Join us on the Cyber Coffee Hour as we welcome Damone Brown, a former US Army Green Beret and Special Forces Combat Diver with a remarkable journey. From enlisting after 9/11 to earning the Ranger Tab and receiving combat medals, Brown's military career is a testament to his resilience and dedication. Now the CEO of Olive Drab Technologies and a chaplain for the Maryland Defense Force, he shares insights from his book "Black People Can't Swim," which chronicles his experiences in Special Forces training. With multiple deployments, a traumatic brain injury, and roles in asymmetric warfare, Brown's story is one of overcoming obstacles and inspiring others. Tune in as we explore his transition from decorated soldier to author and business leader, all while pursuing a Ph.D. and balancing family life in the DC metro area.

The Cyber Coffee Hour comprises Dr. Joseph J. Burt-Miller Jr. and Alfredzo B. Nash Jr., two cyber experts from Mount Vernon, NY, who love good coffee and conversation. They have surveyed the cyber podcast landscape and want to see a change. The perspective of those getting started in their journey must be emphasized for shows featuring the world's CIOs, CISOs, and CTOs.
The mission of the Cyber Coffee Hour intentionally features guests of all stages of the cyber journey. Still, it prioritizes the voices undergoing gatekeeping, racism, and other biases while trying to make their way into the cybersecurity practicum. The Cyber Coffee Hour uniquely spreads the cybersecurity gospel by featuring guests with and without a cybersecurity background, with cybersecurity as the common denominator.
