Yeah.
Yeah. And we, as much as we're technical, I think OT requires us to understand people in process. How are they working with the equipment that they're using? Because they're going to circumvent it anyways, you know, if they have to. I've heard so many stories, even on air, about... Users doing silly things around OT stuff.
And, and it's, it's, I think that's something that we all share is we've all got those stories of, wow, that happened. Okay. Uh, and we also are used to running small budgets, bubblegum and shoestring type operations. We get that, you know, and, um, I think that's a lot what separates us from the I.T.
side of the house, too, because I mean, they don't always get the biggest budgets either, but they get a little bit more than we do because of infrastructure. And I think that's something that's interesting. And I've been having this conversation a lot in the food space, especially with food safety people. When are we going to make food safety not a cost center, but a profit opportunity center?
And when are we going to take cybersecurity and do the same thing? And I said, it's going to take a lot of people probably
you know get nil before that happens and i don't mean to be mean i don't it's just realistic to say it's just real and i hope we as ot people we all kind of clench a little bit because we don't want that because we know how devastating it could be if something happened no matter what sector you're in and it's the local community that's going to suffer the most
The site, the people around that site will be the ones that will suffer the burden. And I think that's something I always think about. I did a little investigation on your state, Mike, because I was like, I know there's a lot of food and ag there. There has to be. You guys are actually a big producer of turkeys. I know, right?
You guys actually produce a lot of turkeys and I didn't either because I, this again, why would I know that? I know the self's big on poultry, but I didn't specifically know turkeys for you.
Yeah. Chicken's big, but like turkeys are bigger for you. So, which is hilarious because turkeys are bigger. Ha ha, pun. So, you know, you probably can't you wouldn't have to go too far away from where you live really to see the agriculture and state. I mean, I know when you drive up and down, you see quite a bit of it anyways.
And it's it's amazing how much agriculture is tucked into where we live. But we just ignore it, you know, because it's just part of the infrastructure around us. It's not it's like a power line. Do you really see your I mean, I we all probably notice power lines because we're paying attention to that kind of stuff. But yeah.
We don't really pay attention to like a farm, you know, when we go by it or what crop is in the field. And I always wonder like that. Now I'm like, what crop is that? Oh, is that what is this? You know, or I get excited because I'm like, hey, they're moving. The other day we were driving up to the new house and it's in an agricultural space now, which I'm so excited for.
We saw a couple of columbines going down the street. They were moving them between fields. And I was like, yeah. And it was it was it was a fun moment.
Yeah. Yeah.
But yeah, so turkeys. So when you go next time you go to the store, when you're having turkey, you can think, yes, probably came from my state. That's just pretty cool. I think that local community aspect is super important, especially since I know you do a lot with, you know, in your state, in state and around that particular part of the South.
And I think it's important to know what's going on in your state. And I'm excited to have more conversations on local levels as well as national and international. I think sometimes we focus too much on the larger, bigger problems. We boil that ocean, but we really just need to sit down and make tea or pot chocolate or whatever your drink of choice is. And I think that's super important.
So I love what we're doing with B-Sides because it makes it local and personal because it's us.
It's not super serious, the event. Like, it's serious. Like, we're there. But, like, it doesn't have to take itself seriously. It's just a bunch of people getting together, talking and learning really cool things and or relearning things.
Well, yeah, I mean, like our food system, we both have taken that for granted for sure.
Yeah, and I love it that you've carried it forward to help other people get down their journey as well, whether it's your YouTube channel or your posts online or any of that stuff. I think that constant dialogue and making a friendly space for people to land is super important. I always send people towards your YouTube channel when they're like, hey, how can I learn more about this?
I'm like, Mike has made 96 hours worth of content. Enjoy. For free.
