Ever wondered what happens when cyber policy meets real-world collaboration in D.C.?

Dive into my raw takeaways from the Aspen Cybersecurity Summit, a 10-year powerhouse event packed with federal insights, government initiatives, and unfiltered panel talks.

Hear firsthand about the close-knit community of recurring pros, the power of diverse voices (including trailblazing women), and why showing up shapes the narrative.

From interviewing Bowie State cyber students to spotting gaps in international perspectives, this episode spotlights career longevity through nonstop learning and cross-sector teamwork.

Key gems: Academia-private sector mashups, underrepresented voices at the table, and strategic storytelling beyond tech skills. If you’re building longevity in cybersecurity, this is your blueprint.
