A couple of days ago, my gmail account got hacked… and for a moment, it was that exact stomach-drop feeling no online business owner wants.
In this episode, I’m walking you through what happened, what I learned, and what I want every business owner to know about protecting their email, their reputation, and their audience - especially now that scams are getting smarter, cleaner, and much more convincing.
You’ll also hear the perspective shift that helped me move from panic into action - and why I believe being prepared matters so much more than trying to be perfect.
