Today's episode is with Vishal Amin, former Marine F/A-18 Aviator and current Microsoft Cloud Technology consultant with the Patriot Consulting Technology Group.

Vishal focuses on securing data for organizations, ensuring their private and sensitive business information doesn't end up in the hands of the wrong people.

Vishal's passion for data security and cloud systems comes from a very personal experience he went through on the active duty following a major data breach with the Office of Personnel Management. When his data was compromised, he felt first hand the effect that can have on your life, career, as well as personal security concerns.

We explore his motivations for pursuing the career he's crafted for himself, where he stumbled along the way, and his advice for pushing through failure as a necessary step on the road to success.
