LIVE from Cyber Marketing Con: What "Community" Really Means for Both Practitioners & Vendors

Author: BKBT Productions January 6, 2025 Duration: 31:58
"Community" is getting bandied about a lot. What does it really mean, for both cybersecurity vendors and practitioners? This week's episode is a roundtable discussion recorded LIVE at Cyber Marketing Con in December 2024! The panel features Dani Woolf, Ben Siegel, Bronwen Hudson, Elliot Volkman, and BKBT's George K.  Some key topics covered: * Community is not something you can just spend money on. * Successful communities are affecting change. * You can't expect instant ROI from community building. * Be passionate about your community's mission. * Listen to your community; they will guide you. * Communities are about adding value, not extracting. ———— 👊⚡️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.
