    Before You Click “Accept”: The AI Privacy Warning Everyone Needs to Hear

    In this episode of Oh Hell No…Not My Data, Keisha sits down with Daniel C. Rodgers, award-winning author, former big tech program manager, podcaster, financial freedom expert, and creator of the Escape the Clock methodology for a powerful conversation about privacy, AI, data collection, and the hidden cost of convenience. Daniel shares insights from more than 20 years in tech, including work connected to Microsoft, Google, cloud, product, program management, and AI infrastructure. Together, Keisha and Daniel explore why personal data is more valuable than most people realize, how AI changes the privacy conversation, and why clicking “accept,” “allow,” or “agree” without pausing can have long-term consequences. The conversation also dives into Daniel’s science fiction novel Kill Switch, a warning-style exploration of artificial intelligence, control, human autonomy, surveillance, and what could happen if society hands too much power over to systems we may not be able to shut down. From real-world phishing stories to AI-generated images, data brokers, smart devices, surveillance, and the future of personal freedom, this episode will make you rethink what you share online and who may be using it.

    Bonus Episode 21: Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Small Business, Big Risk: Cybersecurity Moves That Matter

    In this special Cybersecurity Awareness Month episode of Oh Hell No…Not My Data, Keisha welcomes back Robert Maxwell, founder of TGT Solutions, to discuss practical cybersecurity strategies for small and medium-sized businesses. Many small business owners believe they are “too small” to be attacked, but Robert explains why that assumption can put business data, customer trust, and company reputation at risk. This episode breaks down common vulnerabilities, why prevention matters, how to think about cybersecurity on a small budget, and the practical steps every business can take to strengthen protection over time. You’ll learn why cybersecurity is not a one-time task, how awareness training can help teams stop and review before clicking suspicious emails, why multi-factor authentication matters, and how working with the right partner can help small businesses build a realistic month-over-month cybersecurity plan. Robert also shares an important reminder about AI: bad actors can use AI too, so businesses need to understand what data is exposed, what is password protected, what is logged, and where expert guidance may be needed. If you are a small or mid-sized business owner, this episode is a reminder that protecting your data is not just about technology, it is about protecting your customers, your reputation, and the future of your business.
