If you think privacy is dead, think again.

In this critical episode of the Efani Features Podcast, host Mark Kreitzman sits down with Glenn Meder, founder of Privacy Academy, to discuss the rising threat of digital surveillance and what you can actually do to protect your liberty.

From data brokers and corporate spyware to government-backed digital IDs and AI-based surveillance, Glenn outlines how privacy is the frontline of freedom — and why reclaiming it is urgent, possible, and empowering.

🔒 What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How governments and corporations use surveillance to control, track, and monetize you
• The origin story of Privacy Academy and its mission to fight back against Big Tech and Big Brother
• Why digital privacy is not just for activists, hackers, or paranoid people — it’s for everyone
• The critical difference between surface-level tools (like VPNs) vs. building a full privacy stack
• How to protect your devices, communications, and digital identity — even if you’re not tech-savvy
• A breakdown of Privacy Academy’s courses, live trainings, and community support model
• The 3 major threats: Hackers, Big Tech, and Governments — and how to defend against all three

You’ll also hear how AI-powered scams are evolving rapidly — from deepfake voices to hardware wallet fraud — and why teaching digital resilience to your parents, kids, and employees is no longer optional.

Whether you’re just starting your privacy journey or looking to deepen your defenses, Glenn shares a powerful framework to help you opt out of the surveillance economy — one step at a time.
