Tom Pace: Pick Your Frustrating If you're going to anything interesting… you're gonna have to go hard -- Henry Rollins Welcome to the premier episode of the pm73media podcast! For those of you who have been with me for awhile you will recall the era of Insecurity where we had some fabulous guests. Our brief stint as the No Name Security Podcast had its moments but is kind of the Timothy Dalton James Bond if you feel me… Lots of great things are in motion and I am back on the schedule so make sure you stick around and check it out. There will be some names you know as well as some really interesting new faces as well. The best part is that it will be an unfiltered and raw story from some really interesting people across the security world, tech at large and then sometimes just some awesome randos who are really fun to talk to. You ready? LET'S GO!!! On the inaugural episode of pm73media, Matt Stephenson sits down with NetRise co-founder to talk about the impact of founding a startup. This isn't your average tale of VCs and getting customers. We dig into what kind of impact founding a startup has on your mind and body… might even get a little spiritual. This is the first in a series as look to talk about the things you may not find in the tech rags and business journals. Dig it.

About Scott Scheferman About Matt Stephenson My name is Matt Stephenson (@packmatt73) and I have hosted podcasts, videos and live events all over the world which put me with experts on every corner of the cybersecurity landscape. pm73media is my first solo endeavor. On this platform and others to come, I will continue to expand upon the tradition we started with the Insecurity podcast as I seak out the leading minds in the tech industry and beyond. I am always looking for fun people who may break things every now and again. In 20 years in the ecosystem of Data Protection and Cybersecurity I have toured the world extolling the virtues of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and how, when applied to information security, these technologies can wrong-foot the bad guys. Whether in person, live virtual events or podcasting, I get to interview interesting people doing interesting things all over the world of technology and the extended world of hacking. Sometimes, that means hacking elections or the coffee supply chain... other times that means social manipulation or the sovereign wealth fund of a national economy. Wherever I go, my job is all about talking with the people who build, manage or wreck the systems that we have put in place to make the world go round... If you tuned in to any of my previous podcasts, there's great new…! pm73media is here! I will be bringing the same kind of energy and array of guests you know and love. Best part? We're still at the same spot. You can find it at Spotify, Apple, Amazon Music & Audible as well as, GooglePlay, Gaana, Himalaya, I Heart Radio and wherever you get your podcasts!
