#55 The Accidental Military Enlisted Officer - Maria Horton, Emesec
A Pennsylvania native, Maria Horton was a nurse who was told she could be an officer and nurse in the military, and it was true. She worked in Washington DC and wound up with a 20 year career. After retiring, her background in both nursing and information in the Navy served her well for her business success. With an interest in technology, Maria was researching telemedicine at just the right time. Online services were just beginning to take shape and her timing was impeccable. As she says, "Life puts you in the right place or gives you the right experience to see what's coming". In sending medical records to remote locations, privacy was of utmost importance, and her cyber security background got its start.\n\nVeteran Founder Podcast with your hosts Josh Carter and Carmen Nazario\n\nWe record the Felony Inc Podcast inside NedSpace in the Bigfoot Podcast Studio in beautiful downtown Portland.\n\nAudio engineer, mixer and podcast editor is Allon Beausoleil\n\nShow logo was designed by Carolyn Main\n\nWebsite was designed by Cameron Grimes\n\nProduction assistant is Chelsea Lancaster\n\nTheme music: Artist: Tipsy Track: Kadonka Album: Buzzz Courtesy of Ipecac Records\n\n10% of gross revenue at Startup Radio Network goes to support women entrepreneurs in developing countries thru kiva.org/lender/markgrimes\n\nListen to the Veteran Founder Podcast live on-air every Friday at 1:00pm pacific time on Startup Radio Network at startupradionetwork.com
