In this episode, Kelly Freear, a vibrant and defiant voice in the cybersecurity realm, unpacks her unique path from the echoing halls of a call center to the cutting-edge cybersecurity landscape at BT. Kelly isn't your average expert; she's an ISO 27001 enthusiast, an "amateur spewer of nonsense," and a torchbearer for underrepresented voices in tech. Living with ADHD, EUPD, and dyslexia, Kelly transforms what some might see as hurdles into her superpowers, making her one of the industry's most relatable and inspiring figures.
Kelly's tale is one of tenacity and transformation, beginning with a serendipitous encounter with a BT advertisement that led her to Capslock. In this unusually diverse training cohort, she stood out not just for being one of the few women but for being one who challenges the status quo. In this riveting conversation, Kelly, Russ, and Maurice discuss the stark realities and daily challenges women and diverse individuals face in a traditionally male-dominated field. They delve into the nuances of imposter syndrome, the dire need for diverse role models, and the transformative power of proper training and inclusivity in the workplace.
But it's not all serious—true to the spirit of the 'Crazy People Podcast,' there's a delightful mix of quirky anecdotes and unexpected twists, ensuring that listeners are not just inspired, but also thoroughly entertained and profoundly moved.
So, plug in, prepare to be inspired, and maybe even find a little bit of your own unconventional path in Kelly's story. This episode is a beacon for anyone looking to break barriers and forge paths in the most needed spaces.
