In today's thought-provoking episode, we had the privilege of interviewing a very special guest, Daniel Maxson, Corporate Safety Director of New South Construction. Daniel takes you on an empowering journey and shares invaluable core values that lie beneath psychological safety at work. Psychological safety is not just a buzzword; it's a crucial aspect of any inclusive work culture. As we navigate through our professional lives, it's essential to consider what it truly means to feel safe in our work environments. Do we feel comfortable expressing our concerns, making mistakes or having a voice? Think about the start of your workday. Take a moment to look around you. What kind of culture are you contributing to with your colleagues? Are there people hiding from you, or perhaps do you find yourself hiding from certain colleagues? These questions may seem simple, but they hold immense importance. After all, we spend a significant portion of our lives at work—often a minimum of 40 hours each week. Remember, investing in your self-care from this perspective is not only beneficial for your professional life but also for your overall happiness and fulfillment. Tune in to this episode and discover how you can make a positive impact on your work culture and, ultimately, yourself.

DDK Pod Episode 7 – This week we come to the final part of our three-part series on Ethics in the IT industry and discuss the ethics of technology supply chains.  We all need to consume technology products these days.  We simply have no choice if we want to stay relevant, but does that mean you have to hold your nose and ditch your ethics?  Can you truly make a decision which is ‘good' given the length of modern supply chains and the lack of transparency around where the materials which go into the products we buy come from?  Is there any way to ensure that you make an ethical purchase? Also covered is our pick of the IT industry news and a few recommendations for our listeners. (A quick note on the timing of these episodes: Normally I try to get an completed fortnightly but given I have just had a new baby I am struggling to keep up with the recording, editing and production process.  Normal service, with an episode every two weeks will resume shortly. – Julian) Timecodes: 00:21 - The News06:40 – The Ethics of Technology Supply chains – is it possible to be good in the modern world?25:08 - DDK Recommends Stuff30:56 - Get in touch Amazing Lightsaber video!  Get in touch with the show: Email us ddkpod@ddklimited.com Tweet us: @ddklimitedOur Website: www.ddklimited.comFind us on LinkedIn: DDK Limited

DDK Pod Episode 6 – This week (slightly later than planned – apologies!) we continue our three-part series on Ethics in the IT industry and discuss the ethics of consuming tech in the modern world.  Both companies and individuals have a responsibility to ensure that they remain within ethical standards, but is that really such an easy thing to do?  We examine some ways of evaluating your own ethical footprint and look at the ethics of a case study we should all be interested in: lithium-ion battery recycling.  Its more interesting than it sounds!

Weeks - dead (April 11, 1860 – July 12, 1926), but affecting NH to this very day.   NH History Coös County Originally part of Grafton County, Coös was the first county created after US Independence in 1803. The population at that time was only 3,000 people Coös is an Abenaki term for “dwellers in the pine tree place”or “small pines” Coös has 20% of NH's land area but only 2.3% of its population at 33,055 at the 2010 census. To compare, Derry, NH's fourth largest town had 33,255 at the 2010 census In the 19th Century logging, pulp and paper were some of the main industries especially in Berlin, which was home to the Brown Paper Company, which actually invented the modern tape measure in 1922. By the early 1900's tourism was a booming industry, with grand hotels opening such as The Balsam's in Dixville Notch, home of the first in the nation vote. The Mt. Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, home of the Bretton Woods Conference we talked about in a previous episode. Mountain View Grand in Whitefield which has a great view of the Presidential Range in the White Mountains. Tourism is the biggest industry to this day Coös County is one of the most consistent bellwether counties in the nation, having supported the president-elect in every election since 1892 besides 1968 and 2004. Makes up the vast majority of NH's unincorporated places which are townships that have no government and are usually unpopulated year round. (23, rest of NH 2) No, you can't get away with murder there. The County runs the place with either neighboring towns or state police providing the police force. Day to day stuff like trash collection plowing etc homeowners pay to the nearest town voluntarily. There's no property tax in unincorporated places Before you think about buying property, though, some of the unincorporated places are in the White Mountain National Forest which is unfortunately owned by the Feds, or in State owned parks. Which means building a home isn't allowed in those places. http://www.cooscountynh.us/county-info/pages/history http://nhpr.org/post/you-asked-we-answered-can-you-get-away-murder-nhs-unincorporated-towns#stream/0   Suggestions/Feedback Do you have a topic that you would like for us to discuss?

Will be commissioned the Saturday May 26th 2018(NB) NH History Alan Shepard, first American in space. Born in Derry, NH in 1923 Earned a Bachelor of Science at the US Naval Academy Served on a Navy ship in the Pacific ocean during WWII After the war, entered flight training, then graduated from the Naval Test Pilot School and the Naval War College In April 1959, Shepard was selected as one of NASA's first group of seven astronauts On May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard became the first American in space. He flew on a one-person Mercury spacecraft that he named Freedom 7. It launched on a Redstone rocket. On this flight, Shepard did not orbit Earth. He flew 116 miles high and then returned safely. The flight lasted about 15 ½ minutes. After his first flight, Shepard developed a medical problem. An inner ear problem stopped him from flying in space. NASA named Shepard as chief of the Astronaut Office. He helped select new astronauts, plan missions and make sure astronauts were ready to fly. Later, he had surgery to fix the ear problem, and he was able to fly again. Almost 10 years passed between his first and second flights. Shepard's second spaceflight was on the Apollo 14 mission to the moon. He was commander of a crew that included Stuart Roosa and Edgar Mitchell. The Apollo spacecraft was launched on a Saturn V (5) rocket. On Feb. 15, 1971, Shepard and Mitchell landed on the moon. (Roosa stayed in orbit around the moon while the other two landed.) During two moonwalks, Shepard and Mitchell collected more than 100 pounds of moon rocks. They conducted scientific experiments on the lunar surface. Shepard also became the first person to hit a golf ball on the moon, showing how far it would go in the moon's lower gravity. After his second flight, Shepard returned to his job as head of the Astronaut Office. He retired from NASA in 1974. Shepard worked in private business. He also did volunteer work to support education and to help people learn about spaceflight. Shepard died of leukemia in 1998. My favorite quote from him, “It's a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract.” https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/5-8/features/nasa-knows/who-was-alan-shepard-58.html   Suggestions/Feedback Do you have a topic that you would like for us to discuss?

The emerging distributed ledger software technology Blockchain, being developed for use in financial transactions, has applications in how we manage insurance information, too.  It could one day be used to reduce Florida's nearly 27% rate of uninsured drivers – the highest in the nation – while providing added convenience and money-saving efficiencies to both consumers and insurance companies.  Blockchain technology is also touted as an answer to the current climate of data breaches and compromised personal information.Host Lisa Miller, a former deputy insurance commissioner, talks with the leader of the insurance consortium applying Blockchain and a Florida State Senator who calls it the next wave in the insurance space, especially when it comes to fighting growing insurance fraud.  Guests on the podcast are Christopher McDaniel, Executive Director of the RiskBlock Alliance and Senator Jeff Brandes (R-Pinellas County) who discuss what exactly Blockchain is and isn't, how it's currently being used,  and the rapid growth opportunities this new technology represents.Show Notes:Blockchain is a new technology that is changing how we manage insurance information.  Blockchain is a distributed ledger software that uses a continuously growing list of records – known as blocks – that don't rely on a centralized third-party vendor to administer.  Instead, each party to a financial or other transaction is networked and has the original and updated versions of the transaction, which is contained on many different and anonymous blocks.   By its design, it's advertised as being highly resistant to any data modification by any single participant, once recorded.Christopher McDaniel of the RiskBlock Alliance said that Blockchain unfortunately has been made out to be very complicated and that it really isn't, despite lots of jargon that has confused both consumers and the insurance industry.  And while Bitcoin also uses Blockchain technology for public currency exchange, he said there is no connection between the crypto-currency and the RiskBlock Alliance efforts.“What Blockchain really brings first and foremost to the table is that the concept of transactions can go away.  Transactions being anything between two parties, whether that's the consumer and their insurance agent or whether it's the agent and the insurance carrier,” said McDaniel on the podcast.  “If you have a blockchain solution in place, everybody has ubiquitous instant access to that information.”  In addition to the information being made into an un-erasable permanent record, McDaniel said Blockchain is capable of using “Smart Contracts”, which use an “if-then” logic protocol to automate activities, saving time and cutting out middlemen.While Blockchain applications are still very new to the insurance industry, there are applications underway right now.  Nationwide Insurance just implemented Blockchain for proof of insurance, simplifying verification of automobile insurance coverage in real time and eliminating the need for paper ID cards.  McDaniel pointed out that right now, neither party in an auto accident really knows the other person has auto insurance.  They have paper insurance cards that say they do, but that insurance may have since been cancelled, prior to the accident.“Basically inside the mobile phone app is a plug-in, so that the two people involved in the accident can basically tap their phones together and in a matter of seconds it goes out to the Blockchain and it comes back down and says the other person has insurance and how much coverage they have,” explained McDaniel.Florida tops the nation in the number of uninsured drivers on its roadways.  The Insurance Research Council (IRC) says 26.7% of Florida drivers drive without auto insurance, according to its latest study based on 2015 data.  The insurance industry puts the average cost of an uninsured motorist claim at about $20,000, excluding any vehicle damage. The RiskBlock Alliance, which is part of The Institutes, an industry educational and research organization, has developed 30 different uses for Blockchain technology in managing insurance information.  The 23 companies currently involved in the Alliance include Nationwide, USAA, and Geico.  McDaniel said the number is expected to grow to nearly 60 companies by year end.  Florida State Senator Jeff Brandes (R-Pinellas County) is a believer in Blockchain's potential, especially in the Sunshine State, and has been urging greater awareness of the technology among his fellow legislators.  “My sense is that this is the next wave in the insurance space for transactions and they (legislators) need to be able to understand and begin to find and contemplate some of the opportunities that come along with this new technology,” he shared with host Lisa Miller and McDaniel.    Brandes and McDaniel agreed that Blockchain's proof of insurance capability could be expanded to proof of driver licenses, which would assist law enforcement and Florida's Division of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to identify people who shouldn't be driving.  Brandes said that seems like an area where some legislative authority would be required to pursue.“One of the big opportunities that Blockchain brings is the ability to reduce fraud.  To the extent that we can have all the other services and reduce fraud, I think you're going to see a variety of businesses begin to use it.  Many of them won't even know they're using Blockchain technology – it'll just be the new way to do business,” said Senator Brandes.  Not only are insurance companies starting to use Blockchain, but they're introducing it to their policyholders' businesses, too.   McDaniel's pointed to two sectors – energy and trucking transportation – as examples. “All the pieces and parts that they have need to be insured.  We're bringing efficiencies to them through the Blockchain.  A version of our proof of insurance solution for commercial trucking is reducing the current 30-minute manual process at depots…down to less than 30-seconds to prove insurance coverage.  That one check, with just one trucking logistics company, happens 200,000 times a day,” McDaniel said. “I think the exciting thing is that we're seeing rapid adoption of this technology, largely because it drives value for insurers,” added Senator Brandes.  “These insurance companies are very focused on reducing fraud.  Obviously they see that as a negative piece to their rate base and so the opportunity for them to speed along transactions, close things out quickly, and the idea of automatic transactions, I think really appeals to them and all are strong reasons why you're seeing large insurers begin to make this shift over.  And I think over time, that's only going to continue.”  Blockchain provides a unique set of data from which you can then apply analytics to ferret out fraud right from the beginning and put a stop to it in a more comprehensive way than previously available.  The other big consumer benefit to Blockchain technology is data security for its users.  McDaniel said the RiskBlock Alliance is looking closely at adopting the GDPR Rule, a European standard on information privacy and ownership, anticipating it will one day be the rule in the United States.  “Everybody's seen all the stuff in the news lately about Facebook.  It really centers around the customer's safety of their data, their right to control their data, and the right to be forgotten.  We're going to that level here right from the beginning in what we've built,” McDaniel said.  On the podcast, McDaniel also shares the RiskBlock Alliance's efforts to partner with the B3i, a European effort on the use of Blockchain technology in reinsurance.Host Lisa Miller noted that Blockchain represents an opportunity to bring insurance innovators together with public policy innovators to collaborate on creating new and better insurance products and services for the marketplace.  And what better place to do so than here in Florida?  She said that Blockchain could also help regulate our new medical marijuana industry here in Florida.  “There are exciting times indeed to look at technology that can help us work smarter – not harder – while providing enhanced consumer value and protection,” said Miller.

On this episode I interview Indianapolis Fire Department Chief of Health and Safety, Doug Abernathy. Doug’s career has spanned almost three decades and on February 5, 1992, he had a close call event that, most unfortunately, took the lives of two of his brother firefighters. In this episode, you’ll learn about:   1. Doug’s close call that involved tunnel vision and running out of air on the third floor. 2. How he became disoriented and realized, for the first time in his life, he may die in a fire. 3.  How he was in shock and disbelief that he was carrying out downed firefighters. 4. How is training saved his life. 5. Reflection shared by Indiana State Fire Training Director, John Buckman, III       FEATURE TOPIC   It was just after midnight on Feb. 5, 1992, when 911 dispatchers got the call reporting smoke in the lobby of the old Athletic Club downtown, a nine-story, non-sprinklered building with a working fire in the third floor. Before the fire would be extinguished, Corporal Ellwood M. "Woody" Gelenius, 47 and Private John J. Lorenzano, 29 would be killed. This interview is with a firefighter, assigned to Engine 13, experienced a close call event at this fire, and then, after surviving, assisted in searching for, and locating, two of his comrades, one of which was his classmate in the academy just four years earlier.   Normally, when I conduct an interview, I like to stop along the way and ask questions and engage in a discussion with my guest. This story is so compelling and so impactful, I simply could not bring myself to interrupt Chief Abernathy’s telling of events.    Video from the Athletic Club fire http://vimeo.com/25100035   United States Fire Administration Technical Report http://www.usfa.fema.gov/downloads/pdf/publications/tr-063.pdf   Indianapolis Star article http://archive.indystar.com/article/99999999/NEWS06/110204013/The-Athletic-Club-fire-1992   Situational Awareness Matters! website www.SAMatters.com   On-Line Academy http://www.samatters.com/situational-awareness-matters-academy/   Upcoming Events Schedule http://www.samatters.com/programs-keynote/eventschedule/   Books and Videos (Store) http://www.samatters.com/store/   Firefighter Near Miss Reporting System http://www.firefighternearmiss.com/   Close Call Survivor Website www.CloseCallSurvivor.com   Contact Rich Gasaway www.RichGasaway.com Support@RichGasaway.com 612-548-4424  

Goodness, the technical difficulties were flying this episode! We had 9 recordings. (9!!!) So, as a result, some of it may seem a bit non-linear. I didn’t leave in all of the conversations in between, just a couple that were particularly amusing for one reason or another before we started again. My co-host this week was Ashayo! Goodness, I had so much fun recording with him, despite the internet difficulties, and he was very patient with my crazy connection problems. We worked through them all, disconnected and reconnected repeatedly, and had to double check that the program was recording so many times that it nearly made my head spin, but it was all worth it. I think each episode just keeps getting easier and easier for me to record and edit. (Which is good for you, the listener, because it means I get things out more often. Yay!) Upcoming is a bit of a vacation for me - I’ll be away from the household for two weekends, and since my recording software is on my desktop, it’s unlikely I’ll be able to record during my absence. As such, it’ll be a bit before we have another recording of OMGNAP, but hopefully we can get that arranged soon for the 10th episode. I also highly intend to have the intro (and maybe even an outtro?) ready by that point, so it is not quite so abrupt a beginning and ending. I hope you enjoy!
