Navigating the military transition and deciding what is next for your career trajectory is not a simple answer - it requires asking and answering insightful questions for yourself and your family about what kind of work / life balance you prefer, if location is imperative, salaries needed to live comfortably, and what you actually enjoy doing.
Sometimes working in a security clearance career is a prospect. And sometimes being your own boss as an entrepreneur is the best decision you can make.
Dean Wegner, who attended West Point and served in the U.S. Army as a Captain - Helicopter Pilot and Army Ranger - joins the podcast to talk about how he married two missions very important to him after service: creating jobs in the U.S. and being his own boss.

"Hacker in Heels" is a term that often refers to women who are involved in the field of cybersecurity or hacking, a traditionally male-dominated industry.
The Hacker in Heels organization, which provides resources, training, and networking opportunities specifically for women interested in cybersecurity. By offering courses, mentorship, and a supportive community, such organizations strive to break down barriers and create a more inclusive environment in the tech industry.
Maril Vernon and Stacey Champagne didn’t have technical backgrounds in cybersecurity but are now incredible disruptors in this space. Stacey was a visual information specialist for the government and Maril came from marketing. But both wanted to increase their earning potential in a field that they knew was never going away both in the private / commercial sector and defense. Also, as hosts of the Cyber Queens Podcast, they hope to help women level up in technical careers and increase female and LGBTQ diversity in cybersecurity.
This is the first episode of a two part series - which will teach you what you need to do to get your foot in the door, and their experiences sometimes being the only women in the room.
