After almost 6 months, we're back with brand new content. Paul Keastead and I discussed what we've been up to over the past few months and dive into some of the platforms we've been using for continuing education outside of our security roles. Paul recently finished his Masters in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance degree in addition to his Bachelor's Degree from WGU while Ben has been continuing his Bachelor's program while working in the field as a security practitioner for an MSSP. Tune in to see what we've been doing and stay tuned for more content coming your way next week!

This episode featured active duty US Marine Paul Keastead as we discussed our degree program and the benefits of accelerating through the degree. Paul comes from a decorated background of military leadership and IT Management whereas Ben only started in the field 8 months ago. At WGU, the opportunities to accelerate are endless and we discuss this in length throughout the show. Tune in to listen to their journeys' where they discuss what worked, what didn't, and where they plan on going next!  

We're back with another episode of The Encrypted Owl where we talk about what's been happening over the past few months and we've been silent. We'll be hosting another episode hopefully next Saturday 2/25 so stay tuned for more content!

Hi everyone! Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the Encrypted Owl. To be completely honest, this episode is a bit short in lieu of the cancellation of our live show that was supposed to take place at 8pm tonight. I plan on bringing a better episode next week filled with more content. Have a great weekend and I'll see you all next week!

This episode is the second installment of The Encrypted Owl, I talked about recently finishing my AWS-CP course and my first 3 courses at WGU. I discussed how I am planning on detailing my study strategies and what has worked for me in the past. Tune in next week to hear how my Net+ studying is going! We'll talk in depth about the first few chapters that I will have completed by then and what additional things I am doing to reinforce the concepts that I'm learning. The plan next week is to host our first live show; if anyone is interested in co-hosting, please reach out to me on LinkedIn. I would love to have somebody currently enrolled in a bootcamp program or at WGU; This way, you can document your learning progress and add to your resume. Thanks again for tuning in, see you next week!
