I am not gonna lie, I think this is one of the better Friday Op-Eds I have done.  It is based on a substack article I wrote earlier in the week, but I add a lot to what is in that article.  I don't ask this much, but if you like this episode, please share it with your friends and family.  Thanks, D

**WARNING - ANOTHER RANT INCOMING**

After spending 2 days at the National Cyber Summit here in Huntsville, I have thoughts for this Friday Op-ED.  And a question: Who is ready for the first annual "Get Cyber Smart" Online Conference?

Give a listen, tell a friend.
