CYBERISKIQ from the CARE-Report: Quantifying Small Business Cyber Risk with Ralph Pasquariello and Craig Sekowski (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 915)

On this episode of North Fulton Business Radio, host John Ray welcomes cyber risk specialists Ralph Pasquariello and Craig Sekowski of the CARE-Report. Ralph and Craig explain why small and mid-sized businesses are far more exposed to cyber threats than they realize, not only from data breaches, but also from business interruption and extended downtime that many leaders never quantify until after an incident happens.

They describe how the CARE-Report’s CYBERISKIQ offering gives owners and CFOs a quantitative look at their exposure, translating cyber scenarios into dollars and days. Instead of selling IT services, the CARE-Report sits between cybersecurity and cyber insurance, running thousands of simulated scenarios, analyzing policies for exclusions and gaps, and helping clients right-size coverage based on real risk rather than guesswork.

Ralph and Craig also share why traditional “assessments” often stop at a technical checklist and how their work complements MSPs, attorneys, and insurance brokers by giving everyone a financial risk model they can work from together. They offer examples of companies that believed they were protected because they carried a certain cyber limit to satisfy contracts, only to discover that a serious incident could quickly exceed that limit once business interruption and remediation costs were added.

This conversation serves as a practical guide for any owner, CFO, or advisor seeking to safeguard revenue and enhance cyber coverage prior to an attack.

John Ray is the host of North Fulton Business Radio. The show is produced by John Ray and North Fulton Business Radio, LLC, an affiliate of Business RadioX®, and is recorded inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Meijah Lewis on Sugar Daddy Cookies, Jeff Brown on Cybersecurity (Family Business Radio, Episode 69)

Family Business Radio host Anthony Chen welcomes Meijah “Mimi” Lewis of Sugar Daddy Cookies and Jeff Brown of TakTik Technologies. Mimi shares how a pandemic kitchen idea became a fast-growing cookie brand, from landing a 4,000-cookie Amazon order to expanding into vegan and gluten-free lines and preparing for a brick-and-mortar location. She explains what she would change about hiring and why family rhythms and faith shape every decision.

Jeff outlines a practical roadmap for small businesses to modernize IT, choose the right mix of cloud services, and harden security, covering AI readiness, backup and continuity basics, and simple controls that prevent costly mistakes.

Anthony closes with a reflection on legacy, urging owners to clarify why and the values they want to pass on to their kids and grandkids, noting that dollars alone rarely sustain a family enterprise across generations.

Family Business Radio is underwritten and brought to you by Anthony Chen with Lighthouse Financial Network. The show is produced by John Ray and the North Fulton affiliate of Business RadioX®.

Key Takeaways from This Episode

Product plus story creates traction: quality ingredients and a memorable brand experience open doors.
Large early wins signal reliability: delivering a 4,000-cookie corporate order builds credibility.
Serve dietary needs well: vegan and gluten-free options broaden the market without diluting the core.
Hire deliberately: document processes, set expectations, and protect culture as demand grows.
Most firms land on hybrid cloud: balancing cost, performance, and compliance rather than going all in on one model.
Do an AI readiness check: data quality, policies, validation steps, and change management come before tools.
Security basics matter: backups, encryption, MFA, phishing education, and tested continuity plans prevent downtime.
Trust but verify: confirm unusual payment or account-change requests through a separate channel.

Key Takeaways from This Episode

Katie Moore, Katherine Moore Law, LLC

Trademarks protect the identity, value, and recognition your business builds, not just your logo.
You don’t have to wait to register. “Intent to use” filings can reserve your rights as you grow.
Descriptive names are weak trademarks; creative, distinctive names offer stronger protection.

Sonal Chandler, Minerva Consulting

Small businesses are attractive targets for hackers due to limited cybersecurity defenses.
Basic protections like strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and staff training go a long way.
Don’t just chase AI tools. Focus on how they fit your business strategy and strengthen operations.

Diamond Ford, Don’t Touch My Hair by Hollywood

Seniors want luxury, dignity, and routine in their grooming just like anyone else.
Salon environments using nostalgic music and décor create healing, memory-rich experiences for aging clients.
Stories from elders—like a 110-year-old who said “right now” is the best time to be alive—remind us to live gratefully and stay present.

Teresa Caro, Liminist

Founders often become the bottleneck to growth when they don’t shift leadership mindsets.
Succession planning can take seven or more years. Start before you feel “ready.”
Build a business that can thrive without you; systems and strategy matter more than solo effort.

Anthony Chen, Lighthouse Financial and Host, Family Business Radio

True legacy means living without regret—making memories, not just money.
Overworking can cost you the life experiences you’re working so hard to afford.
“You can’t buy time or memories”—use your success to support the life you want to live now.

AI, Cyber Threats, and Your Business with Chris Noles, Beyond Computer Solutions (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 880)

In this episode of North Fulton Business Radio, host John Ray welcomes back Chris Noles, owner and president of Beyond Computer Solutions, to discuss what every business, large or small, needs to know about modern cybersecurity threats. Chris breaks down the evolving risks posed by phishing attacks, AI-powered scams, and outdated systems, and why human error remains the biggest vulnerability. He also shares critical updates on the upcoming Windows 10 end-of-life deadline, the importance of password managers and multifactor authentication, and the truth about cyber insurance coverage most businesses get wrong.

Beyond the insights, John announces that North Fulton Business Radio is a proud client and partner of Beyond Computer Solutions. Whether you’re a law firm, healthcare practice, or construction company, this episode is a must-listen if protecting your data and operations matters to you like it does to John and his team.

Key Takeaways from this Episode

Cyberattacks target everyone, not just large organizations. If your device connects to the internet, you’re at risk.
Phishing and impersonation attacks are on the rise, and AI makes them harder to detect.
Training staff and having robust monitoring tools in place is more critical than ever.
Windows 10 support ends October 15, 2025. Businesses should plan device upgrades now to avoid security vulnerabilities.
Cyber insurance is often inadequate. Attorney fees alone in a breach can exceed $800,000.
Don’t use browsers to save passwords. Use secure password managers like Bitwarden instead.
AI tools like Microsoft Copilot can boost productivity but must be deployed securely.
Proactive IT partners make all the difference. Responsiveness, strategy, and security should be non-negotiable.
