I am always looking for the seeds of a disruptive new way of thinking. This often is the genesis of a new model for doing business or a new model for governance within a family, association, community, or nation. From this, new tools are provided to affect the idea and the model. New technologies are created. In this great conversation, we speak with Marisa Randazzo, Ph.D, Executive Director for the Ontic Center of Excellence, Through the convergence of her academic experience and her applied research in the field, she became known as an international expert in behavioral threat assessment and protective intelligence, specializing in preventing school shootings, workplace violence, stalking, and assassinations. Before joining forces with Ontic, she was the CEO of SIGMA Threat Management Associates. She helps me understand the pathway to violence and its potential at stopping violent crimes before they happen. And we explore the ways we can train people be active ‘sensors' in picking up the signals of a potential threat before it happens. These people sensors are now being augmented by technology that can help collect, manage, and communicate the data creating the means to stop an incident before it happens. We learn that most potential perpetrators are human beings crying for help. They are not sociopaths or psychopaths or monsters. They are not intrinsically evil. Their acts are. This basic logic ladder called the pathway to violence is a useful construct for creating innovation and change that our country desperately requires. Enjoy the conversation.

Diplomatic Security Service Special Agent Fred Burton spent most of his career focused on counter terrorism.  Among his more notable cases, he investigated the assassination of Israeli Prime minister Yitzhak Rabin. He was part of the investigation of the FIRST World Trade Center Bombing and was involved in the arrest of Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind behind that attack.  He was also part of a special team set up to locate and free western hostages in Beirut. He is recognized as one of the foremost experts in the country and last year was named among the most influential people in the security field.  Fred currently serves as the Executive Director for the ONTIC Center for Protective Intelligence where he also hosts a great podcast. He has also written several bestselling books drawn from his time in the DSS. The Diplomatic Security Service traces its history back to 1916 when the State Department established the Office of the Chief Special Agent. The DSS has the largest global reach of any US Federal Law Enforcement Agency. We discuss the emergence of modern day terrorism in the 1970's with a particular focus upon the Iranian revolution in 1979 and their affiliation with Hezbollah.  Fred's book “Beirut Rules” tells the story of the kidnapping and murder of CIA Station Chief William Buckley.  He sees the attacks in Beirut and the 2012 assaults in Benghazi as both out of the "same playbook". Fred emphasizes that when you have a lack of human intelligence combined with lack of tactical analysis it usually leads to disaster. TAKEAWAY: Fred's father was a military policeman and played a role in the Nuremberg trials following World War II. Fred will never forget his father's words: “Son, there is evil in this world. There always has been and there always will be.”
