Former Army veteran and cybersecurity strategist Nia Luckey joins Joey Pinz Conversations live at Cyber Bay 2025 to explore how calm, creativity, and courage intersect in today’s fast-moving digital world.
From 13 years in the U.S. Army to leading major security operations for Cisco, JSOC, and AT&T, Nia reveals how adaptability, humility, and trust fuel progress in both tech and life. She reflects on her TEDx Sugar Creek journey, turning raw burnout into a message that now inspires thousands.
We dive into:
1️⃣ How her military mindset evolved into collaborative cybersecurity leadership
2️⃣ Why AI and quantum bring both opportunity and risk
3️⃣ The life lessons behind her motto — “Choose your hard.”
Nia reminds us that real success starts with stillness, service, and consistent action — whether hiking mountain peaks or leading global security teams.
🔥 Insightful. Grounded. Human.
🎧 Recorded live in Tampa at Cyber Bay 2025.
