This week Sam and Michael sit down with Allthenticate CEO & founder - and returning HOU.SEC.CON. speaker - Chad Spensky! They discuss why he moved his company halfway across the country to Houston (and why more startups should consider Houston!), the need for less passwords, and his talk at this year’s conference.
