In episode 74 of the We Hack Purple Podcast, host Tanya Janca talks to guest Ray Espinoza from Inspectiv! During the podcast we honed in on how to build a positive security culture, which has several important ingredients; Security Champions, Empathy, explaining ‘the why’, sharing information in both technical and non technical formats, and storytelling! We talked about training, we talked about metrics, we talked about how to get your point across in an effective way, without scaring people’s pants off. If you want to hear about creating a successful security champions programs, how to ‘win’ more often, and what pitfalls to avoid, this episode is especially helpful!

We ended the conversation with several calls to action for audience members abounding including more people in cyber. Young people, old people, new-to-cyber people, every race of people, every gender; we really mean EVERYONE. Ray also (very generously) offered listeners to connect with him online so he could help them find mentors and meet people. This episode was great!
