Welcome back to the PJ Players Podcast.

00:00:24.811 --> 00:00:26.431
Thanks for joining today.

00:00:26.431 --> 00:00:32.761
We have two gentlemen from 360
Privacy, Ben Barine and Nick Bush.

00:00:32.761 --> 00:00:33.661
Thanks for being here guys.

00:00:33.721 --> 00:00:34.621
Thanks for having us.

00:00:35.071 --> 00:00:37.051
Yeah, excited for the conversation today.

00:00:37.351 --> 00:00:41.851
Uh, a lot of the conversations we have
on this podcast are around the best

00:00:41.851 --> 00:00:45.361
players in the world, on the golf side,
but also the best athletes in the world.

00:00:45.361 --> 00:00:49.681
How are they converting and
creating talent into value?

00:00:50.086 --> 00:00:54.916
And what we want to talk about today
is more on the continue of their,

00:00:55.126 --> 00:00:58.516
their talent and value set, uh, side.

00:00:58.516 --> 00:01:00.496
And what we're gonna
talk about is security.

00:01:00.586 --> 00:01:03.916
Um, maybe not as fun as some of the
other conversations we've had, but

00:01:03.916 --> 00:01:05.776
probably the most important it can be.

00:01:05.776 --> 00:01:08.806
Yeah, actually some of the conversations
we've had, some of the drills

00:01:08.806 --> 00:01:09.886
we've done have been pretty fun.

00:01:09.886 --> 00:01:13.726
So, um, but it's probably the
most important conversation we're

00:01:13.726 --> 00:01:16.096
gonna have on here today, and I
think it's gonna resonate with.

00:01:17.191 --> 00:01:20.161
People that are on the PJ tour,
whether it's the player, the wife,

00:01:20.161 --> 00:01:25.381
the agent, um, the family, they
understand what's at risk these days.

00:01:25.381 --> 00:01:30.331
But I think it's gonna be great to have
you two give us some context of maybe like

00:01:30.331 --> 00:01:31.951
the behind the scenes of what happens.

00:01:31.951 --> 00:01:31.961
So.

00:01:32.926 --> 00:01:36.886
Why don't one of you guys give
me a little background on 360

00:01:36.886 --> 00:01:38.206
Privacy, how y'all started?

00:01:38.356 --> 00:01:38.866
That'd be great.

00:01:38.926 --> 00:01:43.276
Yeah, so we've been around for
about five years now, six years.

00:01:43.276 --> 00:01:46.666
What we do, in short, we remove
people from the internet, right?

00:01:46.666 --> 00:01:51.936
So we remove, and not from Facebook, not
from Wikipedia, but if you look up Nic

00:01:52.006 --> 00:01:56.776
Bush on Google Home Address, you know,
there's all these websites where it,

00:01:56.776 --> 00:01:59.506
you're just, our information is just.

00:02:00.001 --> 00:02:01.081
Hemorrhaging, right?

00:02:01.411 --> 00:02:01.471
Yeah.

00:02:01.471 --> 00:02:02.101
On, on Google.

00:02:02.341 --> 00:02:05.881
And so part of our core flag,
our flagship, uh, program

00:02:05.881 --> 00:02:07.501
is we remove you from those.

00:02:07.771 --> 00:02:09.091
It's called 360 Deletes.

00:02:09.121 --> 00:02:12.451
Um, we remove from about 500
websites every single day

00:02:12.751 --> 00:02:14.316
just so that someone can't.

00:02:15.046 --> 00:02:18.016
Just as easy, easily Google
where you live, right?

00:02:18.016 --> 00:02:21.046
Because, and we'll kind of get
into it later, but that there's

00:02:21.046 --> 00:02:24.166
this whole convergence now of
physical and cybersecurity.

00:02:24.226 --> 00:02:24.406
Yeah.

00:02:24.736 --> 00:02:28.126
Because, you know, someone can
find your front door by just doing

00:02:28.126 --> 00:02:29.656
a Google, a Google search now.

00:02:30.106 --> 00:02:31.456
Um, and so we do that.

00:02:31.456 --> 00:02:34.006
We go through, um, we remove
you from the internet.

00:02:34.066 --> 00:02:37.006
Um, we do dark web, deep web,
social media monitoring for

00:02:37.036 --> 00:02:39.346
doxing, hyper-focused on doxing.

00:02:39.526 --> 00:02:39.616
Right.

00:02:39.706 --> 00:02:41.431
We'll get into that a little
bit later too, what that means.

00:02:42.166 --> 00:02:46.696
Um, but then it, you know, in short,
we, we kind of reduce the risk, right?

00:02:46.696 --> 00:02:51.676
Your personal risk, um, whether it's
an organization or a person, we're

00:02:51.676 --> 00:02:56.686
reducing the risk of someone doing
physical harm to the person, right?

00:02:56.686 --> 00:02:56.776
Yeah.

00:02:56.776 --> 00:02:59.086
To, you know, and that's kind of
where, what it all boils down to.

00:02:59.536 --> 00:03:03.496
Um, but we actually, you know,
we're all special operations

00:03:03.496 --> 00:03:04.906
veterans for the most part.

00:03:05.236 --> 00:03:08.356
Uh, we kind of got into this
business because we were the

00:03:08.356 --> 00:03:09.571
bad guys at one point in time.

00:03:10.501 --> 00:03:14.101
I've, you know, targeted people
like I, I've been on the other side

00:03:14.101 --> 00:03:17.701
of it where we're, we're trying
to find the information on it so

00:03:17.701 --> 00:03:22.981
we have this unique perspective
of how would the bad guy do it?

00:03:22.981 --> 00:03:23.041
Yeah.

00:03:23.041 --> 00:03:28.201
You know, what is, what are the,
the, the, um, the bad guys doing now?

00:03:28.201 --> 00:03:31.261
Best practices for us and just
kinda reverse engineer it.

00:03:31.636 --> 00:03:34.846
Um, 360 Privacy actually
started as a physical security

00:03:34.846 --> 00:03:36.556
company here in Nashville.

00:03:36.736 --> 00:03:36.916
Okay.

00:03:37.006 --> 00:03:40.996
Uh, for, you know, musicians
and high profile individuals.

00:03:41.326 --> 00:03:46.096
And we actually used what are now
competitors of us trying to stitch

00:03:46.096 --> 00:03:48.826
'em all together 'cause they're, you
know, they're really good programs

00:03:48.826 --> 00:03:53.206
for, for me, honestly, and my mom,
you know, I'm not famous or anything.

00:03:53.626 --> 00:03:56.986
Um, but for the high profile
people, there was not a solution.

00:03:57.496 --> 00:04:00.676
Where, you know, one, you didn't
have to do, do like a power of

00:04:00.676 --> 00:04:01.966
attorney or driver's license.

00:04:01.966 --> 00:04:02.056
Mm-hmm.

00:04:02.296 --> 00:04:04.576
It was super cumbersome to get enrolled.

00:04:04.936 --> 00:04:10.096
But then also, you know, the, they would
only remove from a quarter of the sites.

00:04:10.096 --> 00:04:13.726
You know, they would kind of do
that top layer, very consumer base.

00:04:13.876 --> 00:04:15.811
And so we started
stitching a bunch of other.

00:04:16.906 --> 00:04:19.486
Solutions together just to kind
of see if we can, you know,

00:04:19.486 --> 00:04:21.016
we, we needed this to happen.

00:04:21.466 --> 00:04:26.896
Um, and in, uh, 2019, Adam, our CEO and
founder, he kind of just said, screw it.

00:04:26.986 --> 00:04:29.926
You know, let's, let's just build
it, you know, build our own nice.

00:04:29.986 --> 00:04:32.116
And so we built our own algorithm.

00:04:32.116 --> 00:04:33.976
We built our own solution.

00:04:34.006 --> 00:04:35.566
DevEd everything in house.

00:04:35.656 --> 00:04:37.216
Everything's here in Nashville.

00:04:37.246 --> 00:04:41.386
And it's purely because we've sat in
your seat as the manager, whether it's

00:04:41.386 --> 00:04:42.826
physical security, you know, whatever.

00:04:42.826 --> 00:04:44.986
We, we moved into the digital space.

00:04:45.766 --> 00:04:49.396
And created a solution because there
just wasn't anything out there.

00:04:49.456 --> 00:04:49.786
Right?

00:04:50.086 --> 00:04:50.356
Yeah.

00:04:50.446 --> 00:04:54.406
Needed to be end to end, needed to be,
have like high touch customer service.

00:04:54.736 --> 00:04:57.796
Um, and it's just, we've been
rocking and rolling ever since.

00:04:57.796 --> 00:04:58.786
That's, that's great.

00:04:58.816 --> 00:05:01.546
I mean, that's, you see some of the best
companies built that way where you're

00:05:01.546 --> 00:05:05.416
endemic to this space, but you see
the problem set or, Hey, how do we put

00:05:05.416 --> 00:05:07.216
these three or four companies together?

00:05:08.386 --> 00:05:10.066
But there's still a
missing link there, right?

00:05:10.066 --> 00:05:10.126
Yeah.

00:05:10.156 --> 00:05:13.036
Why don't we build something that
encompasses everything together?

00:05:13.096 --> 00:05:13.186
Mm-hmm.

00:05:13.516 --> 00:05:16.996
One point of clarification, you said
you guys were on the bad guy side.

00:05:17.086 --> 00:05:17.266
Yeah.

00:05:17.506 --> 00:05:21.256
To be very clear, the bad guy
side for the United States.

00:05:21.256 --> 00:05:21.976
Yes, that's right.

00:05:21.976 --> 00:05:23.356
Going after the opposite.

00:05:23.356 --> 00:05:24.226
We were the bad guys.

00:05:24.226 --> 00:05:25.366
Targeting the bad guys.

00:05:25.366 --> 00:05:26.201
Yes, exactly.

00:05:26.271 --> 00:05:26.561
Okay.

00:05:26.656 --> 00:05:27.466
Just wanted to clarify that.

00:05:27.466 --> 00:05:28.726
A good clarifying statement there.

00:05:28.786 --> 00:05:32.476
Uh, um, and I've heard some really
cool stories that we won't get

00:05:32.476 --> 00:05:35.656
into here 'cause we probably can't
say it publicly, but, uh, yeah.

00:05:36.091 --> 00:05:38.911
If you ever get in a room with these
guys, they, they can tell a story.

00:05:38.911 --> 00:05:41.341
So, um, that's great.

00:05:41.341 --> 00:05:44.401
I mean, just hearing the background
of how it started from the physical

00:05:44.401 --> 00:05:46.861
to now, like kind of the digital side.

00:05:47.581 --> 00:05:52.561
Uh, how about now, like, what is the,
the main focus, if you're gonna go

00:05:52.891 --> 00:05:56.701
have a conversation with a new, let's
say, let's be very specific, right?

00:05:56.701 --> 00:05:59.161
I know you work on the, the
corporate side as well, and that's

00:05:59.161 --> 00:06:00.451
a big part of your guys' business.

00:06:00.451 --> 00:06:03.901
But for who we're talking to today,
the, the professional athlete.

00:06:04.501 --> 00:06:06.871
You start working with a
professional athlete family, like

00:06:07.051 --> 00:06:08.581
what does that service look like?

00:06:08.581 --> 00:06:12.151
Like what are you physically and
digitally doing for them that's

00:06:12.151 --> 00:06:13.531
going to help protect them?

00:06:13.681 --> 00:06:18.361
I think the conversation immediately
starts with, you know, we help

00:06:18.361 --> 00:06:21.061
keep them their private lives.

00:06:21.121 --> 00:06:21.511
Private.

00:06:21.571 --> 00:06:21.811
Yeah.

00:06:21.841 --> 00:06:22.141
Right.

00:06:22.141 --> 00:06:24.361
You know, that's kind of the, the
step in the door without getting

00:06:24.361 --> 00:06:25.771
into the weeds and the technology.

00:06:26.266 --> 00:06:29.416
Um, but it's making sure that
their lives stay private and

00:06:29.416 --> 00:06:31.096
they, they keep ownership of it.

00:06:31.306 --> 00:06:31.396
Yeah.

00:06:31.456 --> 00:06:31.696
Right.

00:06:31.696 --> 00:06:35.776
You know, we will get into it a little bit
later too, of how we live in this life of,

00:06:35.806 --> 00:06:41.176
you know, resentment and how, you know,
and entitlement and our, our information.

00:06:41.176 --> 00:06:42.526
It's not ours anymore, right.

00:06:42.526 --> 00:06:43.666
It's, it's in the ether.

00:06:43.666 --> 00:06:46.216
It's on, on the internet, social
media, whatever it may be.

00:06:46.501 --> 00:06:49.531
But then you have, you know,
Nick here who actually works with

00:06:49.531 --> 00:06:53.161
the athletes and gets down into,
like, puts hands on devices Yeah.

00:06:53.251 --> 00:06:55.981
And kind of talk through some of the
stuff that we do for the, for our clients.

00:06:56.071 --> 00:06:56.251
Yeah.

00:06:56.251 --> 00:07:00.841
So a lot of it is, uh, focused
around education, like educating

00:07:00.901 --> 00:07:05.821
the client on best practices, uh,
some trends that we're seeing as far

00:07:05.826 --> 00:07:07.741
as, uh, the threat landscape goes.

00:07:07.741 --> 00:07:07.771
Okay.

00:07:08.101 --> 00:07:11.761
Um, but a lot of it is focused on
reducing their digital footprint.

00:07:12.271 --> 00:07:12.391
Yeah.

00:07:12.541 --> 00:07:15.001
Which reduces the attack surface.

00:07:15.271 --> 00:07:15.901
So.

00:07:16.321 --> 00:07:22.621
Uh, providing the, the best practices,
uh, showing them, for example, the phone

00:07:22.681 --> 00:07:24.241
going through the hardening on the phone.

00:07:24.751 --> 00:07:28.801
Um, the intent is not to turn
this phone into a paperweight.

00:07:28.801 --> 00:07:29.741
It's a smart phone.

00:07:30.331 --> 00:07:35.351
We want it to do the smart things, uh,
but there's a better way, uh, in a safer

00:07:35.371 --> 00:07:36.871
way to carry it around your pocket.

00:07:36.961 --> 00:07:37.051
Mm-hmm.

00:07:37.591 --> 00:07:41.221
Um, and then just some online
tendencies and habits that.

00:07:41.731 --> 00:07:43.471
Especially a family.

00:07:43.711 --> 00:07:44.041
Yeah.

00:07:44.191 --> 00:07:46.471
With teenagers maybe
that have a device now.

00:07:46.921 --> 00:07:49.411
Um, some things that they
can change a little bit.

00:07:49.411 --> 00:07:55.261
That's not necessarily a lifestyle change,
but it's an easy enough adjustment that's

00:07:55.261 --> 00:07:57.211
gonna keep the family a lot safer online.

00:07:57.451 --> 00:07:57.781
Yeah.

00:07:57.781 --> 00:08:01.471
No, that, I mean, when you guys
showed, walked us through some of the

00:08:01.471 --> 00:08:06.301
security settings on the phone and like
what gets tracked by different apps,

00:08:06.301 --> 00:08:07.771
it's, it's mind blowing to see it is.

00:08:08.431 --> 00:08:11.761
I think by fault, they're just,
they're designed to share as

00:08:11.761 --> 00:08:13.021
much data as they possibly can.

00:08:13.291 --> 00:08:13.801
Yeah.

00:08:13.801 --> 00:08:13.811
Yeah.

00:08:14.191 --> 00:08:17.311
Maybe go through a little bit of
like, what if that information

00:08:17.311 --> 00:08:18.481
falls into the wrong hands?

00:08:18.541 --> 00:08:19.081
What can happen?

00:08:20.041 --> 00:08:24.451
Well, so specifically speaking to
professional athletes, their, their

00:08:24.451 --> 00:08:26.521
schedules are public information.

00:08:26.611 --> 00:08:26.671
Yeah.

00:08:26.671 --> 00:08:27.001
Right.

00:08:27.001 --> 00:08:34.711
So if I, um, know, for example,
a neighborhood that they

00:08:35.221 --> 00:08:36.781
are potentially living in.

00:08:37.351 --> 00:08:39.271
Maybe, I don't know the exact house.

00:08:39.661 --> 00:08:45.211
Um, for, for my piece, when I show,
you know, go visit these clients,

00:08:46.111 --> 00:08:49.921
the education part that I was talking
about, identifying, making sure they

00:08:49.921 --> 00:08:56.491
understand like, hey, if you have your
network as your name and I don't know

00:08:56.491 --> 00:09:00.241
which house is yours, but I slow roll
through the neighborhood, and then that

00:09:00.241 --> 00:09:02.221
wifi network pops up with your name.

00:09:02.281 --> 00:09:03.601
Now I know exactly where you live.

00:09:03.721 --> 00:09:03.991
Yeah.

00:09:04.231 --> 00:09:05.611
Um, but.

00:09:06.376 --> 00:09:12.556
The the PII removal piece, that, that
personal information, the home address,

00:09:12.556 --> 00:09:17.476
the phone number, the email, all of
those data points are things that

00:09:17.476 --> 00:09:22.651
somebody can aggregate and then show
up to the house on the front porch.

00:09:23.761 --> 00:09:28.621
Show up while the athlete is gone for,
you know, a week or two at a time.

00:09:28.681 --> 00:09:28.861
Yeah.

00:09:29.221 --> 00:09:30.271
Depending on the schedule.

00:09:30.331 --> 00:09:33.091
And it's not a risk elimination, right?

00:09:33.096 --> 00:09:37.051
No, it's, it's mitigation
minimization because we are, I

00:09:37.051 --> 00:09:38.941
mean, it's 2025, almost 2026.

00:09:38.941 --> 00:09:41.521
Like there's, there are things
on the internet that's just

00:09:41.521 --> 00:09:42.601
not gonna be able to take down.

00:09:42.601 --> 00:09:42.811
Right.

00:09:42.811 --> 00:09:42.871
Yeah.

00:09:42.901 --> 00:09:44.431
We all have had social media.

00:09:44.431 --> 00:09:45.241
There's, but.

00:09:45.901 --> 00:09:49.501
We can definitely take back
control of your data, right?

00:09:49.501 --> 00:09:54.211
To where, again, someone can't just Google
where your house is or walk through the

00:09:54.211 --> 00:09:58.891
neighborhood and look for what the wifi,
if it's your last name, or, um, you

00:09:58.891 --> 00:10:01.531
know, we had a very unfortunate incident.

00:10:01.531 --> 00:10:03.001
You talk about the family, right?

00:10:03.451 --> 00:10:03.541
Yeah.

00:10:03.541 --> 00:10:07.561
There's a lot, oftentimes with
athletes, there's, it's always focused

00:10:07.561 --> 00:10:11.791
on the athlete, but really the,
the, the victims are oftentimes the

00:10:11.791 --> 00:10:14.701
families because maybe they're not
on the road, they're back at home.

00:10:15.271 --> 00:10:21.091
Um, and so focusing some of what we
do here on the holistic family mm-hmm.

00:10:21.331 --> 00:10:27.511
As a unit, um, it was a very unfortunate
incident where, uh, an individual, you

00:10:27.511 --> 00:10:29.671
know, their phones were set up improperly.

00:10:29.671 --> 00:10:34.501
They, they were using, you know,
a very easily guessable password.

00:10:34.861 --> 00:10:40.771
Um, and, and someone was able to gain
access to, uh, this individual's phone.

00:10:41.176 --> 00:10:45.166
Um, and you know, as Apple,
we all, I love Apple 'cause it

00:10:45.166 --> 00:10:46.396
all, it talks to one another.

00:10:46.396 --> 00:10:47.086
It's an ease.

00:10:47.086 --> 00:10:52.066
It's always like this, this balance of,
of, of, uh, usability and, and security.

00:10:52.456 --> 00:10:58.606
But because, uh, this person's child
had a MacBook, uh, that was issued

00:10:58.606 --> 00:11:03.346
by the school, well then it was on
the family share plan on the phone.

00:11:03.556 --> 00:11:08.146
Well then that individual now
knows where the kid goes to school.

00:11:08.146 --> 00:11:08.386
Yeah.

00:11:08.536 --> 00:11:09.746
And showed up to the school and.

00:11:10.606 --> 00:11:13.546
Gave the, the, the child a
note saying like, Hey, make

00:11:13.546 --> 00:11:14.566
sure you give this to your dad.

00:11:14.566 --> 00:11:14.776
Right?

00:11:14.776 --> 00:11:18.736
Like it's, it's just mind blowing how
these things, just because you know,

00:11:18.736 --> 00:11:22.456
you don't have two factor on you have an
easy password or if you, you know, one

00:11:22.456 --> 00:11:26.596
of my favorite, you know, the security
questions, um, one I've seen over the,

00:11:26.656 --> 00:11:31.096
over the years is, you know, what was
my least favorite vegetable as a child?

00:11:31.456 --> 00:11:33.076
You know what, what, what can you imagine?

00:11:33.076 --> 00:11:33.586
Take a guess.

00:11:33.616 --> 00:11:36.196
I mean, I'd say 80% of people
are gonna say broccoli.

00:11:36.196 --> 00:11:36.676
Broccoli.

00:11:36.681 --> 00:11:36.861
Yeah.

00:11:36.861 --> 00:11:37.141
Boom.

00:11:37.336 --> 00:11:39.496
That was literally the answer.

00:11:39.556 --> 00:11:44.296
And they were, you know, it wasn't
hacking these days isn't like this, you

00:11:44.296 --> 00:11:49.276
know, this super spy type thing, like
that broccoli, like that's hacking.

00:11:49.276 --> 00:11:49.696
You know?

00:11:50.056 --> 00:11:54.736
And so social engineering, uh, is much
more prevalent now than anything else.

00:11:54.736 --> 00:11:57.466
And so it's just being able
to put up walls mm-hmm.

00:11:57.706 --> 00:12:00.461
And protect your, your family, uh, from.

00:12:01.456 --> 00:12:02.626
Little bitty things like that.

00:12:02.631 --> 00:12:02.651
Yeah.

00:12:02.891 --> 00:12:05.716
'cause it's, it's kind of
like a, you know, a lock on

00:12:05.716 --> 00:12:07.336
your bike, you know the chain.

00:12:07.696 --> 00:12:07.906
Right.

00:12:07.906 --> 00:12:11.446
If someone really wants to steal your
bike, they're just gonna go cut the chain.

00:12:11.746 --> 00:12:11.806
Yeah.

00:12:11.806 --> 00:12:14.896
And so you just wanna make sure
that it's tough enough to where

00:12:15.316 --> 00:12:18.316
that person, you know, maybe just
too much time and resource, he's

00:12:18.316 --> 00:12:19.456
just gonna go to the next bike.

00:12:19.486 --> 00:12:19.816
Yeah.

00:12:19.906 --> 00:12:20.266
Right.

00:12:20.266 --> 00:12:23.746
So that's kind of, you know, where we're
focusing on and building plans around

00:12:24.136 --> 00:12:28.331
is one, giving back, you know, control
of your information to the client.

00:12:29.071 --> 00:12:33.691
But then two, putting up actual safeguards
so that someone can't just roll up to

00:12:33.691 --> 00:12:36.001
your house or give your child a note.

00:12:36.091 --> 00:12:36.391
Right.

00:12:36.391 --> 00:12:40.651
So, yeah, I mean that's an extremely
scary, uh, situation, obviously.

00:12:40.651 --> 00:12:40.711
Yeah.

00:12:40.711 --> 00:12:43.651
And we wanna prevent that or do
everything you can to mitigate that.

00:12:43.711 --> 00:12:43.801
Mm-hmm.

00:12:44.161 --> 00:12:47.821
Um, are there other situ, I mean,
that's the physical side, like Right.

00:12:47.821 --> 00:12:51.331
What about talking 'em through like
stealing social security numbers?

00:12:51.361 --> 00:12:51.421
Yeah.

00:12:51.421 --> 00:12:55.951
And like, uh, I don't know,
opening up bank accounts or trying

00:12:55.951 --> 00:12:57.541
to make, you know, fraudulent.

00:12:57.691 --> 00:12:57.931
Yeah.

00:12:58.591 --> 00:12:59.761
Charges, that type of thing.

00:13:00.001 --> 00:13:00.181
Yeah.

00:13:00.181 --> 00:13:03.091
So we have, we talked about doxing
earlier a little bit, right?

00:13:03.091 --> 00:13:07.741
So we, you know, every week now
there's a new data breach, right?

00:13:07.741 --> 00:13:09.121
There's a new this, new that.

00:13:09.481 --> 00:13:15.031
And so this doxing or this, this, uh,
the ability to get your information

00:13:15.036 --> 00:13:18.991
on, on the dark web, deep web or when
the breaches, all that information

00:13:19.051 --> 00:13:22.771
is stuff that you would use to
fill out a credit requests, right?

00:13:22.771 --> 00:13:24.481
Or fill out for a new credit card.

00:13:24.901 --> 00:13:26.821
And so it's just as easy.

00:13:27.331 --> 00:13:33.901
Now with AI to be able to either spoof
somebody's name or face or, and if you

00:13:33.901 --> 00:13:38.161
just have just enough information, you're
gonna be able to beat some of these

00:13:38.161 --> 00:13:43.081
security questionnaires or the person
on the phone who, you know, it's not

00:13:43.081 --> 00:13:44.581
malicious, they're just doing their job.

00:13:44.581 --> 00:13:44.821
Yeah.

00:13:44.941 --> 00:13:50.011
And then the next thing you know, you're
out however much money or, and oftentimes.

00:13:50.926 --> 00:13:54.196
What we've seen, especially with athletes,
you know, there, there are things in

00:13:54.196 --> 00:13:57.796
place to either prevent it or they're
gonna get their money back eventually,

00:13:58.126 --> 00:14:00.826
but it's just, it's the reputational harm.

00:14:00.886 --> 00:14:04.096
It is a, you know, kind of a
pain in the butt to, to do,

00:14:04.096 --> 00:14:05.656
and so that it's just a hassle.

00:14:05.986 --> 00:14:08.686
And so there's, yes, to your point,
there's the physical security

00:14:08.686 --> 00:14:12.316
aspect of it, but then there's, you
know, what is your, you the asset?

00:14:12.316 --> 00:14:13.426
Is it, what are you worried about?

00:14:13.426 --> 00:14:14.266
Is it reputation?

00:14:14.266 --> 00:14:15.076
Is it financial?

00:14:15.316 --> 00:14:17.446
All of these things stem from.

00:14:18.106 --> 00:14:20.086
You know, your information
being out there.

00:14:20.266 --> 00:14:23.956
Yeah, I mean I think that reputation's
one thing and obviously we all wanna

00:14:23.956 --> 00:14:26.986
be aware of that, but the, the time
and headache, I mean, big part of like

00:14:26.986 --> 00:14:31.546
my job, a big part of the job around
a professional athlete is really high

00:14:31.546 --> 00:14:35.146
level of expertise, but also really
high level of convenience to let that

00:14:35.146 --> 00:14:37.456
person perform at the highest level.

00:14:37.456 --> 00:14:40.156
And if they're dealing with, you
know, they got a hundred thousand

00:14:40.156 --> 00:14:43.786
dollars fraudulent charge that yeah,
hopefully we get it back or they

00:14:43.786 --> 00:14:44.986
get it back, that type of thing.

00:14:45.226 --> 00:14:46.366
But it might take six months.

00:14:46.396 --> 00:14:46.456
Yeah.

00:14:46.456 --> 00:14:47.056
Like the amount of.

00:14:47.206 --> 00:14:52.576
Yeah, just brain capacity that's
being used for that to deal with it.

00:14:52.666 --> 00:14:56.536
It's just that much less focus on
performing at the highest level

00:14:56.536 --> 00:14:58.246
where they might make 10 x that.

00:14:58.306 --> 00:14:58.846
Exactly.

00:14:58.846 --> 00:14:59.926
Um, and that's the difference.

00:14:59.926 --> 00:15:01.096
So yeah.

00:15:01.096 --> 00:15:05.896
I mean, I guess you brought up a
good point when it's not just the

00:15:05.896 --> 00:15:09.016
specific athlete, it's the whole
family and the surrounding people

00:15:09.016 --> 00:15:10.816
that are in their inner circle.

00:15:10.846 --> 00:15:10.996
Mm-hmm.

00:15:11.236 --> 00:15:13.771
I remember, you know, some of the
stories you've told me in the past, like.

00:15:14.551 --> 00:15:17.581
When you guys were going after a
high level target or asset mm-hmm.

00:15:18.121 --> 00:15:21.631
Back in the military, it was typically
somebody in their inner circle.

00:15:21.631 --> 00:15:21.961
Yeah.

00:15:21.966 --> 00:15:22.116
Yeah.

00:15:22.121 --> 00:15:25.231
You get to them through not
necessarily that exact person.

00:15:25.261 --> 00:15:25.411
Mm-hmm.

00:15:25.771 --> 00:15:33.181
Um, how, how big, tight, or big
of a circle should that security.

00:15:33.796 --> 00:15:37.816
Uh, sped or like bolded for,
I'll let you jump in there.

00:15:37.816 --> 00:15:40.606
I usually, what I say is whatever
they're comfortable with Yeah.

00:15:40.636 --> 00:15:42.436
They're their immediate ecosystem.

00:15:42.436 --> 00:15:42.496
Yeah.

00:15:42.736 --> 00:15:44.146
Spouse, kids.

00:15:44.386 --> 00:15:46.066
There's a live-in grandmother, you know.

00:15:46.066 --> 00:15:46.156
Mm-hmm.

00:15:46.636 --> 00:15:48.946
An executive assistant or
personal assistant, somebody

00:15:48.946 --> 00:15:51.496
that has access to your records.

00:15:51.526 --> 00:15:51.796
Right?

00:15:51.796 --> 00:15:51.856
Yeah.

00:15:51.856 --> 00:15:57.766
Um, you know, are is just as important
as the, the individual because what I,

00:15:57.796 --> 00:16:00.946
what I've found over the years is, you
know, whether it's the athlete or the.

00:16:01.426 --> 00:16:05.626
High profile individual, they're
usually much more aware and cautious

00:16:05.626 --> 00:16:06.976
and they know what they're doing.

00:16:07.576 --> 00:16:12.346
But there's someone in that ecosystem
who their awareness is very low.

00:16:12.406 --> 00:16:12.586
Right?

00:16:12.586 --> 00:16:12.676
Yeah.

00:16:12.676 --> 00:16:14.056
And that's, they're the soft target.

00:16:14.056 --> 00:16:15.196
That's the weekly, yeah.

00:16:15.586 --> 00:16:19.186
And you know, typically it's, it's
an EA or it's an estate manager or

00:16:19.186 --> 00:16:24.436
somebody like that that has access to
everything, but they don't have the

00:16:24.436 --> 00:16:29.696
awareness, like Ben said, or, um, the
training or you know, the, just the.

00:16:30.046 --> 00:16:30.106
Yeah.

00:16:30.646 --> 00:16:37.486
Understanding that the threat is there
and they are probably the, the issue that

00:16:37.486 --> 00:16:42.136
a lot of people run into is that they
think like, oh, I'm not important enough.

00:16:42.256 --> 00:16:42.406
Yeah.

00:16:42.436 --> 00:16:43.756
So nobody's coming after me.

00:16:44.356 --> 00:16:48.196
Um, but that's exactly why we
would go after that person.

00:16:48.256 --> 00:16:48.376
Yeah.

00:16:48.381 --> 00:16:49.456
Because they have that mindset.

00:16:49.546 --> 00:16:49.666
Yeah.

00:16:49.666 --> 00:16:52.876
Or if I had a nipple for every time
someone said, I don't have Facebook.

00:16:52.876 --> 00:16:53.811
I'm not on the internet.

00:16:53.811 --> 00:16:53.971
Yeah.

00:16:54.431 --> 00:16:54.691
You know?

00:16:55.381 --> 00:16:58.741
It's like, well, you have a
phone, you have a credit card.

00:16:58.771 --> 00:17:02.071
You know, every time you swipe your credit
card, that data is being sold on the

00:17:02.071 --> 00:17:06.391
back end, not maliciously for additional
revenue from all of these companies.

00:17:06.781 --> 00:17:08.521
And so, and it is not illegal.

00:17:08.821 --> 00:17:09.151
Right.

00:17:09.151 --> 00:17:10.171
And that's what's crazy.

00:17:10.231 --> 00:17:11.311
That's what's crazy about it.

00:17:11.311 --> 00:17:15.571
It's just, you know, data is the new
oil and it is a thriving business.

00:17:15.871 --> 00:17:19.831
Um, and so if it's left on
checks, it can be very dangerous.

00:17:20.101 --> 00:17:20.431
Yeah.

00:17:20.671 --> 00:17:22.691
I think, you know, and
I'm not trying to jump.

00:17:23.281 --> 00:17:24.421
Around too much.

00:17:24.421 --> 00:17:28.711
But this is, it's, it all relates,
you know, what we've seen in the news,

00:17:28.711 --> 00:17:30.421
a lot of the break-ins at mm-hmm.

00:17:30.811 --> 00:17:36.751
You know, N-F-L-M-L-B-N-B-A Player Houses,
and I think it's in the news because

00:17:36.751 --> 00:17:41.911
these guys all do press conferences after
their games or midweek press conferences.

00:17:41.911 --> 00:17:45.481
And so it comes out, you
know, from the inner circle.

00:17:45.631 --> 00:17:48.001
A lot of golfers have had
the same issue lately.

00:17:48.061 --> 00:17:48.151
Mm-hmm.

00:17:48.391 --> 00:17:50.551
Over this past year, two years.

00:17:50.926 --> 00:17:53.746
What can they, you know, we've talked
a little bit about, hey, how do we

00:17:54.346 --> 00:17:57.226
get our, our home address off the web?

00:17:57.466 --> 00:18:01.186
You know, from our standpoint, like
we, anytime a player or one of our

00:18:01.186 --> 00:18:04.366
clients is gonna buy a new home, like
we're setting up privacy trust or

00:18:04.366 --> 00:18:08.236
making sure that it's bought within
an LLC that doesn't tie back to them.

00:18:08.776 --> 00:18:14.056
What are some other things they can do
when, hey, the whole world knows if.

00:18:14.671 --> 00:18:17.671
Let's say they live in Florida
and the whole world knows they're

00:18:17.671 --> 00:18:18.901
playing in California that week.

00:18:18.906 --> 00:18:19.136
Mm-hmm.

00:18:19.316 --> 00:18:22.051
And then, and they're playing signed
up to play the next two weeks.

00:18:22.051 --> 00:18:23.431
So, hey, they might be gone for a month.

00:18:24.151 --> 00:18:28.921
What can they be doing to make
sure that they're mitigating

00:18:28.921 --> 00:18:30.691
their risks as much as possible?

00:18:31.381 --> 00:18:32.461
Um, one,

00:18:34.656 --> 00:18:40.651
people tend to find this funny,
it's, you know, with Uber or GrubHub

00:18:40.681 --> 00:18:42.781
or any of these delivery services.

00:18:43.306 --> 00:18:44.686
Which you use when you're out.

00:18:44.686 --> 00:18:46.336
You don't have to put your real name.

00:18:46.846 --> 00:18:47.266
Yeah, right.

00:18:47.266 --> 00:18:48.466
That's people, you know.

00:18:48.466 --> 00:18:51.376
There's not like, you know, and even
security questions, you know, people,

00:18:51.376 --> 00:18:52.696
there's not a security question.

00:18:52.696 --> 00:18:54.676
Police, like, you don't have
to tell the truth on those.

00:18:54.886 --> 00:18:55.876
You just have to have the answer.

00:18:56.116 --> 00:18:59.206
Same thing with, you know, these
apps and things that you're

00:18:59.206 --> 00:19:00.196
getting delivered or using.

00:19:00.781 --> 00:19:04.706
You know, you don't need to put, I highly
suggest all of our ultra high-net-worth

00:19:04.726 --> 00:19:08.236
and high profile individuals do not put
your first name, last name, or anything.

00:19:08.596 --> 00:19:12.526
And one, it's going to sever that
tie on the data brokers and mm-hmm.

00:19:12.766 --> 00:19:13.366
You know, all that.

00:19:13.366 --> 00:19:17.776
But just from a, just from a personal
standpoint, you know, if you put.

00:19:18.631 --> 00:19:22.381
You know, insert Hall of
Famer, household name.

00:19:22.471 --> 00:19:22.651
Yeah.

00:19:22.711 --> 00:19:25.261
On the delivery or, or whatever it may be.

00:19:25.471 --> 00:19:28.241
That person delivering it is
looking at it, thinking like,

00:19:28.381 --> 00:19:30.121
oh my gosh, I'm about to meet.

00:19:30.301 --> 00:19:30.541
Yeah.

00:19:30.541 --> 00:19:33.271
Tom Brady or, or whoever, tiger
Woods, whatever it may be.

00:19:33.791 --> 00:19:35.341
You know, you, you don't have to do that.

00:19:35.341 --> 00:19:39.391
I actually, we, I gave a class to
one of our, our, our athletes, and

00:19:39.391 --> 00:19:41.731
now I'm on my phone at the autofill.

00:19:42.091 --> 00:19:45.211
I actually put Batman on it and
had something delivered to the

00:19:45.211 --> 00:19:46.441
office while we were talking.

00:19:46.651 --> 00:19:48.391
I actually forgot to change it.

00:19:48.391 --> 00:19:51.721
And then it was a couple days later,
I had something delivered and the

00:19:51.721 --> 00:19:53.701
guy was like, this is for, uh, Mr.

00:19:53.761 --> 00:19:54.361
Batman.

00:19:55.171 --> 00:19:56.881
So, you know, you don't
have to have it on there.

00:19:56.881 --> 00:20:00.301
And that's something that's so easy
for people to, to change and then it

00:20:00.301 --> 00:20:01.711
directly affects their day to day.

00:20:01.831 --> 00:20:07.651
But yeah, I think, um, just
trying to anonymize mm-hmm.

00:20:07.891 --> 00:20:08.041
Yeah.

00:20:08.431 --> 00:20:10.531
The aspects of their life in any way.

00:20:11.071 --> 00:20:13.651
Is extremely helpful and
extremely beneficial.

00:20:13.711 --> 00:20:17.461
Having a healthy sense
of skepticism as well.

00:20:17.461 --> 00:20:23.701
Yeah, so like not connecting your
phone to open wifi, um, just, uh,

00:20:23.701 --> 00:20:27.631
understanding that not everything out
there is for your, in your best interest.

00:20:27.661 --> 00:20:28.051
Right.

00:20:28.291 --> 00:20:29.761
If it's free, it's typically not.

00:20:29.791 --> 00:20:30.121
Yeah.

00:20:30.121 --> 00:20:31.411
This is America.

00:20:31.501 --> 00:20:33.181
If it's free, you are the product.

00:20:33.241 --> 00:20:33.511
Right.

00:20:33.511 --> 00:20:37.981
They're taking something from you, uh,
generally and so, like for instance,

00:20:37.981 --> 00:20:40.111
when athletes are, are, are traveling.

00:20:40.696 --> 00:20:48.946
You know, um, almost every phone and,
uh, cellular, uh, uh, network and, and

00:20:49.246 --> 00:20:51.586
subscription comes with wifi, right?

00:20:51.586 --> 00:20:51.916
Yeah.

00:20:51.916 --> 00:20:53.746
You know, like you create a hops hotspot.

00:20:54.226 --> 00:20:59.266
Um, and so one, you know, treat
your, your devices like you would

00:20:59.266 --> 00:21:00.766
the keys to your house, right?

00:21:00.766 --> 00:21:00.826
Yeah.

00:21:00.856 --> 00:21:04.876
You would not go to some random
person on the street that you didn't

00:21:04.876 --> 00:21:06.946
know and say, Hey, here's my keys.

00:21:07.186 --> 00:21:08.296
Can you hold these for an hour?

00:21:09.091 --> 00:21:13.051
Don't plug your phone in to
something that you don't own or

00:21:13.051 --> 00:21:16.291
know to charge or to use the wifi.

00:21:16.321 --> 00:21:16.501
Right.

00:21:16.501 --> 00:21:19.531
But think of the damage you can
do just from logging into things.

00:21:19.531 --> 00:21:23.281
And that's one of the mindset shifts
I try to get all of our clients.

00:21:23.281 --> 00:21:23.371
Mm-hmm.

00:21:23.371 --> 00:21:26.611
Is like, you need to treat your
phone and your devices like an

00:21:26.611 --> 00:21:29.221
extension of you and your family.

00:21:29.626 --> 00:21:32.236
And be like, your keys to your car,
you know, you wouldn't leave the

00:21:32.236 --> 00:21:36.376
house and not only leave the door
unlocked, but leave it wide open.

00:21:36.406 --> 00:21:36.646
Yeah.

00:21:36.706 --> 00:21:36.976
Right.

00:21:36.976 --> 00:21:40.126
So you wanna kind of have that same
mentality with, with all of your devices

00:21:40.126 --> 00:21:41.776
because it's, everything's there.

00:21:41.986 --> 00:21:42.286
Yeah.

00:21:42.346 --> 00:21:45.886
One of the things you guys showed us
was even, like, I never really thought

00:21:45.886 --> 00:21:48.826
about plugging to charge my phone.

00:21:48.826 --> 00:21:48.916
Mm-hmm.

00:21:49.276 --> 00:21:56.386
The USB stick into something when really
that the reason that USB outlet is made

00:21:56.626 --> 00:21:58.221
is the transfer data not to change.

00:21:58.361 --> 00:21:58.581
Yep.

00:21:59.146 --> 00:22:03.316
And so just even having like a, an adapter
to remove the data transmission part

00:22:03.316 --> 00:22:06.886
of it, and it's, it that's a little bit
more down, you know, the tinfoil hats

00:22:06.946 --> 00:22:08.776
of, you know, everyone's out to get me.

00:22:09.046 --> 00:22:15.016
However, the reality is is, you know,
the, that is a very easy targeting vector

00:22:15.016 --> 00:22:17.386
for people, especially at airports.

00:22:17.416 --> 00:22:17.626
Yep.

00:22:18.016 --> 00:22:20.206
Around hotels where you
have transient people.

00:22:20.206 --> 00:22:22.426
You know, I just, I
just wouldn't trust it.

00:22:22.486 --> 00:22:22.786
Right.

00:22:22.786 --> 00:22:26.656
You know, there, there are data,
um, blockers that you can use.

00:22:27.016 --> 00:22:31.456
Um, but just like the best thing is
just use the traditional plug, you know?

00:22:31.456 --> 00:22:31.516
Yeah.

00:22:31.906 --> 00:22:35.506
Um, because to your point, you know
that that's meant to transfer data

00:22:35.506 --> 00:22:38.386
and you don't know what's coming in
or out of, behind that wall, so Yeah.

00:22:38.471 --> 00:22:38.761
Yeah.

00:22:38.956 --> 00:22:42.436
I mean, a lot of these guys and
families, they're either staying

00:22:42.436 --> 00:22:44.056
in hotels for weeks at a time.

00:22:44.326 --> 00:22:44.386
Yeah.

00:22:44.386 --> 00:22:46.336
Or a lot, a lot more Airbnbs.

00:22:46.336 --> 00:22:47.056
Mm-hmm.

00:22:47.116 --> 00:22:51.556
And I think the initial trust is, oh,
once I'm inside that door, it's safe.

00:22:51.556 --> 00:22:51.646
Right.

00:22:52.456 --> 00:22:53.596
That's not necessarily the case.

00:22:53.596 --> 00:22:56.506
And again, to be very clear, like
we're not trying to scare everybody.

00:22:56.506 --> 00:22:56.686
Right.

00:22:56.686 --> 00:22:57.861
We're trying to like No, absolutely.

00:22:57.861 --> 00:22:58.261
Just awareness.

00:22:58.411 --> 00:23:01.426
This is like 98% of the
time you're in a good spot.

00:23:01.426 --> 00:23:01.486
Yeah.

00:23:01.576 --> 00:23:07.276
But being realistic that as a
high profile athlete you are at

00:23:07.276 --> 00:23:09.676
a bigger, higher target risk.

00:23:09.676 --> 00:23:09.766
Mm-hmm.

00:23:10.156 --> 00:23:13.306
And so, yeah, we don't need
to put the tinfoil hat on.

00:23:13.306 --> 00:23:13.366
Yeah.

00:23:13.366 --> 00:23:15.856
We don't need to wrap
ourselves in bubble tape.

00:23:16.336 --> 00:23:16.396
Yeah.

00:23:16.396 --> 00:23:19.816
But we do need to make sure that if
there's little things we can be doing

00:23:19.816 --> 00:23:21.706
to protect ourselves and not be.

00:23:22.651 --> 00:23:25.261
As you say, like metaphorically
handing our house keys.

00:23:25.261 --> 00:23:25.321
Yeah.

00:23:25.501 --> 00:23:27.391
To anybody that's walking around.

00:23:27.751 --> 00:23:29.161
Then let's try and take those steps.

00:23:29.161 --> 00:23:33.001
And there's this study too, I think it's
called the Truth Default Method, or TR

00:23:33.001 --> 00:23:37.531
Truth Default Theory, where like humans,
we trust people more than we should, and

00:23:37.531 --> 00:23:39.811
we also lie more than we think we do.

00:23:40.111 --> 00:23:42.661
And so there's this weird gray
area where, to your point, like

00:23:42.871 --> 00:23:47.521
as soon as you walk into that
Airbnb, you're like, oh, I'm safe.

00:23:47.791 --> 00:23:47.941
Yeah.

00:23:48.871 --> 00:23:48.961
You know, like, oh.

00:23:49.336 --> 00:23:52.336
No one would, you know, why
would someone target me?

00:23:52.336 --> 00:23:56.356
Or, you know, we just, you don't get in
that mindset and you trust that person and

00:23:56.446 --> 00:23:59.986
you, we just really shouldn't, especially
in those, in those situations, because

00:23:59.986 --> 00:24:05.506
unfortunately, the, the harsh reality is
there's, you know, unstable people out

00:24:05.506 --> 00:24:08.086
there that do, you know, crazy things.

00:24:08.086 --> 00:24:11.836
Maybe it may not be malicious too,
maybe it may have good intentions, but

00:24:11.836 --> 00:24:15.706
still, you know, you just wanna have
a good, healthy sense of skepticism

00:24:15.946 --> 00:24:17.201
and awareness when you're traveling.

00:24:17.896 --> 00:24:22.996
Um, just because our life is, you know,
meant everything around us is meant to

00:24:22.996 --> 00:24:25.066
take data and to take things, right?

00:24:25.306 --> 00:24:25.426
Yeah.

00:24:25.426 --> 00:24:26.266
Where we don't really have to.

00:24:26.626 --> 00:24:26.836
Yeah.

00:24:26.836 --> 00:24:30.616
I mean, to your point, it may
not be, that person may not think

00:24:30.616 --> 00:24:31.546
they're doing it maliciously.

00:24:31.546 --> 00:24:31.636
Right.

00:24:31.636 --> 00:24:32.626
It may just be a super fan.

00:24:32.956 --> 00:24:33.316
Exactly.

00:24:33.316 --> 00:24:36.526
It really wants to meet you and really
wants to be around you and like, thinks

00:24:36.586 --> 00:24:40.516
that, to your point earlier, like the
entitlement factor of like, hey, he's a,

00:24:40.756 --> 00:24:42.556
he's a professional golfer, he's on tv.

00:24:43.186 --> 00:24:46.726
I should be allowed to go up to him
and say hi and shake his hand and it

00:24:46.726 --> 00:24:49.006
doesn't matter, there's a rope up and
he's in the middle of his practice run.

00:24:49.006 --> 00:24:49.096
Right.

00:24:49.096 --> 00:24:52.966
Or that he just walked into his hotel and
expects to have some sense of privacy.

00:24:53.386 --> 00:24:53.506
Yeah.

00:24:53.506 --> 00:24:55.666
I watched him come in, I'm
gonna follow him up the elevator

00:24:55.666 --> 00:24:56.656
and go knock on his door.

00:24:56.656 --> 00:24:58.006
Like not okay.

00:24:58.126 --> 00:25:01.006
Yeah, obviously, but it's some
of those things that we're

00:25:01.011 --> 00:25:02.656
trying to be able to Yeah.

00:25:02.656 --> 00:25:07.066
You know, use an alias like kind of,
and a little bit goes a long way,

00:25:07.066 --> 00:25:11.056
fictitious story that, you know,
like almost an alternate truth.

00:25:11.086 --> 00:25:11.176
Mm-hmm.

00:25:11.176 --> 00:25:12.436
Of like, Hey, here's the fake.

00:25:12.766 --> 00:25:16.606
Alias and story that I can use for all the
security profiles and that type of thing.

00:25:16.666 --> 00:25:20.476
And this is, I mean, 100% is like, you
can scratch this as long as you want.

00:25:20.476 --> 00:25:21.706
It's just gonna get bigger
and bigger and bigger.

00:25:21.706 --> 00:25:21.796
Yeah.

00:25:22.606 --> 00:25:28.096
Um, but you know, just to have
some, anything you do is gonna

00:25:28.096 --> 00:25:30.496
be better than 99% of America.

00:25:30.586 --> 00:25:30.676
Right?

00:25:30.676 --> 00:25:30.886
Yeah.

00:25:31.186 --> 00:25:34.786
Like just these individ, like if you
just switched up the apps on your

00:25:34.786 --> 00:25:38.746
phone, or two factor authentication,
like that little bit of effort goes

00:25:38.746 --> 00:25:42.081
so far because nine times out of 10.

00:25:43.336 --> 00:25:48.196
To your point, it's not malicious,
maybe a super fan, but as soon as

00:25:48.196 --> 00:25:52.336
they feel resistance and they're
like, oh, this person, it's too

00:25:52.336 --> 00:25:53.926
hard to, to get close to 'em.

00:25:54.016 --> 00:25:54.196
Yeah.

00:25:54.256 --> 00:25:58.096
They're just going to pivot to someone
who doesn't have anything in place.

00:25:58.096 --> 00:25:58.336
Right?

00:25:58.336 --> 00:25:58.486
Yeah.

00:25:58.636 --> 00:26:04.126
So this, the smallest amount of effort
actually goes the longest way because 99%

00:26:04.126 --> 00:26:07.606
of the time, they're going to choose the
path of lease resistance when it comes

00:26:07.606 --> 00:26:10.486
close to gaining access or getting close.

00:26:11.116 --> 00:26:12.406
What, what, at least what I found.

00:26:12.466 --> 00:26:12.766
Yeah.

00:26:12.766 --> 00:26:18.886
And, and most of those little changes
that can be made are essentially

00:26:19.336 --> 00:26:22.966
unnoticeable to, to the user, you
know, to the, to the individual.

00:26:22.996 --> 00:26:23.116
Yeah.

00:26:23.326 --> 00:26:30.886
So because our, our whole intent is
always to, um, provide the least amount

00:26:30.886 --> 00:26:32.806
of disruption in their day to day.

00:26:32.811 --> 00:26:33.121
Mm-hmm.

00:26:33.376 --> 00:26:38.236
Um, not require any necessarily
lifestyle changes or anything like that.

00:26:38.611 --> 00:26:43.021
Just very simple little changes that
can be made that most likely the

00:26:43.021 --> 00:26:44.551
person next to them hasn't done.

00:26:44.641 --> 00:26:44.941
Yeah.

00:26:45.061 --> 00:26:48.901
Um, so they're all automatically
gonna be a harder target Yeah.

00:26:48.961 --> 00:26:51.661
Than the person, you know,
their neighbor, for example.

00:26:52.111 --> 00:26:52.471
Yeah.

00:26:52.471 --> 00:26:56.821
No, I mean, I think your, your metaphor
or your example of the bike, like if

00:26:56.821 --> 00:26:59.971
you have a locked bike and there's
a bike next to that's not locked.

00:26:59.971 --> 00:27:00.031
Yeah.

00:27:01.411 --> 00:27:03.241
They're probably just gonna
take the other bike, right?

00:27:03.361 --> 00:27:06.901
They're not gonna take the time to go
get bolt cutters, come back, risk the

00:27:06.901 --> 00:27:10.201
chance of getting caught, like let's,
you know, path of least resistance.

00:27:10.201 --> 00:27:12.301
So trying to just make it a
little bit more difficult.

00:27:12.331 --> 00:27:12.391
Yeah.

00:27:12.451 --> 00:27:16.981
All the heavy lifting, you know,
to, we do, you know, the removal,

00:27:16.981 --> 00:27:21.301
uh, all of that, you know, that's
kind of the reason why we do it, is

00:27:21.301 --> 00:27:24.571
because again, we sat in your shoes.

00:27:24.571 --> 00:27:26.821
We've been on the other side
from a management perspective.

00:27:27.616 --> 00:27:29.806
You know, as soon as
something becomes cumbersome.

00:27:29.806 --> 00:27:29.866
Yeah.

00:27:29.926 --> 00:27:33.496
Especially with high profile individuals,
they're just not gonna do it.

00:27:33.886 --> 00:27:39.226
And so one money well spent and then
two, just getting in that mindset of

00:27:39.226 --> 00:27:45.286
like the little things that matter
and then let us take on those big

00:27:45.286 --> 00:27:49.186
projects while the athlete goes back
to doing what they get paid for.

00:27:49.246 --> 00:27:49.486
Right.

00:27:49.486 --> 00:27:49.666
You know?

00:27:49.666 --> 00:27:50.236
Yeah, exactly.

00:27:50.236 --> 00:27:54.916
Giving them back not only the
the, the mental space and clarity.

00:27:55.216 --> 00:27:58.726
But also it's going to immediately
impact whatever they're doing, you

00:27:58.726 --> 00:27:59.656
know, they're getting paid to do.

00:27:59.776 --> 00:28:00.046
Yeah.

00:28:00.706 --> 00:28:05.326
I think we've, like with our clients
that, and you know, working with

00:28:05.326 --> 00:28:07.846
you guys with some of our clients
over the years, like we've had some

00:28:08.266 --> 00:28:10.456
interesting to say the least stories.

00:28:10.516 --> 00:28:10.826
Yes, yes.

00:28:10.876 --> 00:28:16.696
Um, I think maybe even just share a
little bit of like, in certain situations,

00:28:16.696 --> 00:28:17.956
like what's the best thing to do?

00:28:17.956 --> 00:28:18.226
Like I.

00:28:19.141 --> 00:28:19.201
Hm.

00:28:20.821 --> 00:28:23.641
Won't name client, but they thought
they were getting, you know, they

00:28:23.641 --> 00:28:24.751
thought they had an intruder.

00:28:24.811 --> 00:28:24.901
Mm-hmm.

00:28:26.131 --> 00:28:27.691
Call the cops first, right?

00:28:27.751 --> 00:28:28.021
Yeah.

00:28:28.231 --> 00:28:29.101
First line of defense.

00:28:29.251 --> 00:28:29.311
Yeah.

00:28:29.311 --> 00:28:31.831
Like, let's be very clear,
unless you have private security,

00:28:31.831 --> 00:28:34.471
like, yeah, call the cops first.

00:28:34.831 --> 00:28:39.211
Um, but what about like, you get a
weird text or a weird phone call.

00:28:39.211 --> 00:28:39.301
Mm-hmm.

00:28:39.541 --> 00:28:41.461
That's like kind of
stalker-ish, that type of thing.

00:28:41.461 --> 00:28:43.501
What, what are kind of
some best practices there?

00:28:43.561 --> 00:28:48.146
So again, if I could encourage people,
just get into the mindset of, of.

00:28:48.901 --> 00:28:52.201
Holding on and controlling your
information, because what'll happen

00:28:52.201 --> 00:28:56.671
is, you know, you get this cognitive
tunneling where you'll get on a call

00:28:57.091 --> 00:29:00.541
and they're gonna start asking you these
questions, and then you don't have time

00:29:00.571 --> 00:29:03.841
to, to think, or, and it's just easier.

00:29:03.901 --> 00:29:07.591
Uh, my, my, my birthday is, yeah, oh
four, you know, you know, and before

00:29:07.591 --> 00:29:10.651
you know it, you've started giving this
information, and that is a tactic, right?

00:29:10.651 --> 00:29:10.741
Mm-hmm.

00:29:10.981 --> 00:29:13.711
And so what I tend to tell
people is take a breath.

00:29:14.461 --> 00:29:18.931
Um, if it is a sense of urgency, whether
it's a phone call or a text message

00:29:19.171 --> 00:29:22.681
and they're gonna try to scare you into
it, that's kind of a red flag, right?

00:29:22.981 --> 00:29:26.401
Never give out your information if you
get a random phone call that you're not

00:29:26.401 --> 00:29:31.951
expecting, um, also ask for the reference
number and then hang up, and then go

00:29:31.951 --> 00:29:35.581
to the website and call their number
and say, Hey, I just got a phone call.

00:29:35.821 --> 00:29:36.751
Nine times outta 10.

00:29:36.781 --> 00:29:39.241
You'll be able to find out if
it's a real conversation or not.

00:29:39.781 --> 00:29:40.231
Um.

00:29:41.011 --> 00:29:45.776
And then, you know, I think too from,
you know, from our mutual clients and,

00:29:45.781 --> 00:29:51.991
and, and others in this world, uh, social
media is a big part of their lives.

00:29:52.081 --> 00:29:52.351
Yeah.

00:29:52.471 --> 00:29:52.921
Right?

00:29:53.251 --> 00:29:56.611
Um, and so there's some very
small things you can do.

00:29:56.611 --> 00:29:58.501
We were talking about before
we've started recording Yeah.

00:29:58.951 --> 00:30:01.741
Of, you know, if you're doing an
interview and it's being broadcast

00:30:01.741 --> 00:30:05.776
to millions of people, ensure
that whatever's behind you isn't.

00:30:06.676 --> 00:30:08.356
You know, personal, right?

00:30:08.356 --> 00:30:12.376
If there's families of your, or photos
of your family or you know, whatever

00:30:12.376 --> 00:30:16.786
background, or if you're doing something
on social media for content, just be aware

00:30:16.786 --> 00:30:21.166
that there are people out there that will
pay attention to the backyard or the fence

00:30:21.166 --> 00:30:25.966
posts and be able to, you know, put that
together and, and find you physically.

00:30:26.236 --> 00:30:29.386
So there's just some little bitty
things to be aware of that can

00:30:29.386 --> 00:30:30.976
make again, the biggest difference.

00:30:31.066 --> 00:30:31.246
Yeah.

00:30:31.336 --> 00:30:34.966
Um, and again, when those phone
calls, it's like, take a breath.

00:30:35.626 --> 00:30:35.806
Right.

00:30:35.806 --> 00:30:38.386
Unless it is an intruder
in your house, for sure.

00:30:38.506 --> 00:30:38.896
Call the cops.

00:30:39.286 --> 00:30:39.496
Yeah.

00:30:39.496 --> 00:30:45.196
But other than that, generally take
a breath and then take an action.

00:30:45.256 --> 00:30:45.496
Right?

00:30:45.496 --> 00:30:45.616
Yeah.

00:30:45.646 --> 00:30:48.826
Don't, if there's a sense of
urgency, that's what they want.

00:30:49.486 --> 00:30:53.026
Take a breath, call you
guys, call us, whatever.

00:30:53.026 --> 00:30:55.306
Find a trusted resource Yep.

00:30:55.606 --> 00:30:57.196
Um, to take that print on.

00:30:57.526 --> 00:31:00.166
And that's, you know, nine times outta
10 that's gonna clear everything up.

00:31:00.526 --> 00:31:00.796
Yeah.

00:31:00.796 --> 00:31:03.811
And always, always verifying
through a separate.

00:31:04.651 --> 00:31:05.791
Source, you know?

00:31:05.791 --> 00:31:05.881
Right.

00:31:06.121 --> 00:31:11.791
So whether it's the phone call or
the text message, um, maybe it seems

00:31:11.791 --> 00:31:14.941
legitimate, maybe it's just kind of
weird, you know, not really sure.

00:31:15.301 --> 00:31:18.961
Um, just take a different avenue to,
to confirm, uh, whether that's going

00:31:18.961 --> 00:31:24.211
through, go directly to the website
or if you get the text message, call,

00:31:24.211 --> 00:31:29.761
whatever the, the, the number is, you
know, through, uh, official sources not.

00:31:30.286 --> 00:31:32.056
Don't go through the text message.

00:31:32.206 --> 00:31:32.446
Yeah.

00:31:32.686 --> 00:31:33.646
Don't click the the link.

00:31:33.821 --> 00:31:35.386
Don't click the link in the message.

00:31:35.386 --> 00:31:38.356
So, and worst case scenario, take
a screenshot and send it to a bus.

00:31:38.386 --> 00:31:38.626
Yeah.

00:31:38.626 --> 00:31:42.406
Like that's, I mean, there, it's getting
pretty creative the way that it, they're

00:31:42.406 --> 00:31:45.676
sending stuff out and I, AI for Yeah.

00:31:45.676 --> 00:31:49.126
I mean, the days of, of getting an
email that looks like a 5-year-old

00:31:49.126 --> 00:31:53.956
wrote the email or long gone, um,
you know, AI has changed the game

00:31:53.956 --> 00:31:55.846
dramatically when it comes to phishing.

00:31:55.851 --> 00:31:56.011
Mm-hmm.

00:31:56.151 --> 00:31:58.051
Um, they're, they're doing massive.

00:31:59.011 --> 00:32:03.121
Phishing campaigns now where they're
sending the same text message to

00:32:03.121 --> 00:32:07.231
thousands of numbers at the same time,
just to see what sticks, you know?

00:32:07.411 --> 00:32:07.681
Yeah.

00:32:07.681 --> 00:32:09.091
Hoping somebody will bite.

00:32:09.301 --> 00:32:09.691
Absolutely.

00:32:09.691 --> 00:32:13.696
They're, they're waiting for you to
present yourself as a soft target, right?

00:32:13.696 --> 00:32:13.856
Yeah.

00:32:13.856 --> 00:32:17.491
You know, you're not, it's not you,
you, they don't know who you are.

00:32:17.491 --> 00:32:19.141
You're just a number on a spreadsheet.

00:32:19.141 --> 00:32:22.921
But if you reply to that and you engage
with it, and you present yourself

00:32:22.921 --> 00:32:24.936
as being a soft target, you're now
gonna make it to the next level.

00:32:25.741 --> 00:32:27.931
And that's when it will get more personal.

00:32:27.931 --> 00:32:28.201
Yeah.

00:32:28.291 --> 00:32:32.791
You know, and so if you, again, just the
bare minimum, you know, you're, they're,

00:32:32.791 --> 00:32:34.021
they're gonna focus on other people.

00:32:34.591 --> 00:32:39.181
I think to your point, a lot of times
they try to make it look semi-urgent.

00:32:39.571 --> 00:32:39.841
Yes.

00:32:39.841 --> 00:32:43.441
Or semi like, not dangerous from
the message, but like, hey, like

00:32:43.561 --> 00:32:44.911
this needs to be responsible.

00:32:44.911 --> 00:32:45.091
Yeah.

00:32:45.121 --> 00:32:48.841
Responded to you, otherwise you're
gonna get some sort of penalty or owe a

00:32:48.841 --> 00:32:50.191
lot more money or something like that.

00:32:50.191 --> 00:32:50.761
It's like, oh shoot.

00:32:50.761 --> 00:32:51.391
Like I need to act.

00:32:51.766 --> 00:32:55.036
Right now, from March to May,
the amount of phone calls that

00:32:55.036 --> 00:32:56.746
go out saying this is the IRS.

00:32:56.776 --> 00:32:56.956
Yep.

00:32:57.256 --> 00:33:00.286
Talking about your taxes, you're
just like, oh my goodness, I

00:33:00.286 --> 00:33:01.306
thought I, you know, whatever.

00:33:01.336 --> 00:33:01.516
Yeah.

00:33:01.606 --> 00:33:04.786
But they're, what they're doing is they're
hoping that they're gonna call somebody

00:33:05.146 --> 00:33:07.696
who's, you know, driving down the road.

00:33:07.696 --> 00:33:11.086
There's four kids crying, you know,
they're, you're like the cognitive

00:33:11.086 --> 00:33:14.086
tunneling, and they're just like,
and so, you know, we just need,

00:33:14.086 --> 00:33:15.586
can you verify this information?

00:33:15.931 --> 00:33:18.541
And you got everything else going on,
and you're like, yeah, here's my day

00:33:18.541 --> 00:33:19.831
to like, what, what is this again?

00:33:19.861 --> 00:33:20.101
Yeah.

00:33:20.191 --> 00:33:21.781
You know, that's what they're hoping for.

00:33:21.781 --> 00:33:26.161
And it's, again, if you can just
take a break, take a pause, verify it

00:33:26.161 --> 00:33:29.581
through either a third party or you
know, the, the actual app, you know,

00:33:29.671 --> 00:33:33.331
that's gonna go the night and it's
gonna make a night and day difference.

00:33:33.361 --> 00:33:33.601
Yeah.

00:33:33.896 --> 00:33:37.021
The, the advancement of like,
the technology to do, I mean, I,

00:33:37.021 --> 00:33:40.291
this is crazy, like 15 years ago.

00:33:40.351 --> 00:33:40.441
Mm-hmm.

00:33:40.681 --> 00:33:44.401
And trust me, I was not a high profile
at Target based on my talent, but.

00:33:44.721 --> 00:33:47.986
When I was playing, my grandmother
got a phone call mm-hmm.

00:33:48.316 --> 00:33:52.036
Of, Hey, Aaron's stuck in jail in Mexico.

00:33:52.036 --> 00:33:55.486
I was actually in a different
country, but we need $10,000

00:33:55.486 --> 00:33:56.866
wired right now to get 'em out.

00:33:56.986 --> 00:34:00.316
And like I'm sure that was a very
popular one and I don't think it even

00:34:00.316 --> 00:34:01.636
had anything to do with who I was.

00:34:01.636 --> 00:34:04.576
It was just that random, you were
on a list that was on the same

00:34:04.576 --> 00:34:05.896
a thousand text message thing.

00:34:05.896 --> 00:34:06.976
It was just what they used to do.

00:34:06.976 --> 00:34:09.376
That scenario is still relevant today.

00:34:09.616 --> 00:34:09.796
Yeah.

00:34:10.231 --> 00:34:12.901
But it's, it's even
enhanced because of ai.

00:34:12.961 --> 00:34:14.251
Now they're cloning voices.

00:34:14.281 --> 00:34:14.371
Mm-hmm.

00:34:14.941 --> 00:34:17.641
Um, they're cloning phone number,
they're cloning everything.

00:34:17.641 --> 00:34:24.211
So when grandma looks down, maybe your
name is popping up on the caller ID

00:34:24.211 --> 00:34:25.531
because they've cloned your phone number.

00:34:25.531 --> 00:34:25.621
Mm-hmm.

00:34:26.191 --> 00:34:29.791
Um, when she answers and it's your voice,
why would she not believe it's you?

00:34:29.791 --> 00:34:30.241
Yeah.

00:34:30.246 --> 00:34:30.276
Yeah.

00:34:30.691 --> 00:34:32.281
Um, but it's all AI driven.

00:34:32.641 --> 00:34:33.031
Crazy.

00:34:33.211 --> 00:34:33.511
Yeah.

00:34:34.381 --> 00:34:37.531
Uh, one thing you brought up
in that last example that I

00:34:37.531 --> 00:34:39.061
think we should touch on is.

00:34:39.571 --> 00:34:43.021
You know, in this more like
social media marketing age.

00:34:43.021 --> 00:34:43.111
Mm-hmm.

00:34:43.501 --> 00:34:48.031
Like especially on the golf side, a lot
of their income comes from endorsements

00:34:48.031 --> 00:34:52.591
and there's an expectation of being
a good partner with your sponsors.

00:34:52.801 --> 00:34:56.191
And some of that has to do with
a little bit of like inside

00:34:56.191 --> 00:34:57.901
look at their personal lives.

00:34:57.901 --> 00:34:57.991
Mm-hmm.

00:34:58.651 --> 00:35:00.826
But I think there's a right way
to do it and a wrong way to do it.

00:35:00.926 --> 00:35:04.141
And like you can give an inside
look your personal life without

00:35:04.141 --> 00:35:05.266
giving up any of your privacy.

00:35:06.226 --> 00:35:11.386
Uh, may gimme the example we were talking
about before of like a green screen or

00:35:11.386 --> 00:35:14.956
like even just not showing, like if you're
gonna, it's okay to maybe show a little

00:35:14.956 --> 00:35:18.976
bit of the inside of your house, but don't
show them like the a hundred thousand

00:35:18.976 --> 00:35:20.741
dollars hard piece you have or, yeah.

00:35:20.746 --> 00:35:21.586
Or don't something.

00:35:21.586 --> 00:35:23.986
Do TikTok video in their
front yard with your mailbox.

00:35:23.986 --> 00:35:28.486
Or like little bitty things like that
where you, you can make it again, the

00:35:28.486 --> 00:35:29.776
biggest difference in the small things.

00:35:30.046 --> 00:35:34.306
Um, a green screen, making sure that if
you're doing a video inside the home,

00:35:34.306 --> 00:35:38.656
that there's nothing, you know, there's
nothing of value, there's nothing just

00:35:38.656 --> 00:35:44.056
gonna make, present yourself as a, as
a soft target, but then just whatever

00:35:44.056 --> 00:35:45.766
your level of comfortability is.

00:35:45.766 --> 00:35:45.976
Right?

00:35:45.976 --> 00:35:46.036
Yeah.

00:35:46.066 --> 00:35:49.726
'cause some people, some people are
a lot more comfortable with having

00:35:49.726 --> 00:35:52.636
the inside of their homes and maybe
family photos, but if, if that's

00:35:52.636 --> 00:35:55.816
something to you that you're worried
about, just taking those additional

00:35:55.816 --> 00:35:58.006
steps and making sure that your team.

00:35:58.821 --> 00:36:01.906
Prioritizes that when they're
building out the content.

00:36:02.176 --> 00:36:02.236
Yeah.

00:36:02.411 --> 00:36:05.866
Or you know, whatever
drip campaign like is.

00:36:05.866 --> 00:36:10.366
I think nine times out 10, if the
athlete or the person just expresses

00:36:10.666 --> 00:36:14.746
that, Hey, I do wanna maintain some
sort of privacy, no team's gonna look

00:36:14.746 --> 00:36:16.396
at 'em and say like, well, sorry.

00:36:16.576 --> 00:36:16.876
Yeah.

00:36:16.876 --> 00:36:17.416
You know what I mean?

00:36:17.446 --> 00:36:22.066
Like, I just think that oftentimes
people just don't bring it up

00:36:22.336 --> 00:36:23.401
because they don't want to feel.

00:36:24.376 --> 00:36:28.696
Like they, um, you know, whether
it's demanding or, you know,

00:36:28.701 --> 00:36:31.906
they, they want to, they want
to do it for the brand, right?

00:36:31.936 --> 00:36:32.086
Yeah.

00:36:32.146 --> 00:36:33.526
They just feel bad for asking.

00:36:33.856 --> 00:36:38.686
But again, nobody on that side of the
house is gonna look the other way.

00:36:38.686 --> 00:36:42.436
If like you just say, Hey, I'd
like to have some sort of privacy.

00:36:42.436 --> 00:36:42.466
Yeah.

00:36:42.466 --> 00:36:43.546
Some sort of security.

00:36:43.846 --> 00:36:47.596
Um, 'cause we work with a lot of
those teams where it is a balance of

00:36:47.596 --> 00:36:50.596
security versus access to the family.

00:36:50.986 --> 00:36:52.066
Um, but again.

00:36:52.636 --> 00:36:56.416
You know, just being cognizant when
you turn your camera on that there's

00:36:56.416 --> 00:36:57.916
probably something behind you.

00:36:57.916 --> 00:37:02.236
You know, have a wall behind you, or
if you're making a video, just look at

00:37:02.236 --> 00:37:05.416
the, before you post it, look at the
background and see what's, what's there.

00:37:06.016 --> 00:37:06.136
Yeah.

00:37:06.136 --> 00:37:09.496
If you want it to be like your office,
your trophy, yeah, that's totally fine.

00:37:09.496 --> 00:37:09.646
Sure.

00:37:09.646 --> 00:37:13.696
Like it's, you know, don't have
your watch cabinet standing there

00:37:13.696 --> 00:37:15.376
with your three Rolex, whatever.

00:37:15.436 --> 00:37:18.651
Like, just don't, don't
show the targets and Yeah.

00:37:18.856 --> 00:37:21.886
And make it that much more of a like.

00:37:23.026 --> 00:37:25.756
Gold mine of like, Hey, this is
something that I want to go after

00:37:25.756 --> 00:37:27.196
TV trips if I'm the bad guy.

00:37:27.241 --> 00:37:27.771
Yeah, exactly.

00:37:27.796 --> 00:37:28.036
Yeah.

00:37:28.516 --> 00:37:34.216
I mean, it's something as simple as like
a custom fireplace mantle can give away or

00:37:34.216 --> 00:37:37.546
can help someone find where that house is.

00:37:38.176 --> 00:37:43.846
Um, just by, by reverse it, searching
that image and you know, I mean there's

00:37:43.846 --> 00:37:46.216
actually an example where it did happen.

00:37:47.011 --> 00:37:48.571
Because of the fireplace mantle.

00:37:48.721 --> 00:37:48.991
Yeah.

00:37:49.141 --> 00:37:51.901
Uh, and my past real estate
photo, like Yeah, yeah.

00:37:51.901 --> 00:37:52.201
Home sale.

00:37:52.201 --> 00:37:57.601
There was a, they, this person posted a
photo inside their home and it was up, it

00:37:57.601 --> 00:37:59.191
was like around Christmas or something.

00:37:59.191 --> 00:38:00.691
It was like stockings or whatever.

00:38:01.351 --> 00:38:02.521
Harmless photo.

00:38:02.701 --> 00:38:03.661
Harmless photo.

00:38:04.081 --> 00:38:07.861
But it was, you know, a
very ornate fireplace.

00:38:07.861 --> 00:38:12.421
And so they just took that photo, did a
reverse image search, and there was a,

00:38:12.451 --> 00:38:14.101
like a real estate posting to your point.

00:38:14.491 --> 00:38:18.031
From previously and all of a sudden
now you know where the person lives.

00:38:18.031 --> 00:38:20.671
You know, it's just little bitty
things that, yeah, it's crazy.

00:38:20.731 --> 00:38:21.001
Yeah.

00:38:21.001 --> 00:38:24.781
I think it's more the, Hey, we're gonna
come to a video shoot for the whole day.

00:38:24.781 --> 00:38:27.631
Like they're pretty got, people
are trained a little bit better

00:38:27.631 --> 00:38:30.091
now of like, Hey, let's make
sure the privacy stuff needs.

00:38:30.091 --> 00:38:30.211
Yeah.

00:38:30.211 --> 00:38:31.771
I think the awareness is definitely there.

00:38:31.771 --> 00:38:32.221
Yeah.

00:38:32.221 --> 00:38:33.086
It's more the like.

00:38:33.691 --> 00:38:37.261
The things they're nothing about the
quick like, Hey, I'm gonna do a five

00:38:37.261 --> 00:38:38.491
minute interview with the golf channel.

00:38:38.491 --> 00:38:38.551
Yeah.

00:38:38.551 --> 00:38:40.441
I just need to set up for five minutes.

00:38:40.441 --> 00:38:43.441
Or you know, hey, some YouTube mm-hmm.

00:38:43.681 --> 00:38:47.521
Influencer, I agreed to do 30 minutes
of like how I get ready for the day.

00:38:47.521 --> 00:38:48.541
That type of going live do.

00:38:48.751 --> 00:38:49.261
Yeah.

00:38:49.261 --> 00:38:51.991
And it's like, oh, not that
many people watch that.

00:38:52.081 --> 00:38:52.231
Yeah.

00:38:52.291 --> 00:38:56.221
Well that's probably exactly what the,
exactly that guys are looking for because

00:38:56.281 --> 00:38:57.661
your guard's down that type of thing.

00:38:57.661 --> 00:38:58.861
So That's exactly right.

00:38:58.861 --> 00:39:00.301
It shows the backyard shows.

00:39:00.301 --> 00:39:01.471
Oh, I'm on a golf course.

00:39:01.471 --> 00:39:01.621
Okay.

00:39:01.621 --> 00:39:02.976
What golf courses is
it that that's pretty.

00:39:03.331 --> 00:39:04.171
Easy to figure out.

00:39:04.171 --> 00:39:06.871
Now all of a sudden, I know what your
backyard looks like and oh, I can

00:39:06.871 --> 00:39:08.431
just pop that fence and get right in.

00:39:08.491 --> 00:39:09.271
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:39:09.361 --> 00:39:14.641
It's, and it's, you know, in this
age now where you are expected

00:39:14.641 --> 00:39:17.431
to give out all that information
and, and put all it out there.

00:39:17.431 --> 00:39:21.901
Just again, if I could, if I've said it
once, I'll say until we end the show,

00:39:22.231 --> 00:39:25.381
you know, for anyone listening, it's
in that, that high profile category.

00:39:25.381 --> 00:39:29.161
Just having the smallest amount
of effort of checking the videos,

00:39:29.161 --> 00:39:30.931
checking your background, not.

00:39:31.306 --> 00:39:34.216
Putting your, you know, the
anonymizing certain things when

00:39:34.216 --> 00:39:37.156
you're ordering, like, that's gonna
make the biggest difference in life.

00:39:37.696 --> 00:39:39.136
Yeah, no, that's a good point.

00:39:39.406 --> 00:39:42.436
Um, I mean, we could
go hours on this Yeah.

00:39:42.436 --> 00:39:44.236
And probably scare people.

00:39:44.236 --> 00:39:44.296
Yeah.

00:39:45.076 --> 00:39:45.496
Straight.

00:39:45.886 --> 00:39:49.396
Um, where they never wanna leave their
house and, you know, put up a blockade.

00:39:49.816 --> 00:39:50.566
That's not the point.

00:39:50.566 --> 00:39:51.346
Again, don't wanna do that.

00:39:51.376 --> 00:39:51.796
No.

00:39:51.886 --> 00:39:56.956
What, let's, let's give like three
quick, I kind of summarize three

00:39:56.956 --> 00:39:58.726
action items, like other than.

00:39:59.101 --> 00:40:02.641
You know, if you work with a WM, like,
and you know us, you know, anything

00:40:02.641 --> 00:40:04.411
on the finance side is coming from us.

00:40:04.411 --> 00:40:08.971
Like, you ever get that random text or
call, your instructions are basically

00:40:08.971 --> 00:40:13.681
like, hang up, call me, call whoever your
person is that you deal with directly.

00:40:14.041 --> 00:40:16.411
If you're working with 360
privacy, it's very similar.

00:40:16.411 --> 00:40:19.801
Like you get something weird like that,
you hang up, you call Nick, or you call

00:40:19.801 --> 00:40:21.541
Ben and hey, what should we be doing here?

00:40:21.991 --> 00:40:25.771
But for those that aren't necessarily
working with either of us yet, and that's

00:40:25.771 --> 00:40:27.451
what they, you know, Hey, I'm interested.

00:40:28.036 --> 00:40:30.616
Other than going to like, reach
out to you guys and we'll put

00:40:30.616 --> 00:40:32.206
your contact in the show notes.

00:40:32.326 --> 00:40:32.386
Yeah.

00:40:32.386 --> 00:40:33.886
And, and ours as well.

00:40:34.486 --> 00:40:38.686
What's like, what are three quick
summarization of like action items?

00:40:38.686 --> 00:40:40.066
Like hardening the phone?

00:40:40.156 --> 00:40:40.516
Yeah.

00:40:40.846 --> 00:40:46.876
I would say one mindset shift of
just getting the mindset of it.

00:40:46.876 --> 00:40:50.536
It's not expected that you have to
give your information out all the time

00:40:50.536 --> 00:40:51.916
on every app doing all the things.

00:40:52.471 --> 00:40:52.741
One.

00:40:52.951 --> 00:40:54.061
And that's super easy to do.

00:40:54.061 --> 00:40:55.681
And that's free of charge, right?

00:40:55.681 --> 00:40:55.741
Yeah.

00:40:55.741 --> 00:40:56.731
Just changing your mindset.

00:40:57.091 --> 00:41:00.931
The second thing that I try to tell
everybody is when your phones start

00:41:00.931 --> 00:41:04.711
treating your phones like it, the
keys to your car, keys to your house,

00:41:04.711 --> 00:41:06.361
because of the access that it has.

00:41:06.751 --> 00:41:11.071
And when you are connecting, whether
it's Bluetooth, wifi, or a physically

00:41:11.071 --> 00:41:14.431
connecting it to something, ask
yourself these three questions.

00:41:14.491 --> 00:41:15.421
Is it yours?

00:41:15.691 --> 00:41:16.591
Is it secure?

00:41:17.026 --> 00:41:17.896
Is it free?

00:41:18.196 --> 00:41:18.586
Right?

00:41:18.796 --> 00:41:20.476
If it's free, what did we say?

00:41:20.506 --> 00:41:22.756
You wrote the product one
time more often than not.

00:41:22.996 --> 00:41:23.956
Is it secure?

00:41:24.076 --> 00:41:26.866
Does it have a, does it need a password?

00:41:26.896 --> 00:41:28.366
Is it yours?

00:41:28.456 --> 00:41:29.566
Like, is it your wifi?

00:41:29.566 --> 00:41:33.136
If you can, uh, confidently answer
those, then by all means, that's

00:41:33.136 --> 00:41:35.536
something that you should connect
your phone to and be comfortable.

00:41:35.836 --> 00:41:38.476
If you cannot, then do not do it right.

00:41:38.476 --> 00:41:40.216
There's, there's really
no room for error there.

00:41:40.741 --> 00:41:43.411
Um, and then I'll, you know,
if you kick in one Yeah.

00:41:43.411 --> 00:41:46.651
And just, uh, it, it's, it's
kind of a blanket thing,

00:41:46.651 --> 00:41:48.271
but anonymize where you can.

00:41:48.751 --> 00:41:48.841
Yeah.

00:41:48.901 --> 00:41:54.751
Um, so whether it's online ordering
or your home network, having the

00:41:54.751 --> 00:41:56.941
SSID as your name, like Yeah.

00:41:56.971 --> 00:42:05.071
Try to get, get away from, um, tying
every piece of your life to who you are.

00:42:05.761 --> 00:42:09.271
Um, and it is just because it's
just, it's gonna go a long way.

00:42:09.601 --> 00:42:09.901
Yeah.

00:42:09.991 --> 00:42:12.811
Um, trying to, trying to
cut those, those ties.

00:42:13.681 --> 00:42:14.011
Yeah.

00:42:14.191 --> 00:42:17.701
I, that brings, I mean, even
personally, like, I'm gonna change

00:42:17.701 --> 00:42:19.501
it before this podcast goes live.

00:42:19.531 --> 00:42:19.621
Mm-hmm.

00:42:19.621 --> 00:42:22.081
So I'm okay saying this, but
like, I don't think I ever even

00:42:22.081 --> 00:42:23.371
changed the password on my route.

00:42:23.401 --> 00:42:24.181
Wifi router.

00:42:24.211 --> 00:42:24.331
Yeah.

00:42:24.331 --> 00:42:25.141
It came outta the box.

00:42:25.141 --> 00:42:28.351
Like it was pretty basic
and just, but it was weird.

00:42:28.351 --> 00:42:30.451
So I was like, all right, we'll just
leave it and no one's gonna guess that.

00:42:30.451 --> 00:42:31.441
Well, guess what?

00:42:31.441 --> 00:42:33.721
I'm sure it's on some database somewhere.

00:42:34.036 --> 00:42:35.086
Yeah, absolutely.

00:42:35.236 --> 00:42:39.676
Um, yeah, but it'll be
changed in the next 24 hours.

00:42:39.676 --> 00:42:39.886
There we go.

00:42:39.886 --> 00:42:40.786
As soon as I get home.

00:42:40.846 --> 00:42:43.666
Um, and the other thing you were
talking about, Uber Eats and, and

00:42:44.086 --> 00:42:45.436
like delivery, that type of thing.

00:42:45.436 --> 00:42:47.566
I didn't even think about this,
but like, same with Amazon.

00:42:47.566 --> 00:42:50.686
Like, oh, everybody's getting
Amazon packages, everybody

00:42:50.716 --> 00:42:51.826
multiple a day probably.

00:42:51.826 --> 00:42:54.556
And it's like, yeah, you need to pay
for it with something, but that doesn't

00:42:54.556 --> 00:42:55.936
mean that has to be the delivery name.

00:42:56.461 --> 00:42:57.001
Exactly.

00:42:57.001 --> 00:42:57.241
Yeah.

00:42:57.241 --> 00:43:02.431
No, and it's oftentimes the, when, you
know, even when you're buying things, and

00:43:02.431 --> 00:43:05.701
I know there's gonna be some outliers,
but when you purchase things online,

00:43:05.971 --> 00:43:11.881
most of the time it just has to like
your, it's either the name and zip code

00:43:11.881 --> 00:43:15.571
or like the, you don't have to bill
out everything absolutely correctly.

00:43:15.571 --> 00:43:17.311
We did a whole experiment on it.

00:43:17.731 --> 00:43:21.241
Um, but, but yeah, like little bitty
things like that where you just, you know,

00:43:21.661 --> 00:43:24.301
don't put your real information out there.

00:43:24.751 --> 00:43:24.931
Yeah.

00:43:25.351 --> 00:43:25.801
Perfect.

00:43:26.236 --> 00:43:30.076
Uh, and one thing that we can do as
well is we have hardening guides.

00:43:30.136 --> 00:43:31.666
You know, we talked about
the phone hardening.

00:43:31.906 --> 00:43:36.256
We have a link to the hardening guides,
whether you have like a Samsung or an

00:43:36.256 --> 00:43:40.066
iPhone or whatever it may be, that we
can also link, uh, that people want

00:43:40.066 --> 00:43:43.036
to go through and, and harden their
phones, you know, after the show.

00:43:43.306 --> 00:43:43.846
That'd be awesome.

00:43:43.936 --> 00:43:46.246
Yeah, we'll, we'll definitely
attach that and put that out there.

00:43:46.276 --> 00:43:49.276
'cause I could probably use a refresh too,
even what we were talking about earlier.

00:43:49.831 --> 00:43:51.121
Every time Apple does an update.

00:43:51.121 --> 00:43:51.706
Yeah, yeah.

00:43:51.961 --> 00:43:53.011
Your settings get reset.

00:43:53.041 --> 00:43:53.281
Yeah.

00:43:53.281 --> 00:43:54.661
Like that blew my mind.

00:43:54.661 --> 00:43:56.731
I was like, oh, I already
hardened my phone two years ago.

00:43:57.031 --> 00:43:57.211
Yeah.

00:43:57.211 --> 00:43:58.321
Probably not very hard anymore.

00:43:58.471 --> 00:43:58.681
Yeah.

00:43:58.681 --> 00:44:00.571
So, well, well, thank you guys.

00:44:00.571 --> 00:44:03.331
Appreciate you being on, this is
super important and I know it's

00:44:03.331 --> 00:44:07.051
gonna generate a lot of conversation,
so look forward to hopefully,

00:44:07.051 --> 00:44:08.401
uh, troubleshooting some things.

00:44:08.401 --> 00:44:08.671
That's right.

00:44:08.671 --> 00:44:12.241
And most importantly, preventing
Absolutely any, you know.

00:44:12.646 --> 00:44:16.036
God forbid any physical security
breaches, but even the digital ones

00:44:16.036 --> 00:44:19.546
that we wanna try to prevent and
protect everybody's, uh, privacy

00:44:19.546 --> 00:44:22.006
and finances and everything else.

00:44:22.006 --> 00:44:22.456
So yeah.

00:44:23.056 --> 00:44:23.716
Thanks for being on.

00:44:23.776 --> 00:44:24.796
Yeah, thanks for having us.

00:44:24.826 --> 00:44:25.216
All right.

00:44:25.426 --> 00:44:25.966
Thanks a lot.

00:44:26.296 --> 00:44:26.896
See you in soon.
