Project Management Lessons from Marine Special Operations and Beyond with Sean Salomé
The Security Student Podcast
03/04/24 • 71 min
#031 - In this next episode, I was joined by Sean Salomé, who has a very unique career that's spanned from 0311 and special operations as a MARSOC Operator to leading intelligence programs in the US Marine Corps. Plus, his work on the private side in intelligence and physical security. Additionally, Sean studied international relations at UT Austin.
Our conversation today was focused on project management and leadership. It was fascinating to hear Sean's thoughts and experience on this topic since he's taken the road less traveled through small unit leadership, leading intelligence teams, leading physical security projects, and so much more.
It was a great honor to have Sean as a guest!

On Healthcare & Emergency Management with Nick Allen
The Security Student Podcast
08/23/23 • 74 min
#025 - In this next episode, I was joined by the great Nickolas L. Allen, MPH, CPH, once again. As you may recall, Nick joined me on Episode 10 last year. This time he's back to share his experience moving from the Intel Analyst side and on to Emergency Management. What I found most educational about chatting with Nick, was hearing his thoughts on niche areas of emergency management that the average security practitioner needs to consider in their day-to-day work protecting people and property.
And who better to learn from than Nick, who has broad security experience and a master's in Public Health, Biosecurity, and Disaster Preparedness!

How to be a Remarkable Student of Security with Dr. Ygnacio “Nash” Flores
The Security Student Podcast
08/10/22 • 59 min
#016 - In this next Episode, I was honored to be joined by Dr. Ygnacio “Nash” Flores, an experienced educator and security leader. Nash is a professor teaching Homeland Security, Administration of Justice, and Corrections at Rio Hondo College in Whittier, CA. Prior to his teaching roles, he was the Dean of Public Safety. And he also served in the US Navy for 26 years — he was enlisted for 14 years, before earning his commission and eventually retiring as a Lieutenant Commander responsible for leading physical security and law enforcement projects.
Plus, he's a fellow USC Trojan (fight on!). That's where he earned his doctorate in Education.
During our chat, Nash shared some excellent insights from his experience in working with young people as a professor and from his deep experience in security and public safety roles. Some of the topics we touched on included: cultural intelligence, allowing people to make mistakes (to learn from them), and much more.

A Non-Apocalyptic Intro to Personal Emergency Preparedness with Jeff Donaldson, PhD
The Security Student Podcast
07/29/24 • 89 min
#034 - In this next episode, I was joined by Jeff Donaldson, PhD to kick off a new topic we haven't discussed on the podcast yet — emergency preparedness. This episode starts with a look at the topic from a micro perspective, personal preparedness, and future episodes will touch on the macro, such as corporate or public-level preparedness and resiliency.
Jeff brings a tremendous amount of experience directly relating to preparedness to the podcast today, from his experience as a military officer in the Canadian Army (28 years!), as the principal researcher at Preparedness Labs Incorporated, and as an Associate Faculty member at Royal Roads University. Plus, he's earned his MA in Disaster and Emergency Management, along with his doctorate in Public Policy. All that to say, he's a wealth of knowledge for us on the subject.
He even hosts a highly acclaimed podcast on preparedness and leads training sessions where he communicates (as he says), "Non-Apocalyptic evidence-based strategies for rational people with dreams."
Today's conversation focused on the philosophy of preparedness, the critical role of social capital and how it increases your ability to survive and thrive, personal responsibility, and systematic thinking/planning/considerations for you and I.
