He was once named a “World-Class Hacker” on the National Geographic series "Breakthrough Cyber-Terror," but he prefers the simpler title of Hacker, Helper, and Human. In this episode, Jayson joins Carlton Fields P.A.’s Jack Clabby and KnowBe4’s VP of Remote Publishing Teams Kayley Melton to talk about his journey of self-discovery that led him from being an award-winning janitor at McDonald's to one of the world’s most infamous ethical hackers.

He also shares extraordinary stories of how he gained entry into some of the hardest-to-access cyber targets in the world. To start off the show, Jack and Kayley talk about the celebrity that’s topping the Hacker Celebrity Hot List as the celeb whose name is used most by cybercriminals when creating online scams.
