But before the podcast, before the half-million downloads per episode, and before the NSA came knocking with stories of their own—Jack was just another network engineer trying to figure things out.In this episode, we dive into Jack’s journey from college confusion to CCNA-certified clarity, and how that one certification completely changed the trajectory of his career. We talk about his time working with Cisco gear, what it felt like to finally find his place in tech, and the burnout that led him to chase something more creative.This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about the grind, the growth, and the real-life path that turned a quiet engineer into one of the most respected voices in cybersecurity storytelling. Whether you’re breaking into IT, pivoting into security, or just love great stories—this one’s for you.// Jack's SOCIAL //YouTube:  @JackRhysider  Darknet Diaries Website : https://darknetdiaries.comTwitter/X: https://x.com/JackRhysider 🔗 Don’t wait—click here to start your tech career journey: https://thebeardeditdad.com/itcareeraccelerator/Exclusive Career Resources✅ Weekly Insider Tips: https://thebeardeditdad.ck.page/55f710292b🎧Listen to The I.T.
