Building a Business You Don't Lose Overnight: Lessons from Cybersecurity - With Michele Novack #72
Published 3 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
What if a single email could undo everything you have spent years building? Your biggest business risk is not your competition. It is the one you assume someone else is handling.
Today’s conversation is about a risk most entrepreneurs know exists, but quietly hope never becomes their problem... Cybersecurity.
For many business owners, it feels abstract, technical, or like something that belongs to the IT department. But the reality is this. Cyber risk is not a technology problem. It is a leadership problem.
My guest today, Michele Novack, is the founder of CardinalsByte, where she helps entrepreneurs and small business owners understand cybersecurity through a business and leadership lens. Not firewalls and jargon, but accountability, decision making, and protecting the business you worked so hard to build.
In this episode, we talk about why small businesses are often more vulnerable than they realize, the most dangerous assumptions entrepreneurs make about outsourcing risk, and how ignoring cybersecurity can quietly undo years of hard work overnight.
If you are an entrepreneur who prefers to focus on growth, customers, and culture, this is a conversation you need to hear.
