The Cyber Coffee Hour comprises Dr. Joseph J. Burt-Miller Jr. and Alfredzo B. Nash Jr., two cyber experts from Mount Vernon, NY, who love good coffee and conversation. They have surveyed the cyber podcast landscape and want to see a change. The perspective of those getting started in their journey must be emphasized for shows featuring the world’s CIOs, CISOs, and CTOs. 

The mission of the Cyber Coffee Hour is to feature guests at all stages of the cyber journey. Still, it prioritizes the voices of those who are undergoing gatekeeping, racism, and other biases while trying to make their way into the cybersecurity practicum. The Cyber Coffee Hour uniquely spreads the cybersecurity gospel by featuring guests with and without a cybersecurity background, with cybersecurity as the common denominator.
