Cyber Literacy = Hacker Prevention : Craig Taylor on Building CyberHoot and Protecting Your Digital Life

In this powerful and practical episode of the Freedom and Prosperity Podcast, host Desi Arnaz sits down with Craig Taylor, co-founder of CyberHoot, a cybersecurity training platform that’s transforming how companies — and individuals — stay safe online.

Craig’s journey from corporate cybersecurity expert to successful entrepreneur is a story of courage, patience, and purpose. Drawing on his background in psychology and decades in the tech world, Craig shares how CyberHoot was built around one key idea: people learn best through positive reinforcement, not punishment.

Together, Desi and Craig uncover why most security breaches happen not through complex hacking, but through simple human error — and how education, awareness, and a little consistency can prevent 80–90% of attacks.

Key takeaways from this episode include:

• Why 80–90% of data breaches are caused by human error — not hackers.
  
  
• How positive reinforcement can change behavior and build cyber-smart teams.
  
  
• The psychology behind CyberHoot’s “HootFish” training approach.
  
  
• Why delayed gratification and persistence are the keys to entrepreneurial success.
  
  
• How individuals and businesses can protect themselves in the age of AI and phishing.
  
  

Craig also shares his personal story of leaving the corporate world to create a business that not only succeeds financially but also delivers social good — helping thousands of companies prevent costly and devastating cyberattacks.
