This audio is brought to you by Wearcheck, your condition monitoring specialist. Diversified mining company African Rainbow Minerals (ARM) is supporting postdoctoral research into water, energy and digitalisation at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in Johannesburg. The investment is firmly located within the university's mining precinct and dovetails with the university's broader initiatives in quantum computing, fintech and innovation. ARM will sponsor a R20-million endowment, which will be invested in perpetuity. The investment return on the endowment will be used to support research in the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment. The ARM postgraduate fellowship programme aims to develop a critical mass of skills in South Africa through supporting a new cohort of postdoctoral fellows specialising in water resource management, digitalisation, and work towards a Just Energy Transition. ARM founder and executive chairperson, Dr Patrice Motsepe, a Wits alumnus, described partnering with South African institutions of higher learning as being of paramount importance. "Public-private partnerships are crucial in addressing the socio-economic and environmental challenges confronting our communities and country," Motsepe emphasised. "ARM works with several universities across South Africa, supporting young people from undergraduate to post-graduate studies, helping them to realise their dreams," said Motsepe. "Some of these students come from communities neighbouring our mining operations. We also contribute to the development and upliftment of poor rural and urban communities in South Africa by educating students from these communities," Motsepe added. Wits Vice-Chancellor and Principal Professor Zeblon Vilakazi, in a release to Mining Weekly, recognised the importance of digital transformation in the mining industry, and the necessity to develop the critical skills needed to advance South Africa's economy. Vilakazi expressed confidence that through more private sector partnerships such as the ARM partnership, Wits could help to make a major contribution to the development of the critical skills and research needed to secure long-term mining industry sustainability. Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment Dean, Professor Thokozani Majozi, highlighted the need for urgency in transitioning to a more sustainable and just energy system. "Research and promotion of accessible, affordable, and socio-economically just renewable energy solutions are our top priorities," said Majozi, who reiterated the university's aim to contribute to the sustainable management of water resources through research, education, increased awareness and community engagement. "This includes addressing challenges related to water scarcity, pollution and climate change," he added. ARM CEO Phillip Tobias described the postdoctoral fellowship programme as testament to ARM's commitment to addressing critical challenges in water, energy and digitalisation. "This initiative is about creating a pipeline of future critical skills that will cater for future business needs. We believe that through this collaboration, we can make a significant impact and leave a lasting legacy that will provide innovative and sustainable solutions that will benefit not only the mining industry but broader South African society as well," Tobias said. The ARM Wits partnership has resulted in the current Chamber of Mines Building on the Braamfontein West Campus, facing the M1 highway, being renamed the Wits ARM Building, an edifice which is a central component of the university's academic and research infrastructure. Opened in 1989 with the fourth quadrant completed in 2012, the building houses the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment's administration, the School of Mining Engineering, and the School of Electrical and Information Engineering. It is also home to the multidisciplinary Wits Mining Institute, DigiMine, and two other research entities.

Professor Ioannis Brilakis, the Laing O'Rourke Professor of Civil & Information Engineering at the University of Cambridge (UK), discusses how AI in infrastructure transforms the future of the Built Environment: · making roads safer and greener, · robotics and automation science and technology, · game technologies in construction plant safety operations, · 3D mobile mapping and digital twins for infrastructure, · moving forward with the digitalisation of industrial operations, · minimise risk and increase safety, · why and how research projects should transform.

Mike Vedomske, PhD in Systems and Information Engineering and Senior Data Scientist at Nike, joins the podcast to discuss data science. Is data science different than machine learning? What kind of data do you use and how is it collected or mined? What types of algorithms do you use? What is multiple linear regression? What kind of tools are available? How do you use visualization to explore data? How is data science improving the world?

A homegrown expandable minigrid solution that researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) have been developing, testing and refining for several years has now been fully commercialised to be marketed and sold locally and throughout Africa as the Peco Powerbrick. The innovation is based on the pioneering work of academics and students at the university's School of Electrical and Information Engineering who, under the direction of Professor Willie Cronje, have been working on an expandable and affordable offgrid solution for low-income African households since 2014. The technology is still being assembled at a Wits facility, but is being commercialised through Peco Power, a joint venture comprising impact investment group Umbono Natural Resources, Wits and Cronje and his team of postgraduates. Peco Power CEO Dorian Wrigley tells Engineering News that the target market remains those low-income households without access to electricity. However, the commercial solution has been adapted for possible use by grid-connected households seeking a cost-effective back-up during load-shedding. Therefore, the Peco Powerbrick that will be sold at various retail sites across South Africa can be charged from a regular power socket, whereas the original concept was premised on the energy arising from a small solar panel only. In addition, the original DC microgrid concept has been redesigned and coupled with an off-the-shelf AC inverter, to make it a true plug-and-play solution that can immediately incorporate 220 V appliances, such as fridges, computers, Wifi routers and televisions. The commercial unit incorporates a built-in lithium-iron-phosphate battery, which makes it relatively light weight, and is guaranteed to provide a minimum of 2 000 cycles, the equivalent of six to seven years of daily use before any cell replacement is required. Wrigley believes the solution could, therefore, also find a market among those camping or 4x4 enthusiasts seeking a light-weight off-grid solution for when travelling to sites with no or limited grid connectivity. The main differentiator of the Peco Powerbrick, however, lies in its patented mini-grid technology, which makes the system scalable. “Inside every single PowerBrick is a mini-grid,” Cronje explains. “When I plug two PowerBricks together that expands to form one larger mini-grid.” This modular ‘Lego-block-type' concept represents a departure from current off-grid power offerings, which are linear in nature. The result is a power grid that is able to accommodate multiple loads by scaling up the power and battery components in line with a household's energy needs and/or financial means. “The mini-grid is scalable from 70 W to 500 W of continuous power, or 2 500 W of peak power and the battery storage is expandable from 150 Wh to 2 500 Wh,” Wrigley says. Another key driver has been affordability, with the entry-level 70 W/150Wh system expected to retail for R3 799 and the top-of-the-range 200 W/600 Wh system expected to cost R7 999. Wrigley anticipates that the initial sales impetus is likely to arise from South African households seeking a system that is able to keep cell phones charged, Wifi routers on, and computers powered for two- to three-hour load-shedding stints. However, he stresses that the original vision of providing an affordable solution for the 100-million African households without access to electricity remains firmly intact. To service that market, Peco Power is aiming to partner with nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) or faith-based communities in deploying the system through a “community franchise model”, whereby the franchisee rents the system out to communities that are unable to afford the upfront cost of the system. “For approximatel R350 000 you can set up a franchise with 100 Peco Powerbricks. “If those units are then rented out at R100 a month, the franchisee would generate a R10 000 monthly income, while 100 households would have access to affordable power...

Today, we are going to be talking with Dale Callahan. I've known Dale for several years. He is an entrepreneur who has served and coached many start-up businesses.  Dale is also a university faculty member at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He teaches engineering and leads the executive graduate program in Information Engineering and Management as well as the entrepreneurship program.  Dale's passion is helping people who want to take responsibility for their lives and break out of the corporate rut. He comes alongside budding entrepreneurs who want to take back control of their time, money, and life by teaching them they are a company of one. This means that, instead of teaching people to just leave their day job, Dale maximizes the things we all want. What is it that we all desire? Control of our time (personal freedom), control of our income (not being controlled by our pay grade and 3% raises), and control of our lives (getting back to being in control instead of being controlled by someone else's arbitrary system). We'll dive deeper into these concepts: How to create a value proposition based on your expertise. How, even in your current job, you might talk with your boss about the value he needs from you. How to figure out the pain points you'll solve when creating your new business. The surprising thing that Dale discovered about Chick-Fil-A's target customer.

Today we discuss 7 things I have learned from being an entrepreneur. While there are many courses, especially in universities that teach entrepreneurship, I have found a lot of what they talk about and teach to miss the point. The academic model of entrepreneurship just does not translate into the real world if you really want to make money. So today - let's talk about seven of those things. 7 Things I Have Learned from Being an Entrepreneur Execution is everything. Action means more than plans. You cannot determine how your customers should spend their money. Broke people are not really broke. Niche market products are better. Think about My Pillow. Money is the easy part. Marketing is more important than the product. Prospects lie, customers speak the truth. Click here to listen now. Subscribe & Review in iTunes Are you subscribed to my Company of One?

Want to know how coaching works? I know I did before I got into my first coaching session. I had just shelled out a good amount of money and was coming into my first coaching call, wondering if it was going to help move the needle. Since I started coaching, I get a lot of people asking me about how coaching works. There is a curiosity about coaching - especially what we often call executive, career, or startup coaching - which all tend to look the same as how they operate - just with different desired outcomes.  Recently a client told me that he was getting lots of advice from others (people who had expertise in the field), but yet, nothing was holding him accountable. So today, I wanted to give a picture of how coaching works, who it can help, and why it might be worth the investment of your time and money. How Coaching Works Remember the old adage - "You get what you pay for."? This adage tends to be true for advice as well. Good coaching has four critical components: It helps you define success. Most of us are not sure what success looks like. Even when we think we know, we have a clouded vision of success. Coaching helps you get clarity. Gives you perspective. A coach should have worked with all kinds of people in all types of situations. So when they share information or ask you questions, they come from a breadth of experience. If you just get advice, coming from someone who is an expert at what you want to do, they can only speak to their expertise. Perspective helps you see more options. They are invested in you. Think about fitness coaching. At the gym, the guy in great shape next to you is a good person to ask some questions about how he got in shape. He may give great answers and advice. But, he is not invested in you, nor is he interested in helping you meet your goals. Accountability. This seems trivial but is the critical part. Once you have invested in you (by putting your skin in the game and paying for a coach), you will show up. You have invested. And, once you have invested, you will feel stupid if you do not do the work needed to help you grow. The coach, by sheer definition of the business, holds you accountable. You will feel pressure to answer for the work you did to meet your goal. Want to check it out for free? Schedule Your 45-Minute Discovery Session with me.  Click here to listen now.

Seven things you must know about your boss. Too often we think that our job description is supposed to tell us about our job. Of course, we all know that is does not, and it is often the joke - or the point of contention. But forget your job description - after all, it is more about protecting your employer legally than it is about you. So what is your real job description? Your Boss = Your Customer In episode 174, I covered the Company of One concept. In this concept, I explained that the customer is the person who hands money to you in exchange for the services you perform. So, your boss is your customer. But let's get a little more specific. The customer is any person who can impact the flow of money into your pocket. This means that your boss, your boss's boss, your co-worker, your vendors, etc. Yes - it gets complicated. But it is always complex. Think of a car dealer trying to sell a new car. You and your five-year-old son go into the dealer to look. Your five-year-old is not the person who is going to pay for the vehicle, but if the dealer mistreats your five-year-old, then he/she has lost your business. So, in the Company of One definition - the five-year-old is one of the customers. The point is, the customer relationship is always a little complex. True for you also. To define your customer, start by taking inventory of the people who can impact your pay at work. You might end up with one person or twenty. It does not matter, so long as you get clear who they are. Then focus on the key people. They are likely going to be your boss and your boss's boss. But either way, consider them all bosses. In the world of Company of One thinking, boss=customer. So go ahead, make a list of who they are. I will wait. The Seven Things You Must Know About Your Boss Now that you know who they are, you need to understand there are seven things you must know about your boss (and each one of your bosses or customers) What is their role in the organization? Meaning, what is their responsibility. Think in terms of money - how does their job impact the flow of money in the company? What is their relationship to you? No, we do not just mean titles and who works for who- but how does workflow between you? Do they provide things for you to do? Do you provide a service for them? How do you depend on each other? What do they value? What keeps them awake at night? What are their priorities? How do they win? How do you serve them? Why Should You Care? OK, so you now know about the seven things you must know about your boss.  Now that you know what matters and how your boss can win,  you also see how you can win. You should have clarity about: What matters. What work has to be done with quality. What information your customer (boss) needs and when. What you can ignore.   Click here to listen now.

So if you are willing to serve others and looking for ways to start making money in a crisis - you are in the right place. But I know what you are thinking.

Want to know how to get more of what you want? Last week we talked about the question: ”Is it OK to want more?” so today we will tackle how to get more.  Let's dive into where we left off and how to get what you really want. The secret that always works. It works for individuals, companies, and teams.  My example of how to get more will use a popular weight lifting app-  StrongLifts First the simple formula. To reach a goal and get more, you have to have a few tools. First is the goal Second is a simple set of actions to follow that are preplanned. Third is a set of measures - so that you know you are making progress. Fourth is the time to work on the goal Here is how Stronglifts works. Goal - Get stronger (simple) Actions - Turn on the Stronglifts app and follow directions. (No thinking now) Measures - Tracked in the Stronglifts app, you can see your progress. Tracks one thing, weight lifted for each exercise.  Time - Go to gym every Monday/Wed/Friday at lunchtime     How to Get More - Here are how the steps work for you First, decide what you really want. I asked this last week in “I want more. Is that OK?” Think to the core. Many might say "I want more money." But think deeper - what does the money bring you? Freedom? Security? Independence? Ability to quit your day job? Get clear on what you really want. Because as we push to find out how to get more, we want to make sure we are really getting more of the right thing - the core issue.  But - do not spend too much time. Clarity tends to come with action - so make your best stab at it and then move on. You can revisit this later.  Second, create a set of SIMPLE actions you need to take. The obstacles can be a real help here. The key is to make these steps simple. This is especially true for the next three steps. For example, painting a room would involve 1) getting paint stick with colors, 2) getting a few samples, 3) painting them on the wall.  Simple - but moves you toward the goal.  Third, track the leading and lagging measures to know if you are succeeding—myFitnessPal is another good example of this. A leading measure is calories per day. A lagging measure is weight. But the key is the leading measure. Decide what they are, find a SIMPLE way to track them, and make them visual. You need to see simple progress.  Fourth, put time on your calendar to do the work.  Here are hints for success: Plan the steps before you do them. Once you start taking action, your focus should be to do the work.  At the end of your work time, capture anything to track. Like MyFitnesspal, capture what you ate at the end of the meal.  At the end of your work, decide the next steps. The key to success at anything is execution. Good planning can help, but the execution is key. You can execute a bad plan and still get results. But you cannot plan without execution and get anything but empty dreams.  Subscribe & Review in iTunes Are you subscribed to my Company of One?

Being bored at work seems normal. Studies indicate 43% of office workers are bored - many hoping to find a new job. So if you are bored, then note that you are normal. Now - does that make you feel any better? I thought not.  So what do you do? Quit and find another job? Some of you will take this path, only to quickly be bored again.  So instead of quitting and starting again at a new place, maybe there are creative ways to make boredom go away. Are You Bored at Work? (podcast outline) What to do when you are bored at work?  Want to stay in current job - just wish I was less bored Embrace it. You do not have to work too hard. Maybe that is OK.  Explore. Look around and become curious about what is going on. Get away from your desk (or normal job) and go learn about what others do.  Stop doing so much. Often we are bored when we are not using our gifts. A person who likes movement would prefer sweeping the floor or walking around taking inventory vs sitting at a desk. And some are the opposite. For me - I am NOT a details person. My eyes glaze over as I get into the details. So I have stopped doing many of them and now I focus on strategy. Tell your boss “I am bored at work - what else can I do. The boss SHOULD want to fix it since bored people eventually leave or totally disengage.   Quit doing so much. Maybe you are bored with busy work and do not have the time to THINK.  Really would like to leave - but (there is always a but) Set some goals. What do you really want? Where do you want to be? If money is holding you back - do the math. Vested retirement? So many years to retirement? I was told “15 more years of this crap and I am out.” Really? Just do the math and make a decision on the numbers and not the emotions Look outside. Often we are scared to even look. But look. Check out my podcast on Hidden Jobs. Look inward. Many companies have many options inside. Just because you work for Lockheed does not mean you are stuck.  Get creative. What can you do on your current job to give it life? Can you automate it? Can you take a course to do it better?  Closing   We all get bored from time to time - but staying bored is not a win for anyone. You will give up on things and become disgruntled at work, and at home. You will be that grumpy old man or woman.  But even bigger - think about the example you are setting to your kids or family. Do you want to have a legacy or being bored at work or someone who made things happen?  Shout Out Something for everyone Will Wins ★★★★★ I went through the graduate program under Dale and it totally changed my perspective/attitude on my career, goals, and life.

Who is living your dream? Do you know?  Or put another way, who do you want to grow up to be? Whether their occupation, their success, their ministry, their impact on the world - who is your role model for success?  John, a CIO at a multi-billion $ company told me “No one ever asks me how to be me. No one seems to want to be CIO.” His statement was odd because the same statement is written in the book Rich Dad Poor Dad - no one ever asks him how to be rich.   But the key to finding success is to answer three questions - and one of them is to find out who is living your dream.  Who is Living Your Dream (podcast outline) The Hard Truth: Many people do not have a role model. They are drifting. We need to find people who have walked the path we want to walk.  Who is Living your dream - how to find out. The three questions you need to answer: What do you love to do? How do you make money doing that? Who is living your dream? Today we focus on the last question - who is living your dream?  But to help you find the other answers, check out How to Find Your Calling.  Who is living your dream? Here are some examples of those who found it. David Goggins from Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds. Seeing the Navy Seal video. He even loved the idea of the pain.  Don't Die in Your Cube. Story of Brian Rabon. How to connect to the person who is living your dream. Boldly reach out. People love to talk about themselves - so this is going to be easier than you think. See How to Win Friends and Influence People. Email is my favorite way to start. LinkedIn is also a great path.

Write your 15 minute business plan and then get moving providing goods and services for other people.  After all, the only person who reads most business plans is the person who wrote it - the business owner.  But unlike all those people who spend months writing a plan, you need to develop your 15-minute business plan and then start with the execution phase. Here is all you need. 15 Minute Business Plan for Your Startup (podcast outline) The key elements of a business plan are simple and should be obvious if you are getting ready to start making money and serving customers.  Your 15-minute business plan should answer the following questions: What problem(s) are you trying to solve? Do not be cute or wordy, just state what the problem is in normal words. Best to use the words you have heard potential customers use. Example: Help busy moms with preteen kids lose weight. They are so busy with kids that taking care of themselves is hard. Who you will serve? It needs to be someone who has the problem and is aware that they have it. For example, an overweight person who does not feel overweight or feel motivated to change it will not want your products. Example: Busy moms with kids who are from 5-12 worried about their weight. What products or services will you offer to solve that problem? Do not over complicate it, but think about the most valuable thing you can offer. The book  The Lean Startup calls this the MVP (Minimally Viable Product). Do not overthink it. Be clear. Example: An iPhone app that will trigger mom to plan her day the night before. What clothes she needs out to workout then go on with her day. What foods she needs to prep. Then during the day, the app will remind her what to eat and what exercises to do.  The goal - where you want to be in the next 3 years. Then break down to 1 year and 3 months.  Remember goals should motivate you and make you think you can do it - just outside of your comfort zone.  Goals are not a wish list - they are things you really are willing to work to accomplish Avoid the delusional zone. ($1billion in sales in 3 years)  Think simple steps. Do not overthink it. Create Mainline Goals, Big Win, and Stretch Goals Mainline - The minimum you want to see and still feel like it was a win.  Big Win - You will feel awesome  Stretch - If all works right and grows as you planned and other good things happen - this is a stretch.  Who is your competition?  Name the people - not just companies? How can you get to know them and be friends with them?  What makes you different Business proposition: We do X for Y so that they can Z. Unlike other companies, we … Example: We provide IT services for small companies that do not have IT experts so that they can focus on running their business. Unlike other IT service companies such as Gee Squad, we provide fast service and turn arounds so your business keeps running.

Stupid lies about money are certainly prevalent. Like weight loss, everyone has advice about how to make money and grow wealth. The problem is  - most of that advice comes from people who do not have any money. Kinda like taking weight loss advice from a fat person.  OK - to be transparent I am not fat. Oh - you really do not care about that, do you.  Maybe you care more about this. I have zero debt (including real estate) and I am a multimillionaire with multiple streams of income and I generally love what I do. - even the parts when I am working with idiots. You can hear about that on Podcast 157: Finding Joy on the Job Even When You Work for an Idiot.  But I am certainly blessed. I do not claim to be wise in all things money - but I do constantly learn from others who know a lot - and little - about growing wealth. There are definitely many lies we believe.  Before we look at those lies, there are simple, but important truths about growing wealth that we overlook. Today let’s look at a few of those.  Quit Believing Stupid Lies about Money and Wealth (Podcast Outline) Truths about Money Money is tied to people (link to soft skills) Money comes from people.  Companies, governments, or individuals.  Every time money changes hands - it is a relationship Money changes hands in exchange for something. Listen to my What does it mean to be a Company of One Podcast.  Goods - you buy something or someone buys from you Service - you are paid to do something. Your job, clean the house, coach someone in a sport, take photos, etc Winning with money is about paying yourself first. Read this great book: The Richest Man in Babylon. You tend to behave (with money) like those you hang around - hear more in Podcast 095, Who You Spend Time With Is Who You Become.  The Bible teaches a lot about money and wealth. A great in-depth look at this truth in Podcast 132: How Being a Christian Has Made Me Wealthy.  Lies About Money I do not want to be rich, because rich people are greedy.  Time is money. I can get passive income and do nothing. Listen in on Podcast 041: Passive Income From Information Products the Lies and The Truth.  College is a way to wealth. You really want to read  Rich Dad Poor Dad.  Mindset is Key to Being Broke or Being Rich From Rich Dad Poor Dad Poor dad: “I’ll never be rich.” Rich dad: “There is a difference between being poor and being broke. Broke is temporary and poor is eternal.” The story of Bob has enough and lives rich while living on little. The story of Rick (business owner) does not ever have enough.

Leadership void is the norm.  Some voids are caused by poor leaders who provide little vision or direction.  Others are caused by transitions in roles (esp for your leaders) and the inability for overall leadership to define issues and set a strategy.  Either way - as John Maxwell puts it - Everything rises and falls on leadership.  Unfortunately - even if you are a leader - you are often impacted by the leadership above you and you get stuck waiting for their direction - and in the meantime, you fail to provide direction to those who report to you. You, therefore, become a bad leader. (I have been here a number of times myself)  So no matter your role or the reason - leadership void is the norm - not the exception. Here are some things to do.   How to Lead at Work When There is a Leadership Void (Podcast Outline) The Bold Approach Engage the leader. Ask them what is going on. Politely let them know you see a void and things are not working.            You might find  That something big is going on - such as a merger or acquisition or internal flopping about. If this is the case - ask for guidance about how you can help.  The leader is clueless and thinks they are doing a good job. In this case - tread lightly. Ask for how you can help them and make suggestions. (Personally I tend to be more blunt - but a risky move to make since the leader - albeit ineffective - still has power) The leader is leading - but not communicating. (We can argue if they are truly leading but for now - what can you do?) In this case, let them know how people feel. Ask them to be bolder in communicating facts and vision. Volunteer to help set up town hall-style meetings or other forms of communication to get the word out. In leadership what is not said is often more powerful than what is said. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffstibel/2017/09/07/the-leadership-void-its-not-what-you-say-its-what-the-brain-fills-in/#6985a1963f10 The leader knows he or she is ineffective and working on a solution. In a few instances, I have found this leader willing to talk to me, ask my input, and even ask for help leading. But be careful getting too close or assuming you are on the winning path - this leader is often on his or her way out - even if they do not know it yet. You likely cannot save them. 2.  Fill the void. If you do not, someone else will. So it might as well be you. I know you cannot declare yourself leader, but you can get organized and take control in your own areas. The best approach to take here is to identify the major players on the team and talk to them one-on-one about plans. Do not talk about the leadership void - instead, talk about your role as a team. Shoot for pulling the major players together to come up with a plan. Avoid the gossip about the leadership void by taking the high road - “the leader is busy and it is our job to do this - not his/hers.” The key is to not lead with power - but lead with influence - asking the help of others and working as a team. Truth is - most people do not want to lead and will be happy you have stepped up to help. Maybe even the boss will like it and join your team.    Click here to listen now.  Subscribe & Review in iTunes Are you subscribed to my Company of One?

What are the first 5 steps to starting your own business or side hustle? You could do what most people do when they start a business. Write a business plan. Yes, get bogged down in the nasty details that really will not matter nor be read by anyone. Go find funding — usually a loan. Avoid these stupid steps for almost everyone. Here is what to do instead.   The First 5 Steps to Starting Your Own Business or Side Hustle (Podcast Outline) 1. Find a problem to solve. Make sure the problem is for real people. Helping people take care of their lawns. Pressure washing their drives. Reducing accidents in manufacturing plants by doing periodic safety assessments. Assisting online marketers to be more productive by being their virtual assistant. Avoid things that are not real problems people have. Saving the environment. 2. Who is the customer who will pay? A business or an individual. If you cannot figure this out - move on. Sometimes these poorly defined ideas leave you looking for who your customer is. Services that help teachers teach in public schools -who buys. Teacher or school? Medical service to help patients - who pays? Doctor in office or each patient? 3. Create an offering and make it simple. Example of a tree service company. Cut down - $500 Cut down and Haul Off - $800 Cut down, haul off, grind the stump - $1000 4. Find an inexpensive way to get your offering in front of your customers. Not cheap - inexpensive. Experiment with things quickly. 5. Offer your services repeatedly. Repeat what works, stop what does not. Decide how many times you need to repeat your offer. (Daily, weekly, monthly) When you think you are repeating too much - do more. It can take 15 or more times before they pay attention to you.   Click here to listen now. Shout Out What are you waiting for?

Do you really need a college degree to become an engineer? This subject is an often debated topic - especially in the hallowed halls of higher education. Many of my peers hotly disagree with me on this subject.  They think I am committing blasphemy to bring up the idea that we may not be adding as much value as we (or any other institution) think we are adding.  Can you become something without the degree? Even something like an engineer, where the expectation is a college degree? Let’s examine the facts. Can You Become an Engineer - or anything else - without a Degree (Podcast Outline) Education is important - but... Universities do not own the knowledge - we are one path Universities and society THINK they are the only way Universities do two critical things to add value Accountability Credentialing Universities do not ALWAYS do these things Quality education Relevant education So what will disruptive innovation look like in higher ed?  The Dim Future of Higher Education  See link http://www.dalecallahan.com/the-dim-future-of-higher-education/ Scenarios Hiring engineer with $50k in debt who did in 4 years Hiring an engineer with zero debt and did in 2 years using tools like Udemy, EdX, etc  How you can do this?

“Where do you see yourself in five years?” is one of the most frequently asked questions in an interview. Yet, I often wonder if your answer matters much. After all, many interviewers are just following a script. But forget the interview and think about it for yourself. Where Do You See Yourself in Five Years? If you do not know - think about it. Why is this important to what you do today? Lea and I have been struggling with this question lately because there is a part of us that thinks we can just coast. Why do we have to work at anything? We are done. But recently we have been convicted of how wrong this thinking is.  Where Do You See Yourself in Five Years? (Show Notes) You need a direction Having a goal creates energy and enthusiasm. Without a goal, you get lazy and depressed. Story of those who have sold out to retire.  Today’s decisions impact tomorrow's outcome Consider these paths: Want to be in a new job? Want to be in a new city? Want to be earning more money?

Develop confidence. That is the challenge.  The desire to develop more confidence and composure under pressure is a common theme we see in our professional graduate students. Even those who seem like they are highly confident will confess one-on-one that they are lacking.  A quick look will show that everyone lacks confidence at some level. And all want to develop confidence to a higher level. Yes, even those hard-driving people who look and sound like they eat confidence for breakfast. We are all insecure.  So how can you and I become more confident? It is not as hard as we might think. How to Develop Confidence and Composure (Podcast outline) First, recognize that you are not alone Everyone lacks confidence Imposter Syndrome Bill Smith story Control your inner talk Capture your thoughts Use Third Person (refer to Late Bloomers) Take back control in the moment Smile - relaxing for you and others Breathe -  In these intense moments, we tend to hold our breath Deep and slow breathes Slow down your talking Lower your voice and your tone Find others insecurity  When someone is yelling,  think “What is gnawing at them?” Often the real issue is not what they are yelling about.   When someone is bragging about all they have done and you feel like you have little to show, look deep into their eyes. They are trying to sell you something.

Where you go to school matters - right?  With all the attention to college acceptance bribery cases involving actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, we might think that it really matters where you go to school. After all, why would they pay a ton of money if not?  But when we peel back the layers of the truth and the norms, we see that most of us fight to get our kids into top schools and rarely does it happen.  So with all the energy and activity around it - does it even matter? Does it matter where you go to school?

Engineering Management (EM) vs MBA? That is a question I have talked about a lot in the last few years.  I have both a masters in engineering and an MBA. And since joining the university, I have been running an engineering management program (Information Engineering and Management or IEM). So I have seen them all up close and personal.  I have the conversation almost daily with engineers and technology leaders who are looking to grow through higher education and considering both the MBA and the Engineering Management paths.    Should I Get a Masters in Engineering Management or MBA (Podcast Outline) Things to consider before making the decision The company I work for or want to work for - culture Knowing where you want to go Define your goal Management strictly and get out of technology Move into technical management MBA Programs - Not all the same Course work similar but varieties Economics. Accounting. Entrepreneurship. Marketing. Strategy. Project Management. Organizational development. Connections to industry highly variable Some pure academic Some talk about the industry with little true connections Some highly connected Engineering Management Program - Not all the same Course work variations Statistics Systems engineering Project Management. Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Leadership and strategy. Communications. Technical paths. Connections to industry Often less than in the MBA. Look behind the scenes and ask questions. How to evaluate What is your goal?  Move into technology leadership. Pure academic vs applied. Just get a degree. Look at faculty What industry backgrounds do they have? Have they ever practiced what they teach? Is experience required If you want to grow your network - go for programs that require experience Many programs geared to recent graduates What are the income projections?  Other Considerations Does the EM talk more your language Does this EM help you move from tech doer to tech leader About IEM Real-world Real faculty Client-focused vs curriculum-focused Coaching The $30k challenge  Click here to listen now.

Ever heard of hidden engineering jobs? Estimates indicate that over 80% of jobs filled each year are hidden jobs. What is a hidden job?  Many will define hidden jobs as jobs that never get formally posted to job boards. But it goes further than that since many jobs posted on sites like Indeed are not real. They have already been filled before they were posted. They were hidden, and once the company found the person they needed, they formally posted to meet various guidelines and regulations. But, even though the opportunity had been posted, it was already filled. So the trick to finding new opportunities in engineering and technology is to find those hidden jobs before they are filled. Hidden Engineering Jobs - How to Find Jobs that Have Not Been Advertised (Podcast Outline) The mindset of hidden jobs - creating or finding a need Have you ever made a big purchase when you were not really looking?  For a big-screen TV A car A home A vacation Jobs are the same process - advertising works Why are there jobs hidden Some jobs are not advertised YET. Some jobs are silent searches. Some jobs are not advertised because the company has not defined the position enough to write the ad.  Many jobs are not even defined yet - the need is there but not apparent to the leaders about what they need or who (THESE ARE THE BEST HIDDEN JOBS). Define where you want to go Have a direction. There are too many to chase without focus. Think about your calling - what lights you up. Go after what is fun for you.  Find the people doing the fun stuff and reach out to them for a reverse interview How to find them. How to reach out to them and what to say.  What to say when you meet with them The three core questions to ask. The one million $ question to ask. How to end the meeting  End on time - with them wanting to talk more. Do not leave a resume. Get an open invitation to contact them again. Thank them and leave. Evaluate the meeting Are they a top 40 pick? Do you like what you heard? What was their pain? Can you fix it?  Define the opportunity as you see it. Put it into words. Does this person have the power and budget to hire? If not, can they get you to that person?  How to follow-up Send a thank you immediately. Connect on LinkedIn with a personalized message. Set a 15, 30, 45, or 90 day follow-up time (Contactually/Excel/SalesForce). Create a process Repeat steps above to add new contacts and opportunities. Set a time to do follow-ups and DO THEM.  Keep defining opportunities.

Finding hidden jobs is like finding a rare coin in your spare change - easy to go unnoticed but fun when you find it. And sometimes, valuable. Clients and students often tell me how there are so few jobs available. But when others look, they see jobs everywhere. In today's podcast, I am going to give you some examples of how to see jobs everywhere you look. Finding Hidden Jobs Everywhere You Look (Podcast Outline) Your expertise and connections lead out to certain places Friends invite you to their company  You are in a new city driving around you see company names you have never heard of. You are in your city, and you find something you have never heard of! As you see what others are doing, you see other opportunities Who supplies their core technology?  Who buys from them?  What kind of challenges are they having?  Example - EITD NASA Operation led me to know about and an obscure company that makes cryogenic cooling elements for satellites -- https://www.sunpowerinc.com/ To help you unlock these hidden opportunities Check-in with your friends. Ask them what they do. What kind of problems do they have?  Be curious - ask about their supplies and customers.  Be active in professional associations Speakers coming in with varied backgrounds Tours of places you have not seen When you travel Go to your professional association meetings in other towns.  Look at the industry makeup. Who are these people? Get on LinkedIn and see who you know.  Do a LinkedIn search before you go to another city to find out who you know there. Great time to connect.  Be local There is more going on than you think there is. Jim Little of New Capital Partners (Private Equity Firm) told me that he is constantly finding new companies doing great stuff that he never knew about - right under his nose. And his job is to know about possible investments.  Do tours - See what friends and associates are doing by looking at their operations. They may not be technical at all - but could lead to an opportunity.  Talk to others - Ask questions of people in your industry and in your professional organizations about what they do and their challenges Give them a shout out- When you learn about something new - post about it and the people on social media - LINKEDIN mostly Seek out customers of your product.  The job finder guide “What Color is Your Parachute?” tells the story of a guy looking for a printing job. Instead of going to the printers, he went to major offices and asked who did their printing. Learned the good and the bad He got to know the customers. Many were happy to talk to him and offered to give him connections.    Click here to listen now.

Do you need a 6-week plan to start a side hustle? I know I did. When I start projects, I like to have some idea of where I am going. But in business startups, I have found I am often running blind. When I meet with clients who are in the startup phase, I find they are often confused about what to do next. The advice they listen to (assuming they are listening to any) is often poorly thought out and keeps them busy with things that are not important. So here is a simple 6-week plan for starting a side hustle you can do even if you are starting by working only at lunchtime or the few hours you can steal away to do your work. Your 6-Week Plan To Starting A Side Hustle (Podcast outline) Week #1 - Define Your Idea What will you do?  Who will you serve?  How will you get paid?  Use plain English - do not need a fancy slogan - this is just for you.  Week #2 - Test and Get Feedback Test your ideas. Especially if you have more than one.  Do not get bogged down in details UNLESS high risk or wealth (See 139: How to Decide if My Startup Should be an LLC or S-Corp) If you need an LLC or some other structure then try to get one that would cover any of your ideas. (LLC of Callahan Enterprises instead of Callahan Lawn Care) Define some easy customers Start with a simple offering Do the work Get paid Get feedback from your customers Ask what they think What would they like LISTEN / LISTEN / LISTEN Week #3 - Evaluate and Adjust Evaluate After a few weeks or a few jobs/deliveries How do you feel? Still excited? Did anything happen that made you squirm?  Make a decision to stay, pivot, or stop.  Make adjustments Adjust your offerings to be more in line with what customers want.  Adjust any processes such as how you get jobs.  Put on your calendar to repeat evaluate and adjust periodically. (A repeat of week #3) Week #4 - Market / Market / Market Get a clear view of your ideal customer Who are they Where are they How do you get in front of them Create offerings with the ideal customer in mind Market Deliver Serve Week #5 - Create a Cash Plan Decide what to do with the cash Most just pocket the cash and spend Instead, you need to have a plan. See Ep 118 How Much Should I Pay Myself? Create proper bank accounts Week #6 - Create simple Processes Create simple and repeatable processes for Doing marketing Taking orders and delivering the product/service Doing the books (monthly) Handling the cash Document processes as you go with an eye toward growth Use simple tools like Asana Click here to listen now.

In this episode, we chat with NetApp's Jennifer Kaufman, as she talks information engineering--more than just content and documentation, background at NetApp, her experience as a woman in technology and the sport of kettlebell. Special Guest: Jennifer Kaufman.

Where do you find the time and the money to start a side business? You never have enough of either - right? But do a reality check. Others have. Other people have been more broke and had less time and found a way. And ... they are not any smarter than you. But yet, we struggle. Families. Jobs. Friends. And even just fatigue saps us of time. So today I will unpack several common practices that others have used to find the time and money to start a side business. We will start by dealing with the money issue (wow do I hear this one a lot - no money to start). Then we will get into the time issue, how can you do a time audit and carve out minutes to make it happen. But most important - I will provide you several common mistakes I see others making in the area of time and money. Avoid at all cost. How to Find the Time and Money to Start a Side Business (Outline of the podcast) Reality check  Many have started with no money Many started with full-time jobs and made it happen  Dealing with the money issue Start small Use what you already have Cell phones Computers Tools Your mind and creativity Focus on serving the customers need - not your expectations Example - Homeschool products example Do not overthink it Supplement with renting or bartering Landscaping example without equipment Bartering for services (Angie) Avoid the traps Do not borrow $ Do not lease (another form of borrowing) Do not over-promise (Promise what you know you can deliver) The reality - most US companies start with almost nothing.  $2000-$5000 Startup $ does not determine growth (ADC vs AmericanIP) Dealing with the time issue Many do this - with kids, jobs, and life Flipped Lifestyle - Shane & Jocelyn Sams story Audit your time  (like my fitness pal) See where you are wasting time (Daniel Story and link to his page and book) Make decisions about priorities Carve out as much as you can. Think 60-minute windows each day Put on calendar Make an appointment with yourself Focus on what you need to start Day 1 - Define your services (write it down) Day 2 - Where will you find your customers Day 3 - Start advertising Day 4  - Keep advertising Day 5 - Serve, adjust, and advertise Day 6 to 1,000 - repeat day 5 Avoid the traps Focusing on the non-essentials Logos Business cards Office supplies Websites Creating too many systems and overthinking at first LLC Bookkeeping Insurance Failure to create systems and think about growth once you have started.  Upcoming Episode 139 next week – Should I use an LLC or S-Corp in my startup idea?

How can you use the reverse interview to stand out in your current company?  In this podcast, I will should you just how to do that! Here is my outline of how to use the reverse interview on your current job What is a reverse interview? Check out my previous episodes for details on the process. A quick summary would be that the reverse interview is used to help you connect to people by asking specific questions to get them to talk. Usually, this is used to find a job or start a company. The questions are: How did you get to where you are?  What do you love or hate about this job?  What keeps you awake at night?  Why use the reverse interview with your current company? To help you do a better job. To learn how different departments and teams work. To seek to understand. Personal reasons. To find new opportunities. To get noticed and promoted. How to do the reverse interview on the job. Be targeted and intentional. Start by defining what you want to learn.  What goes on in another group? How to grow into leadership? How to improve processes on your side as you interface with another group? Check out other lines of revenue in your company to learn best practices (Schools at a university, different product lines, different locations). Reach out to meet one-on-one to discuss problem X or opportunity Y or to learn how they do Z.  Be general and open. Go to meetings. Go to some of those boring and pointless meetings to learn who the people are and what they do.  Connect with those who you work within other departments to “understand better”. Be growth-minded. Who is in the position you want to be in. Be careful. Get the blessing of your boss before doing this. Connect with higherups OUTSIDE of the company. Professional organizations.  Specific Talking Points from the Podcast >> [01:15] What is a reverse interview?

What I want to hear you say in an interview is how you will help me win. It is as simple as that. But while most of us understand this simple message, we think we have to talk about ourselves - accomplishments, strengths, all that stuff. STOP! Remember that you are a Company of One. You are looking for a new customer. So in a job interview, you are trying to sell a POTENTIAL customer. Customers do not care about you, your plans, or your goals except in how they help them achieve their goals. So, what you say in an interview should be you talking about yourself but making it sound like you are talking about me. What does this look like  #1 - Tell me how you fit into the company culture.  How do you show this? Ask me questions about my culture Show that you have met and know some of my team. #2 - Care about what I need and value Demonstrate by Asking me directly how a person in the position you are applying for wins What is your measure of success What I do NOT want to hear Complaints about past employers or coworkers. Instead, talk about why you left in terms of you. Do not tell me how to run my business. The key message here - show me how you add value to me and my team. Here are a few highpoints from the podcast: >> [01:32] We are always being interviewed. Every time you have a discussion with a business owner or someone who has the power to hire, an interview is going on. >> [05:30] I want to know how you fit my culture. This is how you do that. >> [08:44] Demonstrate to me that you already know my team. >> [13:42] The questions you ask me tell me a lot about you. >> [19:21] This is how you demonstrate expertise without insulting me.

Looking for a job after 50? How many of these thoughts are going through your head? I will have to start over! I am so specialized in my area of expertise that I can never find another job that needs my skills. I am going to have to go back to school to learn new skills. No one will hire me now that I am over 50. I am competing against people of a very young age who will work for less.   You might be coming out of the military. You might be coming out of a long career where you have developed deep technical expertise. But you do not have to just give in. You have more to offer than you think. You Have More to Offer Too often we undersell ourselves. Do not do it.

Do not give in to the messages in your head. >> [10:50] Experience is huge. There is a wide and frustrating experience gap in the industry. Even older experience that seemed outdated (COBOL, Mainframes) can be reused. >> [20:26] Work a plan.

Being a Christian and being wealthy can seem like an oxymoron. I confess I have struggled with money and faith. As a Christian should I give it all away and go live a life like Mother Teresa? Or as a Christian, how do I recognize my gift of serving others through education and business? Could it be that the Bible is the best business book ever written? Today, I will share a bit of my story of how becoming a Christian helped me to grow wealth like never before. >> [02:41] I have always been focused on success thinking. Whether I am teaching future engineers, working with professionals, or helping others start companies, I am always focused on ways to help them become successful. >> [05:44] Our culture connects wealth with evil. These messages are powerful in music, movies, the news, social media, and even in schools. So Christian wealth seems an oxymoron. >> [13:05] I started to become service-oriented and think a lot about how I treated and served my customer (and my boss). >> [19:08] I begin to see my gifts. What I thought I was good at was wrong and the source of a lot of my struggle. I found my gift and served better knowing it. >> [23:01] The work I did was becoming more valuable because I was using my gifts and not being timid and hiding them. I paid attention to the needs of others, saw a place I could serve, and served.   Click here to listen now. Subscribe & Review in iTunes Are you subscribed to my Company of One?

Overwhelmed at work? You have to learn to eliminate, delegate, and automate. I know what you are thinking... Eliminate? What can I stop doing? It all has to be done. Delegate? To who? Automate? I do not have time (or the skill) to do that. Really. Then why do some people, who are busy like you, seem to get more done? Come on - you know some of them just like I do. The number one issue professionals talk about is being overwhelmed. Too much to do, to little time, and new stuff coming every minute. What a hassle. Today we will look at a simple process for getting clarity and then getting busy fixing what is broke by eliminating, delegating, and automating some (or all) of our work. No need to be a victim - Take control and fix it. >> [01:56] Overwhelm is not a fix it once and done problem. Like cleaning out the closet, you have to continually revisit. >> [03:53] Meetings. We can't just stop doing them, we just need to eliminate some and make the others more effective. And more effective does not always mean shorter. >> [06:46] Do an assessment called Delegate and Elevate. Takes a few minutes, but well worth the time. >> [11:23] Often we are doing work that our internal customers do not value or even know we are doing. >> [18:42] A coworker of mine had a knack for leaving the office with nothing done and coming back the next day with a great presentation ready. He was using creative outsourcing. >> [22:16] Automation is easy, often requires no skill, and even free much of the time. Try one of my automation tools that keeps me from being overwhelmed at work - set a meeting with me.  Click here to listen now. Subscribe & Review in iTunes Are you subscribed to my Company of One?

We have all heard it. You might have even said it “The harder I work, the less I make.” If you feel that way, you are doing it wrong. Back in episode 129, we explored the idea of being a Company of One. That means you, yes you, are an entrepreneur right now. And what reasonable business owner would settle for working harder and making less money. Today we will explore some simple and practical (yes doable) ideas to help you increase your income. While on the same job! No need to quit. No need to take a side gig. Instead, let's look at your number one incomes source - your job - and find untapped potential to make more money.   >> [02:19] The $30,000 challenge. In our online graduate program (UAB IEM), we push people to grow their income by $30,000n while they are in the program. >> [02:46] EXCUSES: I already work so many hours a day. I don't have time to take a side job. I work for the government. I work for a big company and we don't operate like that. I am at the top of my pay range. All that's a bunch of bull because all that doesn't matter. >> [6:28] Your customers - anybody who takes out money from their pocket to pay you. These are your customers. >> [9:03] What do your customers need from you? What's missing? >> [17:17] Example 1 - Repackaging data for better communication. >> [20:06] Example 2 - Expand your role with what you know well. >> [21:13] Example 3 - A skill you have learned how to do that your team might need. In other words, add a new service. Click here to listen now. Subscribe & Review in iTunes Are you subscribed to my Company of One?

How do you become a company of one? What does it mean ot be a company of one? It seems everyone wants to be an entrepreneur. We want to get control of our time and income. We want to have the ability to serve more and grow. But I want to help you see a new perspective. You already have more control of your time and income than you think. Whether you are an employee or an entrepreneur (or unemployed looking for a job), you have a lot more control than you think. Your job is to take control. Here, I will start showing you how to take control and earn more money - getting control of your time and your income - just like I have done for hundreds of clients. >> [03:01] What is the difference between an entrepreneur and an employee (not as much as you think.) >> [06:03] The four roles of your company of one. >> [12:04] The exchange of goods and services for money is what we call doing business. It's as simple as that. >> [14:57] You do have ownership and control. You are a company of one. >> [20:23] You are an entrepreneur - so start acting like one. The number one thing that you need to think about as an entrepreneur is, "Who am I serving today?" and "Who is my customer?" >> [23:30] Own it. Take responsibility for your own Company of One. You are the company. You are the brand. Own it.   Click here to listen now. Subscribe & Review in iTunes Are you subscribed to my Company of One?

Two current approaches to autonomous driving are as follows: the “Google Car Paradigm” involves ensuring that each vehicle can sense and perceive the world, and then act accordingly, while the “V2X Paradigm” involves vehicles that communicate with one another, as well as the infrastructure, to act in a coordinated way. The latter approach promises improved safety, mobility, and environmental sustainability, although to date these claims have limited verification. Professor Cody Fleming will explore several challenges and opportunities in so-called Intelligent Transportation Systems, exploring examples in both ground and air transportation.

Look out of the window and you won't see many robots – but the AI revolution is here. The relentless encroachment of machine-thinking into every aspect of our lives is transforming the way we think and act. Machine-learning algorithms drive our smartphones and social media - and they are increasingly present in our homes, offices, schools and hospitals. Whether driving cars, diagnosing disease or marking essays, artificial intelligence is everywhere. But how does machine-thinking compare to human thought and what are the limitations of AI? From biased training data to impenetrable black-box algorithms, Quentin Cooper and guests explore the strengths and limitations of AI. To discuss whether we need AI are - Zoubin Ghahramani, professor of Information Engineering at the University of Cambridge and deputy director of the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence; Lydia Nicholas, senior researcher at the British innovation foundation Nesta; Professor Kentaro Toyama of the University of Michigan, co-founder of Microsoft Research India and author of Geek Heresy: Rescuing Social Change from the Cult of Technology.

In episode seven of Talking Machines we talk with Zoubin Ghahramani, professor of Information Engineering in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. His project, The Automatic Statistician, aims to use machine learning to take raw data and give you statistical reports and natural languages summaries of what trends that data shows. We get really hungry exploring Bayesian Non-parametrics through the stories of the Chinese Restaurant Process and the Indian Buffet Process (but remember, there’s no free lunch). Plus we take a listener question about how much we should rely on ourselves and our ideas about what intelligence in electrified meat looks like when we try to build machine intelligences.

As more and more Internet-based attacks arise, organizations are respondingby deploying an assortment of security products that generate situationalintelligence in the form of logs. These logs often contain high volumes ofinteresting and useful information about activities in the network, and areamong the first data sources that information security specialists consultwhen they suspect that an attack has taken place. However, security productsoften come from a patchwork of vendors, and are inconsistently installed andadministered. They generate logs whose formats differ widely and that areoften incomplete, mutually contradictory, and very large in volume. Hence,although this collected information is useful, it is often dirty.We present a novel system, Beehive, that attacks the problem ofautomatically mining and extracting knowledge from the dirty log dataproduced by a wide variety of security products in a large enterprise. Weimprove on signature-based approaches to detecting security incidents andinstead identify suspicious host behaviors that Beehive reports as potentialsecurity incidents. These incidents can then be further analyzed by incidentresponse teams to determine whether a policy violation or attack hasoccurred. We have evaluated Beehive on the log data collected in a largeenterprise, EMC, over a period of two weeks. We compare the incidentsidentified by Beehive against enterprise Security Operations Centerreports, antivirus software alerts, and feedback from enterprise securityspecialists. We show that Beehive is able to identify malicious events andpolicy violations which would otherwise go undetected. About the speaker: Ting-Fang Yen is a research scientist at RSA Laboratories, the security division of EMC. Ting-Fang's research interests include network security and data analysis for security applications. Ting-Fang received a B.S. degree in Computer Science and Information Engineering from National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.
