    Start your GRC Career with TechPreneurs Club

    Hey there, tech enthusiasts! Welcome back to The TechTual Talk. This is episode 115, and today, it's all about "Get In GRc." I'm Henri, your guide through the tech jungle, and boy, do we have a treat for you!

    Joining us is the super savvy Jordanne, who's mastered the game of GRC, and she's here to spill all the tea. From her accidental dive into the world of PCI compliance right out of college, we're going deep into how our past gigs and college majors turned out to be the GPS for our careers.

    We'll be chatting about those lightbulb moments that made us think differently about making bank, and how we went from fresh-faced college kids to big kids playing in the tech sandbox.

    Jordanne's going to drop some truth bombs about a job interview that was more like a bad quiz show and how certs alone aren't the golden ticket in our world. And get this—we'll talk about using the good ol' boob tube to make cyber stuff stick in people's brains easier.

    We're not just going to hang out on the surface; we're going to go deep into the serious biz, like the importance of stepping up for yourself, never hitting pause on learning, and why you've got to work those soft skills like a boss.

    Plus, we've got the scoop on what's scary in data privacy, the rise of deep fakes, and how to armor up against the cyber baddies that keep changing their stripes. If you're curious about PCI compliance or climbing the GRC ladder, Jordanne's lived to tell the tale.

    We're all about sharing that good karma, so we've got a code for a free 14-day trial with Aura to keep your data on lockdown. And yeah, we'll remind you: Don't go wild with that tax return—invest in your tech future instead!

    So, come hang with us. It's going to be a laid-back chat with solid gold info, whether you're just breaking into tech or you're a walking IT encyclopedia. Time to Get In GRc with The TechTual Talk. And remember, we're all about keeping it real. Catch you in a sec!

  • 110: From Fireman to Network Administrator

    Send us a Text Message.

    Join us as we journey from hilarious college pranks to competitive high school football games, from discovering passion for IT to dealing with a mischievous egg-throwing escapade. Our episode dives into a rich tapestry of experiences, commencing with our guest’s enlightening voyage of self-discovery, starting from their college days to finding fulfillment at his new job. We stroll down memory lane, recalling our shared college experiences, shedding light on the amusing and not-so-ordinary aspects of Greek life. Ever wondered what a frozen bottle of liquor prank is all about? Well, brace yourself for a good laugh! 

    Our exploration takes an interesting turn when we invite a special guest to talk about their glory days in high school football. The combination of triumphs, struggles, team dynamics, and the impact of coaching are all brought to life in our conversation. We then transition into the world of IT. Hear about the unique journey I took, switching from a Kinesiology major to IT. From Ruston, Louisiana to Best Buy, and how a mentor played a pivotal role in this life-altering transformation. 

    As we navigate the challenges and rewards of the IT and networking industry, we speak with a former T-Mobile knock employee who stresses the importance of gaining diverse experience. We chat about salary growth, preparation for technical roles, and give an inside perspective on Google,  and T-Mobile. As we near the end of the episode, we discuss the daily life of a network admin and share valuable advice for those who aspire to step into the field. This is an episode filled with tales of humor, self-discovery, and insight, something you don't want to miss!
