Ross's journey into cybersecurity began with a unique path. He had been involved in various tech fields for over a decade, including e-commerce, retail, and financial technology.

He joined a cybersecurity startup as a product leader despite his initial hesitation due to the complexity and jargon associated with the field.

And this episode uncovers exactly that. With a rather refreshing take on the cybersecurity landscape today, Ross is de-romanticizing the complexity, one day at a time.

We also touch upon Ross's perspective as an angel investor and industry insider, emphasizing the importance of balance in cybersecurity startup founders. (along with some incredible advice for teams who are trying to sell to CISOs)

So grab a snack, get cozy, and dive straight in!
