In this episode, Brock talks with Josh Steinman.
Josh is a former navy officer who served in a variety of roles including the chief of naval operations rapid innovation cell and the office of the secretary of the navy task force innovation. After his time in the Navy, he went on to work on the national security council advising on cyber policy, an issue he's particularly passionate about. Josh has worked to launch several startups including an American made wool stocks company that crowdfunded over 50,000 dollars on Kickstarter and most recently Galvanick, a company looking to secure industrial operations from cyber attacks.
We talk through the importance of building a feedback loop on your life in order to get closer to reality, that past and present of cyber security and what Galvanick is looking to do in the industrial space, and the basic frameworks for startup founders.
