Listen "E14: The Karl Method: A CISO (Generalist) Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing."
Episode Synopsis
Why Listen: How to face it till you make it.
Karl is the king of analogies and funny anecdotes, and he has plenty to describe how he has navigated his career as a generalist. As an Independent Security Consultant and Virtual CISO, Karl describes how, in the end, the generalist is the maze master, but they need to be willing to pay the price and "look" the part of the specialist, i.e., be the wolf in sheep's clothing. I hope you have as much fun as I did following "tiger's bounce".
