What if your biggest business vulnerability isn't what you're building - but how you're protecting it? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Alex Heublein joins Julia to talk about the urgent intersection of AI and cybersecurity, especially for small and mid-sized businesses. From real-world hacks to proactive protection strategies, this isn’t fear-mongering - it’s a playbook.

With decades of experience at tech giants like HP, Oracle, and Red Hat, Alex pulls back the curtain on how cybercrime is scaling like a business - and how AI is being used on both sides of the battlefield. If you're using AI without a strategy, relying on luck to stay safe, or assuming you're "too small" to be a target, this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why cyber criminals are now targeting small businesses—and how AI is helping them do it faster.
• The simple safeguards every entrepreneur should put in place before using AI tools like ChatGPT.
• How to create AI policies (or “guidelines”) that actually make sense and protect your business.
• What to ask before investing in AI-powered automation, and how to avoid the biggest risks.
• Why cyber insurance isn’t optional anymore—and how much you really need to budget for cybersecurity.
• How to approach AI adoption as a strategic advantage, not a tech trend.
