A few weeks\xa0ago\xa0we had a\xa0listener\u2019s\xa0meetup in New York, and as\xa0part of that meetup, I gave a talk in\xa0which I discussed how Malicious Life came to be - a story that goes back to my days as a\xa0ship's\xa0captain in the Israeli Navy - and then about how me and Nate craft the stories that you hear every other week.\xa0That last part, I hope, might also\xa0be beneficial to\xa0those of you, our listeners, who find themselves giving talks about technically complex ideas, cyber-related or not.\xa0The storytelling ideas and techniques I laid out in the talk are universal, and\xa0you\u2019ll\xa0find them in blockbuster movies\xa0as well as\xa0podcast episodes.\xa0
