A Beginner’s Guide To Security Without The Jargon

Most tech talk feels like it was written for someone else. We’re changing that with a simple promise: short, story-driven breakdowns of security and technology that swap jargon and fear for clarity you can act on. One topic, one takeaway, ten minutes or less built for the 99% who use tech every day and want to feel confident, not overwhelmed.

We lay out how the system actually behaves, not just what the headlines scream. You’ll hear why security fails less from lack of intelligence and more from confusing systems, clashing incentives, and bad explanations. We unpack cybersecurity, identity, AI, breaches, and risk with plain words, concrete examples, and zero condescension. The goal isn’t to make you a specialist; it’s to make you dangerously clear on the basics clear enough to explain a concept to someone else, spot nonsense when you hear it, and make better decisions without panic.

This show runs on your questions. If you’ve ever thought, “I wish someone would just explain this,” that’s our cue. Send what confuses you MFA, passkeys, phishing, data leaks, cloud trust and we’ll turn it into a crisp walkthrough with one actionable takeaway. Expect practical guidance you can use right away: simple steps to reduce risk, a framework for reading scary headlines, and language that helps your team align on what matters.
