Art, Hacking, And The Cost Of Tech

About this episode

The episode explores the journey of Matt from music production to security consulting, discussing the complexities of technology and personal aspirations.

We sit with Matt to trace a winding path from broke studio days to elite security consulting, unpacking the moral gray of tech, the pressure of monopolies, and the stubborn hope inside making music for yourself. The talk moves fast, stays honest, and ends with a clear compass: align time with what you want. • recording local bands and closing the studio • pivot to offensive security and timing the market • winning conference challenges and consulting work • tech as blessing and curse in daily life • AI’s impact on music and security • monopolies, inequality and political capture • writing process, persistence and plain lyrics • attention economy and social media trade offs • culture, perspective and small levers of control • advice on aligning time with goals Follow @thatsok_andtheiluvyouse Follow us @ brokeboyz_ff on Instagram and TikTok Intro Music by Rockstar Turtle- Broke Boyz (999) Christmas Intro Song by Nico
