Post by Michael McLaughlin

I remember standing on a track in my hometown, watching F-16s fly combat air patrol over Pittsburgh on September 11, 2001. That moment changed everything. It turned my ambitions outward and put me on a path to the United States Naval Academy, Naval Intelligence, U.S. Cyber Command, and eventually a career at the intersection of cybersecurity law and national security policy. I had the pleasure of sharing that story — and a lot more — with Bob Fabien "BZ" Zinga on the Leadership & Success Podcast with Coach BZ. We covered: --The full scope of cyber warfare and the ongoing war raging in our networks --How China and Russia exploit cyberspace far below the threshold of armed conflict --Why data provenance is THE defining national security challenge of the AI era --AI Training Data Bill of Materials (AI-TDBOM), and why Congress needs to mandate it for critical infrastructure --Leadership lessons from nearly 20 years in the Navy (and what I'd tell my 17-year-old self) Bob is a Maxwell Leadership certified coach, a fellow information warfare officer, and a genuinely excellent host. If you're not already following his work, you should be.
