About Matt Vaillancourt

I make hackers, customers, and chatbots make sense with stories of cheese rolling, beaver dams, and why high school reunions exist.

Matt Vaillancourt has spent 25 years in technology sales and cybersecurity, which means he has watched a lot of people buy, sell, and get phished (occasionally in the same afternoon). He talks about AI and the human condition, the psychology of sales for sellers and customers alike, and the non-technical side of cybersecurity, from social engineering to why your password hint is basically a confession.
