Welcome to the start of a brand-new year and a brand-new season of the podcast.
We’re kicking off 2026 with a conversation that sets the tone for what this season is all about: real stories, real lessons, and honest conversations about cybersecurity and business risk.
In today’s episode, you’ll hear from Billy Solano, who shares the cybersecurity wake-up call that reshaped how he thinks about protecting his business. Beyond the firewalls and software, Billy is on a mission to humanize IT; moving past the jargon to focus on the people and the relationships at the heart of technology.
What started as a single incident quickly became a turning point that forced tough questions about preparedness, responsibility, and what it really means to be secure in a digital world.
This isn’t a technical deep dive. It’s a real-world story that many business owners will recognize and one that serves as a vital reminder as we head into a new year.
