Huge Fan of SE
Love what you guys do and stand for. I’ve been a fan since 2019 and episode 210 was amazing. It inspired me to write a review, buy the book sapiens, and download the app. My close friends and family tell me I have a way with people and I’ve never encountered before they talk about your podcast all the time and I believe that I would make a great SE. I’m coming to the end of a 20 year USCG career. How would one be able to get involved in this field? Thank You please keep up the hard work Marco

Bringing the Human to Technology
The Social Engineer Podcast (and movement) brings it back to the human element. This is critical as we see more and more the rise of AI/ML and more tech that takes humans out of the equation. Humans are and will always be there, and we need to acknowledge that! Keep it up!
