Join me in this week’s episode as I have a super interesting conversation with someone who has a very wide range of experiences in the music business and cybersecurity entrepreneurship – two very different industries.
We discuss…
- The challenges of the music industry (such as the impact of digitalization and file-sharing)
- How my guest pivoted towards cybersecurity due to his fascination with technology and the growing need for digital security
- The career journey that it took to transition from one to the other
- His experiences founding and growing companies in both the music and cybersecurity sectors, highlighting challenges, lessons learned, and future plans
