We've all been there – heads down, building, innovating, leading teams through the ever-accelerating landscape of technology and cybersecurity. For many of us, this journey began decades ago, shaping not just our careers, but the very field we work in and the fabric of the organisations we serve. But what happens when the time comes to look beyond the daily grind? What does it mean to "leave well"?
Today, we're thrilled to announce a new podcast from the Distilling Security Network designed to explore these crucial, infrequently-discussed questions: The Final Act.
The Final Act isn't just about hanging up your boots. It’s about understanding the profound implications of leadership transition in fields that grew up around us. If you're a seasoned tech or security leader, you know your fingerprints are all over the systems, the culture, and the strategy of your organisation. How do you prepare for your departure in a way that truly sets your successors up for success?
Our intent with this podcast is to provide a much-needed chronicle to serve as guide for current and aspiring leaders who are contemplating the "next chapter" of their careers, to capture the urgency and the impact of the role, and the imperatives that come along with that.
Each episode of The Final Act will feature an in-depth interview with current and former leaders from across the technology and infosec space. We'll hear their candid stories, their successes, their regrets, and their practical advice on navigating career transitions with grace, foresight, and influence. We'll also invite other guests to provide broader perspectives on leadership, career development, and life after the traditional office.
It's about hearing and learning from those who have walked the path, or are currently walking it, and equipping the next wave of leaders with the insights they need to carry the torch forward. And it's about making sure we leave behind a field that's ready for the next generation, and a next generation that's ready for the field.
The Final Act is more than a podcast; it's a conversation about the future of leadership, built on the foundations of the past. It’s about ensuring that the incredible wisdom accumulated over decades isn't lost but leveraged for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
The first episode of The Final Act will be launching soon!
