(5:49)After doing courses at different universities and then starting med school, Art realized it was not where he wanted to go because it was science, not tech, and it was very theory-driven. (8:10)Art wanted a career where he could do stuff, so he was advised to get an MBA from Harvard or join the military to learn how to lead men, manage a budget, and learn the difference between those things. Harvard was out of reach, so he joined the Navy. (9:07)Art talks about the unique military experience that changed his perspective and made him who he is today. (11:05)The cyber-world can benefit from people with no college degree who have problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and the ability to lead. (15:08)Learning is about more than just knowledge because knowledge needs to be applied. (18:38)Art wanted to leave the Navy to join IBM, but the Admiral did not want him to leave and offered him the opportunity to go to Navy Post Graduate School with no payback. So Art spent three years studying space system engineering, got a Ph.D. equivalent, and flew on a spacecraft. (20:40)In some respects, transitioning out of the military is not easy, from a job perspective. (24:01)Art explains why he did another degree after getting his doctorate. (27:44)Art talks about the qualities of his various mentors and the importance of having connections with people with aspects that will broaden you and make you smarter. (29:14)What he has done and is currently doing at the University of Houston. (32:32)If you want to work in cybersecurity and you have a breadth of knowledge and experience, you are likely to succeed in the space. (39:16)If you want to learn more about OT, many resources are available. Use and apply them. You can also email Art for local resources at waconklin@uh.edu. Most people are willing to share their knowledge and become mentors, so reach out to those you look up to.
