HD and Myra Marbley dive into the "Real Truth" of transitioning from a 13-year career in the Marine Corps to the front lines of Cybersecurity. They discuss the challenges of being a double minority in tech, navigating corporate politics, and the reality of 6-figure salaries after service.

They also touch on:

The Military-to-Tech Blueprint: How to move from Admin roles into Networking and Pen Testing.

Career Truths: Why certifications like Security+ and the Google Cyber Certificate are game-changers.

Survival Advice: Managing "micromanaging" managers and leveraging your DD214 for tech success.

Networking: Why "who knows you" matters more than "what you know" at conferences like Black Is Tech.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!
