In this special episode, I sit down with someone near and dear to my heart — my daughter Ash, a senior computer science major at Slippery Rock University and the developer behind PDRM Protect, our upcoming asset and vulnerability management software built specifically for small businesses.

We talk about what it's actually like working on a real-world software product for the first time, the lessons Ash has learned over nearly a year of development, and yes — what it's like working for your parents.

In this episode, we cover:

• What PDRM Protect is and why we built it
• How Ash went from game development and class projects to building enterprise-level security software
• The importance of documentation, naming conventions, and communication when working on a team (even a small one)
• Growing up around development teams and how that shaped Ash's instincts
• What Ash is most excited — and most nervous — about as we head toward launch
• Who's easier to work for: Mom or Dad? (Ash answers honestly.)
