"At the same time, it's what keeps me motivated and inspired and keeps my spirits high in the lowest moments is the people who have helped with the people who use me as a reference or call me when something has shattered their world, but for me it's something I've done ten, 15, 20 times, and you can easily walk them through how to navigate it. Do you feel satisfied creatively? In my current role, yes, but I think I haven't been for a little bit of time. I've been directed now for three years. I was a director at a small company, and then I was in management, but not a director at booking. And looking I was extremely, extremely happy, and then the recession hit, and that was ultimately why everything kind of fell apart. And I left. And I was looking for about a year and a half, almost two years for another place where I could see myself being home and definitely is that. But the director role is less about designing mock ups. It's more about designing career paths, designing culture, designing product marketing and employer brand. I'm building the team I wish I was on. I am building the kind of company culture onboarding practices, promotion processes that I wish I had in my career. And then I'm also building myself up to hopefully be an inspiring speaker and leader and even better teacher and I look up to people like us on the St. John, who was the former CMO of Netflix in that kind of realm, always looking to share more knowledge, invite more people into the room at a seat at the table and just constantly kind of question the norms we see. I would say you'd make a great public speaker. Have you been looking into doing some more of that? Yes, every chance I can get. Okay. Where do you see yourself like in the next, let's say like 5 years or so. What do you want the next chapter of the Kevin Hawkins story to look like? This has gotten a trickier ever since ever since I moved to Europe because I think the answer used to always be some version of fame or being CXO, chief experience officer at a fang or a really notable household name globally, but now it really has to do about being like I'd rather be really, really important at a small company for people who really need our services than to be just another person in a role at a very large company with customers who don't really feel any passion towards our product. And just to sort of wrap things up here, where can our audience find out more information about you about your work and everything, where can they find that online? Yeah, so I'm most active for work things on Twitter, which is at Kevin Hawkins, D.C., and then on Instagram, Kevin Hawkins design, same thing on LinkedIn, Kevin Hawkins design. I'm often posting about what we're doing, public events, I do quite a bit of public speaking both in the U.S. and in Europe. So I have several talks coming up this fall. But I'm mostly sharing work related things, things tied to my business and how I'm developing myself and my team on Twitter and LinkedIn. All right, sounds good. Well, Kevin Hawkins, I want to thank you so much for coming on the show.

"Yeah. So you ended up working in Amsterdam, you were working at booking dot com and then now you're here in Barcelona working at glovo. I'm just curious, I mean, this is from the dumb American perspective, so forgive me here, but is it easy moving between countries like that in Europe? No. Oh, okay. Okay. I really wish it was simpler. Honestly, the visas don't transfer between countries. So we were just talking about the whole degree thing. And I won't talk too badly about my new home country. But I had a high qualified migrant Visa. And the Netherlands worked in tech and they wanted more tech workers and they made good money and I had lots of job opportunities and revenue by having a high funded, well run company, be headquartered in your country. But that same Visa wouldn't transfer to Spain. So I had to re qualify, do background checks and America and in the Netherlands do fingerprinting do a degree certificate all these things all over again. If I hadn't just lived four years in the Netherlands and bought a house. I was considered myself European at that point, but that's not how it works. Wow. And you've been now in Barcelona said for about 6 months? Yeah, about 6 months. What is the design scene like there? Like have you sought it out? Or have you found it there? So there probably around like 20 500 startups, globo is definitely in that top group of the biggest where a unicorn, but the design scene isn't as large. Of course, as a London, which is massive, or as an Amsterdam, which is definitely a tech hub. But it's very warm. I would say the UX community in Barcelona has big players like HP and Amazon who are directly our neighbors as global. We're in a neighborhood called Pope Lana now, which is the tech hub. But then you also just have to factor in the culture. There's a lot of illustration and animation in the UX and design community with ten Barcelona just because of the culture. So rich in architecture and detail and craft to the community is very warm because the city is very warm and people are generally happier in my opinion and they have beach meetups and there's a thriving tech scene that's definitely growing. And it's really fun to be there right at the moment where it's blossoming. It's definitely going to surpass in my opinion some of the bigger cities. The only key difference is that pay in the south is lower than in Northern Europe, which is models very similarly to pay in south of the U.S. versus New York, for example. Interesting. How would you compare the design community to say the one like in Amsterdam or in D.C.? Was that was that something that you thought about as you went to these different places? Yeah, certainly. I think that I always think about

"And I don't know if a lot of them have them, but the ones that I worked in always had a clause that you had to disclose. Anything else that you were doing outside of work that might, I don't know if it might conflict or whatever, but they just wanted to know that like, well, what else are you working on that's not the 9 to 5 job? And sometimes I would answer and sometimes I wouldn't because it's really none of their business because none of the places I worked for had any sort of relation to what I was doing, which was this podcast. But I find it interesting now that companies are like, yeah, what else are you doing to try to, I guess, I don't know, capitalize on your time. I know there's this whole thing now about quiet quitting and I hate that. That's so bad 'cause it's really just about setting boundaries at work. It's not whatever, I don't know, 19th century industrial revolution thing you might be thinking about with quiet quitting. I just hear that. I hate that term. It does hurt me. Honestly, it's like, okay, either it's disengagement or it's just the phase before someone gets fed up. But it's not disingenuous to be tired of bad conditions or being undervalued or underpaid or outgrowing opportunity. If you feel like life is taking you to different directions and your current employer, there is always going to be the phase before you quit. And that isn't called quiet quitting in my opinion. And that's just called really assessing your worth, your value, and your future. Part of me feels like, I might get in trouble by saying this. Part of me feels like that the media is a little bit complicit in this because I really am only hearing this from Business Insider, Wall Street Journal, stuff like that that are talking about quiet quitting. But I feel like it's also a retaliation to a lot of workers at least here in the states. Now realizing the power that they have with unionizing. And so they're cutting down on this whole quiet quitting thing because, I mean, at least in some of the places I worked that quiet quitting. I'm using air quotes here. Were the seeds to start unionizing. That was the fertile ground for people to start thinking about, how can we campaign for having better work conditions? Et cetera and they talk to a union rep and now we got a union. I worked at glitch and we unionized shortly before they laid most of us off, but we did at least have that happen. And I want to say that the fertile ground for that was a lot of people just being sort of fed up with how certain conditions were. Yeah, and honestly, businesses will always have, let's say, a fiduciary interest in not wanting people to unionize because it's easier to manipulate and get what you want as a

"At that time because you were sort of contracting from place to place, like talk to me about who that Kevin Hawkins was, like, who was he? What was he thinking? What was he trying to accomplish back then? I never intended to go to any of these companies and leave. I think that's one of the things that millennials get blamed for the whole job hopping, fat. I ultimately always wanted to stay. But I just had a lot of, let's say, self worth from my mom. And the way she raised me and whenever I dealt with workplace discrimination, ageism, racism, any of these things in the workplace. I always said it would be better for myself in my career for me to be happy at work than to I'd never saw going through discrimination and oppression as earning my dues. So I found new places or I worked on startups or I made enough money making websites for people to give me a month or two to find a new job. That's a powerful statement there. And I think it's something that you know, I don't know, it's interesting when you think about people in their early careers because that whole kind of pay your dues sort of bit. I get that. Look, I got a black mama too. She certainly was like, sometimes there's, you know, things that you have to do, that you don't want to do to get where you have to be. And I understand that to a fault. I get that there may be some things where like you just have to learn it, like this is how you learn it. But if it's like you've said, what you're putting up with these, you know, like pervasive isms at work, racism, sexism, et cetera. Like, why stay? You're not winning any awards by saying, you know what I mean? No, exactly. And it wasn't always that wasn't always the reason why I left sometimes in new opportunities come sometimes and sort of stagnate or you stop learning. I always say either you're there to learn or to earn and sometimes there's other motivations like a passion or a mission that aligns with you. But when you're not learning, when you realize the industry is getting bigger, it's getting very profitable, the work is extremely valuable. It's being tied to massive growth and revenue. You also want to start earning more. And because I came in without a degree, I was originally second guessing myself. So my whole tactic was, I'm always more valuable in the interview phase than I am two years into a company. So if I want to make up for the money that I'm not earning by not having that degree, it makes more sense for me to take opportunities when people present them to me than to kind of trudge through the interview process and promotion panels with people who have been working with for two and a half three years. Okay, you just raise something interesting there. I want to touch on. So you did go to the audience dude. You got an associate's degree, right? Yeah. So even though you had that, like, degree from an institution that someone could look at and say, oh, you must be a designer. That's still not sort of help you throughout your career, like to have that as sort of a almost want to say like a status symbol of sorts. No, honestly, it wasn't looked at the same length, our institute doesn't have the prestige of a corcoran or a scat or a risd, in addition, I got it in web design, and I was doing a lot of user experience information architecture, HCI work. So they didn't see it as directly relevant.

"Future Sinai and John Hawkins, and we have over 10,000 nurses joining our platform every single week. And that industry average of 82 days, which you've shortened to 14 days, how does 82 days that average now compared to what we've seen in the past? I guess what I'm asking is, did the pandemic exacerbate that? Has that average grown longer? The pandemic has definitely exacerbated that number so that average house gotten longer because we are continuing to face a very severe labor shortage in nursing and as well as other healthcare professions. And then the other key number that pandemic has impacted this turnover, the average turnover for nurses in the U.S. was about 17% before the pandemic has now on average 21 and a half percent. Well, tell us a little bit about I was talking to somebody within the nursing community and just said, COVID, monkeypox, you name it, women, individuals, men, people who are in the nursing field have just kind of had it. Have we lost or how many have we lost from this field So we are increasingly losing nurses from this field. So our third annual data report from earlier this year showed that one third of nurses are considering leaving the profession permanently by the end of 2022. And so this is a workforce that has been negatively impacted in some cases, you know, decimated by the pandemic. They are being overworked and experiencing extreme fatigue and stress and burnout at the moment. And how do you, how do you address retention then burnout is such a big issue? So a couple of key ways first are the employers using our platform, enjoy a 15% increase in their baseline retention rates because the nurse was able to consider multiple opportunities for selecting that specific employer. But we also in our surveys and our data shows that the top reasons why nurses are changing jobs is by far the number one is career advancement. They're looking for more career advancement. They want to grow their skills, move into leadership, cross train. Become more specialized. And so the hospitals and health systems that are investing in career advancement for nurses are enjoying better retention rates. A big thanks to doctor Iman abuse, CEO and cofounder at incredible health. Katie taking part there as well. By the way, she did mention to us that the company's ultimate goal is to go public, we're certainly hoping to hear more from them down the line.

"Like to just quickly get back to this inflation issue because I heard some policy ideals that came out of Joe Biden last night, but none of them fortunately, I hope. Do not have a chance of becoming a reality. You look at what's going on right now in the stock market. And of course, people are trying to digest all of this news. It's coming to us out of Europe, you've got Powell that spoke the Humphrey Hawkins testimony. They're on Capitol Hill and Paul's indicating you know what we're going forward with this. We're going to raise rates this month. I think you've got to under the circumstances with all this massive inflation. There's a chance that maybe he doesn't follow through with as big a rate cut or as many rate hike. Hike, I should say hike. Paul and Joe Biden there were as many rate hikes as anticipated, but we'll see. We'll see how this all shakes out. I do think it's time. I mean, it was time a year ago for Paolo to do something. So this to me is a positive positive element in terms of gas prices though and what their effect on the economy will be. They're going to be significant. I actually went to fill up my gas pump. I drive one of those really offensive gas guzzling SUVs. You're not supposed to have, but I've got one. I've got one, and I filled up the tank and it was over $4 a gallon, and I noticed that. I was talking to the guy and we were chatting about it and he's like, yeah, and this is despite the SPR, but you know, the SBR. That's gonna last you no time at all. I'm sorry, you can release all those strategic reserves, which by the way, Donald Trump bought a really low price. Joe Biden and company were accusing him of just trying to prop up the energy industry at the time. But it was pretty smart to buy it right when it was $10 a gallon, as opposed to a $110 a gallon, which is where we're heading. In fact, I would argue it would probably be one 30 a gallon, possibly one 50 a gown in the relative near future, which could translate into, I don't know, $9, a gallon that the gas pump, it's not inconceivable to see gas prices more than double from where they are right now.

J's don't make hardly any money so the idea that adam brennaman was bankrolling some of this seemed implausible if not downright laughable And then the two other assistants who are also starting out their careers as you mentioned.

What Are the Quirks That Come With Being a Developer
"Let's start with you telling us about your coding journey. Where they're all begin for you. I i started getting into coating during college. I started out as a psychology major and was pretty intent on finishing up. Undergrad getting a master's degree and being a counselor About couple years into it. I realized i liked the more hard science a lot. Better than sort of the sop science and social science part of it. And i had taken a statistics class. Like just a psychology stats. Class really looked to that. So i got into statistics and changed my major to that and at that point i had to take a bunch of like stats computing type glasses. So for instance statisticians tend to use programming languages like our or sass or even just like sql database management. And so that was really my first introduction to programming at that point. Like i realized if i to look at the t. between statistics and computer science actually like program a lot more than i liked the stats part of it. Nah i landed up graduating with degrees statistics. During that time. I just did a ton of learning on my own. Did a lot of like could academy courses recode cam fluoro- site videos whole time. Packer rank exercises. I even read through twenty programming textbooks now on just java script html and just building stuff just trying to make little side project snack things together. And after i graduated from college. I landed my first programming job. So what was it about that stats class. And then getting into programming. That resonated with you so is taking ard says stats programming. Which are and it was really amazing. Nina we could like run simulations and experiments just for typing a few lines of co dried. We could run simulations of very simple things like let's flip the coin hundred times and see how many times it lands heads or tails or even just like data visualization like we have data set and using just a few lines of code. You could use like a stats package like something like g plot to create this beautiful chart. That was really cool that you could like essentially build something out of basically nothing

"Welcome back. I'm talking the dawn. Hawkins ceo of national center sexual exploitation don. This is such a dark subject. You and the national center sexual exploitation. Give people hope that somebody is doing something. And i as i said earlier. I want to know how we and my listeners viewers can help. What can people do. I mean parents and grandparents right now as they hear something like this. what can they do. Besides go to the center to the centers website. Things are asking that as hard and dark as says there is so much hope. And there's so much good happening. So in addition to helping us says advocates hold these corporations accountable or going with us to congress asking them to pass helpful legislation. There's so much you can do at home and for the families around you. So i say one of the most important pieces of advice i can give you an. I'm a mom of four. And so i'm living this advice myself too but be where your kids are online. Sometimes i just want to be like i'm done online. I want to close my computer and be done. But i need to be present where my kids are. And that's that's so important to understand the the experiences that they're having there's also some really great resources. There's filters lot. All of our devices have built in parental controls. They're not perfect but turning those on we'll make such a big difference. In fact we just got a law passed in utah that says all smartphones and tablets if if turned on in the state of utah have to be the by default. The safety pieces have to be on. If you're underage and we're looking to pass that in other states as well so you could join with us having regular and frequent conversations your young people in your life about these issues and we might feel nervous and embarrassed to talk about it but they don't. They're hungry to talk about these issues so talking about it regularly with them is so key. the. I wanna go back to the dirty dozen list. You mention different mainstream tech companies. Maybe it's not just tech. Companies is it just accompanies companies or is it other kinds of companies focused mostly on tech because of covid everyone went virtual. But what company. I mean give me an example of a non tech company that would there'd be an issue on this. Let me tell you this. When united was on the dirty dozen list last year because airline night at airlines because sexual assaults were rampant on their among customers and flight attendants why they had bad policies for sexual harassment as well as they allowed cl- customers to watch pornography during lights when united. Whoa yeah united airlines allowed customers to watch pornography on flights when you're sitting point two inches are child's ripe from people next to you and children united now why so the other airlines have different policies. It's kind yet. They all now say that they don't allow it but they have. They are not good at training. Their flight attendant. So we're working with the airline industry to better trainer-fighters because increasingly this is a common thing. The important thing to know is united change because thousands of people sent messages to their executives through our tools. They agreed to change. And so there's there's some hope there and we are getting many of these companies to change policies as we hold them accountable. But this is. This is thing i mean. It speaks the vulgarization of the culture. You kinda think of what kind of pig would watch pornography on a point. It's so disgusting that it's inconceivable that somebody would be such tacky person that they would not even be aware that they're doing something in a public space. Let's be honest. it's a public space with. It's like a. It's a crowd. You're you're in a tight crowd with people sitting around trying to live their lives in. You're doing something like that. So it's just disgusting but then the idea. Is that if those people are going to do that. The idea that the airline would allow. It is just wild. I mean it's just wild and but other airlines. They don't have a record on this. There haven't been as many not as many cases but delta also i actually i was on a delta flight where a man watch pornography in front of me in front of me of all people say anything. Oh yes i said something. Oh my if anybody did did that near me they would be very sorry. Sorry and he. Because that's just so unacceptable. It's astonishing that people would do that. I mean as a man okay. I'm thinking about other women mothers grandmothers girls. I mean just just that is just. It is an astonishing thing that people could be so poorly socialized that they would even dream that that might be acceptable. And that's the perfect action right here when you see sexual abuse and exploitation calling it out and up an opposing it wherever you are on an airline but guys are total cowards. I've seen this. They don't want to say anything. I think we do. You know you know because people. I mean this gets to the issue that i talk about a lot about how people are ultimately selfish in the sense that it takes something to say something. It's something and you ought to be willing to do that for the sake of culture around you don't just think about yourself like it's gonna cost me something but it's the right thing to do and if everybody did that this would not happen. It will say that more than half of our advocacy campaigns. Win so more than half of the time. If you speak up when you see a great you will win. Oh no no. That's why i'm saying like way that it's preposterous to be cowardly because there is no question that if people do this it is very effective. Everybody if everybody said something or just made the person comfortable instead of like. Hey that's not acceptable. Or that's not or tell the flight attendant or whatever it is this would end because people would. The word would get out like you'd better not do that. But people are quiet and so people are allowing this to continue. Which is you know. it's so so it really is on us that we need to step up but i just. I'm just amazed. But i've seen stuff like this not quite not quite pornography but i'm always amazed with let me tell you. Another one of my favorite victories was with the department of defense. We what the department of defense on dirty dozen list a few years ago because sexual assault was rampant throughout the military and they were selling hardcore pornography through all the basics changes and they often allow pornography to be hung up in public and workspaces around the military so we called them out. Congress called them out. Thousands of individuals and military spouses and members called them out and they change. They totally got out of this. That's the whole thing is that it's just so hopeful when when we realized that this is doable. We can do something about it so you can speak up wherever you are.

Yeah we focus on pornography initially and did a lot under president. Reagan bush Calling for federal investigations of obscenity but ten years ago we expanded to work focused on all abuse and exploitation issues. So what is this annual dirty dozen list. Oh that's my favorite project because we name and and frankly we shame. Some of the top mainstream companies in the united states. Who are who are propelling. The sexual exploitation industry forward companies like net flicks google instagram snapchat. And we we educate the public on the ways that they're involved in sexual abuse and exploitation and then give people opportunities to get involved in these comedies change. They almost always change their policies as walmart listed. Why is walmart on this list. We no longer have them listed walmart used to sell hardcore pornography. dvd's and magazines through their online shop. Amazon still is and and we also were asking walmart to remove cosmopolitan magazine which we would argue is harmful especially is pinkish. it is totally pinkish. It's fascinating how some of these you know the we think of them as cultural institutions. Helen gurley brown cosmo. And it's become just really really filthy.

It is because he is immersed with having older sibling with down syndrome and then toddler than a baby. He's just like my go-to guy. And sometimes i feel like that could be a little daunting for his little life. You know and So there's sometimes i feel mom guilt and it just wild as a as we were traveling and people would make small talk with us. The first thing he would talk about is always sunflower oldest sister. Who seven and i can't even cry just talking about and he's just so proud any doesn't lead. I feel like when he talks about her he has so like he. Caesar as she is a really good reader. He says that sunflower because she enjoys reading. And she'll he'll even sit like kim. Shepard sit and listen to sunfire read. They like honestly they're like. Wow you're so good at reading sunny you know. And like he has so much admiration for her and we got to go to the sandal gap studios and celebrate all these people with down syndrome. Who are part of global down syndrome or who are walking the runway in honor of global down syndrome. And i can see that. Roads hasn't quite still made that full correlation between down syndrome in that his sister has downs syndrome and we felt like That was kind of mentioned in a really beautiful way in this interview. And i love how we talked about knowing jenna before knowing down syndrome and i feel like what a for sunflower to have someone who's fully known her for knowing her has down syndrome. 'cause even as parents i feel like that eat like i saw sunflower nowhere for who she is and i see down. Do you know what i mean like. We don't have that childlike. Innocence is and When he mentioned that about his sister gina it like it gave me a window to also wet how roads see sunflower shepherd see sunflower and it was really. It was really beautiful. And a and i really appreciated a siblings perspective a lot. I love that so beautiful and it is like the even. I always joke with chris about how i can't tell people have down syndrome or not. Sometimes i'm just like it's just a phase and so it like i love. Yeah i don't know there's so much businesses interview so much you guys in i just overall i felt lake justin sane.

I'd been like feeling when. He's talking about structural bias. How we just. We're all following into the structural bias. It's so seeped into our culture you're now in Yeah the critical thinking the I want to go and read. More about the disabilities act in how he talked about Their phrase nothing about us without us guys talking more about how. It's hard but we need to listen to those with disabilities speaking for themselves and even We do and even as able bodied people we do but we listened to also how we want to listen to it. All control that narrative. It's like we take it as a suggestion. But then we're like we'll take care of you. You know we still know best you know and There's so much as even as a mom.

I like to call a low engagement activities like You know reading or you know sitting on the couch and you know this chilling out and try not to give into sort of my restless urge to go in and do something whether it is you know go eat or you know maybe go have a drink or or something like that something along those lines.

Just sit on the couch What do you do when you sit on the couch watching tv or you on your phone laptop well not to watch tv like if my purpose is to sit there and and do nothing. That's what i tried to do You know maybe. I will just to kind of sit there and just be there as long as i can. Sometimes you know. I have a pretty good view from where i live so i think it is a bit easier to stay out the window. Sometimes they do that But i just tried to be as a little engaged as possible and you know it's not always easy for me like i think that it is a. It's a process that i'm still learning to be more comfortable with boredom and learning more about how it affects me. Well let's start. I guess where your book starts. It's a term that we throw around all the time especially during long months of lockdown but what is boredom well boredom. It's really hard to pin down. Really because it i mean i call it an emotion but you could also call it you know a mood or a state of the human condition. Really what it is is. It's the lack of anything to do. It's the lack of finding something worthwhile to do with our time or something that we deem as important or that engages our minds and so in some ways it's an emotion because you know we're feeling it and think oftentimes it appears as a restlessness But it's also like a more sort of It's a mood right in the sense that it's a way that we are experiencing the world. There is a great quote. I think in the book. Where is everything around us. Seem to be drained of its meaning. It's not that we're board but everything around us has lost. Its purpose to us has lost. Its shininess. It's newness right and then it doesn't engage us any longer. See that i bet. Many people who are listening can identify with that feeling a lot things around our home that we use to you know look forward to getting home and enjoying or spending time with now just surround us twenty four seven and they no longer feel like. We should look forward to doing you know. Yeah i was really interested in. Why is it that when we have nothing to do. Why is it that we feel this. Need to go into something. And i thought that really spoke to something strange about the human condition in general. And that's that's where i'm coming from is i'm a student of the human condition you know. It did. My counseling degree In meaning and purpose and then phd also related to to meaning and purpose and along the way of doing that research. I discover that is very much related to boredom. And as i was doing all my research i came to the point that it seems that movement in some form. Another whether it's physical or psychological. Is something absolutely necessary for us as humans. And actually if you look around the world everything moves. Everything is always in flux and then obviously the contrast of that is boredom right so in some ways. We're meant to be moving all the time. And it's really you know if you think about it. Our our hunter gatherer ancestors if they didn't move all the time whether it was hunting forging making spears or whatever it might be they would have died and so it's almost a survival instinct to keep moving forward yet today. I think we're in such a state that we're going way too fast so we need to rein it in a little bit just like we're meant to eat. You know certainly meant to eat every single day. But we're not meant to eat. You know ten thousand calories. And i think that's where we are today is that were meant to move. But we're just not meant move and as fast as we are and so that's why it has become so uncomfortable for us to board and proud to why we need to be more board and really listen to what's going on in that space when you talk about our need to move and the fact that we're moving more and faster than ever before let's leave the pandemic for a second. We'll definitely talk about that. You're not necessarily talking about physical movement right. yes exactly you know. I think like animals. Obviously you know. They're always physically engaged but humans justice psychologically engaged. I think it's just as as needed for us right. Yes diving into something that engages our minds so so given that then Shouldn't the past twelve months have been really good for us in some way that to give us a chance to to slow down and not have Places to go and people to see all the time yet know for sure. I think it has been a good opportunity. But i think the problem is. Is that you kind of have to be a student of boredom to actually take advantage of it right and most people came into the pandemic with the attitude that most of us had for most of our lives. Which is it is a bad thing that needs to be avoided so therefore a lot of us just filled it up with something different right and maybe that's a good thing. we discovered new things that we enjoyed. And there's nothing wrong with

Which after all have what proof point aptly calls a low barrier to compromise the campaign also suggests a shift to more open source tools on the part of the p. l. a. ukraine's national security and defense counsel has accused moscow of compromising a ukrainian government file sharing system the system of electronic interaction of executive bodies zd net thinks. The group responsible is gamero. Don a group widely regarded as a proxy for russian intelligence services. Kamera don has certainly been active against ukrainian targets in the past. But it's an odd duck while often thought of as an advanced persistent threat that is a government. Run operation in some respects. It doesn't really act like a government agency or even a straight up contractor like iran's mob group for one thing gamero don doesn't restrict it's targeting the way government operation normally would nor is it entirely indiscriminate in the way the lower end criminal gangs tend to be for all that gamero. Don is both noisy and aggressive. Research by cisco's talos group suggests that gamero don is also a mercenary player in the criminal. Criminal market talos wrote in. Its recent report on maradonna quote. We should consider the possibility of this. Not being an ap t at all rather being a group that provides services for other ap teas while doing its own attacks on other regions and quote so Kind of contractor perhaps a criminal organization that hires its services out to intelligence services but that also does business with other criminals while its principal state sponsor by general agreement russia turns a blind eye so gamero don is one of the most active and undeterred actors in the threat landscape it does the work of an ap t but it uses a cybercriminals style. It's worth noting that the operation the ns dc describes seems to be a software supply chain compromise as an s. d. c. tweeted. The attack belongs to the so-called supply chain attacks methods in means of carrying out this cyberattack allow to connect it with one of russia's hackers spy groups this is therefore a different matter entirely from the distributed denial of service attacks ukraine complained of at the beginning of the week the de dos attack targeted. Both the national security and council and the sba you security service bleeping.

The ns dc describes the diaz thusly vulnerable government web servers are infected with virus that covertly makes them part of a button. It used for de dos attacks on other resources at the same time. Security systems of internet providers identify compromised web servers as a source of attacks and begin to block their work by automatically blacklisting them. Thus even after the end of the de dos fix the attacked websites remain inaccessible to users and quote. But it seems that this denial of service harassment was probably the work of the criminal.

"hawkins" Discussed on The Tattness Podcast
"Talks about it on the show all the time and it's going to be in a fucking newly so he's literally on sport divorced you know so he's like damn you know if we're going to do a movie like this front for guys perspective. It's gotta be funny as shit And he's like. I want to be that character. I wanna be the guy that's going on like his fourth divorce and you know just everything's fallen to shit but yet you know trying to give you advice and i was like oh this is good like this is real flack and good So i was like okay. We could do that. And the first thing i learned. Is you gotta wear a lot of hats man to to do this shit You're not just writing it and then being in it. You gotta do a lot of things like i became like the scout for location. Became in no All sorts of things and trying to minimalized how much other people have to do. Because i know that budget wise may not be the biggest thing in the world. So it's like. I don't want people to have to do a whole thomas shit and get bare minimum for it. I'm trying to take on too much responsibility as possible So i became with that in mind like more open to kind of what other people are doing and aaron pitch to me like the the trailer like have you seen it now. I don't think. I have. And then the second i start watching it. Oh yeah i did watch this totally did but i'm gonna fucking watch again because i remember how much i was so enthralled with it in the first place the first time i saw it because i was like dude for some reason like psychologically like you said that's what it is. It's not like some graphic like blood and guts fucking slasher flick. And i was like. I told them the first impression i got. And i mean this is the hugest compliment Is it kind of reminded me of fear clinic. That robert england did which was like a psychological fucking it was a series but then they turned it into a movie and i was like holy shit. This is a trip dude like mentally. This is like what the fuck so in that sense like. I'm not saying it's even remotely story line. You know wise close but like just in the mindset of it being like a mental trip. I felt like it had a lot in common with that. That really grabbed me. You know made me interested. So yeah i I think the one thing and i was talking to aaron. We kind of put the trailer together. I was like i. We can come up with a typical two minute trailer. And kinda put these bases in there or create some kind of story as kind of imagery to take people on a take people to a different place but yet still give them ideal some kind of idea of like what's going on with the movie. 'cause we we're still. We're still in post production editing new movie. So he's like we need to get. We need to get needed trailer so we pretty much had to stop working on a movie to start working on the trailer so we pretty much built a story Within that trailer people in a lot of people don't really call the trailer like man. It's kinda like it's kinda audio. Is you call audio visual music video. But it's like this is it's a trailer is telling a story. But he's still got these. Just these inventories than guys talk to this girl when all these things popping up in a and it's like well that's the that's what that's what we want to accomplish. We didn't which we didn't want to be like pretentious. We want to do something different man and make some. But it's like this. Let's do something that that kinda takes people into another mindset and and the trailers three trailers three minutes forty eight seconds or whatever so as long sale log the longest. She'll make a trailer. The longest should make a trailer is liked admits but frozen and frozen to was three minutes. Twenty seconds pros and two or three minute twenty seconds we're gonna make traded disney can do. We can do because we're disney. But we made august regular but people gravitated to in as like fucking trippy. Now anything away. The story we told in that trailer that an that's going to be told in the movie right because there's a lot. There's a lot of twists and in this movie that it's gonna cap who like at ease. They get confused or they're gonna be like oh shit like nam that's happening a lot of symbolism but but but the but the keep things is about a one is camera demand is about. What's going on in her mind and the things she had to go through to get to catch. That even talked to his therapies. So a lot of the stuff is in her hand. There's a lot of stuff going on the happening in passing on these things. There's things going on with him right weird because we got this fish man character and all that stuff but he's kinda like the puppeteer of light kind of tweaking everything around with this family and he's found his yeah. I know i've never seen what you said. I'm in Rob honestly though it might be it might be similar will never seen anybody. Yeah it might be similar to what we're doing but honestly if it is than it is i mean. We're we're influenced. I think we're influenced by so much stuff and so many movies. We take a lot of being era. She also that was erin. Hawkins and chris churn who wrote evil lurks bad ass looking movie. Sorry again my apologies. Once again to you and them for the abrupt end to that show but technical difficulties. Unfortunately is the first time it happened and That one really sucked on stung because we had such a great show such a great conversation that It sucked to lose quite a bit of it but you know it was still a great show in my view with them. I had so much fun. you know the stuff that got cut. It wasn't really about the movie too much anyways. A lot of our personal Views on other movies in our interests. And things like that which you guys have heard me talk about time and time again anyway but would have been cool to have all of that so and It is what it is man Sometimes technology just is not your best friend and this is one of those times so once again man links in a in the description you can go to his co. dot com and you can see this video there as well to watch the trailer Or you know every platform ut and all that where you can get the visual version or you can listen to it if you want. But i think you need the visual. It just makes it so much more bad ass. So shout out to alexi their management That sent them to me Got quite a good working relationship with her man. She's got so much talent going on over there for me to interview and bring on the show. And that's also who i met crystal aveiro through which i'm forever grateful for that and now i'm friends with aaron and You know a great guy. We matched immediately as well. And i consider him a friend so you know. I'm pretty grateful man. I get to talk to really talented cool people and now that i'm getting into movie industry. It's it's so cool to have these guys you.
