In this Playbook, Max Clark sorts vendor lies into three categories, a harmless stretch, one rep's invented promise, and a lie the whole company stands behind, and gives a different response for each. Then he turns the… [Listen](https://media.transistor.fm/044694f8/6cdedc6a.mp3) ## [Damian Cotter: Japan’s NBA Ambition, Yuki Kawamura & His Coaching Future | #266](https://soundcloud.com/user-913869824/damian-cotter-japans-nba) _2026-08-18 · Sporting Max_ In episode 266, Max chats with Australian basketball coach Damien Cotter!

Is It Lying?](https://itbroker.com/podcast/your-security-tool-says-youre-protected-is-it-lying) _2026-08-12 · ITBroker.com · Signed_ Your security tool says you're protected. Most of the time nothing is lying to you on purpose. It's just reporting what it was configured to report, whether or not anyone ever checked if that setup was correct in the first place. Zach Stewart, CISO and Director of IT at Steno, spends this conversation walking through exactly where that gap hides, and it's not only the tool. There's the BAA that… [Listen](https://media.transistor.fm/d2e53b10/de52940a.mp3) ## [Your Security Vendor Can't Tell You If Their Product Works](https://www.itbroker.com/podcast/ai-agents-read-your-site-in-under-1-000-tokens) _2026-08-04 · ITBroker.com · Signed_ Your website is no longer read only by people. Tony Lauro opens this episode with a client whose sequential order numbers let a competitor read their daily volume through a public API. No breach. No alert. Just a number counting up in plain sight.

It caught the attack. It fired five separate alerts. Then nothing happened, because the system could watch, but it couldn't act. That gap between detecting a threat and stopping it is where most MDR contracts fail their buyers. Max Clark recently evaluated a well… [Listen](https://media.transistor.fm/62afe07b/59bfde34.mp3) ## [Simon Madden: The Truth About Essendon's Future | #262](https://soundcloud.com/user-913869824/simon-madden-the-truth-about) _2026-07-27 · Sporting Max_ In episode 262, Max chats with Essendon legend Simon Madden!

It sits there looking harmless until a patent troll shows up. By then you cannot renegotiate it. In 2025, patent trolls filed more than half of all U.S. patent lawsuits. In high tech, it was over 90%. More than half their targets were companies under $25 million in revenue. They are not chasing Apple.
