    S7 E6: Chasing Joy

    In this episode of the Urban Girl Corporate World Podcast, Nicole sits down with Ervin McBride, a cybersecurity professional, mentor, and North Carolina A&T alum, to discuss his intentional journey into the tech world, the power of mentorship, and the importance of representation in cybersecurity. Ervin shares how intentional networking helped him break into cybersecurity and how internships during college gave him the chance to explore different career paths before discovering the "right fit" in cybersecurity. After meeting Nicole at AfroTech, he took the time to build trust and vet her before asking her to be his mentor—an example of how genuine connections can lead to powerful relationships. The conversation dives deep into how Ervin navigates imposter syndrome, especially as one of the few Black professionals in many cybersecurity spaces, and how he channels that experience into creating awareness content on social media and mentoring others as a way of giving back to the community. Ervin describes why cybersecurity is a field he loves—it keeps him on the edge of his seat and demands that he always stay ready. With the landscape constantly evolving, continuous learning and adaptability are key. Follow Ervin on social media to keep up with his cybersecurity awareness content and professional journey. *** Enjoyed this episode?
