Chasing Your Dreams All The Way to Brazil

We've all heard about the Colonial pipeline hack, one that cost the company $5 million dollars. How did it happen? And more importantly, how can you as a business owner protect yourself and your company? We'll be discussing this and more with industry experts Brittany Fugate and David Warner from Cenetric.  Here's the reality - 300,000 new malware programs are created every day, and because they often do not employ traditional virus coding, your anti-virus program likely will not protect you. A new hack occurs every 39 seconds. Hackers infiltrate a company's systems in as little as 18 minutes. No business or individual is safe unless they employ the proper safeguards, but the good news is that there are things you can do to prevent your company from falling victim to this pervasive threat.  A must listen!

DISC is an acronym of four different personality traits: Dominance - relating to control, power, and assertiveness Influence - relating to social situation and communication Steadiness - relating to patience, persistence, and thoughtfulness Conscientiousness - relating to structure and organization Tune in to Dr. Leroy, Jason, and Phil for an insightful discussion about DISC personality and how you can use it as a resource.

Season 3, EP#9 FB Live Chat with the Guys - Updates and Plans for 2021

We have another opportunity to have our dear friend and Industrial and Organizational Psychologist, Founder of The Connect IO, Dr. Leroy Simpson, to another of our talks. You might think that there's some symbolism or unusual story behind the title. Swords and pomegranates have several symbols in different cultures, and the fruit was prominently featured in the story of Persephone and Hades in Greek mythology. Unfortunately, today is not one of our story days. I would, however, say that this is equally as interesting and entertaining. It is just a laid-back but informative and fruitful (pun intended) episode where we talk about business, franchising, brand recognition, dreams, following your passion, and life lessons in general. If you're wondering how the title of this episode came about, you're in for a ride!

Sustainable Financial Management with Frank Byskov

This is sort of a PSA episode where we talk about Electoral College.  We figured that we educate ourselves and our audience a bit on the matter because the election time is fast approaching. Some of us don't entirely understand what it is about. So before casting our votes, it's good to know where it's going. In this episode, we shine a bit of light on the electoral college, its history, and how votes are going to impact the outcome. During these uncertain times, it's always good to be informed to make all our votes count. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dointhething/message

The Electoral College

Today’s episode is a role-playing session with Phillip. Where he tells the story of 3 struggling individuals barely making ends meet. One is a single parent an aspiring author that lives off of government welfare, the other is another struggling author that lives in a trailer working multiple minimum wage jobs, lastly, a 40-year-old man after being fired from a bunch of jobs was able to convince a small gas station owner to provide dining services for the customers. Imagine you’re a close friend or a relative or a counselor, seeing them barely getting by, living in a substandard situation, what would be your advice to them? After being rejected chance after chance, for opportunities that never seem to arrive, what would you tell them? One thing that these three individuals have in common is the belief in what they do and their persistence. The three people in these stories ended up wildly successful because they believed in their craft. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dointhething/message
