In this episode of Inside the Network, we sit down with Dug Song, the legendary co-founder and former CEO of Duo Security. Dug's journey is nothing short of iconic—he turned a side project into a cybersecurity powerhouse with over 50,000 customers and a $2.35 billion exit to Cisco. In a world obsessed with unicorn status and funding hype, Dug stands out as a founder who stayed grounded in values, culture, and customer empathy.We explore Dug's early years—from doing data entry in his father's liquor store in West Baltimore to cutting his teeth at Arbor Networks, leaving security, and coming back to change how security is delivered. Dug was also part of the hacker collective w00w00, alongside future tech luminaries like Jan Koum (WhatsApp) and Shawn Fanning (Napster), where he honed the ethos of solving hard problems and building in community. These experiences laid the foundation for Duo, which Dug and co-founder Jon Oberheide started not with a grand business plan but a desire to democratize security and make strong authentication simple and usable for all organizations—not just the Fortune 500.This conversation is packed with actionable lessons for founders: how to build a billion-dollar business with capital efficiency and discipline; how to prioritize user experience in security, not just infrastructure; and how to lead with integrity and build a “learning organization” that continuously improves across every function—engineering, sales, marketing, and customer success. Dug also gives an inside look at the decision to sell Duo to Cisco versus going public and what that choice meant for the company, team, and customers.We then dive into Dug's post-Duo chapter, where he and his wife Linh are reshaping philanthropy and backing the next generation of founders in Michigan, Detroit, and beyond. From punk rock to planetary-scale startups, Dug brings a rare mix of grit, humility, and wisdom, making this episode a must-listen for any entrepreneur.

His dedication to involving students in the artistic process not only cultivates their creativity but also instills a sense of agency and responsibility for their environment.The episode captures the essence of Mather's philosophy: art is not merely an aesthetic endeavor but a powerful tool for social change. Mather recounts the impactful project in West Baltimore, where he worked with local youth to design and install an environmental sculpture in a park that had long been neglected. This initiative not only beautified the area but also engaged the community in a dialogue about safety, ownership, and the importance of reclaiming shared spaces. Mather's insights into the dynamics of teaching and collaboration highlight the necessity of recognizing and valuing each participant's unique contributions, which ultimately enriches the artistic outcome.Furthermore, the discussion delves into the challenges and rewards of community-based art practices, particularly in relation to trust-building and navigating complex social landscapes.

His experiences with Alternate Roots showcase the power of grassroots movements in advocating for social and economic justice through art. As the episode unfolds, it becomes evident that Mather's work embodies a vision of art as a communal endeavor—one that celebrates diversity, fosters connection, and cultivates a shared sense of purpose in navigating the challenges of our times.Key Moments00:18 The Turning Point: Reflections on Change and Future Challenges00:35 Reflections on Creative Change Agents13:59 Alternate ROOTS and Community Engagement22:55 The Impact of Community Engagement in Public Art31:14 Engaging with Community Through Art40:03 The Impact of Art and CommunityBIOJeff is a community-based public artist and teaching artist in Georgia, (and South Carolina and Massachusetts and Utah), for over 30 years.

Rencontre animée par Juliette Cerf Interprète : Marguerite Capelle Dans cette lettre adressée à son fils de 15 ans, Ta-Nehisi Coates évoque la condition des Noirs aux États-Unis afin de le préparer au monde dans lequel il vit. Il décrit la violence raciste à laquelle il a été confronté tout en revenant sur le parcours qui lui a permis de prendre conscience de sa place dans la société – de son enfance dans le West Baltimore à l'université Howard, du South Side de Chicago à Paris. Et déboulonne l'idée de « race » ancrée dans la culture américaine, mensonge qui gangrène le corps des noirs, autrefois victimes de l'esclavage et de la ségrégation, aujourd'hui menacés, enfermés, détruits au moindre prétexte. Partageant les préoccupations intimes d'un père pour son fils, Ta-Nehisi Coates s'interroge sur ce que c'est que d'habiter un corps noir, comment vivre dans ce corps et se libérer du fardeau de l'histoire. Tissé de récits personnels, Entre le monde et moi jette une lumière crue sur la société américaine et sur ses crises actuelles. À l'occasion de cette nouvelle traduction précédée d'un avant-propos inédit, nous sommes heureux de redonner la parole à Ta-Nehisi Coates pour cet ouvrage essentiel devenu un classique contemporain. « C'est la nuit sans fin. Et cette nuit a occupé la plus grande part de notre histoire. » Ta-Nehisi Coates, Lettre à mon fils. À lire – Ta-Nehisi Coates, Entre le monde et moi. Lettre à mon fils, trad. de l'anglais (États-Unis), éd. Autrement, 2024.

Quentin Vennie didn't have the typical upbringing of a successful wellness CPG entrepreneur. He grew up in West Baltimore, was the victim of gun violence before age 12, and overcame addiction and numerous suicide attempts before a life-changing moment when the wellness world ‘found him.' These days, The Equitea Co. co-founder is on a mission to destigmatize mental health — one sip at a time. In this heart-filled episode, Quentin shares how he overcame being ‘othered' to carve out spaces for himself where people like him were nowhere to be found. Quentin teaches us how anyone can use gratitude, tap into their ‘why,' and trust a higher power to get where they want to go — even in the toughest of circumstances.Quentin's story of growing up in the inner city of West BaltimoreThe rock-bottom moment that forced Quentin to put his trust in a higher powerThe permission you need to try something different (PREACH, Quentin!)How to use gratitude to change your life — without the toxic positivityThe soul ping that led Quentin to found The Equitea Co.How to leverage failure to propel you forward in businessThe top lessons Quentin has learned as a first-time CPG entrepreneurWhy you need to know your why — and how to find it Hosted on Acast.

How does the brain communicate with the rest of the body? One critically important way for that communication to happen is via the spinal cord, a really complex bundle of nerve cells and fibers, embedded in a canal that is protected by our spinal columns. The spinal cord makes it possible for information to flow from the brain to the rest of the body and for information from the body to flow up the brain. September is Spinal Cord Awareness Month and we are pleased to be discussing this important topic. Dr. Brad Schlaggar, CEO and President of Kennedy Krieger is joined with two of his colleagues. Dr. Cristina Sadowsky, a physiatrist, is the clinical director for the International Center for Spinal Cord Injury at Kennedy Krieger.  She is also an Associate Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Rebecca Martin, an occupational therapist, is the Manager of Clinical Education and Training at the International Center for Spinal Cord Injury at Kennedy Krieger. She is an assistant professor at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. He is also joined today by a good friend and special guest. Van Brooks. Van is the founder and Executive Director of the Safe Alternative Foundation for Education.  SAFE, for short, is a non-profit organization in West Baltimore that believes that all students should have access to a quality education and the resources and opportunities that will assist them in achieving their goals. SAFE provides afterschool, weekend, and summer learning educational opportunities through vocational programs that provide real world application as well as exposing students to the world outside of their community. Van was one of the very first patients in our International Center for Spinal Cord Injury, 18 years ago. In addition, he is a member of Kennedy Krieger Institute's Board of Directors.

Hey Friends & Kin!   FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   Friends and Kin this conversation is all about something that we ALL deal with from time to time. It affects us all on different levels but we have definitely ALL dealt with it at some point in our lives. SELF SABOTAGE!!! We must address the tendency to sabotage our success in order to show up in the world as OUR BEST VERSION OF OURSELVES.    I dive into exactly what self-sabotage is and the different ways it can show up in our lives. I also talk about how to identify and attack it when we notice it's happening. I offer a few options on how to fight back when it shows up. It starts with really getting into WHAT YOU REALLY DESIRE FOR YOURSELF. So go listen in and start to process for YOURSELF what you need to do to create an environment where you are ready to fight against self-sabotage when it rears it's ugly head. YOU DESERVE ALL THE GOOD THINGS, MY DARLING... YOU DESERVE.   The We Got To Do Better segment graced us with a quote from our Divine Auntie, Josephine Baker. She said, “You are on the eve of a complete victory. You can't go wrong. The world is behind you.” & I am going to turn this into a mantra that I recite every morning in the shower.

I don't know if I've ever read a book quite like John Blake's "More than I Imagine."The subtitle is: "What a Black Man Discovered About the White Mother He Never Knew"John is a senior writer at CNN. In this conversation, John and I talk about:his very difficult childhood growing up in West Baltimore in the 60's and 70'show he grew up disliking white people even though his mother was white, in part because he was told after his mom disappeared that her family disliked black peoplehow meeting his mother at age 17 for the first time began to broaden his understanding of racial differencehis view that facts don't change people, relationships dothe point that an emphasis on relationships does not mean policy changes aren't necessary, or that everything can be fixed through relationships or interpersonal kindnesshis wild ghost storyhis roller coaster faith journey, and how interracial churches were the demonstration of faith's reality he needed to believe in Christianityhow there was a "golden age" of racial integration in America's schools from the early 70's to the late 80's, but how America believed a lie that it wasn't working and how we have now resegregated to 1968 levels, much of that due to our own choiceshow he believes racial integration is crucial to how our country grows stronger, and how our pulling apart and into racial segregation is causing many of our problemsThis book is a great, great read. John is a great writer, and his story is incredibly personal and well told. It's riveting.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
