Well, all right again, welcome back for the active cell protection podcast.

I am yet again your host, Mike Willover.

And with any luck at all, I remain your favorite former Fed.

With us today is a new friend of mine. His name is Dan. Name is Dan Beam. Dan is from the Chicagoland area. And he is in financial services. So Dan, first of all, how are you, sir? I am doing pretty well, Mike. It's great to be on here. I've never done a podcast before, but I'm really happy to be here. I've done a couple, so I'll get us through this one way or another, not to worry.

So you, you briefly tried to describe for me what you do in financial services. Can you kind of explain

for the nice people listening and watching what that means exactly? Yeah, so I'm a compliance manager,

and there are a lot of rules and regulations in the financial

I mean, it's going to make me nervous. All right, moving on. So, so you just kind of recently found the active self-protection channel and it was subsequent to the incident we're going to talk about, which is kind of cool, because a lot of times, you know, people will say I listen to a channel for years and I learned something there, but you came across ASP after your attack, isn't that right?

Yeah, yeah. It was probably just only about a month ago or something like that. YouTube, you just somehow popped up in the algorithm and it showed me a video.

And that's all it took was, you know, about two minutes and I was hooked and I can't even count in how many videos I've seen, listen to a few podcasts as well.

So I'm probably just getting the tip of the iceberg compared

to you guys have been around for a long time doing this. Well, I only been here for about two and a half
