Our guest for this episode is John Sileo. John's identity was used to embezzle $300,000 from his clients. While the thief covered his crimes using Sileo's identity, John and his business were held legally and financially responsible for the felonies committed. The breach destroyed John's company and consumed two years of his life as he fought to stay out of jail. In response, John made it his mission to help organizations and individuals protect the data that underlies their wealth. Combining real-world experience with years of study, John became an award-winning author, trusted advisor and keynote speaker on identity theft, cyber security, online privacy and digital fraud. John's body of work includes engagements with the Pentagon, USA Today, VISA, Rachael Ray, the FDIC, Pfizer, 60 Minutes, Homeland Security, Blue Cross, Anderson Cooper, Allstate, The Washington Post, the Federal Reserve, Fox Business, and organizations of all sizes. In our conversation, we discussed his story and how people and businesses can better protect themselves from hacking attacks.

Decades before mainstream America was discussing "Asking First" or sexual harassment cases were on the cover of every major media publication, Domitrz was being brought in by leading educational institutions and the U.S. military to help them pursue a new standard of consent and respect. Being the author of 3 books and an award-winning DVD, Mike Domitrz is one of the leading influencers and thought-leaders on the topic of Respect. You may have seen Mike on NBC Dateline as a featured subject matter expert or being quoted in international news publications such as Forbes and The Wall Street Journal. In 2003, Mike founded what is now The Center for Respect which conducts keynotes and workshops for tens of thousands each year. Mike's extensive experience enables him to connect with audiences of all ages in honest, unique conversations that are always built on creating positive behavioral change for each individual and the organization as a whole. Imagine teaching 15-year-olds about “Asking First” and then later that same day talking with CEOs about creating mutually amazing relationships in the workplace. You know Mike will be able to connect with each person in your organization. And now Mike is helping impact-driven leaders and entrepreneurs share their stories on stages as speakers - whether live virtual or live onsite. Instead of applying a uniform speaking formula, Mike draws out the uniqueness of each speaker's story while helping the speaker provide distinct clarity for their audience. Hall of Fame Speaker, John Sileo, says, "Mike's coaching is the opposite of formulaic. He takes the very best aspects of who you are as a person and helps you accentuate them as a speaker. Above all else, he helped me to connect authentically with the audience - in person and virtually - through attention-holding interaction, disarming humor, and masterful storytelling. My investment in Mike's coaching returns multiples every year.” Join us, in today's intimate and powerful episode with Mike as he shares his passion for preventing rape, and helping victims, Most especially his coaching programs that creates a meaningful relationship with those in attendance, Let's dive in.   [00:01 - 07:32] Opening Segment Kevin speaks about his experience having Mike as his speaking coach. Mike discusses how they got into the field of coaching and how their work revolves around creating a culture of respect. He shares how he is invited to schools, universities, corporations, and organizations on how to talk about sexual intimacy and consent, how to interview members that were harmed, and how they engage with each other. In addition; Mike shares about their paid speaker workshop and paid speaker accelerator and how it helps high-level executives and entrepreneurs to become better speakers. Getting direct messages from people sharing how their lives were changed, made Mike continue what he does best.   [07:33 - 11:26] An Event that Changed Mike's Life.  Mike shares how he started as a theater major and plans to be an actor on Broadway.  Devastated upon hearing her sister was raped, Mike struggled to move forward. The event made Mike and his sister closer. Inspired by her sister's strength and courage, Mike dedicated himself to this day to stop the crime of rape from happening.     [11:27 - 15:34] Becoming an Entrepreneur through Speaking.   Mike saw a speaker, and he realizes that he can use his voice, to help fight rape. Being an actor, Mike wrote a speech and went back to his former high school and asked if he can deliver what he wrote.  A former teacher encourages Mike to keep writing and delivering speeches telling him, “This is where you belong.” He continues asking different professors to speak in class and realizes he can build a speaking business in college. Mike was awarded Top 10 Collegiate Entrepreneur. Exhausted from doing it full-time, and having a hard time supporting his family, Mike dropped everything. Despite the circumstances, Mike's wife supported his career reminding him to continue doing what he does best.   [15:35 - 20:22] Choosing The Right People. Mike has found freedom in his work as an entrepreneur, and he has also been able to help others on their journey to becoming successful speakers, Mike shares that he has been very selective in who gets into his coaching program. For Mike, it's easier when everyone is playing at their highest level, surrounded by the best students makes it easy for him to be a brilliant coach.   [20:23 - 27:16] Closing Segment Finding your purpose and using your voice to help others not just telling them what to do and don't do, but what solutions you have, to change the world with a culture of respect.

And that is why we do what we do without a doubt to have people come back and say, I saw you 10 years ago, and here's how my life has changed. That's what it's all about. There's nothing that fuels the soul more than that. That's the epitome of really being in service to others. And that's what speaking allows you to do, to be in service to your audience.” -Mike Domitrz   “What are you going to help people build in their lives? What are you going to help instill? What skill sets are you going to give them? That's when you impact the world.” -Mike Domitrz

John Sileo left hi-tech consulting and became an entrepreneur to reclaim his greatest priority - being present, every day, for his wife Mary and their dream of starting a family. Six successful years, a $2M business and two precious daughters later, he lost it all to cybercrime.Because the cyber criminal, a company insider, masked the crimes using John's identity, John was held legally and financially responsible for the felonies committed.

John shares his entire story from stage. John has molded his first-hand experiences into a string of successes as an award-winning author, 60 Minutes guest and keynote speaker to the Pentagon, Schwab and thousands of audiences ready to take concrete action on cyber security, digital privacy and tech/life balance.About Simply Solving CyberThis show features an interactive discussion, expert hosts, and guests focused on solving cyber security and privacy challenges in innovative and creative ways.

On today’s All Business Live! with Jeffrey Hayzlett, we tackle two issues in the headlines: healthcare and cybersecurity, both untamed frontiers in different ways. Our first guest, Deb Ault, founder and president of AIMM (Ault International Medical Management) gives listeners a dose of reality on our current healthcare system. She says COVID-19 has turned healthcare into the wild, wild west creating pandemonium among business owners. She says that while not all of us will get sick, the expense of those who do could upend the entire system for employers and employees. So, what can be done? Become a more informed consumer. Business owners need to get smarter, too, by taking more control of their health insurance. Deb says with employers’ help, the healthcare system as we know it could be changed forever. Our next guest is trying to wrangle a different corner of the modern wild west, the internet. John Sileo, CEO & President of The Sileo Group, had his identity stolen – twice! Once was personal. Once was business related. Both were severe in their own ways and the criminals were barely punished. These experiences pushed John into cybersecurity because, as he tells Jeffrey, nobody is taking cybersecurity seriously enough. He also offered some easy ways for people to protect themselves and their business from cyber threats.

Be certain there are no back doors on your computer, change your passwords regularly and be sure not to click any links you're not sure of. And don't open any suspicious email, ever!
