In the latest episode of Standing Post, Executive Director of the Office of Equity and Employee Support Services Loucious Hires III discusses a topic that is difficult for some to talk about: diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I). It's an incredible conversation with approachable definitions for diversity, equity and inclusion, and the important roles these principles have in strengthening organizations.

In this episode of Standing Post, we're joined by Special Agent Robert Waltman, who discusses one of our lesser known programs: Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS). This initiative focuses on countering the emerging threat that drones, with their small size and high speed, pose to our protectees. As an expert in the technology--Waltman started using drones when they were known as multi-rotors and required pilots to build them from parts off the shelf--he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience about this issue, and tells us a little about his non-traditional path to becoming a Secret Service Special Agent. If you have an interest in drone technology in an exciting and challenging environment, consider a career in the Secret Service. We're expanding our Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems program to include special agents, officers and technical professionals that are familiar with drones and want to have an impact in the world.

In this episode of Standing Post, we have the unique opportunity to speak to Deputy Assistant Director Darryl Volpicelli, the former Special Agent in Charge of the Presidential Protective Detail. While he is currently an executive in our agency, as the SAIC of PPD, DAD Volpicelli was responsible for every element of security for the President, whether that was in the White House or traveling throughout the US and abroad. We have a frank discussion with him about the stresses of such a high-stakes job, the inner workings of what it takes to protect the President - including the secret trip into the Ukraine by train - and why it's such a rewarding position that every agent in the Secret Service works towards. If you're seeking an exciting and challenging career in a fast-paced environment, consider a career in the Secret Service.

Jonathan Parker writes, directs and produces films which blend together the aspects of art he gravitates toward, including architecture, music, storytelling and intricate attention to detail. The Northern California native grew up in an artistic family, and studied English at Stanford. It was when he joined a New Wave band, and directed their first music video that he discovered film's nature of acting as a matrix for his artistic interests. After directing several short films, Jonathan wrote and directed his first feature film — Bartleby —an adaptation of Herman Melville's short story: Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street. The film marked the first of several feature film collaborations with Catherine DiNapoli, with whom he co-wrote the screenplay. He included a satirical bent relevant to his time and place (just as Melville did in the 1850s) in his adaptation, which starred David Paymer, Glenne Headly, and Crispin Glover playing the eponymous character. He continued this philosophy as he embarked on his next film — The Californians — an adaptation of Henry James's The Bostonians. The film, which starred Noah Wyle, Ileana Douglas, Kate Mara and Keith Carradine, premiered on Showtime and surveyed the conflicted love-triangle between an idealistic real estate developer (Wyle); his environmentalist sister (Douglas); and the protest folk singer who comes into their lives (Mara). Jonathan's own experience as a real estate developer informed the film's scenic undertone, the characters' diverse perspectives and their motivations. This theme of incorporating personal experience into narrative film carried into his next project — (Untitled) — which starred Adam Goldberg, and followed an experimental musician's plight into the New York City art scene; and in The Architect, starring Parker Posey, Eric McCormack and James Frain, which explores the confluence of a couple who's vision of “the perfect home” is in diametric opposition and an eager, theoretically-motivated architect as he attempts to construct their dream home. The former was scored by David Lang, who won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Music. His latest work is the documentary film Carol Doda Topless at the Condor, which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival in 2023 and navigates the rise to fame of an influential San Franciscan topless dancer in 1964. Jonathan co-directed the film with Marlo McKenzie, while Lars Ulrich serves as a producer. The film analyzes Doda's impact on the sociocultural narrative of feminism, free speech, fashion and politics in the United States. In our conversation, we discussed Jonathan's journey into music and film; imbuing each of his projects with his own personal experiences; and the unique story of Carol Doda's plight in San Francisco.Opening Credits: 1st Contact - Cavemen I Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0); The New Mystikal Troubadours - A Cinematic Influence I Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United States (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 US).

As a child, Uniformed Division Officer Leth Oun experienced some of the worst atrocities known to man: he grew up in Cambodia in the 1970s under the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot's reign of terror. After years of brutality, he was able to flee Cambodia and made his way to America as a refugee, settling in Maryland. He learned English, graduated from high school and college and eventually joined the Secret Service after the September 11 attacks. As he prepares to retire after two decades with the agency, he sat down and discussed his life's story, an incredible tale of overcoming adversity and trauma. As a warning, this episode includes a discussion about death and torture by a brutal regime, both against humans and animals. Sensitive listeners or anyone listening with young children may want to skip this episode.

Film, television and theatre are each modalities in the performing arts Ezra Barnes has been directly immersed into, both as an actor and director. Using performance as a curiosity valve for the preservation of ideals, such as imagination and spirited curiosity, are an important element of Ezra's foundational goals as an actor. Since joining a secret film club in fourth grade, Ezra instinctively knew he was going to be an artist. And going to the theatre starting from an early age, with encouragement from both of his parents, who were heavily invested in the arts, helped lay some of the groundwork for the ideals Ezra became drawn to as a performer. Some of his notable theatre productions as an actor include Fraser Grace's Breakfast With Mugabe, which he also produced; To Kill a Mockingbird, as Atticus Finch; and several productions of the Shakespearean canon. He has directed productions of The Diary of Anne Frank; One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; Julius Caesar; As You Like It; and A Midsummer Night's Dream. In the meantime, Ezra has appeared in several film and television projects, including Bored to Death; Law & Order; Jessica Jones; Orange is the New Black; and Motherless Brooklyn, opposite Edward Norton. Additionally, he runs the Young Actors Workshop in Brooklyn to inspire the next generation of theatre. In our conversation, we discussed the origins and film adaptation of Group, the group psychotherapy series in which he plays Frank, and its relevance to the present day; the influence of Count Basie on his idea of performance; directing theatre; inspiring curiosity from knowing the script, but not actively thinking about it in the moment; and how height influences the perception of life. His upcoming projects include Birth/Rebirth, the Sundance/IFC horror film which will be released in theaters, and available to stream on August 18; as well as Can't Let it Go, a comedic film on the emotional hangover in the aftermath of the 2016 election starring Mario Cantone.Opening Credits: Plaga de baile - I WAS A MOD (pero ya no) I Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United States (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 US); HoliznaCC0 - April Showers I CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication.

Everyone's path to the Secret Service is different. In the case of Special Agent Tory Green, his life started in a low-income, single-parent household and he somehow made his way to becoming an Eagle Scout, Huntsville Police Officer and eventually a Special Agent in the Secret Service.

Janet Grillo's latest directorial effort — The Warm Season — is a testament to being conscious in a changing time. It is true the landscape of film has evolved over the years; however, it's the consistency of Janet's track record as a multifaceted filmmaker which exudes the contrast between black and white; open or closed; and aware vs. uncertain. After graduating from Wesleyan and NYU-Tisch, the New Jersey native joined the Playwright's Workshop Lab at the Circle Repertory Company, where she continued to develop her eye for taste as Assistant Literary Manager. She joined New Line Cinema in the mid-eighties, where she rose through the ranks from Story Analyst to Senior Vice President of East Coast Production and earned her reputation as a force in the world of film production and development. From discovering director Reggie Hudlin (Marshall; Django Unchained; Sidney) and developing the game-changing House Party franchise with him (the first of which grossed $25M and received the Audience Award at Sundance); to producing and developing hip hop classics like Hangin' with the Homeboys (John Leguizamo's film-lead debut which received the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award), Pump up the Volume, and the directorial debut of Ted Demme — Who's the Man — Janet sensed the sentiment she was feeling on New York City subways and helped give a voice to hip hop culture using the medium of film. A chance encounter with David O. Russell at Sundance led to a flurry of incredible film projects, including Spanking the Monkey, his feature film directorial debut which won the Audience Award at the same festival; Flirting with Disaster; Three Kings and I Heart Huckabees, the latter of which she also acted in. Other filmmakers Janet developed include Seth Tsvi Rosenfeld (Brother's Kiss), Alan Taylor (Palookaville), Myra Paci (Searching for Paradise) and the intriguing Frank Whaley in his writing and directing debut — Joe the King. Janet's impact as an activist for autism awareness can be traced to her role as Executive Producer of the esteemed documentary Autism: The Musical, the subject of which was entitled “The Miracle Project.” The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2007; was subsequently picked up by HBO, and led her to win an Emmy Award for Best Non-Fiction Feature the following year. It can also be seen in her feature film directorial debut, Fly Away, starring Ashley Rickards and Beth Broderick; and Jack of the Red Hearts (AnnaSophia Robb; Famke Janssen; Taylor Richardson). We discussed living in upstate New York; her approach toward developing some of the most incredible filmmakers in Hollywood; translating personal experience into her own directorial projects; and the state of independent film in the landscape of streaming.Opening Credits: The Underscore Orkestra - Blue Draggish I Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United States (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 US); Dee Yan-Key - Aimless I Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0); Closing Credits: The Underscore Orkestra - Versipelllis I Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United States (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 US).

Actress and writer Angela Zhou stars in the upcoming Hulu show, Death and Other Details (formerly Career Opportunities in Murder & Mayhem) which is set to premiere this year. She previously starred in AMC's Hell on Wheels, opposite Anson Mount, playing a character trying to make a fresh start while carrying an important secret. The show was shot in Canada, and took place during the time following the Civil War, and laid across the backdrop of the construction of the first transcontinental railroad across the United States. Throughout her journey, she's guest-starred on several television shows, including Supergirl, MacGyver, and NCIS: Los Angeles and performed with SGCNZ's Young Shakespeare Company at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London. In our conversation, we talked about her experience writing and acting on her new Hulu show; growing up in New Zealand; the best food in all the places she's lived; our experiences at Duke University; and a pivotal class decision which essentially affected the course of her entire life story.Opening Credits: 300€ - Demoiselle Döner I CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication; Invisible Ink - Lemon Knife I Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).

Unique experiences affecting disparate individuals, from the marginalized to the privileged, form the template for the types of stories filmmaker Jesse Gustafson conveys in his projects. After graduating high school in Florida, Jesse enlisted in the US Army at age 17, and was deployed on a peacekeeping mission to post-genocide Bosnia-Herzegovina. Considering the possibility of remaining in the military, Jesse decided to study theater, studying scenic design at the University of Florida and graduating with a BFA degree in stage acting and directing from UC Santa Barbara. After college he moved to Bangkok, Thailand where he directed and performed for an English-speaking theater company. He went on to work in theaters across the US, including Playwrights Horizons in New York, the American Reparatory Theater in Boston and the Magic Theater in San Francisco. He has an MFA in Film from Columbia University, where his thesis film, DAY 39, was a finalist for the Student Academy Award. He has directed the camp-cult action film, Black Site Delta, starring Cam Gigandet; and his other short films include The Starlight; Riches; and Double Header. He also produced frequent collaborator Laurence Vannicelli's feature, Vera, as well as his short film, The Young Housefly starring Alex Karpovsky. In our conversation, we discussed life in the military; the relationship between trauma and empathy; and my involvement in his next film which features a psychiatrist.Opening Credits: selfpity - Always Feel the Cold I Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0); In De Nadfin - Encontré I Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United States (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 US); Closing Credits: A Crooked Pulse - Dark Spots I Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)

In this episode of Standing Post, we talk to two analysts in our Forensic Services Division about science-focused careers in a law enforcement agency. Supervisory Document Analyst Meg O'Brien and Fingerprint Specialist Alicia Hope discussed their early love of science, entering forensic career fields after college and how they help support investigations for both the Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies. During the conversation, they provide a full picture of what their jobs entail and the investigative tools they rely on, including the Secret Service's International Ink Library and using chemistry to create even more tools.

Episode #048 - Please welcome USSS Armorer Bill O' Rourke to the show. O' Rourke has been with the Secret Service for more than 30 years as an armorer at the James J. Rowley Training Center (RTC). During his tenure, he's seen extensive changes to the organization, including the transformation of RTC from a one-building structure to a multi-acre complex responsible for most Secret Service training. O' Rourke has also been a part of several firearms changes in the organization – and he and his four-person team have personally every service weapon in use today.

 Our conversation with O' Rourke is a great look into a little known area of the Secret Service: weaponry. He talks about the transition from revolvers to automatic weapons, the changes in calibers and even how ammunition is tested. There's a lot of science in ensuring that every weapon in the agency fires accurately every time.

One of the key themes for the Code for America Summit is Diversity Equity and Inclusion but what does this actually mean and how do we do it meaningfully so it's not just window dressing? To help us unpack this meaty and complex topic we enlist the help of three key and entertaining thinkers in the space here at the summit. Due to scheduling, this was recorded in two parts: Part 1: Brian Whittaker is the newly minted Acting Chief Innovation Officer for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. He is is well known in Federal tech circles with over 10 years of experience leading IT transformation projects across the government. Angelica "Angie" Quirarte is the Federal Partnerships Director for the Tech Talent Project designed to diversify the tech talent being brought into governments. Part 2 (at the 19:12 mark): Victor Udoewa is the Chief Experience Officer & Service Design Lead for NASA. That's right the organization who put people on the moon, and Victor gives us a teaser of what is coming next.

Every year the Code for America Summit is the must go to event for civic techies and open data advocates from across the continent and around the world. After the pandemic forced us all online, finally we are able to come together for a hybrid in-person and online summit being hosted May 17-18 in Washington, D.C.. For this year's summit we are trying something new. Partnering with Code for America, Stories from the Open Gov will be doing semi-live podcasting throughout the event. Think of this as your window into the summit: a chance to hear from key speakers, get insights from people on the ground and daily analysis of key themes that are emerging. To help kick this off, we are joined by Code for America's Chief of Staff, Ryan Ko and brand new Director of Communications, Marlena Medford. Join us as we discuss the upcoming summit, giving a peak behind the curtain and highlighting what to look for over the next couple days.

In today's episode we speak with Chrystel Cornelius (Ojibwe; Oneida), CEO of the Oweesta corporation---the longest standing Native Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) Intermediary and Skya Ducheneaux (Lakota), ED of Akiptan---a relatively new Native CDFI dedicated to agricultural lending in Indian country. Both share with us what Native CDFIs are (Institutions that provide capital access to marginalized communities that don't have regular avenues to enhance their personal credit histories, and their entrepreneurship); how they operate (providing technical assistance and capacity building in conjunction with lending activities); what relationship based as opposed to transactional financing looks like (in it together as community members, as relatives); what to consider if wanting to start a CDFI (market studies and long term investment capital) and the needs of Native CDFIs (long-term patient loan capital and investor partners committed for the long haul). We hear about the power of truly working with borrowers as partners a key to their success and the collaborative nature of the broader Native CDFI industry. Chrystel notes that "even if we are in competition for a grant, we support each other, which is different than banking institutions and competing non-profits. We know there are so few of us left and we really are interested in the next 7 generations. Every day is somewhat of a prayer. We are so blessed to be put in these positions by our Creator. How do we conduct ourselves? How do we be a true relative?" We then ask about the biggest needs for Native CDFIS. Their responses: 1. long term, patient loan capital 2. market studies 3. operations grants As Skya from Akiptan notes, "there is so much need for loan capital in Indian country. But when I say loan capital, you can't just give a Native CDFI some money for a couple of years and check a box and say yay I helped the Native CDFIs. No, its not like that, if you want to help make a long term sustainable impact and change there needs to be long term, patient, innovative capital that goes with that...Just give me a call or come to Eagle Butte and visit with me...or just pick up your phone and call your local Native CDFI and ask what you can do. We would love to talk to you. The best way to support us just to be equal thought partners." We finally ask what advice they have for those wanting to start CDFIs in their communities and learn about what to consider, whether it actually be starting a new CDFI or partnering with an existing institution to expand their lending landscape. Chrystel noted that first and foremost Indian country really needs an expanded platform of interested investors to integrate into continuing to build prosperity. Yet for those interested in started a new CDFI, Oweesta continues to remain a pillar in supporting the Native CDFI industry and can help support. That is but a short synopsis.
