Topic 1: Is "Patch and Zero Trust" Even Possible?

What does doing something different look like? How much do we need to rethink all this? Or, perhaps, is it possible to provide appropriate security at the small end of the market but impossible at the enterprise level?

Topic 2: Status update on getting back to the Office

This is still an evolving story. Workers would like to stay home more; managers would like them to be in the office more. This might be the biggest change to come out of the pandemic/recession of 2020-2021.

Topic 3: Amazon "burning through" employees

What does this tell us about Amazon? And since they are a massive employer, does this massive turnover affect the larger employment market?

Employee churn is so high that some Amazon execs are reportedly worried about running out of people.
