Cybersecurity Career Speedrun

​Breaking into IT or cybersecurity can feel overwhelming. Too many paths, too much noise, and not enough clarity on what actually works.

​In this episode of Simply Cyber Firesides, host Gerald Auger, Ph.D. sits down with Dakota Snow, also known as The Bearded I.T. Dad, for a fast paced and practical conversation focused on accelerating your tech and cyber career.

​Dakota creates content and resources designed to help people land their first IT role, transition into cybersecurity, and stand out to recruiters and hiring managers. Through his YouTube channel, career coaching programs, and weekly newsletter, he focuses on real world guidance, mindset, and execution rather than theory.
