Michael Bloch dives deep into his journey from ground-level Marine Corps experience to high-end intelligence, targeting, and cyber operations at the national level. He breaks down how real-world combat experience shaped his analytical edge, leading to roles supporting Tier One units, advanced targeting against ISIS, and cutting-edge cyber operations overseas—all while navigating the bureaucracy that often slows innovation inside government. Bloch also gives a rare, candid look at modern cyber warfare, how the U.S. stacks up against adversaries like China and Russia, and why frustration with red tape ultimately pushed him to start his own company to move faster, think smarter, and build real-world solutions outside the system.
