  • Episode 13 with Katryna Dow
    Jan 11 2022
    Description: Welcome to lucky episode number 13! Your new host Aubrey Turner, Executive Advisor at Ping, is thrilled to welcome Katryna Dow, CEO & Founder of the award-winning data platform Meeco. Katryna discusses Meeco’s mission to enable everyone on the planet access to equity and value in exchange for the data and information they share. She talks about why she saw a need for Meeco’s services, what we need to know as we approach a more “physigital”world, and how her vision all started with a Tom Cruise film.   Key Takeaways: [1:34] Katryna talks about her journey of founding Meeco, and how she was inspired by Tom Cruise’s movie Minority Report. In early 2012 she sat down and wrote a Manifesto, and asked the question: what would happen if everyday people had the power to make really good decisions on data, the way that social networks, government, and enterprise do? How can we create meaningful value and make better decisions with our data? [8:12] Katryna shares some of her concerns around modern privacy and where she sees things evolving, both good and bad. [9:35] Technology is neutral. It’s what we do with it that gives it bias and can make it either creepy or cool. [11:33] What does Katryna mean when she says it starts with trust by design? [17:22] The next wave may be just starting to bring people and things into the direct value chain, through wearables or IoT devices for example. [18:31] How can we create better digital onboarding for employees, knowing that even post-COVID-19 our world will not go back to how it was in December 2020? One thing that Katryna is sure of is that we must lean into innovation rather than doing nothing and waiting to see. [36:13] We must make sure we are paying attention to the misalignment between law and technology, especially when it comes to ethics and the safety of children growing up in a digital-forward world.   Quotes:
    • “I think the challenge for any kind of technology and regulation is a lag factor, not a lead factor.”—Katryna
    • “The line between creepy and cool is one of the things we are always trying to address from a technology point of view.”—Katryna
    • “There isn’t really the option to not find better ways of digitally engaging.”—Katryna

  • Episode 11 with Kevin Sellers
    Nov 9 2021
    Description: This week we welcome Kevin Sellers, our Chief Marketing Officer here at Ping Identity. When he’s not traveling the world, Kevin is leading the charge of our marketing efforts to be sure Ping is connecting with its users and championing truth, trust, and identity. Kevin talks about his transition from Intel into the identity space and what he’s learned, why partnering with Terry Crews was great for the brand, and his tips for brands looking to stand out and convey their uniqueness.   Key Takeaways: [3:00] Kevin talks about what he learned at Intel Inside about creating an emotional response and teaching consumers to think not only about what it is they are buying, but what goes inside, how it’s made, and how this makes a difference. [5:14] The identity world now can look like what Kevin calls the “sea of sameness.”Everyone talks about being the trusted solution. How does Ping Identity stand out and convey its specialties and uniqueness? [5:45] In this digital-first world, we must understand who it is that we are engaging with, and that means truly knowing your identity and how it matters. [8:25] Identity is the foundation of all commerce. Kevin shares how brands can position themselves in a way that shows their unique value. [9:11] What is the differentiator for Ping? Kevin first talks about knowing the soul of the company, which is a combination of mission, culture, leadership, and values, and also strategy. [11:19] Ping Identity helps its users become champions, which is more of an emotional place where the team can position capability through more of an outcome orientation than a feature or rational product-based orientation. [12:50] How did Terry Crews come to be involved with Ping Identity, how did it help the brand, and what makes Terry so cool to work with as the Chief Identity Champion? How can brands decide if working with a spokesperson is right for them? [21:42] Our identity is like a fingerprint; it is unique to us and cannot be copied. Our credentials can, but our identity is unlike anyone else’s, and that is why it is the foundation of any digital transformation. [23:08]The evolution that was eye-opening to Kevin was how important and central identity and access management really is.   Quotes:
    • “There’s what you want to be for the market, and then what you are. Part of the journey is to really do a discovery of the soul of the company.”—Kevin
    • “Most people will listen to and engage with a message from a trusted person talking about a brand, far more than they do a brand talking about a brand.”—Kevin
    • “Be true to your soul, be true to who you are, tell the story well, and you’ll find that that marketing is actually a pretty cool thing. And it actually can make a difference in the trajectory of your company’s success.”—Kevin
