Danny Akacki is just a storyteller perpetually looking for a stage. He loves nothing more than attending conferences, giving talks, writing blogs, and finding new ways to reach as many people as he can to educate about cybersecurity. For him, there is no greater satisfaction than community building.
Danny has been fortunate enough to spend his career in Defense, learning from some of the best in the business, including teams at Mandiant, GE capital & most recently as a Technology Advocate with Splunk. He loves what he does and the people he gets to do it with.
In this episode, we discuss his mental health journey, adjusting to a new role during COVID-19, finding outlets for stress release, if mental health issues are worse in cybersecurity, neurodiversity, PTSD, and so much more.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
