The New Rule That Can Block You From Every Federal Contract

May 08, 2025

With the federal government preparing to enforce CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) at scale, many businesses are finding themselves unprepared and at risk.

In this episode, I sit down with Jacob Hill, a leading expert in CMMC, cybersecurity compliance, and federal regulations, to break down what contractors and consultants need to know right now.

We cover:

  • What CMMC really is — and what it’s not

  • The key differences between Levels 1, 2, and 3

  • The critical steps contractors should take to stay compliant

  • Big opportunities for consultants in the growing CMMC space

  • The major risks small businesses face and how to get ahead of them

Whether you're a federal contractor, a consultant, or just starting to explore government sales, this conversation delivers practical, up-to-date insights into a fast-changing compliance landscape.
