The Wake Up X Solutions is not just a podcast. It is a stand against waiting for permission, and an invitation to build something that outlasts you. For your business. For your career. For the people coming up behind you.
"Helping people create their own legacy, instead of watching and waiting on others to make this world a better place."
To bridge the gap between the classroom and the real world, connecting aspiring and entry-level professionals with the CISOs, founders, and practitioners who have actually lived it. The right conversation at the right time is the best education there is.
A community where nobody breaks in alone, and where the road from entry-level to leadership is built out of mentorship and access rather than credentials alone. One connected California network linking Sacramento, the Bay Area, and Southern California.
Cybersecurity is a business problem long before it is a technical one. Through ISACA Sacramento, ISC2, and the work beyond them, we are closing the digital divide and building real economic pathways into tech for communities that rarely get offered one.
Small business strategy, AI adoption, closing the digital divide, building something that lasts.
