Drink Coffee. Do Cool Stuff.

In this first guest episode of Drink Coffee. Do Cool Stuff., I sit down with Brad Bussie – cybersecurity executive, technology leader, sci-fi fantasy author, and lifelong punk rock fan. We talk about how publishing his first novel decades after being told it was impossible shaped his courage and confidence, how Dungeons & Dragons prepared him for executive leadership, and why stoicism keeps him grounded in a noisy world.

If you’ve ever doubted whether you could finish what you start, this conversation will remind you: courage isn’t something you have, it’s something you choose.

This is not a hype trailer. It is the real beginning.

In this short kickoff episode I share the purpose behind Drink Coffee. Do Cool Stuff. It is a podcast for leaders, builders, and clear thinkers navigating a noisy and uncertain world.

This show is about showing up with courage, thinking strategically, and leading like the work actually matters because it does.

There are no shortcuts and no scripts. These are lessons learned the hard way after more than thirty years in tech, cyber, and leadership. It is a commitment to share what still holds true.

If you are building something, questioning everything, or trying to stay grounded when the pressure hits, this is your space.
