The Imposter Syndrome Network Podcast Chris & Zoë

Our guest today is Dean Nelson, a technology executive, a board member and advisor and investor and advocate, and philanthropist.

We talk with Dean about how he got into technology and what his secret is for not going insane while balancing and finding effectiveness across such a diverse range of roles.

We discuss the importance of community and how to build it, how management is about enabling people, and the importance of having effective teams to execute large-scale projects.

-
Think bigger.
Because what you think is big right now will be small in the future.
It all gets bigger. The impact gets bigger. The technology gets bigger the technology, the challenges get bigger.
Just think bigger.

The Imposter Syndrome Network has launched a podcast that focuses on the various ways people can apply their passion for technology to encourage others to pursue their own tech-related passions. We do this by telling technology professional's origin stories - yes, just like the superhero's that they are!

The podcast is intended to make a difference by exposing the different jobs, roles, and careers available within digital infrastructure and by inspiring people with an interest in technology to serve humanity by applying their strengths to support reliable and resilient digital infrastructure around the world. 

Chris Grundmann and Zoë Rose are the hosts of the podcast. Chris Grundmann is a creative technologist, pragmatic philosopher, and bootstrapped entrepreneur who has worked in and around the internet for a couple of decades now. Zoë Rose is a security and investigations engineer who has held positions from offensive to defensive security, instant response, and investigations. She talks about secure by design and how important people are to it. Zoë's journey through different jobs in technology has taught her the importance of confidence when telling people what and why things are broken. 

The podcast provides a platform for Zoë and Chris to delve into the journeys of other technology professionals and uncover their decisions and successes. The episodes are filled with lessons learned from each guest. It's an opportunity to learn the why and the how of successful technology careers from other people's perspectives.

Our guest today is Jeremy Rossbach, Chief Technical Evangelist at AppNeta.

Jeremy discusses his participation in the Open Network User Group (ONUG) with Broadcom, what it was like, and what they learned.

As a Chief Technical Evangelist, he will explain what that title entails, what he enjoys most about his current position, and how he got there from a music major in college.

We'll talk about how important mental health is to him, how to overcome your ego and ask for help when you need it, and the joy of making people happy when they are frustrated.

-
It's so much easier just to let it go, to be honest, ask for help.
You get rid of so many hours spinning your wheels and locked into all that stress.
It's just it's so much more beneficial and easier just to let it go and ask for help.

Our guest today is Sebastian Paul Avarverai, EMEA Security Manager at Canon.

Sebastian shares with us what a common day looks like for him and we will learn firsthand what it is like to work alongside our very own Zoe Rose.

We explore the importance of culture and language in a good work ambiance, as well as why communication is participatory and you’re responsible for what the recipient hears rather than what you say.

We will talk about the importance of getting out of our own way, how we do not lose anything by changing our minds, and why security is something that everyone can do, it isn’t a magical thing.

-
Sometimes we tend to forget that security is not about security.
Security is about protecting the business or protecting the organization that you're part of. Protecting the people all around you.
It's not it is not a goal in itself.

Don’t be the person that says “I can't do something”, if you want to do something, go for it.
You might be rejected at the end of the day. but never be the person that tells yourself “No”.
