Hello Soulful CXO Fans,
I hope you are doing well. I'm excited to share the latest episode of the show (Ep. 70 - AI in Cybersecurity: Hero or Villain?) featuring Chuck Brooks , President of Brooks Consulting. His recently released book, "Inside Cyber: How AI, 5G, IoT, and Quantum Computing Will Transform Privacy and Our Security," is very informative!
In this episode, we welcome back Chuck about the double-edged role of artificial intelligence in today’s complex security landscape. We discuss how AI aids in automating threat detection and response, helping address the cybersecurity talent gap, and AI’s potential misuse by cyber adversaries. Together, they discuss the essential role of proactive risk management, the need for robust cyber hygiene, and we the unique challenges faced by SMBs in securing their digital environments, and shed light on the crucial but often overlooked supply chain risks, especially in an interconnected world where even small vulnerabilities can lead to major breaches. With actionable insights and strategic advice, this episode prepares businesses of all sizes to better navigate cybersecurity’s evolving challenges.

? Clearing the Clutter of the Soul: Closing Chapters to Embrace the Present ?
Since the beginning of June, I’ve been on a journey to release what no longer resonates. This hasn’t just been about tidying up my surroundings—it’s been about a deep dive into what serves me, uplifts me, and aligns with who I am today.
??From jobs ?? and relationships ?? to old activities ???, even outdated electronics and chotskies ?? - all were fair game. Self-reflection isn’t always enough; sometimes, real growth means making space by releasing things that feel misaligned. I’m choosing to close certain chapters ?? to show up fully present in the now. Clearing these spaces brings a surprising sense of peace ?? and a profound lightness.
?Here's to giving ourselves permission to let go of the past so we can move forward with clarity and intention. ??
