In this episode, host David Abrams is in conversation with David McGuinness, Head of Business Development, CRE at Motorola Solutions. David's career journey began in the technology space as a consultant. He eventually transitioned into the software side of tech before landing at Openpath, and now at Motorola Solutions since being acquired. David learned early in his career the benefits of surrounding yourself with people smarter than you. He went on to share some advice that he received from one of his first mentors; Learn something new every day, teach someone something new every day, and have fun. We discussed the changing relationship between building operators and their tenants, in particular, how there is much more focus on the customer and adopting a hospitality approach to engagement. From the access control side, David suggested that flex space has emerged as a compelling channel for their client base. David provided a great overview and evolution of the building access industry and how it has been impacted by cloud computing and mobile connectivity. We could not ignore a discussion around the role of buildings in communities and the impact that changing consumer behaviors have had. We wrapped up our conversation with some thoughts on the use of building access technology in several different applications catering to different types of users.

The justice system is filled with institutions that are both revered and steeped in tradition. But is this proud history a barrier or an enabler to access and innovation? Michael Talbot has devoted much of his career to innovating and challenging new ways of thinking in the justice sector. As former NSW Deputy Secretary Courts & Tribunals, he led a successful agenda of change and transformation in the state's administration functions within this space.  In today's episode of The Ready Podcast, Michael and Marc Washbourne explore how legal institutions can marry up deep tradition with effective change and digital transformation, and innovate so that every member of our community –  no matter their station or location – can access justice whenever they need it.  They also:  Uncover the key principles guiding the adoption of new technology within the sector – and draw on best-practice examples to help institutions apply these principles to their own change and transformation journeys. Delve into the ways that organisations and leaders within other sectors, too, can apply these insights to drive their own effective digital transformation journeys, and build trust and access with their stakeholders and communities.

To be frank, I didn't expect this podcast to be so profound!  When I invited SeedSigner on to talk about his project, I was hoping to discuss all the cool technical aspects, his ideas for the future and Bitcoin 2022. While we touched on all of these awesome things, what I found really compelling in our conversation was the guiding principles of the project SeedSigner highlighted.  Having access to Bitcoin, an open monetary network that does not debase your wealth, is a human right. Many countries or jurisdictions may stifle the bitcoin industry, making it impossible for some people to acquire hardware wallets that are otherwise common in the world. This project is an example of open-source software and engineering coming together to provide ever increasing access to Bitcoin.  SeedSigner highlighted the importance of providing access to custody solutions that prioritize the DIY, verifiable and transparent aspects of hardware and software. While he did say that the project could potentially some day have a second form that would increase scalability and minimize self assembly, there are no solid plans for this now, as their full attention remains on the DIY side of things.  One thing that stuck out to me from the conversation was his highlighting of the importance of fungibility and privacy. The two go hand in hand — if certain UTXOs are being labeled as criminal, those UTXOs must be subject to scrutiny that would deem them so. We also discussed if he thought CoinJoin and other similar privacy implementations are the key to this. Of course, I can't help but ask our current guests about Bitcoin 2022 — especially considering SeedSigner will be speaking there! If you haven't already, please check out his article on his experience at Bitcoin 2021. In it, he details how it was his first real Bitcoin gathering, introducing his project and more. At Bitcoin 2022, SeedSigner expressed his desire to continue to discuss his project with other people, but also, to finally catch up on all the other projects and happenings in the industry that seem to be flying by. I can fully relate to this feeling.  Make sure to check out the entire podcast and follow SeedSigner on Twitter for more updates on this project. And of course, I hope to see you all in Miami!

The Americans with Disability Act passed in 1990, but it was just one moment in ongoing efforts to craft the meaning and practice of “good design” that put people with disabilities at the center. In their new book, Building Access: Universal Design and the Politics of Disability (University of Minnesota Press, 2017), Aimi Hamraie takes a “sledgehammer to history” in the spirit of one guerrilla activist group that they track in the archives—among many other people, objects, and historical contexts. Hamraie focuses on work around “access-knowledge”—that is, the forms of expertise that were considered legitimate ways of knowing and responding to disability through design. What has counted as legitimate access-knowledge, Hamraie argues, indicates designers' goals: Was the aim of design to make productive workers, liberal consumers, or structures that materialized a commitment to spacial belonging? Who were the imagined users and how could new political priorities materialize in worlds already built? Answers to these questions made—and continue to remake—our material world and its frictions. Hamraie brings their training in feminist epistemology to never-before-accessed archival materials, along with an array of historical images and documents. The result is a persuasive, beautiful, and intrepidly researched book. Building Access torques received wisdom in disability studies, history of science, and architectural design, and models how to attend to research, writing, and publishing as a material practice. Hamraie is Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt University's Center for Medicine, Health & Society, and Director of Vanderbilt's Critical Design Lab.

What has counted as legitimate access-knowledge, Hamraie argues, indicates designers’ goals: Was the aim of design to make productive workers, liberal consumers, or structures that materialized a commitment to spacial belonging? Who were the imagined users and how could new political priorities materialize in worlds already built? Answers to these questions made—and continue to remake—our material world and its frictions.  Hamraie brings their training in feminist epistemology to never-before-accessed archival materials, along with an array of historical images and documents. The result is a persuasive, beautiful, and intrepidly researched book. Building Access torques received wisdom in disability studies, history of science, and architectural design, and models how to attend to research, writing, and publishing as a material practice. Hamraie is Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt University’s Center for Medicine, Health & Society, and Director of Vanderbilt’s Critical Design Lab.
