DtR Episode 56 - Understanding the [InfoSec] Elephant

Every once in a while this podcast has a guest who makes us truly feel blessed to be doing this - Rob Dubois is one of those people. If you don't know anything about Rob, go read his website, listen to this podcast and check out his book. He is a real American hero, a fantastic human being, and a true patriot. On behalf of James and I - I want to extend a hearty thank you for the time Rob spent, and wisdom he's imparted.

Guest

• Rob Dubois ( @RobDubois ) - Rob is currently best-known for his book "Powerful Peace - A Navy SEAL's Lessons on Peace from a Lifetime at War". I can't possibly do Rob justice but to call him a true, powerful, "badass"... check him, his book, and his powerful message out for yourself on his blog SEAL of Peace.
