In cybersecurity, we need to understand the mindset of hacking, which is not ethics. We also need to realize that even if we have cybersecurity experts get hacked, there is no reason to feel embarrassed or ashamed when it happens to us. In today's show we're going deep into the world of cybersecurity with one of the industry's most seasoned experts, Sam Curry. With over 30 years of experience in information security, Sam has been defending against cyber threats, shaping security strategies and mentoring the next generation of cyber professionals.  Currently the Global VP and CISO-in-Residence at Zscaler, Sam has also held leadership roles at companies like RSA, McAfee and Arbor Networks where he helped pioneer innovations in VPN technology and personal firewalls. But cybersecurity isn't just about firewalls and encryption—it's about mindset. Sam joins us to talk about the hacker mentality, zero-trust security and why even the best security professionals get hacked.  From his early days in cryptography to mitigating major cyber breaches Sam shares his insights on how businesses and individuals can defend themselves in a digital world. If you've ever wondered how cybercriminals think, how AI is changing the security landscape or what you can do to stay one step ahead then this episode is for you.  Show Notes: [00:55] Sam is Global VP and CISO-in-Residence at Zscaler. For the last 32 years, he's been involved in every part of security at some point. [01:23] He teaches cyber and used to run RSA Labs at MIT. He currently teaches at Wentworth Institute of Technology, and he also sits on a few boards. [02:41] We learn how Sam ended up working in cyber security. He has patents in VPN technology, and was one of the co-inventors of the personal fire law which was sold to McAfee. [04:14] There were security principles before 1996. [07:38] Sam feels a need and a mission to protect people. It's very personal to him. [08:40] He was there for the breach that RSA had. He's also been spearfished. [12:47] The shepherd tone is an audio illusion that makes sound that can make people sick because it sounds like it's always increasing. [16:31] Scams are way under reported because people are too embarrassed to report them. [19:31] Challenges of keeping security up. In peacetime we have to remember to build resilience and be antifragile. [22:10] Zero trust is a strategy and architecture for minimizing functionality. [28:14] There are immediate benefits from a security perspective to start creating zero trust. [30:17] Problems need to be defined correctly. [33:03] Even people who've done incredible research on hacking techniques have gotten hacked. There's no shame in it. [34:02] We need the hacker mindset. It's an important part of the human community. [36:44] The importance of making things easier to understand. [38:18] Advice for people wanting to get into cybersecurity is being just this side of ready and tackling things that are a little too big and a little too scary. Also find allies and a network.

Josh Luckens interviews Dr. Igor Minevich, Professor of Applied Mathematics at the Wentworth Institute of Technology. Minevich explains why the Teaching and Learning Collaborative's New Faculty Orientation and Instructional Coaching program “changed the way I feel about teaching,” inspiring him to “lead the classroom like a partnership” and “teach from the heart.” He discusses why he shifted away from lecture-based instruction to a “multi-way dialogue” in which his whole class is “co-creating learning.” He offers strategies for getting students “excited about the mystery of how something works…actually discovering things they're learning for themselves, with me guiding.” Minevich shares his belief that “mathematics is really about the discovery of truth, of how the universe works, why things are the way they are. What we're learning in math is actually truth, something deep and profound and beautiful that can be used in all sorts of ways." Minevich shares the joy it brings him to see his whole class actively “engaged in learning together,” taking ownership of their growth as mathematicians. He says that teaching has become “a whole different experience” for him as he steps back and empowers his students to actively make meaning in the classroom.

“Spec Rep” Anthony Guerriero started out as a sales rep then transitioned into controls which now puts him in the pretty unique position of being able to talk to engineers, architects, interior designers, and lighting designers. In this episode, Anthony talks with Webster about the need for clear responsibilities and intent in lighting control projects, emphasizing the role of a specification sales representative in ensuring project success and customer satisfaction. Communication and collaboration with designers are key to addressing challenges and refining solutions. The ultimate goal is to enhance user satisfaction and adapt to their evolving needs over time. Anthony Guerriero is a Specification Sales Agent at Boston Light Source. About ten years ago, after graduating with his degree in electronic engineering from Wentworth Institute of Technology, he chose a more sales-oriented career path and lighting happened to be a great fit. Over the years, he's focused on both Lighting and controls separately but has shifted recently to focus on assisting specifiers from a more holistic perspective and stressing the importance of a solid handshake between Lighting and controls on a project.

I have always wanted to do something that has a lasting impact on the youth of this nation. Today I am doing what I am meant to do, using my gifts and talents. -Stacy A. Padula Young Adult and children's book author Stacy A. Padula has written 13 books and every one of them has risen to #1 either as a New Release or Best Seller on Amazon since 2010. One of the most fascinating parts of this story is that even though Stacy started planting the seeds of her series Montgomery Lake High in middle school, she also had her sights set on being an architect and an interior designer. In fact, she was a Presidential Scholar at the world-renowned Wentworth Institute of Technology. Armed with a degree and a job in her chosen field, Stacy worked for 2 years at an architecture firm but found herself restless and unfulfilled. Deep down inside, a little voice kept calling her toward something else…a lifelong love of writing and working with youth. In this interview, Stacy shares her devotion to her Christian faith as the conduit for all of her life choices, explaining that the best advice she ever received was to read the Bible and she has done that, cover to cover. Says Stacy: “Learning how to see God at work in my life strengthened my faith, gave me courage, and guided my path. I would not be where I am today if it were not for my personal relationship with God.” Today, this exceptional woman is an award-winning author, educator, and founder of a publishing company named after her beloved dachshunds, Briley & Baxter www.brileybaxterbooks.com. Her acclaimed young adult book series Montgomery Lake High and Gripped focus on realistic stories about high school and college including substance abuse, peer pressure and bullying. Stacy's characters explore getting past the hard times with faith and redemption.

In this episode of the Mass Construction Show I speak with Brian McPherson, Executive Director at YouthBuild Boston. Brian explains what YouthBuild Boston does, the many ways the community benefits from the program, where the program sources funding, and how an individual or organization can get involved. There are four programs at YouthBuild Boston: The Building Trades Exploration (BTE) Program begins with a three-week mental toughness training to help participants show up on time, be committed, maintain a drug-free lifestyle, and work on goal setting. The Pre-Apprentice (PA) Program is the flagship of their programming. The Designery is available to some high school students to teach architectural principles they need to go into the architectural career pattern so they can be prepared for admission and participation in design schools. The Facilities Maintenance Program is an 18-month long program with no age limit. Participants work Monday through Friday in the field and spend Saturdays taking classes at Wentworth Institute of Technology where they earn an associates degree. Brian has two rules that will serve anyone well: be where you're supposed to be, and be doing what you're supposed to be doing. Give a listen for an important story about why he left a GC to lead YouthBuild Boston. Then, when you're moved to act, contact him directly at Brian@YBBoston.org.

Over the past few weeks, there has been a debate surrounding Munger Hall, a dorm designed by billionaire Charles Munger to house over 4,000 students on the University of California, Santa Barbara’s campus.

“Designers must design the conditions that enable things to be created.” John Wagner and Nadyeli Quiroz, recent graduates of the Harvard Graduate School of Design, first became involved in the Kutupalong refugee camp as a part of an option studio led by prominent architect Anna Heringer. They continued their engagement in the camp even after their studio ended – marking the beginning of a research project that critically looks at spaces of migration as well as a practice that promotes a new kind of design advocacy. John David Wagner works at the convergence of public space, design, and human rights. He received an M.Arch, with Distinction, from Harvard Graduate School of Design, and was a 2020 Irving Innovation Fellow. John is currently an instructor at Wentworth Institute of Technology and a post-graduate fellow at Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute where his research focuses on the design and production of social spaces in refugee camps. Nadyeli Quiroz is an Architect and Landscape Architect with two master’s degrees from Harvard Graduate School of Design. Currently, she is a Research Affiliate at the Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute and the 2020 Landscape Architecture Foundation Olmsted Scholar. Her ongoing research studies urban form in its intersection to territorial ecologies on spaces of movement and displacement. She is also an adjunct professor at Wentworth Institute of Technology.

COVID-19 forced many industries to rethink their use of technology. Many of which you wouldn't automatically associate with tech. As teaching went from the classroom to remote learning, I wanted to learn more about how Citrix and its partners were working together to work beyond their traditional IT infrastructure and embrace new equipment that is transforming education. After learning more about how Citrix and Wacom were working together to ensure this transition was much easier, I felt compelled to share that story with you all.

An innovator in the education sector, Sarah’s work with Digital Ready seeks to break down systemic barriers that historically have prevented many from achieving social mobility and access from high paying jobs in Boston and ultimately rethink K-12 education. As a former teacher, district administrator, and social entrepreneur, Sarah brings innovative thinking of urban public school districts. Before working with Digital Ready, she worked at IDEO to launch an initiative to help public school districts build cultures of creativity and innovation, where teachers and students are empowered to create change.

With pretty much every design student in the world learning remotely, it’s a good moment to talk about the state of design education at the college and university level. To train a well-rounded designer, the number of things students need to learn increases every year, but the amount of time in class stays the same. How do professors and administrators plan to teach the next generation of designers to enter an ever-changing industry and world? And then, how can design be taught remotely? We speak with Derek Cascio, newly appointed Chair of the Industrial Design department at Wentworth Institute of Technology; and Jason Schupbach, Director of the Design School at Arizona State University. Derek and Jason agree the future of design education is flexibility. Design has the proverbial “seat at the table,” so, in Jason’s words, “We must prepare students to be in that room.” Plus, our Weekly Dose of Good Design.For links to resources we discuss on this episode, visit our show page:https://designmuseumfoundation.org/004-the-future-of-design-education/

Introduction: Today we are lucky enough to have with us none other than Michael Santora, a man who in every sense of the word is truly on a mission to make a difference for his clients, the skylines and infrastructures of cities globally, and for those not as fortunate. In my professional dealings with Michael, I have found him to be the Winston Wolf of architecture, design, due diligence, code consulting and expediting resolution. Yes, like the character portrayed by Harvey Keitel in the classic film Pulp Fiction, Michael solves problems! Given that the historical tradition of a crown, among other things, embodies that of knowledge, power, triumph, honor and wealth, the mantra of the firm he co-founded, namely Crown Architecture and Consulting, is that of ensuring that their designs and efforts will simultaneously maximize the potential of their client’s property and budget, while also making a difference for the private and public sectors.     Episode Notes: At 3:16, Michael Santora stresses the importance of reading comprehension in his business. At 4:28, he discusses taking pride in your work and having a full understanding of your final product, because at the end of the day your name is attached. At 5:05, Michael talks about work ethic. At 5:57, he touches upon setting goals and to some, money being freedom as well as a measure of success. At 7:27, Michael notes that good service comes with upfront reality - being blunt and not creating a sense of false hope, while simultaneously being optimistic. At 9:05, he points out that Crown Architecture and Consulting likes to be different with the subtle things, and that Crown is always evolving based on the feedback it receives. Michael describes how he and Crown are different, given that they, like others, swim in the same direction as everyone else, but often zig-zag quite a bit up stream. At 10:18, Michael shares that “It’s hard to argue with logic and reason.” At 11:53, he advises, “I want to profitable off of the intelligent decisions I make and the value I create.” At 12:55, Michael discusses change in the real estate industry, more specifically retail and last mile industrial. At 13:51, he talks about building with flexibility in design, so buildings can evolve with changing times. At 14:11, Michael informs us of Crown’s partnership with Scott Brownrigg out of London, and Smart Shed, a new type of distribution center concept. At 16:06, he shares winning the World Architecture Foundation award for his firm’s concept of redesigning the Park Avenue medians. At 18:27, Michael explains his love for the challenge of making something profitable, and growing a “business.” At 21:16, he discusses having integrity in design and construction. Building bigger, better and more efficient! At 23:53, Michael shares his involvement in the ACE program, mentoring, and sitting on the board at Wentworth Institute of Technology. At 26:01, he takes us back to his first job in real estate, working as a project manager for a design-build firm. At 30:05, he talks about the topic of failure and his failure to successfully pitch Platform Media to MTA at 22 years old. At 33:09, Michael dives into his passion for large scale infrastructure projects. At 38:10, Michael Santora closes it out with the message of pursuing your dreams.

https://entrearchitect.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ScreenShot2018-03-15at3.01.46PM.png ()The Girl UNinterrupted Project with Juliet Chun & Zhanina Boyadzhieva These two young, emerging architects have decided to take the lead in the profession and build a powerful resource that informs and empowers other emerging professionals. Hear what can happen when two women refuse to allow anything to block their way to success. This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, The Girl UNinterrupted Project with Juliet Chun & Zhanina Boyadzhieva. Background With a B.S. and M.Arch from Northeastern University, Juliet, Associate AIA, joined Leers Weinzapfel Associates in 2008 and has worked on a diversity of projects such as Ohio State University East Regional Chilled Water Plant and the UMass Design Building. She has taught at the Boston Architectural College as a studio instructor and thesis advisor and has been a guest critic for various institutions including Wentworth Institute of Technology, Mass Art College of Art and Design, and Pratt University. Originally from Bulgaria, Zhanina, Associate AIA, received her MArch from Harvard GSD and a BA from Mount Holyoke College. She joined Leers Weinzapfel Associates in 2014 and has worked on variety of academic and infrastructure projects: Condorcet Campus Competition, UMass Design Building and currently Harvard Allston Energy Facility Plant. Zhanina is an active member of WID and Culture NOW. She has taught at Boston Architectural College and has been a guest critic at Harvard GSD, Northeastern, Wentworth, Mount Holyoke College and Kuwait University. Zhanina is an avid world traveler and an occasional writer with work published at TEDx Bulgaria, Metropolis Magazine, Oculus, Dnevnik, Ureport and SciencexArt. Together, they are the cofounders of https://www.girluninterruptedproject.com (The Girl UNInterrupted Project) which seeks to bridge the gap between young female designers and leaders in the architectural field. Juliet’s Origin Story Juliet didn’t know she wanted to be an architect until she was in college. She grew up in Tampa and attended Northeastern because of her love for the city of Boston. At the end of her freshman year, her advisor encouraged her to pick a major. She decided on architecture and loved everything about her experience through school. Northeastern does a coop program, so Juliet had the opportunity to do a coop with Leers Weinzapfel Associates. There she was able to get her foot in the door to return full time after graduation. Zhanina’s Origin Story Zhanina was always interested in the arts and tended to be good at math, systems and organizations. In Bulgaria, when applying for college, you tend to know what you want to study right away because of the technical nature of the programs. She was always searching for a school with a big population of international students and an architecture program. She also works at Leers Weinzapfel Associates, where she connected with Juliet. Where did the name “Girl UNinterrupted” come from? The name comes from the unique environments that haven’t interrupted them. Both Juliet and Zhanina have been lucky to be in places that allow them to grow. How did https://www.girluninterruptedproject.com (The Girl UNInterrupted Project) start? Both Juliet and Zhanina work at Leers Weinzapfel Associates Architects, a firm that was started in the 1980s by Andrea Leers and Jane Weinzapfel. Last year, Andrea and Jane were nominated for an award that brought them to London for the ceremony and, when they returned, they brought a copy of the Architecture Review Magazine that focused all about the history of women in architecture. On Women’s Day, they had an office-wide lunch to discuss any general observations about equity of the architecture field. Juliet and Zhanina were quite shocked to see the statistics due to the incredible support that they’ve always felt at...

(http://www.advanceyourart.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/samaquillano_1302790971_56.jpg) Sam Aquillano is an Industrial Designer and Founder of The Design Museum Foundation. “My advice to any entrepreneur is to get a co-founder and open up to your friends and family about what you’re about to do.” – Sam AquillanoWhat does it take to launch a museum from scratch? If you’re like me you believe that you need to find a cool building in a great location and get a bunch of donors. That’s what Sam Aquillano and his business partner Derek Casio thought at first but when they looked closer and that model they decided to pivot and think differently. Using their expertise in creating events and looking at the business models of New York City pop-up shops they focused on a new concept for a museum and launched the Design Museum Foundation. MEET SAM: Sam Aquillano is Founder and Executive Director of Design Museum Foundation, a national network of local design museums. What started as Design Museum Boston, now includes Design Museum Portland in Oregon, and is growing across the country. Their mission is to educate the world about the importance of design in our lives. Design is everywhere, so the museum has no permanent address — instead, Sam and his team turn the museum inside out and turn entire cities into locally-focused, nomadic design museums. Sam earned a BFA in Industrial Design from Rochester Institute of Technology and went on to design consumer electronics at Bose Corporation, as well as to teach design at Wentworth Institute of Technology, MassArt, and Babson College — where he recently earned his MBA. With a passion for design, creativity, and learning, Sam creates a long-term vision for the museum. He leads a dedicated team while managing key programs and strategic operations. In 2013 Sam and his team were named one of BostInno’s 50 on Fire. Sam routinely speaks at conferences, keynotes, and workshops about design, entrepreneurship, innovation, branding, placemaking, and business strategy. Recent speaking engagements include IBM SmartCamp, Future M, TEDxBoston, TEDxFenway, Portland Monthly’s Bright Lights, MIT Hacking Arts, and Harvard iLab. What is Design Museum Boston? We’re a new kind of museum focused on educating the world about design. We’re based in Boston, but we don’t have our own gallery space. We’re a distributed museum with exhibits & events all over town. What is a nomadic museum? We turn the museum inside out, turning the entire city into the museum. We put exhibitions and events in places where people already go: retail space, public space—even outside. What will I learn at Design Museum Boston? From architecture to video game design, furniture to fashion, products to graphics, design is more than an industry: it’s a process and way of thinking that solves complex problems. Do I need to be a designer to visit the museum? Absolutely not! Design is for everyone! We offer the most accessible, inclusive way to engage with design and designers. Our exhibitions and events are open to all.

A mentoring program at Wentworth Institute of Technology is pairing veteran faculty members with new professors.

Engaging the Asian City: Alternative Approaches to Urban Theory, Pedagogy, and Practice A Half-Day Symposium at the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy Engaging the Asian City: Robert Cowherd - Associate Professor of Architecture, Wentworth Institute of Technolo Bringing together contributors of the recent 24-chapter volume The Emerging Asian City: Concomitant Urbanities & Urbanisms (Routledge 2012), and building upon Price School graduate student work from the India and Japan studios, this half-day symposium will spark a dialogue on how Asian cities are being shaped by different social, political and cultural phenomena compared to European and American ones, and why we should choose to read and ultimately engage with them differently. Many Asian cities are going through the same problems as Western ones: the debacles of single use zoning, FAR regulations, bureaucratic planning, urban disinvestment, sprawl, autopian dominance, etc. However, different governance structures, ambiguous administration and reinforcement, rapid population explosions, massive rural to urban migrations, extreme economic polarizations, large informal economies, the dominance of religion, the ambitions of a rising middle-class, the continuing perceived superiority of the West, all raise perplexing questions on how to intervene with what are essentially very different expectations of urban life in the first place. How Asian cities are manifesting the choices and decisions about their past and present, who in fact is making these choices, in turn for whom, and how they are being implemented, are crucial pointers to how we need to initiate alternative approaches to their deep histories, complex presents and ambitious futures. This discussion will seek to push the definitions of urban theory, pedagogy and practice beyond conventional and ordained readings - not as confident proposals for what a city ought to be, but careful engagements with existing and inherent mechanisms towards strategic change.
