Exploring the Analog and Digital Worlds with Jack Urban In this episode, I sit down with Jack Urban, Director of Engineering at MindForge and an information security analyst. But that’s just one side of his story. Jack also has a deep passion for photography, which he sees as a way to connect with the world beyond the digital.
We dive into Jack's journey from the abstract world of cybersecurity to the introspective art of photography. He shares how his portrait and documentary work helps him understand human connection while reflecting on how digital photography influences our perception of reality. On the flip side, we explore the human-centric nature of cybersecurity—how trust, ethics, and intent shape our online lives, the challenges of protecting a digital world, and what it all means for the rest of us.
It’s a fascinating conversation about the intersection of creativity and technology and how Jack balances two very different yet complementary passions.
