Angus Hervey wants to change the way the general public thinks of hacking.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cEvery single picture of a hacker is someone in a hoodie hunched over a computer in a dark room, taking down corporations or the government,\u201d Hervey says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cBut the original meaning of the word \u2018hack\u2019 is to use things to create a solution to a problem that hasn\u2019t been created before.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the third episode of our new podcast, the Random Hacks of Kindness Australia founder sat down with StartupSmart<\/i> to chat about why it\u2019s important to change these perceptions and how the group is using hacking skills for good.<\/p>\n
