THE Security Insights Show Summer Break!
"Give me the MIC. If it's loud I'll will blow it, if not, then into the crowd I'll throw it." - Eric B. and Rakim.
Howdy, Howdy, Podcast family. Yet another week has BLOWN by. We were like WOW, September is almost upon us! Never the one to sit idle, we will start show planning next month so we can reappear like magic in October. The ideas are starting to flow and before you know it will be time for the show. You see what we did there. LOL. Everyone please continue to enjoy not having to hear our annoying voices because we shall return to re-issue out ear worms.
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:
Admitting that “I don’t know” at least once a day will make you a better person.
Rod Rants:
Try to define yourself by what you love and embrace, rather than what you hate and refuse.
Brodie Babbles:
The best gardening advice: find what you can grow well and grow lots and lots of it.
Frank’s Fumbles:
Never hesitate to invest in yourself—to pay for a class, a course, a new skill. These modest expenditures pay outsized dividends.
