Summary

Presented with limited interruptions by:

***************
My guest is Skip Holst, co-founder of Patriot Protect. After the positive response regarding "Gold IRA scams," I decided an episode on the evolving landscape of cybersecurity would make sense. Take an hour and consider the importance of protecting personal information from data breaches and scams. Skip shares insights from his experience in the cybersecurity field, and we hone in on the psychology behind scams, the role of offshore scammers, and the dark web's impact on data trading.

If you haven't considered the balance between convenience and security in online practices , this might help you consider your personal digital hygiene.

0:00.0	I hate the subscription servicing of our economy. I can't stand it. We don't own anything anymore.
0:08.6	I can't buy something and have it be ours and functional, you know, like Spotify or Apple,
0:13.0	Apple music versus, you know, buying a CD. I miss those days. We could just buy a CD and that's
0:17.3	your music. But unfortunately, we're required to be a subscription service because
0:21.1	it's not a one and done. It's a constant monitoring. These companies are constantly trawling
0:26.2	these source databases for information to put out there because it's in their interest
0:31.1	to pay for people to pay for it or get the traffic for the ad clicks. And so, you know, just to
0:36.4	be clear, I mean, what we do is we constantly monitor so that if something comes back, we take it out immediately.
0:44.8	All interviewers have their own style, and my style is to try to get to the point and to be intensely curious.
0:51.1	And the key to interview is listening.
0:56.6	Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistleblower an American patriot. Prepare to embrace the uncomfortable truth because this program
1:02.1	has no time for comforting lies. Here is Civil Liberties enthusiast, Second Amendment
1:07.5	defender, and recovering FBI agent Kyle Serif.

1:17.0	Today's episode is going to be kind of fitting the theme that we've been doing for the last
1:20.9	couple weeks. We talked about gold scams, but scams can happen for any particular reason.
1:26.2	They don't have to necessarily be about gold or
1:27.8	going after just your retirement savings. They could be going after your liquid assets. They could be
1:31.5	going after your home. They could be going after your bank accounts, setting up fake credit cards
1:37.6	and so on using your credit record. So today we're going to be talking to Skip Holt. He's one of
