Are Your Password Safe?
On this podcast, I tell the story of a recent cyber attack on a client. Last week a client of ours had his e-mail hacked. The hacker then requested a wire from the client's account. Our security measures prevented it (Thankfully). The story should make you seriously consider being more diligent about using strong passwords. I explain how I manage my passwords.

In Honor of Those That Serve
A big thank you this week to Frank Gustafon of One Bold Move for his service and for leaving a review of the podcast in iTunes. Frank is a Marine and has a great podcast for Service Members.
Lead like a Marine is a weekly podcast focused on helping Marines and other Service Members translate their leadership skills and abilities as they transition back into the civilian job market. We interview those who “have been there and done that”. Great stories of successful transition into the civilian marketplace.
If you enjoy the podcast and are so moved, I sure would appreciate a honest review in iTunes. It would help us build the Plan Well community which helps everyone make smarter financial decisions
