From Dorm Room to Boardroom: Life lessons in leading from the front

In this episode with Saket Modi, we explore:

  • How a college dorm-room hacker turned an idea into a global cybersecurity company

  • The surprising way he landed his first customers (hint: it involved live hacks)

  • Why he once turned down a multimillion-dollar deal—and why it was the best decision

  • His unconventional approach to learning (including hiring a PhD tutor just for himself)

  • The leadership principle he lives by: never ask your team to do what you won’t

  • Why SAFE is betting on Cyber AGI—and what that means for the future of security
