(Click here for a machine generated transcript) Leslie Hadley went from corporate executive to Yoga  teacher to stroke survivor and back to yoga teacher. Along the way, she became an author, life coach, and tapping teacher (not the dance -- the emotional freedom technique).  She shares her story this week, and I share a bunch of my own updates. You can find Leslie's book on Amazon at http://strokecast.com/book/AwakenFromIllness (affiliate link) Bio From Leslie's website: How long have you been doing what you do, and how did you become a Transformational Teacher? To answer this question, it’s probably best that I share with you a defining moment, and resulting compelling story. I was a single mom, divorced from an abusive relationship, in management, working in a high paying corporate job with people from all over the world. I was beyond shocked when one day they laid me off with two weeks’ notice. They didn’t pack my stuff so the 2 weeks gave me creating time! I was teaching yoga part-time during all of this, and my daughter was a freshman in high school.  I was transferred all over the country, but this time, I promised her I wouldn’t relocate again. Initially, I was in planning mode. Once the adrenaline from that wore off, I felt rejected, afraid and overwhelmed. All I could think about was, “What’s next” “How am I going to pay my bills?” My self-esteem suffered. I am a survivor, so I pulled up my lady bootstraps and got to work. In hindsight, I realized getting laid off from my corporate job was a gift. I liked the income, so I never would have left on my own. I know in my heart if I stayed in corporate I would have never lived out my passion and purpose; but just as important, I have learned about me. I was working 70 hours a week. On weekends, my daughter would come with me to the office. She learned to fax at 5 years old! My daughter once told me she never wanted to do what I did - work 70 hours a week and sell my soul. To this day, she has not and has instead chosen to work with kids as a librarian. I taught her to follow her dream and live her passion. Sometimes what seems tragic at the time is just the wake-up call we need. I made a commitment to myself, as I did when I started my yoga practice 20 years ago. My commitment was to heal myself from numbness in my legs. Yoga helped me heal, and I was determined! I will turn my yoga passion and teacher training into teaching classes. I made a list of how I was going to do it. In a short amount of time I was teaching 35 classes a week! I was also practicing Thai yoga massage and became a Reiki Master. In spite all of my hard work, I wasn’t making enough money teaching. I wrote in my journal that I would pay my bills and more. I manifested much more money, sharing my gift and helping people. I was actually living my passion and sharing peace and joy. Five years after I started teaching Yoga, I felt in my heart that there a missing piece in my life. I was passionate about what I was doing, but I felt I could still do more to serve women. I decided to enroll in a nutrition and coaching program. I loved all aspects of the program but coaching really spoke to me. After graduation, I enrolled in a transformational coaching program - Level 1, then Master. Yes, once again, my life changed, and I found that I loved experiencing the transformation in myself and witnessing struggling women transform themselves. The freedom to be you, empowered but easy! Today, I live in compassion land. The shocking experience of going through divorce, raising my daughter at a very young age, being laid off from my high paying corporate job, healing physically and emotionally brought me to where I am today – coaching people like you on exactly what to do to gain self-esteem, have more love, trust and caring in your lives, so you can gain more happiness, healthy lifestyle and have hope for the future, called empowerment! amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "currentlybill-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links"; amzn_assoc_asins = "B087SJRB8Q"; amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "b9260f7986dcf731554f4d6f1c5c2b44"; Feldenkrais Fedenkrais is a form of therapy that's been around for several decades.

Panel with Alanis, Peter Levine, Gabor Maté, Richard Schwartz and Dan Siegel. WHAT IS Trauma? Alanis - keeps us from living from our essential selves Richard - impact, not event, vulnerable parts get hurt and locked away Peter - when we can't return to our previous state, breech in our protective barrier Gabor - physical manifestations Dan - sustained attacks on the capacity to integrate unsolved trauma leads to impaired integration chaos and rigidity in the body, in relationships epistemic trust breaks down WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE BODY? "The truth about our childhood is stored up in our body, and although we can repress it, we can never alter it. Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings manipulated, and conceptions confused, and our body tricked with medication. But someday our body will present its bill, for it is as incorruptible as a child, who, still whole in spirit, will accept no compromises or excuses, and it will not stop tormenting us until we stop evading the truth.” ― Alice Miller Somatic Experiencing: When people are willing to learn from the body, they can use this to prevent further outbreaks HOW DO YOU HEAL TRAUMA? Alanis - therapy, movement, empathetic listener, creation, Richard - honoring protective parts, listening to them, parts frozen in time, dealing withe abuser for the child and taking the child to a comfortable place Gabor - healing is integration. Healing is wholeness. healing is softening that compassion can bring Dan - path to healing is integrative GROUNDED SPIRITUALITY - JEFF BROWN - primary cause of our anxiety is not our thoughts, not the monkey mind; that's just the symptom - shifting out of unhappiness is not a cerebral process.

In today's discussion we'll learn how Lenovo is strengthening the supply chain to further protect its customers by introducing smarter end-to-end security through new services.   Tom Garrison: Hello, and welcome to the Cyber Security Inside podcast. In this podcast, we aim to dig into important aspects of cyber security, which can often be highly complex and intimidating and break them down to make them more understandable. We aim to avoid jargon and instead use plain language for thought provoking discussions. Every two weeks, a new podcast will air. We invite you to reach out to us with your questions and ideas for future podcast topics. I'd like to introduce my cohost, Camille Morhardt Technical Assistant, and Chief of Staff at Intel's Product Assurance and Security Division. She's a co-director of Intel's Compute Lifecycle Assurance, an industry initiative to increase supply chain transparency. Camille's conducted hundreds of interviews with leaders in technology and engineering, including many in the C suite of the Fortune 500.   Tom Garrison: Hi, Camille. How are you doing today?   Camille Morhardt: Surf's up! I'm doing well, Tom.   Tom Garrison: (laughs) Nice. That's right. You're at the beach. The benefits of being able to record anywhere in the world. Camille what's on your mind today for today's Security Matters segment?   Camille Morhardt: Well, Tom, I've been thinking about trust. And I've decided that trust is something that you can't actually offer. It's only something that can be bestowed upon you. So given that, what elements go into trust? Is that the same when we're talking about a company or we're talking about a relationship? And you know, what kind of actions could a company or government, say, take to increase your chances of trusting them since it's something you can only bestow upon them?   Tom Garrison: Interesting. So trust, I guess you can decide to inherently trust somebody, but ultimately it's something that you either are adding to the trust or you're taking away from the trust based on your actions.   Camille Morhardt: Yeah. And you don't get to decide whether somebody trusts you or not. You can only offer, I would submit actions, some sort of an action, like being upfront about your intentions or your mistakes potentially would increase trust, say in a romantic relationship. Now, how does that translate when you're talking about the government? Do I trust the government or a company? How do I know whether I trust a company?   Tom Garrison: Yeah, that's a, it's a good topic. So let's say let's stick with companies. So how do companies increase trust?   Camille Morhardt: Well, I think one of the main ways the company can increase trust is to tell you honestly what they're doing. And I think that one way to do that when proxy, I would say almost for trust, is transparency. A bit of a buzzword these days, but that gives you visibility, not just visibility, but actually a complete view into what's happening. Transparency, everything from the, your intentions, which I think in most public companies are maximizing profit. There may be additional intentions or motives. And then after that, how are you going about producing your product?   Tom Garrison: You know, it occurs to me that there's a lot about products in general, that we don't know really much at all. We know who we bought it from. We hopefully we trust that company that they're doing the right things, but there's a lot of yeah of information that could be made available to the customer, the end customer about the devices that they're buying today.   Camille Morhardt: Yeah, is it my business? Do I just get to put trust into a company? Um, and that's good enough. I believe the company, they have a big name. They've got a good brand, you know, do I really, do I have some sort of a right to know more than that? I can buy from whoever I want.   Tom Garrison: Yeah, I think, I think you do. I mean, you know, maybe there's a debate to be had here, but I, I think as the customer, you have the right to any information that is going to have an impact on you the customer moving forward. And that might be things like, you know, maybe a more detailed understanding of what goes into the products that you're buying. And, based on that knowledge, you, you have a better understanding of what risks are involved from a security standpoint. I think you have rights to any information that has to do with the way you're using the product. I don't think you necessarily have rights to the vendor, whoever you chose to buy it from. They've aggregated all the data about all of their customers. I don't think you as a customer have rights to that, but I do think that if you bought 10,000 of something, you have the rights to the aggregated 10,000 that you own.   Camille Morhardt: So do I have a right to know exactly what's in those devices that I own. I mean, if there's sub-vendors that are traded out, uh, we have, now we're using it as a screw from a different company now. Do I need to be burdened with that information?   Tom Garrison: Well, first I think there's a question of how much value do you get from what screw they use. But if you were to say instead, maybe the line is intelligent devices, things that are running software within maybe your PC or within your server, within your IOT device, for a couple of different reasons. Let me just share sort of my view. If there ever turns out to be a security problem down the road with one of those devices, then you want to be able to know about it right away as soon as possible. And so if you already know what are these subcomponents in your device, then you should be able to aggregate your entire installed base of PCs or servers or whatever, and say very quickly, “I just saw about this vulnerability about this component. Do I have that component anywhere in my infrastructure?” Yes or no. There's a huge value in having that. If you have to wait for your system provider to tell you that there was an issue you might've lost two months, three months, six months down the road.   Camille Morhardt: That's seems like bringing some alarms. That seems like a tremendous amount of collaboration which may exist in some industries. I think we have pretty good forward and backward traceability in the food industry in certain parts of the world to protect against bacteria and trace that. But is that level of traceability really necessary, you know, in a pair of running shoes? Maybe it is in a car or in the food that I eat, but are you adding or demanding unnecessary costs in even for the service of understanding, whether I have something, a problem with the thing that I'm using right now.   Tom Garrison: So, I think this is an episode. I think we could narrow it down to platforms. So say PCs and servers and our T devices. And I think this discussion is what we should cover today in today's podcast.   Camille Morhardt: I like it. Yup. Sounds good.   Tom Garrison: Let's go for it.   INTERVIEW Tom Garrison: In today's discussion we'll learn how Lenovo is strengthening the supply chain to further protect its customers by introducing smarter end-to-end security through new services. I'm pleased to introduce our guest Rebecca Achariyakosol Executive Director, Global Marketing, responsible for product marketing and sales enablement for Lenovo IDG services. Rebecca, please take a moment and tell us a little about your role at Lenovo.   Rebecca Achariyakosol: Sure. Hi, Tom. Thanks for the introduction and the opportunity to speak with you today. I've been working scene for Lenovo for almost three years now, and I am responsible for services, product development, marketing, and enablement for our IDG business. So IDG stands for Intelligent Device Group, and that includes all of our laptops, desktops, workstations, and any of our mobility devices like tablets and phones. I don't create products. My job is to build solutions that can solve customer problems.   Tom Garrison: Well, that sounds interesting. Um, can we maybe just jump right into it and talk about some of the new services that Lenovo has introduced?   Rebecca Achariyakosol: So the supply chain is really an area that traditionally has presented some vulnerabilities that can be exploited. The window after devices leave the manufacturer before they reach the end user, that really creates an opening for someone to tamper with the PC. They can remove or replace components and it's really hard to detect that that's happened. So Lenovo is directly addressing this problem within the security supply chain, with two services that we call Transparent Supply Chain and Trusted Device Setup. With these two services changes not only to the hardware, but also to the software can easily be detected.   Tom Garrison: Interesting. So maybe let's start with Transparent Supply Chain. Can you talk more about what Transparent Supply Chain is and how it works?   Rebecca Achariyakosol: Sure, absolutely. So Transparent Supply Chain is exclusively available for PCs with select Intel platforms. And it allows us to detect any hardware changes that were made between the factory and the customer. So it enables the visibility and the traceability of the hardware components so that customers can be confident that the system and hardware is exactly as it left the factory. So what they receive is exactly what was shipped.   Tom Garrison: Okay, so that makes sense. And, and you also mentioned Trusted Device Setup. What does that do?   Rebecca Achariyakosol: So that's kind of the other half of the equation. So Trusted Device Set up. It's a preload verification process. We seal the software at the point of manufacturing, so that any tampering attempts that occur after it's been sealed can be detected and prevented. So it's the second half -- Trusted Device Setup gives you the software security pieces from the software perspective and the Transparent Supply Chain is the hardware half.   Camille Morhardt: Hey, so Rebecca, I'm curious, transparency doesn't actually prevent a problem, right? It just, it just allows people to understand if a problem has occurred. So why do you guys value transparency just to back it up. Why are you pursuing it? How is that important?   Rebecca Achariyakosol: We have our Trusted Supplier Program and that's where we thoroughly vet our vendor and we do audits and inspections and things with our vendors to make sure that there's nothing in the supply chain up to the factory. But we also wanted to further expand how we've used security and provide an additional level for kind of end-to-end protection. So Transparent Supply Chain and Trusted Device Setup, they kind of extend that past the factory through the entire supply chain, to the customer. And with these, we can make sure that the devices are truly what they should be receiving and they don't have any kind of security, risks or concerns because something's been tampered with.   Camille Morhardt: Sometimes as an industry, we tend to throw technology at the problem and forget to adjust processes or training to add the human element and intercept problems or potential problems that way. How are you guys balancing that risk?   Rebecca Achariyakosol: The pieces that we have with our Trusted Supplier Program, you know, that's kind of a little bit more of the, the people element side where we verify with process and, and people in such that, you know, anything coming into our factory we have more control of that and so we can put those pieces in place. But we really don't have any control once it leaves our factory, right? It's really up to how the customer is consuming that product, what route to markets, who they're using and in partnership to help with different pieces of and provisioning, et cetera. And so that's where we really have to lean on the technology piece.   Tom Garrison: I think that's an interesting point that the technology almost serves as a backstop so that you can try to put all the people processes in place, but ultimately the, the last check is the, is the hardware and the, and the services you put on top of that. I wonder if you can maybe just expand a little bit on the fact now people are working from home and workforces in general are more distributed than ever. How does that play into your offerings here?   Rebecca Achariyakosol: In a recent study conducted by the security firm Barracuda Networks, 46% of surveyed global businesses said that they've encountered at least one cyber security scare since shifting to this more remote working model with COVID--and in the first quarter of this year. So that's pretty staggering. Almost half of these companies. And that's due in large part to the security risks that these remote workers pose. Right? So, you know, these services, it makes it easier, more secure to send devices directly from the factory to the employee, which is more what companies are moving to. They don't have the luxury of that coming into the office and being touched by their IT person. So this makes it easier and more secure to send those devices directly from the factory to that end user employee. And they can still have the confidence that it hasn't been tampered with. So this helps increase productivity, it reduces downtime, you get their end users up and running more quickly. And in some cases it really improves the efficiency for the customer's internal IT staff. So, we see this as maybe a continuing trend.   Camille Morhardt: Yeah. Hey Rebecca, do you think we're going to go back?   Rebecca Achariyakosol: Most of the companies that we've talked to, a good majority of them do see this aas somewhat of a permanent shift. Of course some workers are going to go back to a more traditional office, it's not going to be everybody working from home. But this had already been a little bit of a trend, um, where you'd had a more distributed workforce. And I think, you know, this has just become an opportunity, it's accelerated sort of, some of those timelines. It’s become an opportunity for customers in companies to implement a more distributed workforce a little more quickly. So I don't think it's going to go completely back. So that's why things like these technologies are going to remain important.   Tom Garrison: Now you can ship devices instead of going through sort of an IT cage to do the provisioning and so forth. You can just ship directly to the user themself. I wonder if you could talk a little bit about how you, as an IT shop, how you roll out systems with integrity.   Rebecca Achariyakosol: So there's different pieces that you have to go through to make sure that an end user can just receive a box and get up and running. There's lots of technologies that we could kind of talk about, in the provisioning space, that allow customers to be able to get onto their networks seamlessly and very quickly and access all the things that they need. So, we've kind of been on this journey to turn an employee like a laptop into a cell phone experience, right? So you get your new cell phone and it'll log in. They know who you are. You can be pulled down with our apps and things you need, you don't need somebody to get you up and running. This is very similar. And so there's, there's lots of technologies in that space. And then of course, like I said, there's the security pieces, which is a huge part of it. So it's, you know, we were talking about Transparent Supply Chain and Trusted Device Setup and how that plays into it to make sure everything is trustworthy as it gets there. But then there's just kind of the monitoring, patching, all those other types of elements that our customers have to think about as well. And, and we're happy to help them with those pieces too.   Tom Garrison: I wonder if you could speak a little bit about The customers in this space and what customers are interested in Transparent Supply Chain and Trusted Device Setup?   Rebecca Achariyakosol: I mean, honestly, any company that wants to protect their devices through the supply chain can benefit from these services, right? It's also companies that want to drive higher levels of automation in IT Like we were just talking about and they need a mechanism to ensure that what the end user's receiving it hasn't been tampered with. But additionally, specifically, you know, IT and government accounts are particular in who could be interested in those due to, you know, they're obviously highly IP sensitive nature of the work they do and the information that they handle.   Tom Garrison: Yeah. Can you talk more maybe about those classes of accounts--the highly sensitive IT accounts and government accounts?     Rebecca Achariyakosol: Sure. There are emerging standards within IT and government that they're attempting to meet, right? So these types of organizations, they typically require better visible visibility into how and where and with what their computer products are. Belts. The data is valuable for asset tracking and patching when vulnerabilities are disclosed. So it's really about them needing to be sure that everything on their system is secure and that there's nothing been put on there that can help somebody steal or leak out their information.   Tom Garrison: I'd like to transition now a little bit into the future and pick your brain a little bit, Rebecca, if you don't mind. So what do you think are the major shifts and in the next year or two?   Rebecca Achariyakosol: I think that the narratives of today, they're really going to continue forward. I mean, even before COVID-19, we'd seen customers interested in moving to a more modern IT solution and which includes, you know, security pieces. And this was to facilitate them moving to a more distributed workforce and then also to help free up their iIT staff. So these are things that we've been talking about to customers for a while. And I think all COVID is really done is it's accelerated that timeline. Um, and increasingly companies are reporting that even post COVID-19, as we talked about before, or the move will be to have more employees remote. So you're not going, we just see this big shift where everybody's going back into the office. So, it's not going to be business as usual and, and companies are going to continue to invest in modern IT security offerings to facilitate this new normal. I really think the next year or two, as you asked, it's gonna be more of what we're seeing today. Customers are putting stop fixes in place, you know, because COVID happens so quickly, but now they're going to be focused on really streamlining those processes and preparing to have the more distributed workforce.   Tom Garrison: Yeah. I've, I've said to people that have asked me similar questions, that the thing that COVID has done is it changed people's perception about how productive people could be working remotely. Cause it wasn't that long ago where people assumed that if you were working remotely, you weren't as productive as you are in the office. And I think being forced to work remotely, like we all have, we've been able to change that perception pretty significantly. And so going back to the way it used to be, I think is a, is a fantasy. I don't think it's going to happen.   Rebecca Achariyakosol: I've been a big work from home proponent and you can be very productive and there is a lot of benefits to it. So I agree with you. I think it has changed the way people are viewing it. Those that haven't had that opportunity, the world in the business world is, is going to be very different when we come off the other side.   Tom Garrison: I'm going to change gears just a little bit here and maybe have a little bit of fun. I wonder if you could maybe share with us, what's one thing that you've changed to accommodate COVID-19.   Rebecca Achariyakosol: Certainly I'm not on the road. Like I was before, you know, excitement today is defined as a walking in my neighborhood and maybe picking up some takeout. Um, but I've really enjoyed having this time to be home with my family. We've had a lot of changes. We're very much into martial arts and doing our classes via Zoom. They've recently started having some outdoor classes at the gym. So there's, you know, absolutely nothing like being outside in a hundred degree heat with a mass on exercising. (laughs) But you know, it is a chance at least to see some people. Um, and my, my oldest son, uh, every night he ends his prayers by praying COVID goes away, so he can go to his favorite sushi restaurant. Um, you know, he's really focused on all the important,   Tom Garrison: and then there's always takeout sushi, you know, don't, don't, uh, that short.   Rebecca Achariyakosol: We have done that twice now. And although, you know, I have to explain to my son that sushi is not the cheapest meal to do. Um, but he really always that experience where, you know, you, you try things and so if you like something you can continue to kind of order the different pieces that you like. Right. Versus, you know, he's got to think upfront of everything we might want to have from the restaurant. Um, but yes, we're absolutely have done on some special occasions some takeout, sushi.   Camille Morhardt: That sounds like a flexible supply chain.   Rebecca Achariyakosol: (laughs) Exactly. Absolutely. He definitely is always that flexible supply chain at a sushi restaurant. You just can't replicate that at home. I guess I could try and hide some of what we brought all and bring it out to them little by little. (laughs)   Tom Garrison: Great. Well, Rebecca, it's been nice to get to know you and thanks for coming in today and talking about. Lenovo's service offerings around Transparent Supply Chain and Trusted Device Setup. I think it was educational for people to understand what's possible and, and the kinds of protections now that can be built into the platform directly. So thanks for coming in.   Rebecca Achariyakosol: Well, thank you for the opportunity. It was a pleasure to get to know you as well.   Tom Garrison: That's a wrap. Thank you so much for listening. I'll see you next time.   Subscribe and stay tuned for the next episode of cyber security inside. Follow @tommgarrison on Twitter to continue the conversation. Thank you for listening.

In this episode, we discuss and explore the hard problem of (talking about) consciousness, or as Thomas Nagel puts it - "what is it like to be a bat?" We discovered that some people really do doubt the validity of the hard problem, and it made for an interesting and challenging dialogue.

Identity is a complex concept. "Who we are" is comprised of a rich tapestry of experiences and relationships. We try to control which of those aspects we share and which we keep private. But there are times when the world around us - strangers, coworkers, and even friends - define us in ways that don’t match the view we have of ourselves. That experience can be merely surprising or terribly upsetting, and many of us struggle both with the fear of it happening and with how we should deal with it when it does. Listen to this important episode or read the transcript below:   Leon: 00:00 Hey everyone, it's Leon. Before we start this episode, I wanted to let you know about a book I wrote. It's called, "The Four Questions Every Monitoring Engineer is Asked" and if you like this podcast, you're going to love this book. It combines 30 years of insight into the world of IT with wisdom gleaned from Torah, Talmud, and Passover. You can read more about it, including where you can get a digital or print copy over on adatosystems.com. Thanks! Kate: 00:25 Welcome to our podcast where we talk about the interesting, frustrating and inspiring experience we have as people with strongly held religious views working in corporate IT. We're not here to preach or teach you our religion - or lack thereof. We're here to explore ways we make our career. As IT professionals mesh or at least not conflict with our religious life. This is Technically Religious. Leon: 00:49 So back when we were recording episode three, in the middle of our conversation about something completely different, there was an interesting side conversation that happened between Josh and me and Roddie. Um, so I want to play it for you right now" Josh: 01:02 I will point out though that as diverse as we, uh, as we think that IT is, we're three white males on a podcast, and... Roddie: 01:13 I'm not white. Josh: 01:13 So I mean... you look white...? Roddie: 01:17 I know I do. I do look white. I'm undercover, but then I'm full. I'm full person of color. I'm, I'm half of the... And actually thinking about this podcast for the last few months of where Leon wanted to go with it, I knew kind of that would come up because I can identify as white, right? Most people look at me and say, "Well, he's just another white guy." I'm not, I'm full. I'm half Lebanese, half Palestinian, so I'm full Arab blood. Um, but it's, but it's, it's great that you actually mentioned that Josh: 01:48 That I broached it, right? New Speaker: 01:49 (dialogue fades out) Leon: 01:50 So we ended up cutting that particular exchange out of the episode, but, uh, we here on Technically Religious wanted to circle back to the concept of being identified as somehow different or what we're calling being "othered". And that's what we're going to talk about today. Uh, I'm Leon Adato and with me today. Uh, I've got Josh Biggley. Josh: 02:12 Hello-Hello. Leon: 02:14 And also Kate Asaf. Kate: 02:16 Hello. Leon: 02:17 So those are the voices that you'll be hearing on this episode. Josh: 02:20 Well, you know, Leon, I don't think that we can start this episode or really any episode without talking about, uh, what has gone on in New Zealand. If for some reason you have been living under a rock for the last two weeks, week and a half, you know, 50 people were killed at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand by an Australian guy whose name we're not going to mention because he's not important. What is important is that he took 50 lives. It's interesting when, when I heard the news I was, I was a little gob smacked because about 18 years ago my wife and I almost moved to Christchurch. We had the process all started and I thought, "Holy crap, that is a city that we seriously considered living in," and I... The Prime Minister of New Zealand is also a post-Mormon, an ex-Mormon. Uh, she grew up LDS as well. So, you know, one other tie I, I can't say enough about her and her response and I don't even know how, I can't process it in my mind very time I sit and think about it, it just, it, I think it really ties to what we're going to talk about today, about this being othered. Because if you viewed people, um, if you viewed people as human, you would not do the things that, that, that man did and that he's not the only one. There are many people throughout history who do it, but, and I'm not suggesting that what we're going to talk about is even remotely as weighty as what happened in Christchurch to those people, both who lost their lives unto those who are, who are, who are still left, but damn right, we, we, you know, my heart breaks for those people. Right? Leon: 04:04 And, and in a larger context, the far too many incidents of violence that have happened just in the last 12 months and you know, you can keep going back. And just to underscore what you said, you know, this conversation about our personal experiences of being othered or the things that we've observed is in no way meant to diminish those large world shaking events. But really just personalize them and, and bring some, you know, an element of specificity to it. So, uh, I think maybe the next thing we need to do is, is define what it means to be othered. What do we mean? There's, you know, the dictionary definition, I guess which revolves around the them versus us mentality. When you are othered, you are being called out as being somehow negatively different, lesser, not on the same plane as the person doing the othering or the group doing the other thing. Um, it's not, it's not a positive thing and that's how it differs from, let's say, you know, I say that, you know, Tom LaRock, one of my coworkers, you know, he's really tall. He's in fact circus tall. Now that's a phrase he's actually used to describe himself. That's not intrinsically othering him. Uh, because first of all, it's very specific to Tom. And second of all, uh, it's also a way he describes himself. By the same token, when I talk about a former coworker, Chris Paap, and saying he has biceps the size of my head, which is true, that isn't necessarily othering, I think. And please tell me if I'm wrong, tell me if I'm, if I'm edging into dangerous territory. Josh: 05:57 I don't, you know, I, as you were talking about being other than, and I do remember that moment when I, you know, said to Roddie, uh, and, and yourself, hey, you know, we're three white guys on the, you know, the whole debacle about me. Uh, assuming that Roddy was white and he's not a, sorry Roddy, um, you know, welcome to my white privilege. I apologize. Um, I'm wondering though, is there a, is there a time in a place where being othered, um, is not negative, you know, you use that word, um, that, uh, that made me think that maybe there's a moment where I want to be othered. I want to stand out and I want to be different. I'm, and I'm, I'm trying to think of where that might apply. So, you know, my context is, you know, I made a very conscientious decision to step away from Mormonism and, and really to turn into a, a critic of some of the things that I thought had taken Mormonism away from what I knew about it and loved about it. Um, but I don't, you know, people who are still in Mormonism, they view me as what the word is "apostate", right. So they view me as as apostate, but does that, I do, I view that as a bad thing? Because I made the choice and I, I know that Tom didn't make the choice to be, you know, circus tall. And I, I know that Chris Papp, he probably didn't intend to specifically have biceps larger than your head, although I'm sure he's glad to know that, you know, he's reached that pinnacle. Kate: 07:26 I don't know if that's like a specific measurement he was going for. Josh: 07:29 Right? Yeah. Right. You're like, you know, 16 inches, 17 inches, larger-than-Leon's-head. I like, I don't know if to scale it works like that. Right. Um, but I, I just wonder if there are times in which we, we specifically act in a way that, um, the in which we know that we are going to be othered. Um, but we do it anyway because that's who we have to be in order to be true to ourselves. Kate: 07:50 I think that the point that you hit on there being true to yourself is that it's, it's okay when it's on your terms, right? Like, I, if you've never seen me, I have pink and blue hair, which is something that I choose to do and which occasionally Leon: 08:05 Today, Kate: 08:06 Yes, yes, for this week. Um, and that gets me some strange looks, but I know that, you know, I choose to do this and it's something that I'm proud of even being a woman in tech. Like that's not super rare anymore, but it certainly was when I started and I am very proud to be a part of that group, even though it's, it comes with some strife. Speaker 3: 08:31 Hey, we, I've got, I've got a story here about Kate, and she's heard this story before, but a couple of years ago, uh, we had, we had done an upgrade of, of our platform and we got to a point where we were having some difficulties and literally got within five minutes of having to rebuild our entire environment. And Kate swooped and saved the day. I had no idea at the time how to rebuild our environment. Like, and I was just like, oh my goodness, if Kate does not save me, I'm so screwed. Uh, and it's, it's interesting because when they said, hey, you know, we're bringing in this, you know, we're bringing in this engineer and you jumped on, Kate, it didn't even cross my mind to think, "Oh, you know, that's a woman. How should you going to help me?" I was just like, "Okay, Kate, you know, you gotta save me!" Leon: 09:22 "She's saving my bacon, that's all that matters!" Kate: 09:27 I could've been a lizard person at that point and you would have been happy to see me. Josh: 09:31 It wouldn't have mattered. Yeah. So I, I'm really interested obviously, uh, you know, White Male, uh, you know, grew up, you know, middle class, uh, lived a middle upper class life. I want to know what it's like to be a woman in tech. Could you tell me? Kate: 09:45 Well here's the funny story that you're, your thing reminds me of which, by the way, I very clearly remember that upgrade. So glad I was able to save you. Um, I was talking to a customer once and it just so happened that his escalation path when he talked to Destiny and then he talked to me. Um, and when we were on the phone, super nice guy, he said, "Let me ask you a question: is SolarWinds a woman owned company?" And I thought that was kind of strange. And I said, "No, why?" And he said, "Well, I just think it's so great that they have two women working as these escalation tiers and you guys are the engineers. And I just think that's great." And I'm like, you were so close to paying us a really good compliment. Why would solutions have to be a woman owned company for us to be in these positions? Uh, but, but thanks for the effort." Leon: 10:39 Yeah, right. I guess nice. So I just want to jump in here and say, and it's slightly pedantic, but I do that well, that, that Josh, to your point and Kate, your, your example illustrates it is there's a difference between being recognized and being othered. And sometimes, uh, especially the, in the, in the mind to the speaker, that difference can be really hard to detect and oftentimes in the ears of the listener, the target, the difference is really obvious. But there's a difference between, between being recognized for either an achievement or accomplishment or simply a state of being. Again, we're going back to Tom being circus tall. There's a difference between, between being recognized - "Oh, I need to get the really good scotch off the tall shelf. I'll go ask Tom." Versus being, being either othered or outed or, or identified as something like, I didn't think it was going to be that good, but it turns out that you actually did fine. "Thanks for the compliment? I guess?" You know what I mean? It, it is again, you know, being recognized for something versus being othered can seem like a very fine distinction, um, until you're on the receiving end of it. Uh, and, and that's, I think part of it. Um, and, and again, a lot of it has to do with the, the sometimes not so subtle assumptions that go along with it. And by the way, to bring this back to tech, right, I think that IT is not immune from the... pure it forget about people with strong, you know, religious or nonreligious views or whatever it is. Um, you know, like "Those network people" or, you know, "I, I don't understand why anybody would ever want to do storage" or, you know, "oh good. You've joined or you know, you were on the virtualization team, but now you're on the cloud team. Does it feel good to get out of the basement?" Or stuff like that? Like, "No, I was, I was really proud of my, you know, vmware certification. I was really excited about all the years I spent doing, you know, quote unquote boring old route and switch networking or whatever, like that was not, uh, uh, you know, a penalty in my mind and you just turned it into one Kate: 12:57 That was actually a big thing for me, getting out of support and going to engineering because that was, everybody sort of looked down... There were, there was this perception that I escaped, you know, or that I finally have a real career and I personally loved working in support and would, you know, go back to it if the opportunity and the circumstances were right. So, but definitely, you know, support was kind of seen is that when you said the basement, that's immediately what I thought of. Leon: 13:32 Right. And, and I think that, I think in our minds in IT, we have that IT pecking order, you know, where it's like you work the help desk until you can, like you said, escape, you know, and you work your way up and whether you're going to do the, the server application track or the network, once upon a time voice in all, you know, that track or whatever. I think there's more directions to go. You know, we believe that there are these tiers as opposed to... No, no. If you can work a help desk and take any call from any person and deal with it and resolve it and triage it, that is, you know, that at the top of the show, you know, Josh expressed basically his undying love for you. Um, and I know that's not the first, you know, proposal you might have gotten over the phone, Kate. So, you know, being able to do that for somebody is not a trivial skill. Um, that, that's so, you know, again, just keeping this tech focused. Um, I think we have that. So in fact, you know, keeping on that does, does being othered manifest differently, either better or worse in IT? Like how does, how does the, the othered-ness come out in IT in ways that are either, "Oh wow. I was othered but it was kind of interesting, or, "Oh, it's actually worse than it would be in an accounting office" or something else. Josh: 14:57 I wonder if it, if it isn't worse. Um, and, uh, so I had, uh, an interesting, uh, situation just recently where I was, uh, I was tasked with figuring out how to reduce, um, a very large spend, a into a, a much smaller span. You know, it really is not the goal that we all have. "Hey, can you do the same thing with, uh, with less money?" Great. No problem. And so I, I took a couple of the ideas that I had and I, and I, I built these ideas not, um, with, with just myself. I built it with a, um, a multidisciplinary team that I'm working with. And I've got people that know tech. I have people that have no clue about tech, but they work in IT. And I, I'm using the air quotes. Um, they work in IT, but in a very different IT, it's, it's not a, it's not the pure play IT that we think of. And, uh, the initial response that I got from some of the engineers who worked in the space that we were trying to look at was, "No, you can't do that. Nope, sorry, that's not going to work." And fortunately, I'm stubborn. Um, and a little bullheaded. Um, so says my loved ones and we, uh, we pushed really hard and to ignore those people and we stumbled on what we think is going to be, uh, the killer solution. We're super excited about it as a team. Uh, we talked to some, uh, we call them principles in my office. So, you know, engineer, senior engineer principles, uh, you know, these are the, the few, the upper echelon of engineering. We talked to one of those principles and he was super excited about it. He thought, "Hey, that's awesome." So, you know, we still have a lot of work to do. But I thought, you know, isn't it interesting that some senior engineers looked at us as, you know, a group of engineers and not even engineers and thought, well, you can't do that because you didn't think this idea. Um, you weren't part of the design. You know, we're the senior engineers and now here we are presenting an idea that is completely out of context, uh, for what we would have thought at the beginning of the project that might not only introduce, uh, you know, better functionality but might reduce costs. And I love the idea of a things like a kaizen where you bring together multidisciplinary people, it intentionally brings together others, um, and puts them all into the same, in the same room and says, hey, solve a problem. Uh, I think that doing that intentionally doing that in our organizations is extremely important. It brings in perceptions. I know we've talked previously about, uh, education and the differences and being a, someone who has an IT degree versus someone who has, I dunno, like an acting degree. I don't know anyone like that. Or someone like myself who has no degree and no real college to speak of, you know, edit a six month training program, uh, at a technical college. But that was it. That is how I launched my IT career. I technically have a two year degree or two year diploma. Um, but I've never actually gone to school before. I've never been to a college or a university. Um, I just, I think it's really important that we, we acknowledged that othering exists, but that we let it be a good thing and we learned that that diversity makes our team stronger. Leon: 18:14 So I think it is one of those places where the degree thing really shines that within the rank and file. I found very few, I'm going to say actual IT people who honestly give a rat's ass about like your degree or whatever it is. Now when you get through the HR machine, it's a whole different story. And I think it's a point of frustration for a lot of this in IT, that, that getting the job requires us to have to have certain things that actually don't matter at all. And I think that that's a whole other conversation about, you know, a whiteboard interview, um, for coding. Kate: 18:56 Oh yeah. We've all seen the job listing where it's like, must know SQL, and Java, and c++, and, you know, BASIC, and COBOL, and, and you know, have a master's degree, pays $30,000 a year. Leon: 19:09 Right? Right. And, you know, 15 years of experience with AWS and like, yeah, you know, those kinds of things. Right. We've seen, we've seen those. Um, so I think that that is a place where, uh, it's better. Quick story just where IT is kind of different. Um, for those people who are new to the podcast. Again, this is Leon. I'm an Orthodox Jew. Uh, I'm a sort of a very out and proud orthodox Jew. I have the funny little hat or, you know, kippah, or yarmulke. I have little fringy things hanging out of my pants, you know, I'm, you know, black pants, white shirt, full metal, penguin, Orthodox, right? That's how I present. And the first time I was going to speak for my company, um, and I was sort of out in front of about 300 people and I realized that this is me, but I'm, I'm representing the brand. And so I pulled the, the manager aside and I said, "Okay, we're, we're in an HR free zone. This is not about lawsuit. This is, I just want to understand. Are you comfortable with me looking like this, representing the brand or do you want me to tuck the strings in? Do you want me to put a ball cap on? Like what do ya...? And he actually turned and said, "I actually have no effing idea what those things are. I thought it was like a hippie thing." And uh, I realized that I was perhaps overthinking it a little bit. Um, and so again, in it, he had othered me, but he had othered me in a way that was honestly so ridiculous in my mind that it was like, "Oh, okay. Like moving on," like, you know, like it just didn't, it, you know, it was, it was not a problem. It was like Kate, the time that we were doing THWACKcamp and the problem with you on camera was your Wonder Woman shirt that was like, okay, all right, I understand, you know, but it, of all the things that, that - horrifically- people might have pointed out about you, it was, yeah, we're not sure if the logo was okay on camera. Like, "Oh, thank God. Like, that's so, that's so wonderful. And I'm not changing my shirt. Just to be up-front about it." Kate: 21:24 Legal did eventually approve it. Leon: 21:27 Right. But it was just, you know, like those kinds of, so sometimes it can be, it can be good. Um, all right. So any examples where IT tends to do the other thing like worse? Speaker 2: 21:38 I do think that we, in IT have a, a tendency to jump to the eye. Rolling. Are you stupid? You know? Oh my God, I can't believe you don't know that. Well, you know, there's, we all had to ask the questions at one point as well. Um, I think it's important also to try and call out that sort of jerky behavior if you, if you see it and if you can, um, that's something that I've been challenging myself to do is not let things slide. If I see something wrong with it, you know, try to correct it even in a friendly sort of, "Hey, we don't, that's not helpful or productive and we don't really need to be jumping on this person." Or some of like the little micro aggressions you see as a woman in tech and meetings. Um, well my, my big pet peeve is somebody repeating what I have just said as if it was a new point. Um, I have made it a huge point to jump in and say, "Yes, thank you for repeating what I literally just said." Josh: 22:43 Bravo, Bravo. But it's hard, Speaker 2: 22:46 Especially when that person, I have a great relationship with my boss and my boss's boss and you know, above them. But in that moment, it's hard to, you know, sort of jump in and derail the conversation to call it out. But I think it's important Leon: 23:01 if you're, if you are the bystander, you know, it is incredibly powerful to, to reinforce and say, "You know what, I, I actually said that word wrong for like a month before somebody corrected me and you know..." or whatever it is. Right. You know, um, you know, getting the words wrong, but knowing how to use the technology, right? Like are you really going to get in someone's face about whether they, you know, pronounce it scuzzy or they say SCSI or you know, something like that. Now I do draw the line at GIF versus Jif... Josh: 23:36 I KNEW it was going to come up again, Leon: 23:40 But, okay. But aside from that and, and more, more importantly, Kate, what you were about, like, you know, how much more powerful is it when you know you're about to jump up and say "Thank you for..." when somebody else says "you know, there's an echo in here," you know, or whatever that, that you're not the only one who has to be listening for that. Who has to be, um, you know, trying to, to make sure that people recognize this just happened. Kate: 24:08 It's a huge relief when I see, you know, someone else do it. Because I think a thing that a lot of women struggle with is it's important to correct it, but you start to feel like you're the asshole if you're always interrupting the conversation or constantly calling out the behaviors and when no one else says anything, you feel like no one else has a problem with it. So it's, you know, tears of gratitude and joy and, and you know, much many props to anyone else who can sort of see that and stop it so that it doesn't always have to be me or you know, the, the victim, so to speak, uh, responsible for catching that kind of stuff. Leon: 24:49 Right. Having to do, having to do that, that work have, you can't have any carry that load. Right. New Speaker: 24:54 I love this idea of, um, of being an active bystander. And I guess once you're, once you've acted, you're no longer a bystander. Um, especially in the workplace. Something that, uh, that I tried to do and I'm not, I'm not perfect at it, but I, I make a really strong effort at it. And that is when someone does something that is good, I, I call it out. Um, and I try not to do it too, you know, just my female coworkers or to just my new coworkers. But when someone is truly has done something awesome, I like to call that out. And I think that goes back to the, the value of being othered, uh, for a good reason. You know, if you, if you've gone above and beyond the call of duty in, in your job or in a project or, or really in general life, cause you know, there is life outside of IT. I know that it doesn't feel like it sometimes, but I promised the entire world does not revolve around it. (Yes it does.) Leon: 25:58 I was going to say, STOP IT! STOP IT! YOU'RE RUINING MY WORLD! Kate: 25:58 Nobody believed you as you said it. New Speaker: 26:05 I know. I didn't, I didn't believe myself. It's okay. It's okay. But I think it's really important that we take the time to reach out to people and say, hey, you know, thanks. And not only, hey, you know, thanks for doing that, but also going up that level and saying to their manager, "Hey, I really appreciate the work that, you know, uh, you know, Kate did or Leon did because it made my life easier in these ways." Um, and learning how to value people is it, it'll make you a better engineer. Learning how to value people will also make you a better human being. Um, and we, we just, we need to figure it out. Um, my wife and I were actually talking it oddly enough just today about this, about how to make sure that, uh, people, uh, feel valued around you. And what we distilled was when you, it doesn't matter how good a manager or an engineer you are, if people, if people feel valued around you, then they will want to work for you. And that means you don't need to know everything. So you don't need to be the person who knows storage and virtualization and Java and cobalt and knows how to do assembly language and you can solder with your eyes closed with your left arm tied behind your back. You don't have to be that person. You just need to be the person that really talented people want to work with and in some cases want to work for. Um, I know that I've actively sought out people who I want to work with and for, and when I get into a new company, I look for those people, I look for those people whose strength and who have othered themselves because they're not like, you know, the rest of the quote unquote, you know, typical engineers. And when I find those people, I love to latch on to them. Um, it makes me better. Uh, and again, I've got lots of privilege, right? I'm white, I'm Canadian. Um, you know, middle class, middle, upper class, upper class, Leon: 27:56 (chuckles) Josh: 27:56 Hey, don't laugh about... being a Canadian, that's a privilege, man. Leon: 28:01 No, no, I'm laughing because it's true. Josh: 28:07 It's only cold here for a little while, you know, months at a time. Leon: 28:11 I'm from Cleveland and the cold never bothered me anyway. Josh: 28:18 But, you know, I, I do think it's really... you know just to finish. I just think it's really important that we recognize that othering. Uh, we can take the othering. Uh, we've talked about being negative and we can actively switch that and make it a positive thing. Um, you know, so when you see that, and I, and I had never thought about the idea of being actively engaged as a bystander. Uh, but if we, if we are and we get involved and we say, Hey, this is, you know, this is good, that's bad. Um, how, how powerful is that? Uh, and it, I think it, it starts to dissolve the, uh, the efficacy of that negative othering. Um, and yes, we're all different, right? Uh, each one of us on this call today on this podcast, but we're different. But that's, that's what makes us so awesome and so unique to, you know, what we have here. Leon: 29:13 Right. And that goes back to, you know, taking this idea of being othered, which is, is intrinsically sort of negative and turning it into recognition, you know, then I think that's where the, that's where the real power comes. All right. Well, I, I want to thank you both Josh, Kate for, uh, joining, uh, joining me today and, uh, look forward to having everyone back on for the next episode.

On this episode of the Journeywomen podcast I had the privilege of chatting with Carla Weathersbee, a family friend and expert on marriage. We talked about everything from the purpose of marriage and how marriage points us to the Gospel to fighting for oneness within our unique marriages. Carla and her husband Byron founded Legacy Family Ministries to pass Biblical principles from one generation to another through marriage preparation classes and Family Camps. Carla serves as Executive Director of Summers Mill Retreat and Conference Center.  She leads the women’s ministry in their church, teaches a weekly Bible study, and disciples young women. Together, the Weathersbees have written and developed various marriage prep resources over the past 20 years while working directly with pre-engaged and engaged couples. All of that to say, Carla’s got a lot to say about marriage and I cannot wait for ya’ll to get to hear from her!   CARLA’S RESOURCES What’s It Like to Be Married to Me? by Linda Dillow Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas E.V.
