I deeply apologize for disrupting your regularly scheduled broadcast. Just a quick note that I do not have a Patreon or ads on my blog to make money. I pay for my conference, volunteering, clinics, and speaking at community events and universities out of pocket. It’s super important and I love doing it!

If you do want to help me afford to do this stuff more, and you’re positioned in such a way to do it, I do speak commercially at corporate events and company educational programs. I’ve been told I’m even pretty good at it! 🤷🏻‍♀️🍸 If you are looking for a speaker on cybersecurity, careers in the field, or the security of critical infrastructure, I am with an agency (Leading Authorities DC) and that is how I pay for a lot of the other community stuff that I do. Leaving Twitter has deeply limited my marketing ability to reach this audience. Please consider keeping me in mind next year!
