In this talk, Rob shares a simple process he has developed for first learning any topic quickly, and then diving deep into the path of mastery.A rabid learner, Rob has applied this process to many things over the past 30+ years, including martial arts, computers & electronics, playing the harmonica, speed solving the rubik’s cube, and even learning how to grow and develop bonsai trees. He will explain and demonstrate some of the many ways that each of these things are connected, and provide examples for how this approach can be applied to nearly anything else.This talk is a rumination and meditation on the nature of learning. Attendees will learn how to apply the general learning process to anything they might want to master.Most important, Rob will relate this back to security, and will explain why the ways that we teach people about security MUST reflect this understanding, no matter what their role in the organization
