Field Notes: Coffee, Gliders & Trademark Scams

Ever wonder what the hosts of The Audit talk about when the mics are rolling but the formal interview isn't happening? This Field Notes episode gives you exactly that—unfiltered conversations covering everything from coffee preferences and glider flying to trademark scams targeting cybersecurity professionals. 

Nick and Eric dive into Eric's latest aviation adventures (spoiler: gliders are apparently safer than planes with engines), share war stories about scam calls trying to exploit trademark filings, and swap tales about expensive vet visits. Plus, hear some nostalgic cybersecurity stories from the Wild West days when networks ran without firewalls and people could taste peanut butter straight from the jar at grocery stores. 

Key Topics:  

• Eric's glider pilot training and why it's "safer" than powered flight  
• Trademark registration scams targeting IT professionals 
•  Coffee roasting tips from flight instructors  
• Cybersecurity nostalgia: Temple University's router-only network  
• Why Eric kept a scammer on the phone for 5 minutes during pickleball 

Whether you're here for the cybersecurity insights or just want to know why Nick prefers Diet Coke to Coke Zero, this episode delivers the authentic conversations that happen between industry pros. Don't miss Eric's glider safety argument—it might just change your perspective on risk management.
