Now you can take the P-CSO on your iPod with you. This is great news, so now I can haunt you in your car, on an airplane, or even when you are running. Although since all of the podcasts are 6-7 minutes, it wouldn't be much of a run I guess.

To get the podcast, click this link and then it should direct you to iTunes to subscribe to the podcast. Screenshot of what you should see is below.

 

 

In this week's show I talk about getting facetime without feeling like you are banging your head against the wall. Basically a key part of Step #1 and in a broader perspective, your success as a CSO is about building relationships with the senior team and understand what is important to them. How do you do this, when they are pretty busy and don't really want to spend any time with you?

I map out a 3 step process (and hopefully you only need two steps) to get on their calendar and also talk about the need for persistence. The podcast runs for 6:05.

Music this week is (of course), the Jungle intro and Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up" to send you on your merry way.

Welcome to the Inaugural Pragmatic CSO Podcast. In today's show, I talk a bit about:

1. Why I am doing a podcast (and what to expect)
   
2. The 12-step Pragmatic CSO methodology
3. Why it's tough to be a security professional nowadays
4. A message of hope

Check it out and since this is the first edition, let me know what you think. I'm definitely open to comments relative to how to make the show better.
