In this episode of CYBR.Minded, Dr. Dustin Sachs sits down with Joshua Copeland, cybersecurity leader, educator, and author of Unpopular Opinion, to challenge conventional thinking about discipline, leadership, and the human side of cybersecurity.
The conversation explores why cognitive diversity and neurodiversity can be powerful advantages, how rigid hiring practices overlook valuable talent, and why mastering cybersecurity fundamentals matters more than chasing the latest technology trends.
