Executive with a Cause with Tammy Ven Dange

In this episode of Executive with a Cause, host Tammy Ven Dange chats with Simon Rowe, founder of sleepbus.

Simon Rowe is actively ‘plotting the demise’ of his charity, sleepbus. Despite hoping he wouldn't need to create another charity in a crowded landscape, he realised the issue of providing a safe place to sleep had to be addressed with a new approach.

IT in Plain English

Do you find your staff too often forgetting their passwords or using ones that are “simple to guess”? Then perhaps your organisation should consider using a password locker or manager. In this episode, Tammy discusses how apps such as 1Password and LastPass can enhance your IT security. This is particularly relevant for teams who share passwords, such as social media accounts, or who may be increasing their risk by relying on a single staff member for multiple passwords. Some lockers offer free trials or subscriptions, so you can test them to see if it benefits your organisation.
