JR Cunningham, CISO at Nuspire, joins the show to talk about why cybersecurity isn't just another IT job - mentally, it's more like being a first responder. George K and George A talk to JR about: 🤔 Why we should consider cyber teams like first responders (not just IT staff) 😵‍💫 The unique mental health challenges of incident response 💪 Building cultures where defenders can actually take care of themselves 🧠 Why your IR plan needs to consider the human element 💬 "The higher up you go in security, the more you get the sh*t kicked out of you. Most professions get easier - ours gets harder." Security leaders - how are you building support systems for your defenders? ———— 👊⚡️BECOME A SHOW SUPPORTER https://ko-fi.com/bareknucklesbrasstacks For as little as $1 a month, you can support the show and get exclusive member benefits, or send a one-time gift!

There’s a lot of noise in the world of technology talk, but Bare Knuckles and Brass Tacks cuts through it with a focus on the people behind the products and the societal currents shaping our digital landscape. Hosts George K and George A steer conversations that are less about specs and hype, and more about real-world consequences. You’ll hear them dig into topics like the messy rollout of new AI tools, the often-invisible backbone of digital infrastructure, and why communities adopt or reject certain technologies. This podcast regularly features guests from various fields who offer unvarnished opinions on what’s genuinely functional and what’s fundamentally flawed in our tech-saturated lives. The discussions move beyond simple commentary to challenge the standard narratives promoted by the tech industry, examining the cultural and social ripples of every new development. It’s a show for anyone who feels that technology coverage often misses the human element-the frustrations, the adaptations, and the ethical dilemmas. Tune in for a grounded, critical, and consistently engaging dialogue that connects the dots between code and culture. This production from BKBT Productions lives up to its name, getting down to the brass tacks of how technology is built and used, with a bare-knuckle honesty that’s increasingly rare.
