    How Tech is Invading Privacy E167

    Technology is evolving rapidly and with it, the boundaries of personal privacy are being tested. Privacy, security, and user choice are the foundations of responsible technology. When AI and cameras are everywhere, where should responsibility truly lie? KEY MOMENTS  02:29 Evolution of technology as entrepreneur perspective  04:56 Invasiveness and risk factor of technology  10:14 What Smart safe does?  11:51 How the Smart safe works  17:16 User controls and Customization  20:30 Advice for using Tech Responsibly  24:01 Where to buy this safe and product availability  In this episode of the FIT4Privacy Podcast, host Punit Bhatia speaks with serial entrepreneur Oscar Hedaya about how emerging technologies, from AI and surveillance systems to connected everyday products, are reshaping our private spaces.  They explore the growing privacy paradox: our desire for protection, convenience, and innovation versus the risks of constant monitoring, data misuse, and loss of control.

My background has been in product development and sales for over 15 years. Building a product that physically protects people’s most sensitive items while relying on software and internet connectivity forced me to confront privacy, security, and user control in very real ways, not hypothetical. My focus today is designing connected products that respect ownership, provide transparency, and earn trust over time, especially in homes, hospitality, and business environments.    ABOUT THE HOST     Punit Bhatia is one of the leading privacy experts who works independently and has worked with professionals in over 30 countries.

    AI on LinkedIn Authenticity, Automation & the New Rules E165

    AI is changing how professionals communicate, market, and build relationships on LinkedIn but using more automation doesn’t always lead to better outcomes.  In this episode of the FIT4Privacy Podcast, we sit down with Judi Hays, LinkedIn strategist and author of Elevate, Expand, Engage, to explore how AI is reshaping visibility, credibility, and professional branding on LinkedIn.

We discuss why LinkedIn is not a selling platform, how the algorithm has shifted to prioritize integrity over hacks, and why saves and meaningful comments now matter more than likes or hashtags.  The episode also dives into privacy and security concerns, including risky links, fake profiles, and automation tools that can lead to account suspension. Whether you’re a consultant, executive, job seeker, or founder, this conversation offers practical, experience-based guidance on how to use AI responsibly while building a trusted professional presence.  If you’re navigating LinkedIn in the age of AI, this episode will help you understand what has changed, what no longer works, and why authenticity still wins.   ⸻  ABOUT THE GUEST  Judi Radice Hays is a New York-based LinkedIn strategist, personal brand expert, and author of Elevate, Expand, Engage: A Refreshingly Different Approach to Winning on LinkedIn.
