You won't believe what happened to my podcast recently!I released an episode titled "What Taylor Swift Can Teach Us About Podcasting" on January 30th. In it, I used Taylor Swift and her ever-changing music eras as a metaphor for adapting your podcast content and promotion strategies over time.Little did I know, that same weekend the episode launched, searches for "Taylor Swift" were completely banned on Twitter after some scandalous AI-generated images of her emerged online. This was really bad timing on my part and here's why: I rely heavily on Twitter for promoting my podcast and driving listeners to new episodes.A huge majority of my podcast downloads come directly from Twitter, and it's where most of my new listeners find me too. So when people suddenly couldn't search Taylor's name that week, it meant my podcast episode likely wasn't showing up in any Twitter searches either. (And I'd banked on that being a clever way to potentially reach some new listeners).I couldn't believe such an unforeseen consequence!As content creators, we can strategize search engine optimization and promotion plans, but we can't always predict what social platforms will restrict access to each day. Whether it's election censorship or COVID misinformation crackdowns, search bans happen more than we realize. While downloads stayed strong that week (thanks loyal listeners!!), this whole debacle made me realize I need to actively promote old episodes to capture new listeners from searches.So that's exactly what I'm going to do - rerun a special promotional campaign just for my Taylor Swift episode in case anyone looks her up now that the name ban has been lifted. You never know who may discover and subscribe to the show from it popping up in more keyword searches! I hope relaying my own podcast visibility challenges gives you some helpful tips and food for thought. When the algorithms seem to work against us, we have to get creative with repeating and repurposing content across multiple platforms. As the saying goes, the show must go on...even when our favorite pop star suddenly disappears from the Twitterverse!Timestamps:00:00:00 Intro00:00:49 Taylor Swift Searches Blocked on Twitter: A Complete Coincidence00:02:08 Twitter Ban Affects Content Discovery00:04:27 You Can't Always Control What Social Media Does or Doesn't Do00:06:12 Reflections and podcast promotion tipsHighlights:The impact of the Taylor Swift AI-generated n*de scandal on my podcastKeywords relating to my podcast episode being temporarily blocked on TwitterSearch engines and social media platforms censoring and blocking information during past eventsThe unpredictability of what might be banned or restricted at any given timeRunning campaigns to promote content and potentially reach new audiencesWhat I learnt from this whole experience and what it means for podcast marketing and promotion - including some podcasting tips for when a marketing campaign maybe doesn't go as plannedListen to Episode 66: What Taylor Swift Can Teach Us About Podcasting - https://lazygirlpod.captivate.fm/episode/ep-66-what-taylor-swift-can-teach-us-about-podcasting📧 Subscribe to the newsletter: https://veritysangan.com/newsletterFreebies:✅ Podcast Launch Checklist and Episode Planner – https://veritysangan.com/launchchecklist🎉 Grow Your Podcast...

Imagine a world where your organization is constantly at the risk of a cyber-attack, yet no solution seems fully secure. In this episode of Innovation In Compliance, host Tom Fox and guest Steve Horvath explore the complex landscape of supply chain cyber risk management. They explore the high-profile breaches of Home Depot and Target, as well as the critical importance of frameworks like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Steve delves into the challenges faced by organizations, the need for effective risk management strategies, and the evolving landscape of cybersecurity in public and private sectors.  Steve Horvath is a seasoned cybersecurity expert who has spent nearly two decades at Telos, a prominent cybersecurity firm focused on protecting government and industry networks. Since joining Telos in 2006, Steve has been instrumental in developing cybersecurity strategies and services for various elements of the U.S. federal government, including the intelligence community and the Department of Defense. Today, he leads the way in driving compliance and risk management initiatives with a focus on innovative solutions like Xacta. You’ll hear Tom and Steve discuss: Telos' platform, Xacta, began as a web-based application focused on facilitating the rigorous compliance activities of federal standards, and has since evolved into a sophisticated platform for managing cybersecurity risks. Cybersecurity risk is unique and highly challenging, and unlike other forms of risk, it doesn't lend itself to transference. Insurance policies won't save an organization from a devastating cyber attack. Many organizations, particularly public ones, need to shift their mentality from accepting some level of risk to striving for robust cybersecurity operations that minimize risk as much as possible. Education at the board level about the threats and implications of cybersecurity is a crucial yet often overlooked factor. The conversation around this is gaining traction, with initiatives such as the SEC's rule about having a board member with a cybersecurity background. The Home Depot and Target hacks brought widespread attention to cybersecurity risks, highlighting the need for organizations to be proactive in managing threats and vulnerabilities. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework provides a practical and easily understood framework for organizations to assess and improve their cybersecurity posture. It enables effective communication between security operators and the board, fostering a common language and understanding. Supply chain cybersecurity is a critical concern, particularly for software and IT hardware sourcing. Having a software bill of materials and understanding the ingredients within the software helps organizations assess their exposure and potential vulnerabilities. Network attack services refer to understanding an organization's attack surface and identifying potential points of ingress or exfiltration of data. Mitigating risks, such as phishing attacks, requires robust security education programs for users. Creating an actionable cyber intelligence strategy involves having the right stakeholders and roles within the organization, selecting a suitable framework (such as NIST or ISO standards), and ensuring continuous validation and improvement of cybersecurity measures. KEY QUOTE: “You really have to do exceptional cybersecurity operations, and the best way to influence cybersecurity operations… is having some teeth behind a set of conditions and compliance requirements that guide you toward making the best decision…" - Steve Horvath Resources: Steve Horvath on LinkedIn | Twitter Telos | Telos Corporation on Twitter

We talk about the pitfalls of internet culture on society and how it distracts from finding true value. Information is much less reliable and trustworthy than it used to be and its becoming more difficult to process it through platforms like Twitter. What are the solutions to this dilemma and how is it impacting the human psyche? Also, SEC is continuing its aggression toward blockchain and cryptocurrencies, which is resulting in a mass exodus out of the U.S. Many giant organizations like a16z, Coinbase, Kraken, and others have already announced their plans to establish themselves abroad in reaction to these policies. What will this do to America’s status as a hub for innovation? Also, we dive deeper into Bitmap, the newest Ordinal standard being proposed to act as a foundation layer to the metaverse. This is a big deal because never has there been a standard for the metaverse and for it to all exist on the most secure and highest value blockchain in the universe, is a tremendous narrative. Topics: First up, we take a look at misinformation Online Next, we compare a Zombie Apocalypse to Covid Then, Garry Gensler from the SEC is attacking Crypto and Finally, we discover a new standard for the metaverse on Bitcoin called Bitmap Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!
