The Security Insights Show!
The days are longer and it seems like I am racing time.
Hello Podcast Family. I won’t lie, I am having withdrawal symptoms from not producing the show, but I can tell you for sure, that having the time off is allowing us to come with some good ideas when we return. We also get time to listen to some of our favorite podcasts. Being on the other side of the MIC is a good thing.
In the meantime, we will occasionally (randomly) post tips, tricks, news and some of our favorite words of wisdom aka “Ed’s Edibles”, Rod Rant’s, Frank’s Fumble’s and Brodie’s Babble’s until our return.
Ed’s Edibles:
For a great payoff be especially curious about the things you are NOT interested in.
Rod Rants:
You see only 2% of another person and they see only 2% of you. Attune yourself to the hidden 98%.
Brodie Babbles:
When negotiating, don’t aim for bigger piece of the pie; aim to create a bigger pie.
Frank’s Fumbles:
Copying others is a good way to start. Copying yourself is a disappointing way to end.
