In this episode, hosts Ervin McBride and Chris Okpala are joined by guests Markisha Snape and Derrick Phillips for a deep-dive into the world of cybersecurity specifically, Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). Together, they unpack what a typical day looks like in GRC, why strong relationship-building and soft skills are as critical as technical knowledge, and how risk management shapes the work they do.Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned pro thinking about the next step, you’ll get actionable advice on building foundational skills, leveraging transferable experiences, and making connections, even if you’re networking online. The conversation closes with motivation to keep pushing forward and the reminder that, wherever you’re headed in your career, you truly belong in the room.#grc #techwoke #rmf
