Episode Description

If we want to win the next fight, we have to outlearn first.

This week, Tyler sits down with Gen. Tom Copinger-Symes, former Deputy Commander of UK’s Cyber & Specialist Command (CSOC), to talk about the hard shift from infantry officer to cyber leader — and what that journey reveals about where defense is behind.

  • Industrial-age systems in an information-age world
  • Why cyber and electronic warfare are decisive
  • Why recruitment is a flow problem, not a patriotism problem
  • The cognitive battlefield shaping outcomes every day
  • And what dialing up risk really means

No backbone → no speed.

No speed → no advantage.
