Episode 83: Stephen Wiedler. Stephen grew up in the New York area and was naturally a New York Rangers fan. We talked about his funny memories of the Stanley Cup run in 1994 and what it was like to witness it. Stephen would eventually find himself at D3 Elmira College before transferring to University of Southern Maine where he would play 3 seasons and even be captain. After college, Stephen would play 2 years of pro in the SPHL before landing a coaching job at Curry College, coached by TJ Manastersky. Stephen and I talked about his grind the first couple years of working hard with little money and not ideal living arrangements while at Curry. I brought up a funny story about a concept called the “rattle jar”, which was essentially a jar that the head coach would have to donate money to when he sent the assistant coaches on a nonsense mission. This funny tradition started at Curry College with TJ. Stephen would then head to D1 American International College (AIC) where he would spend 5 seasons and learning from Eric Lang. Stephen would then switch to University of Vermont, where he has recently finished his 1st season as HC. We also talked about what it means to be a Catamount and the characteristics behind the type of hockey they try to play at UofV. I always enjoy talking to fellow D3 graduates who have made their way up the ranks in the sport of hockey. Hope you enjoy!

This week we played Blood Rage designed by Eric Lang and produced by CMON Games. We cover a few dark stories and have a very important message for our YouTube listeners which I'll type here:If you listen to any of our podcasts on YouTube: Games Over Board, The Wellhouse Exorcism, or Danger and Dice, you WON'T get any new episodes after August 26th. So if you want to keep listening to us, you must start using a podcast app to do so. All of our old episodes will still be available and we will continue to make other videos and live-streams which will still be on YouTube...just NOT our podcast. Again, this applies to all of our shows and it starts August 26. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, we talk about it more at the very start of this episode. Seriously, right after introductions we discuss it in more detail.Special thanks to David Gledhill and Slo-Mo for allowing us to use their song "Boy From the City."

Research finds that there was a 44% increase in insider threat incidents across all types of organizations, and 56% of the reported incidents were due to negligence. Equally alarming is that the average annual cost to remediate a negligence incident was $6.6 million. Dr. Eric Lang, Ph.D., Director, Personnel and Security Research Center (PERSEREC), United States Department of Defense, draws upon his research to share some of the (science-based) commandments for understanding and countering insider threats. Emphasizing the criticality of human factors, Dr. Lang contends that "without individuals' sincere commitments, the most extensive insider threat policies will fail."Time Stamps02:27 -- So Eric, let's first talk about yourself and your professional journey.04:36 -- What motivated you to write the article Seven [ Science-Based] Commandments for Understanding and Countering Insider Threats?07:51 -- The first commandment states that "Human factors are paramount. Thou shalt not worship technology above personal and social dynamics solutions." Tell us more about it.15:16 -- Moving along to your second commandment, you say, "Employees are an organization's greatest strength, especially for identifying insider threats. Thou shalt improve supervisory and co-worker reporting." Many employees are reluctant to report potential threats they encounter. I would assume organizations recognize the challenges and have appropriate structures and mechanisms in place to encourage more honest reporting. Your thoughts?20:45 -- Many psychological factors could come in the way of somebody alerting the organization about a possible insider threat. Thoughts?26:36 -- I will be very surprised if great organizations, when they make decisions to improve cybersecurity, governance, cybersecurity readiness, those decisions are not influenced by experts in human psychology, the clinical psychologist, or whoever the right person is. Thoughts?31:07 -- A reactive approach to cybersecurity governance doesn't cut it. Thoughts?38:37 -- So let me ask you, what do you think are any of the top three things that most employees care about for their job?43:33 -- Before we conclude, if you'd like to share a few final thoughts.Memorable Eric Lang Quotes/Statements"73% of the successful exfiltration incidents were conducted without using technology.""Technology is necessary but not sufficient, humans will find a way around it. And in this case, 73% succeeded in the exfiltration.""What was a common successful method for foreign adversaries to get sensitive US industrial information? The answer is they asked for it. It was a form of social engineering in very many cases.""Technology [often] misperforms not because of malicious intent, but because it was ill-developed.""So why do employees in an organization with a See Something Say Something policy, often hesitate to report? There are a number of social psychological factors such as 'don't be a snitch' cultural norm. They don't want a coworker to lose their job. They might have a fear of retaliation."Social psychologists often note an effect called "diffusion of responsibility" when people don't report a potential exfiltration incident."If you are aware of something of potential concern, and there are many other people also in the environment, you might think that many people have the same awareness I do, I'm sure someone else will report it. This is called "diffusion of responsibility" in social psychological research.""Policy is important, but the execution of it, and bringing employees into correct awareness and engagement is the most important...

Insider threats are a major risk to all companies, not just those in the national security space. But it's important to know who the threat actors are – and why they're acting. Dr. Eric Lang, director of the DoD Personnel and Security Research Center, or PERSEREC, discusses his work on insider threat, and why non-malicious actors are as concerning as the headline grabbing cases we see. You can read more in his 7 Science-Based Commandments for Understanding and Countering Insider Threats."Because it's always a human we just need to pay more attention to human factors, issues," said Lang. "Technology will always be important, but we're just not paying enough attention to the human factors, issues, and particularly the non-malicious actors who are causing those issues."

Episode SummaryEric Lang is the President and co-founder of ZipGrow, an organization that educates, equips, and empowers local farmers to grow better food for their communities using their patented ZipGrow technology. Today, Harry and Eric talk about the importance of educating the masses on the overall AgTech industry, why local is better than organic, and what ZipGrow is doing to fix the broken food model. Eric expounds on one of the latest offerings from ZipGrow, ZipPods, and advice he has for aspiring farmers looking to break into the industry.Thanks to Our SponsorsCultivatd – https://cultivatd.com/Indoor AgCon '22 - https://indoor.ag/Use promo code 'VFP' to receive 20% your registrationKey Takeaways07:13 – Eric Lang joins the show to discuss his traditional farming background, founding multiple companies, what he learned from early leadership roles, and his mindset as he entered the AgTech space13:37 – How Eric was able to apply his experience growing up on a dairy farm to AgTech18:03 – Eric's approach to building a world-class team and fostering an impactful culture20:46 – Eric's growth as a leader and the various skills necessary to become a successful farmer29:15 – ZipGrow's current offerings and the markets they are serving36:29 – The inspiration behind ZipPods and branching out beyond leafy greens43:59 – Advice Eric would give to those looking to enter the industry and where Eric sees the biggest growth opportunity48:50 – Upcoming projects that ZipGrow is working on55:23 – A tough question Eric has had to ask himself recently, what keeps him motivated, and a specific ask he has for his colleagues in the industry1:03:38 – Harry thanks Eric for joining the show and lets listeners know where they can go to connect with him and learn more about ZipGrowTweetable Quotes“One of the reasons I love being out in this area, even though we have maybe less of a choice of employees, when I find those other farm kids who are talented and skilled, they can and do do everything.” (17:28) (Eric)“I think the reality is coming from traditional Ag, as much as I do absolutely believe in the product, the industry, changing the world, and feeding people, I also come from the perspective that it has to have an ROI (return on investment). You can't just hope and feel good about doing something great and not ever actually make money.” (22:16) (Eric)“We have everything from online hobby, to school and education, which is a big thing for us. We're very committed to educating students and young people to make sure they understand and have an opportunity to get connected with the food they eat and understand where it comes from. But, of course, our bread and butter is still commercial farms.” (29:32) (Eric)“I still absolutely believe that proper indoor warehouse farms are the most economical way of growing indoors that you can get. But there are certain situations where that doesn't necessarily make sense.” (38:47) (Eric)“A big focus for us is actually really getting into high-margin, high-volume crops, especially due to the nature of our actual equipment. It's well suited to traceability. It's completely clean and completely repeatable. We're actually getting into strawberries, which we've been doing for six months and we've been killing it. But also, we're getting into the next step, which is bio- pharmaceuticals and bio-cosmetics.” (40:27) (Eric)Resources MentionedEric's LinkedIn –

Recorded at Metatopia Online 2021 Presented by Tanya Pobuda, Sarah Stang, Erika Chung, Eric Lang. We know where we stand - gaming, specifically analog gaming in this case, has a sexism and racism problem. We've proven that through our research. Now that we have the data to back up our lived experiences, what can we do to fix the problems?

Our first stop in this sector of the known decisioverse is with the 2015 smash hit Blood Rage -- currently ranked as the 40th best board game of all time according to the users at Board Game Geek. In this episode we think a lot about the type of decision space offered by this innovative hybrid game that seeks to offer the best of both 2015 Euro and Ameritrash sensibilities, while at the same time seeking to be a game that is bigger than the box. Does it deliver on these incredible ambitions? Hop in because this space craft is departing now!

Marketing campaigns can be a successful shot in the dark or a misfired attempt to replicate previously famous campaigns. But when viral works, boy does it work. That's something Exploding Kittens' Elan Lee and Eric Lang learned from their experience marketing the unusual card game at games conventions and on Kickstarter.The secret to their success has been, as they put it, a result of cultivating surprise and joy – not only for their audience, but also for themselves. A case in point is the eight-foot high fuzzy vending machine they exhibited at several conventions.The machine dispensed random items while, in the background, staff were busy creating weird and wonderful gifts for the hordes of curious attendees. When someone dressed as Game of Thrones' Daenerys Targaryen got in line, they swiftly bedazzled a watermelon, creating a magic moment for Exploding Kittens fans that soon went viral online.Exploding Kittens CEO Elan Lee and game designer Eric Lang were on the creatiff stage at Collision 2022.Image: Diarmuid Greene/Web Summit (CC BY 2.0)Use promo code 'TNS10' for 10% off your #CollisionConf ticket now.
