Episode 57

Episode 57 - Michael Argast - Co-founder & CEO at Kobalt

Welcome to Cyber Inspiration Podcast, you may be familiar with me as Co-host of the Security Architecture Podcast, which I started with Dmitry Raidman CTO of Cybeats in 2020.

From the Episode:

  • Do less stuff yourself. Build a team that is capable of doing those things. Make sure that team has a strong alignment of purpose and mission, and they have the tools necessary to succeed and get the hell out of their way, or give them the support they need.
  • I don't know that I would make any significant changes because the journey is part of the reward.
  • The reality is every founder is gonna have dark days. I'd say my darkest days were probably like seven months of the business where I'm like, I know if this is gonna be a thing
