00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:02.319
Welcome back to another episode.

00:00:02.479 --> 00:00:06.160
This week we are diving deep into the news that just won't quit.

00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:14.240
From the AI front, Claude is either saving us by finding Firefox vulnerabilities or creating new problems with fake install guides.

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:19.440
We'll unpack Anthropic's explosive growth and why everyone is watching their next video.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:20.559
That's right.

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:29.199
And speaking of surveillance, we're talking about a potential privacy disaster with the Meta Ray Bans and how a new app is trying to warn you when those smart glasses are nearby.

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:33.039
Plus, the FBI has had a major hack investigation on its hands.

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.600
We absolutely do not want to miss that detail.

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:37.600
But we're not stopping at the headlines.

00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:41.200
March is here and we're tackling the major issues in the workplace.

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:46.079
It's Gen Z truly unprepared for corporate America for taking that debate head on.

00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:57.679
And in honor of Women's History Month, our ongoing commitment to the conversation, we're discussing the serious challenges facing black people in leadership and the disturbing trends of why women are disappearing from Europe's tech workforce.

00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:04.159
Cyber attacks, privacy fails, big tech layoffs, and the corporate culture shift is all in this episode.

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.959
So grab your headphones and let's get into the notes.

00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:09.439
Episode 202 starts now.

00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.280
I think I want to talk about Gen Z in the workplace.

00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:28.319
There's been so many different TikTok videos and everything else about Gen Z to where I thought it'd be pretty fun to see where the differences are between us.

00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:33.200
I think they are what they call them disruptors in a sense.

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.879
Like they said stuff about millennials, Gen X, boomers.

00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:42.000
I think everybody's different.

00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.680
But I do think they are a little bit more radical.

00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.280
I mean, but we're talking about Gen Z now, just wait till Gen Alpha get into the workforce.

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:50.079
Yeah, part.

00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:52.319
That I think that's what's going to be crazy.

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.040
But let me find some of these videos that I have for that.

00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:04.640
And as someone who has hired and worked with a lot of people from Gen Z, there is a clear line between the people who do well and the people who don't.

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:12.479
The easiest thing is probably to give real examples, but I do want to preface first that yes, every generation thinks the next generation below them is lazy and bad.

00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.439
And yes, there are a lot of companies getting away with not paying people well.

00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.240
I want to talk about two different Gen Z employees as an example.

00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:24.560
Both of them were paid well, but I've also noticed that the salary of the Gen Z employee has very little to do with how they perform.

00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:26.960
Both employees had a weekly meeting with their team.

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.400
One consistently showed up with information about what was going on.

00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.879
The other usually had to be messaged five or ten minutes into the meeting to make sure they were still coming.

00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.520
Then they would show up and say, Sorry, I forgot it was on my calendar.

00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:38.800
I didn't realize this was mandatory.

00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.599
One employee I gotta pause it right there.

00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.840
So some people need more coaching than others.

00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:13.919
Absolutely, especially when it comes to um just some of the behaviors, the tone, being able to pick up on um emotional intelligence is is is really important.

00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:20.240
And and if you it's something you like have to practice from a from a younger age, hopefully.

00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:27.680
Well, that and some people may have mentors, so they say, Hey, when you come in, this is your 90-day plan needs to look like this is how you are going to get acclimated and get promoted.

00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:32.319
One person don't have that, so they'll understand, so they're still learning.

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:40.719
You some people I put it like this, and now as being a parent, I know with certain one child gotta be very specific with, the other child be very broad with.

00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:58.479
This is when you have to learn, actually learn things about the people that you hired versus expecting them to act like everyone else acts, so you can circumvent these different things and not always put the blame on them because some people are just very different.

00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:02.080
And we're not even getting into if people have disabilities or other things like that.

00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:07.680
We're just literally talking about how you actually used your emotional intelligence to deal with your employees.

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.680
They sat down together and thought about some other things to attempt.

00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:26.639
The other ran into a technical error that was preventing them from being able to complete something, and didn't say anything until they were asked a couple of days later how the work was going.

00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.199
Now that is gonna be on you.

00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:30.079
For sure.

00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:31.199
You gotta say something.

00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:40.879
If some if you at all my people who've been in them project management meetings, if you got any impediments, that's when you need to say, Hey, I got an impediment, I can't do my work because of this software issue.

00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:41.920
Call to help desk.

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:48.319
That way, if they it's not fixed, at least you have documented the last three days is not fixed, and you told your boss and you told all these other people.

00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:53.920
So after you did all that, it's above you if it's something that's preventing you from doing the work and you can't do it any other way.

00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:59.360
Yeah, waiting until they ask you is never a good practice.

00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:02.480
10 out of 10.

00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.680
And then they said, Oh, I can't get it done because this wasn't working.

00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:11.279
Both of them needed access to a certain account, which was available for them to find in their onboarding documents they had.

00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.160
One logged in on day one and was ready to go with the account.

00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:21.199
One of them was asked about something that they would have been able to do on the account three weeks into the job and said, How do I get access to that account?

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.879
Nothing the first employee did was going above and beyond their job.

00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:26.480
It was doing their job.

00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.120
Showing up to work is not the job.

00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.160
The job is completing the thing you're being paid to do.

00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:36.240
That often involves multiple tasks, that often involves having to figure something out.

00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:41.279
Being expected to do your job well is not having a lot asked of you at work.

00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:46.560
There are roles and salaries where you are paid to really just sit around and wait to be told what to do.

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:48.560
But that is not the average job.

00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:55.439
That is not what most people are paying you for, and that's not something people are gonna pay you even more for, and that is something people are failing to understand.

00:05:58.399 --> 00:05:59.680
I'm not mad at him.

00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:06.560
Yeah, and I'm not gonna relegate just the I don't have access thing to Gen Z.

00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:07.839
I I have a friend.

00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:25.519
I have a friend that when they were working at this company, they wrote like a new account, and he was trying to get access to all these different things so he could finally get access to do his job.

00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:29.519
The other guy just sat around because he didn't have access and he's not Gen Z.

00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:35.360
That led to that person getting let go because they was like, Oh, well, I don't know what to do.

00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:37.360
And he tried to tell them so many words, bro.

00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:39.360
You have to let them know I don't have access to this.

00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.639
They're not paying us just to sit around and say we can't access nothing.

00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:48.399
Yeah, it you definitely have to try to help yourself to some extent.

00:06:49.199 --> 00:07:05.759
And I think that's having those open lines of communication, being assigned a mentor, having those um frequent checkpoints with your leadership as you are a new employee, and then you know, spacing it out as you get a little bit more acclimated with the company and your position and stuff.

00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:10.800
But those are things that should be discussed on your weekly or bi-weekly meeting.

00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.439
You know, did you get all your access?

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:18.399
No, I'm actually having an issue accessing A, B, C, D, EFG, whatever it is.

00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:30.639
Yeah, but funny thing is a good manager is always gonna ask, okay, here's the you know, access list, go through and request access for all these things, keep me up on the progress of what you have access for, and then in the meantime, do XYZ.

00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:35.040
And that's also it is like, okay, what do I do while I'm not doing anything?

00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:40.959
And that's your time when you get access a little bit, you just get a chance to observe the key word right here observation.

00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:56.560
When you're new, you bring a different, I'll say a different set of eyes to an organization where you can see gaps and blind spots that they pretty much don't see because they're used to doing stuff a certain way.

00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.360
So now you start just writing all your different things.

00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:00.240
Like I did this before.

00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:05.680
I have a I could literally show it to you, like, oh, these are the things that I see right now, I would love to change.

00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:14.000
So now when you start presenting these things, now whether you get to fix them or not, you still look at like a good employee, and it's really not really going above and beyond.

00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:18.079
It's literally just trying to make your make them make sure that they made the right choice.

00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:27.120
Because a lot of companies are not playing anymore with hiring you, they'll spend all the money that they want to spend on the hiring process to find somebody they need and they'll get you out of there.

00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.959
And a lot of young people are not realizing that at all.

00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:42.559
Let's see, I think we had some other cool Gen Z stuff.

00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:44.240
Let's see.

00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:48.559
Here it is.

00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:53.679
Uh so one of these was like the psychology of Gen Z or just kids growing up.

00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:58.080
So a focus on the root of all the different things that people are not talking about.

00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:59.519
They literally just putting everybody in the box.

00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.480
Oh, you Gen Z, yada, just gonna be this and that.

00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.600
And I definitely liked a little bit of what I heard.

00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:08.399
I didn't hear the whole thing, but I thought it was pretty cool.

00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.600
I have a lot of opinions about Gen Z in the workplace, but I don't have opinions.

00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.639
I have a master's degree in industrial organizational psychology.

00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:18.559
Gen Z is not the fucking problem, livable wage is the fucking problem.

00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:23.200
Um, fucking having paid leave is the problem, unrealistic schedules is the problem.

00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:26.480
There are so many problems that are not based in the individual.

00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:30.960
We have a systemic issue from the rooter to the motherfucking tutor.

00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:38.240
Okay, parents can't support their kids in their most critical stages of early development because they are forced into working multiple jobs.

00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:42.639
The parents who can, the affluent parents who have all the resources, their kids do fine.

00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:52.000
Then we get into the school, and the teachers are being forced into standardized test rituals that do not actually support responsive, um, culturally competent curriculum.

00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:55.120
So, what does that do that further stunts the students' growth?

00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.120
We got to pause right there because she said a lot.

00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:02.000
I've said many times that I don't like that school is literally the same thing as when we went through school.

00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:02.639
It's kind of different.

00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:06.480
They're not using books no more, they're using Chromebooks, and it's really stupid.

00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:13.360
But relegating kids to learning in one way does not help them when it comes to the workforce.

00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:28.720
So I think we all got out of school by the time they started making everyone do like the common math, and you got to do the pundit squares to get your because they want everybody to do it the right way, and making forcing teachers say, Hey, make them do it this way, not hey, as long as you show your work, I don't care how you got the answer.

00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:30.320
That was a big thing for us.

00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:35.919
It's I think it's the reason why we are still good critical thinkers because we were allowed to solve a problem multiple ways.

00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:37.679
These kids aren't.

00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:40.960
I think in the beginning, she also brought up like, hey, live away.

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:48.320
Some of these parents they have kids that they can't even really look into because they got to work these dead-end jobs, and so they can't, yeah.

00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.039
Conflict with pickup, drop off.

00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.000
So the kids are already behind, which I know this to be true.

00:10:54.159 --> 00:11:00.080
Like, as a parent, I already know most parents don't have the luxury of really sitting back and saying, you know what?

00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:04.000
My kids should be doing, you know, X more of this at a certain age or not.

00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:08.879
Let me go take them to this specialist or look into this or that, see what's going on with their milestones.

00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.200
A lot of parents don't have that luxury because they got two and three, four kids.

00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.639
They working two jobs, they coming home by the time they come home or whatever.

00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.840
It's time to reset the household and get the kids ready for tomorrow.

00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:21.039
Bath, dinner, yeah.

00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:22.879
Uh, try to help with homework.

00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:25.759
It doesn't leave and don't have a commute, you know.

00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.480
You get off at five, don't have a commute, that's an hour.

00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:34.879
Yeah, you know, you got to get home, you gotta be affectionate, and how was your day and all that good stuff?

00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:39.120
Yeah, and then you gotta go into the routine stuff, it's not enough time in the day, yeah.

00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:49.440
And not leaving out the fact that a lot of them, if we even go back down, two things people say, well, you shouldn't have had so many kids, which I agree.

00:11:49.519 --> 00:12:06.399
A lot of people don't plan for kids, but I don't think it should be to the point where you gotta work yourself to the bone and take care of kids because we know 15-20 years ago, you could have a decent career and still be there for your kids and and have vacations and do all this other stuff.

00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:16.159
So I don't even think I think it's just to where corporate greed is the the uh price of simple things, they building these homes real fast, they're not even good homes.

00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:22.399
You got all these other things going on, and now you are trying to not pay people their worth, so now they got to double up.

00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:32.799
You and we also know I don't we're not gonna get into too much things, but we know the issues that she's speaking of is much worse in a single-parent household than a two-parent household.

00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:40.720
And so that's what another you know, deviation that happens to some of these kids of why different things or certain things are being caught.

00:12:40.799 --> 00:13:03.840
Because at least if you got two parents, what one parent may not catch this, other person may see this, or you talk about when we're talking about uh, I think we're talking about this off the mic, talking about um spouses and different like childhoods and different ways that they're brought up, how you know that can also possibly help out, where like you experience one thing through childhood with with schooling and different things and and activities and vice versa.

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:09.519
So now you can spot out different things or saying or say, Oh, this child may need this or this child may need that.

00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:11.840
So I think it's a lot of different things.

00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:14.480
But so like she's on the money, but let's see what else she gotta say.

00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:22.399
Then they get into high school and they're already kind of fucked, if we're being honest, and the and the teachers and the parents can't do anything, it's too late now.

00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:47.360
They've already not formed the cognitive processes and develop and hit the developmental milestones necessary to be these people that you want them to be, and then on top of that, a lot of them are having more good sense, they're seeing what's happening to their parents, they're seeing what's happening to their teachers, they're seeing what's happening to their aunties, their uncles, and even their motherfucking friends, and they are realizing that all this shit is fucking fake and made up, and the only thing that's gonna make them believe in it again is actually having something to live for.

00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:51.200
Y'all not uh this society is not giving people anything to fucking live for.

00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.720
And all of y'all getting on here thinking that you know the answer, you don't know shit.

00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:56.399
None of y'all know shit.

00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:03.519
Now, I don't really know if her credentials are valid because everybody says they do something on social media.

00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.200
There is an answer, but like I said, it starts much younger.

00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:26.000
Or if you there are certain kids that are gonna succeed no matter what, and it's not, and I'm pretty sure if I was like a high school counselor or something, and I went and did the knowledge of the science behind how they're tracking, you know, what kids would be successful by like fifth grade.

00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:31.759
To I think they use standardized test scores to figure out who's gonna be successful, who's gonna end up in jail, and all this other stuff.

00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:33.120
So all that stuff is there.

00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:35.600
Those standardized test scores, all this stuff is BS.

00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:36.879
It's not really teaching a lot.

00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.600
Like some kids good at test taking, some not.

00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:44.399
School, but school is really just for parents to be able to go to work.

00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:49.360
It's it's that's it, it's somewhere for the kids to go while the parents are at work.

00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:53.600
That's literally I think I think that, but I think also it's also for a lot of indoctriners.

00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:55.519
I'm getting tongue tied.

00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:57.440
Indoctrination.

00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:58.080
There we go.

00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.440
Indoctrination to assimilate to the workforce when you get older.

00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:04.000
So when you think about, I worked retail.

00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:12.080
When I worked at Target, eight hours, if you get a you know, eight-hour shift, you get two 15-minute breaks, you get a 30-minute, 45-minute lunch.

00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:13.279
This is gonna be your job.

00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:13.919
This is what you do.

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:15.440
No doing this, this, this, and this.

00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:17.039
You must do this while you're at work.

00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:18.639
Um, like any other job, right?

00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.600
But certain jobs like that, it's literally similar to school.

00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:25.600
You don't really have a lot of flexibility.

00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:30.080
There's not a lot of stuff you can do to change your outcome or what you get paid, and all this other stuff.

00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:31.759
So those jobs are like that.

00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:43.200
I think one of the things that we focus on now with the kids is I think this is why in school's career day is so important for sometimes for kids to understand, you know, hey, oh, I can do that.

00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:57.600
Oh, like so-and-so, dad is a lawyer, or mom is uh what's the thing called when you um I know the I know the name, but it's when you uh stick people anesthesiologist.

00:15:57.759 --> 00:15:58.080
There you go.

00:15:58.159 --> 00:15:59.600
They're anesthesiologists.

00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:04.559
Oh, they are uh you know the mayor, the fire chief, whatever it is, right?

00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:06.000
All these different jobs.

00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.320
That's when you come in and now you kind of expose a kid.

00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:13.039
But the only flip side is that is that works only until they get home.

00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:19.919
If you've ever seen the story of Matilda, that's a fairy tale, but that's a lot of kids going through except 10 times worse.

00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:21.120
Yeah, agree.

00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:22.960
So that's where it's at.

00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:24.639
And that's not just a Gen Z thing.

00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:27.120
There's a lot of kids that can't do that like that.

00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:31.679
You have kids who all they want to do is probably grow up and be a manager at McDonald's.

00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:35.840
Or, oh, I'ma just do my family do, I'ma just go and get on assistance.

00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:46.960
I'm gonna get assistance, I'm gonna get uh EBT, I'm gonna get whatever all them other things to ask you about sometimes to know workforce surveys, and you know, we're gonna get the new J's and we're gonna be fresh at school.

00:16:47.519 --> 00:17:05.839
That's a reality for a lot of people, and some people don't understand that when they talk about, you know, if they say like black people who are doing like the victim polypics or all these other things, I'm like, yeah, but in some cases, a lot of people they just once your mind is already a certain way, it's just tough, you know.

00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:06.960
That's why Dr.

00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.000
Umar says, Hey, I ain't gonna be able to psychologize all of y'all.

00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:12.160
Some of y'all gotta go away for good.

00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:16.960
I might try to put that right there because that part is hilarious to me when he says that.

00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:21.839
And I think we had one more because now they was going in.

00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.240
I think somebody was going into more detail about it.

00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:31.440
A number of videos going around right now talking about this article from Fortune magazine published in January of last year.

00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:35.119
All the reasons why Gen Z is being fired at alarming rates.

00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:37.440
Now, I don't want to talk about why this checks out.

00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:42.400
What I do want to talk about is the number one reason that's been attributed to this, which is a lack of initiative.

00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:47.599
When I go into the comment sections of these videos, I see a lot of comments like this initiative costs more money.

00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:53.359
Love how jobs want you to go above and beyond, but won't even pay a living wage to or go above and beyond for you as a worker.

00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:54.160
Fair enough.

00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:58.960
What I do see in a lot of these comments is a lack of understanding of what is meant by initiative.

00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:08.400
So I wanted to offer you a very real and simple example of what initiative looks like so that you understand what's getting people fired and what's getting people promoted.

00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:20.640
The scenario is this your boss comes to you on Monday morning and says, Hey, can you reach out to our contact at that company and get them to send you those documents that we need for our big meeting this time next week?

00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:21.920
You say 10-4.

00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.119
You send an email to that contact at that company.

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:27.200
Several days go by.

00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:28.319
It's now Thursday.

00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:32.960
Your boss emails you and says, Hey, just checking in on those documents, were you able to get a hold of them?

00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:40.640
You pause for a minute, double check your inbox to make sure you haven't missed it, and then you email your boss back and you say, Hey, I reached out as you asked, but I haven't heard back.

00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.599
Your boss sends you an email and says, Hey, can you please follow up?

00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:45.359
It's really important that we get those documents.

00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:46.880
You say, No problem.

00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:48.640
You send a follow-up email.

00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:54.319
Friday rolls around, your boss emails you and says, Hey, checking on those documents, any word.

00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:58.319
You say, I sent a follow-up email like you requested, but I haven't heard back.

00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:06.160
I'm gonna stop it right there, because like I said, this is an apples to apples scenario right here.

00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.720
Kind of similar to what the first guy was talking about.

00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:17.119
In this instance, too, it's like, okay, if I have an employee that first time they technically they did what I said to do.

00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:19.119
I'm gonna be more implicit this next time.

00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:20.559
Hey, please follow up.

00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:24.319
And this time, if they do not email you back, please call him.

00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:27.440
And also, if you need to, CC day manager.

00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:28.799
That's what I would tell them.

00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:30.079
Because a lot of people don't know.

00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:31.200
That's how you get something done.

00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:34.880
When when a team don't want to give you access to fix them, find a manager, CC them.

00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:36.319
That's how you do it.

00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:43.119
Your boss emails you and says, Have you tried calling, or can you please try calling and getting in touch with somebody?

00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:48.400
It's imperative that we get our hands on those documents and that we have them in hand for our meeting on Monday.

00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:49.359
Please let me know.

00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:49.920
Thanks.

00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:56.240
You call the company, you ask the receptionist for this person, they tell you that they're out of office, you say, okay, thank you.

00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:56.640
Bye.

00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:01.440
You email your boss and you say, Hey, I reached out and this person is out of office, so I'm not sure what we can do.

00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:03.359
Your boss says, Leave it with me.

00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:05.920
Scenario two.

00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:14.480
Your boss reaches out to you on Monday, asks you to get in touch with the contact at the company to get the documents, you say 10-4, you send an email pretty much right away.

00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:19.519
24 hours goes by, you do not hear back, you send a follow-up email to that person.

00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:26.880
But a half a day goes by, you still haven't heard back, you send an email to your boss that says, Hey, I just wanted to give you a little status update on this.

00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:28.799
I've reached out to this person, haven't heard back.

00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:31.680
I've sent a follow-up email and I'm waiting for a response.

00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:40.079
If I don't hear back from them by the end of the day today, I'll be reaching out to the company to see if there's anyone else they can get me in touch with so that we can get those documents in time for the Monday meeting.

00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:41.839
I just wanted to give you a status update.

00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.480
Your boss says, much appreciated, thank you.

00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:51.119
Wednesday rolls around, you haven't heard back, you pick up the phone and you say, hey, I'm trying to get in touch with this person, wondering if they're out of office.

00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:54.880
If so, is there anyone else who can help me in their absence?

00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:56.720
I'm trying to get a hold of these documents.

00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:07.200
You do some talking, you do some triangulating, you get your hands on those documents, you attach them to an email to your boss, end of day Wednesday, maybe morning Thursday, and you say, Did some running around, got our hands on the documents.

00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:11.039
Please let me know if there's anything else you need in advance of that meeting on Monday.

00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:14.000
Your boss says, You're my hero, thanks.

00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:24.640
Now, I also want to note that person two has done no overtime work and has not completed any tasks outside of their pre-assigned job.

00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:29.920
But I will highlight that they demonstrated an incredible amount of initiative to reach the outcome.

00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:44.720
So it's not just the task completed that's directly assigned to you, but it's understanding what the goal is, what are the outcomes you're going for, and what are the tasks that you can take the initiative to complete in order to achieve that outcome without somebody constantly following up on you.

00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:51.279
I I think that in customer service we call this first call resolution.

00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:59.200
And I think it is important to try to see and take ownership as far and as much as you can.

00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:08.240
Common sense always isn't so common, but you do have to think critically.

00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:12.559
Even though for some people that's not, it's it's second nature.

00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:18.640
Like, yeah, of course I'm gonna call, of course I'm gonna follow up, but everybody's brain doesn't work the same.

00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:29.839
So taking as much ownership and taking the situation as far as you can, and maybe even thinking about taking yourself outside of work and ask, what would you do if this was a personal issue, right?

00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:32.079
And you needed to get these documents for yourself.

00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:33.279
What would you do?

00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:35.920
Would you just keep sitting around and waiting?

00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:47.200
And you know that you need them by X date, or would you pick up the phone and start calling or reaching out to alternative people to try to help you reach, you know, whatever the goal is that you're trying to get to?

00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:48.480
Exactly.

00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:58.640
I think a lot of these young people, like they are confused about initiative or above and beyond and not realizing what it takes to do your job.

00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:02.319
I hate the people who say, Oh, is this in my work?

00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:03.920
Is this in my job description?

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:06.000
I I can't stand people who say that.

00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:08.880
Even if it wasn't you, you still gonna do it.

00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:10.160
You still gonna do it.

00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:11.920
So what does it matter?

00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:17.519
Yeah, no, on top of that though, I think that's because a lot of this comes from that TikTok era.

00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:21.759
You had the the corporate baddie, the DeAndre guy was he was being funny, right?

00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:22.720
Very facetious.

00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:23.759
I think his videos were cool.

00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:30.720
I watched some of them, but for the most part, they were just having fun, and he had just got in corporate, he ain't been in corporate that long.

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:37.039
A lot of the Gen Z people hadn't been in the corporate that long, so they got in where technically at that time everybody was getting hired.

00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:40.799
You could have put some slacks in the shirt on the fish, they probably got hired.

00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.680
Now that's changed, and so now they are confused that they're actually having to do work.

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:56.160
In a scenario like the last woman just said, a thing that you can remember with your Gen Z, ex, boomer, whatever, is a term called over-communicating.

00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:02.240
It's much better to over-communicate about what you're doing and pretty much don't have your boss ask you for status updates.

00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:03.759
You give them the status updates.

00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:09.279
So now they're gonna start seeing you as a person that, like, hey, I don't have to micromanage this person.

00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:16.240
This person is always do what they have to do, and they're gonna inform me if they have any impediments, if they run into anything.

00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:17.519
So, you know what?

00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:18.799
They're free to roam.

00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:22.799
They're gonna, I don't have to keep, I can give them a longer leash, pretty much.

00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:28.160
If not, like person one, I just think there's a gap in them understanding.

00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:31.680
I don't think they really understand the magnitude of like, hey, I need this done.

00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:38.559
Like, whenever your direct manager reaches out to you about something important, that means they probably reporting somebody that says it's important.

00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:39.839
And so you need to get it done.

00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:43.039
And if you tell them, hey, I'm not sure what else I can do.

00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:50.240
I'd much rather you say you don't understand like what else to do to reach out to somebody versus just I sent two emails and that's it.

00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:53.279
If somebody ain't answering the emails, something is going on.

00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:54.400
It's you know, it's important.

00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:58.559
Wake somebody up at the end of the day, email somebody else, you know.

00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:00.640
At the end of the day, it's about keeping your job.

00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:02.880
And I think a lot of people don't understand that.

00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:04.079
Like, that's the thing.

00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:12.960
Sometimes, like, if I bring it back to the blue team or security operations, some people scared to pick up the phone or call somebody or something like, Look, bro, they paying you for a job.

00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:14.640
Don't be afraid to wake nobody up.

00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:16.000
Ask for forgiveness later.

00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:21.279
Even if you woke somebody up for the wrong thing, they may be like, okay, this is what happened, whatever.

00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:26.960
But they're gonna appreciate that you called because you're like, you know what, you're just trying to look out for the company and do your job the right way.

00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:27.839
So I appreciate that.

00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:32.319
You know, next time do this, do XYZ first and then call me.

00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:36.880
But I mean, that's kind of like how it goes when it comes to corporate.

00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:48.640
And so I just think if I circle back to all the other times where we talked about college and everything else, is why there needs to possibly be a corporate etiquette class.

00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:50.799
Like, give us classes that matter.

00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:55.039
Hey, I'm going to be at work, I don't care if you're a teacher or you're a therapist or whatever.

00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:59.440
A lot of these people don't have any type of corporate etiquette.

00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:04.960
Like, I remember when it came to doing stuff for now they're getting a school, like that school was so horrible at emails.

00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:08.079
And I'm like, I know for a fact you would not get more emails than I get.

00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:11.200
And I got like six or seven emails, and I respond on a daily.

00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:14.880
I know that's not what's going on here, it ain't that hard.

00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:17.440
And that that's also the funny thing, too.

00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:19.680
It's like with certain schools, then they can do your chat a certain way.

00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:25.119
Now I realized, hey, I'm degreed, I'm I've been corporate for yeah a decade, so don't try to run this on me.

00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:27.599
I'm not one of the regular parents that run over here.

00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:29.440
I'm not one of the little parents.

00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:31.680
I'm not one of your little friends.

00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:32.559
Exactly.

00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:36.559
So I don't know, all that stuff happened, but I mean, I just think they need some time.

00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:44.640
I think there's I think if I think there's if Gen Z has a millennial manager, I think they'll eventually be okay.

00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:46.880
If it has a Gen X or Boomer, it's gonna be much.

00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:50.799
It's gonna be uh it's not gonna go that way, it's gonna be a lot of friction.

00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:51.920
It's gonna be a lot of friction.

00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:54.640
It's like you know, my baby sister is almost 18.

00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:59.119
My dad is what 61 or 62.

00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:01.279
It's different.

00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:03.039
My dad remember integration.

00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:17.119
My sister knows about that, and so the way that you know they even attack and maybe raising her for certain things or doing certain things is much different on what they feel you should do versus kind of what the reality of understanding what type of child that you have now.

00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:21.119
I think that's what a lot of the managers are not doing in the workplace.

00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:31.200
I think that some of the stuff should be taught um in middle school and in high school, even just I think it's important to have etiquette classes, right?

00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:35.359
And I think it starts there and it builds out.

00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:44.799
My grandma had took took me or put me in some etiquette classes growing up, and it just helps you understand appropriate behaviors.

00:27:44.960 --> 00:28:02.960
Some people are not just self-aware or socially aware of themselves, um, which maybe causes them to have issues, or maybe people experience them as being unpleasant to be around because they don't have that awareness.

00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:05.759
No, I definitely agree.

00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:06.319
I agree.

00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:09.839
Um, but I think that's a good, like a good little warm-up to the episode.

00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:17.759
I think we might eventually get into the black leadership stuff, but I want you to get into I think one of the coolest ones you had up there, I guess, was that.

00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:23.200
Um did you want to do the FBI hack or the cyber Trump cyber strategy?

00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:25.119
Let's start with the FBI one.

00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:25.440
Okay.

00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:30.000
Okay, so somebody hacked the FBI's wiretap system.

00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:32.799
And let's talk a little bit about it.

00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:51.119
So the FBI, the agency responsible for investigating cybercrime, protecting national security, and surveilling suspected criminals, just confirmed that hackers broke into one of its most sensitive internal networks, the one used to manage wiretaps in foreign intelligence surveillance warrants.

00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:54.880
CNN first reported this on March 5th, citing an anonymous source.

00:28:54.960 --> 00:29:06.160
The FBI confirmed the next day with a statement that said, and I quote, they identified and addressed suspicious activities on their networks and leveraged all technical capabilities to respond.

00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:06.799
That's it.

00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:07.920
That's the whole statement.

00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:11.039
No scope, no attacker identified, no timeline.

00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:18.000
So let's talk about what was actually on this system because it isn't just embarrassing, it is potentially catastrophic.

00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:29.759
So the compromise network is believed to be the Digital Collections System Network, the platform FBI investigators use to manage court-ordered wiretap authorizations and FISA warrants.

00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:39.440
These warrants are issued under Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and are used to surveil suspected foreign spies, terrorists, and serious national security threats.

00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:41.039
What's on this system?

00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:42.559
Active case data.

00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:50.640
So the identities of surveillance targets, the methods being used to collect intelligence, and potentially the identities of confidential informants.

00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:56.559
If an adversary had even brief access to this, they could alert surveillance targets that they're being watched.

00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:00.240
They could identify and cover assets, they could manipulate case records.

00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:06.079
The downstream damage from even a short dwell time here is enormous.

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:08.640
The timing is also deeply uncomfortable.

00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:16.240
Salt Typhoon, the Chinese government-backed hacking group, already breached ATT, Verizon, Lumen, and several other major U.S.

00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:24.240
telecom providers in 2024, specifically targeting their unlawful lawful intercept systems.

00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:28.160
These are the same kind of systems used for wiretapping.

00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:34.079
Whether this FBI breach is connected to Salt Typhoon is still under investigation, but the pattern is hard to ignore.

00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:40.960
Now, the detail that security experts are flagging loudly is that the FBI's top cyber talent has been hemorrhaging.

00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:49.920
Multiple senior officials have left, retired, or been pushed out recently, raising serious concerns about the institutional knowledge needed to defend these systems.

00:30:50.240 --> 00:31:00.319
Now, if we let this sink in, the agency, again, that is supposed to be investigating the hacks got hacked on the very system they use to spy on other people.

00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:06.799
If that doesn't underscore how serious the national cyber threat environment is right now, I don't know what does.

00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:13.920
So for that article, that's crazy.

00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:16.400
That's that's big.

00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:23.599
Yeah, I mean, it's it's in when you when you said that the people are leaving.

00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:34.319
So now it's like it's one of the things where the the people we see this the grip all the time on the TikTok or wherever, how you know nobody's taking chances on these entry-level guys, and now these older people are aging out.

00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:37.920
So now you there's a knowledge gap there that's not there.

00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:42.319
Because believe it or not, guys, even something like the FBI, I'm guaranteeing that documentation ain't that good.

00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:47.839
Most of these places have bad documentation or their their grc and everything is on Excel spreadsheets.

00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:49.200
Like for real, yeah.

00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:50.720
That's how something can happen to you.

00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:53.200
It's like, you know, nobody's policing the police.

00:31:53.440 --> 00:32:06.559
And what makes it even more uh dangerous is now people can go in if if if it's true about what access to the uh the data they have, now these criminal organizations can reach out, like, hey, I know you got that thing.

00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:10.720
I give you you know half a million dollars, erase them, take them off.

00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:12.559
So now they off the radar.

00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:16.480
So now if they ever get to court, um, we don't know any knowledge of that.

00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:19.200
So whatever they had, those records, all is gone.

00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:22.880
How is it possible?

00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:23.920
I mean, we know it's possible.

00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:25.920
Inside job, maybe we know it's possible.

00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:35.359
We in anything is possible, but at that level, why is the security not in a better position?

00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:41.440
Why are there not more loopholes for you to fall through before you get to the data?

00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:42.720
You know, that's scary.

00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:45.519
That's really, really scary.

00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:56.240
Nobody come out and say it, but certain things, their system's supposed to be ironclad, like you're supposed to be somebody supposed to show up at your house if you get inside the FBI network.

00:32:56.319 --> 00:32:58.880
Literally, there's actually a movie that's kind of like that.

00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:04.240
What it's about a uh a lady who did something, but she didn't know what she was doing.

00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:11.359
This actually, this is not this is not similar, but it's kind of similar.

00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:14.480
There's a show on Peacock called the Copenhagen Test.

00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:17.039
I don't know if you've seen it or our viewers, have you seen it?

00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:23.759
The premise is that um these guys kind of it's called they work for a a foundation inside the U.S.

00:33:23.839 --> 00:33:32.160
government called the orphanage, where they are, you know, looking out for terrorist threats and like other things of that nature, yada yada yada.

00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:44.400
And just a brief overview is like one of the agents actually gets hacked, like his body, he's hacked by uh um what's it called?

00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:50.240
It's cool, it's the cool tech, whatever, biotech, whatever that he's hacked.

00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:53.200
So now he's hacked, and people can see what he sees.

00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:56.960
And he didn't know it, he had to discover the hack and all this other stuff.

00:33:57.039 --> 00:34:01.119
So now people are seeing possibly privileged information or they're spying on the U.S.

00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:01.680
government.

00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:04.240
But that kind of reminds me reminds me of that.

00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:07.599
But then if you follow that story, it's a lot going on with that situation.

00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:10.559
But however, it's it's a good show.

00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:13.840
But going back to this, I don't know.

00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:15.360
Maybe y'all should hire some more people.

00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:17.440
If did you see the last shaft?

00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:30.800
So in the last movie, in the last shaft, the um son of Shaft actually did like uh forensics for the FBI, like shaft, like like shaft, yeah.

00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:33.679
You know, Samuel Jackson, yeah, and then I think who was that?

00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:35.760
So it's like a series spinoff or something.

00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:37.760
No, it's just a third installment of the movies.

00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:38.960
Oh, okay.

00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:44.719
Um but I think Shaft actually it was a show, but then they also made movies in uh what late 90s, early 2000s.

00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:49.360
But yeah, his son is does forensics for the FBI on there, so I just thought about that.

00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:49.760
It's pretty cool.

00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:52.480
So you should probably like y'all should go check that out.

00:34:53.519 --> 00:35:08.079
I think I wanted to get into I think what some of the stuff with anthropic and so the Anthropic Bug Bounty Masterclass, AI versus Firefox.

00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:20.639
In a historic partnership with Mozilla, Anthropic revealed on Friday, March 6, 2026, that their Cloud Opus 4.6 model identified 20 vulnerabilities in a Firefox browser in just a two-week span.

00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:29.199
Cloud found a use after free bug in the Firefox JavaScript engine after just 20 minutes of scanning nearly 6,000 C files.

00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:36.880
For context, these are logic bugs that traditional automated fuzzers usually miss, and human researchers spend weeks hunting.

00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:40.400
Of the 22 bugs, 14 were high severity.

00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:45.280
Anthropic noted that this represents nearly 20% of all high severity patches.

00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:48.639
Mozilla issued in the entire year 2025.

00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:53.199
This isn't just a tool, it's a workforce replacement for initial discovery.

00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:56.079
This is the most fascinating part for your audience.

00:35:56.320 --> 00:36:00.400
While Cloud was elite at finding bugs, it was a terrible hacker.

00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:05.920
Anthropic spent$4,000 on API critic trying to get Cloud to write a working exploit for these bugs.

00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:14.880
It succeeded only twice, and even then, the exploits were crude and only worked because Anthropic intentionally stripped away security features like sandboxing.

00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.519
The defender currently has the AI advantage.

00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:23.199
If you're a security researcher, you don't need to fear for your job, but you must learn to manage these AI agents.

00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:32.239
The future isn't your the future isn't you staring at code, it's you validating 112 unique reports an AI agent just handled you or just handed you.

00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:34.000
So I thought that was pretty cool.

00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:37.280
A way it can enhance it in the I've 22?

00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:37.840
Yeah.

00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:40.239
14 high severity.

00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:41.760
Yeah.

00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:43.519
Somebody's busy.

00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:54.960
And then I was I've been hearing the things about um, you know, a lot of the pen test guys would talk about that, you know, some like you just said, some of the stuff that AI is creating, the exploits aren't that good.

00:36:55.760 --> 00:37:04.079
And I think that's good because it shouldn't be able to create good exploits because you just end up like the Mexican government.

00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:06.960
Um that was a good one.

00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:13.440
But while you said that, I actually had like a whole bunch of stuff about Cloud, so we might just let it roll because they really were going in.

00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:19.599
Um, so right after that, Cloud's Pentagon pivot and the ethics boom.

00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:29.920
And Thoppic is proving that ethics as a product is a massive commercial winner after CEO Darlo Amoti refused a Pentagon deal over concerns about mass surveillance.

00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:33.920
Cloud's growth has skyrocketed Claude's.

00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:34.559
There we go.

00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:39.599
Cloud's growth has skyrocketed recently, surpassing chat GPT and daily U.S.

00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:40.320
downloads.

00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:49.440
On March 5th, 2026, the DoD formally designated Anthropic a supply chain risk because they wouldn't allow Cloud to be used for autonomous weapons or surveillance.

00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:53.519
Instead of a PR disaster, this became a proxy first rallying crowd.

00:37:53.599 --> 00:38:01.119
On March 2nd, Cloud hit 149,000 daily downloads and the US beating chat GPT's 124,000.

00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:10.079
Their daily active users hit 11.3 million, a staggering 183 increase since the start of the year.

00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:14.559
This is a masterclass in brand different brand differentiation.

00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:15.920
I need to slow down.

00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:20.000
This is a masterclass in brand differentiation.

00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:21.679
Had my tongue going.

00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:30.800
When open AI and Google are chasing massive government defense contracts, anthropic chose to be the constitutional AI.

00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:35.760
They are betting that the public sphere of AI surveillance is a bigger market than the military.

00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:40.400
In business, sometimes the best feature is what your product refuses to do.

00:38:54.159 --> 00:38:54.800
What did it say?

00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:57.440
And it actually had me cracking up.

00:38:57.679 --> 00:38:58.880
Should I pull up what it said?

00:38:59.119 --> 00:38:59.360
Yeah.

00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:00.400
Okay, hold on, real quick.

00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:01.199
Yeah, FM.

00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:05.920
Okay, let me see.

00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:12.559
So I'm telling you what I said.

00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:19.280
I said, what's the T with the government and y'all and them choosing open AI over y'all over some clauses y'all refused to drop?

00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:20.400
That's what I said.

00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:22.320
And it said, okay, here's the full T.

00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:24.960
This just went down literally last week and it's messy.

00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:39.039
The background back in July 2025, Anthropic signed a$200 million Pentagon contract that included two explicit restrictions, claw could not be used for mass domestic surveillance of American citizens and cannot be used to power fully autonomous weapons systems.

00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:41.840
Everyone agreed to those terms and things were fine for months.

00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:55.519
In January 2026, Defense Secretary Heggseth issued an AI strategy memo requiring any lawful use language in all DOD AI contracts, basically demanding Anthropic dropped those two restrictions.

00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:56.960
Anthropic said no.

00:39:57.039 --> 00:40:10.639
The company argued it had tried in good faith over months of negotiations, making it clear, making clear it supported all lawful uses of AI for national security, aside from those two narrow exceptions on autonomous weapons.

00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:16.639
Specifically, Anthropic said today's frontier AI models simply aren't reliable enough to be trusted for that.

00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:23.280
And using that using them that way would endanger American troops and civilians.

00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:28.400
The Pentagon gave Anthropic a 501 deadline on February 27th to drop the restrictions.

00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:38.159
When Anthropic didn't budge, Trump posted on Troop Social directing every federal agent C to immediately cease using Anthropic's technology.

00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:49.920
XF then designated Anthropic a supply chain risk to national security, meaning no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic whatsoever.

00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:55.679
Hours later, OpenAI announced its own Pentagon contract, seemingly taking Anthropic's place.

00:40:55.840 --> 00:41:06.719
Many outside observers immediately questioned how OpenAI's stated red lines on autonomous weapons and surveillance were actually any different from what Anthropic had.

00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:09.599
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:15.039
Bottom line is Anthropic took a major financial hit to hold a safety line.

00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:21.599
OpenAI took the contract under terms that critics say aren't actually mutually stronger.

00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:24.480
But yeah, the numbers, the app store glow up.

00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:36.320
Clot was sitting at number 131 on the app store on January 30th, hover in top 20 through February, then jumped all the way to number one on Saturday, February 28th, knocking Chai GPT out the top spot.

00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:38.079
Yeah.

00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:48.239
The fact that you can ask AI that and it can give you that story, and you not have to go read 17 articles to put it all together, right?

00:41:48.639 --> 00:41:53.599
Yeah, and you can tell that I mean it's gonna give you the sources it put it from, so exactly it's factual.

00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:56.320
So no, I definitely I mean that's definitely cool.

00:41:56.559 --> 00:42:04.880
And since we got that, we have one more funny, well, not funny thing, but the install fix from Claude of what's happening with that.

00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:06.239
And let's see.

00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:14.960
Hackers are exploiting the Claude Surge by targeting developers and vibe coders with a new social engineering campaign called install fix.

00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:22.239
I really feel like it's just a delineation of clickfix in my if I'm just surmising what I believe based on the name.

00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:28.400
Attackers are using Google Ads to push fake cloud code anthropic CLL tool installation pages.

00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:34.800
These sites are virtually identical to cloud.ai, even including the correct documentation sidebars.

00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:37.760
The site asks you to copy and paste.

00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:40.960
See, it's always the copy and paste.

00:42:41.039 --> 00:42:45.199
So, y'all, we've covered click fix before, so this is very similar.

00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:49.440
The site asks you to copy and paste a standard install command into your terminal.

00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:56.639
This command actually runs an info stiller called Amateur Stiller, the successor to ACR Stiller.

00:42:56.960 --> 00:43:00.480
It uses uh MsHta.exe.

00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:06.639
It's a legitimate Windows tool to execute malicious code in memory, making it nearly invisible to basic antivirus.

00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:17.920
Keywords basic, but I honestly think stuff like malware bytes and some of the other tools will actually hopefully block it, but they may catch it afterwards.

00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:20.719
It may not do it um right when it happens.

00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:31.599
Um, but also in the Bluetooth environment, there's plenty of alerts where you see MSHTA being used legitimately, and then you have to just research, okay, well, how can somebody like exploit it and what should I look for?

00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:35.280
That's what you should do, so you're not doing all these false positives.

00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:43.199
But once you hit enter, the script drains your browser cookies, save passwords, and most critically your AWS and GitHub session tokens.

00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:47.360
We talk about vibe coding using AI to build apps without deep tech knowledge.

00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:53.199
If you're a vibe coder, you are the number one target because you're more likely to copy and paste commands without reading the URL.

00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:53.920
Stop and look.

00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:57.360
If the URL in the command isn't cloud or AI, don't run it.

00:43:57.599 --> 00:43:59.760
And I actually want to see.

00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:02.800
How this actually looks.

00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:05.199
Let me go find this real quick.

00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:08.960
Let me see.

00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:09.840
Let's let's share.

00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:15.599
Because I know a lot of times people like, man, y'all need to uh share what's on screen sometimes.

00:44:17.519 --> 00:44:18.800
So let's share screen.

00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:21.199
I'm gonna say what vibe coding is while you're doing that.

00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:21.840
That's fine.

00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:33.119
So vibe coding is basically a style of programming where you are describing what you want in plain language, and then AI will write the code for you.

00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:52.559
Um, so it looks like it was coined by OpenAI earlier in 2005, but the idea is that you fully give in to the vibes and you accept the output and only intervene when something breaks, as opposed to actually reading and understanding every line of code that is being produced.

00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:55.519
Yep.

00:44:55.679 --> 00:45:00.719
Uh so let me see if it'll let me click on this and zoom.

00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:08.960
So this is what is what the people are looking at, they believe is actually be is legitimate when it comes to um the install fix.

00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:12.159
But let me squint and see what I see of this picture.

00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:14.639
Oh, so I think the top one is the real one, right?

00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:17.519
And the bottom one is the fake, if I'm not mistaken.

00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:29.440
Yeah, because this one says cloud um cloud code pages.dev.

00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:35.039
You see how they look almost identical to the pages themselves.

00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:41.599
But if you ever the thing is if you ever see an ad for something, you can always trust but verify.

00:45:41.679 --> 00:45:44.320
Go to the direct page and see if they got the same URLs.

00:45:48.079 --> 00:45:50.079
So this is how they're doing it right here.

00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:52.800
So this will tell you right here, this says developerspace.com.

00:45:56.239 --> 00:46:01.920
But these are everybody on Line is saying learn AI, learn it, vibe code, vibe code.

00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:10.159
But these people lack basic security fundamentals, and so they don't understand that everything with AI is not all good.

00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:15.760
So let's see if they got any more pictures of what it's looking like.

00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:21.360
So yeah, so this stuff right here, let's actually look at what it's telling them to install.

00:46:38.719 --> 00:46:53.280
So you could always, if it's telling you to go to these websites, you could put these in a in a sandbox and actually go view them and and see if they are the same site that stuff is coming from Claude.

00:46:53.360 --> 00:46:55.039
Uh you can use something called browserling.

00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:58.960
So that's like the word browser, and then you add L-I-N-G.com.

00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:01.119
You get like three free uses uh a day on that.

00:47:01.199 --> 00:47:02.400
So you can try something like that out.

00:47:02.639 --> 00:47:04.159
Joe's sandbox.

00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:09.360
Um, you can use virus totals, uh, url scan.io, and there's a couple other ones you can use.

00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:17.360
Uh you used to could use Square X, but I think that's shifted to be more enterprise use versus like um users just being able to use it free.

00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:21.280
That's why I used to use for my virtual sandbox, it's pretty much a disposable browser.

00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:22.719
That's perfect.

00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:25.280
Oh, look, we get a video.

00:47:26.079 --> 00:47:27.199
Can you see this on your end?

00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:28.719
Okay, perfect.

00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:33.840
So, guys, we're looking at the actual install fix right now.

00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:47.440
That's it.

00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:54.239
Yeah, like I guess it was just showing somebody go in there and copy.

00:47:56.960 --> 00:48:01.760
Yeah, I thought I wanted to see it actually uh exploited, but that's pretty much what it looks like.

00:48:01.920 --> 00:48:06.960
So you gotta remain vigilant um when it comes to these things right here.

00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:15.519
Because if you don't, you will end up uh with your computer messed up and your AWS and GitHub session tokens taken.

00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:21.199
And if that happens, even if you got MFA, you screwed because they get your session tokens and they could be in your session.

00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:22.719
So please don't do that.

00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:24.159
I mean, you can call them.

00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:31.679
The AWS and GitHub can eventually get them out on the back end, but you'll be screwed for a while for whatever damage that they do while they're in there.

00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:33.920
So choice is yours.

00:48:34.559 --> 00:48:37.760
So it's been a while since we've talked about health data.

00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:39.599
Let's let's take it back.

00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:41.679
3.4 million people.

00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:45.760
Health data was stolen and nobody noticed for a year.

00:48:46.079 --> 00:48:50.320
So a hacker breaks into a healthcare tech company in November 2024.

00:48:50.559 --> 00:49:00.639
They start pulling data, names, social security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, health insurance numbers, medical IDs, and nobody notices for almost a full year.

00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:03.920
This is the TriZetto story.

00:49:04.079 --> 00:49:09.840
And if you've ever visited a doctor who checks your insurance before treating you, there's a real chance your data was in there.

00:49:10.079 --> 00:49:21.440
Trizetto is owned by Cog Cognizant, a tech conglomerate, and they provide revenue cycle management and insurance eligibility verification for healthcare providers across the U.S.

00:49:21.760 --> 00:49:27.679
Over 87, over 875,000 providers use them.

00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:35.039
They're basically every time a doctor office runs your insurance before an appointment, they are somewhere in that pipeline.

00:49:35.199 --> 00:49:41.280
So hackers first gain access in November 2024 through their external web portal.

00:49:41.519 --> 00:49:46.960
They stay completely undetected, reading, copying, exfiltrating for nearly 11 months.

00:49:47.679 --> 00:49:53.199
Trizetto didn't catch suspicious activity until October 2nd, 2025.

00:49:53.360 --> 00:49:56.880
Even then, they didn't notify affected providers until December 9th.

00:49:57.039 --> 00:50:00.639
And patients didn't start receiving letters until February 2026.

00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:04.239
That's 15 months from breach notification for some people.

00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:15.360
The final count confirmed with State Attorney General: 3,433,965,000 people, one of the largest healthcare data breaches confirmed this year.

00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:28.079
And it's not just your name and birthday, it's insurance member numbers, Medicare beneficiary, beneficiary IDs, provider details, demographic health data, the kind of info that cannot be changed.

00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:31.360
No ransomware group has claimed responsibility yet.

00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:36.719
No financial data like credit cards was exposed, but that's almost beside the point.

00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:50.159
Health data, obviously, we know to be more valuable on dark wet markets than credit card numbers because it does enable medical identity theft, which is when someone is using your insurance to get treatments or prescriptions or surgeries billed under your name.

00:50:50.480 --> 00:50:51.679
That sounds like a nightmare.

00:50:51.840 --> 00:51:00.480
TriZeto has partnered with Crawl for credit monitoring and is sending, of course, free 12-month identity protection to affected individuals.

00:51:00.639 --> 00:51:03.519
If you get a letter, sign up immediately.

00:51:03.840 --> 00:51:07.760
11 months of unauthorized access, 11 months.

00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:11.519
That is more than a security gap.

00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:21.440
Healthcare companies, um, healthcare tech companies are sitting at the center of some of our most sensitive data and monitoring capabilities.

00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:24.960
Clearly didn't match the responsibility in this particular case.

00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:30.480
Um, if you can think about when we talked about change healthcare last year, so yikes.

00:51:30.960 --> 00:51:32.079
Yeah, and hold on.

00:51:32.639 --> 00:51:38.159
Before we even give a deep dive, real quick, let's go ahead and hit on with this real quick.

00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:40.159
Today's video is sponsored by Aura.

00:51:40.480 --> 00:51:50.000
Aura monitors your personal data, including your social security number, across billions of data points like the dark web and public court records to detect and alert you to potential identity theft.

00:51:50.480 --> 00:51:55.199
They give you up to$5 million in identity theft insurance if the worst case mayo happen.

00:51:55.760 --> 00:52:00.400
They also provide a bunch of other features to keep you safe online and ARL side one app.

00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:07.760
You can go to my link right now, r.com forward slash text or chatter, to try 14 days for free.

00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:11.840
That'll be enough time for R to find out if any of your personal data is exposed.

00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:20.400
I highly recommend you do this right now because not only is the national public data not going to do anything to help you, they probably aren't even going to face any repercussions for this week.

00:52:20.639 --> 00:52:24.320
I'm not leaving myself and my family vulnerable to data breaches if you don't want either.

00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:28.239
You can go to r.com forward slash textual chatter to try two weeks for free.

00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:29.519
Now back to the video.

00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:31.920
But yeah, that's crazy.

00:52:32.079 --> 00:52:33.519
15 months.

00:52:34.320 --> 00:52:35.280
No, 11.

00:52:35.519 --> 00:52:35.920
11.

00:52:36.239 --> 00:52:37.199
Still, bye.

00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:42.400
My thing is I always go back to okay, what detections did y'all miss?

00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:45.760
Or did y'all even have detections in place?

00:52:45.840 --> 00:52:49.199
Remember, you just talk about some do these companies uh have sims in there?

00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:50.800
Yeah, we the other day.

00:52:51.039 --> 00:52:53.599
A lot of these people got people at the company that don't know what they're doing.

00:52:53.679 --> 00:52:57.119
They've just been at the company so long that they said, Oh, you gonna work in this department.

00:52:57.360 --> 00:52:59.840
Like I said, remember we said tabletops and all that kind of stuff?

00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:03.679
I bet they didn't do no tabletop, they're gonna start doing them now.

00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:14.079
And it reminds me because uh it's a company right now recruiting a lot, well, they're recruiting for another role because uh a couple of years ago they had a big breach.

00:53:14.239 --> 00:53:19.760
So now they've been very diligent on getting the right security talent for their org because they don't want that to happen no more.

00:53:19.920 --> 00:53:22.639
That's typically what you see happen in these situations.

00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:25.119
So Trizetto is probably gonna be hiring.

00:53:25.360 --> 00:53:28.239
Matter of fact, you should type in Trizetto now and see if they they need some help.

00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:30.159
Reach out to the CEO or the CISO.

00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:33.119
I'm like, hey, look, I see y'all had this this breach, dog.

00:53:33.440 --> 00:53:34.400
I got you.

00:53:36.719 --> 00:53:38.159
Like, tell them I'm screaming.

00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:38.800
Hey fam.

00:53:39.199 --> 00:53:39.679
Hey fam.

00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:41.760
Yeah, tell them that you had that happen.

00:53:41.920 --> 00:53:44.480
Um, but no, that's that's just crazy.

00:53:44.559 --> 00:53:45.920
I'm I've never even heard a crawl.

00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:47.599
That's why I just put the aura ad right there.

00:53:47.679 --> 00:53:52.880
Cause I'm like, I know they're gonna alert you because when ATT had they breach, they told me before ATT told me.

00:53:53.119 --> 00:53:53.599
Same.

00:53:55.039 --> 00:53:56.880
Change healthcare told me.

00:53:58.480 --> 00:53:59.760
I mean change healthcare.

00:53:59.840 --> 00:54:02.480
ATT told me so far out, right?

00:54:02.639 --> 00:54:04.639
It almost didn't even matter.

00:54:06.320 --> 00:54:07.440
Tell me about it.

00:54:08.559 --> 00:54:11.920
But um, let's see.

00:54:13.280 --> 00:54:22.800
Because we had actually I thought what was pretty cool briefly was to talk about Apple's Chromebook killer.

00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:24.480
I heard about it.

00:54:24.719 --> 00:54:25.280
Let's try it.

00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:27.440
Pretty much to call it the MacBook Neo.

00:54:28.239 --> 00:54:36.880
Um, Apple just dropped the MacBook Neo, their most affordable laptop ever, starting at$5.99 and$4.99 for the education market.

00:54:37.199 --> 00:54:41.840
It's a direct shot at the soft middle of the PC ecosystem dominated by Chromebook.

00:54:42.239 --> 00:54:47.039
This is the first time Apple has put an iPhone class chip in the Mac, the A18 Pro.

00:54:47.360 --> 00:54:50.960
It's a fanless solid and offers 16 hours of battery life.

00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:54.639
It comes in four colors blush, indigo, citrus, and silver.

00:54:54.880 --> 00:54:58.559
To hit that price point, Apple cut the specs that has eight gigs.

00:54:58.639 --> 00:54:59.760
Ooh, that's a low.

00:54:59.920 --> 00:55:10.559
It has eight gigs of RAM, non-upgradable, of course, a 13-inch liquid retina display that lacks true tone, and two USB-C ports, one of which only USB 2.0 speed.

00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:11.280
That sucks.

00:55:11.440 --> 00:55:13.679
You need at least USB 3.0 now.

00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:14.719
The strategy.

00:55:14.960 --> 00:55:16.480
Apple is resetting the floor.

00:55:16.559 --> 00:55:25.679
They are betting that a 599 Mac, even with 8 gigs of RAM, will perform better for AI and web tasks than the$600 Intel Core Ultra 5 PC.

00:55:25.920 --> 00:55:28.719
For the parents and the career changers, this is the gateway Mac.

00:55:28.960 --> 00:55:39.199
If you've been waiting for a cheap way to get your kids in the ecosystem on a budget machine to start learning to code, this is the one that officially kills the value proposition of a mid-tier iPad.

00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:39.760
But you know what?

00:55:39.840 --> 00:55:42.159
Now I think about it, they got a point.

00:55:42.559 --> 00:55:51.519
I wonder why I launched this and then also possibly kill your iPad pros because that's what is I think is going to be directly competing with that.

00:55:53.039 --> 00:55:54.880
I mean, I'm I can see it.

00:55:55.119 --> 00:55:55.599
Let me see.

00:55:55.679 --> 00:55:57.119
I know people probably want to see pictures of it.

00:55:57.199 --> 00:55:57.920
It actually looks nice.

00:55:58.400 --> 00:55:59.199
I'm not mad at it.

00:55:59.280 --> 00:56:03.360
I think that it's about time that Apple has an affordable price point for folks.

00:56:03.440 --> 00:56:05.920
I mean, people love their Apple devices.

00:56:06.239 --> 00:56:12.800
I don't know if depending on your major, it might not be the best device.

00:56:13.920 --> 00:56:14.079
Yeah.

00:56:14.320 --> 00:56:20.159
If you're like in the engineering field or um if you're in the engineering field, you might suppose to get a steel MacBook Pro.

00:56:20.400 --> 00:56:23.760
Yeah, just because you need to have how much RAM?

00:56:24.079 --> 00:56:24.559
Eight.

00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:28.239
This one got, I think this one got um yeah, that one got eight.

00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:31.039
Yeah, that's not gonna be this got more than 16, I believe.

00:56:31.119 --> 00:56:32.320
Yeah, yeah.

00:56:32.559 --> 00:56:34.400
And also, it's also a chip.

00:56:34.480 --> 00:56:37.280
They have a chip that they put in the iPad or iPhone in it, too.

00:56:37.360 --> 00:56:39.760
So I still think it's be better than a Chromebook, though.

00:56:39.920 --> 00:56:46.320
And parent oh, immediately, and parents don't let your kids convince you that they just have to have it either.

00:56:46.639 --> 00:56:56.159
It'll be it'll be it'll be nice to see some some reviews start coming out about people's experiences because most of these people already have MacBooks, you know.

00:56:56.400 --> 00:57:02.239
Yeah, I think I think it's pretty cool, like an entry-level Mac for people who it's some people I would I ain't gonna lie, I probably would have got one.

00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:03.280
Yeah, I ain't gonna lie.

00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:06.639
There's some people that literally all they do is just get on the internet and they don't really do anything.

00:57:06.800 --> 00:57:08.159
It's cheaper than the iPad.

00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:10.639
Yeah, because I I try to get you there all the time.

00:57:10.719 --> 00:57:11.840
Hey, you just want an iPad?

00:57:11.920 --> 00:57:21.039
No, I want another MacBook because her screen or her MacBook Air is messed up, so but it's a Mac remaining spot, literally on the first floor.

00:57:21.119 --> 00:57:25.360
I just have never scanned their uh QR code to see some details.

00:57:27.039 --> 00:57:31.039
Um, but Margo, yeah, go ahead.

00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:38.000
All right, so there's an app for that, and this time it's for spotting people who are recording you.

00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:40.320
So quick change of pace.

00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:44.079
This story is wild from a different direction.

00:57:44.239 --> 00:57:47.360
So you've heard of Meta's Ray Band Smart Glasses, right?

00:57:47.440 --> 00:57:48.559
You know, I wear mines.

00:57:48.719 --> 00:57:56.400
The ones that look like totally normal sunglasses, but have a camera built in and can record video, take photos, and interact with AI all without the person in front of you knowing.

00:57:56.480 --> 00:58:02.320
Yeah, those, I don't really like that because the people should know that you're recording because there's a flash on it.

00:58:02.639 --> 00:58:06.079
I'm not really feeling the context and all of the conversations there.

00:58:06.239 --> 00:58:20.800
I do get the hee hee ha ha jokes, but as long as nobody has altered what the software, the light will be on if somebody is recording andor taking a picture of you, if you're not aware, because people are giving a lot of thoughts and opinions and they don't know anything about how it works.

00:58:21.039 --> 00:58:29.840
So if someone, which most people have not jailbroke their glasses, um, you'll be able to know if somebody's recording you.

00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:30.880
Back to the story.

00:58:31.039 --> 00:58:43.679
A Swiss developer named Yes Jean Renaud got fed up after reading reports about people using those glasses to secretly film people in massage parlors during immigration raids and even in courtrooms.

00:58:43.840 --> 00:58:48.079
Mark Zuckerberg's own team was scolded by a judge for wearing Ray Bans in court.

00:58:48.239 --> 00:58:50.000
He decided to fight back with code.

00:58:50.159 --> 00:58:51.760
He built nearby glasses.

00:58:51.840 --> 00:59:01.199
It's a free Android app, open source, zero data collection, and it does one thing: it constantly scans for Bluetooth signals, signals from smart glasses.

00:59:01.360 --> 00:59:10.239
When it detects a device from Meta, Luxotica, which makes the Ray-Ban frames, or snap, it sends you a push notification.

00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:12.480
Smart glasses are probably nearby.

00:59:12.639 --> 00:59:18.639
The clever part, every Bluetooth device is required to broadcast a manufacturer's identifier.

00:59:18.800 --> 00:59:21.440
A company ID is part of how Bluetooth works.

00:59:21.519 --> 00:59:24.880
It's mandatory, you can't hide it without breaking Bluetooth compliance.

00:59:25.039 --> 00:59:32.719
So he basically mapped the IDs for Meta, Luxotica, and Snap, and the app listens for them within about 30 to 50 feet in open space.

00:59:32.880 --> 00:59:33.599
It's not perfect.

00:59:33.760 --> 00:59:38.639
MetaQuest VR headsets share the same company ID, so you can trigger false positives.

00:59:38.800 --> 00:59:40.079
But the logic is fair.

00:59:40.239 --> 00:59:46.000
If you can't see someone walking around in an Oculus headset and you get an alert, it's probably glasses.

00:59:46.159 --> 00:59:47.199
Why does this matter?

00:59:47.280 --> 00:59:53.280
Because Meta is reportedly working on adding facial recognition to these glasses through a feature called name tag.

00:59:53.760 --> 01:00:06.960
Two Harvard students already demonstrated last year that you can pair Ray Bans with publicly available facial recognition tools and identify strangers in real time, pulling up names, addresses, and phone numbers just by looking at someone.

01:00:07.199 --> 01:00:10.400
Meta hasn't launched this yet, but the capability exists.

01:00:10.480 --> 01:00:15.119
And Snap and OpenAI both have smart glasses products in the pipeline, too.

01:00:15.360 --> 01:00:23.519
One developer, no funding, no team, built a countermeasure to an entire product category backed by billion-dollar companies.

01:00:23.760 --> 01:00:24.719
I respect it.

01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:26.480
I'm not mad at it at all.

01:00:26.639 --> 01:00:28.079
I'm not mad at it all.

01:00:28.239 --> 01:00:36.480
It's only Android-based as of now, but um Meta's response was our glasses have an LED light when recording.

01:00:36.639 --> 01:00:41.119
What they didn't mention is that YouTube has tutorials on how to disable that LED.

01:00:41.280 --> 01:00:42.880
We are in surveillance arms.

01:00:43.039 --> 01:00:48.880
We are in a surveillance arms race happening at the consumer level, and most people don't even know it.

01:00:49.280 --> 01:00:52.159
Um, yeah, I still like my glasses.

01:00:52.480 --> 01:01:03.119
I will not be discouraged from liking them, but I do understand some of the um discomfort and uncomfortable uncomfortability that people feel.

01:01:03.280 --> 01:01:16.079
Like I saw something online of like a lady getting a wax, and she said that her waxer hat on ray bands, which they are prescription glasses, so people are going to wear them doing you know their normal day-to-day functions.

01:01:16.159 --> 01:01:24.320
However, however, in that circumstance, you being whoever it is that's servicing someone, you do have to be mindful of things like that.

01:01:24.480 --> 01:01:25.440
Yeah, I was gonna ask you.

01:01:25.679 --> 01:01:30.559
I wouldn't want I personally wouldn't want someone giving me a wax who has those glasses on, right?

01:01:30.719 --> 01:01:36.320
Because just because you don't know, and I'm in tech, so you yeah, do you know when meta really isn't recording?

01:01:36.480 --> 01:01:43.039
Exactly, and that's the thing, and I actually wanted to touch on briefly that uh because I sent you that uh I sent you the article.

01:01:43.119 --> 01:01:49.519
Lee actually wanna send it to me, and um pretty much it says the one you sent me, the meta ray ban privacy disaster.

01:01:49.760 --> 01:02:00.960
A joint investigation by Swedish and Kenyan journalists has revealed that human contractors in Nairobi, Kenya are manually reviewing intimate and disturbing footage captured by Meta smart glasses.

01:02:01.599 --> 01:02:05.119
Meta uses a subcontractor called Sama to label data.

01:02:05.280 --> 01:02:12.480
Workers reported viewing footage of people in bathrooms, intimate sexual moments, and people entering pins at ATMs.

01:02:12.880 --> 01:02:13.760
Wait, wait, wait.

01:02:13.840 --> 01:02:14.239
Sorry.

01:02:14.400 --> 01:02:20.880
Is this is this the people's data that's stored in okay, after they've taken whatever?

01:02:21.199 --> 01:02:22.079
I don't think they're not.

01:02:28.480 --> 01:02:37.519
The way that they the way that the article is made, I don't think it's stuff that they were actually wanting to be recorded.

01:02:37.760 --> 01:02:40.079
Uh the people, yeah, the owners of the glasses.

01:02:40.480 --> 01:02:41.519
Okay, okay.

01:02:42.480 --> 01:02:47.280
Meta claims that they use AI to automatically blur faces and sensitive info before humans see it.

01:02:47.360 --> 01:02:54.079
However, contractors stated that the blurring fails constantly, especially in low light conditions, leaving identities fully visible.

01:02:54.400 --> 01:02:59.440
Investigation tests show that Meta's own retail staff are telling customer data stays on the phone.

01:02:59.599 --> 01:03:00.320
This is false.

01:03:00.480 --> 01:03:08.239
If you use AI features like look and tell, that video is streamed to Meta's servers and potentially reviewed by a stranger 8,000 miles away.

01:03:08.639 --> 01:03:10.719
The recording, so is it really AI?

01:03:11.840 --> 01:03:15.920
The recording light on the glasses is easily covered by a tiny piece of black tape.

01:03:16.079 --> 01:03:21.920
In 2026, you have to treat a pair of glasses in a boardroom as a live, a live, unencrypted surveillance camera.

01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:28.400
So people are being low down, they acting like they not glasses by covering the indicator so you just recording.

01:03:28.559 --> 01:03:38.880
But I I thought that it would not if if if if it senses if you've not altered the software and you cover it, I thought that it will not record.

01:03:39.199 --> 01:03:40.960
They probably are altering it.

01:03:41.199 --> 01:03:46.239
Um, but that that's just I just want to add uh insult to injury because that's that is crazy, though.

01:03:46.320 --> 01:03:52.639
Like, but I mean I can understand because it was something about somebody in court who had them on his I I I get it.

01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:54.960
I I absolutely get it now.

01:03:55.039 --> 01:04:00.960
The people who are in these type of professions, you need to be mindful, you need to have a second pair of glasses that are not smart.

01:04:01.039 --> 01:04:07.360
Yeah, because if if those are prescription and you can't see and you're required to remove them, you know what I mean?

01:04:07.440 --> 01:04:10.239
That's a yeah disaster, right?

01:04:10.639 --> 01:04:18.159
And actually, while we are here, let's do let's do the one you sent me about the masters in 36 days.

01:04:18.559 --> 01:04:20.000
Okay, you want me to go?

01:04:20.239 --> 01:04:20.719
I got it.

01:04:21.039 --> 01:04:21.760
You sent that to me.

01:04:22.000 --> 01:04:22.320
Okay.

01:04:23.360 --> 01:04:25.920
Oh, it's the it's the TikTok.

01:04:26.079 --> 01:04:27.679
Yeah, 86 days.

01:04:28.159 --> 01:04:31.119
I think this video is about me, so let's talk.

01:04:31.440 --> 01:04:33.840
One, how is that even possible?

01:04:34.079 --> 01:04:34.960
I have the answer.

01:04:35.119 --> 01:04:38.960
Okay, so I enrolled in Capella's Flex program, which means that it's a self-paced program.

01:04:39.039 --> 01:04:42.159
They give you the classes, you complete them at your own pace.

01:04:42.400 --> 01:04:43.440
All I did was lock in.

01:04:43.519 --> 01:04:47.519
I locked out distractions, I didn't read any books where I typically read a lot.

01:04:47.679 --> 01:04:50.960
I didn't talk on the phone much, I wasn't on social media much.

01:04:51.119 --> 01:04:53.119
I locked in for 36 days straight.

01:04:53.199 --> 01:04:55.760
I wrote about 10 pages worth of essays per day.

01:04:56.000 --> 01:04:57.760
I did not transfer any credits in.

01:04:57.840 --> 01:04:58.800
This is from start to finish.

01:04:58.880 --> 01:05:00.000
It took me 36 days.

01:05:00.159 --> 01:05:02.559
I did not utilize AI, I don't believe in AI.

01:05:02.719 --> 01:05:07.599
Also, AI is very inaccurate, so I wanted my assignments to be correct the first time that I did them.

01:05:07.760 --> 01:05:10.639
Oh, and fun fact, I did this degree in secrecy.

01:05:10.800 --> 01:05:19.280
Nobody knew except for my best friend because I gave it to my parents as a surprise, like, hey, I got a degree, and I also bought them a 7500 square foot home that we're currently in.

01:05:19.679 --> 01:05:26.559
Two, they were also selling like a course and basically a bunch of material to help you cheat and study.

01:05:26.719 --> 01:05:28.079
It was cheating.

01:05:29.199 --> 01:05:32.719
I can teach you a thing or two about research because that's actually not what I do.

01:05:32.960 --> 01:05:36.000
What I do is complete assignments for college students.

01:05:36.079 --> 01:05:41.519
That's their tests, quizzes, PowerPoints, essays, entire online courses, whatever they need to get to graduation.

01:05:41.760 --> 01:05:42.639
Pop quiz.

01:05:42.960 --> 01:05:44.239
Ain't that cheating, though?

01:05:44.480 --> 01:05:45.599
That's definitely cheating.

01:05:45.920 --> 01:05:48.079
I thought you was waiting, let me see where she's going with it.

01:05:48.159 --> 01:05:49.199
Because it sounds like cheating.

01:05:49.360 --> 01:05:49.599
Hold on.

01:05:49.760 --> 01:05:51.360
What like you know what I need?

01:05:51.599 --> 01:05:53.920
I need to add what do you mean by that?

01:05:54.159 --> 01:05:55.280
I need to put that right there.

01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:55.840
Hang on.

01:05:56.079 --> 01:05:58.159
But who's been doing this for years?

01:05:59.119 --> 01:05:59.760
Why people?

01:06:00.239 --> 01:06:02.400
People, okay, okay, you got that one right.

01:06:02.639 --> 01:06:04.239
You don't know what I'm talking about.

01:06:04.400 --> 01:06:15.440
Does Aunt Becky from Full House ring a bell, where her and about fifty other millionaires were paying for their white, undeserving children to get accepted into the best colleges, taking spots from black and brown students?

01:06:15.679 --> 01:06:16.000
No?

01:06:16.159 --> 01:06:16.719
Okay, hold on.

01:06:16.800 --> 01:06:17.760
I got a couple more to mention.

01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:28.639
What about the Harvard's admission bias lawsuit where they found that black apple kids were being admitted into Harvard or significantly lower rates than their white counterparts, despite their applications being quite similar?

01:06:29.039 --> 01:06:31.119
I'm trying to see how she is conflating the two.

01:06:31.199 --> 01:06:32.880
What that got to do with you actually doing work for people?

01:06:33.280 --> 01:06:38.719
I'm just trying to figure out if she's finna get there because it do sound like cheating.

01:06:39.039 --> 01:06:43.360
What about when these allegations also happened at Yale in the early 2020s?

01:06:44.079 --> 01:06:59.440
Or maybe we should talk about the grandfather clause still existing in colleges in the 2000s, meaning that if your mom, dad, or grandparents or anyone in your family went to that college, your chances of getting admitted into that school were three to five times higher than someone who did not have a relative go there.

01:06:59.679 --> 01:07:03.599
Keep in mind, black people were not admitted until recently.

01:07:03.840 --> 01:07:05.679
Before we move on, I just want to clarify.

01:07:05.840 --> 01:07:07.360
When white people cheat, it's a scandal.

01:07:07.440 --> 01:07:10.960
We pay a fine, we do like 60 days in jail, we move on.

01:07:11.280 --> 01:07:15.760
When black people do the same thing, shut the system down.

01:07:16.239 --> 01:07:17.519
We gotta do something different.

01:07:17.679 --> 01:07:20.960
The whole system wants to change to keep us out again.

01:07:22.159 --> 01:07:22.639
Right?

01:07:22.880 --> 01:07:24.480
I'm just trying to make sure I'm keeping up.

01:07:24.719 --> 01:07:30.000
And also, the job market is so awful for people with like these professional degrees.

01:07:30.239 --> 01:07:39.119
I see here that you're a medical tech, so I just wanted to ask, have you had experience with your master's level degree trying to get a job, or are you just a tech or so teeth?

01:07:39.280 --> 01:07:41.039
I'm just trying to figure out where you fall in the category.

01:07:41.119 --> 01:07:44.079
Like, is this from personal experience or just what you see online?

01:07:44.480 --> 01:07:46.960
Also, if the I will interject there.

01:07:47.039 --> 01:07:51.519
I'm with her on that part because all you see is like you see me post all the time.

01:07:51.599 --> 01:07:57.119
Every time we have somebody get a job, I'm like, look, you're hearing all this, but they still hiring out here.

01:07:57.360 --> 01:08:00.480
You're just invisible to the recruiters because they can't find you.

01:08:00.639 --> 01:08:02.559
Yeah, and so yeah, is it bad?

01:08:02.639 --> 01:08:04.239
Yes, is it some BS going on?

01:08:04.320 --> 01:08:07.760
Are black people being interviewed just so the company said they interviewed black people?

01:08:07.920 --> 01:08:10.880
Absolutely, but you can still find a job.

01:08:24.960 --> 01:08:25.840
Or no.

01:08:27.600 --> 01:08:30.720
It's just a slap in the face that someone just earned it in 36 days.

01:08:31.039 --> 01:08:32.720
I just feel like a slap is not enough.

01:08:32.800 --> 01:08:35.680
I can spit in it too if that makes it easier to digest.

01:08:36.000 --> 01:08:43.279
Is I feel like the professional degree beyond a bachelor's has become meaningless.

01:08:43.600 --> 01:08:47.520
Again, based on my research, you don't have one.

01:08:48.319 --> 01:08:52.800
So you would not understand the value of a master's degree until you get one.

01:08:53.279 --> 01:08:58.560
And I don't want to discredit anyone's hard work because I could never go back to school for any more amount of time.

01:08:59.119 --> 01:09:02.960
So admittedly, you're mad at me for something that you could never do.

01:09:03.119 --> 01:09:08.560
You couldn't do it in 36 days, 36 weeks, 36 months, or 36 years.

01:09:08.800 --> 01:09:11.039
But you're mad at how long it took me to do it.

01:09:11.359 --> 01:09:21.520
I am but I would be absolutely devastated if something that took me multiple years could just be handed over to someone in 30 something days.

01:09:21.840 --> 01:09:24.960
The concept of something being handed to me is crazy.

01:09:25.199 --> 01:09:27.119
My ancestors were slaves.

01:09:28.000 --> 01:09:29.039
All right now.

01:09:29.760 --> 01:09:34.960
Um like you, this is the a this that stuff dudes be talking about on the internet.

01:09:35.279 --> 01:09:37.119
You ain't really answered much.

01:09:37.359 --> 01:09:40.079
All you just did was shift the blame every time.

01:09:40.159 --> 01:09:41.840
Well, they can do it, but I can't do it.

01:09:41.920 --> 01:09:48.000
That's literally what she's done the whole time, which I get that sentiment, but you are really not making yourself look better here.

01:09:48.159 --> 01:09:49.840
I don't even know what you got a degree in.

01:09:49.920 --> 01:09:52.640
Did did they ever say what she got a master's degree in?

01:09:52.880 --> 01:09:54.880
I don't think so at the beginning.

01:09:55.039 --> 01:09:56.000
I don't even know her name is.

01:09:56.079 --> 01:09:58.399
I wonder if you could research that while we while we wait.

01:10:06.720 --> 01:10:16.319
On the other hand, your people were the slaveholders, were the property owners, made the laws and policies, built the schools, had centuries worth of advantages.

01:10:16.479 --> 01:10:21.039
So I'm just trying to figure out why you're not further in life than you are.

01:10:21.439 --> 01:10:24.800
Like me compared to you, I'm winning.

01:10:25.039 --> 01:10:27.199
And statistically, I shouldn't be.

01:10:27.439 --> 01:10:30.640
On my dad's side of the family, I'm first generation master degree.

01:10:30.800 --> 01:10:32.880
On my mom's, I'm only second generation.

01:10:33.039 --> 01:10:40.960
No matter how I do it, I promise you, I'm going to play catch up for my son, my grandchildren, and anybody else that falls in my lineage in the future.

01:10:41.279 --> 01:10:45.520
If this consists of me backing up degrees in 36 days, I'm gonna do it.

01:10:45.680 --> 01:10:49.920
If it consists of me buying homes, currently my fourth one, I'm going to do it.

01:10:50.319 --> 01:10:56.560
See, I need to this is the type of stuff you gotta go research people because I can't no no public details.

01:10:56.800 --> 01:10:59.439
What about when he on her page?

01:10:59.520 --> 01:11:00.640
What does it say about her?

01:11:00.960 --> 01:11:02.479
Just the homework girl.

01:11:02.640 --> 01:11:03.840
That's her brand.

01:11:04.399 --> 01:11:05.279
She got an Instagram.

01:11:05.520 --> 01:11:08.800
Instagram only tells you more about people than that.

01:11:08.880 --> 01:11:09.600
Because I'm like, okay.

01:11:09.920 --> 01:11:33.279
The reason why I brought I wanted to talk or like talk about this article was because um was because I feel like will we see more pro we already can clearly see what type of um respect these type of programs get, but I honestly feel like in some way, shape, or form, that might be what the future of education looks like.

01:11:33.520 --> 01:11:42.960
Self-paced education, not everywhere, you're still gonna have the fine uh not defined, you're still gonna have the the high-end institutions, right?

01:11:43.039 --> 01:11:45.520
That'll that'll still be more traditional.

01:11:45.760 --> 01:12:02.800
But I think that self-paced course courses and programs and certifications and things like that will become more prevalent, but the thing is, will they matter if this is gonna be the way that they're seen?

01:12:04.000 --> 01:12:05.680
You get what I'm saying?

01:12:05.920 --> 01:12:09.600
Yes, no, so I remember this something I want to talk about a while back.

01:12:09.760 --> 01:12:17.199
I had um I had bookmarked some on threads like in January, and I guess this woman is a recruiter.

01:12:17.439 --> 01:12:19.920
She said, Tech companies take pedigree seriously.

01:12:20.159 --> 01:12:25.119
No boot camps, must have a computer science degree from a top 20 school, maybe top 50.

01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:26.640
Work for top-tier companies.

01:12:26.800 --> 01:12:29.199
Yes, the short tenure and gaps will impact you.

01:12:29.359 --> 01:12:34.640
They want strong, passive candidates that are already employed by the competition and not even looking for a new role.

01:12:34.800 --> 01:12:37.680
Don't let the I can teach you breaking the tech, folks fool you.

01:12:37.840 --> 01:12:40.640
As a tech recruiter, I'm fighting for my candidates in my life.

01:12:40.800 --> 01:12:43.119
This is a top-tier candidate in my book.

01:12:44.720 --> 01:12:56.800
They said whoever did feedback on them, they said does not meet, and it's a white out right here, talent bar and education or company types plus happy.

01:12:56.880 --> 01:12:58.800
Oh, happy, that means job hopping.

01:12:59.439 --> 01:13:11.760
But I brought that up because this circles back into kind of we tell people some of these things is checklisted, but if you want to do certain things in your career, you got to follow what certain people are doing with their degree paths.

01:13:11.920 --> 01:13:20.560
So if there's some certain things you want to do at certain companies, then you might have to go to a Yale or Harvard or a Stanford or MIT or wherever you want to go.

01:13:21.199 --> 01:13:21.920
Think about it.

01:13:22.399 --> 01:13:26.159
People think all degrees are measured on the same scale.

01:13:26.399 --> 01:13:26.720
They're not.

01:13:26.880 --> 01:13:31.520
Like even where we got our masters at, like in our area, I think it's recognized as like a top program.

01:13:31.680 --> 01:13:35.359
I think even in in the country, I think their cyber program is recognized.

01:13:35.439 --> 01:13:36.880
Now, I do the cyber program.

01:13:37.119 --> 01:13:46.640
However, if you still have to go match it up with I guess maybe like maybe Georgia Tech's or some of the other people's that's just more acclaimed, you may fall short there.

01:13:46.800 --> 01:13:53.119
And a lot of people are some of them are being strategic because they just want to get the checkbox, but then some people aren't thinking past that.

01:13:53.359 --> 01:13:57.760
And so yeah, we don't know what, like I said, I still don't know what degree she got.

01:13:58.239 --> 01:14:09.920
And why are you telling, like, I get that you're doing homework for them, but if the people find out that they're not doing it, and they could get in trouble, yeah, academically dismissed.

01:14:10.720 --> 01:14:16.720
If this consists of me traveling the world and getting more knowledge so I can pass it on to my descendants, I'm gonna do it.

01:14:16.960 --> 01:14:19.840
How I play catch up to you should not matter.

01:14:20.079 --> 01:14:24.960
Again, your people were the slaveholders, my people were the slaves.

01:14:25.119 --> 01:14:27.840
They could not get an education, so I'm doing it today.

01:14:28.079 --> 01:14:33.920
And I think it goes to show that our education system is really based off of greed and money.

01:14:34.640 --> 01:14:38.399
So the same thing black people have been saying for decades.

01:14:38.640 --> 01:14:39.920
Everything's about race.

01:14:40.079 --> 01:14:41.920
Yes, yes, it is.

01:14:42.159 --> 01:14:46.880
I typed out a couple stats for you, so I'm gonna look over here real quick and read them off to you.

01:14:47.199 --> 01:14:54.319
Princeton found that black applicants were 23% less likely to be admitted to selective colleges than their white applicants with similar academic critiques.

01:14:54.720 --> 01:14:57.600
Why she keep on bringing up Ivy leagues?

01:14:58.399 --> 01:15:05.039
I ain't gonna lie, and they're gonna kill me for this, but based off of these snippets, it'd be reminded me of that Jasmine Crockett stuff.

01:15:05.840 --> 01:15:15.199
Where how in the way they they bringing up things that's not really going to the point, you are bringing up stuff, you're bringing you talking about the elite of the elite.

01:15:15.279 --> 01:15:20.319
Granted, there are white people that pay for that, but only the elite of the elite get into the Ivy Leagues.

01:15:20.640 --> 01:15:24.319
You went to Capella, a school anybody can go to and pay for it.

01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:25.680
Stick to that.

01:15:26.399 --> 01:15:29.600
She's trying to make her argument so bad that it's not working.

01:15:31.119 --> 01:15:37.279
The playing the the black card right here, this this didn't even call for none of the things that she brought up.

01:15:37.359 --> 01:15:39.760
This is this wasn't one of them type of things.

01:15:39.840 --> 01:15:50.159
Why you just didn't refute to what he was saying and answer the points versus trying to get people on your side and to create divisiveness based on what you're saying to see if you can win the argument.

01:15:50.319 --> 01:15:51.760
To me, you didn't win anything.

01:15:53.359 --> 01:15:54.159
You did not.

01:15:54.399 --> 01:15:57.840
Like, I want to finish it, but it's like it's just BS already.

01:15:57.920 --> 01:16:00.079
Yeah, but I'm gonna let it play because I gotta get my charger.

01:16:01.119 --> 01:16:15.920
The American Educational Research Association reports that SAT and ACT scores are strongly correlated with race and family income, not just academic ability, and their use in admissions systematically disadvantages black applicants, reducing their likelihood of admission relative to white peers.

01:16:16.239 --> 01:16:30.399
Georgetown University Center on Education in the Workforce found that black students are significantly underrepresented at selective colleges, not because of lack of interest or application, but due to structural barriers and bias admissions pipelines that favor white affluent students.

01:16:30.720 --> 01:16:31.840
Affluent money.

01:16:45.119 --> 01:16:46.960
Y'all got money, y'all get in more.

01:16:47.039 --> 01:16:48.720
But also, what happens when we get there?

01:16:48.960 --> 01:16:52.640
Just realized I've gone through this whole video with one earring on, but we'll talk about that later.

01:16:52.800 --> 01:16:54.079
Anywho, here's a study.

01:16:54.239 --> 01:17:06.880
A randomized experiment with teachers showed that when the only difference in a writing sample was a name thought to be associated with a black student versus a white student, teachers rated the black-labeled work lower on vague grading scales, even though the work was identical.

01:17:07.119 --> 01:17:09.840
This paper is written by Tremea, that's me.

01:17:10.000 --> 01:17:12.800
This paper is written by Reed, that's you.

01:17:13.119 --> 01:17:14.079
Identical.

01:17:14.319 --> 01:17:17.520
Reed is going to statistically get a higher score than me.

01:17:17.680 --> 01:17:19.520
Just because he has a white name.

01:17:19.760 --> 01:17:21.119
The video is getting long.

01:17:21.199 --> 01:17:22.640
I hope you get the point by now.

01:17:22.800 --> 01:17:29.039
I just want to say that black people are never invited to play the game, but now that we're here We don't get the point.

01:17:29.439 --> 01:17:32.479
I wish I could get some of your time into my life, man.

01:17:32.800 --> 01:17:35.039
Because they're stupid, bro.

01:17:35.119 --> 01:17:42.560
It's that's the the pseudo smartness that she went up there and just said a whole bunch of BS that that was amounting nothing.

01:17:42.800 --> 01:17:49.840
Like you did those things and now you have a master's, but that is another reason why people don't take them type of schools seriously.

01:17:50.479 --> 01:18:08.720
And that and that goes back to the conversation of people some people are working so hard for these degrees, like giving it literally everything that that they have just for them to get done and finished and graduate and it'd be looked at like that.

01:18:09.119 --> 01:18:13.680
Because if all you're doing is and like if I just break it down, so you wrote 10 pages a day.

01:18:13.760 --> 01:18:18.560
What do you do all day that you're able to write 10 pages every day to graduate in 36 days?

01:18:21.680 --> 01:18:23.119
Because what if you multiply that?

01:18:23.199 --> 01:18:25.439
What is that 3600 pages?

01:18:28.319 --> 01:18:30.960
Like, I don't know, I don't know.

01:18:31.039 --> 01:18:32.560
Like, you didn't answer nothing.

01:18:32.720 --> 01:18:34.720
Like, uh I'm just mad.

01:18:34.800 --> 01:18:39.840
Like, don't ever try to pull the woe is me thing on on stuff like that.

01:18:40.000 --> 01:18:46.399
If you would have said you got denied to these other places and Capella accepted you, I would totally understand, but that's not what you said.

01:18:46.479 --> 01:18:51.760
You just stated black people, yah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and all this other stuff.

01:18:51.920 --> 01:18:54.640
So I just felt like that was stupid and idiotic.

01:18:55.039 --> 01:18:59.600
Trump dropped a cyber strategy and it is seven pages long.

01:19:00.159 --> 01:19:06.640
So on Friday, the Trump administration released what it's calling President Trump's Cyber Strategy for America.

01:19:06.800 --> 01:19:12.960
And I want to be fair with this one because there are real things in here and there are some real questions too.

01:19:13.199 --> 01:19:14.239
First, the basics.

01:19:14.319 --> 01:19:16.159
It's a seven-page document for context.

01:19:16.319 --> 01:19:21.920
The Biden administration's 2023 cyber cybersecurity strategy was 39 pages.

01:19:22.159 --> 01:19:26.960
Trump's first term cyber strategy in 2018 was 40 pages.

01:19:27.119 --> 01:19:31.840
This one is seven, and roughly half of that is preamble.

01:19:32.000 --> 01:19:38.079
The administration said it was intentionally kept high level with more detailed guidance to follow.

01:19:38.239 --> 01:19:57.680
The strategy lays out six pillars, shaping adversary adversary behavior through offense, promoting common sense regulation, modernizing federal networks, securing critical infrastructure, sustaining minority, excuse me, sustaining, sustaining, superior.

01:20:00.079 --> 01:20:01.279
It's happening to you.

01:20:01.520 --> 01:20:04.560
Say the word sustaining superiority.

01:20:04.800 --> 01:20:06.399
Substaining superiority.

01:20:06.560 --> 01:20:07.439
Yeah, there we go.

01:20:07.680 --> 01:20:10.880
In emerging tech and building the cyber workforce.

01:20:11.199 --> 01:20:15.520
The headline item is the is the offense first posture.

01:20:16.000 --> 01:20:17.680
The strategy says the U.S.

01:20:17.760 --> 01:20:32.960
will not just defend the cyber domain, it will actively disrupt adversaries, dismantle hacker networks, sanction nations that harbor cyber criminals and unveil and embarrass foreign espionage and propaganda campaigns.

01:20:33.199 --> 01:20:39.359
Trump's intro letter says anyone who would seek to harm America will pay the steepest and most terrible price.

01:20:39.520 --> 01:20:44.880
That's a message to China, Russia, and every other nation-state actor running campaigns against U.S.

01:20:45.039 --> 01:20:46.000
infrastructure.

01:20:46.239 --> 01:20:57.520
The strategy also pushes AI-powered cybersecurity tools to defend federal networks, post-quantum cryptography for future proofing, and zero trust architecture across government systems.

01:20:57.680 --> 01:21:02.159
It pushes critical infrastructure protection and says it wants to prioritize U.S.

01:21:02.319 --> 01:21:05.760
made over adversary-made products in the supply chain.

01:21:05.920 --> 01:21:16.079
Trump also signed an executive order the same day directing the DOJ to prosecute cyber-enabled fraud and the State Department to impose sanctions on nations that tolerate cybercrime.

01:21:16.319 --> 01:21:19.039
Now, for the but, and there are a few.

01:21:19.119 --> 01:21:29.039
The strategy acknowledges CISA, the country's top defense, top cyber defense agency, but CISA has lost over a third of its staff under this new administration.

01:21:29.279 --> 01:21:31.760
Its acting director was just reassigned.

01:21:31.920 --> 01:21:34.800
Multiple senior officials have left or been pushed out.

01:21:34.960 --> 01:21:44.720
The top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee called the strategy underachieving and said it's full of vague platitudes with no concrete blueprint.

01:21:44.880 --> 01:21:49.600
And this document dropped the same week the FBI's wiretap system got hacked.

01:21:50.720 --> 01:22:04.319
What I will say about this is that I think that our strategy does need to be a bit longer than seven um pages.

01:22:04.640 --> 01:22:14.159
And I think it needs to be a more a bit more directive and a bit more um specific in the guidance that needs to be followed.

01:22:14.640 --> 01:22:20.319
So I guess the only thing for us to do is just to kind of wait to see what comes out of it.

01:22:20.640 --> 01:22:25.199
Um, which we typically that's what that's what we're doing here these days.

01:22:25.520 --> 01:22:32.079
But I just thought it was interesting to give you a little bit of perspective on what is actually in the document.

01:22:32.880 --> 01:22:33.520
Yeah.

01:22:33.920 --> 01:22:41.840
I think the biggest one um that they're having issues with is SISA.

01:22:43.520 --> 01:22:50.000
Having the issues with SISA and um pretty much their short staff, and they've been ever since the government cuts and all that kind of stuff.

01:22:50.159 --> 01:22:55.039
Like that's like the real big one that people really should be fixating on.

01:22:55.199 --> 01:22:55.520
Yeah.

01:22:55.680 --> 01:23:02.880
So combine that, and then you got the FBI stuff, everything's pissed poor.

01:23:03.119 --> 01:23:03.840
Everything is pissed.

01:23:03.920 --> 01:23:04.399
No, for real.

01:23:05.199 --> 01:23:05.760
For real, for real.

01:23:06.000 --> 01:23:17.119
And it upsets me because it's like in the private, like it, there's no way possible that it should be harder to get jobs in the private sector than it is in the public.

01:23:17.359 --> 01:23:19.920
And then the public now is like a mess.

01:23:20.079 --> 01:23:22.560
They're behind, they know what they're doing.

01:23:23.600 --> 01:23:24.720
It's a mess, bro.

01:23:24.880 --> 01:23:28.479
Ransomware is front door, remote access tools.

01:23:29.199 --> 01:23:42.399
A new 2026 report from CIO Dive and Cybersecurity Insurance firms confirm that remote access tools, VPNs, and RDP are now the primary entry point for ransomware, accounting for three or five attacks.

01:23:43.119 --> 01:23:47.039
The credential walk-in, hackers aren't breaking in with complex exploits anymore.

01:23:47.119 --> 01:23:49.600
They're buying stolen credentials and walking in the front door.

01:23:49.760 --> 01:23:52.399
You know, some that's something that we didn't really talk about a lot.

01:23:52.640 --> 01:24:00.960
Where people are thinking about fortifying so much things like, hey, you need to be looking at the dark web and see if any of y'all employees' credentials are out there.

01:24:03.199 --> 01:24:04.000
VPN risk.

01:24:04.239 --> 01:24:15.760
Organizations using self-managed VPNs like older Cisco or Cystrix setups were 11 times more likely to be hit by ransomware than those using modern zero trust cloud access.

01:24:16.319 --> 01:24:25.279
In 2025 and 2026, attackers shifted focus from RDP to targeting vulnerabilities and network devices like Avanti and Fortinet bugs we've seen.

01:24:25.439 --> 01:24:29.920
If you're an IT manager or sysadmin, your number one priority is killing the password.

01:24:30.079 --> 01:24:39.439
If your remote access doesn't require hardware-based MFA like a UB key, you are effectively leaving your door front, I mean you're effectively leaving your front door unlocked in a bad neighborhood.

01:24:39.760 --> 01:24:41.199
What do you mean by that?

01:24:41.840 --> 01:24:46.399
Um but yeah, I think that uh a lot of organizations are going to password list for sure.

01:24:46.640 --> 01:24:48.159
Um let's get there.

01:24:48.319 --> 01:24:49.039
It's helping out.

01:24:49.199 --> 01:24:49.920
Let's get there quickly.

01:24:50.079 --> 01:24:54.000
But the thing is, once you go to password list, people start forgetting their passwords.

01:24:54.159 --> 01:24:56.479
So you got that going on as well, too.

01:24:57.760 --> 01:24:59.359
Third, let's see.

01:24:59.520 --> 01:25:00.239
Let's go back to that.

01:25:00.479 --> 01:25:01.520
Wait, there's no password.

01:25:01.680 --> 01:25:02.479
You mean they pen?

01:25:03.600 --> 01:25:18.800
So typically normal infrastructure now for some people, if they don't use Microsoft for like their all the suites of things, you might have like AD here, Okta here, and then like whatever you want to be your passwordless identity solution, that'll be in there.

01:25:18.960 --> 01:25:24.800
So now you'll have to log on like normal, and then you have to log on to the passwordless system.

01:25:24.960 --> 01:25:35.359
But now, if they have everything set up correctly, then you really will only have to type in your password once while you're on your computer, and it'll connect also, it'll help you connect to your VPN.

01:25:35.439 --> 01:25:39.760
So it'll say, Hey, do you have this passwordless uh system on your phone?

01:25:40.000 --> 01:25:42.479
Do you have it on your uh machine?

01:25:42.640 --> 01:25:45.359
It's just another way to verify you are who you say you are.

01:25:45.600 --> 01:26:03.840
So that's technically the one password that you have to remember, but it still makes it tough because you got that, and then you've got like still got your password managers and all the different things, but it does make it a little bit easier for people not to, if they do get into your environment, that's another layer of conditional access.

01:26:04.000 --> 01:26:07.680
So if they don't have this, this, and this, they can't access nothing from externally.

01:26:07.760 --> 01:26:18.000
So they'll be out of look, so where they have to rely on getting some RDP or something like that on the host or in a network in order to gain access.

01:26:18.239 --> 01:26:18.880
Yeah.

01:26:19.680 --> 01:26:50.880
So I think that people need to just be careful, and I think that companies a lot of companies feel like, oh, we have all these requirements that we have to obide by, and passwordless authentication isn't there yet, in terms of whatever their um audits and you know stuff is in this is like real life, but there's so much power just taking them passwords away from them users, just take them away.

01:26:51.199 --> 01:27:01.680
Yeah, especially like they should so, and then it's the simple solution is hey, if you don't have passwordless, then make all these passwords connect to your SSO.

01:27:01.760 --> 01:27:03.680
So now you got one password for everything.

01:27:03.760 --> 01:27:05.520
So now all them passwords expire.

01:27:05.600 --> 01:27:10.000
Once your password for your SSO expires, that makes it easier.

01:27:10.159 --> 01:27:14.159
A lot of times that you got all five, seven, ten different passwords.

01:27:14.239 --> 01:27:15.760
And but now, granted, this is different.

01:27:15.840 --> 01:27:17.199
We're not talking about anything's privilege.

01:27:17.520 --> 01:27:22.720
If you got privilege accounts, they used to have separate passwords, and of course, they got separate parameters on the privilege accounts.

01:27:22.800 --> 01:27:25.039
There's certain things that you shouldn't be able to do with the privilege account.

01:27:25.520 --> 01:27:32.319
But for the most part, that's how you should kind of have your environment for identity access management, at least like a easy part.

01:27:32.479 --> 01:27:39.359
Now, if we get into the the um what is it called?

01:27:39.600 --> 01:27:42.159
When you put something in the middle, centralized.

01:27:42.239 --> 01:27:42.640
There we go.

01:27:42.720 --> 01:27:43.600
I couldn't think, man.

01:27:43.840 --> 01:27:45.920
I thought you was holding up aluminum.

01:27:47.119 --> 01:27:50.239
Nah, you gotta when you centralize it, what is that?

01:27:50.479 --> 01:27:55.199
Centralized, and then you automating uh your I didn't access management um policy.

01:27:55.359 --> 01:27:59.840
I think it gets a little bit uh different on what you want to do with automating those things.

01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:01.279
And all the different stuff.

01:28:01.359 --> 01:28:04.159
But for the most part, I think that's still always going to be the biggest thing.

01:28:04.399 --> 01:28:06.960
So takeaways is stolen credentials.

01:28:07.119 --> 01:28:14.960
If you know you got hacked, or having uh your threat and tell team scout a dark web or use up different services that say, hey, your credentials were found.

01:28:15.279 --> 01:28:17.119
Please reset them.

01:28:17.279 --> 01:28:22.159
Also, don't make your password at work be similar to your past your personal password.

01:28:22.319 --> 01:28:26.239
So if your personal stuff was hit, somebody say, Hmm, let me see what they work at.

01:28:26.319 --> 01:28:27.920
Let me see if this password works.

01:28:28.159 --> 01:28:29.680
They should be different passwords.

01:28:29.840 --> 01:28:33.039
You see, people do that a lot, reusing the same passwords for both things.

01:28:33.279 --> 01:28:37.600
Uh, so doing that, better VPN solutions, upgrade your VPN.

01:28:37.680 --> 01:28:43.119
Do not use any out-of-date VPNs because it's gonna cost you because they're just old.

01:28:43.199 --> 01:28:50.800
You just gotta update with the times and security awareness, better detections, conditional access policies in case you do get popped.

01:28:50.960 --> 01:28:52.880
And you should be all right, just make sure.

01:28:52.960 --> 01:28:58.560
Like the key term for this segment is robust, robust network infrastructure.

01:28:58.640 --> 01:29:00.720
That's what you need right there to be safe.

01:29:01.039 --> 01:29:03.840
Today is actually International Women's Day.

01:29:03.920 --> 01:29:08.560
So I have a cute article for all of the gals that are tuning in.

01:29:08.800 --> 01:29:10.000
Shout out to y'all.

01:29:10.159 --> 01:29:14.880
Um, women are leaving tech in Europe, and AI is about to make it worse.

01:29:15.199 --> 01:29:24.720
So, in light of today being International Swimming Day, I saved this story for last because it deserves to be heard and it deserves our attention.

01:29:24.880 --> 01:29:44.800
So, a brand new report for from McKinney McKenzie analyzing 4 million LinkedIn profiles across the EU combined with OECD data and workforce analytics from AI hiring platform Findem, dropped this week with a message that should alarm every tech company and policymaker in Europe.

01:29:44.960 --> 01:29:47.760
Women are disappearing from tech and it's getting worse.

01:29:47.920 --> 01:29:52.720
In 2025, women made up just 19% of core tech workers in Europe.

01:29:52.880 --> 01:29:58.000
That's already low, but it's also down three percentage points from the year before.

01:29:58.159 --> 01:30:12.399
In an industry where the talent gap is already projected to reach between 1.5 and 3.9 million people by 2027, losing ground on women in tech isn't just an equity issue, it's an economic crisis.

01:30:12.640 --> 01:30:14.960
Here's where the pipeline breaks.

01:30:15.199 --> 01:30:21.359
Girls actually slighter outperform boys in STEM subjects in primary and secondary school.

01:30:21.600 --> 01:30:27.600
They're doing the work, but only 32% of female students choose a tech-related bachelor's degree.

01:30:27.760 --> 01:30:31.760
And then from that group, only 19% end up in actual tech roles.

01:30:31.920 --> 01:30:33.840
The funnel is leaking at every stage.

01:30:34.000 --> 01:30:35.760
Career progression is even worse.

01:30:35.920 --> 01:30:43.279
Women participating, women's participation drops up to 18 percentage points before reaching management role.

01:30:43.439 --> 01:30:48.319
The result, women hold just 13% of management positions in Europe tech companies.

01:30:48.479 --> 01:30:54.479
So you're fighting to get in, you're fighting to move up, and most of that is a losing fight.

01:30:54.720 --> 01:30:57.279
Now we have AI entering the picture.

01:30:57.520 --> 01:30:59.520
And this is the big moment.

01:30:59.680 --> 01:31:06.880
AI is eliminating a lot of entry-level tech roles, which are often the on-ramp that women use to break into the industry.

01:31:07.039 --> 01:31:15.920
But it's also creating massive demand for mid-level and senior roles that combine technical depth with strategic judgment, ethical oversight, and governance skills.

01:31:16.079 --> 01:31:19.359
The McKinsey report actually calls this an opportunity.

01:31:19.439 --> 01:31:31.039
If companies deliberately invest in reskilling mid-career women into AI adjacent roles, the talent gap could be solved and gender representation could improve at the same time.

01:31:31.199 --> 01:31:32.640
But that's not happening on its own.

01:31:32.720 --> 01:31:40.800
And the rollback of DEI programs in the US and increasingly in Europe is making it less likely without policy intervention.

01:31:41.039 --> 01:31:46.640
So, what I want to say on this nice, lovely International Women's Day is that this data is big.

01:31:46.880 --> 01:31:49.439
Girls are outperforming in school.

01:31:49.600 --> 01:31:51.119
Women are getting PhDs.

01:31:51.199 --> 01:31:56.159
The problem is not the pipeline, the problem is the doors that close after the pipeline.

01:31:56.239 --> 01:31:59.119
We have culture bias in advancement.

01:31:59.279 --> 01:32:02.000
We have a lack of mentorship at senior levels.

01:32:02.159 --> 01:32:07.359
We have caregiving burdens with no support structure, which are really the leaks.

01:32:07.439 --> 01:32:11.920
And then, of course, we talked a little bit about AI, which was supposed to be this great equalizer.

01:32:12.000 --> 01:32:15.920
Um, but it might actually widen that gap that we're kind of talking about here.

01:32:16.239 --> 01:32:19.600
Um, but that's that.

01:32:19.840 --> 01:32:33.520
Yeah, um, I definitely I'm mad I can't find the other article I had because it was one of tie in to the stuff about black people, women, leadership, and all the other stuff.

01:32:33.600 --> 01:32:40.239
And you know how I see a lot of times women leave leadership just because it's uh ongoing fight, they ran in battle.

01:32:40.399 --> 01:32:44.239
I know you feel like it's because of mental burnout, yeah.

01:32:44.399 --> 01:32:47.279
Cause you have people that do not just want to serve on the black women.

01:32:47.439 --> 01:32:48.239
I've I've seen it.

01:32:48.560 --> 01:32:49.760
I've literally seen it.

01:32:50.720 --> 01:32:51.840
Seen it happen.

01:32:52.319 --> 01:32:54.640
And vice versa, for a black man.

01:32:54.720 --> 01:32:55.840
You'll you'll see it happen.

01:32:55.920 --> 01:32:58.000
Uh, to where, like I said, it's it's not a lot.

01:32:58.159 --> 01:32:59.279
Like, think about it.

01:32:59.680 --> 01:33:06.319
Sarah Bund just stepped down from uh what the president or was she the president or CEO of Xbox Live?

01:33:07.520 --> 01:33:09.119
Yeah, I mean she just stepped down.

01:33:09.520 --> 01:33:11.520
We're not gonna see like another black woman take her spot.

01:33:11.680 --> 01:33:21.680
Granted, I want people also to know, like, hey, the black people that always get put in leadership positions, I'm gonna say most of the time because there could be somebody come nitpick me or whatever.

01:33:23.600 --> 01:33:26.560
They mostly are overqualified for what they're supposed to be doing.

01:33:27.600 --> 01:33:30.319
And they had to work extremely hard to get there.

01:33:30.560 --> 01:33:43.840
Now, I think also if I go back to the point about women disappearing, I know over the last six years, I met like a lot of different women that are making a lot of money, and whether it's in cybersecurity, tech, or other avenues.

01:33:44.000 --> 01:33:50.960
And a lot of them really realize after the grinds, like a lot of them say I just want to be married, have kids, and have somebody to take care of me.

01:33:51.119 --> 01:33:58.720
Uh, because of I think innately, if everybody could just follow their passions, they probably wouldn't be doing what they want to do, or doing what they currently do to make money.

01:33:58.800 --> 01:34:00.560
And I think that's one of those things as well, too.

01:34:00.720 --> 01:34:11.039
Whereas I know I think I said a show where it's like, you know, the I think the girls are outperforming the boys, and which I think is true because I think women are a little bit more detail-oriented than men, just by and large.

01:34:11.279 --> 01:34:13.359
Like, yeah, fixate on everything.

01:34:13.680 --> 01:34:14.399
Not too much.

01:34:14.479 --> 01:34:15.760
It's International Women's Day.

01:34:16.000 --> 01:34:18.319
Yeah, I do, but that's what makes y'all good in cyber.

01:34:18.800 --> 01:34:23.840
That's why I be that's why I always try to get women on our team because they are detail-oriented.

01:34:24.159 --> 01:34:31.760
Um, whereas you know, the male, probably a little bit more uh big picture, more they may get tired of sitting down and learning.

01:34:31.840 --> 01:34:35.680
Like it's just different learning styles, I would say, too, when it comes to that as well.

01:34:36.159 --> 01:34:44.880
Question if money wasn't an issue, what would you spend your time doing for a living?

01:34:45.119 --> 01:34:47.840
I actually would spend my time doing this if money wasn't an issue.

01:34:48.239 --> 01:34:49.920
Full time, yeah, period.

01:34:50.239 --> 01:34:53.439
I I think I would spend my time doing this on top of other stuff.

01:34:53.680 --> 01:34:57.439
Um just because I think I would.

01:34:57.600 --> 01:35:04.880
I think, but I actually in a perfect world, I would do this, but also I probably have my own company where I do like the same stuff you're doing, yeah.

01:35:05.279 --> 01:35:08.640
Like I love um like the cool stuff.

01:35:08.800 --> 01:35:13.840
Like sometimes I hate that I like watching TV because TV be making I love TV so bad.

01:35:14.000 --> 01:35:17.920
TV be making you want to go be either um a lawyer or low-key.

01:35:18.079 --> 01:35:20.399
I low-key want to work for a law office.

01:35:20.800 --> 01:35:22.239
You know, dope.

01:35:22.560 --> 01:35:25.279
It's uh and they actually have people that that work there.

01:35:25.359 --> 01:35:28.079
Yeah, they're thinking about it from a forensic perspective.

01:35:28.239 --> 01:35:29.439
They might need somebody on board.

01:35:30.159 --> 01:35:32.399
They got one, um, they got some roles in Dallas for that.

01:35:32.560 --> 01:35:33.359
Uh it's a guy.

01:35:33.600 --> 01:35:34.720
I'm not opposed to that either.

01:35:34.880 --> 01:35:40.800
One of my old clients actually was like a cis admin at a law firm, and now he's a security engineer for another company.

01:35:40.960 --> 01:35:45.600
But no, because I'm very intrigued at the different cases that come in.

01:35:46.479 --> 01:35:49.279
Like I would love to go work in um what's it?

01:35:49.359 --> 01:35:50.000
What was it cost?

01:35:50.319 --> 01:35:53.279
Uh uh, what was Jessica's last name on suits?

01:35:53.600 --> 01:35:54.880
I don't know, I didn't watch it.

01:35:55.039 --> 01:35:55.279
Really?

01:35:55.520 --> 01:35:56.159
No, thank you.

01:35:56.319 --> 01:36:01.520
Well, anyways, uh Harvey Spector Lit, and I forgot what her last name was.

01:36:01.680 --> 01:36:02.560
You work with Jax.

01:36:03.439 --> 01:36:05.439
Oh no, you work with Jax.

01:36:06.159 --> 01:36:08.000
Jax try to come in there a little too cute.

01:36:08.079 --> 01:36:09.439
We need to be about business.

01:36:09.680 --> 01:36:11.279
You can be cute and be about business.

01:36:11.520 --> 01:36:12.159
That's not what I mean.

01:36:12.319 --> 01:36:13.600
And you know, okay.

01:36:13.840 --> 01:36:14.640
Think about it.

01:36:14.800 --> 01:36:17.039
Lewis do work with the computers and stuff too.

01:36:17.279 --> 01:36:19.199
He does, but he a game developer.

01:36:19.359 --> 01:36:22.720
But but he was getting finessed by that dude.

01:36:23.039 --> 01:36:23.680
Yeah, for real.

01:36:23.760 --> 01:36:25.359
But he would have been out the door quick.

01:36:25.520 --> 01:36:30.960
But and but I'm just I'm just saying, you know, like it's some people that's coming to work, and there's some people that's trying to be seen being cute at work.

01:36:31.039 --> 01:36:31.439
That's what I mean.

01:36:31.600 --> 01:36:36.000
Jax be trying to be seen, especially let uh what's your boy's name?

01:36:36.079 --> 01:36:38.000
The ball head, let Morris Chestnut come in the room.

01:36:38.079 --> 01:36:39.680
You know, she's trying to be seen.

01:36:40.319 --> 01:36:44.640
So, whereas now Lincoln Lawyer, he be he be getting his stuff too.

01:36:44.720 --> 01:36:48.319
But this last season was pretty interesting, but definitely um that.

01:36:48.479 --> 01:36:53.760
And uh speaking of that, while we are at a little bit of a segue, like are you caught up on cross yet?

01:36:54.079 --> 01:36:55.600
No, what about paradise?

01:36:55.760 --> 01:36:56.800
I ain't even started.

01:36:57.439 --> 01:36:58.479
I know, I know.

01:36:58.560 --> 01:37:01.760
I've just been like, I haven't give her give her some tomatoes, chat.

01:37:01.840 --> 01:37:03.439
If y'all still hear with us, give us some tomatoes.

01:37:03.680 --> 01:37:11.920
I haven't been able to like even sit down and watch anything, but yeah, I'm it's on my which one first, Paradise or Cross?

01:37:12.239 --> 01:37:13.439
Two different shows.

01:37:13.680 --> 01:37:28.079
Like Paradise is more in the veins of like the show I was thinking about Copenhagen and Night Agent, whereas Cross is more suspensive, different, more suspensed detective, yeah, type.

01:37:28.159 --> 01:37:29.039
So that they're two different.

01:37:29.119 --> 01:37:30.239
I can't really compare the two.

01:37:30.479 --> 01:37:32.640
Did you did you like uh Lupin?

01:37:33.600 --> 01:37:34.880
I watched it, it was cool.

01:37:35.039 --> 01:37:37.359
The first one, the first season was with the French dude.

01:37:37.600 --> 01:37:39.199
Yeah, I had to go back and really watch it.

01:37:39.359 --> 01:37:47.279
Um, if I go back and watch it, I'll see if I really like the great um social engineer.

01:37:48.000 --> 01:37:51.520
He like physical, he would be he'd be great.

01:37:51.760 --> 01:38:00.239
I think um let me see, and then I just went back and watched Top Boy Summer House, so that's before the season that came back.

01:38:00.479 --> 01:38:02.079
How's Game of Thrones?

01:38:02.560 --> 01:38:03.439
I fell off.

01:38:03.600 --> 01:38:06.159
I've been watching it, so like you said you were on season two.

01:38:06.800 --> 01:38:13.840
Yeah, I'm on season two with him on three because I've been re-watching her because she's been watching it, like, but I just fell off of watching it because I've been busy as well.

01:38:13.920 --> 01:38:20.079
Yeah, it's just one of the things where it's one of them shows you really gotta be hyper-fixated and watching and you have to like pay attention.

01:38:20.159 --> 01:38:22.239
Right, you look down, you done missed way.

01:38:22.720 --> 01:38:25.840
So I can't really I can't really watch it if I want to because I'm too busy in my life now.

01:38:26.079 --> 01:38:32.720
And just like you said, the stuff I've been watching, I don't need to watch, like I can it can just be on and I can hear it and catch it, yeah.

01:38:32.960 --> 01:38:37.520
Yeah, but this show it's I mean I could, but I could I just doing uh too much when it comes to this.

01:38:37.920 --> 01:38:38.880
Is she watching the new one?

01:38:39.039 --> 01:38:39.760
It's not the new one.

01:38:40.000 --> 01:38:44.159
No, yeah, she's just re-watching it's not a new one, but it's like a new spinoff.

01:38:44.319 --> 01:38:45.920
No, she's just re-watching GLT.

01:38:46.159 --> 01:38:54.399
But speaking of something that you said in that article was about mentorship.

01:38:55.119 --> 01:38:59.039
I had an excellent video about mentorship.

01:38:59.680 --> 01:39:00.640
Hop it on there.

01:39:00.960 --> 01:39:02.000
Well, let's see.

01:39:03.359 --> 01:39:04.399
Here you go, right here.

01:39:04.560 --> 01:39:12.960
I think this is something that everyone needs to watch rather than your Gen X, Gen Z, whatever, because there are people that make a career changes late in life, and they need to watch this.

01:39:13.279 --> 01:39:17.520
Now, there are times when your manager can be your mentor, but most of the times they aren't.

01:39:27.680 --> 01:39:32.880
There are certain situations where your manager can be your mentor, and I've been fortunate enough to witness that myself.

01:39:33.119 --> 01:39:40.720
But what you guys need to realize is stop expecting your manager to map out your future because they're not there for that.

01:39:40.800 --> 01:39:47.039
Don't forget they have a manager's if your growth does not improve their numbers, then you're just simply not a priority.

01:39:47.359 --> 01:39:50.720
I think a lot of you guys need to realize that, especially if you're working in a corporate environment.

01:39:50.880 --> 01:39:53.840
The people who accelerate the most build sponsors, not just managers.

01:39:53.920 --> 01:39:58.880
They find people with influence, they try and sit in those rooms with people with influence, and that's how they build their career.

01:39:59.039 --> 01:40:06.000
Not through trying to be a mentee to their manager, because I can guarantee you one thing a lot of these managers do not give a flying.

01:40:06.479 --> 01:40:12.079
Anyways, guys, follow me for more insight on just um yeah, surviving life.

01:40:12.560 --> 01:40:13.760
I think he ate down.

01:40:13.920 --> 01:40:28.560
I think he ate down, especially with the um a lot, especially if you're in tech, if you're in big tech, a lot of these companies have this high performance, you know, culture.

01:40:28.800 --> 01:40:34.479
And just like he said, if you're not moving the needle significantly, it you can move the needle, right?

01:40:34.560 --> 01:40:36.399
And it can just be by the bare minimum.

01:40:36.479 --> 01:40:39.920
But if you're not moving it significantly, you're not at the top of their list.

01:40:40.079 --> 01:40:46.479
And also your manager can, I kind of don't all the way agree with him.

01:40:46.560 --> 01:40:54.000
So your manager, I feel like a good manager should be able to help you if you don't know, but I do think you still should come forth with something.

01:40:54.159 --> 01:40:55.760
Like if you were my manager, right?

01:40:55.840 --> 01:40:59.520
And I'm like, okay, well, I'm considering doing this and this next.

01:41:00.000 --> 01:41:07.920
You maybe can introduce me to some people who do A B, A, or B, and I can decide based on those conversations and interactions if I'm into it.

01:41:08.079 --> 01:41:14.479
However, what I can do to come is come to you and say, I have no idea, and then expect you to help me figure something out.

01:41:14.640 --> 01:41:20.560
You you have to come with something already pre-packaged in order for them to make it better, you know.

01:41:20.720 --> 01:41:20.960
Right.

01:41:21.119 --> 01:41:25.680
If they're if they're a good manager, because everybody doesn't have one for sure.

01:41:25.920 --> 01:41:30.319
Yeah, so what I would say is um this I've been doing this all day.

01:41:30.479 --> 01:41:31.199
Visibility.

01:41:31.359 --> 01:41:32.399
That's what that's a big one.

01:41:32.479 --> 01:41:34.720
So visibility, I guess giving reading rainbow.

01:41:34.960 --> 01:41:36.239
Hey, they need it sometimes.

01:41:36.319 --> 01:41:37.760
You gotta put it right in their face.

01:41:38.000 --> 01:41:39.920
I did a LinkedIn learning course about this.

01:41:40.000 --> 01:41:51.439
One of the first things I learned when I got to Goldman Sachs was that my manager put me to the side, say, yo, if you stay here, the way you do, send me the resentment, give visibility, sponsors, all these people will decide when you get promoted and all this other stuff.

01:41:51.680 --> 01:41:53.920
That's one part of it of how to promote your career.

01:41:54.079 --> 01:41:56.560
Second thing is you need to know what your end goal looks like.

01:41:56.640 --> 01:42:04.880
Like you said, you're gonna have to present something to them because most companies do not have a roadmap on the hey, if you start here, you can do this, you can do this, you do this, do this.

01:42:05.039 --> 01:42:06.720
You're not really gonna find a lot of places.

01:42:06.800 --> 01:42:10.720
You got to figure out what you want to do, or you'll be the trailblazer to build that out.

01:42:10.800 --> 01:42:23.119
Now, granted, at a lot of companies, you'll find out that sometimes roles don't even come open frequently on like the team you work on, and so you may have to go somewhere else in the org, which is not unheard of.

01:42:24.079 --> 01:42:31.760
Third, some companies do have the thing where you can find like a mentor, like a thing where you can get paired up with a mentor.

01:42:32.159 --> 01:42:42.720
You can do that, or what I did sometimes is I just go find these people, search them on like wherever they work, or who's like let's say it's a job I want to do, and I see who's reporting to, and I can find them.

01:42:42.960 --> 01:42:43.840
Hmm, this person be cool.

01:42:43.920 --> 01:42:49.439
So now you can go through that the way and introduce yourself, a person that you don't ever interact with, and now they know your name.

01:42:49.520 --> 01:42:58.720
You can start coming up in some places, but like, hey, that guy from such and such team, he may not be what we need right now, but I think they got a good foundational skill set to work with us, you know, in the future.

01:42:58.960 --> 01:43:04.159
That's kind of how you start getting on the radar, but you have to be the person to put yourself out there.

01:43:04.319 --> 01:43:05.520
That's the initiative.

01:43:05.600 --> 01:43:06.079
There we go.

01:43:06.159 --> 01:43:12.239
Say we time it in the initiative that you need when it comes to being in corporate America.

01:43:12.560 --> 01:43:14.399
You definitely have to have the initiative.

01:43:14.560 --> 01:43:19.600
The most successful people just they just get it and they they got it and it's understood.

01:43:19.840 --> 01:43:22.640
I kind of want to piggyback off what you said.

01:43:24.880 --> 01:43:29.840
Sometimes people, the people who are watching this video might feel like, but that's still not enough.

01:43:30.000 --> 01:43:32.319
Like, what do I say?

01:43:32.560 --> 01:43:40.960
Some things that you can say if you don't quite know what you want to do is maybe ask your manager, what do folks typically do after this role?

01:43:41.119 --> 01:43:43.760
Or what do folks typically do before this role?

01:43:43.920 --> 01:43:58.159
And then you can have some conversations with people who are in that role or were in that role and they've switched to a different um, you know, job title or different area within the business, but you got to come with something for real.

01:43:58.319 --> 01:43:59.119
You got to.

01:43:59.279 --> 01:44:00.560
You got to come with something.

01:44:00.640 --> 01:44:06.159
And if you don't, you'll never talk about it in the you'll never talk about your career growth and progression in that one-on-one.

01:44:06.479 --> 01:44:07.840
It'll just be those check-ins.

01:44:08.159 --> 01:44:14.560
This is what I've been doing, this is what I've been doing, this is what I've been doing, instead of this is what I've been doing, and this is what I'm trying to do.

01:44:14.880 --> 01:44:15.119
Right.

01:44:15.199 --> 01:44:23.680
So the easiest way, too, sometimes is you find the smartest person on your team, go start their LinkedIn, see what the how they got there, and open up to them.

01:44:23.840 --> 01:44:29.520
And if you start showing yourself worthy, you can build an unofficial mentee mentor relationship that way.

01:44:30.000 --> 01:44:39.760
Then now it's another way where you start coming up and opening doors and getting tasks for doing certain projects because you've aligned yourself with the right people who are already making the impact.

01:44:39.840 --> 01:44:42.800
And that makes it an easier way for you to get a role.

01:44:42.880 --> 01:44:47.680
Where we always talk about how you're interviewing for roles and they already knew who they want internally, just have to post a job.

01:44:47.920 --> 01:44:50.960
That's how you put yourself in a position to get those type of roles.

01:44:53.119 --> 01:44:54.479
So that's how you do that.

01:44:54.720 --> 01:44:59.199
Um let's see what else did we have?

01:44:59.359 --> 01:45:03.359
Oh, we got the special one for you being a rich woman.

01:45:06.079 --> 01:45:06.479
Hang on.

01:45:06.800 --> 01:45:09.359
Here's how this is so guys to preface this.

01:45:10.000 --> 01:45:13.119
This is a video for the women who get called big money.

01:45:13.359 --> 01:45:26.880
One of the things I want to tell young women is that this I'm just a girl, oh, I didn't know the innocence thing, that's fine and cute and dandy, but once you make over a certain amount of money, that's not going to fly.

01:45:28.079 --> 01:45:28.800
People don't care.

01:45:28.960 --> 01:45:30.560
Oh, I'm the personality higher.

01:45:36.239 --> 01:45:37.199
That's not working.

01:45:37.359 --> 01:45:37.680
Okay.

01:45:38.159 --> 01:45:42.560
Over a certain amount of money, people are not playing those Ranger games with you.

01:45:43.680 --> 01:45:46.960
The expectations are much higher, the stakes are much higher.

01:45:47.119 --> 01:45:53.760
Um, and that is because that company is paying you well over$10,000,$20,000 a month before taxes.

01:45:54.399 --> 01:45:56.319
That has to clear their account.

01:45:57.119 --> 01:45:58.960
The jokes are no longer funny.

01:45:59.600 --> 01:46:04.720
The the the the BQ, the this, that, the thing is no longer, it's no longer a thing.

01:46:04.960 --> 01:46:08.159
Those men are gonna go, they're gonna treat you like a man in that room.

01:46:08.319 --> 01:46:09.520
I promise you.

01:46:09.840 --> 01:46:10.960
I gotta pause it right there.

01:46:11.039 --> 01:46:17.199
What do you what do you agree with her take right there, saying they're gonna treat you like a man in this room?

01:46:17.920 --> 01:46:19.840
On only the the A-holes.

01:46:20.399 --> 01:46:21.680
But what does that even mean, though?

01:46:21.840 --> 01:46:22.399
Treat you like a man?

01:46:22.640 --> 01:46:23.840
Like, what does that what does that mean?

01:46:24.640 --> 01:46:26.640
I don't like the way it sounds, so I don't agree.

01:46:26.880 --> 01:46:29.920
Yeah, because I mean, like, I've never been gonna yell at you.

01:46:30.239 --> 01:46:31.600
I've never been treated like a man.

01:46:31.840 --> 01:46:37.840
Now, if you say they're going to want deliverables or something out of you, yeah, but I don't think that's being treated like a man.

01:46:37.920 --> 01:46:41.439
I think they're just gonna treat you like a functioning employee that's supposed to do their job.

01:46:41.600 --> 01:46:43.119
Yeah, that's what I think right there.

01:46:43.199 --> 01:46:47.520
So I sometimes when we're talking, we go a little bit further.

01:46:47.680 --> 01:46:50.399
Yeah, I mean, sometimes you gotta get extreme, but let's see.

01:46:50.800 --> 01:46:56.479
I promise you, it's it's gonna be they're gonna do everything but curse you out.

01:46:56.800 --> 01:46:59.359
Because, you know, you're a woman, so they're not gonna curse at you.

01:46:59.520 --> 01:47:04.720
They're gonna curse this motherboy, but they're not gonna curse at you, but they're gonna trust me, you're a man in that room.

01:47:05.039 --> 01:47:10.960
So you want a soft life because you want to make a lot of money, those two things do not go together.

01:47:11.359 --> 01:47:17.600
Um, your job is gonna be hard, and you're gonna have to develop thick skin.

01:47:17.840 --> 01:47:20.880
And but girl, that check.

01:47:21.039 --> 01:47:21.840
You know what I'm saying?

01:47:21.920 --> 01:47:23.840
The check is well worth it, if you ask me.

01:47:24.079 --> 01:47:31.920
But just know that being a girl, being cute, oh, I didn't know, I didn't realize none of that, none of it flies over a certain amount of money.

01:47:32.079 --> 01:47:35.439
Over about over 120, 125, none of that's flying.

01:47:35.680 --> 01:47:38.720
None of it's flying, none of it's flying.

01:47:40.319 --> 01:47:42.159
Why wasn't it done?

01:47:42.560 --> 01:47:50.960
Oh we playing, like we be, we we playin', like we we playing in here, yeah.

01:47:51.119 --> 01:47:52.720
It it gets like that.

01:47:55.279 --> 01:47:57.119
But I don't think that's being treated like a man.

01:47:57.279 --> 01:47:58.399
I was gonna say the same thing.

01:47:58.560 --> 01:48:11.680
I think that what she's trying to say is that they are going to have the expectation that you're gonna hit the ground running and that you're just like whatever you said, the verbiage you used, um, you being a functioning employee, that is the expectation.

01:48:12.000 --> 01:48:18.000
Um, the whole I didn't know I'm just a girl thing, it's not gonna, you're not gonna last long there.

01:48:18.079 --> 01:48:23.680
And you're going to be that's gonna be more telling of your lack of capabilities, your lack of critical thinking.

01:48:23.840 --> 01:48:32.960
You can still be a girl, you can still be confused, but how are you going to work through andor process that confusion in order to be successful at whatever job it is you're trying to do?

01:48:34.560 --> 01:48:41.520
I'd also say she's combating all of the pandemic TikTok content.

01:48:41.760 --> 01:48:42.880
Soft life girly.

01:48:43.119 --> 01:48:47.279
I'm getting my maca, I'm going to walk right here, I'm going shopping on my lunch break.

01:48:47.359 --> 01:48:48.640
This is what I did today.

01:48:48.800 --> 01:48:50.079
Here's the outfit of the day.

01:48:50.239 --> 01:48:53.840
But I don't like that women can't be seen in the light to do both.

01:48:54.079 --> 01:49:00.079
Well, I'm not saying you're saying that, but I'm just saying, but we know for a fact a lot of them wasn't doing no work.

01:49:00.479 --> 01:49:05.760
We do, we talked about it, and a lot of them ain't posting that content no more either.

01:49:05.920 --> 01:49:06.640
That's the whole point.

01:49:06.800 --> 01:49:08.640
So she's combating them.

01:49:08.800 --> 01:49:10.159
That I think that's the whole big thing.

01:49:10.239 --> 01:49:18.319
Like, she's combating I wish we could have seen what what caused her to make the video, like if she re it was reacting to something that she saw or something.

01:49:18.720 --> 01:49:26.079
I honestly just think it's the same thing we've been reporting the last couple of weeks about people not realizing, hey, you getting paid over a hundred thousand dollars.

01:49:26.159 --> 01:49:28.000
You day one, you gotta hit the ground running.

01:49:28.159 --> 01:49:30.960
You you what what what's not clicking?

01:49:31.119 --> 01:49:32.000
What do you think you're doing?

01:49:32.079 --> 01:49:32.960
But you got to think about it.

01:49:33.039 --> 01:49:35.680
In the pandemic, people was getting paid six figures to do nothing.

01:49:35.840 --> 01:49:36.319
They were.

01:49:36.479 --> 01:49:41.600
I we've covered it for years, and and and then that was what they were going around telling people, bro.

01:49:41.680 --> 01:49:43.680
I get bro, I don't do nothing all day.

01:49:43.840 --> 01:49:44.239
Exactly.

01:49:44.319 --> 01:49:52.800
And these are the people that I don't say it's not everybody that got laid off, no, but a lot of the people were the people that didn't become valuable and got laid off.

01:49:52.880 --> 01:49:59.840
Some people that actually work hard got caught up in everything and got laid off because that's kind of just how it goes, but a lot of them got laid off.

01:50:00.079 --> 01:50:11.760
And now they're having hard times bouncing back because you didn't do anything for so long, and now you have to go somewhere else and pivot and/or learn new technology and systems and tools.

01:50:12.079 --> 01:50:20.960
Yeah, it goes back to um the episode I did with Tayo, and he was talking about how for six months on that cloud migration progress project, they were doing nothing.

01:50:21.039 --> 01:50:24.960
And he said, so he used that time to make himself valuable and learn how to be valuable.

01:50:25.199 --> 01:50:33.840
Because most people, if you say I'm gonna pay you$150,000 and you really ain't doing it in the whole day, a lot of people are not gonna do nothing.

01:50:34.000 --> 01:50:39.279
But those people will either be stuck at$150,000 or if they lose that job, they won't even be able to make it.

01:50:39.680 --> 01:50:40.399
Yeah, exactly.

01:50:40.640 --> 01:50:47.039
Then there are gonna be the people that say if I'm getting paid$150,000 to do nothing, imagine what I get paid to do something.

01:50:47.279 --> 01:50:51.520
And them people gonna go through and make$200,000,$225,000$250,$300.

01:50:51.760 --> 01:50:53.039
Them the real hustlers right there.

01:50:53.119 --> 01:51:00.720
Them the real hustlers and the people who want to break in or get into tech real easy, like because they think it's gonna be easy.

01:51:01.039 --> 01:51:08.560
These are the same people who are not taking advantage of those opportunities and those moments where they can improve and expand their skill set.

01:51:08.720 --> 01:51:12.000
They're just being content with whatever it is that they have going on.

01:51:12.159 --> 01:51:21.119
I think it's important for you to take advantage of all time you have available and all resources that a company provides you with, because you might go somewhere that doesn't have any of that.

01:51:21.439 --> 01:51:24.479
So soak up as much as you can and take it where you go.

01:51:24.880 --> 01:51:25.680
Yeah, facts.

01:51:25.760 --> 01:51:27.920
So I mean, hopefully y'all heard that part.

01:51:28.000 --> 01:51:31.359
Like, hey, there's one point to make you know 150.

01:51:31.600 --> 01:51:35.279
Take that knowledge and double that, triple it, whatever you want to do.

01:51:35.439 --> 01:51:37.439
But there are ways that you can make more.

01:51:37.520 --> 01:51:39.600
So if you ever get like that, and that's the thing, too.

01:51:39.680 --> 01:51:42.399
Like the more money you make, the more you realize it's more money to make.

01:51:42.560 --> 01:51:44.800
I know that's capitalistic, but no, that's facts.

01:51:44.880 --> 01:51:46.479
That's that's that's absolutely facts.

01:51:48.079 --> 01:51:58.479
And um, let's see, I think this is one because I want to show some people how to navigate HR when you're on LinkedIn if you're looking for a job at your current company.

01:51:58.640 --> 01:52:01.199
And then we got one about the fiance costing the job.

01:52:01.279 --> 01:52:02.880
So let's let's see this.

01:52:03.279 --> 01:52:07.760
HR department screenshot one of my clients' activity on LinkedIn.

01:52:08.479 --> 01:52:14.479
Out of over 200 people at this point, this is something that's never happened.

01:52:14.800 --> 01:52:20.640
And it's actually something that I tell people don't stress, it's not that deep, they're not looking at you.

01:52:20.880 --> 01:52:22.720
But today it happened.

01:52:23.119 --> 01:52:29.039
And that is a sign more than ever that you need to go.

01:52:30.159 --> 01:52:42.319
Because if your HR department is screenshotting a comment that you left on your LinkedIn, so basically, with LinkedIn, you can see your activity.

01:52:42.560 --> 01:52:49.840
And part of my process and system is um we're networking, we're we're commenting on other people's posts and stuff.

01:52:50.000 --> 01:52:54.880
And I tell people, you know, you don't have to say, I'm looking for a job, I just applied, whatever.

01:52:54.960 --> 01:52:59.279
But my client did that because um they don't really care too much.

01:53:00.159 --> 01:53:10.720
But what happened was the HR department screenshot the comment of my client saying, Hey, so and so just applied for the role, would love to connect and talk about it, right?

01:53:11.039 --> 01:53:13.600
They screenshot that and sent it to the boss or something.

01:53:13.760 --> 01:53:21.199
Or the C, I forgot if it was the CEO talked to HR one, I forgot which way it went, but they called me today and they're like, Patrick, has this ever happened?

01:53:21.359 --> 01:53:24.239
I said, girl, you gotta go.

01:53:24.640 --> 01:53:30.079
That do you understand how insane that is to do that?

01:53:30.880 --> 01:53:33.119
Do you know how insane that is to do that?

01:53:33.439 --> 01:53:38.399
So I want to let y'all know, listen, you do have to use LinkedIn to find a job.

01:53:38.640 --> 01:53:48.880
And I guess they are watching y'all like Hawks, but at the same time, if you have a job that's sitting there and watching your activity on LinkedIn, you have to block these people.

01:53:49.039 --> 01:53:50.319
They are miserable.

01:53:50.479 --> 01:53:51.840
They are miserable.

01:53:52.159 --> 01:53:53.920
I'm so flabbergasted.

01:53:54.319 --> 01:53:57.520
I don't even have to so you you just have to block, honestly.

01:53:57.680 --> 01:53:59.920
That's not even, I'm not even trying to be funny.

01:54:00.640 --> 01:54:01.840
He's so blue.

01:54:02.479 --> 01:54:05.760
He's so blue, he's so irritated, rightfully so.

01:54:06.000 --> 01:54:08.159
He sounds like he sit around and say child all day.

01:54:08.319 --> 01:54:11.199
I think that you definitely got to be careful out here.

01:54:11.359 --> 01:54:21.439
You have definitely got to be careful, especially if you know that you work for an employer that's petty and is real HRE, and you know that has that culture.

01:54:21.760 --> 01:54:25.279
Everybody's been at some place like that before in their careers.

01:54:25.439 --> 01:54:26.560
You know if you there.

01:54:27.039 --> 01:54:39.119
Yeah, but you really, if you're looking for a job, you have to assume that everybody from work can look at your thing and they may have certain triggers for maybe employees when they go through their whatever they're doing on LinkedIn to see you.

01:54:39.199 --> 01:54:44.319
So your best bet is to never comment that is to always send a direct message.

01:54:44.560 --> 01:54:51.039
That's also why I don't advocate for people if you're currently working somewhere and you're trying to look for a job to take the banner off and only have it, you know, to recruiters.

01:54:51.199 --> 01:55:01.199
Now, granted, if HR is a real shady day, we'll just be trying to see, oh, I see just you got your stuff open to work because you know they got HR recruiter where they can see that stuff.

01:55:01.279 --> 01:55:10.399
But you want to be discreet, and that's also why I don't advocate for you to have your active company showcased on your LinkedIn, just because that's also weird.

01:55:10.560 --> 01:55:20.079
If you start getting too popular or you say things online that people don't like, they try to make it as if that represents the company and it's really your own thoughts.

01:55:20.159 --> 01:55:21.600
And so it's one of those things.

01:55:21.680 --> 01:55:24.880
And I'm gonna tell you something here too, while we're here.

01:55:26.000 --> 01:55:42.960
If you somehow use their current company to leverage your career and professional brand, be prepared uh to feel that twofold when the pendulum shifts and they don't like it, and now they start scrutinizing everything you do because you are leveraging, hey, I work at so-and-so.

01:55:43.119 --> 01:55:49.199
I'm a so-and-so recruiter, or I'm a so-and-so uh cloud engineer, I'm a so-and-so incident responder.

01:55:49.279 --> 01:55:57.119
If you start doing that right there, too, that's gonna draw a lot of attention on you because you keep on mentioning the company name, and it seems like, hey, these are the type of people you hire.

01:55:57.279 --> 01:55:58.800
Why are they talking like this here and there?

01:55:58.960 --> 01:56:01.520
Why are they saying this or why are they doing this and all this other stuff?

01:56:01.680 --> 01:56:12.079
And and a lot of times you could not be doing anything wrong, but it's the fact that you put a target on your back by um making making you and your employer like this.

01:56:12.239 --> 01:56:15.840
So you gotta make sure they are cool with all that before you start doing that.

01:56:18.079 --> 01:56:19.279
So that's what I was just saying.

01:56:19.359 --> 01:56:24.000
But in the meantime, do not apply anywhere and say, hey, I just applied.

01:56:24.079 --> 01:56:25.760
That's the recipe for disaster.

01:56:26.000 --> 01:56:26.640
And here you go.

01:56:26.800 --> 01:56:27.760
I thought this was pretty cool.

01:56:27.840 --> 01:56:28.800
So this is the last one.

01:56:29.119 --> 01:56:32.960
Right cost me a$300,000 opportunity.

01:56:33.760 --> 01:56:34.560
I'm already pissed.

01:56:34.800 --> 01:56:35.760
I'm already pissed for them.

01:56:35.920 --> 01:56:37.119
Like I here we go.

01:56:37.439 --> 01:56:40.720
For the last six months, I've been looking to jump to a new job.

01:56:40.960 --> 01:56:47.279
I got my master's in cybersecurity from an IB League school, and I've had multiple job offers that my current employer cannot compete with.

01:56:47.520 --> 01:56:56.319
My biggest disappointment, however, was being ghosted from what was essentially my dream job: a security auditor job for one of the biggest manufacturers in the business.

01:56:56.960 --> 01:57:02.479
It would have required me to travel a lot for work, but other than travel, I would work maybe 20 hours a week remotely.

01:57:02.560 --> 01:57:07.600
And the paycheck was$300,000 more a year than what I'm currently making now.

01:57:07.840 --> 01:57:10.640
So not$300,000 total,$300,000 more.

01:57:12.399 --> 01:57:15.439
Wait, what manufacturer do you think he was they was interviewing at?

01:57:16.079 --> 01:57:17.600
What's the largest manufacturer in the world?

01:57:19.279 --> 01:57:20.479
Than what he's making now.

01:57:21.600 --> 01:57:24.960
I went through two rounds of interviews and I clicked with the managers.

01:57:25.359 --> 01:57:26.720
Then they ghosted me.

01:57:26.800 --> 01:57:28.640
I was devastated, but moved on.

01:57:28.800 --> 01:57:32.800
I am looking to start my next job in next month with another great employer.

01:57:33.039 --> 01:57:36.720
My fiance hated the idea of getting the original job.

01:57:36.880 --> 01:57:40.640
I would be gone for weeks, sometimes a month at a time, multiple times a year.

01:57:40.800 --> 01:57:45.439
I wanted to start a family, and so did she, and she told me she did not want to raise our future children alone.

01:57:45.600 --> 01:57:48.319
Even if that meant she could quit her job and be a stay-at-home mom.

01:57:48.479 --> 01:57:56.880
She refused to talk about it as well, shaming me for even considering the job when it would put us in a financial situation I could have only dreamed of as a kid.

01:57:57.039 --> 01:57:59.760
Maybe if we talked about it, we could have found some milk ground.

01:57:59.840 --> 01:58:04.159
But honestly, maybe this would have been the irreconcilable differences that ended our relationship.

01:58:04.560 --> 01:58:05.600
I'm just right here now.

01:58:05.680 --> 01:58:06.800
Hit that Randy Jackson.

01:58:06.880 --> 01:58:08.079
It's a no for me, dog.

01:58:09.439 --> 01:58:10.640
It's a no for me.

01:58:10.880 --> 01:58:18.960
I feel like this may be, I don't know what the fiance does, but I feel like she maybe they don't want you to outshine them or something, but something is going on here.

01:58:19.199 --> 01:58:21.520
Like, there's no way possible.

01:58:21.680 --> 01:58:28.079
Like if a person really wants you to succeed, they'll deal with it because they know eventually everything's a means to an end.

01:58:28.319 --> 01:58:32.479
I just was about to say that I don't believe in making crazy sacrifices like that.

01:58:32.640 --> 01:58:39.039
I think that just like you said, if you love truly someone, you want them to do the things that make them happy.

01:58:39.359 --> 01:58:49.439
And sometimes that might not align with your preferences and wants, but out of the love and compassion that you have, you still support that because it makes them happy.

01:58:49.680 --> 01:58:51.039
Or this person needs more to do.

01:58:51.119 --> 01:58:56.000
Like if you're like if me being gone that much is bothering you, granted, we don't have kids or nothing now.

01:58:56.079 --> 01:58:58.640
Like, I don't understand.

01:58:58.800 --> 01:59:06.560
I went to these obviously schools, and I know I gotta but but that's why it's important to choose your partner because you was with me when I went to this school.

01:59:06.640 --> 01:59:07.279
You know what I mean?

01:59:07.439 --> 01:59:11.039
You you you we talked about it, you knew what the point was.

01:59:11.439 --> 01:59:17.439
So that's why I I really don't understand their their mindset of doing all this to them.

01:59:17.760 --> 01:59:22.319
This week I got a call that has resulted in me almost unaliving my fiance.

01:59:23.199 --> 01:59:24.079
Unaliving.

01:59:24.319 --> 01:59:25.600
You know what that means.

01:59:25.840 --> 01:59:36.079
One of the managers at the dream job called me up and said that they were heartbroken when I backed out of the process, but that they had another opening that would not require as much travel.

01:59:36.319 --> 01:59:37.600
I was so confused.

01:59:38.000 --> 01:59:47.039
And learned that not only was I selected for the third round of interviews, two of the three senior managers at the company wanted to offer me the job by the third round.

01:59:47.600 --> 01:59:57.199
Unfortunately, I sent them an email after the second round saying that after discussing it with my fiance, that the traveling was a deal breaker and that I needed to back out.

01:59:57.680 --> 02:00:00.720
I gotta pause it right there because listen to me.

02:00:00.880 --> 02:00:02.239
No, no, no, no, you go first.

02:00:04.079 --> 02:00:15.840
Why is your fiance on your it sounds like your personal laptop responding to bit so this already is leaving room for there to be an issue at work where you on my laptop doing things?

02:00:16.000 --> 02:00:18.560
Why are you even how can you even get access to no no?

02:00:18.640 --> 02:00:19.199
Let's take it first.

02:00:19.359 --> 02:00:22.159
You went to an object league and got a degree in cybersecurity.

02:00:22.319 --> 02:00:22.880
So thank you.

02:00:23.039 --> 02:00:24.560
You don't know how to protect your stuff.

02:00:24.800 --> 02:00:26.239
What how didn't you know?

02:00:26.720 --> 02:00:30.239
I mean, it's in the scent folder, not really looking in the scent folder.

02:00:30.560 --> 02:00:34.560
Hey, I would have been seeing it on my phone, like the notification, the initial email.

02:00:34.720 --> 02:00:37.840
That's a lot of manipulation going on in this scenario.

02:00:38.079 --> 02:00:42.000
I immediately knew that my fiance went behind my back and sent that email.

02:00:42.239 --> 02:00:45.760
That job was probably the best thing that could have ever happened to me.

02:00:46.000 --> 02:00:50.479
Its salary was twice what I would be making at my new job that I'm starting in a month.

02:00:50.640 --> 02:00:55.840
It was with the biggest manufacturer in the sector, and it could have been a fast-track position to management.

02:00:56.000 --> 02:01:02.000
I had to excuse myself through tears from the call and had to hang up on the manager in the middle of the conversation.

02:01:02.319 --> 02:01:05.359
I didn't know how to write this without blood on my hands.

02:01:06.000 --> 02:01:14.239
My fiance went behind my back and ruined possibly the best opportunity of my career without any possibility of coming to sort of consensus between us.

02:01:14.399 --> 02:01:16.720
I'm livid beyond any sense of the word.

02:01:16.960 --> 02:01:18.800
When she came home that day, I saw red.

02:01:19.199 --> 02:01:22.560
When she walked in the door, I didn't know if I was gonna flip my shit.

02:01:22.960 --> 02:01:29.199
I don't know how I had so much restraint that I had allowed her to leave the house unscathed after what she did to me.

02:01:29.520 --> 02:01:31.359
I told her that I knew what she did.

02:01:31.520 --> 02:01:34.000
She tried to apologize, but I refused to hear any of it.

02:01:34.159 --> 02:01:36.960
I told her she needed to get out of the house for her own safety.

02:01:37.199 --> 02:01:38.960
She called and texted me multiple times.

02:01:39.119 --> 02:01:43.680
I've ignored her, deleted every voicemail and text without even considering hearing her out.

02:01:43.920 --> 02:01:49.439
I finally answered this morning and didn't get a minute into the conversation before I burst into tears and hung up.

02:01:49.840 --> 02:01:53.920
I knew if I was to see her face to face again, would not be able to hold back next time.

02:01:54.239 --> 02:01:57.119
The last few days have put me in the darkest place of my life.

02:01:57.520 --> 02:02:00.720
I just got done texting her that it is over and we're through.

02:02:00.880 --> 02:02:04.479
That when she plans to come get her stuff, I need to be out of the house for obvious reasons.

02:02:04.640 --> 02:02:08.880
I'm considering talking to a lawyer to see if there's a chance to hold her accountable.

02:02:13.840 --> 02:02:15.359
I ain't mad at him breaking up with her.

02:02:16.560 --> 02:02:20.800
And and luckily they were not married, and luckily he was able to get.

02:02:21.119 --> 02:02:27.279
I'm assuming it's a he, he or she, they were able to get out the situation before that became an issue in the marriage.

02:02:27.600 --> 02:02:29.520
That is so unforgivable.

02:02:29.760 --> 02:02:32.399
You remind me the uh imagine working.

02:02:32.479 --> 02:02:35.119
So do you know how hard it is to get a job today?

02:02:35.359 --> 02:02:37.359
Paying twice, you already make it 300,000 more.

02:02:40.720 --> 02:02:41.520
Well, what's on that?

02:02:41.600 --> 02:02:43.520
This cameras and Drake say, give me my ring back.

02:02:43.680 --> 02:02:44.560
Can't keep that shit.

02:02:44.720 --> 02:02:45.680
Give me the ring back.

02:02:45.840 --> 02:02:47.359
Give me my necklace back.

02:02:48.239 --> 02:02:59.359
Like, no, I mean, he's look like I ain't gonna lie, it's probably some people in his family that like, hey fam, just slide me some and I got you, just because ain't no way.

02:03:00.399 --> 02:03:05.680
You can feel how you want to feel natural saying you, her, can feel how you want to feel.

02:03:06.000 --> 02:03:10.960
You didn't even try to have a conversation with it, like you went full on it.

02:03:11.359 --> 02:03:18.880
Come that that's beyond overstepping, and then this was something that was gonna change your life, not just his life, your life.

02:03:19.039 --> 02:03:22.159
Yeah, she probably created that boy didn't turn into future.

02:03:22.560 --> 02:03:25.199
That's he's gonna have a lot of trust issues.

02:03:25.600 --> 02:03:27.600
I would oh god bless him.

02:03:27.760 --> 02:03:29.520
I hope he's able to stay connected with those.

02:03:30.000 --> 02:03:37.119
Part of me wanna reach part of me want to say no with this fake because I don't really believe, I don't know any woman out here that's gonna trip.

02:03:37.279 --> 02:03:38.079
Okay, cool.

02:03:38.239 --> 02:03:40.000
I ain't really gotta work if I don't want to.

02:03:40.079 --> 02:03:41.199
I can have a soft life.

02:03:41.279 --> 02:03:42.720
He's doing this and that.

02:03:42.960 --> 02:03:46.399
I don't know anybody like life be so ridiculous.

02:03:46.640 --> 02:03:47.520
I believe it.

02:03:47.760 --> 02:03:48.399
I do too.

02:03:48.560 --> 02:03:54.720
But I'm just saying, I I really there's just if she was to this sound like people.

02:03:54.800 --> 02:03:55.199
I don't know.

02:03:55.359 --> 02:03:56.079
I'm angry.

02:03:56.239 --> 02:03:57.119
I'm mad for me.

02:03:57.279 --> 02:03:57.760
I'm angry.

02:03:57.840 --> 02:04:02.720
I'm angry like it's because I just I visualize like when he said like he he he was like imagine.

02:04:02.800 --> 02:04:05.199
Let's just say let's let's let's let's break this down.

02:04:05.359 --> 02:04:09.039
Imagine if this was a git uh a first generation student, right?

02:04:10.880 --> 02:04:22.159
First gen, first in the family to be making over probably six figures, plus not just a hundred thousand, not two hundred thousand, not three hundred thousand.

02:04:22.479 --> 02:04:24.399
It was about four, five, six, somewhere.

02:04:24.479 --> 02:04:28.479
It was it was three hundred thousand more than what they were already making.

02:04:28.960 --> 02:04:30.720
It come on, yeah.

02:04:30.880 --> 02:04:32.720
Come on, come on, man.

02:04:32.960 --> 02:04:38.079
What and the whole killing part about it is the fact that they was gonna offer him.

02:04:38.800 --> 02:04:42.239
It was his they was gonna offer him the fact that they came back.

02:04:42.399 --> 02:04:45.920
I really, really, really, really, really hope he's able to maintain that relationship.

02:04:46.000 --> 02:04:48.319
And also, how do you explain that?

02:04:48.479 --> 02:04:50.720
I you know how do you explain that?

02:04:50.800 --> 02:04:57.840
I it's hard to explain it because I can feel you, but I'm like, hold on, now you're supposed to be in cybersecurity and this happened.

02:04:58.079 --> 02:04:58.319
Thank you.

02:04:58.479 --> 02:05:00.399
So, how can I also trust you?

02:05:00.640 --> 02:05:07.520
Because my only thing is like this when I be wanting to get this is like, see, we should start a whole niche where like we go so upset.

02:05:07.680 --> 02:05:10.399
We should start a firm where we do PI stuff for stuff like this.

02:05:10.479 --> 02:05:12.960
Because how do they like did they use in this phone?

02:05:13.119 --> 02:05:14.079
Was it an older phone?

02:05:14.159 --> 02:05:19.840
Because you know, the new like iPhones, they test to see if you're actually up and not sleep.

02:05:20.000 --> 02:05:23.279
Because you know, old phones, you can face unlock somebody like this and unlock.

02:05:23.520 --> 02:05:29.439
Now they want to make sure that you're up, so they have this patent of technology that can check for you being up.

02:05:29.520 --> 02:05:30.399
That does that happen.

02:05:30.640 --> 02:05:31.680
Is it one of those?

02:05:31.840 --> 02:05:40.880
This is why I believe like there should be some segmentation, like it's not a fact that I'm being like sneaky or anything, but no, you can't have a password for everything.

02:05:40.960 --> 02:05:45.680
Some stuff should just be your stuff and my stuff unless it's an emergency, yeah.

02:05:45.840 --> 02:05:46.239
Or here.

02:05:46.319 --> 02:05:46.880
That means a lot.

02:05:47.600 --> 02:05:49.439
It's just such an unfortunate situation.

02:05:49.520 --> 02:05:52.479
Like, that is that's so unfortunate, right?

02:05:52.640 --> 02:05:59.359
That's so and then now you finna play victim, and now you finna go tell everybody that that he was finna choose the job over.

02:05:59.680 --> 02:06:00.720
Like, come on, come on.

02:06:00.880 --> 02:06:03.600
And they mama if I said I would have chosen over you too.
