In this episode of Timeout with Leaders, hosts Kevyn and Tyler sit down with Andrew Wilder, the Chief Security Officer at Vetcor. With over 18 years of experience at a global giant like Nestlé, Andrew shares his journey of transitioning from a high-pressure corporate environment to a leadership role that prioritizes family and human connection.

The conversation dives deep into:

• Modern Leadership: Why Andrew shifted from being a "technical manager" to an empowering leader who embraces failure and "crazy ideas."

• The Human Element in Tech: A candid discussion on the impact of AI, the importance of "presence" in a digital world, and why the next generation should consider both high-tech and skilled trades.

• Life Lessons: Andrew shares the powerful impact of the poem "A Father’s Lament" and how it reshaped his relationship with his children.

• Cybersecurity & Boards: Practical advice for new CSOs on how to present effectively to boards using the "noses in, fingers out" philosophy.

What if fear isn’t the thing holding you back… but the signal that you’re exactly where you need to be?

In this episode of Timeout With Leaders, Tyler White and Kevyn Rustici sit down with entrepreneur, creative, and visionary Ray Myers — a man who’s built multiple businesses, stepped into acting, music, and even storm chasing.

But this conversation goes deeper than credentials.

It’s about the internal battle every leader faces.

Ray breaks down the mindset shift that separates those who stay stuck… from those who move forward anyway:

👉 Run toward the danger.

From overcoming self-doubt to leading through uncertainty, this episode unpacks the real work behind confidence — not motivation, not hype, but action.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why fear disappears the moment you take action
• How to reprogram your inner dialogue
• The truth about entrepreneurship no one talks about
• The difference between passion and purpose
• How great leaders handle uncertainty and pressure
• Why most people fail before they even start

Confidence isn’t something you wait for. It’s something you build — one action at a time.
