Episode 100 brings it back to where it all started!
Jason Torey is a retired Navy SEAL Master Chief, co-founder of QLAD, and the man who gave Ryan Parrott the nickname “Birdman” after an IED blast in Iraq. He has been a leader, mentor, and force for mission clarity from the battlefield to the boardroom.
In this episode, Jason shares what he learned from 26 years in the Teams and how he carried that into the world of tech and cybersecurity. He breaks down how QLAD is securing data while it is being used, not just in transit or at rest. The conversation digs into foreign supply chain threats, national defense, leadership without ego, and how to build something that actually protects what matters.
Jason also reflects on his father’s legacy as a Vietnam combat veteran and the quiet strength that shaped his life.
