Batten Down Dialogues: Recent Episodes
Alex Stroud
From technology CTO's to Navy Seals to everyday individuals, Batten Down Dialogues covers a wide range of informative and eye-opening security topics, stories, and insights that will make you re-think your state of security.
For this week’s episode, I am excited to have Ben Green join me in conversation. Ben Green is a marketing executive, turned startup founder, with his new dog behavior training platform called Gentle Beasts. Ben has close to a decade working in marketing on consumer tech startups, and for the past year, has been leading Batten’s marketing channels.
Given the importance of online tracking and data collection for optimizing digital marketing campaigns, Ben offers a unique perspective on online privacy and how it relates to the larger viability of companies needing to reach their target customers. I hope you enjoy it.
Listen in as Alex talks to Bob Newman, former Navy SEAL about self-reliance and survival, the tools and skills you'll need to be safe, and ways to help your neighbors and community.
