What if the biggest cybersecurity threat in your company isn’t your tech — but your people?

In this episode of the Efani Features Podcast, host Mark Kreitzman interviews Craig Taylor, veteran cybersecurity expert and CEO of CyberHoot, to uncover why outdated training models are failing — and how a psychology-driven, reward-based approach is changing how businesses defend themselves from phishing, smishing, ransomware, and scam-driven breaches.

With over 30 years in the industry and a mission to cyber-train 1 billion people, Craig shares how CyberHoot helps organizations of all sizes (from 5 to 50,000+ employees) tackle today’s threat landscape with gamified, positive-reinforcement-based cyber literacy programs.

🎯 In this episode:

• Why most corporate phishing tests fail to change behavior
• How fake punishment emails (e.g., fake bonuses, fake HR messages) damage employee trust
• The psychology behind successful training: reward good behavior, don’t shame mistakes
• The most common scams in 2025: pig butchering, QR code parking scams, romance traps, job offer frauds, overpayment bait
• How CyberHoot helps both individuals (free) and businesses (through MSPs or direct)
• Why SMBs are prime targets for ransomware — and why cyber apathy is the real enemy
• How “too small to be targeted” is the most dangerous lie businesses tell themselves
• Craig’s #1 recommendation for every person and company: get a password manager

You'll also learn how Efani’s secure SIM protection pairs with CyberHoot’s training to close the last major human gap in cybersecurity.

What happens when your bank fails, your government locks your money, and your savings vanish overnight?

That’s exactly what happened to Tony Yazbeck, co-founder of The Bitcoin Way, when Lebanon's financial collapse wiped out his life savings. In this riveting episode of the Efani Features Podcast, host Mark Kreitzman talks with Tony about how that devastation led him to Bitcoin — and why he now helps others reclaim their financial sovereignty through education, self-custody, and privacy-first infrastructure.

This is not another “Bitcoin price” conversation. This is about survival, control, and the future of money.

🧠 In this episode:

• How losing everything revealed the truth about fiat, banking, and centralized control
• Why Bitcoin is not an investment — it’s savings technology for the post-dollar world
• Why self-custody is non-negotiable (and how to do it properly)
• What The Bitcoin Way teaches: cold wallets, encrypted vaults, air-gapped security, Bitcoin nodes, disaster recovery, and more
• Helping non-technical users get started — even if they’ve never bought Bitcoin before
• How to avoid the top 3 mistakes that get people’s coins stolen
• Digital privacy strategies including de-Googled phones, GrapheneOS setups, and privacy-first comms
• Why Tony believes the future is Bitcoin + sovereign communities — and why the dollar system is already collapsing

You’ll also hear why any amount of Bitcoin — even 0.01 — is meaningful, and why high-net-worth individuals are often the most vulnerable due to misplaced trust in legacy systems.

This isn’t just a cautionary tale. It’s a wake-up call for anyone using hardware wallets, storing crypto long-term, or assuming they’re "too small to be targeted."

• How a cold wallet turned into a hot wallet without Brandon realizing it — and how the attackers exploited that
