Install CentOS or Debian on a Raspberry Pi. I'm using CentOS, but I'll admit that Debian is the easier option by far. Do this on 3 separate Pi units, each with the same specs. Set hostnames You must have unique hostnames for each Pi. Without unique hostnames, your cluster cannot function. There are several "kinds" of hostnames, so to avoid confusion I change all of them. I use a simple naming scheme: k for "kubernetes" + an integer, starting at 100 + c for "cluster": $ sudo hostname k100c $ sudo sysctl kernel.hostname=k100c $ sudo hostnamectl set-hostname k100c $ sudo reboot Do this for each Pi. At a minimum, you end up with Pi computers named k100c, k101c, and k102c. Set verbose prompts When working with many different hosts, it's helpful to have a very verbose prompt as a constant reminder of which host you're connected to. Add this to the ~/.bashrc of each Pi: export PS1='[33[1;32m]! d t h:w n% [33[00m]' Install a Pi finder script Install an LED blinker so you can find a specific Pi when you need one. This brilliant script is by Chris Collins for his article Use this script to find a Raspberry Pi on your network, which explains how to run it. #!/bin/bash set -o errexit set -o nounset trap quit INT TERM COUNT=0 LED="/sys/class/leds/led0" if ! [ $(id -u) = 0 ]; then echo "Must be run as root." exit 1 fi if [[ ! -d $LED ]] then echo "Could not find an LED at ${LED}" echo "Perhaps try '/sys/class/leds/ACT'?" exit 1 fi function quit() { echo mmc0 >"${LED}/trigger" } echo -n "Blinking Raspberry Pi's LED - press CTRL-C to quit" echo none >"${LED}/trigger" while true do let "COUNT=COUNT+1" if [[ $COUNT -lt 30 ]] then echo 1 >"${LED}/brightness" sleep 1 echo 0 >"${LED}/brightness" sleep 1 else quit break fi done Install K3s on your control plane K3s is Kubernetes for IoT and Edge computing. It's the easiest, cleanest, and most serious method of getting Kubernetes on an ARM device. You can try other solutions (Microk8s, Minikube, OXD, and so on), but the best support comes from k3s. First, you must install k3s on one Pi. You can use any of your Pi units for this, but I use host k100c because it's the first in the sequence, so it feels logical. [k100c]$ curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io -o install_k3s.sh [k100c]$ chmod 700 install_k3s.sh Read the script to ensure that it seems to do what you expect, and then: [k100c]$ ./install_k3s.sh After installation, you're prompted to add some arguments to your bootloader. Open /boot/cmdline.txt in a text editor and add cgroup_memory=1 cgroup_enable=memory to the end of it. console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait cgroup_memory=1 cgroup_enable=memory Reboot: [k100c]$ sudo reboot Once the Pi is back up, verify that your node is ready: [k100c]$ k3s kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES AGE k100c Ready control-plane,master 42s This Pi is the "control plane", meaning it's the Pi that you use to administer your cluster. Get the node token Obtain the control plane's node token. Thanks to k3s, this is autogenerated for you. If you not using k3s, then you must generate your own with the command kubeadm token generate. Assuming you're using k3s: $ MYTOKEN=$(sudo cat /var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/node-token) $ echo $MYTOKEN K76351a1c2497d907ba7a156028567e0ccc26b82d2174161c564152ab3add6cc3fb::server:808771e4e695e3e3465ed9a14a0581da Add your control plane hostname to your hosts file If you know how to manage local DNS settings, then you can use a DNS service to identify the hosts in your cluster. Otherwise, the easy way to make your nodes know how to find your control plane is to add the control plane's hostname and IP address to the /etc/hosts file on each node. This also assumes that your control plane has a static local IP address. For example, this is the host file of k101c and k102c: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 10.0.1.100 k100c Verify that each host can find the control plane. For example: [k101c]$ ping -c 1 k100c || echo "fail" [k101c] Add nodes to your cluster Now you can add the other Pi computers to your cluster. On each Pi you want to turn into a computer node, install k3s with the control plane and token as environment variables. On my second Pi, for instance, I run this command: [k101c]$ curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | K3S_URL=https://k100c:6443 K3S_TOKEN="${MYTOKEN}" sh - On my third and final Pi, I run the same command: [k102c]$ curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | K3S_URL=https://k100c:6443 K3S_TOKEN="${MYTOKEN}" sh - Verify your cluster On your control plane, verify that all nodes are active: % k3s kubectl get nodes NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION k100c Ready control-plane,master 2d23h v1.21.4+k3s1 k102c Ready 21h v1.21.4+k3s1 k101c Ready 20h v1.21.4+k3s1 It can take a few minutes for the control plane to discover all nodes, so wait a little while and try the command again if you don't see all nodes right away. You now have a Kubernetes cluster running. It isn't doing anything yet, but it's a functional Kubernetes cluster. That means you have a tiny Pi-based cloud entirely at your disposal. You can use it to learn about Kubernetes, cloud architecture, cloud-native development, and so on. Create a deployment and some pods Now that you have a Kubernetes cluster running, you can start running applications in containers. That's what Kubernetes does: it orchestrates and manages containers. You've may have heard of containers. I did an episode about Docker containers in episode 1522 of HPR, you can go listen to that if you need to catch up. I've also done an episode on LXC in episode 371 of my own show, GNU World Order. There's a sequence to launching containers within Kubernetes, a specific order you need to follow, because there are lots of moving parts and those parts have to reference each other. Generally, the hierarchy is this: namespaces are the "project spaces" of kubernetes. I cover this in great detail in my GNU World Order episode 13x39. create a deployment that manage pods. pods are groups of containers. it helps your cluster scale on demand. services are front-ends to deployments. A deployment can be running quietly in the background and it'll never see the light of day without a service pointing to it. traffic, or exposure. A service is only available to your cluster until you expose it to the outside world with an external IP address. First, create a namespace for your test application to use. [k100c]$ k3s kubectl create namespace ktest The Kubernetes project provides an example Nginx deployment definition. Read through it to get an idea of what it does. It looks something like this: apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: nginx-deployment spec: selector: matchLabels: app: nginx replicas: 2 # tells deployment to run 2 pods matching the template template: metadata: labels: app: nginx spec: containers: - name: nginx image: nginx:1.14.2 ports: - containerPort: 80 This creates metadata named nginx-deployment. It also creates a label called app, and sets it to nginx. This metadata is used as selectors for pods and services later. For now, create a deployment using the example: [k100c]$ k3s kubectl --namespace ktest create -f https://k8s.io/examples/application/deployment.yaml Confirm that the deployment has generated and started new pods: [k100c]$ k3s kubectl --namespace ktest get all 3s kubectl --namespace ktest get all NAME READY pod/nginx-deployment-66b[...] 1/1 Running pod/nginx-deployment-66b[...] 1/1 Running NAME READY deployment.apps/nginx-deployment 2/2 NAME replicaset.apps/nginx-deployment-66b6c48dd5 See the pods labelled with app: nginx: [k100c]$ k3s kubectl --namespace ktest get pods -l app=nginx NAME READY STATUS nginx-deployment-66b6c48dd5-9vgg8 1/1 Running nginx-deployment-66b6c48dd5-prgrf 1/1 Running nginx-deployment-66b6c48dd5-cqpgf 1/1 Running Create a service Now you must connect the Nginx instance with a Kubernetes Service. The selector element is set to nginx to match pods running the nginx application. Without this selector, there would be nothing to correlate your service with the pods running the application you want to serve. [k100c]$ cat

We're in a new era in which exaggerated, misconstrued and sometimes completely false news stories exist. Verify that the data or study cited exists. This should be common sense, yes. If the news article you're reading doesn't link back to a source for the data or study, you should stop reading. Without that sourcing, you shouldn't believe that it exists. Donald Trump saying Fake News What is Fake News Center for Information Technology & Society The term fake news means “news articles that are intentionally and verifiably false” [1] designed to manipulate people's perceptions of real facts, events, and statements. It's about information presented as news that is known by its promoter to be false based on facts that are demonstrably incorrect, or statements or events that verifiably did not happen.  Fake news “is fabricated information that mimics news media content in form but…lack(s) the news media's editorial norms and processes for ensuring the accuracy and credibility of information” [2]. It overlaps with misinformation (false or misleading information) and disinformation (false information purposely spread to mislead people).

Knowing who to trust is key for not only business success, but personal success, as well. What I use in order to make the determination on which people to believe (and invest in) is a two-step process that I call trust and vet. Distrusting everyone is no way to approach life and the same can be said about blindly trusting everyone, but I prefer to take a more positive perspective to start. Give people the benefit of doubt when you initially interact, rather than taking a skeptic approach to those you meet.

While scams have been around for what seems like forever, there's been a MASSIVE increase in phone and text scams during the pandemic. [audio mp3="https://media.radiocms.net/uploads/2021/08/18132641/MaryAiken_CyberCrime_1808.mp3"][/audio] Recent reports from the likes of INTERPOL, Europol and the FBI have shown massive increases in crime since the pandemic began. In Ireland, the messages are regularly claiming to be from the likes of Revenue, Department of Social Protection and banks. Research from Bank of Ireland has found that 61% of participants have received a fraudulent call, text or email claiming to be from their bank. To understand how these scammers target us, how they're so believable and how to avoid falling for them, Bank of Ireland have teamed up with leading Irish cyberpsychologist Dr. Mary Aiken. Dr Aiken joined Dermot and Dave with her tips on avoiding the scammers, and why 'never trust, always verify' is the motto we all need to remember. You can catch Mary's tips by clicking play above.

The B.S. artists feature the imagined lifestyle of the rich in their TV ads, come-on speeches, and “how-to” materials. They also accessorize themselves with flash, like ostentatious jewelry and rented limousines or rented private jets. Subjective self description. The “about-the-authors” of the gurus I respect are generally written in Jack Webb style: “Just the facts, Ma'am.”  B.S. artists tend to have book jacket or ad copy which describes them as the “leading real estate expert in the United States today” or the “Number One, most-sought-after...” Their bios are full of baseless, subjective adjectives and nouns, like “innovative...... famous, spectacularly successful,” “authority,” etc. B.S. artists often use photographs or videotape of themselves hanging around executive jets, limos, yachts, mansions, five-star hotels, exotic resorts, or expensive cars to imply that they have achieved great financial success. No pitfalls or corrections. There are dangers in everything. But you rarely read about danger in a book by a real estate B.S. artist—or hear about it in one of his CDs or TV infomercials. Everybody makes mistakes. But you rarely read about a guru's mistake or see a correction in a B.S. artist's newsletter. The B.S. artists are self-proclaimedly big on being “positive.” And one of the things they're positive about is that the dream world they depict will not be marred by unpleasant reality. It's better for you to learn from the mistakes of others than to reinvent the wheel and lose your money in the process. On the other hand, worthwhile gurus are as likely to write about mistakes made (often by the guru himself/herself) and dangers overlooked as about spectacular profits achieved. And all ethical periodicals writers run corrections when they make a mistake.  No bad news. In addition to teaching techniques, real-estate investment gurus have to respond to news like court decisions, legislation, economic trends, and so forth. Of course, some of the news is bad. But the B.S. artists invariably respond to bad news in Pollyanna fashion. They always see “opportunity.” The closest they come to acknowledging the unhappy truth is to describe a situation as a “challenge.” B.S. artists don't acknowledge bad news is that they simply cannot shut off their slinging mechanism. They are B.S. kinda guys. There's nothing wrong with looking for opportunity in ostensibly bad situations. Many of my shows have done just that. You only become a B.S. artist when you look for it, can't find it, but claim it's there anyway. Universally-applicable techniques. The various techniques one can use in real estate investment are like mechanic's tools. The one you use depends on the situation and your goal. Just as no tool is appropriate for every mechanical job, neither is any real-estate-investment technique appropriate for every situation. Each has advantages and disadvantages and most are only useful in a narrow range of circumstances. The B.S. artists trot out one obscure technique after another in an effort to impress the customer with all the “new” material they are getting. But rarely is a word spoken about when the technique is appropriate. The reader or listener is left with the impression that the technique is appropriate for any and all acquisitions. Emphasis on motivational material. Every successful person I know has benefited from motivational books like The Power of Positive Thinking. Many of us have had life experiences like emotional high-school football pep talks which gave dramatic evidence of the power of focused motivation. I would not diminish the role of motivation in success in real estate or any other field. However, motivational material ought to be packaged as such. When books or CDs are described as containing how-to information on real-estate investment, they ought to contain little or no motivational material. The protest that the customer “needs” to be motivated is beside the point. It is dishonest to promise how-to information, then deliver a bunch of “You-can-do-it” platitudes instead. The motivational business, like patriotism in Samuel Johnson's memorable phrase, is one of the last refuges of scoundrels. Although there are many who approach the field of motivation with rigorous scientific discipline, there are more for whom the motivation business is merely a con —a chance to sell yet another cure-all “elixir” without having to get FDA approval.  Claim to do lots of deals. Virtually all the B.S. artists say, “I don't just teach these techniques. I use them every day in my own investment program.” Baloney. There aren't enough hours in the day. Gurus get the same 24-hour days as you. Being an expert takes time. We have to read many trade journals, loose-leaf services, and books to keep up to date. We have to spend hours on the phone interviewing sources for articles and books —and hours in the library researching legal cases and other relevant facts. As experts, gurus get interviewed by the media on the phone and in radio and TV studios and they make speeches to investors. Finally, we have to manage the guru business itself. That means designing brochures, responding to customer-service problems, checking proofs from the printer, indexing books, negotiating with printers and recording studios, going over the income and expenses of the guru business, and so forth. Obviously, we do not, after all that, have as much time as non-gurus do for investing. But in the financial guru business, the question, “Are you using these techniques yourself or just teaching them?” is ubiquitous. And any answer but, “Oh, yes,” seems devastating to the credibility of the guru. In fact, real-estate gurus (other than those who just dabble in guruing) who do a deal a month or more are extremely rare. Or they are buying garbage properties by the dozen—with little or no analysis or due diligence—mainly so that they can claim they do lots of deals and be technically accurate. High prices. Legit real estate books cost about $20 to $80 depending on whether they sell in book stores or only by mail. Mail-only books cost more because fewer are sold, press runs are shorter, and printing and handling costs per unit are higher. Legit real-estate seminars cost up to $500 per day. B.S. artists charge hundreds for their books and thousands for their “boot camps,” “training,” and “mentoring” services.  The Top Ten Ways to Know Your Real Estate Seminar is Actually a Con: The “nationally known” guru is not in attendance.  Whose experience is being taught?  Who has the experience to be able to credibly answer audience questions? What is the actual experience of the presenter and can it be verified? Where is their headquarters? Who is the person or persons behind this company? Someone did the work to gain the experience to teach. This can be taught from a curriculum and a powerpoint, but the most polished professional who is also inexperienced cannot truly serve a real estate audience.  The name of the company behind the event is vague, not mentioned, or purposely mis-leading.  Does he or she provide addresses of actual properties flipped? The Presenter's real estate credentials cannot be easily verified.  The Presenter does this presentation more than once a month. If they travel and do this presentation more than once a month there is NO possible way they are actively fixing and flipping houses.  Early in the presentation (usually within the first two hours), they will have you fill out a worksheet with all of your assets as possible funding sources. Available credit card spending, 401k balance, cash value of insurance policies, etc. Later they will use this information to prove to you that you actually can afford their 20-50k in training.  They take time to teach you how to call your credit card providers and ask for an increase in your limit. The really sneaky ones will put you in a group, challenge everyone to do it, bring you back and see if you collectively came up with an amount that would buy a house.  Results - lifestyle. Financial freedom Education of children - college Legacy  They make lots of promises to you. And they will seem great! They have an emotional story of their own financial distress and real estate saved the day. They will not let you take photos of the screens or record the event.  They want to sell you another more expensive course. Free - Low Cost - High Cost - Upgrade. Ways to check ahead of time: Check the name of the company. Look at their website. See what they emphasize.  Google the name of the company followed by the word “reviews.” This may not be helpful, but it can be. One company I researched had over 1000 hits on a website called “Ripoff Report.” Anyone can say anything there and not all of it should be believed. But 1000 reports? Ask in online forums - Bigger Pockets, Connected Investors, Facebook Groups,  etc. What have you heard about …? At the event, get the presenter's full name. Find out where he/she is from. Note as many property addresses as you can during the event. Check those addresses online for ownership and transfers of ownership. Look for an entity that owned the property for 4-6 months in the past two years. Later on, if you get a chance to speak with the presenter, casually drop the name of the entity you found and see if you get a glimmer of recognition. If you're convinced they are lying, just for fun, make up an entity name (or use your own if you have one) and ask them if that was the entity that bought 123 Main St (or whatever). See if they say yes.  What is “good, actionable information?” Begin with an honest and trustworthy information broker. Verify with multiple honest sources. Dip a toe in. Trust further. What is hype? Loud excited, lots of exclamation points.  Preys on your fears Motivational Quote: “You can't plan for everything or you never get started in the first place.” ― Jim Butcher “Start before you're ready.” ― Steven Pressfield “You don't have to be good to start ... you just have to start to be good!” ― Joe Sabah “A little action often spurs a lot of momentum.” ― Noah Scalin “The secrets of success are getting started and being persistent.” ― Debasish Mridha “Don't let perfectionism become an excuse for never getting started.” ― Marilu Henner “To Begin, Begin”  - Roger Blankenship

Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi, and welcome to the Sales Enablement PRO podcast, I'm Shawnna Sumaoang. Sales enablement is a constantly evolving space, and we’re here to help professionals stay up to date on the latest trends and best practices so that they can be more effective in their jobs. Today, I’m excited to have Jill Guardia at TriNet join us. Jill, I would love for you to introduce yourself, your role, and your organization to our audience. Jill Guardia: Thanks, Shawnna. I’m super excited to be here myself. I am a big fan, so I am happy to also get the stage if you will. Jill Guardia, I’m here in the Boston, Massachusetts area. I have been with TriNet for four-plus years and before that have had a variety of sales enablement roles, even back to the days of old sales training roles through a lot of different software companies such as Symantec, Groove Networks, Constant Contact, and Rapid7. I’ve been around the bend, if you will. TriNet is what we call a PEO, or a professional employer organization, and what that means is that we partner with small to midsize companies to do a lot of their HR services so they can focus on what they do best, which is the passionate management of the business that they started. I’m excited to be here. SS: Well, I’m excited to have you as well, Jill. I believe right now is actually a really exciting time for your team. I heard that you guys are growing and scaling the Enablement Org over at TriNet, and so I’d love to talk to you today a little bit about your advice on how to approach a transition into a new sales enablement role. I think there’s been a lot of change that has occurred in the past year with the shift of virtual, and now a lot of organizations are trying to figure out how to go back into maybe hybrid or in-person environments. I’d love to just start there. What advice do you have for how practitioners can set them up for success if they’re starting a new sales enablement role amidst all this change? JG: Yeah. I mean, it’s a great time to be in sales enablement and there are a lot of roles opening to both to supplement existing teams or to start teams brand new. I think sales forever has changed. We’ve talked about the changes in sales over the years, about how the buyer is so much more informed. That’s certainly something that has really weighed into a lot of decisions that sales enablement practitioners are considering, but now we add in the whole world changing post pandemic and you’re right, companies will probably do some things very differently. Probably have some sort of hybrid approach to how they sell and how they enable their teams, how to keep them motivated. For a sales enablement practitioner, I think we should start with the old adage of listen and learn. Spend some time listening to your clients, to your customers, to the sales organization across all levels, and be curious. Verify and validate what they’re saying to you. If one person says it, is it gospel? Do you need to hear from other people? Where is the trend so that you really know that you’re putting your energies into the right places? I think you need to think about, who are your advocates, your evangelists, your go-to people within the selling organization, and create a way to keep them on your hotline number, if you will. Whether it’s a chat, or slack, or just on your cell phone, a straight-up old-fashioned text. Talk to those people and get feedback from them. Think about removing assumptions, or even better yet, test assumptions. Don’t go into a new opportunity as a sales enablement leader and think, well, I know exactly how this should be, or I listened for three hours now I know what to do. Throw out some ideas, throw out some hypotheses, and test them and see if they’re going to work. SS: I love that. I think that’s a great technique. Another thing that we expect going into uncertainty with all of the changes is being able to navigate change, in particular at the leadership level. How does leadership turnover impact sales enablement, and what advice do you have for how enablement leaders can effectively manage this change? JG: Yeah, that’s a big one. I mean, we are all in the business of change in sales enablement. Changing around us, changing the selling environment, changing the leadership team, these are all transitions that you have to deal with on a regular basis. You’re going to have situations where new a leadership team is going to bring in their own teams, and that might leave you in a predicament, but be open to what that means to you and how you can learn something. Or worst comes to worst, leave, but leave on a good foot. They are calling this coming out of the pandemic, the post-pandemic, as the great resignation. We need to recognize that there’s change afoot in this theory of lots of job changers out there, so you need to think about your relationship with the new leaders. Think about what’s important to you. How have you been successful in the past? How do you build relationships with these people who are now in the seat of power? Find a way to connect first and foremost at a personal level. After that, think about, I need to be open. Maybe the new leader does enablement a different way. Maybe they would like to hear about how we’re doing it here. Be open to change. Have an open mind, it's really important. I would say be your authentic self. Don’t play games. It goes without saying, but this is business we’re in, so don’t play games. Come with authenticity and plan for how you’re going to represent you, how you’re going to represent your team. Don’t try to flood the new leader with we did this, and we were successful here, and we always do this, and this is the way we’ve done it, because you’ve lost them right from the start. On the other end of that, I would encourage full transparency and open, honest communication. You’re probably not perfect in your role today, and so as you meet and engage with your new leader, talk about some of the things that you’ve struggled with, some of the things that you would love to do better. I think coming with that open mindset is really going to make a difference as you learn and transition into a new team. SS: I think that open mindset is absolutely critical. What would you say from your perspective are some of the other core skills and attributes that sales enablement practitioners need to be successful in sales enablement today? JG: Yeah. I think that the post-pandemic world and really what’s happened in the last, what 15, 18 months has really just identified that we all need to be thinking and acting much more flexibly. We turned on a dime to transition all going home and working from an environment that we weren’t normally working in, and we were both flexible and adaptable. I think as we come out of that and look at the new world, we also have to keep that skill, so flexibility and adaptability would be really important I think. Also, ongoing would be just empathy for the seller, their environment is changing underfoot. The world is so different, but it’s also the same. You really need to put yourself in the shoes of the selling organization that you’re supporting. I think you need to work with urgency as long as you’re working on the right things. You have to balance between important and urgent. And then the last thing, be willing to make mistakes. You learn from your mistakes. That’s how we get better at what we do. SS: Absolutely. Now, Jill, you are from my perspective, and I know many in the sales enablement industry view you as not only an enablement leader within your own organization, but amongst the community of enablement professionals. I’d love to understand from you, what are some of your top tips for how enablement professionals can advance their own careers within the enablement field? JG: I love that question too, Shawnna, because it is a great time to be in the world of sales enablement, revenue enablement, or whatever employee experience and enablement. It’s really getting very broad. I think that, like we often talk to sellers it's about building your ecosystem, networking. You need to think like a seller and create an environment around you of people who can help you succeed. Now, some of those people are going to be in sales enablement, and some of them might be in sales operations, or they might be in true seller roles, but I think you need to think through, what does your own personal ecosystem look like? I would add to that, there’s so many enablement organizations that are coming out, Sales Enablement PRO, of course, SE Society as well, and there are other little groups that are bubbling up. Find one that works for you. You might not want a big, broad one, you might want something really local, you might want something that networks on a monthly basis. You need to find something that you can invest in and make the time for and prioritize. As I was thinking about our conversation today and I went back to a 1995 issue of Fast Company, and probably some of the listeners may not have even been born yet in 1995, but there was one of the early Fast Company magazines that came out and it said, “work is personal.” I remember that headline, even though it’s so long ago, because it really resonated even for me and my career around sales enablement. Some of my best friends are enablement practitioners. This has become a lifelong journey, and I think that people will find people who share the same ideas, share the same strategies, share the same values in sales enablement, and they’ll connect with them. Forever, they will all be better people. SS: I love that. In any enablement role, we’ve talked about being able to partner with those in leadership roles, but getting stakeholder buy-in has always, I think especially for enablement been, an important component of success. I mention this because at one of Sales Enablement PRO's Sales Enablement Soiree Events back when we were having in-person events, which hopefully we will again very soon, you mentioned in a panel that you were on at that event how critical it is to get 360-degree buy-in, not just at the executive level. How can sales enablement practitioners get buy-in for enablement initiatives across all levels of the organization? JG: Yeah, that’s a great question because it’s really important. If you just have a relationship with the leadership team, you probably don't get the results that you want because it becomes more of a police nation. I don’t think anybody really sets out with that goal in mind. It’s important that you, whether you’re a team of one or a team of many, really look across the sales organization and make the time to invest in building those relationships. With a rep, you might ask to do ride alongs, listen in to phone calls, help coach them If they’re struggling. With a sales manager, you might have a monthly one-on-one and talk about how everyone’s doing on the team and see if there’s any areas that you or someone on your team can support in their growth and development. With the leadership team, it’s gaining buy-in. It’s almost starting at the top with an enablement initiative. I want to get you Mr./Ms. VP through the program so you see the content, you consume it like a rep would, consume it and you give us real actionable feedback about how we can ensure that it’s part and parcel of what we do. We talked about it a little bit already, but it’s about making that investment in the individuals throughout your organization that gravitate to you, gravitate to enablement, gravitate to the content and the programs that you’re delivering. I’m sure everyone knows who they are. You can probably get a list of people off the top of your head. If you think about it, who’s always the first one to do that training? Who’s always the one who says this is great, you should do it? Work on building and establishing those relationships and use them to help spread the news, spread the wealth, and to give you real practical feedback on everything that you do. Don’t just do it as a one-off, do it continuously, and you’ll find that people will voluntarily give you the feedback that you desire and that you need to do better with what you are doing. SS: I love that answer, Jill. Now, I’ve enjoyed this entire conversation. I think this is not only exceptionally useful for those that might be looking to go into the role of sales enablement, but even for those that have well-established careers within enablement. I just want to close with one final question because I love that, and you’d mentioned earlier that it’s really important for enablement professionals to be in the mindset of a seller. I had once heard you mention that selling with curiosity is one of your key priorities for this current year. I think curiosity is so important across multiple professions, but especially within sales enablement. Can you share what this means for your enablement team and how this mindset can help the sales organization get set up for success in the coming years? JG: That’s a great question. Selling through curiosity is definitely a mindset, and when you take out any “fancy words,” it’s just wanting to know more. When we think about the whole profession of being a seller, our best sellers want to know more. They’re motivated to understand their prospect and how they can solve problems for their prospect. If we take that out of the seller and put it into the seller enablement team, then we’re doing the same thing. We’re asking questions, we’re not ever satisfied, we want to do better. When we do something, anything, whether it’s our kickoff or it’s a new product launch training, before during, and after we say, what could we do better? How would this have been more useful for you? We have a leadership meeting coming this week and our last poll question is, should we do more of these? It’s as simple yes, no, of course, but it’s the kind of thing that lets you be curious about the types of reactions that you’re going to get. We try and do that whether the projects big or small. SS: I love that. I tell my team something very similar. That nothing’s ever perfect, and we can always find new ways to improve. Jill, thank you so much for joining us today. I enjoyed this conversation and the opportunity to catch up with you. JG: Thank you, Shawnna. It was great. SS: To our audience, thanks for listening.

Sustainability has, frankly, been mostly a marketing phrase for well over a decade. But that's changing amid increasing demands from consumers and governments to “be sustainable.” Companies are pushing their ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) standards onto their producers. Meaning, farmers will be held to certain production practices to be allowed to sell their products. That's where Hummingbird Technologies comes in — they're the verification arm for large Ag companies and they use artificial intelligence to do it. Listen to founder Will Wells explain where Ag is and where it's going in relation to sustainability. Sponsored by LandTrust landtrust.com

Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish. ~ Proverbs 18:13 (NLT) We live in the era of “fake news,” or so it is said. Shade is thrown this way and that. It's so easy to share information we agree with by simply clicking a button or retweeting. There are lots and lots of stories out there that can fuel anger, or provide inspiration. However, how many of these stories are actually true? Many years ago, a friend of mine shared an alarming story about a proposed law making its way through congress that would greatly restrict the freedoms of Christians, particularly those that keep Saturday as Sabbath. This law was supported by top members of each political party, and was sure to pass unless we called our congressmen immediately. It even named the bill and its reference number, something like HB 2435-12 (which would stand for “House Bill 2435-12”). I looked at the number of shares this posting had attained, and it was in the hundreds of thousands. The article was connecting with people in such a way that they felt it must be true, so they were sharing it with all of their digital friends to warn them of the impending crisis. There was just one, simple problem. The story was totally bogus. A simple search of the congressional record (It's where all of the bills are logged) would show that no such House Bill existed. Furthermore, a quick search of the alleged sponsors of the bill would also turn up zero results. They were simply the creation of someone's mind. In a world where people feel like they can't trust anything, how can we spread the gospel while we spread lies? Any trust we have is gone, and people simply turn away. King Solomon had some wisdom to share on this topic, when he wrote “Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish.” Whether it is gossip, a news story, a blog, vlog, snap chat, tweet, or whatever is invented this afternoon, it is up to you to verify whether it is accurate or not. Because, by you sharing it, you are just as liable as the person who wrote it. So, please, go to the source. Check the congressional register. Go to the person being gossiped about. Verify the information from the source, not the repeaters. Christians are called to be people of integrity. We are called to stand on the truth. So, please, do so.

On this episode of the Planned Solutions Incorporated Podcast, US economic data has been extremely strong in recent months. Most of the leading economic indicators are at very high levels and have been trending in a positive direction over the past several months. A few areas have still not fully recovered but in most cases, there are easy explanations for this subpar recovery, such as supply chain disruptions, which may be solved in the coming months. Also, Too often estate planning documents do not take into account the possibility of a future divorce. As a result, estate plans may be frozen for months while a property settlement is hashed out. This could lead to undesirable outcomes should one party die or become incapacitated during the divorce process. Therefore, it may be beneficial to plan ahead and make contingency plans just in case. And, Many people are surprised to find out that Social Security pays a $255 death benefit when a recipient of Social Security benefits passes away. In cases where Social Security has the information required, they will automatically send out the payment. However, in other cases, a surviving spouse or eligible child may need to apply for the death benefit within two years of the date of death for a payment to be issued. Plus a look at the Planned Solutions Incorporated Office Bulletin Board- Identity theft and fraud continue to be all too common. However, several best practices can be used to protect yourself: 1. Be suspicious of unsolicited phone calls, e-mails, and texts asking you to send money or disclose personal information. If you receive a suspicious call from an individual or institution that does not accept it, hang up, and call back using a known contact number. 2.

How to Avoid Making the Worst Hiring Mistake of Your Life Episode #305 with David Harris Hiring without due diligence will cost you your time, money, and mental health. To teach you how to make better hiring decisions for your practice, Kirk Behrendt brings back David Harris, CEO of Prosperident. From drug tests to social media, David gives you the best tips to weed out bad candidates early on. Want to know the habits of time thieves and embezzlers? Listen to Episode 305 of The Best Practices Show for more of David's advice! Main Takeaways: Hiring the wrong person is costly — in time and money! Weed out unsuitable candidates as early as possible. Dental practices need to do drug tests and background checks. You can't reliably do background checks yourself! Broaden your applicant pool and don't hire in a hurry. Don't give predictable questions in interviews. Check applicants' social media pages. Don't use phone numbers that applicants give you. Google it yourself. Confirm exact dates of employment, not approximate dates. Look for gaps. Ask former employers about applicants' final positions. Also ask if they would rehire them. Use a reference number in the application to test if they follow instructions. Require applicants to record a brief video as part of the application. Make applicants invested from the beginning. Standardize your application form so that you're not influenced by visuals. Verify credentials and check photo IDs! And check IDs when they're not ready. Involve staff in the interview process. Be upfront about the scrutiny applicants will be under. Quotes: “If you put 200 dentists in a room and you asked them, ‘How many of you enjoy hiring staff?' I'd be very surprised if anything more than two hands went up. Dentists hate this job. And like any job that you hate, when a shortcut magically appears in front of you, you're really tempted to take it. And that gets you into trouble when you're clearing snow off the roof of your house and you take shortcuts, and it equally gets you in trouble when you hire staff.” (05:33—06:06) “The reality is that most dentists make hiring decisions with less information than they should have. And the part that should get their attention is that, in most cases, that information is right there in front of them, and they just either didn't realize that it would help them or didn't realize how easy it was to get full information so that they can make a good decision.” (06:43—07:07) “If you want to play the HR lottery and hire people blindly in the hope that they turn out okay, when you're wrong — and I'm going to say “when” here as opposed to “if” — you're going to dump a lot more time into that than it ever would've taken you to vet this person properly at the beginning.” (08:03—08:26) “About 70 million Americans — so that's one in four adults — has a criminal record.” (08:33—08:39) “We're entrusting dental practice employees with money, with protected health information, with sharp instruments. We just need to know a little bit more about them than traditionally dentists do.” (10:06—10:23) “There is no website you can go on to and pay $50 and have it reliably tell you whether or not somebody has a criminal record . . . Unfortunately, it's not something you can do yourself and go to some website and get the answer.” (12:22—12:59) “One of the mistakes that a lot of people make is that they're hiring in a hurry. The reason that they're hiring in a hurry is that somebody leaves on short notice, and then the poor doctor is starting from zero and trying to build a relationship with somebody that they're going to hire and do it all within 48 hours. And that's never a good idea.” (15:01—15:24) “In your life, when you meet people who you think might be a good fit for your practice — and you can meet them in all kinds of different places — start keeping track of that.” (15:26—15:36) “If we have to choose, and most times we do, between personality and knowledge,...

Thanks to all my followers and listeners who have supported me in the last week. I talk about several things in this podcast: First off, my quest to be verified, now that Twitter has reopened verification applications, and how this will help the podcast. Plus I talk about the HILARIOUS Senate Banking Committee hearing on big banks helping during the pandemic. We discuss a lot of the topics they talk about, plus a lot of the lies they told. I run 2 clips in the podcast. One of a very pissed off Elizabeth Warren tearing a new one into CEO of Chase, Jamie Dimon, and his smug-ass attitude to the fact that Chase made over $1.4 Billion in Overdraft Fee revenue last year. Then. The most hilarious one where NJ Senator Menendez asks Brian Moynihan, CEO of BofA if they offer a no-cost, no-fee alternative for unbanked customers and he responds by saying they do, and it costs $5/month lol. Next topic: 1 year after George Floyd, big banks made a lot of big promises. We will talk about how banks are still absent from a lot of the conversation about race, mainly because it exposes their issues. Finally: We kinda touch on Kate Kelly's NYT article on Tom Montag, the #2 at Bank of America and allegedly the heir apparent to Moynihan. We discuss his apathy for employees who chose to work from home, judged them differently, took away bonuses, and was a part of a toxic work culture at BofA, a culture I have seen on the retail side for years, and I discuss that in detail.

[Following is an automated transcript of show #1114 aired on weekend of 2021-05-22] Craig Peterson: Hi everybody.Craig Peterson here. We're going to start out with a couple of Tesla articles in the news this week. These things are really not self-driving. I don't care what Tesla calls them and some problems people got themselves into. [00:00:21]Tesla has had all kinds of news. And sometimes I wonder what is happening here? [00:00:28] Is this Elon Musk, just trying to get a little bit more notoriety? I don't think so. Because there have been so many negative articles out there. One of the reasons I would be extremely hesitant to buy a Tesla has to do with the door handles. Something as simple as the door handles, you probably know for a decade, I was a volunteer in our emergency medical squad here and was doing paramedic work for anybody that needed it. [00:00:59]No charge. I wasn't charging the town wise, but. It was something where I got to see a lot of accidents and sometimes I was first on the scene, beat the fire department there sometimes even beat the police department there, although there were normally their first because they're out on the road and I'm at home in bed asleep in the middle of the night. [00:01:19]I saw, as you can imagine some horrific things and all of you guys that are first responders listening, you've seen some just terrible things as well. And one of the things that really bothers me about the Tesla are the handles. The door handles the outside. Door handles to be a little more specific. [00:01:38] Tesla has had some amazing crash tests. I don't know if you've seen them, but these Tesla cars broke the testing gear over the national highway transportation safety board. They had to come up with new tests because these Tesla cars just. Took those crashes and did extremely well. And seeing what Elon Musk's company space X has been able to do with these rocket ships, they have mastered the art of having a computer kind of predicted. [00:02:10] What is going to happen in various circumstances. So it wasn't a huge surprise for me to see that they said, Hey, yeah, you're in a car accident. One of these things that these cars were scoring at 11, a 12 out of 10, they were just that good. But the problem I have with that handle is exemplified by an attorney. [00:02:33] I think he was out in Los Angeles, who was in an accident. And I remember in the Tesla cars and all of these electric cars, there are batteries. And the batteries are typically some form of lithium ion, and there's a lithium glass. That's under development, all kinds of cool stuff going on with those batteries. [00:02:51] But the reason they're using them is that they hold a huge charge because you don't want to just go 79 miles on a charge. Most of the time you don't. One of the reasons I'm not real fond of electric cars is when I'm going for a drive, I'm going for a drive, right? We'll drive to Florida. [00:03:10] We'll drive to the middle of the country. We'll go up to Montana to British Columbia. So a lot of people are saying, okay, so you just go ahead and you get a gas powered vehicle for that type of driving, and then you can use an electric car for most of your driving. So if most of the driving that they're talking about is the number of times I get into the car. [00:03:31]Then that would work, cause most of the time or money into the grocery store or running an errand here or there. So an electric car probably would be okay for that now. I have gotten many times before into the science behind electric cars and how they are nowhere near as green as even diesel vehicles are nowhere near. [00:03:53] When you consider the entire life cycle, the manufacturing all the way through how many miles you can get out of these things. But the concern with this attorneys' crash was that the batteries were damaged in the crash. And you can imagine what that means, right? You get rear-ended, you get hit in a certain way that battery pack is impacted. [00:04:17] Things can happen. And our friends over at MythBusters back when they were still on TV, did a little test on this. They built a rig in the back of a garbage truck, because there were stories about these garbage trucks getting caught on fire and catching on fire. And the theory was while it's lithium batteries. [00:04:39] And we're talking about small ones, they're the type that you have in a small cell phone. So they built a rig in the back of the truck, the garbage truck. And the strapped a lithium-ion battery to the front of this rig, which was a wedge, right? Cause they wanted to make sure that it bent and bending that battery now, cause day short, remember these batteries are designed to hold as much power as they possibly can. [00:05:07]If you have a short circuit inside of battery, what's going to happen. Think about a, an old light bulb, the Edison bulbs that we had for over a hundred years, and those bulbs had a filament inside. And that filament, when it was heated up, what did it do? It. God gave us light and it also gave us heat. [00:05:28] The heat is the problem here because our MythBusters friends were able to get that battery to ignite in that rig. And of course it ignites inside a trash truck. Remember trash trucks are always compacting everything. If it goes ahead and ignites inside that maybe you catch the trash on fire. In fact, they were able to get it. [00:05:49] To catch on fire. And this attorney's Tesla caught on fire in the accident. Now, when you have passers by who see an accident, usually they'll stop and they'll try and help. We're that kind of thing. People were all good Samaritans, at least almost all of us. And I have no remember remembrance at all of it, a single car accident where I got there. [00:06:13] And there was no one there. Sometimes it was just the police officer, but there's always someone who tries to stop. So these people who stopped to try and help this guy who was in his Tesla could not open the doors. And the reason was that the Tesla has these recessed handles. Yeah. They look cool. GM. [00:06:34] A lot of the GM vehicles have had those handles over the years. And again, it's not something I would drive because of that. There's nothing to grab onto because sometimes in an accident you need to pry that door open and by prying it open, grab a handle a good solid handle and pull hard on that handle. [00:06:57] And if you can pull hard on that handle, you can open that door sometimes if it's just that the frame's bent a little bit and you can get that person out. And in this case, that attorney was not able to get out of that car. That battery was damaged and the battery heated up and caught on fire. And we'll leave it at that. [00:07:19] You can imagine what happened. So the Teslas have done very well in crash tests, but. They have not done well when the batteries are damaged in a certain way. And that's why I have a bit of an issue with it. But we got two articles in the news this week. This first one's from Reuters and that'll be in the newsletter that comes out on Saturday, but a Tesla driver was killed in an accident out in California. [00:07:46] And this guy was one of these tick tock people, tick tock, that's that website where you can put up these short videos. And oftentimes there's a theme. There's a whole series of themes. People, post videos using the same music or whatever it might be. And he had posted videos on what a beard to be his Tik TOK account in which he was driving with this hand off the route, the wheel. [00:08:14] Now you can obviously take your hands off for a second or two and almost any car. And I don't know that I would consider that safe, it, it happens and it's happened before, but he was posting these pictures and praising Tesla's self driving. In fact, he said full self-driving features. May 5th and Tesla model three crashed into an overturned truck on a highway in Fontana, California, if Southern California, nowhere Fontana is there. [00:08:46] You might anyways. And that crash, of course, as I mentioned, killed the Tesla driver, injured the truck driver and a motorist who had stopped to help him. So again, we're seeing the problem with these self-driving features. And you might remember a few months ago, I was talking about a little study that was done. [00:09:09] They made police cars out of a balloon. It was just a big blow up car. That was a balloon. And they put it part way in a lane, just like a police officer might stop someone and being partially in the lane. And then they had different self-driving cars or cars that had, the autonomous semi-autonomous mode the follow behind mode, et cetera, go down that road and see what happens. [00:09:34] And they kept hitting the cop. In this case, we're talking about an overturned truck on a highway. And apparently Tesla got it wrong. The associated press was citing. The police saying preliminary investigation determined that the Tesla's driver assistance system autopilot was engaged prior to the crash. [00:09:58] And. I've got a problem with them calling it an autopilot because it isn't, it's not like an airplane where you engage the autopilot and then you just keep a basic eye on things. People are treating it like it's an autopilot as in you can go to sleep. And when we come back here in just a minute, I'm going to talk about something just like that with another Tesla driver. [00:10:21] So there's no final determination as to what driving mode the Tesla was in. But there's a couple of videos of him driving with his hands off the wheel, posted on his alleged Tik TOK account, 35 year old, Stephen Hendrickson running Springs in California, and a couple of quotes from him. What would I do without my cell driving? [00:10:43] Excuse me, full self-driving tests. After a long day at work, he said, I messaged them. One of them coming home from LA after work. Thank God. Self-drive best car ever. So when we get back, we're going to talk about this a little bit more. What are people doing with Teslas and what should we be doing? Where are we going? [00:11:05]Frankly, I think we're jumping the gun here. Hey, you're listening to Craig Peterson. You'll find me online@craigpeterson.com. [00:11:13]And we were just talking about Tesla, my biggest fear with Tesla, the biggest problem as I see it, the reason number one reason I won't buy a Tesla. Which has to do with the door handles and not being able to use them to easily pry out a door and occupant of the vehicle because yeah, they're supposed to pop open. [00:11:38] Yeah. They're supposed to open, but in this particular case I'm talking about, they just did not do it, which is a real problem. Very problem. The national highway traffic safety administration has been investigating. This is according again to Reuters, more than two dozen crashes of Tesla vehicles, including this Fontana crash and a high profile crash in Texas last month that killed two men. [00:12:06] Since 2016, at least three Tesla vehicles operating on autopilot have been in fatal crashes. Two involving a Tesla car driving beneath a semi-truck in Florida. The U S transport safety board said Tesla's autopilot system failed to properly detect a truck as it crossed the car's path, contributing to the accident. [00:12:29] Also caused by a lack of driver attention and an adequate driver monitoring system. Now you can't say three or four crashes of a Tesla where there was a death involved represent much without knowing how many miles are being driven. It's like people saying yeah, it's way safer to fly in an airplane than it is for you to drive your car. [00:12:57] And yeah, if you're talking about miles driven, that's very true. The airplane is safer than the car and yeah, at this point it actually looks like these Tesla cars might well be safe for then a car operated by human. It is borderline. You could argue some of the statistics I've seen them argued both ways, but it's not a bad vehicle from, from the general safety standpoint. [00:13:27] But as I said, we've got another Tesla story this week, and this is from a guy his name's param Sharma 25 years old lives out in middle California and in the Bay area. And he has been arrested twice and he was booked into the Santa Rita jail on counts of reckless driving and disobeying an officer. So what was happening? [00:13:55] What was he doing? He apparently was driving his Tesla the back seat. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. It's absolutely incredible. So this is an interesting one, too. This is a KTV you Fox two reporting. You said perineum Sharma met KTV use Jesse Gary in San Francisco, Wednesday afternoon. Not far from his mother's high rise apartment. [00:14:24] After getting out of jail on two counts of reckless driving, he pulled up sitting in the back seat of a Tesla with no one. In the driver's seat when asked to be purchased a new Tesla after the previous one was impounded, he said, yeah, I'm rich as beep. I'm very rich. I feel safer back here than I do up there. [00:14:46] And that was him sitting in the right rear passenger seat of his Tesla being interviewed by the Fox affiliate TV station there in San Francisco. It's absolutely amazing to me. And he's saying how he's been brake checked before, which of course is something way more in California than you would out here in Northeast where I live. [00:15:11] And that's where somebody slams on their brakes. Who's in front of you. Cause they don't like what you're doing. And he says, Oh, my Tesla came to a complete stop. Tesla's CEO really knows what he's doing. I think people are tripping and they're scared. It's incredible. The police officer that had arrested him said that he was sitting in the rear seat driving quote unquote, the Tesla. And when the police officer pulled him over, he climbed up into the driver's seat in order to stop the car, the guy even posted a video. Saying, I just got out of jail already got another Tesla. You feel me? I'm rich like that. It came out of the pandemic, a beeping millionaire and some more swear words that I won't repeat here. [00:16:01] So the CHP California highway patrol spokesman told Vice's motherboard. It's just a website covers a lot of tech. That it's recommending charges to the district's attorney's office and conducted a thorough investigation that will consider the possibility of previous incidents and pop, obviously his social media. [00:16:21] So here's your problem. According to Tesla, autopilot is a hand on driver assistance system. It's intended to be used only with a fully attentive driver. And I mentioned some of the problems that Tesla has been known to have consumer reports has also reported. This is just last month that Tesla's driver monitoring system not only failed to make sure the driver was paying attention, but it also couldn't tell if there was a driver there at all. [00:16:57] Obviously if it could tell there is a driver there, it wouldn't have been able to be driven, quote unquote from the back seat. Tesla's full self-driving system has more capabilities, but again, this is from Tesla, both autopilot and full self-driving capability are intended for use with a fully attentive driver who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment. [00:17:24] Cadillac came out with a system. I liked this idea where it vibrates. If it notices that you're not paying attention, it'll vibrate, your seat. Some of these vehicles will vibrate your steering wheel. Just wake you up. Hey, wake up. There's various levels of autonomy. [00:17:42] Level five is. You don't need a driver at all. And Elon Musk says that he expects Teslas will be available at the end of this year, perhaps in 2022, that we'll have full what's called level five automation, which means they can drive without any human attention. The California DMV says the Tesla's director of autopilot software told regulators that Musk's predict and timeline does not match engineering reality. [00:18:16] Okay. So again, the it's somebody on the marketing side, that's overselling things a little bit, or maybe a lot a bit. I don't, I really don't know, but. They do have permits in California to operate these vehicles in full autonomous mode, as long as there's human backup drivers. And I think it's good. [00:18:36] I think we're moving forward and the investigations into these crashes are going to make us, I think, ultimately a lot safer. So let's say that there's a crash where the human at a wheel of a normal car they'll then investigate, they'll say it was at a human's fault. And then insurance companies kick in and payments are made maybe a driver's license is suspended or removed from that. [00:19:03] Person, but when we're talking about an autonomous vehicle, like a Tesla, when they do the investigation and they find a flaw in the assumptions made by the programmers, their software, that's in the computer, that flaw. Is probably fixable, which means that type of accident will probably not happen again. [00:19:27] And that's where I'm looking at it and saying these ultimately are going to make our roads safer. Cause hairy men make a mistake and Harry May not make that mistake again. But Mary May make that mistake when she's out driving. But if the slow car has an accident, they fix the problem. Teslas are probably not going to have that accent again. [00:19:50] So I'm looking forward to this in the future on not sure it's going to be this year, maybe next. Make sure you're on my newsletter. Craig peterson.com/subscribe. [00:20:01]I've been talking about this Tesla driver, and I just absolutely loved this. Cause I, I did a little searching on him. I went to duck, go and poked around a little bit to find out who is the sky, this Sharma guy who's driving from the back seat. And remember he says, he's rich as bleep. [00:20:20] And so he doesn't care that his car was impounded. He just went out and bought another one. His money apparently comes from his parents who apparently were in the banking business. And then he Rose to fame during the whole lockdown because he was posting videos of him driving his Tesla. From the back seat and making all kinds of outlandish statements. [00:20:48] That's how he got rich. And the rest of us, what are we doing? We're busting ourselves, trying to get everything done that we can possibly get done and hoping people notice, oh man. I guess frustrating. Sometimes every year. Verizon publishes some cybersecurity stats. And I absolutely love these. [00:21:09] I pay attention to them. I read them from cover to cover because they are absolutely. Correct. This is their 2021 data breach investigations report. And it helps me to understand what's happening out there in the world. And of course I follow the news stories every week and it also lets me know information about the surveys that they have done with business owners and it executives and everything else. [00:21:41] So they came out with some new stats I would expect. That there was a change because so many people were working from home. And to me it would seem obvious that with people working from home on computers, that probably are not properly secured, they're probably in properly using VPNs that we would see an increase in ransoms. [00:22:08] Now we know that we did right. 300% increase last year because of people working from home and businesses, just not having things set up properly. And that makes sense. Cause most businesses, they, it's not their business to do cybersecurity. They're just trying to stay in business. I had a meeting this week with one of my clients, a longterm client he's been climbed for, I don't know, 25, 30 years. [00:22:34] And it was interesting to me to get his perspective. In fact, it was very informative because I live and breathe this cyber security stuff. He doesn't, and he has. Concern about cybersecurity. It would be inconvenient to have ransomware in his mind because he has a lot of stuff on paper and I could maybe use the backups. [00:23:01] Now we were keeping reminding him, Hey, you're doing the backups yourself. You don't have us doing them where we automatically, at least once them once a month. We start your systems from backups. We do that in the cloud. We have our own little cloud. We don't do this up on like Amazon or anything, but we do it locally. [00:23:22] And that way we know the backups. Good. Because if we can start your machines up in our little cloud, we know that we got a good backup. He has never tested his backup. We had, we had another client like that. And when we picked them up as a client, we went in and they were taking home hard desks every day, religiously, just like this guy is. [00:23:45] And so he they would take the desks, bring in Monday's desk, plug it in Monday morning and leave it plugged in all day. So the backup would go on to that desk. And then Monday night he would take that disc home and then Tuesday he'd bring in Tuesday's desk. Now there's a lot of problems here. One is they never tested it ever. [00:24:12] And they'd been doing this for least 18 months prior to us getting there, because that was the advice or somebody, somebody said, yeah, all you have to do install the backup software and. Plug in your disc every week. So number one, it had never been tested, right? You got to test these things end to end. [00:24:29] You have to do full restores, which they weren't doing. The other thing that is a problem with these USB drives is you plug them in. Are they really working? How many errors are on that drive? Are you even checking the logs from the backup software? So they had a server, in fact, in both cases and all that, I think of it, they had a server and it had a raid array. [00:24:54] It had three drives and a raid five configuration. For those of you who know what that means. And basically what that means is you could lose one drive and you'd still be okay. So the idea is that drive goes bad. You replace that drive, you re silver the whole thing and then you're off and running again, so you can lose another drive and you'd be okay. [00:25:18] But in both cases, both of these businesses had a bad drive in the raid array. And they didn't notice it. They didn't know. And at least in this other customer they had never ever checked to see if their backup was working and in the second customer. So in both of them, they never checked. [00:25:39]And they said, so how much would you charge us to. Verify it. And we said we'd want to spin it up. And that means you have to copy everything. We'd have a bunch of bench time, so it'd be 500 bucks and we'll make sure your backups are working. Oh no, we can't. We can't do that. We can't pay them 500 bucks, so who knows still, we don't know if the backups working. They think that they could recover from paper, that ransomware isn't going to be so bad and extortion doesn't matter. My head just spins with this stuff. It really does. It just spins. So looking at the variety doesn't report that comes out the data breach investigations report, they are seeing that ransomware, phishing and web application attacks all increased during this last year. [00:26:27] And they also found that 85% of the data breaches involved. Human interaction. So what that means is you and I doing some stuff that maybe we shouldn't be doing, and some of this human interaction is installing malware, right? From fishing activity, where they're sending out these emails. A day, doesn't go by where I don't get an email every day. [00:26:56] I get emails that are saying what's the biggest one right now. I've been getting Oh, it has to do with some signature software. I'm not going to name them because I don't want them to get in trouble. Cause I got a decent software, but it's a big deal. Okay. A very big deal. So they're saying that the median financial impact or so do you know what median is mean? [00:27:18] Median and mode? Median and financial income pact of a breach last year was about $21,000 95% of the incidences incident. Costs the businesses somewhere between $826 and $653,000. Okay. So many breaches they say did not cause losses. And those that did cause losses. This is where it really gets big. [00:27:50] Okay. 95% of the computer data breaches led to losses as much of 1.6 million. So it's getting expensive. So what do we do? How do we deal with this? I talked about this before you need to improve your windows, privacy and security. You need to harden your windows. You need to get good firewalls. And I talked about it this week. [00:28:14] Again, you need to use something like open DNS, which is, it has a free version. There are paid versions, but this is going to get you. A long way towards being safe, open dns.com. That's where you find them online. If you can't remember you can't run it down. Just email me M e@craigpeterson.com. Ask your question and I'll be glad to point you in the right direction. [00:28:41]I was just talking a little bit about the Verizon data breach, their incident incidents report. And I wanted to just bring up one other bit of data. And that is that the attacks that are going on are actually simpler. They're not as complex as the old ones and phishing attacks are now going hand in hand with the use of stolen credentials. [00:29:09] What are stolen credentials while it is information that has been stolen from another website, typically? Now might be as stolen from your business. And so they know what your password is because they have all of the passwords in the business you're working for. But more often they're doing something called credential stuffing. [00:29:32] So they're going to the dark web and let's say they want to attack colonial pipeline, which of course just happened. And colonial pipeline has their URL that all of their email is sent to. What they end up doing is they go to the dark web and they find. Credentials for people that have a colonial pipeline, email address, and those credentials are going to include things like your password on that website. [00:30:04] Now, what happens is. They stuff that username and that password in as many sites as they can. So let's say they found that you're using Microsoft remote desktop, and maybe there's a zero day bug as there are many bugs in that software that people haven't patched yet. So they'll just use that to get on, but if they can, let's say you patched it and they found your email address and use over on website X. [00:30:35] That has nothing to do with colonial pipeline. What they can then do is take that username, which is that email address and that password and try it at colonial pipeline. And guess what? It works more than 60% of the breaches involved, credentialed data. And 95% of organizations that we're experiencing this credential stuffing attack had to between 637 and 3.3 billion malicious login attempts throughout the past year. [00:31:14] We see them all the time. We have a couple of internet facing servers and those servers we log when someone tries to log in and if they try and log in more than four times immediately, they are blocked at the firewall. So they can't even connect to the server anymore, period at all. And that stops this type of attack. [00:31:39] So I'm sitting here. I'm actually, I was literally scratching my head because I cannot figure out how can you have 3.3 billion malicious log in attempts at one business over the course of a year and not do something about it. Not have them automatically blocked. This is just crazy because credentials are the key that the bad guys can use to get into the network. [00:32:13] And they're not just using them to do ransomware into somewhere like colonial pipeline. They're using those credentials to go to your bank account. Yeah. So you, most people are using the same email I'll address as a credentials, which is ridiculous. I can't believe businesses are letting people use an email address as their login username, but most people using that same email address and those same passwords at multiple websites. [00:32:46] So I want you to do something now, and I've asked you guys to do it before on the show. You may not have had a chance before you may not have known about it, but I want you to go. If you're not in front of your computer, go there right now, or grab something. You can write this down with, or send me an email just me@craigpeterson.com. [00:33:06] What I want you to do is go to have I been poned.com. So that's like it sound have HIV. E I, the letter I been B E N P w N E d.com and put in your email address right there. And that will tell you what information of yours is widely available on the dark web. Now it doesn't have everything that's on the dark web. [00:33:37] By any stretch, but it has all of the major stuff. And I can guarantee you if you've had an email address for any time at all, that email address is going to show up. It's going to show up all a lot. Okay. So check it out. Have I been poned.com and then trend, according to Verizon is towards simplicity. [00:33:59] They're using passwords stuffing. They're using social engineering fifth. Dean X spike in misrepresentation, which is a type of integrity, breach business, email compromised, doubled last year, and a gain this year. It doubled again, 60% of business, email compromise attacks that successfully stole money. It's crazy here. [00:34:27] Median lost $30,000. That's email coming in, pretending to be someone that they're not. And again, I've helped companies that this has happened to and help them tighten things up. That is the problem. Okay. There's huge medium was 30,000. And 95% of them cost somewhere between $250 and a million dollars. [00:34:53]It's just amazing. So we've got to pull up our socks. We have to be careful. I have some free info that you'll get. If you sign up from an email newsletter, you're automatically going to get a few of the special reports that I put together. You're going to get my weekly emails. It's all for free. [00:35:12] This newsletter. Most people can't believe they don't have to pay. I had someone just this last week say. Are you sure I'm not supposed to pay for this because a lot of newsletters out there, of course you have to pay for, but I send out all of this type of information for free and I have free little trainings and free guides, and I'm more than glad to offer them all to you guys. [00:35:37] So check them out. Go right now. Craig peterson.com/subscribe. Now have I been poned is again a website juke should go to, but the other thing you need to do is make sure you're using a password manager. Now a password manager is something like one password. I wouldn't no longer use the last pass. I have pulled that off of my list of recommended password managers because of a major problem that they had. [00:36:07] And it showed, they really didn't know what they were doing. Everybody makes mistakes. Nothing's a hundred percent secure. Believe me. I know that, but they really lost all. Of my trust with this huge hack that they had. So one password is the only one I'm recommending nowadays. That's a digit one in the word password. [00:36:28] Use that. If you can use something other than your email address to log in. Do that change your account name to something out, something completely unrelated call it the human element or something. Use a login. That's not your name. That is not your email address in is not something that's easily guessed. [00:36:50] And then use a fairly randomly generated password. Now, what I'm recommending now is the latest NIST guidance, and this does the national institutes of standards and technology, and the latest NIST guidance says. You do use some random stuff, but I'm not talking about random letters, numbers, special characters. [00:37:13] I'm talking about taking three or four randomly chosen words, or even a phrase that are separated using maybe a digit or a special character, making sure there's a little bit of upper lowercase stuff going on, but it's something that can be remembered if you need to. And one password will generate these for you automatically, which is absolutely amazing. [00:37:41] Okay. It's such a godsend. I was surprised when I looked the other day, I have 1400 different accounts in my one password. Yeah. That's how many I have that's a lot. And it'll also keep your notes in there. So you can put in bank account information, et cetera. It keeps it encrypted. It keeps it in their own little secure cloud. [00:38:05] So knock on wood should be pretty darn safe. Now want to point out one more thing about these statistics here? Nearly all email servers, 96%. 96% of email servers that were compromised in these attacks or cloud-based once they've gotten into your email. They have control of you. I just got a call again. [00:38:36] This is a friend of a friend who called me up because their email account had been compromised almost certainly because again, credential, stuffing there's password information out on the dark web, et cetera. Cause I ha I looked it up for him and sent him the link. Here's what have I been poned says. But once they have control of that email address, they probably have something that you're using for password recovery. [00:39:05] So you go to the bank. So the right way to do this for the bad guys is they go to like bank of America. They try and put in your email address and say, I forgot my password. So where are they going to send your password? They're going to send it to your compromised email account. If they're, they'll try all of the major banks and they'll see what they can find. [00:39:27] 96%. So it's just crazy. And people are using this. They, the cloud is just the name for someone else's computer and you don't know how all protected it is. And you still have ability if it's broken into, and in this case, Verizon saying that this led to the compromise of personal information, internal business information. [00:39:54] Medical information, bank, account information. This is part of the challenge of moving a business to the cloud. It's incredible. All right. And not flip that make sure you do get all this info. You'll get all of my free, special reports by signing up. If you're not already on the list. If you have any questions, Craig peterson.com. [00:40:17] Feel free to reach out me at CraigPeterson.com. That's my meal at that's my email address, and I don't use it to log into anything me@craigpeterson.com.

Are you signed up for the My Social Security account from the Social Security Administration? In this episode, we’ll review a Kitces.com article written by Jeffrey Levine about this important resource. We’ll review the history of My Social Security, how to sign up for it, how its benefit calculations account for inflation, and how Americans can interpret its information in order to understand their social security benefits. Don’t miss this excellent opportunity to review a very important topic. Press play to listen. Outline of This Episode [2:28] How to access your My Social Security account [5:22] What can you do with your My Social Security account? [10:04] A question about my podcast host [11:28] Rusty needs to create about $50,000 of income each year - how should he do it? Background information on My Social Security From 1990 to 2011, the Social Security Administration mailed paper copies of Social Security statements to most American workers. These statements summarized their personalized retirement and disability benefits. However, budget cuts in 2011 paused these mailings, and now workers under age 60 no longer receive mailed statements at all. The only workers to receive Social Security statements by mail are those who were both 60 or older in 2017 and had not yet registered for an online SSA account.  How to access your My Social Security account The primary way Americans can access their annual Social Security statements is online via their My Social Security account. To set up a My Social Security account users will be required to provide some basic information on an online form. This information includes first and last name as shown on their Social Security card, Social Security number, date of birth, home address, and email address.  After filling out the form, individuals will be required to complete an identity verification process. They can either verify their identity using their smartphone to photo-capture their state-issued ID card, or they can type in their information into the online form. The second method of verification uses financial information such as credit card information, Social Security benefit amount information, a Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement, or a Schedule SE from their most recent Form 1040. What can you do with your My Social Security account? Once you have set up your My Social Security account and can see your Social Security statements you should do a few things.  Verify your reported work history. Review the current estimates of your anticipated Social Security benefits. Explore how the benefits align with your retirement income needs. In the Social Security statements, there are three pages of important information, but most people are concerned with the information on pages two and three. Page two has a summary of your estimated retirement, disability, family survivors, and Medicare benefits. Page three of the statement lists earnings on file for each year from the time an individual began working. Listen in to hear why you should carefully check the income information from the past years.  Get your My Social Security account set up to begin your retirement planning Have you set up your My Social Security account yet? This is a great first step to get you on your way to creating your retirement plan. Make sure to listen to the listener questions segment to hear ways to create income in retirement.  Resources & People Mentioned Kitces article My Social Security Connect with Benjamin Brandt Get the Retire-Ready Toolkit: http://retirementstartstodayradio.com/ Follow Ben on Twitter: https://twitter.com/retiremeasap Subscribe to the newsletter: https://retirementstartstodayradio.com/newsletter Subscribe to Retirement Starts Today on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, Podbean, Player FM, iHeart, or Spotify

Greetings Heathens! Spring is in the air for the northern hemisphere, and apparently it’s also some Christian holiday of some sort today. Today’s episode of Talk Heathen is brought to you by chocolate bunnies, hidden easter eggs, and weekend zombies. Today, Eric Murphy is joined by Christy Powell from fellow ACA show, Secular Sexuality. Thanks for joining us Christy!Let’s get to calls! Kale Chip from Kentucky is calling again, they called last week about setting boundaries with Christians surrounding a friend’s death. Today’s call is a bit of an update on their situation and what they were able to do.Laura in Arizona is up next, she would like to talk about the problem with evil and how a good God could allow this evil to exist. Hmmm… sounds like an abusive relationship to me rife with gaslighting, abuse, and victim blaming.Eric in Iowa is wondering why Christians are so troubled about abortions when babies and children under 12 go straight to heaven. Ooooh, this is an interesting question and there’s quite a bit to unpack here.Tim in Florida is wanting to know what Christy thinks about how a therapist’s internal biases can result in someone being misdiagnosed. What should the average person do to avoid this and be looking for? Trust and Verify and bring it back to that therapist if it doesn’t pass your personal smell test!Fernando in the UK asks if being LGBTQ is worthy of death by stoning because it is demanded by the Bible. Eric asks an important question about perpetuating violence against others without the Bible being a reason. Please don’t be a horrible person Fernando… crap.Edmond in Israel is wondering if it is ethical to hold certain beliefs when they don't hold up to scrutiny and investigation.Up next, Lucy in Florida wants to discuss if it’s possible that there are supernatural events (like the resurrection or ghosts) that are not tied to God.Julian in Iowa is wondering if he is just going to be an angry atheist because of the maltreatment he experienced when he was religious and being gay as well. He is looking to channel this emotion in a more positive way. Your healing process is going to take as long as it takes and is absolutely valid in every way.We end the episode on this weird holiday, if Jesus was a lich, what is his phylactery? That’s our show for this week, please continue to be safe in your area, get vaccinated, and wear your mask. The world is better with you in it. See you next week!

This Co-Founder Doesn’t Read Books And Has A Mega Awesome SaaS Business ($50M+ Raised) With Multiple Revenue Streams Today’s guest is Cory Capoccia, Co-Founder, Chief Business Development Officer, and President of Womply, a local commerce platform that provides apps, APIs, and marketing and financial tools for over 500 000 American businesses. Cory starts by giving us some background information about how he fell into the fintech space and joined part of the founding team of a bootstrapped company called Verify. From there, we talk about the mission at Womply and take a deep dive into the three tiers of services they offer as well as how they make money from each of these. Womply has raised over 50M in venture capital, and we chat to Cory about the choice to raise money coming from a bootstrapping background. The conversation turns to customer acquisition and Cory sketches out the mixture of inbound and outbound strategies used at Womply, also highlighting the company’s recent achievements in the area of organic reach. Toward the end of the show, we hear from Cory about why he does not read books and talk a little bit about the benefits of aggressive internet research and peer learning.
