Episode #108 - From the Frontlines to Firewalls: Veterans in Cybersecurity

This week, Zach and Lauro are joined by Milton Chavez, as all three guests have one unique connection - they're all U.S. Army Veterans that have made the post-military transition to the Cybersecurity sector. They discuss what life is like making the jump from a military background to the cybersecurity industry, and tips for current soldiers to make the same transition when they hang up the uniform.
