On this episode, Derek sits with Dan Holdridge.  Dan is a former IT Engineer and a survivor of the September 11th, 2001 attacks.  I asked him to come on the show as part of my “Derek Duvall Show 9/11 Outreach Program” as he is our first survivor of the attack on the Pentagon.  Dan will discuss his origin story, how he came to work for General Dynamics Information Technology and what brought him to the Pentagon.  We will then talk about the attack on September 11th attack and how he dodged sure death by 10 feet and how a clipboard and a cigarette saved his life when a hijacked American Flight 77 was flown into the building.  We then discuss his book, “Surviving September 11th” and how we should all take 90 minutes to appreciate life and tell our loved ones how much we love them as we may never get that opportunity tomorrow.Website: https://danholdridge.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/danholdridge.speaker/Twitter/X: https://x.com/DanHoldridgeSPONSOR - Go to https://betterhelp.com/derekduvallshow for 10% off your first month of therapy with @betterhelp and get matched with a therapist who will listen and help #sponsored

On June 14, Reuters published an article about the US Military's clandestine program to discredit China's Sinovac vaccine during the early days of Covid-19. Turns out the Pentagon hired an outside agency to purposefully spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) about the Chinese inoculation program by flooding social media with anti-vax propaganda. It was a smack in the face for anyone—including us—who's been calling for sound public health measures over the last four years. And it very likely killed people in Southeast Asia. This week, we look at the harrowing reporting that revealed a shameful, interventionary program that began under the Trump administration and persisted at least a few months into the Biden presidency. We'll also review the very few conspiritualists that have even covered the story—somewhat surprising, given that a good ol' government conspiracy is their bread and butter. But what happens when anti-vaxxers are confronted with a government-led anti-vax program, enacted by the same military that some of them, like RFK Jr, want to drastically reduce? Let's find out.

Planning, Resilience, and Honesty.In this episode of The Outspoken Podcast, host Shana Cosgrove talks to Garrett Yee, Vice President and General Manager at General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT). Garrett talks about his transition to the private sector after 35 years with the U.S. Army, serving in the Middle East and ultimately as Deputy Director of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). He recalls learning perseverance after a difficult early-life experience—getting kicked out of Navy ROTC in his freshman year for poor grades—and then starting over with the Army. He talks about learning how important it is for leaders to keep smiling and about his efforts to stay honest and open. Garrett tells Shana his early vision for his life was that he'd grow up to be a teacher and a park ranger and says he's now back in nature following his passion for photographing birds.QUOTES“When things are important to us, we find the time to do it. So why wouldn't we find the time to plan for the next phase? . . .

If a cyber attack can take down an entire pipeline, what's next? As news from the recent attack on Colonial Pipeline continues to develop, owners and operators, the U.S. government and the public continue to question the dangerous implications behind our critical infrastructure lacking the proper cybersecurity against dangerous hackers.  "20 years ago, if you wanted to attack operational technology (OT) or an industrial control system you had to specifically target it," says Dr. Dennis Hackney, Head of Cybersecurity Services Development. "Now, all you have to do is look and see where a connection exists between the information technology (IT) and OT environments.""Oil and gas [industries] have historically underinvested in cybersecurity," says Kyriakos "Rock" Lambros, cyber expert and CEO and Founder of RockCyber, LLC. "While OT systems are being targeted, most of the impact that we're seeing are casualties of war. The IT side of the house is targeted and then the ransomware moves laterally throughout the network because there aren't good controls in place."Tune in as host Ian Bramson dives into the minds of cybercriminals like DarkSide and discusses how this historic event will impact industrial operations and new cyber regulations moving forward.

This week I've called up another member of the DC Cupcake Brigade. Michelle Strah's business card (@cyberslate) says "Manager, Information Systems at General Dynamics Information Technology". While that might seem intense, (and believe me, it is) this means she is in the trenches with government's move toward transparency and open data. Her work deals specifically with Veterans Affairs but the principles we discuss can be applied to the public and private sectors equally. There's a lot of content to get to, but I learned a lot during this recording. Hopefully you will too. Enjoy.PS. Just in case you were wondering: The thoughts and opinions expressed in this presentation are Michelle's alone and are not representative, unless clearly and unequivocally stated, of those of any past, present, or future client or employer.   Send your feedback to feedback@justtalkingpodcast.com   Feel free to subscribe to Just Talking on iTunes, on the Zune Marketplace or add the RSS feed to your preferred bookmarking service.   Run Time - 1:11:38
