Innovated its way to what seemed to be an unassailable competitive advantage. And then, how its decades of market dominance, all fell apart in a matter of years.

The story of Payless’ collapse. It’s nothing new. In many ways, it is proof that we don’t always learn from the past, which dooms us to a repeat performance in the future.

Jack Ma’s story is a story of how good stuff doesn’t just happen. You have to want it. Work for it. Chase it. Make sacrifices in the process. And learn to balance opportunity and threat so that you reap the benefits of the former and minimize the impacts of the latter.

You have to be a master of the risk universe. On today’s episode, I’ll explain why Jack Ma is the archetypal risk master. And what we – as practitioners and individuals - can take from his example.

The Medici Bank was, at its height, a conglomerate behemoth. The largest and most respected financial institution in Europe. An innovator and disruptor, establishing banking and accounting protocols, that exist to this day.

And then, in spectacular fashion, it collapsed. In a way so seminal that, even today, the collapse of the Medici Bank acts as a cautionary tale of what not to do. And not just because it was so impactful. But because the mistakes of the Medici Bank are mistakes we continue to see repeated in modern times.

The lessons that history teaches us: sometimes they are harder to truly learn than we think.

Barlow’s plan, as you will find out in this episode, was incredibly simple. So simple that it should have been detected the first time it was deployed. But it wasn’t. Indeed, Barlow was able to execute a total of 65 fraudulent transactions, using the same plan, over and over again before he was caught. And, it’s arguable that, the only reason he got caught wasn’t because the control environment finally woke up, but because Barlow himself got so cocky that his actions became impossible to ignore.

Growing up as a kid in Australia, these three women were the three I dreamed of being when I grew up. Not necessarily as a singer or a musician. I am a trained musician, but I am no singer.

When I say I dreamed of being them, I more refer to me somehow being able to mimic their self-assuredness. Embrace their willingness to step outside the boundaries. Somehow become as courageous as them when confronting and taming the unknown.

For a young mixed race kid in Australia in the 1970s and 1980s, and that was a hard time, let me tell you. As a mixed race kid who didn’t really know her place, and always felt out of place. These three women encouraged me to dream and to dream big.

So, today, a very personal exploration of three masters of everything. This won’t be the usual Risktory episode, heavy on facts, with a little opinion mixed in to bring it all together.

This will be a story of how these three women influenced me as a woman, and how their mastery of the unknown, influences me – to this day – as a risk practitioner.

Here in the US, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 has transitioned. From being seen as a necessary protection for – at the time - burgeoning tech companies. To a weapon now being wielded by, no longer burgeoning, but behemoth, tech companies to curate and – some say – weaponize – how information is disseminated.

On today’s episode of the Risktory Podcast, I explore exactly what Section 230 is and what it was intended to achieve. I look at why it has become problematic for so many. And I speculate the risk road forward for this controversial piece of legislation.

History often shows us that the best way to challenge that which is unfair, is to master - and subsequently transform - the institutions that define our daily lives. And that’s precisely what Walker did, all in the name of bettering the daily reality of African-Americans living in the reconstructionist era, post the end of the American Civil War.

Walker’s story is one of recognizing that risk is a long game, and that real change – sustainable, life altering – change. It takes patience, time, resilience and courage.

Walker’s story is one of recognizing that risk is a long game, and that real change – sustainable, life altering – change. It takes patience, time, resilience and courage.

Real time disruption – on this scale in terms of impact – is incredibly rare and, so, on this week’s episode. I unpack the GameStop crisis that is currently unfolding. How it happened. Why it happened. And what I think will happen next.

2020 will go down as one of the most volatile, unsettling and devastating in US history. The impeachment of President Donald Trump. COVID-19. The deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd which led to widespread civil unrest across the country. A bitterly fought Presidential Election.

In this episode, I will present my risk-based hypothesis on what is happening in the US. Why it may continue. And how the US will prevail. Because she will prevail.

Caveat: this is not an episode about politics. I have zero allegiance to any political party. I am a John Locke inspired Classic Liberal: neither the Democrats or Republicans possess platforms, at a holistic level, that I support. I am politically agnostic.

Today, I am bringing you the story of Richard Montanez, and the invention of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.

I often talk about opportunity, and the need to be able to both identify and spot it, but I don’t always talk about the bootstrapping that naturally accompanies opportunity.

The story of Richard Montanez is what happens when you have the ability to spot opportunity, and the discipline to see it through.

No, not the Australian Rock Band (but you should probably check them out). Powder monkeys were young boys (and occasionally girls) who served on warships from the mid 16th to 19th centuries.

The tale of the Powder Monkeys is proof that risk is a game anyone can play. These kids worked hard, took on threat, chased opportunity, and, in some instances, changed the course of history with their bravery.

Today, a vale for Australian actress, Joy Westmore. Now, for OG listeners of the podcast, you might be thinking ‘Westmore? Westmore? Why does that sound familiar’. Well, I have previously hosted my dear friend, Emily Westmore, on the podcast, on my Risktorian of the Month series of episodes. I will leave a link to Emily’s episode below.

Joy is Emily’s mother, who recently passed away. Today’s episode is a very personal tribute to a woman ahead of her time, and a woman who exemplified the need for versatility in a world that never stops changing.

The most popular episode of the Risktory Podcast this year has been my episode on the Nash Equilibrium vs COVID 19. As the US heads into another period of prolonged lockdown, and concerns are raised as to whether the Nash Equilibrium is even relevant anymore, on today’s episode, I’ll explain why I think the Nash Equilibrium will prevail.

Today I am going to explore how the actions of one man – a genuine peacemaker in the form of Stanislav Petrov - may have saved the world from nuclear annihilation.

And that might sound like hyperbole but, as you’ll find out in today’s episode, what Stanislav did was make a make a choice he didn’t have to make, that altered the direction of world history.

Today, I’m bringing you the story of Charles Ponzi, the man who launched a scam so clever that, even today, 70 years after his death, his scam continues to fool tens of thousands around the world.

They say history repeats. The story of Charles Ponzi, and Ponzi schemes, is proof positive that – sometimes – we don’t learn the lessons of the past well enough to avoid the threats of the future.

The 12 Days of Riskmas are my way of saying thank you to all of my listeners – both the OGs and the newer listeners – for their support in 2020. Each day, for the next twelve days, I will be publishing a new Risktory episode every day, with each episode focused on a risk theme or concept. These won’t be full length episodes: more bite sized pieces.

But they will be stories of risk that I think you guys will love in the leadup to one of my favorite holidays of the year, Christmas.

Kicking off the 12 Days of Riskmas is the story of Ana Reyes and Pat Harkleroad, a beautiful tale of opportunity grasped, and paying that opportunity forward.

You’ll often hear me say on the podcast, that opportunity is borne out of threat. The work of Doctors Ugur Sahin and Ozlem Tureci, the two driving forces behind the leading COVID-19 vaccine, is the poster child of how anyone can take incredible, existential, and in this case – global, once in a generational, threat – and respond through life changing, and life saving, opportunity chasing.

On today’s episode, I’ll explore how Doctors Sahin and Tureci formulated the COVID-19 vaccine.

The story of a husband and wife doctor team who have spearheaded the leading vaccine for COVID-19. You’ll often hear me say on the podcast, that...
You’ll often hear me say on the podcast, that opportunity is borne out of threat. The work of Doctors Ugur Sahin and Ozlem Tureci, the two driving forces behind the leading COVID-19 vaccine, is the poster child of how anyone can take incredible, existential, and in this case – global, once in a generational, threat – and respond through life changing, and life saving, opportunity chasing.

On today’s episode, I’ll explore how Doctors Sahin and Tureci formulated the COVID-19 vaccine.

And what I found blew me away. The life and times of Florence Knoll – in its most encapsulated form – is the story of a woman who was told ‘do this’, the ‘this’ being considered quote/unquote ‘womans work’ - and transforming that ‘womans work’ into a whole industry. And an assailable legacy.

On this week’s episode, the story of Florence Knoll, who is the personification of someone taking lemons and making perfect, life changing lemonade.

For me, Lehman Brothers is a super interesting collapse because, while it has all the ingredients of a garden variety corporate collapse – leadership malfeasance, creative accounting, short-selling – it is a collapse that uniquely transformed how we view and respond, to threat.

Specifically, it illustrated, in terrible and brutal technicolor glory, the impacts of interconnected threat. It forced us to recognize and understand that threat doesn’t exist in a vacuum. To paraphrase Sir Isaac Newton’s third law of physics in risk terms: every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

In this week’s episode of the Risktory Podcast, I’ll tell you all about the Lehman Brothers collapse, and I’ll explore why interconnected threat is one risk management concept, everyone should know.

Amidst the confusion, tension, anxiety and unrest here in the US, I thought I would provide a counter-point and talk about innovation born out of threat. Specifically, looking at innovations that have emerged in 2020 as a result of COVID-19.

Humans have always responded to existential threat, or risk, by seeking the new. The innovative. The ground breaking. Solutions that haven’t yet been discovered or deployed. The reality is, humans are an Apex species largely because of our capacity to adapt and change.

I figure, in these troubling times of the unknown, what better way to remind everyone that the flipside of threat is opportunity. Beautiful, perfect, exquisite, humankind changing opportunity.

So, today, let’s talk about some of the real-time innovations we are seeing that exemplify what it means to be good at risk.

I’ve hesitated covering Musk because. Yes he is absolutely a risk master. But perhaps not in the way you’d think.

Musk understands, and entreats with the unknown, in a once in a generation way, yes.

But the superlatives thrown his way. That he’s a visionary car maker, for example. Musk isn’t a great car maker. Indeed, he’s a distinctly ordinary car maker, given how miniscule Tesla’s profits are.

BUT… the fact that Tesla makes any profit at all…. That’s the risk genius that Musk manifests. It’s not the brand. It’s not the cars. It’s the competitive space that Musk has built around Tesla, to force profitability where it does not inherently exist, that is risk genius. And it’s a genius he applies to almost everything he does.

On this week’s episode, the life and times of a risk master with a definite twist.

My topic this year was the Top 10 Bad Arses of Risk, and why they matter in 2020. And I had a blast with this topic because it forced me to examine what I value when it comes to risk: the skills, the expertise, the chutzpah. It was a joy to research. It was the most fun to present.

And then, in 2000, it all went bust. In the space of just six months, the Nasdaq dropped by close to 80% in value. It would take 15 years for the Nasdaq to fully recover to it its pre-bubble peak.

I think the idea of a Dot Com Bubble 2.0 is an interesting one, particularly in 2020 when we’ve seen just about every other black swan event come to life. In today’s episode, I’m going to explore whether a second iteration of what happened 20 years ago will come to life, and I look at what I think are the pre-emptive, canary in a coal mine, indicators we should be looking out for.

And then something happened. Loyal customers began to complain that DevaCurl was no longer helping their hair. Worse, they alleged, DevaCurl had damaged their hair. Dandruff. Itching. Hairloss. Even allegations of chemical burns.

Almost overnight, DevaCurl has gone from being the darling of the natural hair care world to, for many, the enemy. And at least 10 class action lawsuits have been filed against the brand by allegedly impacted consumers.

On this week’s episode, I explore the DevaCurl Scandal, and I delve into what I think of DevaCurl’s response, from a crisis management perspective.

It was and is, arguably, the first mainstream brand to successfully target the curly hair market with products that allowed both men and women to...
And then something happened. Loyal customers began to complain that DevaCurl was no longer helping their hair. Worse, they alleged, DevaCurl had damaged their hair. Dandruff. Itching. Hairloss. Even allegations of chemical burns.

Almost overnight, DevaCurl has gone from being the darling of the natural hair care world to, for many, the enemy. And at least 10 class action lawsuits have been filed against the brand by allegedly impacted consumers.

On this week’s episode, I explore the DevaCurl Scandal, and I delve into what I think of DevaCurl’s response, from a crisis management perspective.

But, I’m gonna be honest, QE2 isn’t someone I would consider good at risk. She isn’t or wasn’t a reformer. At least, not like Queen Victoria or even her predecessor in name, Queen Elizabeth I. Her approach to risk is one of waiting for the risk to manifest, and then either responding by not responding, or responding by cleaning up the mess. Which is a strategy, I guess, but not one I consider to be particularly masterful.

But the requests did start to make me think about female rulers and monarchs who were masters of risk. And when it comes to those, I can’t go past the legendary, Holy Roman Empress, Maria Theresa of Austria. Now often better known for being the mother of the doomed Maria-Antoinette of France, Maria-Theresa was a risk maestro. In a world where women were often secondary players, Maria-Theresa defined what it meant to be a female ruler. And she defined what it meant to understand, and respond to, the unknown.

I didn’t know about the Mark 14 before Mike’s email, but when I started doing research on it… oh man, if ever there was an event that exemplified how not to risk (and I’m using risk as a verb there)… the Mark 14 is that event. From poor planning to poor execution, the Mark 14 is a masterclass of what not to do when it comes to risk management.

But the Mark 14 is also a tale of risk redemption. Of how to turn around disaster and achieve, perhaps not triumph, but at least some measure of success.

As many of you also know, the US had a Category 4 hurricane hit in the Gulf of Mexico during the week. Hurricane Laura.

As you can imagine, it’s been a pretty busy 10 days. And, to be honest, I haven’t had the time this week to research and construct a typical Risktory episode.

So, instead, this week’s episode will be a QandA episode. A lot of you have asked for this. A lot of you have asked me a lot of questions. So what better time to answer all of those questions than this week, when I am time poor and in an episode where research isn’t necessarily required because… it’s all my opinion.

For many, the name Bo Diddley doesn’t instantly resonate. But if you know Fade Away by Buddy Holly, Faith by George Michael, Mr Brownstone by Guns and Roses, Desire by U2. If you know any of those songs, then you know Bo Diddley.

Because the beat that runs through those songs. Bo Diddley invented. He invented a syncopated beat that took the blues of the south, with all its deep references to sub-saharan music traditions, infused it with electronica distortion, and created a sound that transformed the burgeoning genre that was rock and rock in the 1950s in the US, and turned it into a mainstream juggernaut.

Bo Diddley was a true master of the unknown. A classic disruptor. An expert innovator. On today’s episode, I’ll explore how a kid from McComb, Mississippi became a music legend.

It’s also a story of why getting the fundamentals right is critical when entreating with the unknown. Risk is a game where, the stronger you are, the more resilient you are, and the more prepared you are for both opportunity and threat… the more likely you are to prevail.

Within a month of its launch in 2003, it had an incredible 1 million users and those numbers grew exponentially. At its peak in the mid 2000s, myspace had 100 million users per month. 1 billion user accounts. More people clicked on myspace than they did google.

And then, something happened. The bottom dropped out of myspace.

Ascending to the French throne when he was just four years old, and subsequently ruling France for an astonishing 72 years until his death in 1715, Louis XIV was an aggressive, disruptive opportunist.

A man who redefined France and what it meant to be French, through a curated blend of defending against threat and chasing opportunity. A man who, incidentally, was so brilliant that he had a whole American state named after him: Louisiana.

In this week’s episode, I’ll explore Louis’ childhood and the genesis of his risk management expertise. I’ll delve into his major achievements – such as his centralization of control, Versailles, the Royal Court, and Louis’ prowess in war – and I’ll explain why I think the Sun King was, and is, a risk master.

The Stonewall Rebellion is a story of many colors:
• It’s a story of the oppressed emerging into the light to claim what was rightfully theirs.
• It’s a story that illustrates why appeasement. Bowing to the mob. As a self-preservation strategy, never works.
• It’s a story of how change – true, sustained, beautiful change – can incubate from that which seems unlikely.
• And because this is a risk podcast, after all, the Stonewall Rebellion is a story of, not just of how you turn threat into opportunity, but how you take that opportunity, mould it, and transform it into sustained outcomes for the better.

This episode may be upsetting or distressing for some. There is explicit language. Listener discretion is advised.

How did one of the OG disruptors of the book business, become the disrupted.
In this week’s episode, I look at the rise – and fall – of Borders Books. What they did right. What they did wrong. And I’ll explore the one thing Borders’ Arch Nemesis – Barnes and Nobles did – that Borders didn’t.

And I’ll share with you all, my theory on how that one thing may have made all the difference.

From escaping slavery, to the emancipation of African-Americans, to advocating for women's rights, Frederick Douglass' understanding of risk was, truly, next level. It was a pure and exquisite recognition and understanding of risk as both threat and opportunity.

It was a recognition – and I think this is a recognition that has been somewhat lost in modern times and in modern risk management. It was a recognition – that every threat. Every obstacle. Every SNAFU. It wasn’t the end game. It was just an opportunity waiting to be exploited. And when it came to turning threat on its head, and taking advantage of opportunity, Frederick Douglass was an OG.

This week’s episode is an admitted homage to one of my favorite historical figures.

What is key in the WeWork scandal is the lack of a symbiotic relationship between innovation and risk-based governance. In my mind, one can’t effectively thrive without the other fueling a competitive tension that forces exceptionalism in both.

WeWork was supposed to be the next Amazon. The next Airbnb. The next Alibaba. Instead, there is the very real possibility that WeWork may become just another footnote in the history of failed startups. Snuggled up against Theranos.

If you’ve read the book, and or seen the movie, The Pursuit of Happyness, you will know who Chris Gardner is. An African-American entrepreuner who bootstrapped his way out of poverty and did so through an unshakeable resilience when it came to taking on risk.

Life is kinda unpredictable. Gardner knew that from a very young age. And he responded by doubling down, refusing to allow himself to be conquered by misfortune, and he made a conscious decision to do better and be better. Turning threat into opportunity. With resilience as his wingman.

With everything that is happening in the US today, the story of Chris Gardner and Gardner Rich and Co is a story I think many of us need to hear right now.

He was commonly referred to as Stormin Norman, a reference to what is described as a legendary temper. But while he could be what many called difficult – I’m guessing you don’t get to be a US General by being polite and softly spoken – a look at Schwarzkopf’s life reveals a man with a deep intellectual curiosity for the world around him, a man who took great heed of the lessons of the past, and a man who understood the unknown, the risk, and tackled it head on

On today’s episode, I look at a master of the risk craft. And a man who, on Memorial Day, deserves all the accolades the US can muster.

The idea of using opportunity to fend off threat isn’t new, but in the risk management world, particularly in the last 10 to 15 years, the general response to threat is to bunker down and defend. To retreat into your shell, weather out the storm, and then resume business as usual.

The reality it, KFC wouldn’t exist if Harland Sanders, aka Colonel Sanders, had retreated. KFC exists because Sanders – in the face of existential threat– came out swinging with opportunity as his ride or die partner.

The KFC Origin Story is a story of inspiring resilience, eternal optimism and, to quote the great philosopher, Billy Ocean, when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

This week, as US states grapple with whether to re-open their economies, or remain on lockdown as a response to COVID-19, I am going to use the Nash Equilibrium as a way of explaining what is happening, why it’s happening, and what may potentially happen in the future.

The Nash Equilibrium isn’t a silver bullet that will resolve the angst over COVID-19. But, in my opinion, it helps to explain why we are seeing what we are seeing. And, in turn, it helps to explain what can be done differently to smooth the bumpy road that will be cities, states and countries re-opening, and resuming the new normal.

The reality is, Toys R Us had always been a troubled organization, ever since it opened its doors. It had never built bench strength. It had never built core resilience into its structures, it’s operating models, even its assets.

The final blow to Toys R Us might not have taken out another organization. But when you have an organization with decades of fractures and weaknesses woven throughout its fabric… the collapse of this iconic brand was all but inevitable.

The 66th US Secretary of State. The 20th National Security Advisor. The 10th Provost of Stanford University. An individual who has faced pretty much every trial you can imagine – personally and professionally - and triumphed.

Condoleezza Rice. Condi is a person who has chosen paths in life that many others would not have chosen. Her life has been driven by an almost impervious moral compass and confidence in self that has propelled her to take on both threat and opportunity with seeming ease. She has withstood many an attack on her character, her sex, her race, her politics… and stands tall every time while her foes wither.

And when it comes to battle, Condi’s the kind of person you always want in your risk foxhole.

I figured that – this week – in contrast - Risktory would focus on seven stories of those who beat the odds to win. An episode focused on the resilience of the human spirit. An episode honoring those who have taken on threat, been told no, been laughed at, mocked, and, yet, still prevailed.

No-one – NO-ONE – has ever won a war through pessimism. We won’t beat COVID-19 through sadness and watching the counter tick over on CNN. We will beat COVID-19 through resilience and courage prevailing over fear. We will beat COVID-19 when we understand that risk is ubiquitous but that we’ve always had the tools – and history proves this time and time again - to overcome the danger of the unknown.

This week’s episode should make you smile. Forget the minutiae of a COVID-19 quarantine. And inspire you to take on everything that comes at you. Because that’s what risk management and crisis management is all about.

Now many of you know I lead a Command Center for a Fortune 50 retailer, and that I am heavily involved in the frontlines of my organization’s COVID-19 response. This episode is not, in any way shape or form about the work I’m doing leading that Command Center. I always keep my day job and Risktory separate on principle.

This is an episode, however, based on my over twenty years experience working in crisis management, about the five simple and easily implementable principles and practices all organizations – small, medium or large, industry agnostic – what they should be thinking about during this time. The universal principles and practices that will make a difference for your organization, your employees, your customers and your communities.

So, not the usual Risktory fare, but I think – during these unprecedented times – it seems the right time to release an episode like this.

I hope it helps those of you navigating COVID-19. One thing I will say to all those worried and/or concerned about the future. This will pass. The world will restore to a new normal. And we will be ok.

Alan Mulally walked into a company that was bleeding money and losing market share and transformed everything, building into Ford a core strength and resilience that would see it return as a powerhouse of car manufacturing.

This is a great story of opportunity chasing. Meeting risk head on. And making hard, but inspiring decisions. All in the name of saving an American icon from destruction.

Before I begin, thank you to all of my listeners for being so understanding as to why I couldn’t release an episode last week. Many of you know, I lead a Command Center for a Fortune 50 Retailer and – well – COVID-19. Quite possibly the biggest event of our lifetime and I’m working a minimum of 12 hours a day, seven days a week, serving my fellow employees and our customers.

I’m doing my best to balance my family, my day job and the podcast and I’m hopeful that – going forward – there will be no further interruptions to my podcasting schedule. Thank you for your patience.

Like all corporate collapses, the seeds of Thomas Cook’s destruction were sewn long before the final coup de grace. Ill-thought through acquisitions. A ‘bloated retail footprint’. An inability to keep up with the increasing commoditization of the travel market.

In the end, the collapse of Thomas Cook was less than an overnight collapse, and more of, what website skift.com calls ‘a disaster played out in slow motion’.

The world’s first private international spacecom project, PanAmSat. She not only wrote the thesis that acted as a genesis for idea. She launched it.

The world’s first global satellite radio network, WorldSpace. She created it.

The world’s first non-geostationary satellite to car system, Sirius Radio? THE Sirius radio? She invented it.

And, when her daughter was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension, and her daughter was given three months to live, Martine invested her own money to develop treatments that transformed – not just her daughter’s life – but the lives of thousands across the world.

And she’s still going. Most recently launching the world’s first net-zero office building, which is powered by a range of technologies (including solar power, geothermal walls, and electrochromic glass) and which operates with zero carbon footprint.

On this week’s episode of the Risktory episode, I’m going to explore the life and times of a disruptor and innovator who is considered to be one of the greatest – and in my opinion, one of the most underrated and under-recognized - minds of the last century.

And I’m going to talk about three key traits that I believe all disruptors and innovators – including Martine Rothblatt – possess: three traits that distinguish them from the population at large.

That terrible idea? Airbnb. And don’t just take my word for it that it was – at least initially – a terrible idea. Airbnb Co-Founder, Brian Chesky has, himself, said: 'A number of people have said that Airbnb is the worst idea… that ever worked'.

In today’s episode, I’ll take you through the startup story of Airbnb. How founders Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia turned opportunity into a fledgling business model. How the three stayed resilient as their little idea that could, almost didn’t. And I’ll explore why sometimes, taking on risk is less about being certain that you’re mitigated the unknown, as much as it is taking an exhilarating, life changing leap of faith into the unknown.

But which, in the end, turned out to be an opportunity that made three twenty-something kids with a terrible idea, billionaires. That...
That terrible idea? Airbnb. And don’t just take my word for it that it was – at least initially – a terrible idea. Airbnb Co-Founder, Brian Chesky has, himself, said: 'A number of people have said that Airbnb is the worst idea… that ever worked'.

In today’s episode, I’ll take you through the startup story of Airbnb. How founders Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia turned opportunity into a fledgling business model. How the three stayed resilient as their little idea that could, almost didn’t. And I’ll explore why sometimes, taking on risk is less about being certain that you’re mitigated the unknown, as much as it is taking an exhilarating, life changing leap of faith into the unknown.

Two crashes. 346 lives lost. And a whole host of questions about:

a)Why did the planes crash?
b)What went wrong?
c)Did Boeing know the 737 MAX was compromised?
d)And how effectively has Boeing managed the problems surrounding the 737 Max?

On this week’s episode, I’ll tackle all of those questions. And I’ll offer my opinion on whether Boeing can come back from the Boeing 737 MAX.

Now, if you ask most people what happened to Blockbuster in the mid 2000s, the instantaneous answer is…. Netflix. Netflix killed Blockbuster.

Ehhh, not quite. While there’s no question that Netflix (and other on-demand video services, like RedBox) were a contributing factor, and perhaps even the coup ge grace, the seeds of Blockbuster’s destruction had been sewn far, far earlier.

What happened in the mid 2000s to Blockbuster was a perfect storm of variables - some within the giant’s control vs others that flew out of nowhere – which came home to roost. Variables that, when realized concurrently, made decline all but inevitable.

This week I will take you through the decline of Blockbuster: how it happened, why it happened, and whether it could have been avoided.

I wanted to know more given that, in other parts of Europe, such as the Netherlands, only 25% of Dutch Jews survived. Why was that. As I dug more into why they survived, and how they survived, I realized this was a story of how the Danes protected their Jewish population by responding to the unknown via what NewRepublic.com called, ‘solidarity and decency… a dense tissue of connection among people, on long-formed habits of the heart, on resilient cultures of common citizenship, and on leaders who marshaled these virtues by their example. In Denmark, this dense tissue bound human beings together and indirect rule made it impossible for the Germans to rip it apart’.

Today, I explore just how the Danes stood shoulder to shoulder with their Jews during WW2, thwarting every attempt by the Germans to force the Danes to simply hand them over.

The early 2000s saw this iconic British brand disintegrating as a direct consequence of, what would later emerge to be, extremely damaging strategic and operating model decisions.

For a moment there, it almost seemed like the proud Burberry brand was a dead man walking.

And then, American retail superstar, Angela Arendts, strode into Burberry and, as its newly anointed CEO, boldly decided that the best defense was a fabulous – opportunity driven - offense.

In this week’s episode, I’ll explore how Burberry used opportunity to come back from the brink.

I will be taking you through the cheating scandal surrounding Major League Baseball team, the Houston Astros. How the scandal unfolded, the conduct and results of a subsequent investigation by Major League Baseball Commissioner, Rob Manfred, and the lessons we can learn from this crisis that is unfolding in real time.

When you think of risk management, you don’t automatically think of Madonna, but the Material Girl is a risk master. She was and still is an innovator. A Disruptor. A master of navigating the unknown. And she is someone who never waited for opportunity to knock: instead opting to chase and hunt in order to win.

Coming up in this week’s episode of the Risktory Podcast, I’ll take you through how Madonna, from the gate, was destined to be a global superstar, not by luck or good fortune, but by being someone who – from a child - understood the risk game and always – always – played to win.

The Risktory Podcast is created, written, produced and hosted by Jacinthe A Galpin. Jacinthe’s favorite Madonna song of all time is Burning Up, closely followed by Holiday.

And will the highly anticipated release of the smartphone Motorola Razr in 2020 help turn the tide for this iconic brand?

On the evening of February 24 1942, just months after the US had entered World War II, it looked like Los Angeles was about to come under attack by the Japanese. US forces immediately mobilized to take on the threat and to defend the city… and then…. nothing happened.

In this week’s episode, I will explore the concept of imagined risk. Risk that doesn’t exist but which appears real enough, and present enough, that we act. Next week, via the 1942 Battle of Los Angeles, I’ll take you through how imagined risk is triggered. How it manifests. And what we – as practitioners – can do to avoid the utterly avoidable.

The Sydney Australia crime scene of the 1920s was pure helter-skelter. Drugs. Prostitution. Immense and unapologetic violence. In response, the New South Wales government introduced a raft of legislative measures that it thought would tame Sydney: prohibition of drugs, prohibition of street prostitution, the closing of all pubs at six pm every night, and the criminalization of
handguns.

The government’s measures did nothing to stem the tide of illegal activity: if anything it emboldened Sydney’s criminals who – in true contrarian Australian fashion – doubled down. We’re gonna do the drugs. We’ll move our prostitutes off the streets and into brothels. We’ll set up speak-easies, or sly grogs, as they’re called in Australia. And if you’re gonna take our guns, we’ll use razors against our enemies.

Sydney’s criminal fraternity took what was already an out of control scene, and turned it up to 11: triggering the now famous, Razor Wars.

Churchill didn’t invent anything. He didn’t disrupt anything. But his understanding of risk. His taking on of opportunity. His capacity to read his context, instantly understand the pros and cons, and formulate a strategy….

Mad Jack Churchill is one of the greats when it comes to taking action on the unknown. And that’s because, and I will go into this in some depth during this week’s episode, he brings to life the idea of the risk ‘everyman’. The idea that anyone can manage risk effectively. That every tool, every technique, ever method available to manage the unknown… Mad Jack illustrates that we all have the capacity to successfully entreat with the unknown.

Plus, dude fought the Nazis with a sword.

Such is the case with one of my favorite places on earth: Dollywood. Dollywood was established by the legendary Dolly Parton in 1986. As you’ll find out in this week’s episode, Dolly was told by those that ought to know – accountants, lawyers, business advisors - that the idea of a family friendly theme park nestled in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee was not a good idea. That she would lose and she would lose big.

This week, I’ll take you through how Dolly Parton saw potential where others didn’t. How she turned that potential into opportunity. And how she throttled that opportunity to create – in 2019 - the number one ticketed tourist attraction in Tennessee.

And to use Napoleon’s trajectory to illustrate what good decision making looks like versus what bad decision making looks like.

Emily Bronte was a disruptor, innovating a style of writing that was unlike anything that had come before, a style of writing that would, eventually, revolutionize the writing world.
But she was a quiet disruptor. An ‘easter egg’ disruptor. She wasn’t a Thomas Edison, or Ray Kurzweil or even Elon Musk, who were and are larger than life behemoths in the world of disruption. Bronte innovated from the shadows, hiding her disruption in her poetic prose and lyrical words. Comfortable being an introvert and never feeling compelled to be anything other than what she was.

In this week’s episode, I’ll explore the life of the quiet disruptor, Emily Bronte, and how she came to write one of the most innovative, fascinating and revolutionary books of all time.

Unfortunately for IBM, their advantage was not to last. Once competitors – such as Dell - figured out what IBM were doing, they not only copied IBM’s business model. They did it better and, very rapidly, eroded IBM’s market dominance. In 1993, IBM posted what was then corporate America’s biggest ever loss of $8 billion dollars.

What did IBM do? It reinvented. Just as it had done before, but this time with a focus on building an operating model that would be truly resilient. On this week’s episode, I’ll explore the reinvention of IBM. And I’ll identify what IBM did to skirt around threat and chase opportunity to build for itself a resilient operating model that has – so far - stood the test of time.

Just as an interesting historical aside. The son of gang member, Bruce Reynolds, Nick, would go on to become a musician, forming a band, Alabama 3, who penned the song ‘Woke Up This Morning’. A song that would become the opening theme song of long running drama, The Sopranos.

Former People: The Final Days of the Russian Aristocracy – Douglas Smith]]>833grigorirasputin,rasputin,risk,riskmanagement,risktory,risktorypodcast,russiafalse3fullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-54th-regiment--18953311
The story of the 54th Regiment is incredibly inspiring from a human perspective. From a risk perspective, this is a story of opportunity grasped by a group of free men determined to see their African-American brothers and sisters released from the tyranny of slavery. A chance for them to see justice served, backed by the might of the Union Army.

The emergence and eventual prominence of the 54th Regiment, and their unassailable place in the history books, is what the discipline of risk management was invented for.

This is a cracking tale from the past that exemplifies a concept that, Christian Hunt, the May Risktorian of the Month (link below to that episode), calls human risk. The German plan was solid with multiple layers of defense that had been carefully curated to succeed even when compromised. The one variable the Germans had not countenanced, or planned for, was the behavior of humans. Not factoring human behavior into their planning proved to be an achilles heel.

This week’s episode will explore the idea that you can have the best risk processes, structures and systems in place, but if you ignore the behavior of humans when interacting with risk… don’t be surprised when it all turns to custard.

I often speak on the podcast about opportunists and disruptors but, while I’ve dedicated a number of episodes to the disruptors – Edison, Tesla, Apgar, Parks, Bonaparte – I’ve never dedicated an episode to the wily, devious and always entertaining chess masters that are the pure opportunists. Until now.

On this week’s episode, I explore how Dudley was able to position Lady Jane Grey to become Queen, how he was able to almost effortlessly master a political landscape more volatile than a south American dictatorship, and how he – eventually – came undone, and lost his head.

The Waco Siege started with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (the ATF) attempting to serve a search warrant on a religious sect, the Branch Davidians (the ATF suspected the sect had been stockpiling illegal weapons), and it ended – 51 days later – with the deaths of 4 ATF agents and 82 Branch Davidians.

There’s a lot to unpack in the Waco Siege. I could probably do a whole month’s worth of episodes on the topic and still not get bored. In this week’s double episode, I’ll explore how the siege unfolded, the responses of both sides to risk (both threat and opportunity), and I’ll examine how risk misunderstood can end in absolute, preventable tragedy.

For me, this new feature is designed to promote the work of not just the amazing practitioners we have working in risk management, but to also embrace those who just get risk. So each month, I’ll host a guest on the podcast: from the risk practitioners redefining our space to the disruptors chasing opportunity to the entrepreneurs taking those massive leaps of risk faith.

The inaugural Risktorian of the Month is Alex Sidorenko. On this extended episode, I talk to Alex about all things risk: how he found himself workin in risk, what inspires and drives him and the most important question of all - butter or margarine?
