In this episode, Zoe is back with a one-on-one with Troy Hunt. He is the founder of the pivotal cybersecurity resource “Have I Been Pwned”, the Microsoft regional director, MVP, Pluralsight instructor, and an active member of the security community.

Troy shares his unexpected journey from aspiring pilot to tech influencer, revealing how a simple blog post evolved into a career-defining move. He discusses the power of public contributions to Stack Overflow, user group attendance, and open-source code repositories in establishing credibility in the tech world.

We delve into the importance of communication skills, not just in tech but in life, and how blogging tests one’s knowledge. We also touch on the challenges of self-employment, the balance between work and personal life, and the lessons learned from mistakes.

Don’t miss this candid conversation that explores the intersections of tech, career growth, and the personal journeys that shape us.
