Ep. 94: David Jost, VP of Cybersecurity at Amplix and Founder of The Cyber Resilience Tour

David Jost, Vice President of Cybersecurity at Amplix and Founder of The Cyber Resilience Tour, joins host Karina Jimenez to reflect on a career spanning media, software, technology, growth, and cybersecurity, connected by a constant attraction to change and transformation. David shares why he believes in disrupting yourself before comfort turns into stagnation, how curiosity can turn uncertainty into excitement, and why some of the most valuable ideas come from taking what you have learned in one environment and applying it somewhere new. He also explains how his philosophy that “how you do anything is how you do everything” shapes the way he leads, builds relationships, and pays it forward to others. David and Karina also explore what leaders need to preserve as AI becomes more embedded in how we work, from authenticity and human judgment to the ability to challenge technology instead of simply accepting its output. He shares why responsible AI adoption should begin with the problem or outcome rather than the technology itself, and why guardrails matter as AI agents become more capable. For the next generation, David’s advice is to avoid overscripting your career, ask better questions, stay open to reinvention, and be real. The uncomfortable moments, unexpected turns, and things you have not figured out yet may be exactly what lead you toward what comes next.
