Incident Response One Pot Wonder with Robert Pace

What makes this conversation different? Robert doesn't just talk cybersecurity leadership - he connects it to life. From his days as high school class president to his unexpected pivot from law to engineering to the C-suite, Robert's journey reveals how process thinking and human connection drive effective security leadership. Watch Robert tackle the tough questions while cooking: Why he compares boardroom pressure to "high heat" in the kitchen His "three feet of water" philosophy for handling crisis moments The "wheels on chair" theory that explains CISO job insecurity How he built teams using "Velcro on the seats" approach Why Zero Trust buzzwords might be hurting more than helping Robert also opens up about writing "I Understand...You Forgot to Say Goodbye" - his deeply personal book about his mother's journey with Alzheimer's - and how it shaped his leadership approach. The cooking parallel runs deeper than you'd expect. Just like his one-pot wonder combines chicken, sausage, rice, and vegetables into something cohesive, Robert's leadership philosophy blends technical expertise, process discipline, emotional intelligence, and genuine care for people. This is networking reimagined. No elevator pitches. No vendor presentations. Just authentic conversation over a shared meal that reveals the human being behind the title.
