Shoot the Hoot with CyberHoot …RAW – Episode 10

5th August 2025 | Shoot the Hoot Shoot the Hoot with CyberHoot …RAW – Episode 10

Welcome to Shoot the Hoot…RAW!

Welcome back to Episode 10 of Shoot the Hoot RAW—a special milestone episode celebrating how a scrappy idea became an unstoppable Autopilot for cybersecurity training.

We’re pulling back the curtain on how CyberHoot hatched—from its awkward, policy-only beginnings (SPAW, anyone?) to today’s fully automated, quirky, and powerful training platform that’s changing how MSPs and SMBs build real security habits.

This isn’t a highlight reel—it’s the real story. The messy first version, the pivots that nearly broke us, and the breakthroughs that made it all worth it.

Still real. Still ruthless. Still built for MSPs who want results.

🛫 Today’s Flight Plan:

🦉 The Origin Story – From SPAW to something that actually worked
🦉 The Pivot Point – The painful moment that forced us to evolve
🦉 Autopilot Rising – How automation, PowerUps, and HootPhish changed the game
🦉 The Near-Crash – The mistake that almost grounded us for good
🦉 The Future Flight Path – What’s next for CyberHoot and how we’re leveling up again

It’s part comedy, part chaos, and 100% CyberHoot.
If you’ve ever built something from scratch—or broken it along the way—this one’s for you.
