Even though it may seem daunting but you have to find a focus and go all in for it. You can pivot it later, but really dig in and find a focus to give you a foothold.

Servant leadership, and being earnest in your willingness to help is a good way to forward the community. Show up for others and people with show up for you.

David Bittner shares the story of The CyberWire with us. A more informed community is a safer community. It grew from just reading the CyberWire newsletter to interviews and becoming one of the most popular cybersecurity podcasts out there. They have come a long way from the 5 person shop they started with. Podcasting is truly unique and revolutionizing the way people obtain their information. People can grow by listening during mundane tasks like brushing teeth, driving, or even in the shower. They can make their time more valuable by consuming podcasts during these times. They talk about growing their viewer base through expanding their content base and obtaining funding for that growth. He points out an important distinction, that it is their job to make the audience smarter, not to point out to the audience how smart THEY are.

He discusses his entrepreneurial side, and how that helped him see what was missing and sought out to fill that need. Jack gives us some good examples around is security really companies "top concern"? Is there a balance between security I.E. not collecting any data, location, etc and usability?

Davin shares some advice on getting started in penetration testing and API penetration testing. Always stay hungry and learn, never stop so you are able to help others. Davin talks about how we can get more diverse people into cyber that might not see it as a career path. You don't have to be a "poindexter" to be in cyber. Getting people to understand that SS#'s and medical info can go for more than trade secrets. Understanding this can help people understand the need for security. Davin stresses that those just starting out, don't think that you have to know everything right away. Don't burn yourself out. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Surround yourself with the right people. To those experienced people, share that information. "Lift as you climb." Trust and believe in the next generation, share what you have learned with them to ensure we have a bright future.
