About this listen
Katy sits down with Donnie Hasseltine, VP of Security at 2F, to explore his journey from VMI graduate and combat-tested Marine leader to Silicon Valley cyber-security executive.
In this conversation, Donnie opens up about the challenges of leaving the military and the feeling of loss many veterans experience. “Don’t be so set on the path that you become blind to what else is out there,” he says, reflecting on his own transition. He shares how realistic timelines, soul-searching, and surrounding yourself with high performers can lay the groundwork for a successful civilian career.
Donnie discusses his role as VP of Security at a startup—and how networking and investing in yourself are critical to landing your next role. “Never say no—always say, ‘Tell me more,’” he advises. “Get yourself around high performers and listen to people more.”
This episode is packed with practical insights, honest reflections, and advice for anyone transitioning out of the Military or thinking about making a change in career paths.
