Hello, world. Welcome to discover your talent, do what you love. I'm your host, Don Hutchison.

Every Tuesday, I interview someone from around the world who's discovered their talents to do work they love to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.

On Fridays, I interview an individual with many years of experience from one of the most popular or interesting occupations or professions who shares an insider's look at what it's really like to do what they do.

Today I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Patrick Greenwood, and our topic, A Day in the Life,

what's it really like to be a cybersecurity and technology expert?

Welcome, Patrick.

Thank you very much for having me done.

It's our pleasure. Patrick, are you using your talents doing work that you love?

Very much so. I've been in the cyberspace almost 28 years, and as many people that joined the cybersecurity industry, dating back in before the 1980s, we all have some very, very interesting stories to tell for sure.

Good, good. Well, we're going to dive into all of that. Patrick Greenwood is an avid cyclist,

author, coffee brand creator, veteran, and advocate for kids in Vietnam. After a long career

in the military, he embarked on a 25-year-long career and information technology.

Many of his inspirations for writing came from his business travels to Asian countries.

A true believer in listening to one's passion, he began writing in early 2020, based on several

trips he made while cycling in various countries.

In his first novel, Sunrise in

Saigon, Patrick draws upon several non-fictional events that happened in Vietnam. Well, Patrick,

before we get into your story, your backstory, take just a couple of minutes and tell our list

around the world projects that you're working on right now in the present that have you excited and

motivated. Just a couple of minutes.

Well, obviously, the books at Sunrise and Saigon coming out, has been a very big project

that I've worked on for quite some time.
