In this episode of The Hacker’s Cache, Kyser Clark sits down with seasoned penetration tester Kyle Hoehn to unpack the journey from a curious teen experimenting online to a full time professional in offensive security. Kyle shares how early exposure to computer tinkering and real world troubleshooting shaped his path, why foundational IT knowledge still separates strong hackers from the rest, and what certifications actually helped him level up. We also explore the realities of learning cybersecurity today, navigating burnout, staying sharp while the AI wave reshapes the industry, and the role of passion and persistence in building a hacker career that lasts. If you want an honest look at how real pentesters grow, adapt, and thrive, this episode is for you. Subscribe to keep sharpening your edge in ethical hacking and cybersecurity.
