Jack Rhysider is the creator and host of Darknet Diaries, an award-winning Podcast covering 'true-stories from the dark-side of the internet'. If you're in Cyber Security there's no doubt you would have heard of Jack's show and we were very lucky to have Jack talk to us about where and how his career as a Content Creator started and how it's developed over time. Also, we explored with Jack his InfoSec journey, talking about his education and employment background and how those skills really contributed to his success today.
I loved how open Jack is with sharing his story, talking not only about his personal journey, but sharing the tools, methods and insights into what really makes a podcast successful. Jack also maintains an excellent blog-site where he shares in-depth articles which may just help you make it to the big-time too.
Thank you Jack for sharing your journey; it was a real fascinating insight!
