Casey Ellis has a passion for hackers, but hackers who do good. Casey was ahead of the game in establishing the company, and in doing so solved some real threats of companies personal and professional information from being breached. *The focus for Casey was to be able to make the internet safer by finding problems and weaknesses before they arise. To do this, casey built a world class network of hackers who have both skill and character to do the job well.* (Maybe take those sentences out if too long) On this episode, you’ll hear Casey's story of how he made some really tough decisions to be able to prioritise the things that matter. To build a strong business while also keeping strong family values and work/life balance. He makes it sound easy, but it would have taken so much humility and courage to do so.
