In this week's episode, we’re exploring one of the most important — and sometimes misunderstood — areas of modern technology: cloud computing. This invisible backbone powers everything from the apps on our phones to the systems that run global enterprises. The cloud has transformed how we store, process, and protect data, bringing huge benefits in speed, scalability, and innovation. But, those advantages come with some tough challenges — from managing security risks and compliance to keeping ...
In this week's episode, we’re diving into one of the most transformative approaches in modern software development — Agile. This is more than just a buzzword or a set of rituals; Agile represents a mindset shift that’s changed how teams build, collaborate, and deliver value. Join us as we explore what makes Agile successful, the benefits organizations can expect when it’s done right, and what it really takes to lead an Agile transformation — from individuals and teams to the entire enterprise...
We've talked a lot about AI this season, but this week we're discussing its place in Education with one of our own, Ari Moreland. Artificial Intelligence is reshaping classrooms across the country.

We’ll also review how tech giants like Google are looking to dominate the space with tools like Note...
This week we're joined by Bryan Robertson, Moser's Senior Recruiter. He's here to discuss a hot-button issue in the job market—Artificial Intelligence and the job search. AI tools are everywhere now: people use them to write resumes, polish cover letters, and even prepare for interviews. But while AI can be a helpful tool, it can actually hurt your chances of landing the job if used incorrectly or irresponsibly. We’ll talk about some of the biggest mistakes candidates make when relying on AI,...

Moser's Hersey Richardson is joining us again to discuss how it's changing, why it's harder to detect, and what you can do to stay ahead. We've come a long way from the days of clumsy emails promising lottery winnings. Today's phishing is a sophisticated cyber threat powered by AI, deepfakes, and psychological manipulation. Attacker...
Malinda Lowder, Moser's Director of Sales and Marketing is joining us today to talk about the role of thought leadership in business and why it matters. In 2009, a relatively unknown speaker took the stage at a TEDx event in Puget Sound. His idea? That people don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it. That speaker was Simon Sinek—and within a few short years, his 'Start With Why' framework became a north star for leaders across industries. Not because he shouted the loudest, ...

In this week's episode, two of Moser Consulting's own, Jim McKean and Marcus Reed, join us to discuss The Overton Window and how to control it. The Overton Window concept describes the range of ideas or policies considered socially acceptable or politically possible at any given moment. Named after Joseph Overton, a policy analyst, the idea suggests that public perception sets the boundaries of what's feasible. This means that for any idea to gain traction, it first must fall within this 'win...
