My guest this time is OSINT Gremlin Lindsey Yagi-Hatake she is new to Cyber but has made a quick name for herself. She tells he story of laying everything on the line to face her anxiety and going to her first Con to finding her tribe in Cyber. And then ultimately it leading to her first official role in Cyber. We also talk about her survival and escaping an abusive marriage and starting life over and the struggles of that. We discuss going to your first con as an Autistic to overcoming fears and growing to spite that inside voice telling you that you are not good enough. This is one of those chats that will resonate with many people! Lindsey is a perfect example of what you can accomplish if you never quit trying.
