The University of South Carolina's engineering school is setting an enrollment record with more than 1,000 incoming freshmen this fall. The college has also renamed itself after receiving a $30 million donation from an alum. Mike Switzer interviews Hossein Haj-Hariri, dean of the Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing at USC.

Today we had the honor of hosting Reginald DesRoches, President of Rice University, in Veriten's offices at the Ion. Reggie assumed the role of President in July 2022, after previously serving as Rice's Provost and the Dean of the Engineering School. Additionally, Reggie serves as a professor of civil and environmental engineering, and as a professor of mechanical engineering. Before his tenure at Rice, Reggie was Chair of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Rice University is an essential part of Houston's community and is home to 8,600 plus students and more than 900 faculty members. As we discuss, Rice Management Company is responsible for developing the Ion District in partnership with the City of Houston, where Veriten first started in January 2022. We were thrilled to visit with Reggie and hear his perspectives on the world, energy, the Ion, and the current educational landscape. In our conversation, we explore how AI will change the educational landscape and future career prospects for the next class of students starting at Rice, changes in demand for top areas of study, the vital role energy plays in economic development and healthcare, student attitudes towards energy, and the importance of exposing students to real-world energy access challenges in developing countries or rural areas. Reggie shares Rice's efforts to increase study abroad participation to 50% to broaden student perspectives, the current generation's eagerness to address global issues and make a difference, Rice's University-Industry partnerships including Woodside and the Texas Medical Center, the role of industry in providing practical constraints and scalability considerations to university research, and the surge in industry interest Rice received following the Woodside partnership announcement (linked here). We discuss Rice's goals for the Ion District and the potential for Houston to grow into a leading technology and innovation center, Houston's unique advantages, Rice's strategic plan for the next ten years, the balance between STEM and non-STEM disciplines at Rice, navigating research funding, planning for new facilities, the competitive landscape for hiring new faculty, and the importance of having global representation on campus. We ask Reggie for his perspective on the evolving role of university presidents, and as you'll hear, the job is anything but easy. The Economist article Reggie references is linked here. We covered a great deal of territory and can't thank Reggie enough for joining us today. Mike Bradley kicked off the show by highlighting that the 10-year bond yield is hovering at ~4.25%. He noted this week's economic calendar isn't overly robust. WTI price has rallied ~$4/bbl over the last 4-5 days, trading back above $81/bbl and surpassing its 50/100/200-day moving averages. Whether you're looking at 3mo, 6mo, 12mo or 24mo timeframe, WTI price has been relatively rangebound over those respective timeframes averaging ~$80/bbl and with crude oil volatility trading at multi-year lows. Broader equities continue to be driven by the recent drop in bond yields and a continuation of the strong AI/Tech rally. Broader equity market breadth continues to be extremely narrow, with the top six AI/Tech stocks (APPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOG, AMZN & META) seeing their combined market-cap increase by $5T over the last year, pushing their combined market-cap to ~33% of the S&P 500. Jeff Tillery expanded on Mike's thoughts on volatility, adding that the focus on commodity volatility will likely expand. We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did! Thank you again to Reggie for stopping by. Go Owls!

Chris Tarr and Shane Toven are discussing a critical topic - especially for broadcast engineers. It’s our work/life balance with emphasis on “life”. How’s your mental health? No, really, how is it? Why is it key to “put on your oxygen mask before helping others”? Why is it OK, and even smart, to let things fail sometimes? Should engineers always strive to “be the hero”? And what’s your value - financially and otherwise? Finally, do you know that some engineers would rather fight than be helpful?

People are by far the most important, the most essential aspect of any business. People are also the hardest to find a perfect fit, but successful leaders know how to attract and focus on the right people in the right way.   Tali Rapaport is the co-founder of Puck, the people-first recruiting CRM. Puck helps businesses tell their team's story and hire better, faster. Prior to Puck, she was the VP of Product at Lyft for nearly four years. During her tenure, Lyft grew 20x to become a big part of how people get around in North America. In 2017, Tali was named one of Fast Company's 100 Most Creative People. She graduated from Harvard College with an AB in Applied Math and a Master's in Environmental Engineering. She was on the Dean's Cabinet for Harvard's Engineering School from 2018-2020.   Tali worked with Lyft when they were in the middle of onboarding a million drivers. She witnessed the human side of employment and the reasons that people are motivated to take on this kind of work. Flexibility in scheduling and access to easier, reliable technology are still two of the major sticking points that are keeping people from getting hired and getting a job done. Getting inside the head of your prospective employee is essential to meeting people where they are and understanding what they need from their employer.   A recruiter's job today is to sell a brand and experience and to highlight what it means to be part of the tribe of a company. When hiring companies can highlight the motivation of their business with the motivation of the new employee, both are much better off.   When scaling a business, it can be easy to focus on the things that are urgent and forget about the things that are important. Tali shares the experience she had with a Cambridge water study and the lessons she learned about finding new opportunities when they might be least expected.   Interview Links: Tali Rapaport   Resources: Scaling For Any Economy Scaling Coach Bill on YouTube Recruiter.com Short List (use code scaleup)   Scaling Up is the best-selling book by Verne Harnish and our team for Scaling Up Coaches (formerly Gazelles).

What comes to mind when you think of the word engineering? A hardhat and paper blueprints, a computer with complex modeling software, or maybe a bunch of wires, gears and other technical parts? Engineering can involve all of those things and so much more. When looking for the engineering major, you might want to study in college, you might find that they're grouped together in a school of engineering within a larger university. On this episode of College Admissions Insider, we're diving deep into this educational track — from the types of professions the engineering field includes to what a general engineering curriculum might look like and far beyondOur guests are three faculty members from Bucknell's own College of Engineering: Biomedical Engineering Professor, Eric Kennedy; Mechanical and Chemical Engineering Professor, Wendy Wright; and Chemical Engineering Professor Kat Wakabayashi.Read a transcript for this episodeIf you have a question, comment or idea for a future episode, email podcast@bucknell.edu.Links:Explore the College of EngineeringEngineering majors and minors at BucknellInfo about applying to BucknellApplication dates and deadlinesPlan a visit to Bucknell@iamraybucknell, our student-run InstagramBuild a Bucknell Custom ViewbookLatest news for prospective studentsBucknell Virtual Welcome Center

"Various places on the globe lack the proper knowledge, infrastructure and workforce to adequately treat cancer. In Africa, one doctor is focusing her efforts to change all that. This ASCO Education podcast spotlights Dr. Miriam Mutebi, the first female breast surgeon in Kenya. One of Dr. Mutebi's goals is to improve women's health and cancer care in Africa and includes attaining her pilot's license to reach remote areas of the continent. Dr. Mutebi reflects on her life growing up in Kenya (1:21) and her inspiration for getting into medicine and pursuing what was at the time a male-dominated specialty (5:07). She also details how cancer care has improved in Kenya in the last decade (12:49) while there are ongoing challenges of working in low-resource settings (23:25).

I'm Pat Loehrer, Director of Global Oncology and Health Equity at Indiana University. Dave Johnson: And I'm Dave Johnson, a medical oncologist at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, Texas. Pat, we have a terrific guest today that ties in very nicely with your interest in global health. I'd love for you to introduce her. Pat Loehrer: Thanks, Dave. Battling cancer is truly a global effort, both in research and in treatment. However, there are various degrees of quality in these fields, depending on the economic health of a particular region. Our next guest is trying to optimize cancer care in Africa. We're very excited to talk to her. Dr. Miriam Mutebi is one of the most prominent cancer doctors in Africa. Dr. Mutebi is the first female breast surgeon in Kenya, and she's currently assistant professor in the Department of Surgery at the Aga Khan University in Nairobi, Kenya. She's on the board of directors for the Union of the International Cancer Control. She has trained and studied at top hospitals in New York and South Africa. Dr. Mutebi is so focused on increasing women's health in Africa that she's trained to be an airplane pilot in order to connect with hard-to-reach areas. Disclosures for this podcast are listed on the podcast page. Thank you so much, Dr. Mutebi, for joining us from Kenya. Can you start off by telling us a little bit about what it was like growing up there? Dr. Miriam Mutebi: I grew up in Nairobi, which is a pretty urban setting to grow up in. So, most of my childhood was spent…I think it was probably a much simpler time where, you know, you would play in the street, go off to somebody's house, spend the rest of the day there and come back at the end of the day. But in terms of growing up, I think I was one of those super nerdy kids, for want of a better word. One of the sorts of things that got me interested in reading and learning and challenging myself was actually my dad. Because what would happen was we had to go to school, I would say almost about 30 kilometers bus ride, and my dad would be like, “Well, if you're on the bus for that long, you can as well, you know, carry a book and made it nice and exciting.” So I remember sort of discovering the library at my primary school and going like, “My word!” Because you get access to all these different experiences and worlds. I mean, you're going in and reading, you know, The Chronicles of Narnia, you're reading about Enid Blyton and different experiences, you're reading all these different worlds and getting to, you know, identify to some extent with the core values that exist. It doesn't matter where the books were centered. And so that for me was an almost, I would say, idyllic growing up, because for me it was like, “Yes, books, check; running around, check.” That's, I think, what I remember most about my childhood. Dave Johnson: It sounds like your father was a powerful influence in your youth. Can you tell us more about your father? Dr. Miriam Mutebi: Sure. My dad, how old is he now? He's going to turn 74. One of the things that he always says, “It costs you nothing to be kind.” And so he would generally– Sorry, I'm just going to stop a little bit. I'm getting weepy. Dave Johnson: I'm sorry. Dr. Miriam Mutebi: It's okay, it's okay. Shame. Dave, you pushed the button. Dave Johnson: It's not our intent to push a button. It sounds like your dad's a wonderful person. Dr. Miriam Mutebi: No, it's fine. Pat Loehrer: Both Dave and I have daughters, and we feel the same way. So as weepy as you're getting, I can guarantee you that he's going to feel the same way on the other end. Dr. Miriam Mutebi: No, it's just that he hasn't been well recently, so it's just– Dave Johnson: Oh, I'm sorry. Dr. Miriam Mutebi: Yeah. Okay, cool. Let me see if I can stop getting a little weepy. Yeah. So one of the things that he frequently says is that it costs you nothing to be kind, and I think that's one of the things that he sort of instilled in us that you need to think beyond yourself. You always need to sort of think about what is the other person going through and how can I help to make it better. Now, my dad, he has a really interesting sense of humor. I think it's where I get my cheesy humor from as well. But he always talks about what we call the 11th commandment, which is, don't take yourself too seriously. And so I think that was part of the grounding steps that he sort of helped to instill in us because he was working– I mean, sort of looking back, our parents, I would say, got married at a very young age and had several kids that they were raising. And sort of looking back, you're thinking they were probably just doing the best that they can, right? But I think he did a fairly decent job, I hope. Dave Johnson: So, Miriam, when did your interest in medicine begin, and who was the inspiration for that? Or if there was someone that inspired that? Dr. Miriam Mutebi: At the end of high school, I remember I wanted to do five or, rather, was it six different things. And so I wanted to do medicine, I wanted to write, I wanted to do architecture, I wanted to do law, I even forget what the other things were. There was like two other things on my to-do list. And I think part of the genesis of that was because, as part of the high school training that we go through, we had to do the international sort of baccalaureate, and what that entails is we have to do components of creativity, action, and service. And so at the end, I'm like holding back to father dearest, and I'm like, “Dad, I have six different things I want to do, and I don't really know about.” And he was like, “So why don't you spend a bit of time, sort of just going through each of those, like shadowing these different specialties?” And so we managed to track down his lawyer friend, spent time in the hospital, spent time in the pharmacy, just shadowing the pharmacist. I actually went to work briefly for a publication house. Eventually– Oh, yes, in architecture as well. So then I managed to narrow it down to, “Yes, okay, I want to do medicine, and I want to write.” And so I went back to my dad and said, “Dad, okay, I have two things I want to do.” And my dad was like, “Well, if you do medicine, you can write. But if you write, then you might not necessarily be able to do medicine.” So that's how I sort of wandered into medicine. Although I still say there's still the great African novel waiting to get out. But again, with medicine, I think I'm guilty of what we call ‘end of rotationitis', where at the end of the day, you finish a rotation, and you're like, “I can do this. I can do this.” So I think going through different rotations– I think for me, the drive– Well, the slow narrowing down to surgery was really around, unfortunately, the time when we were doing our rotations, and this was just really at the start of the 2000s in Kenya. And the challenge around that time was we're really just at the tail end of the HIV epidemic, and not everyone had access to antiretrovirals. And it was an incredibly harrowing time, I would say, for the healthcare profession, just because there was still a lot of stigma around HIV. And what was happening was that we would go to the wards and find patients had been abandoned. And there was a general sort of pervasive sense of hopelessness because people didn't have access to the medication, they'd been abandoned, and unfortunately, not much was being done in terms of active management to patients. Whereas then that was like on the 7th floor, and then you would go four floors down to the surgical ward where patients come in, they're bleeding; you take them to OR, they get better, you send them home. And so, for me, the timing was like, “I need to do this. At least I could see where I was making an impact.” And so that's sort of how I wandered into surgery. And I'm sure, as I said, with, of course, the developments now, the experience, of course, for medical rotations, they're entirely different, but that's how I sort of ended up in surgery. But then, how I sort of found myself in breast surgery was actually because– for me, what stood out about my breast rotation was really looking at what we were reading in the textbooks, which was breast cancers, the disease of the sixth and seventh decade and a “poster child” for this is the elderly nun who's never had any children, who's had this prolonged [inaudible]. And I'm sitting there and looking at the clinic, and I'm like, “These patients are in their 30's and 40's. All of these traditionally protected factors, like having multiple children, having breastfed, ticking all the boxes, but they're still coming in with these kinds of cancers.” And so just thinking this is totally different from what the textbook is saying, and somebody needs to get to the bottom of this, and that's how I found myself going in along breast cancer surgery and also research into women's cancers and things. Pat Loehrer: My sense is that Kenya and many African nations were male-dominated. I don't know what it was like for you going to medical school, but particularly in surgery, it tends to be a male-dominated field. What was that like as a woman? In many ways, I think you were breaking some glass ceilings. I'm sure other women are doing similar things, but tell me a little bit about that experience. Dr. Miriam Mutebi: I would say bewildering for both parties. Because we had to do several interviews just in different institutions before getting into a surgical residency, and I remember these senior professors sort of peering down their glasses and looking frankly bewildered and asking the most bizarre of questions, which I don't think anyone would sort of get away with in this day and age. I remember somebody asked me, and this one always stands out in my mind because somebody asked me on the interview route, “So what happens if you get a patient in ICU and you start to cry?” I'm like, “Well, first of all, I'm guessing that I am crying because I'm having a bit of empathy for the patient. And I think that actually probably makes me a better clinician because I am really truly seeing the patient rather than bed X with diagnosis Z. This is like Mary, mother of one, two, three, and whatever.” But it was really bizarre. Then somebody asked me as well, “Okay, so what happens when you're on call, and you have to breastfeed?” And I'm like, “Well, let's see. This is a tough one.” You could tell as well that they were really out of their depth. So,  eventually I settled on the Aga Khan just because, in terms of the faculty and the interviews, I got a sense that they were a little more open to the idea. And that's because I think one of my earlier mentors, Prof. Raja, who is our former chair of surgery, had come in from the Aga Khan in Pakistan. And for him, it wasn't anything unusual to see women in surgery. So, like, “Yeah, come along. We'll train you and stuff.” And he was also pretty inspiring in terms of the decision to get into surgery because, for him, their approach to at least surgical training– and we always tease him and say, we all drunk the Kool-Aid because we kind of came back. Because it wasn't about just training surgeons for surgery's sake, it's about how do we become leaders, how do you impact care in your region. And so it was never about just learning surgery; it's how do you use the tools that you have in order to improve the health of those around you. In the Aga Khan, you're sort of, one would say, in a position of privilege. Just the backstory to those listening who might not know about the Aga Khan, it's a private university hospital. But I mean, as a private center, then, of course, I would say there isn't any difference, one would say, between the Aga Khan and most of the international hospitals anywhere in the world. But it was always sort of driven into us that this is a privilege that you're having. And how do you use this privilege to elevate the communities around you? Pat Loehrer: Let's talk about breast cancer, if you will, in Kenya. You mentioned it that when you first went into it, patients were coming in with advanced disease, they still do. But how has the field of medicine changed in Kenya during your professional lifetime as it pertains to breast cancer? Dr. Miriam Mutebi: While we still have the majority of patients diagnosed with advanced disease, the scenario ten years ago was that patients would get diagnosed with advanced disease and frequently would not complete their care. And if we did a deeper dive into the reasons behind this, we saw a constellation of factors. One being the fact that patients were having to pay out of pocket, resulting in financial toxicity, catastrophic health expenditure. And then the other major barrier was the health system itself. And again, to some extent, that still exists where we know, at least on average in sub-Saharan Africa, patients are going to see 4 to 6 healthcare providers before a definitive diagnosis of their cancer is made, which of course, again, translates into delays in ultimate treatment. Another area that we frequently don't necessarily talk about as much are the social-cultural barriers that exist and, to some extent, are still pervasive in some communities. What we see is, one, there's a lot of use of alternative therapies. There is still quite a bit of stigma around cancers. There is what we call collectivism, where we always say in Africa, ‘our community is our strength'. But sometimes, that sense of community is a double-edged sword because then, if the patient is losing agency, then that becomes a real concern. Because what we find, for instance– I'll give you an example, I'll have a patient come in and discuss, and maybe she has early cancer, and discuss the options of having breast conservation versus a mastectomy. And then you will find maybe she goes home to have a think, and then a couple of days or whatever later, there's a community gathering, and the clan elder is saying, “We have decided.” And I'm like, “Who's we? That's not your breast coming off. Like, what right do you have to decide on patient decision-making?” But you see, as much as we would like to sort of say have the patients have autonomy over the decision-making, it's really a question of equity and access to care. Because even if you're giving the patient autonomy, and she's saying at the end of the day, “Well, they're the ones paying for the treatment so let them decide what it is I'm going to have”, then we haven't really adequately empowered our women. And so those are some of the challenges that existed, I would say, about ten years ago. We're definitely seeing an improvement. One in the patient's ability to pay, and this, I think, has been a concerted effort by the government to come up with a National Health Insurance Fund, which initially wasn't covering cancer care but has definitely helped to ensure that the number of patients who actually complete their care or going through their entire cancer journey are probably more.   I remember when I was doing my internship, there were like truly heartbreaking because, as interns, we would have the medical internists sometimes– and because there weren't that many medical oncologists– prescribe the chemotherapy and as interns, we were the ones who would administer the chemotherapy. And so, you would have a patient come in and it involves– Basically, we give the prescriptions like chemotherapy, but they'll also have to buy their own saline, the IV line, and everything else,,, and then they get the first cycle, and they just disappear. And then those were the times when mobile phones weren't that common. They literally just disappear. But then they come back six months later, and they're like super excited, and they're like, “Doc, we've raised enough money for the next cycle.” And we're like, “Well, it doesn't quite work like that.” So, with the National Hospital Insurance Fund, it's not perfect, but we definitely see more patients going through the entire care continuum, which is gratifying. I'm sort of putting on my  [inadudible] hat as the chair of Kenya Society for Hematology and Oncology, and we've been working closely with the National Cancer Control Program, really to advise the National Hospital Insurance Fund on maybe getting more comprehensive covers. Because what was happening initially was, for instance, they would cover maybe four cycles of chemotherapy. Then the patient has to come up with the remaining four, for instance, and sometimes if they're not able to afford that, then you're sort of giving them the side effects without the therapeutic benefits of some of these. So they are currently in the process of really looking more at treatment plans, and that's also been, at least, a truly– And the fact that they are willing to listen has also at least been a huge stride. And then, of course, in terms of the real efforts, I would say by the National Cancer Control Program to ensure some of the decentralization of cancer services. Initially, we had only one radiotherapy center at the tertiary referral hospital in Nairobi that was having patients traveling from across the country, 400 kilometers or more, coming in. And you come in from a rural area, you come into Kenyatta and somebody tells you have to live there for a month, you have no family, nowhere to stay. People say, “You know what? I don't need to have this stage or rather have this additional treatment.” And so with the deliberate development of or decentralization of the radiotherapy services, we now have at least regional centers in planning and so really looking at how do we bring the services closer to people. And so, we now have, in addition to the tertiary referral centers, we now have two regional centers in Mombasa and in– Pat Loehrer: Eldoret. Dr. Miriam Mutebi: Yes. I think beyond Nairobi, Eldoret, we now have a comprehensive center in Mombasa. Nakuru's just launched a comprehensive center and Garissa as well, so really looking at enhancing our capability to bring these services closer. And there has also been the development of the chemotherapy units across the country that have at least tried to ensure that these services are more readily accessible to populations. And really just underpinning that with the support from the National Hospital Insurance Fund has helped to basically have more patients completing their care. One of the other things that I think deserves particular mention is really the grassroots advocacy that has really tried to increase awareness around cancers. And as a result, we definitely are seeing, as much as we are saying the majority of patients are still diagnosed with advanced disease, we are definitely seeing the entire continuum all the way from screen-detected tumors, early stage I, stage II cancers to more advanced tumors. So with that, it also really shows that there is a continuing consciousness that's really sort of driving these education efforts and awareness in the community. Of course, we definitely do need to do more because we still see that the advocacy's efforts sometimes tend to center largely around urban areas. And also, the question is how do we then sort of percolate that down to more rural areas? It's definitely something that's improved in the last ten years. And then, of course, we've also seen an expansion in the cancer workforce. And that, I think, has also been largely driven by the fact that we're having in-country training for clinical oncology, medical oncology, gyne-oncology, so we're really thinking about how to expand the workforce but– Of course, we are still looking at the patient-to-population ratios, those are still pretty low and we still recognize that there are deficits along the care continuum. But we're now having pharmaco-oncologists, we are having psycho-oncologists, increase in palliative care specialists. So there's definitely been an exponential growth of all the cadres of healthcare providers, whether it's oncology nurses and things. We've had an oncology nursing chapter now that's been developed. We really see the rise of the professional societies like the Kenya Society of Hematology and Oncology, and there is a lot of crosstalk between the academic institutions that are running the oncology training programs. So it's really a positive move in the right direction, but I think what needs to happen is, as I would say, more deliberate investment in the workforce. Because, again, even as we increase the spectrum of the oncology workforce, there's really a need to carry along the primary care providers because they invariably are the gatekeepers to access. And so unless the primary care providers are empowered and knowledgeable to facilitate early and timely diagnosis and referrals to the appropriate pathways, then it doesn't matter how many people or how much of a workforce you have on top of the pyramid. It just means you're invariably going to be still getting patients diagnosed at later stages. And so there's also been efforts around that to come up with, from healthcare provider courses to educating common signs and symptoms. This is something that the Kenya Society of Hematology and Oncology has been doing in collaboration with the National Cancer Control Program. There's a deliberate effort to come up with an online platform that are actually able to give real-time information to primary care providers. And so, I would say there are definitely steps in the right direction, but there definitely needs to be more investment in the entire spectrum of care. Dave Johnson: Miriam, what you've done is astonishing. What you've just described is an amazing infrastructure in a relatively short period of time. What you're talking about took us in the United States half a century. You're trying to do that in a matter of five to ten years. You've trained in both Kenya and in the United States. I wonder if you might just take a few moments to compare and contrast those experiences. Dr. Miriam Mutebi: In terms of working in different spaces and sort of working in the US, working in South Africa, working in Kenya, what you realize is perhaps a very different patient profile. Whereas in countries like the US, where you have vibrant screening programs, and you're definitely having a lot more discussions around 4-millimeter, 5-millimeter tumors that you are doing an MRI-guided biopsy for and maybe a lot more screen-detected tumors. Whereas working in settings, especially when you get out of the urban areas, whether it's in Kenya or South Africa, you find that you tend to have a lot more diagnoses of patients coming in with fungating tumors and advanced disease, and so it's really that spectrum. And that's what I'm saying in terms of the current state of flux that we're in. We're now, as clinicians, at least working in Nairobi, you're sort of seeing the entire spectrum and much less and less of the sort of fungating tumors. So I think in terms of the principles, and the good thing is that irrespective of where you are, principles do not change. But I think you sort of have to rapidly innovate and iterate in settings where you may not necessarily have a say, MRI to do an MRI-guided biopsy, but you also sort of look at what makes sense for the patient. Working in lower-resource settings, I think, is actually a good thing because it challenges you to constantly think about value-based care. People talk about value-based care as a concept, but you're doing it on a day-to-day basis, even between different patients in clinic, because you have to think about the cost and you have to think about how do I deliver care that's still of good quality, that's not necessarily going to break the bank. And so these are some of, I think, more challenging or at least questions that we have to think about deliberately. Whereas in the US, if you have insurance, then it's pretty much carte blanche, for want of a better word. Which we did realize, especially with COVID - and I'm sure Pat and Dave you can bear testament to this - these disparities exist globally. And so you'll find that in your patients who have no insurance or are underinsured, they're still coming in with the same, sort of, challenges. I was talking to my colleague at NYU who works at Bellevue. When she was giving me the profile of her patients, it was interesting to see that there wasn't really– and these are patients who don't necessarily have insurance, there really wasn't any difference in the images we are seeing from patient they're seeing and the patients we're seeing. So really it's an opportunity for us to sort of rethink collectively our approach to care and really thinking about how do we provide quality care. Pat Loehrer: I was in Washington this week, and President Biden had a three-day African US summit, and at the end of this, he basically pledged to spend $55 billion in Africa to help relations with them. We also had a discussion about the Moonshot 2.0, in which President Biden wants to end cancer as we know it, with a particular emphasis, I think, and now, in linking with LMICs. Briefly, what would you tell President Biden in terms of what would be very helpful for the United States to help with the cancer problem in sub-Saharan Africa? What would you say in a sentence or two? Dr. Miriam Mutebi: As we say, perhaps have the Moonshot, but stay grounded in the sense that– even before we think about complex molecules, we are still struggling as a continent with the basics of care. And so, investing in health systems and the basics will ultimately give more or improve outcomes rather than sort of focusing on specific molecules. So if we have the basics in place to deliver the basics of care, then that would go a long way toward shifting outcomes. The other bit that does need to happen is, again, with research because there is a paucity of cancer research. We did a recent bibliometric analysis and found that as a continent, we are only contributing to less than 8% of all sort of cancer research globally. And we do know that one, we have, I would say, the breadth of diversity in terms of genetic diversity. We do know that the responses to care and treatments are different. We do know that we do need to think about implementation science and what structures we can put into place, and what strategies. What works in different settings might not necessarily work in ours, and it does need to be backed by evidence. So there are opportunities to expand care and strengthen systems, but really do this in an evidence-based, pragmatic way that ultimately [inaudible] its own outcomes and outputs for the patient. Dave Johnson: Thank you for that, Miriam. Pat Loehrer: Well said. Thank you. Dave Johnson: Great advice. I hope the President is listening. Pat Loehrer: Dr. Mutebi, what was the first book that you remember that you really loved? Dr. Miriam Mutebi: I think it was actually The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It was just the whole sort of just stepping into a different world. And then, of course, we all had crushes on Aslan, the lion, but it was more because he was like this sort of guy who would swoop in and was morally just and get to mediate the world. And so I went through the whole series, I just gobbled it down, and I think that's one of the things that really stands out for me as one of the books that I sort of remember early on. Pat Loehrer: It's such a great pleasure today. I'm really excited. We're typically talking about books. And here's a book, Dave, I know that you have not read; it's entitled 101 Things I've Learned in Engineering School. It was an interesting book. As you know, I'm an engineer background, but there were a few quotes in here that I– Dave Johnson: Pat, I live on Purdue Avenue, so I have some engineering background. Pat Loehrer: Oh, that's true. Good for you. So you might like this one, Dave. One of the quotes I have is: "Inventing is a mixing of brains and materials. The more brains you use, the less materials you need." And another one - do you know the difference between accuracy and precision? They're really different things. And so, the best example that came from the book, which I thought was interesting, was pi, so pi is what? Dave Johnson: Round. Pat Loehrer: Okay, this is going to be painful. Pi is 3.14. Right? So that's accurate. But if you say pi is 3.1415926535, that's accurate and precise. And if you said pi is 3.98, that's just inaccurate and imprecise. As I think about engineering as we move forward, I'm thinking about the Lung Pragmatic trial that has just been announced, where we're trying to do trials a lot more simply in which I think we can be accurate, but perhaps not as precise as we always deem to be important. And I think we're really excited about that and that project. Dave Johnson: Well, that's really all the time we have for today. And we really want to thank you, Miriam, for a wonderful interview. And knowing that you're up very late at home makes it all the more special. We also want to thank our listeners to Oncology, Etc.

LISTEN NOW!! One weekend in Texas hooked Patrick, he found himself moving from Tennessee to Austin Texas to attend Engineering school at the University of Texas. With little understanding of the oil and gas industry, he didn't know what he was in for when he took his first internship with Baker Oil tools. Patrick was a part of the Next Generation program of NOV. Right out of Engineering School he had the opportunity to travel around the world and shadow senior leaders in different business units. This allowed him to understand which part of the business he wanted to work in, he explains why this was so important and pivotal in his career. We discuss dealing with challenges and how mentorship is essential in having a successful career. Patrick talks about what it takes to be a leader and how his leadership style evolved over time. One of the biggest life lessons he learned is that communication is key to any successful relationship or organization. Patrick took a big jump leaving NOV after 13 years, he took the leap of faith to work for a smaller organization. He talks about the risk he took and how the failures he faced in the new role taught him that he can be successful no matter what company he is working for. He explains why this was important in the journey to making it to the President of Americas at DynaEnergetics. Now as President, Patrick is focused on changing the gender landscape of Dynaenergetics. He talks about the programs they are putting in place in order to grow their female talent. He shares his perspective on what is holding women back and how Dyna is challenging those stereotypes.

Once you decide whether you'll take the SAT or ACT for college admissions and scholarship purposes (you probably should), you'll need to make critical decisions about timelines for prep and testing. Amy and Mike invited educator Jim Reinish to answer the age-old question: “When should you take the SAT or ACT?” What are five things you will learn in this episode? When should high schoolers plan to prep for and take the SAT and/or ACT? How do current testing timelines differ from the old testing paradigm? What academic considerations influence testing timelines? What scheduling challenges should be considered during test planning? What personality traits in test-takers need to be taken into account? MEET OUR GUEST Unlike many test prep professionals, Jim Reinish discovered test prep “late” in life. A graduate of Columbia University's Engineering School, Jim had a long and successful career as an executive with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.  In the midst of a salary freeze and worrying about the future cost of his children's college tuition, Jim explored additional income sources. He bombed at selling knives and hated real estate, so in 1994, he responded to a tiny newspaper ad (found by his wife) for the Princeton Review.  The rest as they say is history.    Jim rose up the ranks at Princeton Review becoming a site director and a premier tutor.  Wanting to impart a more personal approach to his tutoring, he soon began his own company. It grew to become one of the most successful tutoring companies in a very competitive New Jersey market. Tutoring at night and weekends, Jim prepared thousands of students for the SAT, ACT, GRE and GMAT. At the same time, Jim and his wife Lisa shepherded three children through the college application journey with them eventually landing at the University of Virginia, Columbia University and Penn State.   In 2015, Jim retired from his day job and, with Lisa, moved to the frozen tundra of Rochester, NY to be closer to his daughter and, hopefully, grandchildren. Jim thought he was done tutoring, but missed it so much that he went back to work. It didn't hurt that he found Mike Bergin and Chariot Learning. Jim's been working for Chariot Learning ever since and has solved the snow issue by spending half the year in Florida. Grandchild number one is almost two!! Find Jim at jim@chariotlearning.com.

Rogers’s $216.17 million budget was posted on the city’s website. Rogers does not recommend an increase in the real estate tax rate at this time. However, Council can still decide to move forward with a ten cent tax increase, which would generate $9.2 million. “While the funding from that additional 10-cents assessment is in the presented budget for City Council to consider, the City Manager’s budget does not utilize thosefunds as part of the presented balanced budget,” reads Rogers’s letter to the Council. This budget is presented almost two years after the pandemic altered the economic situation. Rogers said there has been a rebound. “Sales tax is up 8.33 percent, meals and lodging tax are up 19.3 percent and 30 percent respectively,” Rogers said. “While the City’s unemployment rate was at acalendar year high in June 2021 at 4.1 percent, by year end it had plummeted to 2.35 percent.” The Commissioner of Revenue is recommending a decrease in the personal property tax rate due to the increased valuation, but the budget currently recommends that being kept at $4.20 for now. Senior Budget Analyst Krisy Hammill said the recommended rate would be unveiled during the budget process. Bond proceeds to cover the cost of the $75 million reconfiguration would not be authorized until FY24. The budget will be presented to the City Council tonight and the first work session will be held virtually Thursday beginning at 6 p.m. More details in a future installment of the newsletter. UVA students vote to end expulsion for honor violationsStudents at the University of Virginia have voted to end a long-standing tradition where people can be kicked out permanently for violating the honor code. Instead, the new single-sanction punishment will be a year’s suspension rather than the traditional expulsion. According to UVA Today, over 6,000 students voted on the proposal with around 80 percent in favor of the change. The University Board of Visitors met last week and President Jim Ryan told the group that he would not have voted to make the change. He also spoke of the enhanced community involvement UVA has made during his tenure. Ryan established the President’s Council on UVA-Community Partnership and a report was completed in February 2019. (read the report)“It has been in the spirit of what we can do together and the approach on affordable housing is a great example of that,” Ryan said. UVA has pledged to work with a private developer to build up to 1,500 below-market units and has selected three sites on land owned by the UVA or its real estate foundation. One of them is at the North Fork Discovery Park, and a rezoning for that project is making its way through Albemale County’s land use application process. “All of it going a long way to changing the narrative about UVA and about UVA’s relationship to Charlottesville and Albemarle County and I think that that’s a very good thing for the University,” Ryan said. “There’s still plenty of work to do but the conversation is different than it was four years ago.” Ryan also sought feedback on the University’s strategic plan and some of the initiatives within. One of them is to “Be a strong partner and good neighbor to the Charlottesville region.” (See all of the articles tagged Land Use - University of Virginia on Information Charlottesville) UVA committee gets update on construction On Thursday, the BOV’s Buildings and Grounds Committee met and discussed several matters of interest. There are several major construction projects underway with the most impact likely coming from the Emmet - Ivy Corridor where the School of Data Science is well underway heading toward a December 2023 completion date. The committee was briefed on some changes coming to UVA’s Capital Plan which has a budget of just over $3 billion, according to Colette Sheehy, Senior Vice President for Operations and State Government Relations. “We’ve actually completed quite a bit of work in the last year, $700 million worth of projects,” Sheehy said. “Some of the more notable ones include the University of Hospital expansion, the orthopedic center, and the Student Health and Wellness Center.”Sheehy said staff are proposing adding $411 million in new project, with $20 million of that just to plan projects. The proposed 2022 Capital Plan would be $2.67 billion. They’re also proposing removing a standalone project to construct a $60 million new building for the Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy. “We now are pursuing a partnership between the Karsh Institute for Democracy and the Batten School to provide some space for Batten within the Karsh Institute,” Sheehy said. That building will also be within the Emmet - Ivy precinct along with a new hotel and convention center. Construction of that building is expected to begin in late spring or early summer. Projects under construction are the renovations of Alderman Library, a new residence hall on Brandon Avenue, and the Contemplative Commons near the Dell stormwater pond. Projects in the planning stages include a football operations building, an Olympic sports complex, the Karsh Institute, and a new building for the McIntire School of Commerce. There are three new projects that will be added to the planning pool. “One is the Center for the Arts,” Sheehy said. “The planning authorization was included in Governor Northam’s introduced budget allowing us to actually use our money to do the planning. But that is a good signal the state is interested in funding that project in the future.”This authorization remains within the budget bill currently being negotiated in the General Assembly. UVA has an $11 million gift to cover the cost of the design work. There’s also a $4 million gift to begin planning work for a Center for Design for the School of Architecture and a $5 million gift for an academic building for the Engineering School.“We’ve done some planning already for both of those schools and there is a need for additional space,” Sheehy said. Four projects would be added for construction, with one of them being a $350 million Institute for Biotechnology. “It is a research facility with a manufacturing facility included in it that would allow us to produce research through to clinical trials for new drug therapies,” Sheehy said. “The intention is that it would attract many biotechnology companies that would want to work with our faculty and to locate in and around Charlottesville.” This project is also within both the House and Senate versions of the budget. Other new projects are additional landscaping on Ivy Road, HVAC work at Monroe Hall, and infrastructure at Memorial Gym to make it more accessible as well as ADA compliant. There is also funding for a study of childcare needs as well as a space study for nursing to accommodate more instructional space. The changes to the Capital Plan will be voted upon in June. Sheehy also said there will also be an update of the 2019 Parking and Transportation Study post-COVID. (read the 2019 study)“The president has asked us to go back and do a more comprehensive kind of broad-based look at the need for parking overall across the institution,” Sheehy said. One member of the Buildings and Grounds Committee suggested building additional parking on the other side of the railroad tracks south of the University of Virginia Health System. Sheehy pushed back. “We have to be careful that that’s a residential neighborhood and there are lot of issues to consider,” Sheehy said. “Traffic, neighbors, the needs of the health system. We will look at all of that.” The next meeting of the University of Virginia Board of Visitors is in June.Shout-out to the Piedmont Master GardenersThe second shout-out today goes to the Piedmont Master Gardeners to announce their 2022 Spring Lecture Series featuring leading experts on sustainable landscaping, indigenous gardening wisdom and small fruit production at home.

I’ll try to track the progress as many of those as possible, but for now, here are some more bills that originated in the Republican-controlled House of Delegates that did not make it out of the Democrat-controlled Senate.A bill to delay the requirement of the State Air Pollution Control Board to implement federal Clean Car regulations failed to make it out of the Senate Agriculture, Conservation, and Natural Resources Committee on a party-line 7 to 8 vote. The House of Delegates had passed the Bill 52 to 48. (HB1267)A bill to allow hunters to go onto other people’s property to retrieve the animals they’ve killed also did not make it out of that Senate committee on a 10 to 5 motion to pass by indefinitely. (HB1334)A bill that would have required people seeking an abortion to provide written consent and undergo counseling was passed by indefinitely in the Senate Education and Health Committee on a 10 to 5 vote. (HB212)A bill related to abortion that would have made it a Class 4 felony to not treat an “infant born alive” passed the House on a 52 to 48 vote but was passed by indefinitely by the Senate Rules Committee on an 11 to 4 vote. (HB304)The Senate Education and Health Committee also defeated a bill to allow the Commissioner of Health to allow people to be exempt from vaccine mandates for religious reasons. That was defeated on a 9 to 6 vote. (HB306) Also passed by indefinitely is a bill that would have directed the Board of Education to provide alternate pathways for people who want to attain an advanced high school diploma. (HB340)Another would have created Parental Choice Education Savings Accounts. HB1024 passed the House of Delegates on a party-line 52 to 48 vote but was passed by indefinitely by the Senate Education and Health Committee on a 9 to 6 vote. A bill to prohibit the teaching of moral dynamics of race and sex had passed the House of Delegates on a 50 to 49 vote, but the Senate Education and Health committee passed this by indefinitely on a 9 to 6 vote. (HB787)A bill to require the Department of Planning and Budget to establish a program to reduce regulations and to limit spending by state government agencies made it out of the House of Delegates on a 51 to 47 vote, but the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee voted this down on a 11 to 4 vote. (HB244)That committee also killed a bill to lower the state’s gas tax rate for a one-year period. This was on a 12 to 4 vote. (HB1144)A bill to eliminate permanent lists for absentee voters passed the House of Delegates on a 52 to 46 vote but the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee voted to pass it by indefinitely on a 9 to 6 vote. (HB175)A bill that would allow some school security officers to carry a firearm passed the House on a 52 to 46 vote but was passed by indefinitely by the Senate Rules Committee on a 13 to 3 vote. (HB8)A bill that would have allowed high school students to be arrested for disorderly conduct on school property also was killed by the Rules Committee on a 13 to 3 vote. The House of Delegates had passed that 52 to 48. (HB89)The Senate Rules Committee also passed by indefinitely a bill that would have created a Commission on Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the Commonwealth. The vote was 14 to 2 on a bill that had passed the House of Delegates unanimously. (HB1057)Oral arguments scheduled for tomorrow in House 2022 race appealTomorrow afternoon, a three judge panel of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals will hold oral arguments for a lawsuit in which one party seeks an election in the House of Delegates this year. Richmond attorney Paul Goldman sued the Virginia Board of Elections last summer that argued the boundaries for the House of Delegates in the 2021 election were unconstitutional because they are out of date. For more on the case and how we got to where we are, I recommended reading Brad Kutner’s March 5 story on Courthouse News. Support the program!Special announcement of a continuing promo with Ting!

World-renowned professor Dr. Gino Yu unlocks the science of consciousness and presents his vision for the next stage of human evolution. He shares his personal awakening experience that led him from computer science and digital entertainment to exploring the world of mysticism and consciousness. His amazing work over decades draws together neuroscience, developmental and humanistic psychology, phenomenology, epistemology and eastern spiritual practices and philosophies. He explains the five stages of consciousness from how we first form our world view, to moving beyond prescribed roles and beliefs, to having existential crises as we break out of consensus reality (and its physiological challenges), to ego death and rebirth, and finally connecting back to wonderment, gratitude and our innate joy of being. As humanity collectively goes through the ascension, Gino offers his inspiring vision for how to support and guide this developmental process through his innovative projects - cutting edge as well as deeply humane and compassionate, they recognize entrepreneurship as a spiritual path, nurture future growth and evolution, and engender much needed community for people having awakening experiences around the globe. About Gino: Dr. Gino Yu's research spans Design Automation, Computer Animation, Video Games, Creativity, and Consciousness with over 60 publications.

Today we talk with Mark and Steve from the Podcast Editor Academy. While there are other resources that dive deep into audio, this website covers audio editing and goes deep into the "growing your editing business" side. If you're wondering how you get clients? They have sales scripts and insights from over 6000 editors. You don't have to know everything there is to know about audio to be an editor, and this website can help you start and grow a podcast editing service. My Favorite Podcast Is - DEADLINE December 14th, 2020 02:30 Every year the last episode of the year is made up of listeners (like you) sharing what their favorite podcast is and why (and be sure to mention your podcast as well). The deadline is December 14th, 2020 (next Monday) as it takes me some time to edit them all together. Go to www.schoolofpodcasting.com/question Podcast Editor Academy Founders Steve Stewart and Mark Deal Mark Deal has been helping businesses (especially lawyers) out of Atlanta and is the head of Podcast Atlanta (a HUGE group of podcasters). Steve Stewart started a financial podcast and started editing his friend's podcasts. This lead to another friend, and another friend which lead to Steve putting his podcast on pause and doing editing full time. He wanted a Facebook group that only talked about post-production so he created one (see http://podcasteditors.club/ ). Please note that the power of this group is it is clearly defined what they will (and more importantly will not ) talk about in the group. This makes it stand out from other groups, and it is growing at a rapid rate. The Podcast Editor Academy started with a conference of editors and continues to grow with special speakers, presentations, and roundtables. When I logged in, I was impressed with the smooth transition of content and resources. If your not sure if you should join the Podcast Editor Academy or Podcast Engineering School. Join the Academy as there is a HUGE discount for the Podcast Engineering School that will pay for the price of the Academy. So you could start with the Academy, and then if needed take a deep dive into audio using the discount for the Engineering School (along with many other discounts). If you want to start small, join the Facebook group and see what the discussions are like, and then joined the Academy when you're ready and keep up to date by signing up for their newsletter. Audio Editing Survey I'm thinking of launching my own editing service (or maybe include it as part of a package). As I always talk about giving your audience what they want, I need to know what you want when it comes to an audio editor (so I can decide if I want to pursue this or not).

Deborah Mills-Scofield Show Notes Deborah Mills-Scofield helps mid- to large-sized companies make “strategic planning” a verb. She is also a partner in an early-stage venture capital firm. Deb has written for Harvard Business Review and other venues, including her own blog, and has contributed to several books. Deb graduated from Brown University in three years and helped start the Cognitive Science concentration. After graduation, she went to AT&T Bell Labs, where her patent was one of the highest-revenue-generating patents for AT&T and Lucent. She is on the Advisory Council of Brown University’s Engineering School and lectures at Brown. Deb also mentors student entrepreneurs of all types, advises in the Brown Design Workshop, and supports those involved in STEAM. She measures her success by her clients’ success and their impact. Most passionate about There are two parts to that answer. The first part is my ‘work’ work, the paying kind, in which I’m working with mid- to large-sized companies, helping them discover where they want to be in three to five years and how they can get there. I help them encourage or enhance themselves if they already have a culture of innovation, or think outside the box—think of the old differently. To me, it starts with the customer, client, or end user (depending on what words they use). The second part is that I mentor and advise students at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, where I went to school. Working with these brilliant kids keeps me young mentally. It keeps me learning, keeps me challenged. If I can keep up with them, I’ll have no problem keeping up with my clients. My students study engineering, biology, chemistry, math, English, education—totally across the board. I mentor them and sometimes I also teach them. Then I get to introduce my clients to really cool kids, which helps them get interesting perspectives. Plus, I help my students find really interesting internships and jobs. It’s a nice symbiotic relationship. It all works really well for me. Deb’s three tenets There are three tenets I live my life by. These three tenets apply to my work life, my personal life, and my mentoring. There are three kinds of phrases: The first is not mine; it’s from a Jewish theologian and philosopher called Martin Buber: (I–It) and (I–Thou): “I” is I, meaning the person, while “It” means “Do I view the other person, or nature, as a function versus as a relationship?” “I-Thou” means that the other is a “thou”. They are not an objective; they are a person with a relationship, with a life. For me, it’s a key to how to view your customers internally or externally, because it’s all about them, it’s not about you. The second is: Rush to discover, don’t rush to solve. If you look at the world, at least the Western world, whenever you see a problem, you immediately try to fix it. You don’t try to find out why that’s a problem and what that means. You just try to fix it without knowing many things you probably should. And the last is: Your entire life, your approach to things should be: Experiment, Learn, Apply and Iterate. That’s how I live my life. I’m insatiably curious, which is a good thing but can also be a frustrating thing. I just really love learning … and then I try to discover patterns. Deb’s career and entrepreneurships’ development It started with growing up in the Northeast: New Jersey and New York City. I went to Brown and then to Bell Lab, which was the think tank for AT&T. I was 20 when I graduated and went there. I got paid to play and experiment with ideas. I had fantastic bosses and amazing mentors. They were all males, and they did everything to help me succeed. Later, my husband, who was a physics professor, got a job and we had to move to Chicago. My bosses did everything to ensure that I would keep working there. So, I flew all the time. Then, when we had children, my bosses...

In this episode, Marc explains how he — but not his website — got a mention in the New York Times, how he was glad to see family members after a long separation but was not glad to be acting out old roles, and how a negative Amazon review helped him reflect on the direction of the next edition of Repurpose Your Career.   Key Takeaways: [1:27] Marc welcomes you to Episode 133 of the Repurpose Your Career podcast.

A fourth chapter will be released by the time this episode airs. Sign up to be part of the review team at CareerPivot.com/RYCTeam. [2:36] You will receive new chapters as they become available. Marc is looking for honest feedback and would love to get an honest review on Amazon.com after the book is released. [2:47] Marc’s plan is to release the book in late-September and do both a virtual and a real book tour. He will be in Austin, the NYC Area, and D.C. during the months of September and October. Marc would love to meet his readers and listeners. [3:05] Reach out to Marc at Podcasts@CareerPivot.com if you’d be willing to give him some advice on venues or groups who would be interested in hosting an event. [3:15] Marc had planned to read a chapter of the next edition of Repurpose Your Career but decided to delay that a week so he could record this special episode. [3:27] This week, Marc talks about what he has learned in the previous couple of months from three different events he experienced. Marc hopes you will learn from this. [3:43] Marc welcomes you to the Repurpose Your Career podcast. When Marc woke up on the day he is recording this, he thought of three events over the last eight weeks that have shown him how much he has changed in his attitude and behavior. [4:18] Event 1. Marc was approached by Mark Miller who was writing an article for the New York Times on people who have had their retirement plans disrupted by being laid off. Marc gave Mark a couple of names from his Career Pivot Online Membership Community. You can learn about the community at CareerPivot.com/Community. [5:07] Mark selected Cleo Parker. Cleo was written up in the New York Times article, titled “Why Working Till Whenever Is a Risky Retirement Strategy.” Marc was really happy to see in the article from May 16 that Cleo got a lot of visibility including a photo of Cleo with her dogs in Livonia Michigan. [5:47] Cleo had expected to keep her job as a marketing analyst in the automotive industry well into her 60s but at 62 is on the job hunt instead. Her plans blew up in 2008 with the whole automotive industry crashing. Cleo was one of the early members of the Career Pivot Online Membership Community. [6:16] Over the last 10 years, Cleo bounced from job to job, mostly by contract. She has turned her life-long love of dogs into a business. As Cleo has written, what was really exciting was that the author, Mark Miller, included a link to her Dog Marketing Blog. [6:51] Cleo was pretty uncomfortable for being the poster child for the unemployed of our [Boomer] generation. This is similar to what Marc heard from Elizabeth White, who wrote the book 55, Underemployed, and Faking Normal: Your Guide to a Better Life. Learn more about Elizabeth White in CareerPivot.com/episode-109. [7:12] Out of this article, Cleo has gotten a decent consulting gig of 20 to 30 hours. [7:33] Marc was pretty excited about the article. When Mark asked Marc how he wanted to describe him, he wrote that Marc Miller was a career consultant based out of Austin, Texas. Marc didn’t ask to include the link to his website. In the past, Marc would have really beaten himself up over that. This time, he said, “Oh, well … That’s fine.” [8:01] Marc has noticed that he is not as bothered by his mistakes anymore. A website link in the New York Times would be a very big deal for search engine optimization. He was thrilled that this is playing out for Cleo. [8:30] Event 2. When the article published on May 16, Marc sent an email to his brother and to his own son about being quoted in an article in the New York Times. His brother replied and invited Marc to his son’s wedding. Marc and his family have been estranged. [10:06] Marc and Mrs. Miller attended the wedding. Marc wants his sister-in-law, who listens to the Repurpose Your Career podcast to know they had a great time and it was an interesting experience. It was nice to see all the family, but New Jersey is not where Marc and Mrs. Miller want to be. [11:43] As much as Marc’s brother’s family are very wonderful people, Marc doesn’t want to go back to the United States all that much. [11:56] Marc grew up very learning-disabled. When he went to college, he graduated from Northwestern’s Engineering School in three-and-a-half years, never taking an English course. When Marc graduated from high school, he could barely read. [12:17] Like many Boomers, Marc became an ‘actor.’ He went to work for IBM and played roles in his jobs and changed himself to fit those roles. He made very good money but wore himself out and became someone he was not. [12:47] When Marc was with his brother’s family, he went back and forth from being his normal introverted self to being someone talking way too much at the dinner table. How Marc behaved at times at the wedding is not who Marc is. It is a learned behavior. The learned behaviors Marc used in his career have been emotionally damaging to himself. [13:52] It’s only now that Marc is learning that he doesn’t have to behave that way. He has choices. He thoroughly enjoyed himself and he is glad he went and he will not be repeating the trip frequently. Marc will go back for his 40th high school reunion, in October. He hopes not to slip into his old behaviors. [14:44] Event 3. When the Millers came back, Marc went back to his routines. He asked a few people to write reviews for his book. One person wrote a very, very negative review, which Marc shares here. [15:15] The review is titled, “Title misleading.” It turns out the reviewer assumed the book was about starting a business. The reviewer gave a synopsis, which Marc agrees with, but the reviewer was really looking for a different kind of book. [16:00] Marc’s response on reading it was, “Wow!” In the past, he would have beaten himself up over this review. [16:09] Marc is looking at refocusing the next edition of the book he is working on with his co-author Susan Lahey right now. The key piece to remember is that we are living in a time where things are changing rapidly. The rules for careers are changing rapidly. Healthcare in the U.S. is a huge problem for the Millers, which is why they are expats. [17:19] It is really hard to get anyone to write a review on Amazon, either good or bad. Most people simply will not do it. Marc read the review and saw that it fits in with where he is headed with this podcast and the website. In the second half of life, the rules are being rewritten. For a lot of us Boomers, this is really, really uncomfortable. [18:07] Marc sees the old guard in Washington trying to maintain the way things have been and it’s not working. The younger generation taking over are not like us who are over 60. See the three-part series “The Career Pivot Multi-generational Workplace Workshop” in Episode 111, Episode 112, and Episode 113. [18:42] This next edition will be more about how things have changed. Your life and career — which will last into our 80s — will look very different than it did 20 years ago. Work in your 70s and 80s will probably not be full-time employment. It may be multiple part-time jobs and freelancing. [19:36] That will be a big shakeup for many folks — not being an employee but possibly being self-employed. [19:46] Marc has reflected from these three events how much he has changed and how much his mindset has changed. Two years ago, Marc would not have believed he would be happily living in Mexico, and his wife would be incredibly happy in Mexico. [20:21] In spite of being well-paid, and being a good saver, Marc has always worried about money. Marc doesn’t worry about money, anymore. He is about to make a significant investment in the Career Pivot website. He wouldn’t have done that five years ago. [21:34] When negative things come in, like the three events Marc talked about, none of it bothers him anymore. He can make mistakes and move on. That is a huge shift for Marc. [22:01] Marc has built his world the way he wants it to be now, which is not how he was raised. They have gotten rid of pretty much everything they owned. Next year they plan to sell their car in the U.S. and go carless for a while. They make decisions based on their ideas, not on what society tells them to do. Marc’s roles are in mainly in the past. [22:54] The next edition of the book is meant to be more aspirational and get you to understand what is happening, what you need to do, and to get you to think and reflect. [23:09] Some people have asked Marc for generalized roadmaps to remake yourself. The answer is, he can’t give them that because we are all so different. Marc has done about 400 Career Pivot evaluations and he can tell you that people are really different. Many people cannot separate themselves from the actors they became in their careers. [23:56] This is the second time Marc recorded this episode. The first time, he went into way too much detail. Marc hopes you will see some of yourself in this episode. [24:40] Marc hopes you enjoyed this episode. A solo episode requires a lot of editing! Show notes can be found at CareerPivot.com/episode-133 with links to the New York Times article and Cleo’s Dog Marketing Blog. In the near future, you will hear about others in the Career Pivot Online Membership Community. [25:10] The Career Pivot Membership Community website has become a valuable resource for about 50 members who are participating in the Beta phase of this project. Marc is recruiting new members for the next cohort. [25:21] If you are interested in the endeavor and would like to be put on the waiting list, please go to CareerPivot.com/Community. When you sign up you’ll receive information about the community as it evolves. [25:34] Those who are in these initial cohorts set the direction. This is a paid membership community with group coaching and special content. More importantly, it’s a community where you can seek help. Please go to CareerPivot.com/Community to learn more. They are starting a group for bloggers, writers, authors, and publishers.[26:07] Marc invites you to connect with him on LinkedIn.com/in/mrmiller.

Engineering school was one hell of a ride. I am very fortunate and appreciative of the opportunities that my education has given me. However, if I was to redo engineering school, there are three things I would do differently. In this episode, I share three things that I would redo in engineering school: study computer science, participate in professional organizations, and take more risk.   For more information, check out worksleeve.com  

Michael Flatau was born and raised in Tampa, FL. He got his first bass guitar, a mismatched, rebuilt, home tampered, hand-me-down, at 12 years old. By the age of 16 he and friends started an angst filled adolescent pop punk band Agent 23, which he played bass and fronted. They played a handful of gigs at the Brass Mug in Tampa prior to Mike leaving for FSU in 2000. Once in college, Flatau played music off and on while attending Engineering School, but his creative energy was refocused when he joined the FSU Flying High Circus in 2002. He performed Double Trapeze, Adagio, Juggling and Teeter Board and doubled as a coach for various aerial and ground acts. His leadership developed in the Flying High Circus when he took on the role of Ring Master once a vacancy opened. It wasn’t until the summer of his first year of graduate school that Mike returned to performing music on stage. He joined the female fronted band Mujabica, who gigged throughout Florida and Georgia for the next four years. After traveling between Tallahassee and Crestview for 2 years, he helped Chavis Hobbs and Rigel Forte form the band New Earth Army in 2011, bringing his singer from Mujabica, Carly Cermack, with him. What started as a 4 piece fusion blues rock band with eccentric vocals and eclectic influences eventually blossomed into the horn and guitar driven blues funk band they are today. With New Earth Army, Mike played several festivals, including the infamous Spirit of the Suwanee River Music Park, and opened for bands including the Revivalists, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, the Floozies, the Main Squeeze, Big Sam’s Funky Nation, and the Fritz to name a few. Flatau recorded and produced 3 albums with New Earth Army, building his love for the craft as a sound engineer. This also opened the door for Flatau as a session musician. In 2012 Flatau got his first taste of special event planning when he and bandmates arranged a charity event for common friend (and cancer survivor), Holly McEwan, thusly named Rock 4 Holly. While in New Earth Army, Flatau saw a dire need for original music in the Northwest Florida Emerald Coast. He and fellow bandmate Rigel formed and founded the local and regional music and arts festival Okaloosa RevFest in 2013. After the first year, Flatau fully took over the reins for RevFest. The event has steadily grown over the past 6 years as they entertain over 1,000 attendees annually and continue to raise thousands of dollars for the Special Forces Association: Chapter 7. That was also the longest bio ever.

Merriam Webster defines the word CYBER as relating to, or involving computers or computer networks (such as the Internet). Cybersecurity refers to a set of techniques used to protect the integrity of these networks, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access. The core functionality of cybersecurity involves protecting our information and systems from major breaches in security or cyber threats. More and more, hackers are finding new ways to threaten and attack our networks and are creating and refining the tools that they use to break through the cyber defenses that are in place to protect our data, social networks and systems such as power grids, voting machines, etc. The cyberattack on the Equifax credit reporting agency in 2017, that led to the theft of Social Security numbers, birth dates, and additional data on almost half the U.S. population, was a scary realization that hackers are targeting enormous numbers of people…..daily. Recent news makes it clear that Russian hackers targeted voting systems in several American states before the 2016 presidential election. So many of us were shocked to realize that up to 87 million Facebook users had their personal data ending up in the hands of a voter-profiling company called Cambridge Analytica. We learned directly from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, that Facebook itself methodically scrutinizes and keeps track of the particulars of its users’ daily online lives…… details that people often readily volunteer — age, employer, relationship status, likes and location, etc. AND can learn almost anything about users by using artificial intelligence to analyze online behavior. Lucky for all of us, there are brilliant men and women all over the world working to not only protect us now, but also predict and protect us from future threats. Right here at Carnegie Mellon University, The world-renowned CyLab Security and Privacy Institute approaches security and privacy research with a cross-disciplinary, holistic mindset. Experts here think beyond the traditional boundaries of pure engineering and computer science solutions to big problems. They look further into the human factors that make security and privacy usable as well as the economics and social sciences behind the decisions people make with technology. Just as importantly, they must understand the policy ideas that power the network safety of our private and public enterprises. They know that security and privacy affects every aspect of daily life, from a technician safeguarding the resiliency of a city’s electric grid to a small child learning to read watching videos on an iPad. This issue affects each and every one of us. Thankfully, we talk with one of the world’s most respected leaders on this subject on today’s episode. Dr. Douglas Sicker is the Director of CMU’s Cylab Security and Privacy Institute, Department Head of Engineering and Public Policy, the Lord Endowed Chair of Engineering and Professor in the College of Engineering School of Computer Science, as well as Heinz College.
