  #15 - From Lawyer to Bestselling Author-What 50 Years in Business Taught Me | Guest: Douglas J. Wood

  Jul 30, 202636 min

  Douglas J. Wood spent nearly 50 years building a multimillion-dollar law practice. Then he walked away, on purpose. In this episode of FIT for Success, Ephraim sits down with Douglas J. Wood, former trial attorney, and Amazon bestselling author, to talk about the decisions that matter most in business and why most leaders wait too long to make them. Douglas shares how delegation nearly backfired when a key partner left his firm, and why every single client stayed anyway. He breaks down the five-year process he used to transition out of his practice, why he wishes he'd done it sooner, and what he'd tell any business owner thinking about their own exit. They also get into a conversation about AI that takes a sharp turn, from Douglas's latest thriller about an FBI profiler hunting an AI serial killer, to a candid discussion about what happens to human creativity when machines can do the thinking for us.

  #14 - The Supply Chain Attack That Shut Down 14 Toyota Plants in One Day | Guest: Sumit Vakil

  Jul 2, 202630 min

  A ransomware attack on a single supplier. Fourteen Toyota plants shut down. 13,000 cars not built. In one day. In this episode of FIT for Success, Ephraim sits down with Sumit Vakil — co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Resilinc, one of the world's leading experts in supply chain risk — to talk about the cybersecurity threat most businesses overlook entirely: their suppliers. Sumit breaks down how a breach anywhere in your supply chain can shut down your operations, cost you key contracts, and damage your brand for years — not weeks. He also explains why the operational technology running most factory floors is the thing that actually keeps him up at night, and why an air gap between IT and OT systems is rarely as real as companies think.

  #13 - A Green Beret's Guide to Defending Your Business From Cyber Attack | Guest: Sean Brehm

  Jul 2, 202637 min

  Sean Brehm has fought in three domains of warfare. He thinks cybersecurity is the fifth — and most businesses are sending their cook into a knife fight. In this episode of FIT for Success, Ephraim sits down with Sean Brehm — Special Forces veteran, former IBM AI executive, and founder of CrowdPoint Technologies — to explore why the military framework for defending a city maps almost perfectly onto defending a business network. Sean breaks down his eight fundamentals of cybersecurity, explains why most companies don't even know what they own, and shares his "Cancun analogy" — a story he's told on stage that makes the case for why AI built by PhDs and accountants isn't the same as AI built by warriors. They also talk about a 25-person company that lost $5 million to a criminal who had been silently reading their emails for months.

  #12 - What the NSA Taught Me About Ransomware Prevention | Guest: Robert Thomas

  Jul 2, 202634 min

  Most businesses think cybersecurity insurance will save them. Robert Thomas thinks they're reading the fine print wrong. In this episode of FIT for Success, Ephraim sits down with Robert Thomas — former NSA intelligence officer and founder of 180A Consulting — to break down how the cybersecurity insurance landscape has quietly changed, and why the policy you bought might not cover anywhere near what you think it does. He shares a real example of a restaurant chain that was offered $2 million in coverage for a risk category where the average payout was $145 million. Robert also walks through his "big five" ransomware prevention framework, including why the DNS security most businesses rely on is updated on a 24-hour cycle when the best tools update every 20 minutes — and why that gap matters more than most IT teams realize.
