Prof. Steven A. Gedeon reveals the “Success Secrets of the Motivational
Superstars”. This presentation will show you the success habits of the Motivational
Superstars and teach you how to achieve high performance in your professional and
personal life by helping you understand and integrate your aptitudes, aspirations, and core
values to transform your dreams into concrete, reality-based goals.
Prof. Steven A. Gedeon, PhD (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), MBA (University
of Toronto), PEng is a professor in the Entrepreneurship & Strategy Department at the
Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University. He is a serial entrepreneur and
venture capitalist who has founded or led over a dozen private, public, venture capital and
non-profit organizations; published over 100 articles, reports and patents; and delivered
over 40 public speaking engagements and on-line videos on personal leadership,
motivation, negotiation, entrepreneurship and teaching.
One fine day I asked a friend of mine an extremely simple question, “Which part of your life was the learning phase?” I was not surprised by the answer. “In school, of course”, he replied, with nonchalance. My friend was like many others who experienced considerable growth during their days at school. However, once their formal education came to an end, so did their curiosity to learn, ability of questioning, the intrigue that often leads to growth and development.
Just as a building needs a sturdy foundation to support the structure, you need a solid foundation to support your life.
Personal foundations will naturally vary depending on your circumstances. But they will always include core values, beliefs and highest life priorities supported by standards and behaviors that keep you strong, focused and effective.
At Packback...we're curious about curiosity.
You might know us as that “cheap eTextbook startup”. Or maybe “those guys that went on Shark Tank”.
We started our business as college students about 3 years ago. As students, the cost of textbooks felt like the BIGGEST issue in education. And don’t get us wrong…textbook prices are a HUGE problem, (like a 7 Billion dollar a year problem in the USA alone). But over years of building this startup, we’ve gotten a glimpse at the bigger picture.
We realized that the key to "fixing education", is not some massive overhaul of the system. It's not just making things cheaper.
The real problem to solve is bringing curiosity back into the classroom and empowering students to ask the BIG questions.
Somewhere along the way, the real "Why" behind education has gotten lost. We've become focused on helping more students graduate, rather than creating more thoughtful minds. We've become focused on helping more students get "A's" in class, rather than curiosity and empowering our students to ask "Why?"
Packback's Brand Purpose is to awaken the fearless, relentless curiosity in every student. Not just college students, not just on campus, not just in the US. We want to be the home for curiosity on the web for every lifelong learner.
This presentation contains our brand purpose, our manifesto and the 13 operating values we use to coach, make decisions and give feedback at Packback. Our goal in defining our culture was to make the roadmap to success as a company, and as an individual team member, as explicit and unambiguous as possible.
Our brand purpose is our ultimate filter for all business decisions at Packback. Our values are our team operating system. If we are living our purpose and our values, we know that we are heading together in the right direction.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
