| 0:00.0 | Your team just added its 67th AI tool and also your 67th security blind spot. |
| 0:06.0 | The good news, the Vantter agent works like a GRC engineer in the background, |
| 0:11.0 | finding every app your team uses, scoring the risk and drafting fixes for you. |
| 0:16.0 | Vanta is the platform used by over 16,000 fast-moving companies like Synthesia, Nandoz, and Granola, who are |
| 0:23.3 | shaping the future with AI and staying ahead of AI risk. Get started at Vanta.com. |
| 0:30.2 | Well, recently I commented on a video of the supernanny. Apparently, that's what she's called. |
| 0:35.4 | I've never really heard of her. But she made a good point |
| 0:37.8 | about the way parents today raise their kids or fail to. I guess we'll play the video. Here it is. |
| 0:42.6 | I'm going to say something that might make you uncomfortable. So sit tight. We are slowly |
| 0:50.1 | disabling our children. And I don't say that likely. I say that because I work with families |

| 1:34.1 | basically understand bathroom hygiene, and I find myself asking, when did we stop teaching these |
| 1:42.5 | life skills? When? And before you get defensive, I understand modern life is |
| 1:48.9 | busy. I do. But this isn't about time. It's about intention. Because every time we step in and do it |
| 1:56.8 | for them or avoid teaching because it's slower, messier or inconvenient, we take away an |
| 2:04.2 | opportunity for them to become capable and children want to feel capable. So we go back to basics, |
| 2:12.9 | parents. We teach the bike riding with support. Then without. We remove the dummy when it's no longer needed. |
