We're re-releasing one of our most practical episodes this week — originally published November 2025, and still one of the best roadmap conversations we've had on the show.

Brad and Spencer share no-fluff advice for breaking into cybersecurity, whether you're switching careers, starting from scratch, or leveling up from a general IT role. They cover what employers actually look for, the fastest paths in, and what to skip.

If you're exploring a cybersecurity career, or know someone who is, this one's for you.
