Episode Introduction
Originally streamed on Infosec.live and shared here with their approval, Simon and Josh share their unconventional cybersecurity journeys and advice on breaking in, overcoming imposter syndrome, the cyber skills gap, and new career developments.
They discuss their unusual career paths into the industry, with Josh detailing his Air Force pilot background and Simon recounting how he rebuilt his life after bankruptcy.
Both share valuable insights on beating imposter syndrome and negativity through self-reflection, mindfulness, pushing comfort zones cautiously, and not forcing yourself to be someone you're not.
On the cyber skills gap, they advocate demonstrating skills rather than formal experience, being inquisitive, and networking. They also reveal promising recent career progress, with Simon taking on investment to grow his InfoSec Live community globally and Josh working on new training courses since his company's acquisition.
