Hosted by two guys named George on either side of the divide, this is a cybersecurity podcast that tackles the relationship between vendors and their customers. George Kamide is on the security vendor side, and George Al-Koura is a CISO on the customer side. Vendors gotta sell, and companies need tooling to protect their data. Tune in to hear real conversations from opposing sides of the pitch about cybersecurity marketing, sales, and go to market strategies. We go after these topics and bad practices with bare knuckles, then it’s down to brass tacks to look for solutions. Tune in to hear from guests from either side, including CISOs, SMEs, sales leaders, frontline account managers, and more!

Status Check: AI Hype, Practical Use, & Up-skilling for a New Economy
George K and George A went completely off-script this week and recorded their first one-on-one episode in years. Fair warning: it gets heated about some industry trends that have been grinding their gears.
George K and George A get into:
* The AI hype cycle vs. actual utility as George K articulates step by step how he used an LLM to prepare for a talk - what it could and couldn't help with
* The danger for companies gutting entry-level positions while claiming "AI efficiency"
* The risks of a generation that can't handle disagreement or boredom
* The return of Gilded Age exploitation disguised as "hustle culture"
Real talk: If your company is advertising 70+ hour work weeks as a feature, you're part of the problem. We didn't survive a pandemic just to forget every lesson about work-life balance for the sake of some exec's third yacht.
If you're feeling the cognitive dissonance of working in tech right now, you're not alone.
What's your take? Are they just two old guys yelling at clouds, or are these legitimate concerns about where our industry is headed?
