  Speaker 1: Conversation Masterclass. Gregory Richardson. How you're doing, Gregory?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Fantastic? Rashaan, thank you for having me on your program.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Can you hear me? Well?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Pretty good?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Can you?
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Where are you based at at? Gregory? Where you based?
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Where are your best?
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I am? I live in Dallas, Texas and I am
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: right now in my office in Dallas, Texas. But I
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: move around a lot. So but right now you caught
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: me at home.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: We're good, We're good. Well, I know I just mentioned that.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Let's get a little background on you. Is working in AI?
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Is that?
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Is that a full time role for you?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Or you do other things? Because you seem like a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: man who multitasks.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Huh, you spit a mouthful at me there. Let me
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: let me start by start at the end and say,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I firmly disagree with the notion of multitasking in my
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: fairly limited experience. I'm only I'm only I'm approaching sixty
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: years old, so you know, I'm not a million years
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: old or anything like that. But in my experience, when
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I try to multitask, or when employees of mine try
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to multitask, what they end up doing is not doing
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: any of the tasks really well. Humans are fundamentally designed
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: to single purpose task. Obviously, you can chew and walk,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: you know, chew gum and walk at the same time,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: But I don't think your brain functions well doing two
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: separate tasks. The context switching and other things that need
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: to happen when you're flipping and flopping between tasks end
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: up making you more inefficient, So that's one part of it.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I just like to always I like that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I like that because I always I always proplay myself
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: as a multitasker.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I really do.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: That means I'm doing a lot of things, not saying
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I'm doing them simultaneously. That means that I got a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: couple of things happening. I got a couple of gigs,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I got a couple of deals. I got a couple
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of things that my fire's burning. They don't mean on fire.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: At the same time. That means I got a motivated
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to get these actions done. I will tell you this, Gregory,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. If you're trying to do
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: something anybody, if a computer is trying to calculate something simultaneously,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: or you're trying to load something on Wi Fi simultaneously,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it's gonna drag. So you absolutely correct. When you're trying
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to multitask simultaneously, it will not be effective.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Of facts. Now, to get to the core of what
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: you I believe you're asking. I'm confident you're asking. You
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: were spot on. You detect that I am a multi entrepreneur,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: a serial entrepreneur. Over my life, I've I've ran, owned,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: operated started multiple companies from car rentals to restaurants to
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: you name it, to consulting companies, software companies, real estate company.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Like my wife and I we we do entrepreneurship really well.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: In addition to that, I one hundred percent do have
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: a full time job also, So I am what you
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: call an ethical hacker, and for maybe the last forty
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: years or so, my career has been cybersecurity. How do
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I help large typically large organizations, the world's biggest banks, governments, companies, GM, FOD,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: you name it, Nissan that was recently in Tokyo with
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Nissan helping them solve some of their side security problems.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: That's my day job. Now how that connects to AI?
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, before we go there, let's go back.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Let's go back to this cybersecurity, because that's huge. You know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: we have people doing cyber ransom. You know, you have
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: a bank's, hospitals, governments, so being held hostage by people.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Talk to us through that whole process. When you're talking
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: about cybersecurity and we're talking about people who still use one, two, three,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: four as they password.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's there's so much there. One of the
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: things I like to kind of like flow the conversation
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: with is cybersecurity because of the volume, the share magnitude
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: of the number of threats that we've been seeing and
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: it's been growing like crazy. It's literally billions of threats
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: per hour, so it's you know it, it's more than huge.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe for the last fifteen twenty thirty years, it's been
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: more than you could hire humans to fix, right, So
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: that's why we started leveraging AI to help us do
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: things like prediction and classification and quickly looking at a
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: million files and saying which of these are bad files,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: which of them look like files that were by files
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: yesterday that were viruses or malware or ransomware, et cetera,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: et cetera. So that's a big part of it. The
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: other part of what we do in cybersecurity is called
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: security operations. That's where you're engaging with the users and
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: working against things like you just mentioned, Hey, you can't
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: set your password to one, two, three, four, even bigger.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Most people get that by now even bigger. You don't
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: want to reuse the same password on your Gmail, on
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: your Facebook, on your Instagram, on your this, on your that,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: on your banking you you really ideally should have separate
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: passwords for every single public facing service that you connect to.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: And in my from my perspective, what I recommend customers
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: and employees and whoever else I don't even use passwords anymore.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I'm either doing biometrics, finger I hand facial recognition, or
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: if I do have to type something in, I'm using
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: what we call a passphrase. So I'll give you a
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: real world example of that. Look, when computers started, you know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: or the internet connectivity started, a password could be eight
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: to ten characters long. There ain't a system in the world,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: a reasonably modern system, where you have that constraint. So therefore,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: why are we trying to squeeze a password into a
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: couple of characters. I'll give you a real world example.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: My password on one of my social media's right now.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Good luck trying to hack it, though. Is Philippians space
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: two colon three comma consider others more important than yourselves. Period.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: That's literally a scripture quote with the comma, with the period,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: with the spaces, with the capital letters. Philippians.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Password number, password.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: That's that's one of my probably five hundred passwords that
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I have. That's why I said I'm not afraid to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: put it out there, because I also changed my passwords constantly.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: But yeah, let me.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Ask you this. Let me ask you this. Great because
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I love talking to you.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I love your energy, because I've never talked to a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: guest like you that had the knowledge, because what we're
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: talking about is, you know, the simplicity and how people
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: kind of really disrespect the process and then when they
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: get scammed then they don't know why. Now the two
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: factor that's the big thing. I use two factor a lot.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on two factor because I do
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: use passwords. I do have a password vault. Because I
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: do have a ton of passwords, and I do change
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: every password for every account. The value of the password
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: vault allows me to do that. What do you say
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: when people are these systems recommend you use two factor,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you know authorization.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: One hundred percent agree with that, and you're going, obviously,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: we've we've just met Risson, but you're you're absolutely doing
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: the things you need to do. A password vault, obviously
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: you want to make sure it's a password evolved from
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: a very reputable company. I personally use a Google password vault.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I also use Google authenticat or you could use a
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Microsoft password vault. Maybe that's a little bit less secure,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: but use a password vault from a very reputable company,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: not some little mickey Mouse startup that if something goes wrong,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: you could at least see them and get you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: tens of thousands of dollars from them. That's step one,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: and you're you're doing that. Step two you absolutely the
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: password vault allows you to use multiple passwords without having
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: to remember or write down on a piece of post
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: to know what the password is, so excellent. Step two
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: you unequivocally to want to use two factor authentication. Well,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: two factor authentication is it's a second factor. So the
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: first factor could be your fingerprint or your password, or
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: your facial recognition or whatever. The second factor is it
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: sends something to something you have. So first factor is
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: something you know or something you are, a fingerprint or
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: something you know a password. The second factor could be
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: something you have, your cell phone, So it'll send a
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: ten to your cell phone saying hey, yes, Greg, if
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: you're really Greg, you're not only supposed to know the password,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: but you should have your cell phone with you as well.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I'm a pop a code up on your cell phone,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: put that, enter that here, and then I'll know that
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: it's you. That's one example of a two factor. Absolutely
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: recommend that I get my Facebook, for example, gets bombarded.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I guess you were trying to log on Greg or
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: you know, it looks like you lost your password. I
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: don't even bother with them anymore because I know I
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: have two factor turned on. So even if someone manages
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: to somehow guess or finagle my password, two factors is
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: going to stop them from getting in.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Greg, because you just hit home with these Bank of
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: America type emails or these Facebook emails or these American
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: that's what I get. They look like American Express, you
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: know exactly. You know, they look like a Bank of America.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: They look like they look like the Facebook and the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: matters talk about you violated a copyright if if you
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: don't click this link, we're going to take your site down.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: How does one you know, don't become don't be mislaid
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: by this fear of clicking the wrong thing, because they
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: always said the elderly community community is victimized the most.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: But talk to us about avoiding those type of scams.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Avoiding them is practically impossible. And I'll actually take a
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: step back if I may. What has caused or what
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: is causing that drastic uptick that we've seen for the
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: last five, ten, fifteen years in those types of scams.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: It is simple opportunism in around twenty twelve, the FBI
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: they released reports every year on the state of you know,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: crime and that kind of stuff. Somewhere around twenty ten,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: eleven to twelve, I don't remember exactly when, for the
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: first time the FBI released a report called the State
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: of Cyber Crime Security. It wasn't the first time they
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: released the report, but what about to say is the
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: first time they stated it. And in that report, somewhere
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: around twenty ten ish they stated for the first time
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: that revenue from criminal organizations that do ransomware and viruses
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: and spam and scams via the Internet surpassed for the
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: first time in history all revenue from all cocaine sales,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: heroin sales, and marijuana sales globally. So when criminal organizations
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: start noticing, hey, I don't need to buy a submarine
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: and smuggle drugs and this and that and the other,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: or I could keep doing that, but I can also
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: generate a lot of money over here by doing these
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: computer things. That is what triggers the attacks that we're
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: seeing now. Criminals are notoriously opportunistic, and you have to
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: look at every email you get. And this answers your
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: question directly, as is someone trying to get something that's
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: mine because money also want to be cautious. Nowadays, the
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: biggest target is PII. It's called Personal identifiable information. That's
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: the biggest target. Is someone trying to find out from
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: me my first name, last name, data, birth, first name,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: last name data, birth, social security? Are there is that?
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: And if someone is trying to get that or any
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: other and even just first name, last name, data birth,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: like if they're not asking for social still be paranoid.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Is someone trying to get my username and my password?
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Anytime you get emails requesting that type of information, you
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: need to pause, take a breath, and be very very
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: very very cautious. What's the source of the email? You
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: pick up the phone and call the Amazon or Facebook
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: or whoever and verify, Hey, did you send me this email?
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Like is my account at risk of being That's how
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: you have to handle that, because that's what those criminals
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: are opportunistic. It's like parking a bunch of cars on
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: the street. Happens in the neighborhoods all over the world,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: even fancy ones. Criminals will walk back asked and just
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: tried door handles. Which car they're gonna rob first? The
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: one where the cars unlocked. They are opportunistic, so the
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: easiest target is the one that gets hit.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: And because of the volume of that, you know, it's
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: no longer you know Billy, Bob or or Nikky in
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: his grandmother's basement playing around on the internet doing some scams.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: That's not what it is anymore. It is fundamental, well
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: funded and resourced criminal organizations that literally have office buildings.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: They go to campuses to recruit smart computer science kids
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: to come into their criminal organization and create ransomware, create viruses,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: and craft these sting operations, et cetera. So that's what
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: you're going against these people. It's no longer you know
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Susie in the basement. It is now an organization coming
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: after you. So you gotta bear back. And one of
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: the known things with scams, it's all they tried to
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: impose a sense of urgency. You got to do this
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: right now, right anytime you see that, feel that either
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: that or they.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Threaten you with an ultimate penalty if you don't respond.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: You know, and I will tell you this. I'm talking
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: to Gregory Richardson AI expert, cybersecurity expert, a man who
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: loves his job, I'm just telling you it's a level
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: of passion. How did you And we're going to get
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: into the AI in the next break, but how did
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you know this was for you? Like, I have a
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: degree in mathematics. My minus associate is in sociology. When
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I graduate from college, I started out in computers. I
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: love the logic. How did you know from a state
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: of passion that this is where you knew your career
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and your life would be gregory.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: It's a very very interesting story. I am in college.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I left at a fairly young age. I was just
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: just turning sixteen, late part of my sixteen year old
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: that phrase when I left the Caribbean island that I
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: grew up on and my parents and all of my
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: family are from, and we moved. Well, I was sent
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: actually to the US, the middle of the US, to
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: the Midwest, to college. Kind of stupid, you know kids
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: are when they're stupid, think they know it all, et cetera.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: But my major initially was civil engineering. People told me
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: a good job is you know, civil engineering, You'll build
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: roads and buildings for governments and just good job security. Now,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: while that's my major, I am in my dorm room
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: and this is the early eighties, right, So like there
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: is no Internet yet, there are no computer stores. Yet
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I'm in my dorm room building computers from scratch and
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: selling them on campus to students, and I'm literally investing
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: all of my That was but the joy that I had.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I hated my classes. I hated every and after about
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: literally I switched my major from from civil engineering to
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: electrical engineering. Then I switched to the math, then I
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: switched it to bits. Like I was all over. I
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: was stupid.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I was dumb with no, no, no, no, you were me, Gregory.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I started out the civil engineering, then I went to accounting,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: then I went to chemical engineering, and then I wind
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: up getting my degree in mathematics. But I hold that thought, Gregory,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: you are fantastic. Please don't go anywhere. We're talking to
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Gregory richardson cybersecurity expert AI AI Genius something called me
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: AI genius because he is on fire right now. And
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: if you want to hear more, especially how he's using
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: and teaching nonprofit organizations in churches how to use AI
• 16:37

• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Gregory, the word passion is an understatement when I hear
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: you talk about cybersecurity. And I say that because I'm
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you some When I log on my computer,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: when I click emails, I'm nervous and I'm not very comfortable.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: And that's the world we live in. It's a world
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: of fast moving activity. But are you uncomfortable as I
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: am as we navigate through this new world of technology
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: that's being put forth out there that we have to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: use in order to participate.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Great, great, great, great question, and I'll answer it with
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: a little, a tiny bit of background.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: I am a staunch believer in the concept that we
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: find in the Bible in Jeremiah chapter one, somewhere around
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: verse four or so, and that's Jeremiah being spoken to
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: by God. Jeremiah's a prophet and God tells him, before
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: you were formed in your mother's womb, I intimately knew
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: what you were made for. I firmly believe in that.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: That's why, jokingly, I was dumb as a bag of
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: bricks because when I was twelve years old in high school,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: a bunch of friends and I had a little public
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: access TV program where we taught adults how to use computers.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: So it was very obvious to me that my passion
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: was technology from twelve years old, and when I go
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: to college, I'm doing everything but technology. It took two
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: and a half three years into college for a friend
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: happened to be a chaplain to walk he was on
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: my floor, to walk up to me and say, dude,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: why are you not why are you not studying computers.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I'm like, it's not I'm electrical engineering or a business major.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: He said, dude, all you're doing all day is sitting
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: here behind this computer doing computer stuff. Is obvious your
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: passion And that was kind of like an AHA moment
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: for me, and that is what fuels not only my success,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: but my ability. And I say this to entrepreneurs, business
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: people people you know early in career or late in
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: career making changes if you can do what you're passionate about.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not guarantee you and you're gonna make a million
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: dollars or whatever whatever. You might maybe not, but at
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: least you'll be able to function and be effective through
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: all adversities. There's been many rough periods in time. I
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: remember twenty thirty years ago, cybersecurity was a terrible industry
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: to be in. No one wasn't hiring. I'd go and
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: visit banks and businesses, especially in the Caribbean where I
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: was living at that time. Hey, do your cybersecurity. No,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: we don't need no cybersecurity. My it guy handles that.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: It took Target getting hacked home depot right there in
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Atlanta getting hacked. Suddenly the owners to be, oh my god,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: we need to do something about cybersecurity, and then all
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: of a sudden it boomed. But prior to that, no
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: one cared about cybersecurity. What kept me passionate and invested
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: in cybersecurity was the fact that I was doing what
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I was in. I believe genuinely cybersecurity and technology was
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: stitched into my DNA by the person created me. So
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: I'm just doing what's natural, and that's what you hear
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: in my voice. That's what you hear in the passion
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: when I answer questions. You can I tell my employees, coworkers,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: people that work for me, whatever. All the time. You
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: wake me up at three in the morning, bro, I'll
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: answer questions. Problem.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: I love it. I love it. I love it.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Hey Gregory, No, let's transition to AI because I don't
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: want to say I'm going to talk about something and
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: we don't talk about it. I think they're to frustrate
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: our listeners or AI. What concerns you about AI when
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: it comes to securities and current concerns and privacy? Because
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: we just over your AI is being thrown into everybody's conversation.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows the two letters AI artificial intelligence. But it
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: is security concerns, it is private concerns. What do you think.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: More? There are definitely security and privacy. As a matter
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: of fact, is it okay if I give your your
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: listeners a way for them to reach me? Can I
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: just quickly plug a website?
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Absolutely do your thing, because I think that is important
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: that people know how to reach you exactly.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Anyone that wants to reach me connect LinkedIn social media,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: all of it by my book, whatever, all of it.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Every way to get in touch with me is at www.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: My name Gregory G R E g O R Y
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Richardson r I C hr DSN dot AI, Gregory Richardson
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: dot AI. You can get me there, get everything there.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I answer messages. So that's out of the way. Let's continue.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Are there security concerns with AI one hundred percent? But
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: it's more than that, And candidly, I think the opportunity
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: is bigger than the concerns in AI. I often used
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: the analog of the Gutenberg printing Press fourteen hundred fifteen hundred.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Somewhere around the fifteenth century, Gutenberg invented. He was a jeweler,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: worked with gold stuff and working with defined things in gold,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: he created this thing called the printing press. And the
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: first thing they started printing was gossip rags and you know,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: like descriptions of let's call them lurid tales, you know,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: so basically written out pornography. That was the first things
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: the press was used for. Because even then they knew
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: if I print something sallacious, people are gonna gobble it up.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: If I say you a woman found in bed with
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: a cow, people they're gonna buy that newspaper. So the
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: church in particular was very concerned, Oh my god, this
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: thing is evil, and lots of the industries were very
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: this thing is not good, like we shouldn't be doing this.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Then suddenly, now keep in mind, if you look at
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: a historical timeline, Europe and most of the world right
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: now is smack dab in the middle of the Dark Ages.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Black plague is killing millions of people across Europe. That's
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: when this happened. Fast forward Finally, some monk somewhere says,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: you know what I thinking, I'm gonna use the printing
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: press for these Bible books that we've been writing out
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: by hand. And it takes us twenty years, We're going
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: to print some Fast forward fifty five, zero years later,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: the world has been in the Dark Ages for more
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: than a thousand years. Fast forward fifty years later. The
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: printing press and the publication of Bibles, which to this
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: day is still the top selling book, single handedly hold
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: the entire globe out of the Dark Ages because someone
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: leaned into the new technology, the printing press, and used
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: it for something good. That's what AI is today. Yes,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: can it do bad things? Hundred percent? Could it potentially,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: you know, yes, all of the risks are true, but
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I think the reward and the potential and the upside
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: is exponentially better. Especially I focus on nonprofits because of
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: my Christian worldview, but I also help. As I've said already,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: large large, large businesses and organizations and businesses from small
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: to large right now are starting to leverage. And that's
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: what my book is about. The six technology levers. How
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: to find the million dollar problem in your business and
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: make a million dollar solution using AI. That's what it's about.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Businesses are leveraging AI today, and we are in what
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I call the age of the ephemeral app. You're going
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: to be able to build an app now without one
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars of investment. You're going to be able
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: to go to an AI and say, hey, I need
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: an app that helps my son. And I literally did
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: this with my daughter. That helps my daughter prepare for
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: this semester of advanced mathematics. She's sixteen years old. It generated,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: I gave it all of the documents, the syllabus, the
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: course materials from her math class. It generated weekly QUI
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: for me in an app form that I can give
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: to my daughter or anyone else and say, hey, get
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: the crack in. This is how you're going to prepare.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: That's aye we're in. So as a business person, when
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: you start looking, or as an entrepreneur, you got an
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: idea of rummaging around in your head. You no longer
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: need to go and find a coder. You can simply
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: jump on these AI tools. And that's what my book
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: walks you through and say, hey, this is the idea
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I have. I've helped doctors, I've helped lawyers, I've helped forests,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: I've helped accountants build custom apps in days that have
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: completely changed the landscape of their business. Give you a
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: if I may give you a simple, simple example. A
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: business had a car rental fleet of cars forty cars deep,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: going great, but they started saying this car rental thing
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: might not be for me. I looked at their business
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: and said, you know what you're missing. You're losing a
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: lot of money on tolls and Texas. Every time you
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: touch the roads here, they're charging tolls. If you have
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: a car rental fleet, if you're not tracking the tolls properly,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: you use it. I help them build an app that
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: tracks the tolls and then builds the customer for it directly.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: They ended up taking that app that they built for
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: their car and they sold it leased it twenty five
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: thirty forty dollars a month to every other car rental
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: agency in the area. That app ended up making them
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: a bigger income stream than the car rental agency itself. Wow,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: that's the age we're in today. Your idea that's bubbling
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: around in your head might very well be a bigger
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: income stream than the thing that you're doing. You might
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: be a baker, but the idea you have for tracking
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: recipes for all your cookies and distributing someone might pay
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: you fifteen twenty dollars a month to access your database
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: of recipes, but they might not buy twenty dollars or
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: cookies every month. That's the age we are in today.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: So when I look at it in that scope, AI
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: is significantly a bigger opportun tunity than it is a risk.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Now are there risks? Cybersecurity risks, privacy risks, data leakage risks.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Could China be spying or anywhere else be spying on
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: us and trying to reap private information about us through AI?
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: One hundred percent sad part of that, though, is Facebook's
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: doing it too. Google's doing it too. You kind of
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: can't avoid it.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Right, I tell you what, Gregory, very entertaining.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I know that I want to get more into the AI,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: especially in the nonprofit, especially in the church and spreading
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the gospel conversation. Can I invite you back on the show?
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Of course you would be honored, honored. I'll add this
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: the reason I personally focus on churches because where churches
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: and nonprofits, they usually don't have the budgets of the
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: big banks and the businesses, so they need the efficiency
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: that AI can bring even more.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: So give me a riskite, give me a website before
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: we go, Give me a website because to reach out to.
