Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art 2818 Frederick Ave. Saint Joseph, MO 64506 816-233-7003 www.albrecht-kemper.org LAURA TREAS- Laura Treas is a Needle Trades Advocate who founded a Full Service Design and Development agency that makes dreams come true for her clients. Taking their ideas and turning them into sellable products while coaching them through the process. She has had 7 clients pitch for Shark Tank as Startups for their inventions. As a Small Batch Manufacturing expert Laura empowers women to build their own micro-factories for sewing and train them on the products so that they can become the production managers for her clients. She also has her own line of compression undergarments and is considered a compression expert. FASHION IS GEOMETRY | SEWING IS PSYCHICS | PATTERNING IS ENGINEERING Images of school shootings are filled with helmeted men in uniforms crouched in halls and clutching weapons ready to mount an assault to protect children but a woman entrepreneur in Kansas City is taking a proactive approach to protecting children. Laura Treas, Owner/Founder, Fashion Tech Kansas City, is the lead designer for Titanium Flex Gear which is a bullet-resistant clothing company. Her expertise in creating, fitting and manufacturing clothing is at the heart of a new product that children can wear every day in any situation. “This is the first covert undershirt protection for children on the market,” said Treas. “It can be worn under any clothing and the snug fit tank-style undergarment, which holds the panels, allows the child to feel protected emotionally as well as physically.” “Can I keep this?” When children have tried it on they want to keep it on. The parents respond with “But, you haven't had any shootings at your school” and they reply “But, I know they happen and this makes me feel safe”. As an undergarment expert with her own line, Laura was the perfect fit for Titanium Flex Gear.16 years of experience fitting clients for undergarments that change their lives has made this a match made in Heaven. Laura's expertise in fabrics and clothing design will make a difference in comfort and wearability of this protection product. 2 months ago she did not know how her life was going to change. As someone who has had 7 clients get approved to pitch for Shark Tank, as startups, she's no newby to inventions but this was something she would actually become a part of. When she got the call from a far away island to discuss possible manufacturing she quickly said “Tell me more”. “If we can save one child it will have been worth it” is what Monty Clark believes. He had this idea for protection for children, went overseas to source this panel and had been manufacturing with a mom and pop shop but needed to find a new manufacturer. Neither he nor Laura knew until they met in person that the stars would align. “Everyone thinks it's easy to launch a product and they don't know how hard it really is. How many steps it takes. How hard it is to find all the information. The amount of micro decisions. But, when I met Monty in person and saw his safety panels and then showed him my undergarments and that we could marry them into this comfortable, wearable protection product that could save lives, I was ecstatic because this is so easy to wear. This can lower children's anxiety”. As a designer that makes garments for her local Children's Hospital this is a product Laura Treas can get behind. www.fashiontechkansascity.com

In this bonus episode of Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast, we take a closer look at the state of housing in the United States nearly 60 years after the passage of the Fair Housing Act and why this moment demands renewed urgency. With a national shortage of more than 4.7 million homes, rising rents, and persistent racial discrimination, the housing crisis goes beyond supply. It reflects a deeper shift in how fair housing is being understood and enforced, as federal protections are rolled back under the guise of “colorblind” policies.  We hear from Nathan Cheung, Communications Manager for Housing Now California, and Andreanecia M. Morris, Executive Director of Housing Louisiana, who bring this moment into focus through lived experience and on the ground advocacy. They speak to what housing justice looks like in practice, including stable, affordable homes and real choice not constrained by race or income. They also share how communities are organizing for affordable, safe, and stable housing. From community land trusts to local policy fights, this episode shows how people across the country are not just pushing back, but actively building a more just housing future. Special thanks to Ryan Curren, Director of Housing, Land, and Development at Race Forward, for his contribution to this episode.

RSAC Conference 2026 made one thing impossible to miss: AI is on every sticker, every slide, and every booth. Sorting signal from marketing has never been harder. Lisa Liu, Corporate Marketing and Communications Manager at Stellar Cyber, joins this Brand Highlight to continue a conversation that started on the show floor in San Francisco and was worth picking up again once the noise settled. Stellar Cyber has been incorporating machine learning into every layer of its security platform since 2015, well before AI became the marketing default. The position Lisa Liu brings is direct: AI is not a one-size-fits-all solution. A large language model is not the most efficient way to parse log data, and slapping an AI label on existing functionality is not the same as designing for the analyst pain points at every stage of detection, investigation, and response. The conversation closes on the autonomous SOC question, where Stellar Cyber argues for a human-augmented approach. Promises of complete autonomy deserve healthy skepticism; guardrails matter, and keeping a human analyst in the loop is what allows AI mistakes to be caught and contained before they cascade.

Heritage tourism is one of the most powerful, and most underutilized, tools in a destination marketer's toolkit. Adam Stoker sits down with Jake Wynn, Senior Marketing and Communications Manager at Visit Frederick, and Heidi Schlag, founder of Heritage Tourism Studio, to unpack how DMOs and museums can work together to turn local history into compelling visitor experiences. The conversation covers why museums need to start thinking like tourism institutions, how destinations can help history organizations build content and experiences that resonate with younger audiences, and why the authentic stories already living in your backyard may be your greatest competitive advantage.

At RSAC Conference 2026, the expo floor runs on one word: AI. But Lisa Liu, Corporate Marketing and Communications Manager at Stellar Cyber, has been watching the confusion this creates in real time. Visitors at the Stellar Cyber booth are asking the same question: does AI in cybersecurity mean a tool that fights AI-powered attackers, a tool that is AI-based, or something else entirely? Lisa Liu's take is direct -- if your messaging can't answer that question, the noise is winning. Stellar Cyber has been building toward a human-augmented, autonomous SOC for years -- long before "agentic" became the conference password. The logic driving that mission is not about market positioning. It is about what happens when AI makes a mistake at scale. One error in judgment can echo a thousandfold. Human oversight is not a limitation on the platform -- it is the architecture. The goal is not to put a human on the sidelines as a safety check. The goal is to make every analyst perform at a higher level, so a junior analyst works at the capability of a senior analyst. Lisa Liu draws on the Waymo analogy familiar to anyone walking the streets of San Francisco this week: autonomous vehicles went from having a safety driver present to running solo. But when a power outage knocked out every Waymo unit simultaneously, the city needed humans to step in immediately. The same principle applies to security operations. Agentic AI is changing the analyst's role -- replacing alert fatigue and log chasing with higher-order problem solving -- but human involvement in the process is not going away. For SOC teams asking how to get there, Lisa Liu is clear: success is not a rip-and-replace project. Success is minimal personnel disruption and maximum operational efficiency -- repositioning existing tools to work smarter without exposing the organization to weeks of vulnerability during a rebuild. Stellar Cyber's platform integrates with existing SIEMs and tools, adds coverage across network, endpoint, identity, and cloud environments, and offers hundreds of pre-built integrations with more being added continuously. For managed security service providers serving clients across different industries and risk profiles, that kind of unified visibility is what makes the business model scale. The outcomes are specific. One Stellar Cyber customer reported that analysts were 83% more accurate in their threat environment analysis. Lisa Liu frames that number carefully: analysts are not measured by what they catch -- they are measured by what they miss. Any meaningful improvement in accuracy is not just a business metric. It changes how people feel about their work. This is a Brand Spotlight. A Brand Spotlight is a ~15 minute conversation designed to explore the guest, their company, and what makes their approach unique.

With hundreds of sustainability and impact labels in circulation, how can consumers, policymakers and investors identify organisations that really do put people over profit? And why does it matter for the social economy? In this episode of Cogito Talks, Shayne MacLachlan is joined by Ruben Rebelo from the European Commission and Sofija Rakcejeva from the OECD to explore how labels can do more than just make social economy more visible and easier to support but also help people do better. Drawing on a recent joint OECD and European Commission report, we will unpack the different types of labels that exist, from those exclusively for social economy entities to broader impact and financial labels, and discuss how they can guide funding, policy decisions and consumer choices. Host: Shayne MacLachlan, Public Affairs and Communications Manager at the OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities Rúben Rebelo is a policy officer currently serving at the Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion of the European Commission.

Sofija Rakcejeva is a policy analyst in the Social Economy and Innovation Unit at the OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities, where she analyses the contribution of the social economy to policy priorities such as affordable housing and social inclusion, as well as framework conditions that can increase its impact, including labels, taxation and access to finance. Before joining the OECD, Sofija co-authored two technical briefs and contributed to due diligence of microfinance projects at the Council of Europe Development Bank. Sofija holds an MA in International Economic Policy from Sciences Po and a BA in History, Politics and Economics from University College London.
