In this powerful and practical episode of the Freedom and Prosperity Podcast, host Desi Arnaz sits down with Craig Taylor, co-founder of CyberHoot, a cybersecurity training platform that’s transforming how companies — and individuals — stay safe online.
Craig’s journey from corporate cybersecurity expert to successful entrepreneur is a story of courage, patience, and purpose. Drawing on his background in psychology and decades in the tech world, Craig shares how CyberHoot was built around one key idea: people learn best through positive reinforcement, not punishment.
Together, Desi and Craig uncover why most security breaches happen not through complex hacking, but through simple human error — and how education, awareness, and a little consistency can prevent 80–90% of attacks.
Key takeaways from this episode include:
- Why 80–90% of data breaches are caused by human error — not hackers.
- How positive reinforcement can change behavior and build cyber-smart teams.
- The psychology behind CyberHoot’s “HootFish” training approach.
- Why delayed gratification and persistence are the keys to entrepreneurial success.
- How individuals and businesses can protect themselves in the age of AI and phishing.
Craig also shares his personal story of leaving the corporate world to create a business that not only succeeds financially but also delivers social good — helping thousands of companies prevent costly and devastating cyberattacks.
