When we think of the term "influencer", we tend to think about YouTubers who promote makeup, skin care or fitness equipment and share their posts with millions of followers. But what does a resilience influencer look like?
Hello everyone and welcome to episode 248 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group!
Here's the truth. Like it or not, we all have a brand.
This week, we are thrilled to be joined by Katherine Tuominen as we talk about what it takes for each of us to develop our own personal brand and become influencers of good resilience practices. Leveraging her expertise as founder of Catalyst Brand Strategy, Katherine encourages us to speak in terms that our audience and stakeholders expect.
She says content is critical to our brand development and gives advice on how to properly use AI when developing content. Katherine suggests that we master the art of self promotion by keeping a running thread of our wins and compliments.

If you ate at a fast food restaurant in certain U.S. states in June and July, you ran the risk of having...let's say...less than desirable results. Our guest this week had her own stomach turn at one company's response.
Hello everyone and welcome to episode 247 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group!
This week, Mark sits down with Gina Clementi, fractional CMO, brand strategist, and founder of Good Story. They explore her recent Substack article about the Cyclospora outbreak. Gina examines how two companies responded very differently when faced with the same crisis. One focused on its own interests, while the other prioritized the needs of consumers.
The conversation also looks at how the current political climate contributed to the situation and Gina warns that communication strategies that may succeed in politics can be damaging during a corporate crisis.

If you're a member of a regional or national BCM networking group, you're probably familiar with the model. Pay an annual fee, attend some meetings, get some content. But you might not understand why so many of these groups struggle to survive.
Hello everyone and welcome to episode 243 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group!
This week, we are joined by Paul Striedl to discuss: Why BCM Networking groups are failing. Paul says BCM networking groups should thrive because, there is a lack of advanced training for seasoned professionals in our field. Paul suggests their failure has something to do with governing bodies and how they count continuing education units. Paul talks about the business model of these groups, members responsibilities and the role of vendors.
Mark gets on his soap box about vendor content. And Paul suggests the fix to the problem is not that complicated.

For years, resilience professionals focused on cyber attacks, weather events, and technology outages. Today, some of the biggest threats to business operations originate thousands of miles away. The question is, are we paying attention?
Hello everyone and welcome to episode 242 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group!
This week, Mark explores why geopolitical risk has become a critical concern for resilience professionals. Using Taiwan as a case study, we examine how a Chinese blockade could disrupt global trade, cripple semiconductor supply chains, and create a business continuity event for your organization. More importantly, we discuss why resilience professionals must look beyond traditional operational risks and develop a deeper understanding of global dependencies, supply chain vulnerabilities and the geopolitical events that could become tomorrow's business crisis.
