From Cybersecurity to Kitchens: The Power of Shifting Left
In my earlier career leading cybersecurity teams, I dealt with one universal truth: problems are cheaper to fix the earlier you catch them.

These are not just statistics, they’re a gut punch. When we first uncovered these numbers, they lodged in our minds and refused to let go. They kept us up at night, tugging at our conscience and pushing us to ask a simple but urgent question: why? That relentless discomfort became ou
