Bare Knuckles and Brass Tacks

Breaking into Cyber, Finding Your Why, and Making the Entrepreneurial Leap


Listen Later

Kenneth Ellington returns, one year later to talk about the changes from leaving his corporate gig to work for himself.

George K and George A talk to Kenneth about:

  • How he's balancing running a cybersecurity academy, staffing agency, AND active security work
  • Real talk about the challenges of building business processes from scratch
  • Brutally honest advice about job hunting in cyber
  • Why job opportunities still exist in cyber - but you need the right mindset
  • Contract work vs full-time positions

Favorite quote: "Be honest with yourself. Lying to yourself never is a good option."

Whether you're looking to break into cyber, considering the leap to entrepreneurship, or just want some straight talk about the industry - this episode delivers valuable insights from someone walking the walk.
