A Hacker's Surf Journey: Busting Stereotypes and Embracing Identity

Maddie Stone, a cybersecurity researcher and hacker, discusses her surf journey, her experience working in the tech industry,  and her recent decision to relocate to Central America. We chat about the culture in both tech and surfing, stereotypes, the challenges Maddie faced as someone who identifies as a plus-size female, and how she strived to embrace her own style and identity. Maddie's story emphasizes the importance of finding a supportive community, standing up for yourself, embracing your idiosyncrasies and working hard.
