Free guide chapter, start here: The Four Myths That Keep People Out : https://payhip.com/b/h15mb Still deciding? Is Privacy for Me? → https://payhip.com/b/Qtk9B What's actually stopping you from pivoting into data privacy? For most people, it isn’t ability. It’s one of four myths: data privacy is only for lawyers, you need a certification first, you need tech skills, or you need direct privacy experience. I’m a lawyer and data privacy professional (CIPP/E, CIPM), and I carried three of these myself. In this video, I take each one apart with what actually happened in my own pivot: where data privacy roles really sit, my timeline from application to offer, the case assessment I answered without writing code, and a number from a 2026 industry report that shows how many people in this field started somewhere else. Then I give you a one-sentence exercise to name the myth that’s been holding you back.
