Paddy McGrath is an enigma in coaching circles. That's because it's not easy to find coaches, at least in the US, who in the same session, you will find teaching a beginner how to hold a hammer for the first time one moment and directing a long time protégé, American record holder & Olympian the next. But that happens where Paddy coaches, and it happens often. Paddy was a 2000 Olympian for Ireland in the hammer throw and six time national champion for Ireland. As a coach, he has mentored 7 high school men to over 70m in the hammer. One of these throwers, Rudy Winkler, went on to break Lance Deal's long-standing US Men's record in the hammer throw, earning a spot on the 2021 US Olympic Team in the process.  For a full bio on Paddy's accomplishments click https://gojaspers.com/sports/mens-track-and-field/roster/coaches/patrick-mcgrath/1844 (here). Paddy and I did this interview in person, in an Irish bar in the Bronx, New York (of course… where else?).  It is easily one of the most engaging talks I've had with a coach friend and colleague and Paddy did not disappoint. Topics: French Onion Soup, Gander (Newfoundland) & what we were doing on 911, dealing with Games Environments, 2012 Games, Paddy's background as an Irish Hammer Thrower, mentors Roman Feldman (assistant coach to Dr. B) & Harold Connolly, high school weight throw War Stories… Developing high school hammer throwers, Bob Gourley's HS hammer list, 4 vs. 3 turns… toe vs. heel turn entry, Rudy Winkler's progression, implement weight progressions in high school, Rudy's technical development, Starting beginners in the hammer throw, comparing cueing notes, maximal strength in the hammer, avoiding injury, “nothing gets in the way of throwing”, learning from Russians, planning for hammer training, strength training in hammer programming, VBT, Not ‘pressing' Rudy Winkler, Rudy's Eugene 2021 performance, the hammer facility in Eugene, preparing for big competitions, light vs. competition vs. heavy weight hammers in training, Kevin McGill's ‘Hammer Notes', potential for scholarships in hammer throwing, will coaching the hammer negatively influence SP & DT technique, The Fat Bastard of SC & expectations we put on our athletes, safety in the hammer.

In this OODAcast we interview Michel Kwon, the founder and CEO of W@tchTower. She is a leader who has proven herself through an ability to success in three different career fields, first as a developer and programmer creating enterprise grade solutions, then as a government executive who would eventually lead the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT)during a critical period in its transformation, and now as an entrepreneur and CEO adding value to enterprises seeking to reduce risk and improve cybersecurity posture. We discuss Michel's foundational story and extract lessons relevant to those starting a career today, and also dive into how she leveraged her technical skills and desire to create into a winning presentation of a new type of WiFi antenna at Defcon. This event would prove to be pivotal for her next career in the Department of Justice, and makes a clear point of use to any who may be seeking opportunities to switch careers (her focus on continued learning and intention to always be herself were at play here). We also discuss her government career and lessons learned for any professional government who would like to advance and make bigger differences for the nation.  There are also lessons from Mischel's story for any leader who needs to motivate action across organizations when you are not in command. Her approach was to provide threat briefings and visions for the future that would motivate other leaders. This may be the only way that works on cross organizational efforts like those she had to lead. She also provides eye-opening anecdotes about the importance of knowing the rules (in her case, including the Constitution and the laws in place for how we protect privacy). She shares lessons and recommendations that flow from this for any commercial cybersecurity professional as well. As CEO of W@tchTower she has led the firm from its formation to a highly performing value adding partner for any business which is in need of a security operations center (SOC) or with a need to improve current SOC operations. Watchtower provides the technology, guidance and expertise to enable security operations and mitigate problems of too much data, disorganized processes, overworked analysts and hard to measure metrics.

Chet Richards was a close associate of the late US Air Force Colonel John Boyd. He was there as the concept of the OODA Loop was being developed and constructed the first graphics of the OODA Loop from sketches Boyd drew. Chet is the author of the widely read business book "Certain to Win" which was the first book to describe Boyd's strategy in terms familiar to business leaders and show how the OODA Loop and associated Boyd concepts apply to today's business problems. Business is not war, but in its most competitive state it is a form of conflict, with companies seeking advantage in bringing products and services to market better and faster than competitors. If you dig beneath Boyd's war-centered tactics you find a general strategy for ensuring your business is the one that wins. This fact is the entire reason our company, OODA, and this site, OODAloop.com, was named as an homage to this operational decision-making model. Boyd never wrote a business book himself, but he read and commented on every version of this book's manuscript till his death in 1997. Chet has consulted with a number of aerospace and professional services companies and has lectured at the Air War College and the Army’s Command and General Staff College. In this OODAcast Matt Devost and Bob Gourley ask the questions they have always wondered about Boyd and Richard's creative processes, their interactions with other great thought leaders, the relation of the OODA model to the writings of business strategists and how it inspired others like Tom Peters, and the power of building a trust-based network of peers.
