Podcasts: Feral Jundi on COR, Discussion About ‘Xe’
I had a good time on the show, and the topic was certainly relevant. We talked about the new name ‘Xe’ that Blackwater chose, and all the interesting little details of this attempt to re-brand a company. What’s it mean supposedly and will it work? Only time will tell. We also talked about trying to get Mr. Prince on the show, to hear what he has to say about the whole thing. We also discussed how cool it would be to hear a conversation on the show between two industry Titans– Erik Prince and our good friend Eeben Barlow. Check it out. –Matt

Andy Thompson- Managing Director of Aprodex
Jake Speaks with Andy Thompson, Managing Director of Aprodex, The Asset Protection Index. www.aprodex.com
-Aprodex is a one stop shopping portal for everything you might need to support a contract out there in the world.
-130 countries participate, trying to match the buyer to the seller.
-Guys can put up profiles and offer services-and there are even jobs posted!
They also have a leadership and business section called Aprodex in Focus. Businesses can promote themselves through this area. It is a cool area of the website where companies can show the different ways they have used Aprodex.
The final point, and I really like this, is user feedback. Customers can give recommendations and feedback about a service or product. Awesome stuff. –Matt

Podcasts: Combat Operator Radio Interviews David Isenberg
Hey folks, check it out. You might know of David through his Dogs of War column at UPI. His book is awesome as well, and certainly worth your time.
As for this interview, David had some excellent ideas and discussed the concept of a Center for Contractor Lessons Learned and talked about the history of contracting in the US. I also liked the discussion about military versus civilian leadership styles in today’s PMC/PSC’s. –Matt
Edit: I took out the part that David has a blog, and he does not have one at this time.
