Joseph Mark Fitzner tells an unusual story about how he navigated life from home schooling to a career into cybersecurity. His Journey into Cybersecurity highlights the fact that not one person’s journey is ever the same and that anyone can make it in cyber if they really want to.
Just like my previous guests, you’ll discover his generous mindset and intentional effort to share his experience, perspective and resources with any young student searching for their path or at least their next step.
What inspires me speaking with Mark, and from previously working with him, is his growth mindset. I think it’s amazing how he continues to raise the bar for himself, sets and achieves new goals while keeping his mind open to any new opportunities. In cyber, continued learning and investment in yourself is a must. And there are many different roles one can play during their career in cyber.
Another admirable trait that Mark demonstrates is a healthy dose of humility. It’s the fuel to continued growth and also the quality of a great teacher. Something tells me that Mark will teach many students in his professional career ahead. I personally learned so much from Mark and he always took the time to patiently explain the intricacies of cybersecurity.
I hope you will enjoy my chat with Mark and that he will move you to pursue your purpose in cyber and to use the valuable lessons and resources he shares with us. And don’t forget to pay it forward like Mark does.
