    I remember when you still had under 30k subs and thinking "this guys is too honest" about his stance to it and seems too unmotivated for becoming a bigger channel. I'm so happy to see that your efforts have grated you over 200k subs Grant! Gz and keep it up! Thanks for sharing and caring!

    This is the most straightest (no bs) and truthful answer/advice I've heard in a while. Good work, and hope to see more content and learn from you.

    Hey Grant, thanks for this video. It is helpful. Starting a blog is definitely something I should do. Love your very straightforward approach. Thanks again.

    Showing an example portfolio or what yours looks like would have been beneficial.

      The classic UA-cam move, all words, no substance. 😑 (only joking)
      Valid and fair point! My portfolio, in all transparency, is this channel, my side-projects I showcase, Cybercademy, and working on building a small blog of my own right now (still working on this myself), I decommissioned my one earlier.

    Can you expand on where one can get project ideas? Obviously Google, but are you identifying emerging vulnerabilities or stories within cybersecurity and figuring out ways to replicate it virtually, or would you recommend checking the internet for ideas?
    Thank you.

      After editing the video, this was one element I thought I was missing in this video. My apologies.
      I recommend getting started looking at www.cybercademy.org/project-ideas

      Can you elaborate? Are you saying you don’t need it if you have entry level experience?

      "@krystalmarie5637, what I'm saying is that for a basic IT job, you don't necessarily need a portfolio. However, for more advanced positions, a portfolio becomes essential because those jobs are more competitive, and having a portfolio can set you apart from others going for the same role.
