From Palm Pilot to Powerhouse – How Caitlin Sarian Hacked the Algorithm of Influence

What happens when you mix cybersecurity, social impact, and unapologetic authenticity? You get Caitlin Sarian—engineer, content creator, and the founder of Cybersecurity Girl, a platform with millions of followers and one very clear mission: make cybersecurity human.

In this episode, Caitlin and I talk about:

• The accidental viral moment that launched her media empire

• Why she kept her identity secret for over a year

• How she went from “I’m not a man or a mechanic” to a master’s in engineering

• Why most diversity initiatives are broken—and how to actually level the playing field

• The underrated power of being uncomfortable (on purpose)

We also go deep on generational parenting, emotional attachments to robots, and what it really means to take ownership in a digital age.

🔥 Real talk: Caitlin didn’t set out to be famous. She set out to help—and that’s exactly why she’s crushing it.

Her superpower? Relentless follow-through. Zero fluff. All heart.

🎧 Whether you’re a leader in tech, a parent navigating uncertainty, or a creative waiting to press "post," this one’s for you.
