Brian is a serial entrepreneur in the software and cyber world. We discussed the importance of cybersecurity, real backups, having disaster recovery plans, and the fact that just having data in the cloud is not a security strategy.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brian’s bio</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brian is a computer scientist, entrepreneur, and angel investor.

Portfolio items, once committed and placed into flow, can contain many groups of work that Steve and Daniel term Minimal Outcome-Value Effort or MOVEs (</span><a href="https://bit.ly/3jd52qw"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">see week 14</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">). Once in flow (being worked on), a flow manager picks up managing the MOVEs. </span>
