#8. Video Games Always Lead to a Great Career, That's a Fact with Dan Frye

May 7, 2022
01:31:12

Dan has gone from Network Engineer -> CISO -> CEO and Founder with some wild stories to go with it. 

In this episode, we go over:

  • Rocketansky’s pre-seed fundraising.
  • Journey from Network Engineer to CISO to Founder.
  • Dan’s hobby of building a Caterham car from scratch!

Dan Frye has had his eyes on cyber security since the early 2000s. So, it was no surprise when he started a company based on securing people working outside the office. No, the real surprise came when COVID hit! 

When he’s not running a company, he’s running marathons and building cars out of a box… yeah, he really did that.
