An Expert's Perspective on Workplace Violence Prevention with Hector Alvarez MSPsy, CTM
#023 - In this next episode I was honored to be joined by Hector Alvarez MSPsy, CTM. He's a leader in workplace violence prevention who has extensive experience supporting clients across industries when it comes to behavioral threat assessment, workplace training, and more. Currently, he's the President of Alvarez Associates LLC where he helps clients with these challenges. Plus, he's a Reserve Police Officer with Folsom Police Department in northern California.
He’s earned his master's in forensic psychology from Grand Canyon University and holds the Certified Threat Manager Certification from ATAP. Some of the topics we covered that I think you'll find interesting include: Hector's path to developing his expertise, how his experience as a reserve Police Officer and his experience in grad school have made him better at serving his clients, and his advice for aspiring practitioners.

Violence Prevention and the Human Element of Security with Jameson Ritter
#020 - In this next episode I was happy to be joined by Jameson Ritter, CTM, CPP, PSP, PCI, all the way from the North Star State. He's a security leader, with a passion for threat management and violence prevention. His experience ranges from Air Force EOD, to Law Enforcement, to protecting private organizations.
And what I think you’ll enjoy most about my conversation with Jameson is his enthusiasm for getting people interested in threat assessment (myself included). Plus he shared great insights about the human element of workplace training, his ideas on the importance of networking with our security peers, and of course — why you should consider participating with ATAP (Association of Threat Assessment Professionals).

Physical Security Consulting Lessons From the Field with Matthew Dimmick
#019 - In this next episode I was honored to be joined by (the immensely knowledgeable) Matthew Dimmick CPP, PSP, CPD. He is a physical security leader supporting organizations as a consultant. He has broad experience from being an MP in the US Army, from supporting CBRN teams, and tons of experience in security consulting roles — which we’ll focus on today.
You’re going to love today’s discussion because Matt drew our attention to many less-common topics among security pros such as why design thinking and user experience are important for physical security project success. Or how mind mapping can help you prepare for your future career opportunities. And so much more.

From Global Intel to Cyber Threat Intelligence With Robert Crapo
#018 - In this next episode, I was honored to be joined by Robert Crapo. He is a cyber intelligence leader in his organization, in the financial services industry. He has broad experience from being an intel officer in the US Army, he’s worked in intel analyst roles, and now leads projects that are a fusion of global intel and cyber threat intel — supporting diverse stakeholders across his organization. Plus, he’s earned his Master’s from the university of South Florida.
Today's discussion was really interesting for me, especially because Robert made a pivot of sorts in his career from being an intel analyst to supporting and leading cyber initiatives in his organization — and I think this is an essential idea for analysts out there to think about — your skills are highly transferable across other security disciplines and you can be so much more than you are!

Incredible Insights
Travis has put together a remarkable podcast for both experienced and aspiring students of the security industry alike. He features highly skilled professionals as his guests whom share invaluable insights stemming from real world experience. With the knowledge and wisdom gained from these great conversations, students are able to learn and incorporate the best and most efficient practices for the field.
I'd also like to congratulate the host on reaching his one year anniversary for "The Security Student Podcast". I've really come to enjoy these conversation over the past year and I'm looking forward to more!
Excellent Career Resource
Podcasts tend to specialize on very specific audiences and interests. In the case of The Security Student podcast, host Travis Lishok takes the listener across the wide spectrum of what is known as the "security industry." There are many security podcasts out there, however most deal with data, networks abd information security.
This isn't one of them. Instead, each episode has an interview of a seasoned security professional. This can range from consultants, coproate intelligence specialists, and even a USAF OSI Special Agent. The idea is to share insight to current and aspiring protection professionals. As a four-decade veteran of the trade, I can say the information provided here can be invaluable for anyone wanting to advance in-- or start a career as a protection professional.

New Favorite Security Podcast
So far I’m really enjoying the Security Student Podcast. Travis does a great job finding guests with diverse backgrounds so one can learn about the numerous security roles and learn from the guests. He also explores how the guests got into security and what they feel are best practices to be successful in the field. I’ve already added 3 or 4 books to my queue which were recommended from Travis or his guests. Can’t wait for the next episodes.
