    Episode 224 - Good Governance: Resilience Edition with Andrea Davis
    Mar 2 2026

    Have you ever written a resilience report and presented it to your executives or the Board, but no one read it? This week's guest says there's one reason it's not being read: It's because the report isn't relevant. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 224 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group! This week we are joined once again by resilience entrepreneur and philanthropist Andrea Davis. Andrea and Mark talk about resilience program governance and reporting. Andrea explains that we struggle with governance because we don't have a seat at the table and we're not seen as part of the operation of the organization. Andrea explains that we must know our organization and must be able to articulate risks using language the executives will understand. And she says we need to stop whining about how important we are and start reporting with confidence to showcase our relevance.

    Feb 22 2026

    This week's guest says he's concerned about the societal impact of AI. He calls it an asteroid that is coming for us and we need to harness its power. And without question, AI is the biggest change in the threat landscape. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 223 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group! We're happy to be joined this week by Ed Gaudet, founder of Censinet, a SAAS risk management solution for the healthcare industry.

Ed and Mark talk about how today’s threats are different, and that leaders need to be transformative. He says it’s time to tear down the silos and start looking at business processes horizontally. People, process, and technology all need to be connected.

    Episode 222 - The Trouble With Green Dashboards, Terry Downing
    Feb 16 2026

    This week's guest says we need to be careful if our focus is on our status indicators always showing green. If having a green dashboard is more important than your resilience capability, you could be at risk of sleepwalking into a crisis. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 222 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group! This week we are joined by resilience industry icon Terry Downing. Terry catches us up with some of the excellent work he's doing writing articles on LinkedIn and his new podcast - "Resilience By Default". Terry and Mark talk about why business continuity and operational resilience programs fail. He emphasizes the need for senior executive leadership engagement. And he says that a green dashboard isn't the sign of resilience, it's the sign of fear. But Terry doesn't leave it there - he provides great advice for what we can do about it. =============================================================== Be sure to follow The Resilient Journey!

    Feb 2 2026

    Every once in a while at the Resilient Journey, we change our schedule. But we never do it unless there is a very good reason. This week it changed because, as our guest says, geopolitics is a hot topic in Boardrooms everywhere.

Continuing our conversation last week with Regina Phelps, Chloe and Mark talk about Greenland, the Baltic States, Eastern Europe and geopolitics in general. But this isn't just a conversation about politics. It's a "so what" moment for resilience professionals. The key part of this episode is when Chloe explains what all of this means to our industry and what we as resilience professionals should be doing about it. =============================================================== Be sure to follow The Resilient Journey!

    Episode 219: The World Economic Forum, Davos & Resilience with Regina Phelps
    Jan 26 2026

    Here at the Resilient Journey podcast we get a lot of requests from people to be on the show. But when an industry icon and a friend of the podcast says she wants to come back, the answer is an immediate yes. You won't want to miss this. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 219 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group! This week we welcome Regina Phelps back to the podcast. Regina originally wanted to talk about the World Economic Forum's Global Risk Report - and why it matters to us in resilience. But in addition to that, she wanted to touch on Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech in Davos. Regina says, "If you think about how businesses run, you will realize just how much we are impacted by what's going on, on the world stage." If you're a US based company and do any work or get any supplies outside the US, things are going to change. And as resilience professionals, that matters. =============================================================== Be sure to follow The Resilient Journey! We sure do appreciate it!
